The birth of Batman

Compared with the previous ones, Nolan's Batman has a lot of gloomy atmosphere, and even the main tone is dim.
Young Bruce Wayne suffered from bat phobia because he fell into the cave. When he saw the bat in the theater performance, he strongly requested to leave the venue early, causing his parents to be shot and killed by the robbery tramp. Since then, Wayne vowed to fight crime, even going deep into prison. I met the ninja master of the Kagemusha League and learned all-in-one fighting skills. After returning to the sin city of Gotham City, he used his identity as a billionaire and used money and high technology to build himself into the evil nemesis-Batman. Finally thwarted the master ninja's conspiracy to use the sewers to spread poisonous gas.
This is a superhero movie with far more emotional drama than action. The main action scene is that Wayne learns ninjutsu and burns the lair of the master ninja. Fighting against gangs and escaping from the police on Naihe Island, by the way, the batmobile that can be invisible and rampage is really cool. In the final battle, there was more atmosphere than action. The ninja master was knocked down with three punches and two kicks, and then the train fell off the track.
Various high-tech equipment such as memory cloak, super body armor, etc. explained the roots of Batman's power. Although the director wants to show that the reason why the hero is strong comes from his own heart and responsibility, but I think that without these high-tech and money foundations, Batman is just a mortal who can fight, and I don’t know how many times he hangs up after all. Superpower is just a living target.
The gloomy Gotham City, although its surface is glamorous, is actually full of decay and decline. The little boss scarecrow and the big boss ninja master are just to accomplish their so-called mission of justice. Although they have failed, they are not heinous.
Fortunately, there is no plot to abuse the master, otherwise this kind of hero movie with not enough popular scenes will be really dull.

Batman Begins quotes

  • Henri Ducard: You are stronger than your father.

    Bruce Wayne: You didn't know my father.

    Henri Ducard: But I know the rage that drives you.

  • Rachel Dawes: The DA couldn't understand why Judge Faden insisted on making the hearing public. Falcone paid him off to get Chill out in the open.

    Bruce Wayne: Maybe I should be thanking them.

    Rachel Dawes: You don't mean that.

    Bruce Wayne: What if I do Rachel? My parents deserved justice.

    Rachel Dawes: You're not talking about justice. You're talking about revenge.

    Bruce Wayne: Sometimes they're the same.

    Rachel Dawes: No, they're never the same, Bruce. Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better. Which is why we have an impartial system.

    Bruce Wayne: Your system is broken.

    Rachel Dawes: [Rachel makes a sharp turn] You care about justice? Look beyond your own pain, Bruce. This city is rotting. People talk about the depression as if its history, and it's not. Things are worse than ever down here. Falcone floods our streets with crime and drugs, preying on the desperate, creating new Joe Chills every day. Falcone not have killed your parents Bruce, but he's destroying everything they stood for.

    [She parks in front of a building]

    Rachel Dawes: You wanna thank him for that, here you go. We all know where to find him, but as long as he keeps the bad people rich and the good people scared no one will touch him. Good people like your parents who will stand against injustice, they're gone. What chance does Gotham have when the good people do nothing?

    Bruce Wayne: I'm not one of your good people, Rachel.

    Rachel Dawes: What do you mean?

    Bruce Wayne: All these years I wanted to kill him.

    [reveals his gun]

    Bruce Wayne: Now I can't.

    Rachel Dawes: [Rachel slaps him twice] Your father would be ashamed of you.
