A stunning reboot, but not just for Batman, for superhero films the world over.

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2015)

Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" is an inspiring piece of work. A piece of work that shows us that superhero films can actually be great films, all they have to do is shy away from the more cartoonish childish style of the 90's. Nolan's Batman is a much darker Batman, just like his alter ego Bruce Wayne. In the public eye Bruce Wayne is a billionaire playboy. A man who has more money then he knows what to do with. But there is so much more to him then that. Christopher Nolan's Bruce Wayne is a damaged angry individual. A man who is constantly surrounded by rage because of the death of his parents. Nolan's idea of exploring the characters origins is what sets the tale apart from any other Batman in my eyes. By delving into Bruce Wayne's origins we (the audience) are able to understand the character more. We feel what Bruce Wayne feels and we understand what drives him to do what he does. Before Batman Begins I feared that superhero films were becoming extinct. Christopher Nolan has showed that Superhero films can survive in modern day cinema, they just have to learn to take themselves a little more seriously. If the upcoming film Batman Vs Superman (and the new DC universe overall) is a success, then a lot of it will be down to Christopher Nolan. His bold attempt at redefining Superhero story telling has been a massive success, and has set the ball rolling for Superheroes to creep out of the shadows and back on to the big screen.
