Batman Begins, directed by the award-winning Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia), unveils the untold origins of the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham City. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham City and unveils his alter ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect, and an array of high-tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
As Bruce Wayne/Batman, Christian Bale heads an all-star cast that also includes Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer and Morgan Freeman. Visionary director Christopher Nolan has delivered the Batman we've been waiting for - a dark legend brought to life in a way never before imagined on the big screen.
This volume contains the complete screenplay of Batman Begins by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, together with storyboards for the picture drawn by Martin Asbury and James Cornish, and an exclusive interview with Christopher Nolan in which he reveals his cinematic vision of The Dark Knight.
You Are There....In The Shadows This impressive book placed the reader into the making of the outstanding film.
The complete screenplay by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer is worth the price of admission. Though there is not a need to have seen the movie in conjunction with reading the screenplay - or vice versa - it is a great way to compare the original vision with what was (could be) accomplished when more people had scissors - and the purse strings - to splice and dice.
The storyboards drawn for the picture - By Martin Asbury and James Cornish - adds a dynamic dimension. The interview with Nolan provides a special insider's view on his vision.
Even if a person is not a Batman fan, the front row look into the making of the film should be of interest to anyone who has even a mild interest in the sweat and (plenty of) tears that goes into the process.
Excellent Script I'm a screenwriter, and I bought this book because I wanted to see Nolan's revisions after Goyer had written the first draft. The script isn't formatted as neatly or aesthetically as the "Dark Knight" script (here it's in regular book format, TDK has it in sleek PDF) but it's still a solid script.
It has interviews (Goyer's is really short but Nolan's is substantial and informative) and artwork. The artwork is good if you wanna see how people in the industry do shot-by-shot scenes. Buy this book if you like reading scripts. Otherwise pass.
A Quality Product Without The Hype of High-Color Gloss Photos This is a legit, professional product. If you're purchasing this for either leisure or for study, you'll definitely be getting your money's worth. There's nothing wrong with those screenplays that they sell for a movie that is chock full of glossy, full-color photographs, but those publications change the layout of the script, which is another aspect of scriptwriting a student of that particular art needs to learn. The screenplay for "Batman Begins" has the complete script, a full storyboard collection, and interviews with the director and screenwriter of the film. Black and white. No frills. Professional. I highly recommend this product. You'll love it!

Don't even worry about rent'n it first, because if you like action, suspense, sweet special effects, and all that comes with a action movie, you might as well buy the dang thing!!! And you won't regret it!!! HIGHLY recommend this movie.
Go behind the Bat! I've always found it fascinating on how they make movies nowadays. I've taken film classes, but it wanted to see the scripts that they use. This is the complete screenplay to the movie " Batman Begins." You not only can read the linings, but you can see how they decided to put together these scenes through the storyboards. This is an excellent item for any movie buff, or any butting filmmaker. It will give you an idea on how to start writing a screenplay, and you can go behind the scenes in see how they put together this blockbuster.
