Documentary On The Making Of Batman Begins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghp2h1mak8o

Can you believe it has been ten years since Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins was released. Nolan really took comic book films to a darker, grittier level that influenced everything that came after. Batman could be taken seriously once again. Superhero movies would never be the same.

This feature length documentary on the making of the movie was released online last year. It is an entertaining look at the movie that has tons of great stuff. Batman fans will learn about the movie’s production and it’s development on the way to the big screen. I personally love this stuff. You are bound to at least learn a few things you didn’t know about Batman Begins.
