RBR #120: "Batman Begins: The Dark Knight Before It Was Cool"
Manage episode 485389096 series 2895005
Bruce Wayne has everything: money, abs, and a crippling fear of bats. Naturally, he copes by burning down monasteries and punching crime in the face.
In this installment of our series on the films of Christopher Nolan, we revisit Batman Begins, the moody reboot that asked: What if we make an existential Batman movie? We get into daddy issues, weaponized fear, and the real villain of Gotham—urban planning. Also: yes, Christian Bale's voice gets gravelly real fast.
Welcome to Gotham: where the rich cosplay justice and somehow that’s the best-case scenario.
