038 Christopher Nolan: Batman Begins (2005)

It's time for BATMAN! While we've covered Batman-related films on this podcast network before (and again, and again), this is the first time that we've gotten a Batman film proper, and it delivers. Batman Begins is an absolute masterpiece of a film (Sound familiar? This Christopher Nolan guy seems pretty good at making movies) and marks one of the best superhero origin stories of all-time. It's also fun as heck. As we discuss in the episode, this movie feels like the perfect alchemy of a bunch of separate visions all coalescing in a beautiful way (as they all rebel against where Batman Forever and Batman & Robin left us).
