The Hollywood Reporter
For Christopher Nolan to turn Batman Begins into such a smart, gritty, brooding, visceral experience is astonishing. Truly, Batman does begin again.

Empire
Significantly grittier than previous Bat-beginnings, this finds new things to do with, and say about, a character who's been around since 1938.

Of course, a Batman movie is nothing without a Bruce Wayne, and, by a mile, Bale is the best of a lot that has ranged from the square-jawed slapstick of Adam West to the more dedbonair stylings of Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney.

Rolling Stone
The buildup is steadily engrossing. That's because Nolan keeps the emphasis on character, not gadgets. Gotham looks lived in, not art-directed.

In Batman Begins, Christian Bale gives us the best Bruce Wayne that has ever graced the screen.
