Batman at his Best
Batman Begins is the most unique, action-packed, and overall best Batman movie of all time.In this movie, instead of fights some of his famous enemies, such as the Joker and Poison Ivy, Bruce Wayne battles himself as he tries to find out who he really is.This is the one Batman flick where we get to see exactly how Batman came to be. After witnessing the death of his parents when he was young, billionaire Bruce Wayne wanted to fight villainy in the world. This drove him to become Batman; and, ironically, he chose to become 'Batman' because bats were what he was most afraid of.As Batman, Bruce Wayne uncovers a plot to damage Gotham City's water system, which would in turn destory the city itself. With the help of Wayne Enterprises science wiz, Officer Gordon, and his friend Rachel, Batman must stop these criminals before Gotham City is wiped off the map.Overall, this Batman is great-filled with stunning action scenes and a good plot, this is a must-see movie for any and all Batman fans. It is packed with intriguing information about how and why Bruce became Batman, and we get to see the beginnings of the Batcave, the Bat signal, and a sweet new Batmobile (though it can never replace the original one!). I will admit, however, that the beginning is quite confusing the first time around; it starts with Bruce stuck in some prison in Asia, then he goes into the mountains to train with group that is a sort of 'secret police', the League of Shadows. It all happens so fast that one can get lost and confused quite easily. However, things pick up once Bruck gets back to Gotham City.I wouldn't say that this movie is perfect, but it has several aspects that make it nearly flawless.
