In this episode we examine Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, the film that started a revolution of superhero movies and bringing them into a realistic world. In this episode we discuss the themes of finding your identity after a trauma, coping with survivor's guilt, and overcoming grief that are presented in the start of The Dark Knight Trilogy. We focus largely on Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne/ Batman, but also touch on Ra's al Ghul and Alfred Pennyworth. Listen in to our tenth episode to hear our thoughts on this tone setting classic!
