Batman Begins:
The big movie - "The Dark Knight" - wouldn't have existed if "Batman Begins" didn't help pave the way. The movie kept the focus on Bruce Wayne's menacing change into something rudimentary, something that can keep The Narrows at bay, profit from Chris Nolan's exceptional perception on the material.Treating Batman like a genuine person made him a bigger threat and for the first time he looked threatening, scary and menacing on screen. Proof? Watch the "Swear to me!!!" scene.
Preparing this Batman in a very real, very determined and coarse world raises the bet that were formerly hinged on quip-happy baddies and too-busy schemes. Nolan's boldness when it comes to rupturing time and cross-cutting involving a range of end games strengthens his movie's thesis of fear, and gives us a comic book movie that demands being called a "film."
