Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

Bruce Wayne(Christian Bale)is taken from a prison in a foreign country by Henri Ducard(Liam Neeson) to Ra's Al Ghul's(Ken Wantabe) palace in the mountains to learn how to let his fear and self-doubt go. He trains with Ducard and flashes back to explain how he got there constantly. He explains how he couldn't get his revenge for his parents, why he's afraid of bats, and his relationship with Rachel(Katie Holmes). He completes his training and is told that he will lead an army into Gothem to destroy it. When Bruce refuses to comply, he has no choice but to kill Ra's Al Ghul and burn down his palace, saving Ducard and his own life in the process. Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham being grated by his trusty butler Alfred(Michael Caine). He decides to fight crime for Gothem and creates the alter-persona of Batman. Gaining new technology from Wayne Enterprises employee Lucius Fox(Morgan Freeman), Batman goes to work quick taking down major crime boss CarmineFalcone(Tom Wilkinson).
A psychologist by the name of Dr. Jonothon Crane(Cillian Murphy) causes with a militarized hallucinogen that he uses with his scarecrow mask. Batman must stop The Scarecrow along with a larger twist that unravels.
The movie is the superhero movie that I have been waiting for. It is the dark and realistic Batman that fans have been aching for. Keeping close the story made by Frank Miller's(Sin City)graphic novels, Christopher Nolan strikes as big as he did with Memento. Bale is a great Batman and Cillian Murphy plays an evil Scarecrow. Michael Caine also made a splendid Alfred. Overall, the movie is absolutely stunning and completely entertaining. It's the best movie of the summer!
I highly recommend this movie.
