BOF AT THE BATMAN BEGINS PRESS JUNKET
ROTTEN TOMATOES BATMAN BEGINS
BEGINS is an origin tale which will depict the rise of The Batman as a force for good in Gotham City. You find out why and how Bruce Wayne became The Dark Knight. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/The Batman, BATMAN BEGINS IS the long-awaited "definitive" Batman film that fans have demanded.
FROM JETT'S REVIEW:
Director Christopher Nolan and screenwriter David S. Goyer join forces for another action-packed chapter of the Batman saga! As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of him--a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parent's deaths is cruelly taken away from him by fate. Fleeing to the East, where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited. The discovery of a cave under his mansion, along with a prototype armored suit, leads him to assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong; he becomes Batman!!! In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone, the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right.
