Batman Begins
Jun. 18th, 2005 11:01 amHusband and I went out to see Batman Begins last night. We'd heard it was a tremendous improvement on the franchise, especially after Joel Schumacher made such a pathetic wreck out of it.
After seeing it, I would definitely agree. The movie is loosely based on "Batman: Year One" and details how Batman got to be Batman. It details the fundamentals of the Dark Knight through exposition:
1. Bruce Wayne/Batman is driven by the death of his parents.
2. Batman is the greatest martial artist ever.
3. Batman does not kill.
Before I start talking about the movie:
You know you're an irrevocable science nerd when Lucius Fox is sitting at one of his instruments at Wayne Enterprises and you notice that 1. the instrument is a gas chromatograph with an autosampler 2. it's an old model, probably an Agilent because of the autosampler design, but might be an HP because of its age 3. the instrument details well that Lucius has been packed away in the back basement because if his department was worth anything, he wouldn't have a shitty old HP to work with.
