Synopsis

As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of him - a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parents' deaths is cruelly taken away from him by fate.

Fleeing to the East, where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited.

The discovery of a cave under his mansion, along with a prototype armored suit, leads him to assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong; he becomes Batman!

    An engaging film that takes the Batman series into a darker and more violent realm.
  2. Recent comic book classic

    Batman Begins is surely one of the best prequels in film history. However the word from the creators is that it is not a prequel, but the starting point for a whole new series of Batman films to be released in the future, and we can only hope they maintain a similar mark of excellence. Based on the world famous DC Comics character Batman, it attempts to institute a new narrative of origin for the batty bachelor in black, Bruce Wayne. It really is well put together by director Christopher. Batman is acted wonderfully by Christian Bale, who commands the difficult character in a serious but not over-played manner. The special effects and music add a dark and sinister edge to the film and character, rather like the original Tim Burton-directed Batman of 1989. The pathos of the action and the twists and turns of the story will keep you glued to the screen until the closing credits.
