So It Begins

Batman Begins.

Much darker. Comic strip feeling abadoned along with the tech wow of the rest of the series. More serious slant on good versus evil. This is almost a movie to keep your younger kids from seeing, definitely geared toward adults.

Questions answered, as in most prequels. Why bats? What happened to the parents? How did he attain those superhuman skills? Where did he get all those badass bat toys?

Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are the comic relief and really steal the show with their smaller roles.

Scarecrow was eye candy but not a convincing villan, that was the only small black mark on an otherwise impressive film.


Stacking up former Batmans: Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, I think Christian Bale is the Batman. His character is more haunted by a past and he has the look of a determined soul searching for justice. "I'm Batman", sounded official from Bale's lips.

I could also picture Bale saying "Bond, James Bond".
