Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2007)

"Batman Begins" is a movie that it arises with the mission of recover the franchise, after the horrible "Batman & Robin" of Joel Schumacher. Now, the Warner Studios leaves the project in the hands of Christopher Nolan (director of Memento and Insomnia)and the scrip writer David S. Goyer ,familiriazed with the comic book world. And the only way of regaining the lost prestige of Batman it's trough a picture that it treats the character in a very realistic way, but without losing its roots with the comic book. The movie has a serious treatment and the action that involves a movie of this size it is given in a smart way and always according to the story. There is attention in that the figure of Batman does not came in a spontaneous way, instead, it shows the many sacrifices that Bruce Wayne had to face in order to become the dark knight. Bruce Wayne has the same importance than Batman, and it is show to us how it was those years moved away of Gotham and how a man could transform his live in a quest for justice. The bat mobile,the batman suit, the bat cave, his weapons, are in all moments justified. The suit it is just a military armor whit some adds on. The bat cave it is not was constructed by man, it is just a big cave with a waterfall, that it is the home of the bats that frighten Bruce Wayne. And the same happen with everything else in the movie, where the script respond to the necessities of the story and does not result skillful the way in which are told this actions. During the whole picture we are before the presence of a city that it's look real, but in a certain way it's a hyper reality. As in the comics, certain aspects of the reality are emphasized. In fact, Gotham remember the look of Blade runner, for the way in which mix modernity with decay and darkness. The story is surrounding, because in each moment we wanted to know more about the journey of this hero in order to stop the imminent terrorist action against Gotham.One character that it had been left of side was the commissioner James Gordon, who in this occasion is a police sergeant, one of the few honest in Gotham, someone which in every look shows a feeling of sadness but at the same time of hope that things could be done in good way, in a decent way, that Gotham does not succumb in corruption and crime. He becomes one of the allies of the dark knight, because it intuits that something impressive is needed in order to wake up the people of Gotham. Batman Begins it is the best adaptation of a Superhero to the big screen, because it respects the origin of Batman, developing convincing characters and situations, showing the cape crusader as an threatening and brutal figure, that it relocates it as the hero he always has been, lord of the knight and doom of the criminals.
