So, as you can imagine, my adult self wanted authenticity when I headed over to the theatre last week. Please, I begged the movie industry, don’t release some imposter Batman movie that promises more than it delivers. Unfortunately, some have done that very thing . . . I really don’t even need to name the 90s cinematic culprits, do I?

As for Batman Begins (2005), I was skeptical. I expected to be disappointed again. But let me just say: Awesome! I loved it from start to finish. Christopher Nolan's movie explores the origins of the Batman legend. He includes all the important scenes: the death of Bruce’s parents, the discovery of the Bat Cave, the making of the Bat, and the introduction of Bruce Wayne as a rich playboy. He found a way to introduce new story lines, as well as all the modern technology, without losing any of the feel that comes from classic Batman. I was well into the story, when none other than Morgan Freeman emerges. Way to go Nolan! If you want to make your movie a real winner, choose Freeman for some part of the film. I can’t wait for the “boy wonder” to be introduced in part II and for the dynamic duo to hit the streets of Gotham together. One request: Keep Christian Bale as Batman! Do not even think about casting Tom Cruise to play opposite Katie, no matter how much he begs for it on Oprah!
