About a week ago while searching through the web I stumbled onto the Batman Begins screenplay that was leaked on the internet a little while ago. Now I've been thinking alot about whether or not I should give the name of a site with the script on it. I fear that Warner Brothers might notice and have it taken off the web. But after alot of thought I just have to find out what other fans of the genre think of the new Batman storyline.

So here is a link to the Batman Begins script in PDF format.

I would like this threat to be a discussion of the material in the script so please feel free to post spoilers. Heck, it's in the name of this thread. I want to know what people like about it and what they don't like about it. And what things they themselves would have personally added to the screenplay to make it better.

Come on, no takers. I thought by now at least a couple of people would have responded with their view of the script.

After reading that script, I now know this movie is going to kick-ass. It really is great that they have managed to get as far away from the sillyness of the Schumacher version of Batman movies.

David Goyer is a terrific screenwriter and Christopher Nolan is a magnificient director!

Anybody But Schumacher!


Anybody But Clooney!

I say this to you George Clooney....

Quite honestly I like this script better than any of the other Batman movies. This movie will give those with a limited knowledge of The Batman some insight into his psyche, what created The Batman, and what drives him.

That's exactly the same idea I came away with when I read the script!

A few months ago I read a script-review of Batman Begins. In the review, the reviewer mentioned how unlike all of the previous Batman movies, this movie will put more of a focus on Batman/Bruce Wayne.

The 1989 Batman film was virtually the story of the Joker. Batman Returns really starred Catwoman and the Penguin. In Batman Forever the Riddler and Two-Face stole the movie. And of course in Batman & Robin, Batman/George Clooney barely had any lines.

We are finally going to get a Batman film actually about The Batman. Therefore it will certainly get into his psyche. Not just pretend to like Batman Forever.

Thank you David Goyer and Christopher Nolan!

I think this is far better than any of the previous Batman. I didn't want to read too much, but almost couldn't quit reading it. It reads much more like the dark story it should be and not a goofy bunch of one liners for Michael K. and Jack N. I only saw the 1st & 2nd movie, and that was all I could bear. I really hope the film comes off as good it's script reads.

I'm also eager to see Killian Murphy in this as he's on my favorite list. (I love 28 Days later)

Yeah, 28 Days Later was a great movie and from what is in Goyer's Batman Begins script, the role of The Scarecrow is going to be a really intense role requiring a lot of talented acting. I know Murphy will be able to pull it off.

This is one of the best fing scripts I've ever read. Unfortunately, this isn't the shooting script, so there's no telling what changes were made. Hopefully, few.

Fantastic story, lots of action -- yep, this movie's gonna rock!
