Trimming The Movie Fat

“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” – Batman

Summary

Like Lazarus from the flames, the Dark Knight returned in glorious style with Christopher's Nolan's 'Batman Begins' (2005); a film very worthy of discussion.

Podcast hosts Stephen and Paul critique the movie, sharing that they enjoyed the more serious take on the Batman character, the focus on the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman, and highlighting the excellent cast. They also share their own experiences of seeing the movie back in 2005 and what it was like to watch the movie in 4DX last year.

Overall, they both enjoy the movie with Stephen rating it as one of his favourite films of all time.

“Why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” – Thomas Wayne Chapters
