Batman Begins

The usual superhero line adds a villain per movie, and a sidekick every other. As with the last Batman series, eventually they decay to inane. When they retooled one that I still remembered I chose to pass. Now, with the buzz of the second in the new line, of course I had to grab this first.

I think the film starts weakly. Who is this mythical group of fighters, already set up and skilled, who solely want to help him? Machine of the gods is how Batman begins? Anyway, it mostly gets better. If only he could fix that cheesy growl. I'm expecting the improvements to continue into the next film.
