Tim Burton's Batman movies were dark Victorian novels. Joel Schumacher's were kitschy Wagnerian operas. Directed and co-written by Memento's Christopher Nolan, Batman Begins is a Shakespearean play--a somber story of loss, fear, trauma and vengeance, filtered through a shell-shocked, shut-down hero who, like Hamlet or Prince Hal in Shakespeare's Henry plays, wants a father figure but can't trust himself to know who's the right one. [Liam Neeson]'s Henri Ducard functions like [Bruce Wayne]'s psychoanalyst, and early scenes play like a new kind of Freudian violence therapy. "Your parents' death was not your fault," intones Ducard, between kicks and chops. "It was your father's. Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act. Christian Bale's muffled, monotone performance d...

Batman Begins at last penetrates to the dark and troubled depths of the Batman legend, creating a superhero who, if not plausible, is at least persuasive as a man driven to dress like a bat and become a vigilante. The movie doesn't simply supply Batman's beginnings in the tradition of a comic-book origin story; it explores the tortured path that led Bruce Wayne from a parentless childhood to a friendless adult existence. The movie is not realistic, because how could it be, but it acts as though it is.

The Dark Knight returns with a vengeance in Batman Begins. One of Hollywood's most lucrative comic-book film franchises rises from the ashes after an eight-year absence with a darker, more serious take on the Caped Crusader, who was all but vanquished by Joel Schumacher's campy, late-1990s adaptations. Drawing inspiration from Frank Miller's graphic novel, Batman: Year One, and the similarly styled Batman: The Long Halloween, the fantasy action-thriller devises an elaborate back story for the legendary character, a superhero without super powers, that emphasizes the man beneath the mask.
