The beginning is a the traditional cliche of the inept
foreigner-- Bruce Wayne-- coming into contact with exotic
eastern culture and consciousness, and thereby learning how
to headbutt. The kind of set pieces with Liam Neeson that
are easily mocked, and should be, the film pulls it together
in Gotham with Batman building his cave and making his first
tentative forays into crime-fighting. Christian Bale (the
little boy in "Empire of the Sun"!) is good, and Caine is
always a delight. Oldman is excellent and so is Cilian
Murphy as Dr. Crane. Katie Holmes should have stayed homw
with Tom for this one.
