It should be titled Batman Reborn!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2006)

I was surprised by how good this movie was. After the atrocity that was Batman and Robin, I was forever fearful of Batman Begins. But to my delight, this movie delivered everything that Batman was and is. First off, for anyone who does not read the comics, let me tell you this: Batman is not a good guy. He is an antihero. What he does is good, but his ways of dealing with the bad guys are very questionable. That is what is brought in Batman Begins. Christian Bale shows us the arrogance, the weakness, and the pain that Batman went through, and he does it with grace and finesse. I will say that he is the best Batman we have had so far. The storyline is great, with Bruce Wayne struggling with the death of his parents. After much training with Razal Ghoul (I probably butchered his name), Bruce returns to Gotham, ready to avenge the unavenged. Everyone's acting is exceptional and well-casted, except for Katie Holmes, who I hope dies at the beginning of the 2nd second batman movie. Great cinematography, great acting (for the most part) and a superb storyline that does, to an extent, follow the comic books, Batman Begins is a superhero movie not to be missed! A must-buy for anyone!
