A new era for Batman begins

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2020)

Batman Begins is the beginning of a new era for Batman films, after the monstrosity that was Batman and Robin.
Batman Begins has an amazing cast of actor as well as a director/writer. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman are all Oscar caliber actors. Christopher Nolan lead these actors from point A to point Z masterfully.
Christian Bale embodies both Bruce Wayne and Batman. We see him try to understand the criminal underworld so he can better fight them in the future. We see his training and why he choose to create the persona of Batman.
Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth is a great caretaker for Bruce and an important ally for Batman in this film. He goes above and beyond his duty as a butler for Bruce.
Liam Neeson plays a character named Ducard. Ducard gives Bruce a path to go on and trains him. Little is truely known of Ducard until the third act.
Gary Oldman plays detective Gordon. Gordon the kind of cop who's a good guy, but he's not perfect.
Morgan Freeman plays Lucius Fox. Freeman was probably the best casting in this movie. I could say more about the character and how he portrays Fox, but I feel like whatever I say wouldn't do him justice.
Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Wilkinson play Rachel Dawes, Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow, and Carmine Falcone. These actors all do a good job portraying their respective characters.
This film does a great job building the characters and the world around them. It's something you need to do the make a good movie. And if you're making a trilogy, it allows you to do some really crazy things in the next two films.
