How does one man change the world?
It’s a question that haunts Bruce Wayne (CHRISTIAN BALE) like the specter of
his parents, gunned down before his eyes in the streets of Gotham on a night
that changed his life forever.
Tormented by guilt and anger, battling the demons that feed his desire for
revenge and his need to honor his parents’ altruistic legacy, the
disillusioned industrial heir vanishes from Gotham and secretly travels the
world, seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who
prey on the fearful.
In his quest to educate himself in the ways of the criminal mind, Bruce is
mentored by a mysterious man called Ducard (LIAM NEESON) in the mastery of
the physical and mental disciplines that will empower him to fight the evil
he has vowed to destroy. He soon finds himself the target of recruiting
efforts by the League of Shadows, a powerful, subversive vigilante group
headed by enigmatic leader Ra’s al Ghul (KEN WATANABE).
Bruce returns to Gotham to find the city devoured by rampant crime and
corruption. Wayne Enterprises, his family’s former bastion of philanthropic
business ideals, now rests in the hands of CEO Richard Earle (RUTGER HAUER),
a man more concerned with taking the company public than serving the public
good.
Meanwhile, Bruce’s close childhood friend Rachel Dawes (KATIE HOLMES), now
an Assistant District Attorney, can’t secure a conviction of the city’s most
notorious criminals because the justice system has been so deeply polluted
by scum like crime boss Carmine Falcone (TOM WILKINSON). It doesn’t help
that prominent Gotham psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Crane (CILLIAN MURPHY)
bolsters insanity defenses for Falcone’s thugs in exchange for nefarious
favors that serve his own devious agenda.
With the help of his trusted butler Alfred (MICHAEL CAINE), detective Jim
Gordon (GARY OLDMAN) -- one of the few good cops on the Gotham police force
-- and Lucius Fox (MORGAN FREEMAN), his ally at the Wayne Enterprises’
Applied Sciences division, Bruce Wayne unleashes his awe-inspiring
alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses strength, intellect and an
array of high tech weaponry to fight the sinister forces that threaten to
destroy the city.
