MASTERPIECE!
After the travesty that Joel Schumacher delivered with Batman & Robin, the future of Batman was unclear. I mean Batman & Robin is possibly the worst superhero film, and is one of the worst films ever made. Schumacher turned one of the best superheros into a joke. However Warner Brothers took a smart move and hired Christopher Nolan to helm this much needed reboot of the once great franchise. Nolan's vision of Batman is one thats dark, atmospheric, gloomy and melancholic. He knows what makes Batman great, and he uses every trick he's got to create the best Batman film since the Tim Burton days. Batman Begins starts the story, as you might have guessed at the beginning. The film chronicles the humble beginnings of how billionaire Bruce Wayne became a capped crusader. Christopher Nolan brings a renewed energy to the franchise. He is the perfect director to helm the reboot. Nolan's vision is unmatched, and truly delivers a film of epic proportions. Not only that, the villains in the film are more realistic than the laughable villains in Batman & Robin. Sure the villains in Batman & Robin are part of the comic, but in Schumacher's film they were given the crappy family friendly version of what a batman villain should be. Batman Begins erases the memory of Batman & Robin
