Batman Begins 8.4 2005 0 185,586 votes The story of how Bruce Wayne became what he was destined to be: Batman. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story of the Caped Crusader anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. While it doesn't have the razzle dazzle of Spider-Man 2, Batman Begins was certainly the best Bat-film since Tim Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. 140 min Rated PG-13 for intense action violence, disturbing images and some thematic elements. tt0372784 Action / Adventure / Crime / Thriller Bob Kane / David S.
