Batman: Batman Begins
built 637 days ago
Batman Begins The visuals in Batman Begins are very effective, and they really throw around some great Gotham atmosphere. It's of course dark during just about every mission, even though there are usually impressive bloom effects with the lighting combined with some detailed environments. Batman himself has been modeled and animated fairly well, even if some of his climbing animations look hilariously bad. The faces all resemble the movie's original actors well, and they're voiced by the film's cast. This aspect of the game was put together beautifully, even if it turns out that the meat of the game - the action - just doesn't stick out as anything unique or even really engaging.

batman-busted.jpg The rumors swirling around Comic-Con last week that Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker in The Dark Knight, the Batman Begins sequel, were confirmed today by THR. The choice is sure to send ripples of controversy throughout the highly factious fanboy community, who'll debate endlessly whether or not the role should have been awarded to an actor most famous for starring in Brokeback Mountain. Their concern wouldn't be that he'd make the supervillain too effete, mind you, but rather that the guy who played Ennis del Mar wasn't capable of going nearly gay enough with the role: Requiring a face full of makeup, a Manic Panic Green Envy dye-job, and the need to punctuate every statement with a round of ear-piercing shriek-laughter, the Joker is one part that requires an actor to really embrace his inner drag queen. more

Batman is back! With a new look and a return to the dark style without the neon colors (or the Jim Carrey), Bruce Wayne returns in a new prequel that shows how Batman was born. Batman Begins is both a big summer blockbuster movie and a console game that attempts to boil down the fun of the movie onto your controller. Sadly, the game doesn't nearly live up to the flick.

The Dark Knight The follow-up to the action hit “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who once again embodies the man behind the mask. “The Dark Knight” takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime…until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace-Batman’s most personal and vicious enemy yet-he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.

The Batcave is Batman's secret headquarters, consisting of a series of subterranean caves beneath his residence, Wayne Manor. It serves as his command centre for both local and global surveillance, as well as housing his vehicles and equipment for his war on crime. It features the Bat Computer, which is powerful to the extent that in Batman & Robin, Alfred Pennyworth is able to program his brain algorithms into the system. It ... is a storeroom for Batman's memorabilia. The Batcave is considered one of the most advanced centers of intelligence and technology in the world. In both the comic Batman: Shadow of the Bat issue #45, and the 2005 film Batman Begins, the cave is said to have been part of the Underground Railroad.
