I have to say that when this "Batman Prequel" was released, no one would have thought that this would be the beginning of a great series. This is an uncommon sequel in the Hollywood film industry that is more successful than the first episode. As the beginning of a classic series, this work is not bad, just because of the comparison of the landmark "Dark Knight" after it, it seems slightly less dazzling. But if this movie is mentioned, it is quite remarkable.
First of all, this film tells a complete story, and jumps out of the old superhero movie’s inherent evil haunts, heroes stand up, and save the world. The director began to explore the inner world of a superhero, and began to ask himself about the birth of a superhero and In the process of growing up, the hero's heart also has turmoil, setbacks, and powerless things. The director strives to present a hero's transformation, and to a certain extent this also contributes to the plot development of the latter two movies. Laid some groundwork. Unfortunately, perhaps due to space limitations, the plot of Wayne's training at the beginning of the film is a bit rushed, and I always feel that some things that should be said are not fully explained, and some are too simple.
The second is the scene and atmosphere. This work not only retains the gloomy and dark temperament of previous Batman movies, but also gives full play to the advantages of American blockbusters, especially in the final Battle of Naihe Island, where the entire island is steamed. Shrouded in water vapor, an apocalyptic atmosphere appeared in front of the audience.
In fact, the Batman series, especially Nolan’s prequel trilogy, always has a certain unique temperament. On the one hand, this temperament comes from this somewhat ugly superhero-Batman, and on the other hand, it comes from The villains in the film, such as the master ninja in this episode, the unforgettable clown in the second episode and Bain in the third episode. They never appeared to possess, not to seize, nor to conquer and rule. They appeared to destroy, destroying Gotham City, which seemed to have fallen forever. Both creation and destruction carried the light of divinity, and destruction gave them a certain divinity, just like God destroying the city of Sodom, becoming another kind of salvation. When confronting such an enemy, what kind of human light does Batman have to show to be able to match it? Rescue, confrontation, rescue, the tension of dramatic contradictions is fully revealed here, and one of the reasons that give the entire series its unique charm is also found here.
