Impact
Batman Begins has been cited as one of the most influential films of the 2000s. On the film s 10th anniversary, Forbes published an article describing its lasting influence: Reboot became part of our modern vocabulary, and superhero origin stories became increasingly en vogue for the genre. The phrase dark and gritty likewise joined the cinematic lexicon, influencing our perception of different approaches to storytelling not only in the comic book film genre but in all sorts of other genres as well. In 2020, Empire magazine named it as one of The 100 Greatest Movies Of The 21st Century .
Shawn Adler of MTV stated Batman Begins heralded a trend of darker genre films, that either retold back-stories or rebooted them altogether. Examples he cited were Casino Royale, as well as the in-development RoboCop, Red Sonja, and Grayskull. In 2012, Kevin Feige, film producer and president of Marvel Studios, stated, Chris Nolan s Batman is the greatest thing that happened because it bolstered everything. Filmmakers, screenwriters and producers who have mentioned Batman Begins or The Dark Knight Trilogy to describe their projects include:
- Jon Favreau (Iron Man)
- Edward Norton (The Incredible Hulk)
- McG (Terminator Salvation)
- Alan Taylor (Terminator Genisys)
- Damon Lindelof (Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness)
- Robert Downey, Jr. (Sherlock Holmes)
- Lorenzo di Bonaventura (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra)
- Hugh Jackman (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)
- Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class)
- Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes)
- Sam Mendes (Skyfall)
- Alex Kurtzman (Van Helsing)
- Gareth Edwards (Godzilla)
- Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man)
- David Ayer (Suicide Squad)
- Bryan Cranston (Power Rangers)
- Adam Wingard (Death Note)
- Patty Jenkins and Matthew Jensen (Wonder Woman)
- James Mangold (Logan)
- Simon Kinberg (Dark Phoenix)
- Andrew Kosove (Blade Runner 2049)
- Todd Phillips (Joker)
- Cathy Yan (Birds of Prey)
Themes
Comic book writer and author Danny Fingeroth argues that a strong theme in the film is Bruce s search for a father figure, saying is the good father that Bruce comes to depend on. Bruce s real father died before they could establish an adult relationship, and Liam Neeson s Ducard is stern and demanding, didactic and challenging, but not a father figure with any sympathy. If Bruce is anyone s son, he is Alfred s. Freeman s Lucius is cool and imperturbable, another steady anchor in Bruce s life. Blogger Mark Fisher states that Bruce s search for justice requires him to learn from a proper father figure, with Thomas Wayne and Ra s al Ghul being the two counterpoints. Alfred provides a maternal figure of unconditional love, despite the overall lack of focus on a mother figure in Bruce

Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan and written by Nolan and David S. Goyer. The film is based on the DC Comics character Batman, it stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman in supporting roles. The film reboots the Batman film series, telling the origin story of Bruce Wayne from the death of his parents to his journey to become Batman and his fight to stop Ra s al Ghul and the Scarecrow from plunging Gotham City into chaos.
After Batman & Robin was panned by critics and underperformed at the box office, Warner Bros. Pictures cancelled future Batman films, including Joel Schumacher s planned Batman Unchained. Between 1998 and 2003, several filmmakers collaborated with Warner Bros. in attempting to reboot the franchise. After the studio rejected a Batman origin story reboot Joss Whedon pitched in December 2002, Warner Bros. hired Nolan in January 2003 to direct a new film as Nolan and Goyer began development on the film in early 2003. Aiming for a darker, more realistic tone compared to the previous films, a primary goal for their vision was to engage the audience s emotional investment in both the Batman and Bruce Wayne identities of the lead character. The film, which was principally shot in the United Kingdom, Iceland and Chicago, relied heavily on traditional stunts and miniature effects, with computer-generated imagery being used in a minimal capacity compared to other action films. Comic book storylines such as The Man Who Falls, Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween served as inspiration.
Expectations for Batman Begins ranged from moderate to low, which originated from the poor reception of Batman & Robin that was credited with stalling the Batman film series in 1997. After premiering in Tokyo on May 31, 2005, the film was released on June 15, 2005. It received positive reviews from critics, who deemed the film an improvement over the Schumacher films. Critics praise for the tone, Bale s performance, action sequences, score, direction, and the emotional weight compared to previous Batman films, but criticism was directed at lack of screen time for the villains, the hand to hand combat scenes, and Holmes performance as Rachel Dawes. The film grossed over $371.9 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2005 and was the second highest grossing Batman film at the time behind Tim Burton s Batman (1989). Receiving a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the film evaluated Bale to leading man status while it made Nolan a high-profile director.
Since its release, Batman Begins has been critically reassessed and it has been considered to be one of the best superhero films ever made, one of the best Batman films ever made, and has often been cited as one of the most influential films of the 2000s. It was credited for revitalizing the Batman character in popular culture, shifting its tone towards a darker and more serious tone and style. The film helped popularized the term reboot in Hollywood, inspiring studios and filmmakers to revived franchises with realistic and serious tones. It was followed by The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), with the three films constituting The Dark Knight Trilogy.
