The Story Of Batman Begins
Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan explores the origins of the legendary Dark Knight. After his parents' murders, disillusioned heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice. With the help of his trusted butler Alfred (Michael Caine), detective Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and his ally Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), Wayne returns to Gotham City and unleashes his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and high-tech weaponry to fight evil. (Story taken from Back cover sleeve)
How Does It Look And Sound?
The Video : Batman Begins is in the follow Video Codec: VC-1, Video Resolution : 1080p the picture looks very good clean and clear picture quality. Personally I think the detail of this disc looks great.
The Audio : Batman Begins is recorded in the following surround sound format. Dolby TrueHD 5.1 at 16-bit, 48 kHz. I am a little disappointed in the soundtrack for Batman Begins. It does not pack a punch. The vocal center channel is good. But when it comes to the front and rear speakers. It's lacking. Even the sub woofer action isn't that good. If Warner Brothers re-releases Batman Begins I hope they do a better job with the audio.

Movie Quotes From Batman Begins
Ra's Al Ghul: You cannot lead these men unless you are prepared to do what is necessary to defeat evil.
Lucius Fox:Oh, yeah. Helped him build his train. Ah, here we are. Kevlar utility harness. Gas-powered magnetic grapple gun. The three hundred and fifty pound test monofilament. Wonderful project, your dad's train. Routed it right into Wayne Tower along with the water and power utilities. Kind of made Wayne Tower the unofficial centre of Gotham City. Of course, Earle let it go to rot. Here we are. Nomex survival suit for advanced infantry. Kevlar biweave, reinforced joints.
Carmine Falcone:No gun? I'm insulted! You could have just sent a thank-you note.
Ra's al Ghul: Well, well. You took my advice about theatricality a bit... literally.
IBruce Wayne: will go back to Gotham and I will fight men like this, but I will not become an executioner.
Henri Ducard: Bruce, please! For your own sake. There is no turning back.
Enormous Prisoner You are in hell, little man!
Enormous Prisoner: And I am the devil!
Bruce Wayne: You're not the devil. You're practice.
Carmine Falcone: What the hell are you?
Batman: I'm Batman!
Henri Ducard: Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time?
Alfred Pennyworth Quite so, sir. And you can borrow the Rolls if you like. Just bring it back with a full tank.
Alfred Pennyworth: When you told me your grand plan for saving Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white coats was when you said that it wasn't about thrill-seeking.
