Batman Begins: This is not your fathers Batmobile!

Posted by:

This movie as many of you probably know is being kept under wraps and finding any kind of solid info is very hard.. I've filtered through all the rumours and crap to see what I could come up with.. The result is not much.

I know that filming is now taking place in Chicago, New York, and in the UK.. They have also just recently cut a trailer for the film. Right now the debate is whether to tag it onto the wildly popular Spiderman 2 film or Catwoman.. All sources point to Catwoman and I would have to agree.. Spiderman 2 is being released by Sony and is a Marvel character..

Catwoman actually being a DC character with background tied to Batman makes it the more logical choice. Now recently in NY they showcased the Batmobile I just happened to score a really nice photo of the Batmobile compared to the car from the old TV series..

When it comes to the synopisis well I went and got the official synopsis from Warner Bros...

Director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia) and screenwriter David S. Goyer (the Blade trilogy) join forces for another action-packed chapter of the Batman saga!

As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of him--a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parent's deaths is cruelly taken away from him by fate.

Fleeing to the East, where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited.

The discovery of a cave under his mansion, along with a prototype armored suit, leads him to assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong; he becomes Batman!!!

In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone, the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right.
