Completely believeable and very real. Batman is placed in a world where he can exist, without making the audiece feel like they're watching a fantasy movie.Katie Holmes is good as Bruce's childhood frined Rachel Dawes. I've never udnerstod why fans disliked her. She wasn't in the oomics, and for creating a character from scratch, David S. Goyer did an excellent job.Michael Cane, Alfred Pennyworth, a wonderful performance, with the charm and witty humor that is perfectly associated with Alfred Pennyworth, love watching him.Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox is just plain and simply put, spankin' awesome. His role as Lucius is perfect, they couldn't have cat anyone better than him for the role.All in all, a wonderful Batman movie, the story's top notch. The cinematography is fantastic, the action sequences will blow you away. All fans of Batman who were bitterly disappointed with Batman and Robin, you have been vindicated with a movie worth of the title "Batman Begins".About the Extras:The second disc contains documentaries regarding the origins of Batman, the making of the movie, the comic books and how they made the Tumbler for the movie. If you're a sucker for special features, wich I am, you'll love this disc.Get these DVDs while they're still in stock, this will be gone before you know it!
