Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" fills in, with a series of murky pointillist dots, the back story of one of the most soulful and tortured superheroes of all.
In "Batman Begins" -- which takes its cues from the original vision of Batman creator Bob Kane, embellishing it heavily -- young Bruce Wayne once fell into a well on his parents' estate and was set upon by a fluttering, flapping cloud of fl bats.
As a filmmaker Nolan has made a name for himself as a purveyor of faux-Hitchcockian gloomy cleverness ("Memento," "Insomnia"), and he has meticulously designed "Batman Begins" to be the feel-bad movie of the summer.

 HD DVD Review: Batman Begins | High-Def Digest
But what really elevates 'Batman Begins' to the level of pop art is the respect with which Nolan treats his story, and the Batman universe.
Right from the beginning, such as in the early flashback scenes of Bruce Wayne as a child, oranges, yellows and greens are quite rich and pure, with wonderfully accurate fleshtones.
The force of sound emanating from the rear speakers is incredibly robust and intricate, and despite the cacophony of sound, subtle details remain audible, such as the flap of a batwing or the grating of metal train wheels.

Being the longest of the Batman films, "Batman Begins" (at a sort of whopping 140 minute running time) only seems to be making up for the failed attempts and many, disastrously many flaws of the other ones.
"Batman Begins" has a truely evil plot coming for a true villain, and a mask that - truth be told - scared the shit out of me. It has every feaux quirk that the Batman legacy lives up to, and then drives beyond that -- accounting for its extensive running time.

 Batman Begins
Based upon Batman characters created by Bob Crane and published by DC Comics, 'Batman Begins' is a fresh and inventive take on the many previously made movies of the same character, some of which were dubious and left many wanting.
As a young child, Bruce Wayne fell down a disused well and was swarmed by teeming bats from a nearby cave (which later becomes the infamous "batcave"), hence the connection to bats which evolved from this fall and which eventually lead to the tragic death of his parents that he witnessed.
The cast of 'Batman Begins' are excellent possibly with the exception of Tom Wilkinson's role as Falcone - Tom is usually good but here he seems out of his depth with not enough anger and nastiness for a crime boss.

 Movie Review - Batman Begins - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
"Batman Begins" is the fifth modern live-action movie to be made about the Caped Crusader, but it's the first one to show why a criminal would fear him.
Batman's focus is much more narrow: He wants to bring down Falcone and his network of criminals.
Actually Eric, "Batman Begins" is the sixth modern movie to be made about the Dark Knight, at least as far as feature-length films released in theaters go.

Batman isn’t a villain, but from the beginning he was meant to be scary.
Batman’s dark side was considerably softened by the introduction of Robin in the 1940s and the lighthearted take on the character in the early 1950s — but the dark side eventually reasserted itself, most influentially in the 1980s in writer-artist Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novels, The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One.
Where previous movie Batmans were so bound in rubber and laytex that they were about as flexible as plastic action figures, Nolan and company took the trouble to give their caped crusader the mobility and physicality needed for his calling.

 Batman Begins Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes
Consensus: Brooding and dark, but also exciting and smart, Batman Begins is a film that understands the essence of one of the definitive superheroes.
Works splendidly because it dispenses with the idea that Batman's archenemies have to be quirky, colorful, superficial savants, àla the campy television series from the sixties.

A rousing, reverent, often brilliant re-creation of a seminal comics character, Batman Begins proves Batman is at home in the 21st century as he was in the 20th.
Of course, a Batman movie is nothing without a Bruce Wayne, and, by a mile, Bale is the best of a lot that has ranged from the square-jawed slapstick of Adam West to the more dedbonair stylings of Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney.
Batman Begins is a mature take on material often relegated to the kiddie file, and it's simply the latest proof that, when treated properly, comic books are a viable art form for all ages.

Batman Begins is a refutation, and there seems to be at least one a year, of the popular truism that great cinema has been ghettoized into the arthouse, that the most talented people on the planet see their talent somehow evaporate as soon as they're given the keys to Hollywood's executive washroom.

 Batman Begins (2005)
Far and away the best film in the Batman franchise, which has lain moribund since Schumacher nearly killed it with his campy approach to the tortured crime fighter, this whip-smart and exciting action-adventure yarn is popcorn filmmaking at its most inspired.
Evoking dread in Gotham City's criminal underworld, Batman makes swift work of Falcone and his goons, but an even greater threat looms in a mysterious, all-powerful villain, whose chief henchman is psychiatrist Dr. Crane (Cillian Murphy), a.k.a.
Thankfully free of the tongue-in-cheek excesses of Schumacher's two Batman films, Batman Begins also boasts what was keenly lacking from Tim Burton's Batman and its sequel, Batman Returns: a tightly plotted narrative that actually builds to a satisfying climax.
