Chicago Sun-Times The movie doesn't simply supply Batman's beginnings in the tradition of a comic book origin story, but explores the tortured path that led Bruce Wayne from a parentless childhood to a friendless adult existence. The movie is not realistic, because how could it be, but it acts as if it is. Roger Ebert

San Francisco Chronicle "Batman Begins" does it right, and it's the first "Batman" movie to get it right since Tim Burton's "Batman," 16 years ago. Like the first "Batman" it has a dark spirit and an intellectually viable leading man -- Christian Bale, in this case. Mick LaSalle

Reelviews With Batman Begins, director Christopher Nolan has gone back to basics, jettisoning both the silliness of the TV incarnation and the gothic and fetishist elements of the '90s version. This is a hard-core, down-and-gritty origin story - the tale of, as one might reasonably expect, how Batman begins. James Berardinelli

Cinema Blend The Batman universe’s new entry, Batman Begins, misses being the definitive take on the character precisely because helmer Christopher Nolan is no action director. In spite of that, the movie works because he gets the Dark Knight in a way no one else yet has. Joshua Tyler
