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? Co-written 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 Amazon.com

 A great beginning! August 29, 2008
I love how they set up this classic comic book story. Batman is a very real person with lots of great toys and a passion for fighting injustice. With this movie they created a very dark Gothem and a very dark story...as it was meant to be. A vast improvement from where the films have been going until now.
And there is no better way to watch this than on Blu-ray!

Great Movie! Much more serious and well done than the recent Batman movies. (Except for the first two done by Burton)

Bought this to play on the Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player I just purchased. The sound and video was excellent.
Great Movie August 28, 2008
Love the Nolan Batman Films! better than anyother franchise
however getting it here was an issue, nearly 2 weeks late despite paying the extra cash to get it here BEFORE THAT, failed to provide any consignment details so i could track the item
nice litte bonus in the bluray was the opening to dark knight
Hes back in black with no more shiny flashy light shows! August 27, 2008
The Batman and Robin screwed everything up for Batman. During the 8 years of no Batman movies there was going to be a new Batman movie, Batman Triumphant, but they pulled the plug on that because of poor reception from the audience. It was supposed to have Scarecrow who was going to be played by Howard Stern. Then a few months before it came out in theaters they showed the trailer's. I was speechless when I saw the trailer's because i was born after the third movie came out and was way to young to see the 4th. But I grew up watching the first and second movie. Then I saw Scarecrow in the trailer.
I was 11 when I saw the movie. It was amazing seeing the explosions and what not. Batman was played by Christian Bale who was great, but I have only one complaint, why does he speak in that growley voice. It wasnt necessary. The movie was directed by Chrisopher Nolan Who did a pefect job. The bat girlfriend Rachel was played by Kattie Holmes, Not so shallow this time.
The villians were Scarecrow and Raza Ghoul. Scarecrow did a great job as the phyciatrist and the villian. Raza Ghoul was definetly not my favorite villian. I give this movie 4 1/2 growly Batmans out of 5. Tommorrow Ill be reviewing Batman the 1960's movie.
