Not only was Batman Begins a huge success, but it spawned 2008’s follow-up The Dark Knight, a comic book movie that is still held up as the perfect example of the sheer potential of the genre.
Debuting in 2005, Batman Begins harkens back to some of the more grounded interpretations of the character while maintaining just enough ridiculousness in order to remind audiences that this is still a comic book movie.
Batman Begins stars Christian Bale as The Dark Knight alongside Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman.
With the movie having now reached its 15th birthday, fans are looking back fondly on Batman Begins, and are praising the movie’s many accomplishments.
