It’s Neeson
Month
So, let’s
talk about Batman. Batman is my favourite DC character, in case the fact that
reviewed stuff with him in it more often than more-or-less anything isn’t a
clear indication. And I think the Dark Knight is the best live action Batman
movie. Combining all the elements I love about the character, reasonably
grounded with emotional gut-punches to boot. The Dark Knight Rises that came
after I also enjoy, in spite of its many flaws (plug) but today we’re going to
be talking about Batman Begins, the one I like the least of the 3.
Released in
2005, this movie was a critical success with an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,
though its profit was modest, I suspect possibly by fans reluctant to watch a reboot after the disaster that was Batman and Robin, the movie did make a modest
profit and paved the way for a series that grossed over $2bn overall
