FILM
Sharpen your mind 'cause you're going to need it. Peter Keough says, "Anyone expecting from Batman Begins a lazy immersion in spectacle, thrills, and faux "terror" will be disappointed. Those looking for a thoughtful, poetic fable about what's most frightening in our lives today may not be fully satisfied either, but this is the movie for them."
Douglas Wolk looks at Batman and his portrayal throughout the years.
