It's a new milestone in superhero movies and barely knew better things lay ahead.

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2015)

Batman certainly has always been the most famous and important character of DC Comics universe. Previously, the film portrayed the character with two distinct approaches with Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher. With the monumental failure of Batman & Robin, the damage done in the image of the Dark Knight was so great that other adaptations have been set aside for eight years. It was then that she was the revolutionary and brilliant Christopher Nolan, the director of the excellent Memento (2000) and Insomnia (2002), stunned the world with his vision. The Warner Bros. wanted to revive the story of the hero. After trying to contact some directors, Christopher Nolan himself presented his vision of the character. The British director has always been a fan of the character, but was not an expert on comic books. So even called a fan of the character to help him to write, David S. Goyer.
Goyer, Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley began meeting then in Nolan's garage, where they began to develop the script and exchange ideas for large sequences. Crowley was shaping to Gotham City, the Batmobile and other elements into amazing models, working on the construction of Gotham. The city has never been more realistic, given that Burton has created a Gotham biggest concern with language abusing the dark and Schumacher had used the entire color palette in his films. The scenarios were built in huge studios and based in New York and Chicago mostly, but the director did not want it all done in a movie studio and get that goal.
The writers had some works based on the construction of this script. The story "The Man Who Falls" 1989 was one of the foundations. "The Long Halloween" who had the gangster Carmine Falcone approach and a series of serious and sober. Also, "Batman: Year One". The comics of the 70s, in general, also influences were clearly noted. We then see the evolution of the character, starting with a fear of bats Bruce Wayne as a child, through the death of his parents at the hands of Joe Chill (Richard Brake), to the arduous training to become Batman.
Wanting to be as real as possible, Christopher Nolan changed some details in the story of the main character. The idea of Bruce Wayne have learned everything you know with the biggest experts was discarded and a realistic film and demanded a passage faster and with a link between the coach and trained, the choice was the right one.
The interesting thing is to see the real consequences of the actions of Batman. Even tech gadgets are still in state primary and more precarious, even though they are cutting edge technology.
Still on the realism, one of the most interesting was the discovery of the "Batcave", and the foundations of the residence of Wayne. And it is there that one of the key scenes of the film where Bruce is in the cave with bats, one symbolizing the birth of Batman.
As for the casting, Christian Bale, who plays Batman / Bruce Wayne has an instinctive performance and knew that to play the character, which would turn into an animal. The actor, who is an actor proved quite dramatic, building an extremely realistic Batman, with fears, failures, faults and virtues, from all distress, suffering, pain and drama of Bruce Wayne, and the strength and majesty of Batman. Many actors be able to play one or the other, but Bale got the better of the two in a unique way.
The two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman, who has played many villains in his career, seemed born to play Gordon. Katie Holmes is beautiful and has some more dramatic scenes where he does very well, being the romantic pair Bruce's childhood, and someone he trusts. Her character does not exist in the comics, but is based on Rachel Caspian "Batman: Year Two", she is the daughter of the villain Grim Reaper. Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane, Liam Neeson is Ducard. Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone, one of the gangsters who run crime in Gotham City and Rutger Hauer as an executive at Wayne Enterprises that is abandoning the philosophy of Thomas Wayne and acting only in the interest of the company, appear in cameos but always appearing very when required.
Hans Zimmer's soundtrack focuses on pain, conflicts and dramatic charge. With the picture darker and realistic, let's work stronger and more impactive.
Although placed on a smaller scale, the action scenes are great. We start with good fight scenes, treated with enough realism and then there's great escape Tumbler the streets of Gotham, and a grand finale involving Wayne Tower and the escape of several dangerous criminals behind bars. Scenes are exciting, always using little computer graphics and that further increase the sense of what we see on screen might actually be happening.
Christopher Nolan knew how to show anyone previously more dramatic side of a person who decides to be the Batman, studying thoroughly their motives, entering the mind of that person, and basing on the fact of trying to pass the time a true picture of situation, adapting what is not real comics to the reality of today's world. Batman Begins back with praise the origin of the Dark Knight, with clear influence of comics, being a film for adults. Far superior to other films of Batman in his narrative, and design maturity, is a new milestone in superhero movies and barely knew better things lay ahead.
