The First Comic Book Movie Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2017)

In a time where comic book movies were complete jokes, in comes Christopher Nolan to create the first comic book movie masterpiece. Batman Begins is the definitive Batman origin story. This has some of the best exposition ever put to film with how they build up Batman.
Christian Bale's performance, I feel, gets too much backlash. Yeah, he has a gravelly voice (especially in the sequels), but I feel like people didn't get it. Don't get me wrong, I'll joke about it any day, but it makes sense as to why he has that voice. With Michael Keaton, he still sounded like Michael Keaton when he was Batman. Even the legendary Kevin Conroy (with his Batman from the Arkham games being my favorite Batman EVER) still sounds like Kevin Conroy when he was Batman. When Christian Bale plays Batman, he does something that no Batman before him did: make his voice unrecognizable. Think about it, he does not sound like Christian Bale when he's playing Batman, he sounds like someone else. If Batman's goal is to make his voice unrecognizable, then he fully succeeded.
In the end, I love this movie. It might be my least favorite of the trilogy, but Batman Begins still gets a 10/10.
