Batman Begins

              Bruce, while waiting, looks over into a crack, and sees something moving. He stays still, afraid of what could come out. All of a sudden, bats fly out, and in a terrified condition, swarm around Bruce, and fly out of the well.

             Bruce Wayne wakes up about 10 to 15 years later in a jail cell. Breakfast time.

 Now we continue...

            Bruce gets up and is released temporarily to get his grub of a breakfast. While waiting in the line, a punk comes up and challenges Bruce to fight. Bruce doesn't want any trouble, but he gets dragged into a fight that lasts about 3 minutes, give or take 2.

            He ends up fighting four, and beats the crap out of them until Japanese police come and drag Bruce away, saying that Bruce needs to be moved into solitary for protection. "I don't need protection!" yells Bruce at the officer. "Not for you," he says. He jerks his head towards the beaten up punks and says, "For them."

            When Bruce is thrown into the cell, this is where we meet Ra's al Ghul. Literally, his name translates, "The Head of the Demon," if you were interested. This man is played by Liam Neeson, and tells Bruce he can train him to channel his anger, and make it strength.

            For those of you who don't know the story of Bruce's tragic past, his parents were murdered when he was like 12, in front of him too. So now he's a billionaire orphan. All of these years, he has been angry. And now he wants to learn how to fight crime. In order to do so, he takes on a life of crime, to learn how the criminal mind ticks.

           It's worked so far, but now Ra's is offering to help. Out of the shadows of Bruce's anger when he's trained, comes a hero that Ra's al Ghul never imagined... BATMAN.

          So, I've skipped ahead a bit, but now Bruce returns to Gotham after being gone seven years. Alfred, his butler, has in the meantime, declared Bruce dead. But now Bruce's unsuspected return has brought a lot of commotion to Gotham, what with their most eligible bachelor coming back from the dead.

          Immediately following his return, Bruce begins his project of making his suit, and arming himself so he can take on crime as a symbol of fear to his challengers, and a symbol of hope to the ones he protects.

To be continued...
