In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. With the help of his trusted butler Alfred, detective Jim Gordon and his ally Lucius Fox, Wayne returns to Gotham City and unleashes his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
Not knowing the story of how Bruce Wayne became Batman, this was an interesting film. I liked the fact that Batman was just a regular guy who had extensive ninja training and access to the family fortune to be able to fight crime. Although a stretch from reality, it's much more believable than other super heroes who became super by some supernatural cause or exposure to chemicals. It was a very dark movie, both literally and figuratively. Christian Bale did a great job playing the emotionally injured Bruce Wayne who became Batman with a chip on his shoulder. It was good to see a "comic book" movie that was deep in plot and emotion. Oh, and I've got to get one of those Batmobiles - sweet ride!
