I was lucky enough to rent a copy of Batman Begins from the local Blockbuster. And once again, the movie stands up, this after I have seen it multiple times at the movie theater.
I have an affection for Tim Burton's version but Christopher Nolan has done a masterful work in reimagining the Batman legend.
Bruce Wayne is the heart of this movie, and Nolan embraces all the dark, creepy mess of the Batman myth.
After all, anyone who dresses up as a bat clearly has issues. And Wayne has plenty of them, primarily being scared of bats and being angry over his parents' brutal death.
Batman, appropriately, is a good guy but scary as well.
The movie cuts too much during the fight scenes but incorporating the concept of the League of Shadows adds a bit of originality to a typical superhero movie.
Batman has gone a long way from the days of Adam West.
