Review

Following Tim Burton's Batman films, the series went in a more colorful and campy direction in the mid-to-late 90s under the watchful eye of Joel Schumacher. Following the box office and critical disappointment that was Batman and Robin (1997), the series lay dormant for eight years before director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Inception) was brought on board to bring the dark knight back to the big screen with a proper origin story. Batman Begins (2005) was the first of a trilogy of films starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, the billionaire who witnesses his parents' murder as a child and grows up to become the crimefighting vigilante known as Batman. The film tracks him as he flees America and trains under the infamous organization known as The League of Shadows, run by Ra's Al Ghul (Liam Neeson). While he agrees with their principles of retribution, he disagrees with their methods, vowing never to kill in the name of enacting vengeance, something which Bruce doubles down on after failing to go through with his plans to kill the petty thug who murdered his parents. Instead, he becomes the caped crusader, hunting down bad guys like the crooked doctor Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy) and attempting to wipe out the criminal empire run by Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson). By day, however, he puts on the guise of drunken billionaire party dude Bruce Wayne, all the while attempting to live up to the image of him held by childhood friend and longtime crush Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes). Speaking of which, the film came out the same year Katie and Tom Cruise tied the knot, but it was filmed prior, so see some pre-Cruise pokies from Katie here in two different scenes in the flick! It looks like Batman Begins to get you aroused!
