Batman Begins


The bat rises like a depressed phoenix in this gloomy resurrection of a previously kitschy saga.  Deep voiced Bateman, Caine’s Alfred, and Freeman’s Q provide performance highlights, while bad guys are bit underwhelming.  Phenomenal rendition of origin story overshadows weaker second act.  Clever twist, but not so clever realism-evaporating device.
