Beyond that, Batman Begins is quite simply a pitch perfect adaptation of Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One story arc, and arguably the most faithful depiction of the Caped Crusader himself within the entire trilogy.
Christopher Nolan’s work on Batman Begins didn’t just change the superhero genre; it forever altered the course of action films in general.
For the first time ever on the silver screen, Batman truly became a dark, terrifying creature of the night who could do battle with legions of criminals from the shadows.
The first entry in the beloved Dark Knight trilogy set the standard for dark, gritty, and realistic depiction of traditionally flamboyant characters like Batman, and bled into other franchises like James Bond and Spider-Man.
