Batman Begins (2005)

Drama! Foreshadowing! Symbolism! This took a very detailed, dramatic tearing apart of the Batman character. I personally never loved this entry because of the back and forth for the origin. This is the first DC movie that was taken seriously and it came out very well. This is a well-made movie, but it just didn't feel quite close enough to a superhero movie. It’s a solid entry and set DC on the right track after over a decade of subpar movies.
