Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story 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. But are there forces even more sinister at hand? Cowritten by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi Batman at Amazon.com

 Adventure September 8, 2008
A truly great movie! It has everything! Suspense, drama, action and a good story line. This version of the Batman certainly resurrected the franchise from the doldrums. The DVD is excellent with a lot of extras.
Best Batman to Begin with on Blu Ray! September 8, 2008
Great Movie! Best on Hi-Def 1080p
Blu-ray quality was no dissapointment,
watching Batman Begins feels like returning
to the big screen cinemas but only with better and sharper
video quality. Uncompressed audio came in too as a blessing in disguise.
Prologue to the "The Dark Knight" is definitely an added bonus feature
to view it first in High-Def before the sequel reaches on Blu-Ray too.
A must to be added in any collection.:)
 fall short of my expectations September 7, 2008
I'm looking forward to see the visual quality the same like as "Casino Royal". But, this film has fallen short of my expectations. The qulity of visual is so little bit better than DVD. But,"Dark Night" trailer would be help soothe my nerves. This trailer has a very shrpness and excellent visual side. So, I look forward to wait the release of "Dark Night".
Anyway, This film has a ordinary sound, visual and so on.
If you would be a crazy BATMAN fan, you must be purchase this title. But, If you were not, I would not recommand to buy this disc.

Incredible film, above average blu-ray September 5, 2008
Batman Begins is an all time favorite of mine and one I wanted to have on blu-ray. The transfer is excellent. At 1080p at 73" (Mitsubishi 2008 DLP) the picuture is stunning. No macroblocking in fast scenes (like in the DVD release). Audio sounds amazing in 7.1.
However the extras are a bit slim.
