It's just that previously, I, like most young men, thought all of this Batman stuff was worthy of respect, when in reality the reasonable stance to take is more like: what a fun jaunt! And such a nice lesson on how actions speak louder than words.īecause, let me remind you: Batman Begins is a movie wherein Liam Neeson's evil plan (sorry for the spoiler) is to drag a microwave across all of Gotham City, nuking the water supply that he's spiked with fear gas. Can't tell the difference? Sorry-inflection is hard in a text-based medium. Today, I love Batman Begins because it takes Batman seriously, has ninjas, and that's badass.
Thirteen years ago, I loved Batman Begins because it "took Batman seriously" and "had ninjas" and was "badass," and I mean those things sincerely. It's time to get with the 2018 hotness: Batman Begins rules because it is goofy as hell. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, it stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman in. I would encourage you to do this, not because you haven't seen it before, or because it's important, or dark-gritty-something-something-Christopher-Nolan. Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan and written by Nolan and David S.
Today, you can stream Batman Begins on Netflix for the first time since the last time you could stream Batman Begins on Netflix.
