Batman swoops into blue ray dvds
Batman Begins works splendidly because it dispenses with the idea that Batman’s archenemies have to be quirky, colorful, superficial savants, ala the campy television series from the sixties. In the blue ray dvds, Nolan has created a dark, realistic and believable hero who fights personal demons like the rest of us. Burton’s fantasy was fun but Nolan’s is better. This is a gritty and smart personal drama more than an action film. And it is what a Batman film always should have been.
