Batman Begins review:
It’s summer, which means it is yet again time for a slew of comic-book-to-movie translations to saturate the movie theatres. We’ve got some of the new kids on the block, like Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider (the latter is late summer). Meanwhile, tried-and-true methods have been shown off in the latest installment of the Batman franchise. Batman Begins, which introduces Christopher Nolan’s vision of Gotham City as well as the Year One series of comics, has received rave reviews from everyone. Being considered as one of the best comic book translations ever, and an outright good movie without any basis of comparison, it seems to be damn near saddening that I have to sit here and tell you to not even look directly at its gaming counterpart on your local rental shelves. If you do, you are liable to catch dementia and severe fits of needing to gouge someone’s eyes out. Batman Begins, available for your favorite console, is the best Batman game to be committed to a virtual world, and frankly, that ain’t saying much.
