Batman Begins

Batman Begins is a 2005 film that rebooted the Batman franchise, directed by Christopher Nolan.

It depicts Bruce Wayne's origin story—his parents' murder, his training with the League of Shadows, and his emergence as Gotham's vigilante.

The title emphasizes this is a beginning: I rewatched Batman Begins before the sequel.

The film launched the influential Dark Knight trilogy.
