Batman Begins discards the previous four films inside series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, since the series, which had gotten off with a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the tale anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following a murder of his parents. He could be drawn in with a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that's strangling it. But are available forces even more sinister at hand?
Cowritten from the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is really a welcome return towards the grim and gritty version in the Dark Knight, owing an incredible debt towards the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't possess the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, similar to most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, then one with the best superhero movies of the company's time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but by incorporating with the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought on the character. Michael Caine provides much from the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, so that as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in their first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy because the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi

DVD Features

The first disc is done from the theatrical trailer plus a Jimmy Fallon-starring Batman Begins spoof from your MTV Movie Awards. The second disc consists of eight featurettes (about 105 minutes total) on a variety of topics. "The Journey Begins" covers early stages in the movie, such as casting and just how director/co-writer Christopher Nolan introduced co-writer David S. Goyer for his comic-book expertise. "Shaping Mind and Body" covers Christian Bale's fight training, and also other featurettes discuss the sets (the Batcave is shown being constructed from wood and sheets), the Batman costume, the Batmobile, the monorail sequence, and also the hazards of filming in Iceland. Each of the behind-the-scenes featurettes are solid but somewhat routine, even though "The Journey Begins" is the widest overview, there's certainly not any centerpiece documentary (all are 8 to fifteen minutes, and there isn't any Play All option). Interviewees tend to get the same throughout: Nolan, Goyer, Bale (the only cast member to get much face time), and also other crew members (it's nice to know through the stunt people).

Potentially more interesting to fans is "Genesis in the Bat," which covers the comic books that influenced the film, including The Long Halloween, Neal Adams's Ra's Al Ghul in the '70s, Dennis O'Neill and Dick Giordano's The Man Who Falls, and Frank Miller's Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. Interviewees include DC Comics editor Paul Levitz and artist Jim Lee, but the latter's involvement eventually degrades the featurette into a pitch for DC's All-Star Batman line. Filling your disc are overviews of four gadgets and eight characters, DVD-ROM features, and a selection of poster-art concepts. To get on the features menu, you have to scroll through a multipage Goyer-scribed comic book, which is often a good read, nevertheless, you can't skip it the subsequent time you need to watch the other disc. Remember that the second disc offers a French menu and French (but not English) subtitles for the featurettes. --David Horiuchi
Batman Begins explores the origins in the Batman legend along with the Dark Knight's emergence as being a force permanently in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the methods to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an selection of high tech deceptions to battle the sinister forces that threaten the city.
