Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Batman Begins
Watch as Batman preys against those who prey on the fearful, by becoming Batman to destroy evil. In this movie, Bruce Wayne starts out in a prison in another country from where he almost joins the League of Shadows, a group formed to supposedly destroy evil. Little does he know that he will later be fighting the very same men as they pour fear inducing respiratory hallucinogens into the water supply and then, using a microwave emitter, by vaporizing it, would cause the people of Gotham to destroy each other in fear.
--Ben Albright, Resident Scholar
