Plot
As a child, Bruce Wayne fell into a dry well and was attacked by a bunch of bats, which later developed the phobia of the creatures. While watching the opera with his parents, Thomas and Martha, Bruce was scared by a player who disguised as a bat and asked to leave. Outside, the robbers Joe Chill murdered Bruce's parents in front of him. Orphaned, Bruce was raised by family head, Alfred Pennyworth.
Fourteen years later, Chill was released in return to testify against Gotham City mob boss Carmine Falcone. Bruce intends to kill Chill, but one of Falcone's killers does it first. Bruce's childhood friend, Assistant District Attorney Rachel Dawes, cursed him for trying to undermine the judicial system, saying that his father would feel ashamed. Bruce confronts Falcone, who tells him that real power comes from fear. Bruce decides to travel the world and learn how to deal with injustice. While serving a prison term for theft in Bhutan, he meets Henri Ducard, who trains him as a Shadow League member, led by Ra's al Ghul. After completing his training and clearing his fears, Bruce knows that the League intends to destroy Gotham, believes it to be corrupt, decadent, hypocritical, and unsavory. Bruce rejects the cause of the League and sets fire to their temple during his escape. Ra's was killed by the falling flakes, while Bruce rescued the unconscious Ducard.
Bruce returns to Gotham with the intention of fighting evil. Inspired by his childhood fears, he takes on the identity of his own vigil "Batman" and sets up a base in the caves beneath Wayne Manor. He is interested in his family company, Wayne Enterprises, now run by the immoral William Earle. Company archivist Lucius Fox allowed Bruce access to prototype defense technology, including the bodysuit shield and heavyweight armored car, the Tumbler. Bruce posed as a superficial playboy to dispel suspicion.
Batman intercepted drug delivery, gave Rachel evidence against Falcone, and enlists James Gordon, one of the few honest policemen remaining in Gotham, to arrest him. At the jail, Falcone meets Dr. Jonathan Crane, a corrupt psychologist who he helped smuggle drugs into Gotham, and threatened to disclose his involvement if he did not declare him mentally unfit for trial. Crane wore a scarecrow mask and sprayed Falcone with a hallucinogenic substance that triggered a crazy fear (which caused Falcone to constantly say the word "Scarecrow"), and told him to be transferred to Arkham Asylum. While investigating "Scarecrow", Batman is exposed to hallucinogens and left paralyzed. He was saved by Alfred and was given the antidote developed by Fox. When Rachel accuses Crane of corruption, Crane reveals that she has poured her fear antidote into Gotham's water supply. She medicine Rachel with it, but Batman rescues and subdues Crane, who claims to work for Ra's al Ghul. Batman dodged the police to make Rachel safe, organize her antidote, and give her vials for Gordon and the others for mass production. Ducard reappears at Bruce's birthday party and reveals himself as the real Ra's al Ghul. After stealing a powerful microwave emitter from Wayne Enterprises, he plans to evaporate Gotham's water supply, making Crane drugs in the air and causing mass hysteria that will destroy the city. He makes Wayne Manor burn and leaves Bruce to die, but Alfred rescues him.
Ra's loads a microwave transmitter to the Gotham monorail system, intending to release the drug as the train goes to the city's water source. Batman rescues Rachel from an anesthetized mass and indirectly reveals her identity to him. He chases Ra to the monorail and fights with him like Gordon uses the Tumbler gun to destroy part of the track. Batman refuses to kill Ra, but also chooses not to rescue her, slid off the train and leaves Ra on the ship when it crashes and explodes, killing her.

Jack Gleeson, who previously starred in Bale in 2002's Reign of Fire and later found fame for his role as Joffrey Baratheon in the Game of Thrones HBO series, emerged as a young admirer of Batman who was later rescued by him from Ra's al-Ghul's men; Gleeson was instrumental in Bale's recommendations.

Production
Development
In January 2003, Warner Bros. hired director Christopher Nolan to direct the movie Batman, and David S. Goyer signed to write the script two months later. Nolan declared his intention to rediscover the film franchise Batman by "performing the story of the origin of the character, which is a story that has never been told before". Nolan said that humanity and realism would be the basis of the original film, and that "the Batman world is a grounded reality. [It] will be a recognizable contemporary reality, a magnificent heroic figure." Goyer says that the goal of the film is to make the audience care about Batman and Bruce Wayne. Nolan feels his previous films are an exercise in style rather than a drama, and describes his inspiration as Richard Donner's 1978 Superman movie, in his focus on describing character growth. Also similar to Superman, Nolan wants an all-star supporting cast for Batman Begins to lend a more epic feel and credibility to the story.
Nolan's personal "jump from the point" of inspiration is "The Man Who Falls", a short story by Denny O'Neil and Dick Giordano about Bruce's journey around the world. The early scene in Batman Begins from young Bruce Wayne who fell into the well adapted from "The Man Who Falls". Batman: The Long Halloween, written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Tim Sale, influenced Goyer in writing the scenario, with Carmine Falcone's villain as one of many elements taken from Halloween i> ' s "serious and serious approach". The authors were considered to have Harvey Dent in the film, but replaced it with Rachel Dawes's new character when they realized they "could not do it justice". The character was later described by Aaron Eckhart in the 2008 sequel The Dark Knight . The sequel to Halloween , Batman: Dark Victory , also acts as a minor influence. Goyer uses the void of Bruce Wayne's multi-year absence presented at Batman: Year One to help organize some movie events in the years to come. In addition, the film Sergeant James Gordon is based on his comic book incarnation as seen in First Year . The authors of Batman Begins also use Frank Miller's plot device Year One, which is about the corrupt police forces that led to the needs of Gordon and Gotham City for Batman.
The general idea in comics is that Bruce saw Zorro's movie with his parents before they were killed. Nolan explained that by ignoring the idea - which he claimed was not found in Batman's first appearance - it emphasized the importance of bat to Bruce and became a super hero is a completely original idea on his part. For this reason Nolan believes that other DC characters do not exist in the movie's universe; if not, Wayne's reason for taking costumed vigilantism would be very different.
Filming
Like all the films, Nolan rejected the second unit; he does this to keep his vision consistent. Filming began in March 2004 on the VatnajÃÆ'¶kull glacier in Iceland (standing in Bhutan). The crew built a village and a front door to the Ra temple, as well as roads to access remote areas. Weather is problematic, with 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) of wind, rain, and lack of snow. The cinematographer shot Wally Pfister planned to use the crane to be equipped with a handheld camera.
In search of inspiration from Superman and other blockbuster films from the late 1970s and early 1980s, Nolan based most of its production in Britain, in particular Shepperton Studios. A set of Batcave was built there and measured along 250 feet (76 m) wide, 120 feet (37 m) wide, and 40 feet (12 m) high. Production designer Nathan Crowley installed twelve pumps to create a waterfall with 12,000 gallons of imperial (55,000 l; 14,000 gal US), and built rocks using the original cave molds. In January 2004, a hangar airship at Cardington, Bedfordshire was rented by Warner Bros.. during April 2004 and, transformed into a 900-foot (270 m) sound stage, where the slum districts of "The Narrows" and legs of the monorail were filmed.
Mentmore Towers was chosen from twenty different locations for Wayne Manor, because Nolan and Crowley liked the white floor, which gave the impression of a manor as a warning to Wayne's parents. The building chosen to represent Arkham Asylum is the National Institute of Medical Research at Mill Hill, northwest London, England. St Pancras train station and the Abbey Mills Pump Station are used for Arkham interior. University College London is used for courtrooms. Several scenes, including the Tumbler pursuit, were filmed in Chicago at locations such as Lower Wacker Drive and 35 East Wacker. Authorities agreed to raise the Franklin Street Bridge to a scene where access to the Narrows was closed.
Apart from the darkness of the movie, Nolan wants to make this movie interesting for a wide range of ages. "Not the youngest child obviously, I think what we have done might be a bit intense for them but I definitely do not want to exclude the kind of kids aged ten to 12 years, because as a child I would love to have seen a movie like this." Because of this, no bloody or bloody filmed.
Design
Nolan used the science fiction film 1982 Blade Runner as a source of inspiration for Batman Begins . He filters Blade Runner into Pfister and the other two to show the attitude and style he wants to draw from the movie. Nolan describes the film world as "an interesting lesson on exploring and describing a credible universe that seems to have no boundaries", a lesson he applied to Batman Begins production.
Nolan works with production designer Nathan Crowley to create a Gotham City look. Crowley builds a model city that fills Nolan's garage. Crowley and Nolan design it as a large modern metropolitan area that will reflect the various architectural periods that the city has crossed. Elements taken from New York City, Chicago, and Tokyo; the last one for the highway and the high monorail. The Narrows are based on the slums of the now-destroyed city of Kowloon in Hong Kong.
Tumbler
Crowley started the process of designing a Tumbler for a film with a bashing model. Crowley uses the P-38 Lightning nose cone to be used as the chassis for the Tumbler turbine engine. Six Tumbler models were built for a 1:12 scale within four months. After the creation of the scale model, the crew of more than 30 people, including Crowley and engineers Chris Culvert and Annie Smith, carved a full size Tumbler replica out of a large block of Styrofoam in two months.
The styrofoam model is used to make "test frame" steel, which must stand for some standards: has a speed of over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), up from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km)/h) in 5 second, has a steering system to make sharp turns in city corners, and hold self-propelled launches up to 30 feet (9.1 m). In the first jump test, the front end of the Tumbler collapses and must be completely rebuilt. The newly designed Tumbler base configuration includes a 5.7 liter Chevy V8 engine, truck axles for rear axles, a front tire by Hoosier (which is actually a dirty racing tire used on the rear right of an open wheel sprint car), 4 rear 44/18.5- 16.5 TSL Interco Super Swamper (width 44 "high, 18.5", mounted on 16.5 "wheels and suspension system of Baja racing truck The design and development process takes nine months and costs several million dollars.
With a complete design process, four road racing cars are ready to be built, with each vehicle having 65 panels and a $ 250,000 cost to build. Two of the four cars are special versions. One version is a flap version, which has a hydraulics and cover to detail the close-range shot in which the vehicle propels itself through the air. The other version is the jet version, where the actual jet engine is mounted to the vehicle, propelled by six propane tanks. The visibility inside the vehicle is bad, so the monitor is connected to the camera in the vehicle body. Professional drivers for Tumblers practice driving a car for six months before they drive through the streets of Chicago for a movie scene.
The inside of the Tumbler is a set of motionless studios and not really the interior of a street-enabled Tumbler. The cockpit is large to fit the camera for scenes that are filmed in Tumbler's interior. In addition, another version of Tumbler is a miniature model that scales 1: 6 from the actual Tumbler. This miniature model has an electric motor and is used to show the Tumbler that flies across a ravine and between buildings. However, the actual Tumbler is used for the order of waterfalls.
Batsuit
The filmmakers intend to create a very mobile Batsuit that will allow the wearer to move easily to fight and squat. The previous film incarnation of Batsuit has been rigid and mainly restricts full head movement. Costume designer Lindy Hemming and her crew work in Batsuit at an FX workshop codenamed "Cape Town", a secure compound located at Shepperton Studios in London. The basic design of Batsuit is a neoprene underwear, which is formed by attaching the latex parts of the printed cream. Christian Bale was formed and carved before his physical training so the team can work on full body players. To avoid imperfections taken by sculpting the clay, plastiline is used to smooth the surface. In addition, the team made a mixture of different foams to find the most flexible, light, durable, and black mixture. The latter poses a problem, because the process of making black foam reduces foam resistance.
For the robe, director Christopher Nolan wants to have "a flowing robe... that blows and flows like in many great graphic novels". The Hemming team created the mantle out of their own version of a nylon parachute that has an electrostatic cluster, a process shared with the team by the British Ministry of Defense. This process is used by the London police to minimize night vision detection. The hood was covered by a cowl, designed by Nolan, Hemming, and the costume inspector of Graham Churchyard. The veil was made thin enough to allow movement but thick enough to avoid wrinkles when Bale turned in Batsuit. Churchyard explains that cowl has been designed to show "a man who has anxiety", so his character will be revealed through the mask.
Fight choreography
Batman Beginning's battle choreographer, Justo Dieguez and Andy Norman, trained actors and acrobats using the Keysi Fight Method, which in itself gained fame after being used in the movie and its sequel, The Dark Knight >; However, the method was modified in The Dark Knight Rises due to Batman's age and physical condition and to match Bane's fighting style. This method is a self-defense system whose training is based on the study and planting of natural instincts.
Special effects
For Batman Begins , Nolan prefers traditional stuntwork rather than computer-generated imagery. The scale model is used to represent Nar's and Ra's Ghul temples. Nevertheless, there are some shots that are composite CG images, such as the Gotham skyline, exterior shots of Wayne Tower, and some exterior monorail photos. The climactic monorail sequence mixes live action footage, model work, and CGI. Bats depicted in fully digital movies (except in images containing only one or two bats), because it was decided that directing a large number of real bats would cause problems; dead bats scanned to create digital models. Locations and sets are digitally reproduced so that flying bats will not seem excessive after being put into a finished movie.
Music
Scores for Batman Begins were compiled by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. Nolan originally invited Zimmer to write music, and Zimmer asked Nolan if he could invite Howard to write as well, because they always planned collaboration. Both of these composers collaborated on separate themes for the "multiple personalities" of Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman. Zimmer and Howard began writing in Los Angeles and moved to London where they stayed for twelve weeks to complete most of their writing. Zimmer and Howard are looking for inspiration to form a score by visiting the Batman Begins set.
Zimmer wants to avoid writing music that has been done in earlier Batman movies, so his score becomes a merger of orchestra and electronic music. The orchestra consisting of ninety pieces of this film was developed from members of various London orchestras, and Zimmer chose to use more than the usual number of cellos. Zimmer enrolled a soprano singer to help reflect on some of the movie scenes where Bruce Wayne's tragic memories were involved. "He sings a pretty good song and then he's stuck, like freezing, holding back the progress," says Zimmer. He also tries to add the human dimension to Batman, whose behavior will usually be seen as "psychotic", through music. Both composers collaborated to make music for 2 hours and 20 minutes for the movie, with Zimmer composing the action sequence and Howard focusing on dramatic scenes.

Critical reception

The critical consensus of this site reads, "Dreamy and dark but also interesting and intelligent, Batman Begins > is a film that understands the essence of one of the definitive superheroes. " At Metacritic, which provides a weighted average rating assessment, the film received an average score of 70 out of 100, based on 41 critics, demonstrating a "favorable overview". In CinemaScore, viewers give this movie an average rating of "A" on a scale of A to F.
James Berardinelli applauds Nolan and Goyer's work in creating a deeper understanding of "who [Batman] is and what motivates him", something Berardinelli says is not owned by Tim Burton; at the same time, Berardinelli feels the romantic aspect between Bale and Holmes is unsuccessful because the actors do not have chemistry Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder ( Superman ), or Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst ( Spider-Man ) share in their respective roles. According to Total Film, Nolan succeeds in creating such powerful characters and stories so that the third order of action can not be compared to the "splash of two talking people", and the romantic subplot Katie Holmes and Christian Bale have a "refreshingly free splash from Peter Parker/Mary Jane-style whining ".
Kenneth Turan, who feels the film is slowly starting, states that "story, psychology and reality, not special effects", helps the darkness behind the Batman arsenal ; He notes that Neeson and Holmes, unlike Bale's ability to "feel his role in his bones," does not seem to fit their individual characters in "becoming a comic book archetype and real people". The New Yorker ' s David Denby does not share Berardinelli and Turan's opinions. He was not impressed with the film, when comparing it with two Tim Burton movies, and that Christian Bale's presence was hindered by "the boring sincerity of the scenario", the final climax was "cheap and uninteresting", and that Nolan had been forced to imitate "pretense" used by other filmmakers while recording action scenes.
Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune believes Nolan and Goyer managed to "comfortably combine the tortured drama and the motive of revenge with light jokes and comic book insinuations," and that Nolan took the series from "slam-" bang Hollywood jokefests "The franchise has drifted in. The author of comic book and editor Dennis O'Neil stated that he" feels the filmmakers really understand the characters they translate ", citing this movie as the best of Batman live-action movie In contrast, JR Jones, of the Chicago Reader, criticized the manuscript, and Nolan and David Goyer for not living up to the "hype about exploring Batman's corrupted soul." Roger Ebert, who provides mixed reviews to and claiming in his review for Batman Returns that he does not believe noir works in superhero movies, writing this is "the Batman Batman I've been waiting for; more precisely, this is a movie I'm not aware of I'm waiting for. "Giving four of the four stars, he praised the realistic depictions of Batman's Batman, Batcave, Tumbler, and Batsignal-and focused on" stories and characters "with less pressure on "high tech action" ".
Like Mike Berardinelli, Mike Clark thinks Bale is playing Batman as he does Patrick Bateman at American Psycho, but that's the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes "are very underdeveloped". Kyle Smith thought Bale was showing off "both the threat and the brilliance he showed in his brilliant turn at American Psycho," and that the film worked so well because of realism, stating, "Batman began stripping every layer of evil Gotham only to find a more sinister and more terrible crime under it, his rancid city simultaneously summoned the early 90s of New York, when criminals played with five murders in a single day; Serpico New York, when the police are sold, and today, when psychopaths are trying to kill us all at once rather than one after another. "In contrast, Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com feels Nolan does not convey the expected emotional depth of" one of the most sensual and tortured super heroes of all"; he thought Bale, unlike Michael Keaton that he compared to him, failed to connect with the audience under the mask, but Gary Oldman managed "emotional complexity" in which the rest of the film failed.
Movie director Tim Burton - who has directed the 1989 Batman film - feels Nolan "captures the true spirit that these movies should have today.I did it Batman twenty years ago, in 1988 or something, it's a different time in a comic book movie.You can not get into the dark side of the comic.A few years past have become accepted and Nolan is surely more to the root of what Batman the comic is about. "
Themes
The author of the comic book and author Danny Fingeroth argues that the strong theme in this film is Bruce's quest for father figure, saying "[Alfred] is a good father that Bruce came to rely on. Bruce's father died before they could build adult relationships, and Ducard Liam Neeson is hard and demanding, didactic and challenging, but not a figure of father with any sympathy If Bruce is anyone's son, he is Alfred. [Morgan] Lucius Freeman is cool and unshakeable, anchor remains in Bruce's life. Mark Fisher stated that Bruce's quest for justice required him to learn from the right father figure, with Thomas Wayne and Ra's al Ghul being two-sided. Alfred gives the unconditional love mother figure, despite the lack of focus on the figure of the mother in Bruce's life.
Fingeroth also argues that the main theme in the film is fear, which supports Bruce Wayne's story of being a hero. Director Christopher Nolan stated that the idea behind the film was "someone who will confront his deepest fears and then try to be that". Fingeroth refers to the portrayal of the film as "a man with fear - but who rises above it". The theme of fear is further personified by the Scarecrow. This film illustrates how fear can affect all beings regardless of their strength. The reason for fear is seen all over, from the conquest of Bruce from Satan, to being Batman, to the Scarecrow and the deadly fear poison. The horrific and distorted images displayed in the hallucinations induced by the Scarecrows also expose the idea of ​​terror to extremes.
Critics Brian Orndorf considers Batman Begins fierce and demonstrative in the parent, giving the film an abundance of gravity and energy. This is far from the lighter fare of the 1997 Batman movie Joel Schumacher, Batman & amp; Robin , which contains one-line camps throughout. The theme of fear is intensified with the help of musical scores by Zimmer and Howard, who are also "distancing traditional heroic themes". In contrast to previous Batman movies, the psychological investigation of Bruce Wayne's double personality in bat suits was only slightly offensive. Orndorf notes that Bruce is "a character who always tries to do the right thing, not tired by constant reexamination".
