Storyline of Batman Begins.
Batman Begins movie’s core strength is its movie, there is no surprise that Christopher Nolan wrote this story with David S. Goyer, a famous Novelist, and Comic Boo writer.
Balance between Good and Evil.
Story of the Batman Begin’s story revolves around Bruce Wayne’s Character.
Bruce Wayne is the only son of his parents, his father was one of the richest people in the city of Gotham.
The movie shows Bruce is suffering from a problem, he has a fear of bats because he was attacked by bats.
Bruce is now a school kid and he was attending Bruce becomes frightened by performers masquerading as bats and asks to leave.
Because Bruce and his parents leave Opera in between, there is no other guy outside of theatre, Outside, mugger Joe Chill murders Bruce’s parents in front of him. The orphaned Bruce is raised by the family butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
This is the turning point of Bruce’s life, throughout his life, Bruce thinks that it was his fear of bats that forced him to leave the show with his parents, and due to that fact that they left the show in between, mugger took the advantage of the situation and kills the parents. So now Bruce thinks that he was the responsible person behind the death of his family.
Now Bruce has to go through infinite loneliness, and throughout his life, he has to live with a feeling of guilt.
So Batan’s Life is sad, fourteen years have passed now and Bruce is a young guy now, we come to know that the killer of his parents remained in jail for these many years, and now he is getting paroled after testifying against the mafia boss Carmine Falcone, it means killer whose name is Chll, is doing something good, but he was the responsible person for Bruce’s sad life, right? Now Bruce has made a plan to kill him. Before he can kill the Chill, Carmine’s gang kills the Chill.
Rachel Dawes, the character played by Katie Holmes, is a childhood friend of Bruce and a Reporter.
We must understand that the City of Gotham has been destroyed by the Mafia and Gangwars, there are very few people like Rachel who are fighting against the mafia.
Bruce admits before Rachel that he wanted to kill Chill, after hearing this Rachel scolds Bruce.
This entire scene teaches us the importance of the justice system, Rachel’s action tells us that we must keep our grief aside and should always honor the justice system.
This incident had a permanent impact on Bruce and Batman as we know that both never killed any person.
In this blog, we went through a few of the incidents that set the background for Batman’s Character and its psychology and philosophy of Batman.
In part 2 we will continue in Batman’s journey, thanks.
