Batman Begins

A gothic, dark scene of Gotham City indeed.

Awesome piece of movie, but, I'd still prefer Keaton as Batman (personal opinion, I guess.)

From training in the League of Shadows, to protector of Gotham by ridding it of the criminals. Nice clue-in to the initial movie which started it all, Batman, by having the introduction of the Joker.

And the new Batmobile (or BatTumbler?!) certainly rocks! The way the police tried to describe the Batmobile whilst chasing was entertaining, and surprisingly funny. Not to forget, the race-to-save-the-lady-in-the-Batmobile-whilst-her-life-is-on-the-balance certainly is cool. To top it off, we get to see the Batmobile 'fly' and the way Batman engages the weapon systems, it is certainly awesome (lying down position a la sniping position).

This movie also explores how Batman chose his path admist the darkness he finds himself him after the death of his parents. In a sense, this movie was great in the delivery, and better yet with the usage of the CGI.

One thing niggling me was the strange accent he had when he dons the Batsuit, it seemed different from normal Bruce Wayne. Probably he had a voice-changer to hide his true identity.

All in all, thumbs up, and kudos to this movie. Can't wait for the next one!
