Batman Begins ***1/2

Bruce Wayne's coming of age story. Sort of. How Batman came to be. Certainly, this Batman movie has a story line and some decent character development. Sometimes funny, with some humanity thrown in, but mostly a fine rollercoaster ride. Entertainment, with a capital "E." We get to see Bruce inventing Batman and the learning curve involved with leaping between buildings. Sometimes it hurts.

Waiting for the sequel, which will include The Joker.
