Batman Begins

Even when I was young, I was never really into Batman. Somehow, I just kept ignoring his 'existence'. It was only by chance that I downloaded (well!) this movie (in HD :) ) that I got to know Batman (and later as it turned out I ended up buying his comics and posters and what not).

You are never too old for superheroes. In fact, I believe a man (or a woman if she's really into jobs and stuff) needs a superhero more as he (she) grows older.

Batman Begins, as a movie, is a perfect balance of style, emotions, grandeur, technology and well! fiction. Christian Bale as Batman is neither too chocolaty as Spiderman is, nor is he as superhero-ishly blank as Superman. He is as authentic as Bruce Wayne as he is as The Batman, and for the 'where-is-the-logic-in-this' kinds his super-acts are all technically correct ( you can be sure of that with Christopher Nolan anyway, discounting The Inception).

Bruce Wayne as a reckless Billionaire never loses his ground against the powerful and big Batman. More than any other superhero movie. Batman Begins needed a good actor and Christian Bale does more than justice to both his roles. He is equally good as the reckless billionaire buying hotels (and setting new rules for the pool area) as he is as the convincing guardian keeper of Gotham. Nolan's Gotham must be a delight to watch for any Batman fan.

The background score keeps you yearning for more. So much so that sometimes you wish it picked up on the tempo a bit but it never does. However, you have to be a double PhD in music to question Hans Zimmer and company.

Christopher Nolan with his favorite crew delivers one of the best superhero movies that I have seen.
