DG89: Batman Begins [Movie Review]

Finally we get to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. After eight years away from cinema screens, and multiple stalled attempts at relaunching the franchise, Warner Bros knocked the Bat out of the park with the best film so far and arguably the most compelling and mature adaptation of Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego.

With me for this super-serious analysis are Joshua Garrity of Cane and Rinse, Neil Taylor of GameBurst and KDS 2.0 and from Gonzo Planet; Sharon Shaw, Jerome McIntosh, Paul Gibson and a new voice for this series, Aquila Edwards.

Many aspects are discussed and deconstructed including Christian Bale’s intense portrayal, ace cinematographer Wally Pfister’s erotic endeavours and why Hollywood on paper is a senile, avaricious old psychopath.

At the end there is a rather important announcement about the imminent release of my most ambitious project to date, Batman: Breakdown.
