Start of something special

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2019)

Batman Begins is the start of an incredible revival of the caped crusaders story. Taken from the comics, Christian Bale's portrayal is fresh and brings a darker side to the Batman franchise. It explains the birth of the superhero in depth with plenty of action sequences. Michael Caine is also fantastic as Bruce Waynes' trusty butler. Cillian Murphy is chilling as Scarecrow who's character adds to the darkness, making Batman for the adults. Nolans first take in the trilogy is visually stunning, Gotham the gothic icon in its true form. There is also a laugh to be had in a perfectly balanced movie.
