Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand? Cowritten by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi Batman at Americancivilwar.com

'Batman Begins' Looks and Sounds Great! |
Blu-ray owners finally got their wish, "Batman Begins" comes to the format. It looks great and Dolby TrueHD soundtrack rumbles with clarity. Watching and listening to the 'Tumbler' in action is amazing.
BUY IT!!! You will not be disappointed.
Plus...the blu-ray gets "The Dark Knight" Prologue, the first 6 minutes of possibly the best movie of all time. |

Really great movie. You will love it even if you aren't into the whole "batman" thing, as it has a sense of realism. Definitely recommended. |

He's no Adam West |

...but that's a good thing. An excellent, dark viewpoint of how Batman got a start. Better than Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney combined. |

The Darkness Begins |
A dark study into the working of the mind of Batman, Different than any other Batmanmovie.
Everyone has a dark side even him that balances them as a real person, not just a one sided figure. Well made, written and acted. |
