Batman Begins is the story of a Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), who as a child watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of his eyes at the hands of a crazed criminal.  Obsessed with revenge, his chance is cruelly taken away from him by fate.  As an adult, he travels the world seeking a means to fight injustice.  Bruce finds himself in the Far East living amongst the boroughs of criminals and thieves.  Eventually he meets a mysterious figure and is trained in the martial arts by Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) and Ra’s Al Ghul (Ken Watanabe), both members of the mysterious League of Shadows.

When Ducard reveals the League’s true purpose — the complete destruction of Gotham City — Bruce returns to Gotham intent on cleaning up the city without resorting to murder.  With the help of Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine), his loyal butler, and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), a tech expert at Wayne Enterprises, Batman is born.  Bruce has always been afraid of bats and dons the new persona to strike fear into the hearts of criminals and the corrupt.  As Batman takes on the criminals and the organized crime underworld of Gotham, a sinister new underbelly of the city is exposed and a new class of criminal is born.
