WARNING: If you haven't seen this movie avoid the spoilers! You've been warned!
Filming began in March 2004, where they had to film the whole Batman film in Chicago. The whole budget went up to about $150 million dollars, and it really did blow up the box office with about $374,218,673. It released in the U.S. on June 17, 2005. So let's dive in. It was based on Bob Kane's comic book origin of Batman, and the story was put on the big screen by Nolan and David S. Goyer.
The movie starts out with Bruce Wayne in Iceland, after he was reminiscing on what happened when his parents were murdered.
Now we see why Bruce was gone for so long.
Now, we look back at the movie where we see Bruce being trained by Ra's Al Ghul at his training dojo for the League of Shadows in Iceland.
Bruce Wayne returns back to Gotham, taking interest in Wayne Enterprises where he starts to work on the technology known as the Tumbler, and a protective bodysuit. He provides information to Rachel a childhood friend, about Falcone who is shipping drugs in the shipyard. Dr. Jonathan Crane takes Falcone and his henchmen to Arkham Asylum. Jonathan Crane drives Falcone insane with his Scarecrow mask.
The League of Shadows and Ra's Al Ghul start to unleash fear toxin all across Gotham, after Bruce celebrated his birthday at Wayne Manor. Batman confronts Ra's Al Ghul on a train, while James Gordon destroys the elevated tracks on the Gotham train. Batman escapes the train, leaving Ra's to die in the crash.
Batman loses Rachel, and buys a controlling stake in Wayne Enterprises. Also, replacing one of his mean employers with Fox. Gordon mentions a criminal who leaves Joker playing cards and, Batman disappears into the night.
Overall: 8/10
It was a pretty solid movie for Christian Bale's beginning as Batman, and he tried to portray as playboy Bruce Wayne and Batman even with a very hilarious deep voice. Cillian Murphy did a good job as Scarecrow, Liam did a solid job as Ra's Al Ghul, also Gary Oldman.. may I say more?
That's about it, I did my best but it was still a good movie. Great job, Nolan.
