Batman Begins (2005)

This was my favorite superhero movie yet! The movie is wonderfully paced and very well written. It is a bit darker than previous movies in the franchise and the story shows far more depth. We get a ton of back story on Bruce Wayne and what motivates and drives him to become the caped crusader. Christian Bale is fantastic as Batman and they do a great job showing the importance of his relationship with James Gordon, one of his few allies in the fight against the corruption that has overtaken Gotham City. The costume and effects are knock your socks-off good and the ending was immensely satisfying. I love the new Batmobile which is a high tech tank. This is a must see. I am turning on the Bat-signal and giving this one 5 of 5.
