'Batman Begins' establishes the origin of the best superhero trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2017)

This movie perfectly displays the origin of Bruce Wayne on his journey to becoming The Batman from the moment his parents are killed. What I really like about this movie his how it shows Bruce's relationship with bats. From the first time he saw them in the cave he fell into, Bruce is shown to be afraid, and almost mesmerized by the tiny furry animals. He eventually accepts his co-existence with bats when he re-vists the cave, and calmly lets bats swarm around him. In some scenes he treats bats as his allies. This relationship with bats is displayed throughout the entire trilogy, and is what makes Christopher Nolan's vision of Batman stand out. After the movie establishes Bruce's origin, it brilliantly and accurately shows Bruce's path to becoming Batman, from him forging batarangs, to the creation of the Batsuit, to the first time he busts criminals. This movie also contains the first appearance of import Batman/Gotham City related characters. Those being Alfred Pennyworth, Lucius Fox, and Commissioner Gordon. Each one of these characters are displayed perfectly, and each have the perfect actors for their roles. Of course, in most superhero movies, the hero isn't paired against casual city criminals. they eventually are given a challenge, when they are paired against the antagonist. Bruce does have experience from his encounters with the League of Shadows, he isn't quite ready to take on a criminal cancer within the depths of Gotham City, the notorious Scarecrow. The twisted villainous character gives Batman the true test of fear.
Overall, Christopher Nolan sets his Batman trilogy on the right path with this movie. Everything about this movie appeals to Batman fans, or superhero fans in general. Everything about the movie is great. Christian Bale takes on the role of Batman and does one of the best jobs as the character to this day. The movie accurately captures the character "Scarecrow" and tops it off with the League of Shadows and Ra's Al Ghul. This movie is absolutely perfect, every DC fan should see it. 10/10
