highly recommended

"Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding."

This is absolutely the best Batman portrayal outside of the source material, and surely one of the top three or four superhero films ever made.

Despite some significant revisions to the character's universe, the film gets the most important aspects right. Done properly, Batman is Dirty Harry, a film noir detective, a ninja, James Bond, a captain of industry, and Dracula combined into one terrifying figure. "Batman Begins" comes as close as anything I've seen to fulfilling that vision.

"The Dark Knight" is great Joker movie. This is a great Batman movie.

The Dark Night Comes into the Light

The blue ray format does a great job of making you notice things of movie shot with the really dark sequences the dark Knight is a great example. This movie was great in a regular DVD but Blu-ray makes everything clear. You notice things that you didn't notice, and for some reason it makes you pay attention to all the vibrant colors. I highly recommend any movie in Blu-ray, and I can't wait for the Batman movie. That is currently in theaters now to come to Blu-ray

Good Movie, Weak Extra's

Movie is great, video quality is good. But Warner has a tendency to skimp on the audio, and extra's (no deleted scene's, just the Dark Knight preview).

Thats bat-tastic!!!!

This is a review for the Blu-ray version. As it was stated by many reviews already, you know this is a darker more brooding Batman than any of the previous films. Christian Bale is perfectly cast as the Dark Knight and is easily the best Batman there has been. Liam Neeson (Ducard) is excellent as the sensei/villian, and Katie Holmes (Rachel Dawes) brings her "girl next door" charm as the love interest. Cillian Murphy is frightfully creepy as the Scarecrow/Dr Johnathan Crane. The Blu-ray version of this movie is definatly the way to go. Unsurpassed picture quality and superb audio make this the definative version to own, it makes a great movie even better.

Awesome way to view a great movie

After purchasing my HD DVD player, Batman Begins was the first movie on my list to buy. I've seen the movie in the theater and had it on regular DVD. It's become one of my favorites. But watching it on HD DVD was better than expected. The clarity of the picture was outstanding. This movie was on TV in HD right after I bought the HD DVD version and it could not compare to picture quality of the HD DVD. If you own a HD DVD player and like this movie, getting the HD DVD version is the best way to see it.

Warner Brothers Batman Begins - HD-DVD
The origins of the CapedCrusader of Gotham City are finally brought to the big screen in this new adaptation of the perennially popular comic-book series. The young Bruce Wayne (Gus Lewis) leads a privileged life as the sonof wealthy, philanthropist parents, both of whom stress their commitment to improving the lives of the citizens of crime-ridden Gotham City. After his mother and father are murdered by a mugger, however, Wayne grows into an impudent young man (Christian Bale), full of rage and bent on retribution until encouraged by his childhood sweetheart, Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes), to search for answers beyond his own personal vendettas. Wayne eventually finds discipline in the Far East under the tutelage of Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), a member of the mysterious League of Shadows who guides him in the study of martial arts -- and the ways in which an ordinary man can hone his senses to an almost superhuman acuity. After seven years away from Gotham, Wayne returns, determined to bring peace and safetyback to the city. With the help of his faithful manservant, Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine), and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), a scientist at his late father's corporation, Wayne develops a secret identity as Batman, a masked fighter for justice. But when a shady psychiatrist (Cillian Murphy) joins forces with the criminal underworld, Wayne realizes that putting an end to their nefarious plans will be very difficult indeed. Batman Begins also features Gary Oldman as Lt. James Gordon and Tom Wilkinson as the crime boss Carmine Falcone.
