Batman Begins (2005) - “Living for the Batman” Series

Back in 2005, writer/director Chris Nolan brought us back to Gotham City and more importantly….to the Batman.  He took the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman in a completely different direction from previous films (the last one being Batman & Robin in ’97) by starting fresh at the beginning.  And what results is one of the most interesting and influential origin stories ever told. Oscar-winner Christian Bale stars as the titular hero alongside Oscar-winner Michael Caine, Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson, Oscar-winner Gary Oldman, Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman, Oscar-nominee Tom Wilkinson, Cillian Murphy, Rutger Hauer, and…..Katie Holmes...So yes it’s a STACKED cast with some unique choices as we delve into Batman’s famous rogues' gallery as he takes on Scarecrow AND Ras Al Gul.  This episode completes our "Living for the Batman" Series before the release of the newest  Batman movie (The Batman) comes out in a few weeks.  Host: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/#livingforthecinema #moviereviews #livingforthebatmanseries #ChristopherNolan #GothamCity #ChristianBale #GaryOldman #MorganFreeman #LiamNeeson #MichaelCaine  #TomWIlkinson #CillianMurphy #RutgerHauer #KatieHolmes #RasAlGul #Scarecrow #BatmanBegins #JamesNewtonHoward #HansZimmer #brucewayneSend us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
