Detailed item info

Movie description
Genius of mystery and intrigue Christopher Nolan (MEMENTO, FOLLOWING, INSOMNIA) helms this prequel to the Batman films based on the DC Comics series, explaining how Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale)--the billionaire prince of Gotham whose parents were killed in an alleyway mugging--transformed into the crime-fighting superhero. With flashbacks to his privileged childhood, young Master Wayne, as he is called by the butler Alfred (Michael Caine), develops a terrible fear of bats when he falls through the backyard garden into a hidden cave. As a young adult, Wayne lives among the League of Shadows, a martial arts group in the mountains of Asia. His leaders Ra's al Ghul (Ken Watanabe) and Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) teach him strength, endurance, and--unfortunately--evil, against which he naturally rebels. Returning to Gotham and reinstating himself as a dapper socialite and the rightful heir to his parents' enterprise, Wayne quickly devises his secret identity, commanding help from the gadgetry expert Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman). With one eye on his childhood playmate Rachel (Katie Holmes)--now a beautiful woman and dedicated lawyer--and the other on his mission to save Gotham from criminal corruption, Batman makes his fledgling debut. But when the blue-blooded mastermind Dr. Crane (Cillian Murphy)--who steals every scene with chilling menace--taints the water system with a hallucinatory substance, Batman realizes he has met his first true opponent. An attitude of grave seriousness elevates BATMAN BEGINS above more cartoony Batman movies, as Nolan crafts a dark drama that thrives on sci-fi intrigue. Bale strides into the role with grace, adding refinement that is seldom seen in action-oriented films. And while the action scenes explode with high-tech glitz and fast-moving thrills, they are evenly placed among sequences of plot and character development, making for a complex and satisfying viewing experience.

Editorial reviews
"[A] triumph -- a confidently original, engrossing interpretation, with a seriously thought-through aesthetic point of view..." Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (06/24/2005) "[T]his tense, effective iteration of Bob Kane's original comic book owes its power and pleasures to a director who takes his material seriously and to a star who shoulders that seriousness with ease." New York Times - Manohla Dargis (06/15/2005) "Christian Bale makes the best Bruce Wayne/Batman since Warner Bros. revived the franchise in 1989." USA Today - Mike Clark (06/17/2005) "[I]t's the flair of the set pieces that really impresses....The film delivers a pleasingly robust sense of spectacle....It is a welcome new beginning." Sight and Sound - Edward Lawrenson (08/01/2005) "This intimate, brooding resurrection brings the Caped Crusader back to life by sending him back to his roots." Uncut - Chris Roberts (08/01/2005) 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Lined with wry humor, the film addresses questions of corporate greed..." Rolling Stone - Peter Relic (11/03/2005) "[B]rooding, carefully crafted, and comparatively low-tech....Mr. Bale brings true gravity and pathos to the task at hand." Film Comment - Kent Jones (11/01/2005) Ranked #7 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "Nolan's vision of Gotham is a hellhole straight out of Hieronymus Bosch." Uncut - Uncut Staff (01/01/2006) Ranked #4 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "Gotham looks lived in, not art-directed, and Bale creates a hero of haunted fire." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (12/01/2005) 4 stars out of 5 -- "Nolan's Year One reinvention of the franchise is largely about ambiance and mood....A more sober study in psychology..." Ultimate DVD - Richard Houldsworth (08/01/2007)

BY BIDDING ON THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SO PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE BIDDING:

PRODUCTS

All of my dvds are used unless specified as new which means still wrapped like in the store but does not necessarily include the cardboard sleeve if it originally came with one. All dvds come in a case with the original cover art unless specified otherwise. My dvds are not copies, bootlegs, asian imports etc. They are all the real deal. A very small selection were rentals. The case and cover art are sold as-is but I will NEVER send you a broken case. When I rate the dvd as "like new, very good, good and acceptable", I am always referring to ONLY the dvd, NOT the case.

SHIPPING CHARGES

Shipping includes more than just the postage. It includes my supplies (dvds, printer paper, printer ink, labels, envelopes, boxes, etc.). It also includes daily trips to the post office, gas etc. so there is NO SHIPPING DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES FOR U.S. BUYERS!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH MY SHIPPING CHARGES OR REFUND POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS OR ANY OTHER ITEM I HAVE LISTED.

Please DO NOT send payment until everything you have bid on has ended.

PAYMENT & DELIVERY INFORMATION

I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL !!

I make it a point to ship within 3 business days after I receive your payment, except of course weekends and holidays. Payments must be received within 7 days after your final auction win. If not received within 7 days after your final win, and other arrangements have not been made, I have the option to void the sale to cover the cost or file a dispute against you with ebay which will count as a strike against your account. If you are bidding on multiple dvds, payment is due within 7 days from the date of the LAST item you won and I realize that your bids may stretch out over several days. This is not a problem.

RETURN POLICY

I am committed to the satisfaction of my customers and try to provide the highest level of service and excellence. My used dvds are cleaned and tested if necessary for functionality prior to shipment and I guarantee that they play as if new. If upon receipt, you find that the dvd does not play properly, it is your responsibility to contact me within 48 hours of receiving it per the delivery/tracking confirmation. Otherwise, my return policy expires and I cannot accept the dvd back. It is your responsibility to ship back the dvd within 3 days after receipt, providing me with the tracking number at the time of mailing. It doesn't have to be received within 3 days, just get it in the mail within 3 days. Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility. Once I receive the dvd a refund will be issued immediately via PayPal for the purchase price/winning bid of the dvd only.  Purchase price does not include what you paid for shipping.

I DO NOT accept returns for the new dvds since they are brand new.

I DO accept returns for used dvds and ONLY if it does not play properly. Cover art and cases are sold as-is and I will not accept returns if you do not like the condition of the case, but I do guarantee that I will NEVER send you a broken case - and broken means that it will not have cracks or will not close. In other words, the case doesn't work. A sticker on it or writing on it or something similar DOES NOT qualify as broken and I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE OF BUYER'S REMORSE.

INSURANCE

APPARENTLY EBAY IS REMOVING THE INSURANCE OPTION AS OF 9/22/09 (WEIRD) SO INSURANCE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE AN OPTION UNLESS I AUTOMATICALLY ADD IT TO THE HANDLING FEE. SINCE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE INSURANCE, I AM NOT ADDING THAT EXTRA CHARGE TO THE COST AND I AM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO STATE THAT IF YOU WANT IT TO LET ME KNOW. SO... THERE IS NO LONGER AN INSURANCE OPTION BUT I WILL PACKAGE AND SHIP YOUR ITEMS AS SAFELY AS I CAN !!

TRACKING & DELIVERY CONFIRMATION

I will provide buyers with the tracking number when I create the shipping label. All items are shipped with delivery confirmation. Also, if you are not aware of this, you can go to View Order Details for the item you won and can find the tracking number there.

FEEDBACK

I only leave feedback first when I am the buyer. Due to the new feedback policies, many buyers are using feedback extortion to try to get an item free or for some other annoying reason. Therefore, it is because of these bad ebayers that I refuse to leave it first. I will however, leave positive feedback for you the same day it is left for me.
