Whilst The Dark Knight may have overshadowed this reboot, this is still a great film in its own right. After the debacle of Batman and Robin, it was difficult to comprehend how the series could recover and thankfully Nolan chose to start from scratch. Pitch perfect casting and a greater focus on the hero help to differentiate this from the 90s film series. It's not that the film is "realistic" as many claim (this is after all about a man dressed up as a bat) but it treats the absurdities of the story with respect and creates an emotional connection to the characters by attempting to justify those elements.
