Batman Begins (2005)

Directed by Christopher Nolan, this movie delves into the origins of Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Christian Bale, as he transforms into the caped crusader of Gotham City. With a stellar supporting cast including Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, and Liam Neeson as Ra's al Ghul, the story unfolds as Batman battles to protect his city from the League of Shadows.

If you're eager to experience the immersive soundscape of "Batman Begins," you can play and download the captivating soundtrack here.

A little bit of opera goes a long way. Right, Bruce?
A man who can offer you a path.
A microwave emitter like the one Wayne Enterprises just misplaced.
A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification.
A wraith.
About us.
About what? You don't know anything.
Actually, it was Mr. Earle. He's taking the company public.
Actually, sir, I was thinking of myself.
Actually, there were seven of them.
Afterburner disengaged.
Air One to ground, block that ramp.
Alfred still keeps the condensed milk on the top shelf.
Alfred, always a pleasure.
Alfred, help me.
Alfred! Come up here!
All creatures feel fear.
All kinds of funds and brokerages.
All of you phonies, all of you two faced friends...
All prototypes. None in production.
All right, last one across.
All right.
All these years, I wanted to kill him.
All this...
Am I meant to understand any of that?
Amusing.
And a straitjacket to pin it on.
And at the center...
And do you still feel responsible for your parents' death?
And I am firing you.
And I bought most of the shares.
And I know about your experiments with the inmates of your nut house.
And I'll be handsomely rewarded for my shares.
And it's all that's left of him.
And know that this power can be yours.
And make no mistake, here you face death.
And men fear most what they cannot see.
And now the cops want him. What does that tell you?
And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed...
And thank you for that item.
And the word is...
And this time no misguided idealists will get in the way.
And those goons you used.
And we still haven't picked up Crane or half the inmates of Arkham that he freed.
And what path can Ra's al Ghul offer?
And what was I looking for?
And what you really fear is inside yourself.
And when he gets here, he's not going to wanna hear...
And when I heard you were back, I...
And when I traveled...
And where would I be leading these men?
And why do we fall, Bruce?
And you always fear...
And you are afraid.
And you can borrow the Rolls, if you like. Just bring it back with a full tank.
Any ideas where you would start?
Apart from the mud.
Applied Sciences caught my eye.
Are his methods supernatural?
Are you coming back to Gotham for long, sir?
Are you ready to begin?
Are you so desperate to fight criminals...
Armed robbery, double homicide.
Armed.
As a man...
As a symbol, I can be incorruptible.
As Gotham's favored son...
As long as it takes.
As you can see for yourself, there is nothing convenient about his symptoms.
As you wish.
At least tell me your name.
At least you'll have company.
At the next intersection, turn right.
At this point, they can't stop us.
BASE jumping.
Batman may have made the front page...
Batman will save us. He'll come.
Batman, put down your weapons and surrender.
Batman's just a symbol, Rachel.
Bats frighten me.
Be careful who sees you with that.
Because as much as I care about getting Falcone, I care more about you.
Become one with the darkness.
Begged.
Better get you off the island before they raise the bridges. Patrolman!
Between you and the people of Gotham.
Bill? Now, what's a big shot like you doing in a place like this?
Blessed bat again, sir.
Blood. Take. Take poison. Blood poison.
Breathe in your fears.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Bruce Wayne!
Bruce Wayne.
Bruce Wayne.
Bruce, help me out here.
Bruce, I don't suppose there's any way to convince you not to come.
Bruce, please.
Bruce, we have some more hotels for you to buy.
Bruce?
Bruce?
Bruce?
Bruce?
Bruce? You're supposed to be dead.
Bruce.
Bruce...
Burned London to the ground.
But a criminal is not complicated.
But as a symbol...
But don't think of me as an idiot.
But even for billionaire playboys, 3:00 is pushing it.
But first, you must demonstrate your commitment to justice.
But he's put Falcone behind bars.
But I believed in you.
But I know the rage that drives you.
But I never became one of them.
But I've been wrong before.
But if you let it, it will destroy you...
But if you'd like to make an appointment...
But is Ra's al Ghul immortal?
But it's not who you are underneath...
But it's nothing without the people who made it what it was.
But maybe he's still out there somewhere.
But not of me.
But really, you are gonna release Crane's poison on the entire city.
But that is what we, as responsible managers, are going to do.
But the Batman has a talent for disruption.
But then I found out about your mask.
But these crazies, they can't stand it.
But we underestimated certain of Gotham's citizens...
But you haven't thought it through.
But you know who I'm working for, and when he gets here...
Buy things that are not for sale.
Call Dr. Lehmann, tell him we need our own assessment to the judge by morning.
Can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.
Can he really fly?
Can we go?
Can't change the world on your own.
Carmine Falcone brings in shipments of drugs every week.
Come here.
Come on, Bruce. Come on.
Come on, I ain't got all night.
Come on, somebody talk to me.
Come on!
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
Come.
Commissioner Loeb set up a massive task force to catch you.
Concentrate.
Consider us even.
Continue.
Corrupt bureaucrats?
Crane poisoned her with a psychotropic hallucinogen, a panic inducing toxin.
Crane was just a pawn. We need to be ready.
Crane's been smuggling his toxin hidden in Falcone's drugs...
Crime. Despair.
Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding.
Cut him down.
Dead end.
Death does not wait for you to be ready!
Death is not considerate or fair!
Did you build this train, Dad?
Did you lose one?
Didn't you get the memo?
Didn't you get the memo?
Distance to Wayne Tower, three miles.
Do you have any lightweight fabrics?
Do you understand?
Do you want my opinion? You need to lighten up.
Does it come in black?
Don 't you think that's a little too much heat to bring down, maybe?
Don't be afraid, Bruce.
Don't be afraid.
Don't destroy it.
Don't suppose you want a taste.
Don't turn around.
Down!
Dr. Crane isn't here right now.
Dr. Crane moved him to Arkham Asylum on suicide watch.
Dr. Crane, thanks for coming.
Dr. Crane, thanks for coming.
Drive sports cars, date movie stars.
Drugs, prints, cargo manifests. This bat character gave us everything.
During combat, two of these would jump over a river, towing cables.
Earle just fired me for asking too many questions about it.
Earle told me exactly what it was when he sent me down here.
Embrace your worst fear.
Environmental procedures, defense projects, consumer products.
Especially the scary ones.
Even he can't get me in here. Not in my town.
Even if these guys will swear to being thrashed by a giant bat...
Even the scary ones?
Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence...
Everybody?
Everyone.
Everyone.
Everything my family...
Face them.
Fair enough.
Falcone floods our streets with crime and drugs...
Falcone has half the city bought and paid for.
Falcone may not have killed your parents, Bruce...
Falcone paid him off to get Chill out in the open.
Falcone says hi.
Falcone sent them to kill you.
Feel its power to distort.
Finders keepers.
Flass, I have kids to feed.
Focus.
Fool. What do I care what your name is? You're a criminal.
For Thomas Wayne, helping others...
For your own sake, there is no turning back.
Force him outside, the police will take him down. Go.
Fox, I seem to remember firing you.
Fox's department.
Freeze!
Gas powered, magnetic grapple gun.
Gentlemen.
Gentlemen...
Get going. Oh, shit.
Get her downstairs. Meet me in the alley.
Get in here!
Get in.
Get rid of all traces.
Give me more time. There are good people here.
Given the 14 years served, as well as his extraordinary level of cooperation...
Go back to Wayne Enterprises now and start making more of that antidote.
Go!
Good morning, Mr. Earle's office.
Good morning. I'm here to see Mr. Earle.
Good news.
Good people like your parents, who'll stand against injustice, they're gone.
Gordon! All the city's riot police are on the island with you!
Gordon.
Gordon...
Got him.
Gotham isn't beyond saving.
Gotham.
Gotham...
Gotham's been good to our family, but the city's been suffering.
GPS online.
Great.
Gunned down by one of the very people they were trying to help.
Happy birthday.
Harassment! I see harassment!
Has he got anything to say?
Hasn't he noticed you're tall enough to reach now?
Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?
Have you seen the girl?
Have you told anyone I'm coming back?
Haven't given up on me yet?
Having fun?
Having trouble?
He believed his example could inspire the wealthy of Gotham to save their city.
He can be destroyed or locked up.
He learned things, and he will testify in exchange for early parole.
He mentioned someone else, someone worse.
He said your father begged for mercy.
He wanted to liquidate your majority shareholding.
He was able to weaponize it.
He... He's coming to Gotham?
He'll talk to me.
He's done something the police never have.
He's flying on rooftops.
He's got no way off that roof.
He's here.
He's not a member of the League of Shadows?
He's paid up with the right people.
He's turning into a jerk.
Helped him build his train.
Here we are.
Here you go.
Here.
Hey, I scratch your back, you scratch mine, doc.
Hey!
Hey.
Hey. Steiss.
His crime was appalling, yes, but it was motivated not by greed...
His toxin is derived from the organic compound found in our blue flowers.
Hold it.
Hold these people back.
Hopefully you won't need it.
How did the stock offering go?
How do you feel?
How do you know my name?
How long would it take to manufacture on a large scale?
How were you gonna get your toxin into the air?
How's your mom?
I am more than aware that you are not intimidated by me, Mr. Falcone.
I am more.
I assume that as you take on the underworld...
I better check it.
I brought mine.
I called Mr. Fox when your condition worsened after the first day.
I can see everything all right from down here, sir, thank you.
I can... I can barely stand.
I can't do that as Bruce Wayne.
I cannot let that pass.
I couldn't figure the legal ramifications of bringing you back from the dead.
I counted six, Mr. Wayne.
I didn't have time to observe the rules of the road, Alfred.
I do.
I don't care about my name.
I don't have the luxury of friends.
I don't think they tried to market it to the billionaire, BASE jumping crowd.
I don't think Thomas Wayne would have viewed heavy arms manufacture...
I don't... I don't know. I never knew. Never.
I failed.
I gather there is a member of the Wayne family here today.
I gave her a concentrated dose.
I give a damn because a good man once made me responsible...
I got something to show you.
I have nothing to add to the report I filed with the judge.
I haven't.
I just keep offering, thinking maybe someday you'll get wise.
I just needed some fresh air.
I just want to get to know the company that my family built.
I know you don't want the cops to take a closer look at the drugs they seized.
I know. I'm sorry I can't come tonight. I was just dropping off your present.
I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong.
I miss them, Alfred. I miss them so much.
I need some information.
I need you at the docks Thursday.
I never knew. I don't know.
I never said thank you.
I never stopped thinking about you.
I never went to the drop off point. It was in the Narrows.
I own the muscle in this town.
I respect the mind's power over the body.
I said terrible things.
I started to hope.
I suppose not.
I think after 20 years we can allow ourselves...
I think the Batman deserves a medal.
I think you're trying to help.
I thought I might prepare a little supper.
I thought this might be a good opportunity for...
I told you he'd come.
I use it in my experiments.
I want all the information on the development of this project...
I want my own psychiatric consultant to have full access to Falcone...
I want to borrow it.
I want to thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking all of my booze.
I wanted to save Gotham.
I warned you about compassion, Bruce.
I was a coward with a gun...
I wasn't always here in the mountains.
I watched him die.
I will go back to Gotham and I will fight men like this...
I will teach you to confront it and to face the truth.
I will tell him you saved his life.
I won't kill you...
I would hardly have testified to that otherwise, would I?
I wouldn't be too sure of that.
I wouldn't have a second's hesitation of blowing your head off in front of them.
I...
I'd heard you were back.
I'll be standing where I belong.
I'll bring what I have. The antidote should inoculate you for now.
I'll get my car.
I'll let him know you're coming.
I'll talk to the judge and see if I can get him moved...
I'm a strong advocate.
I'm Batman.
I'm bringing in the shipments.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
I'm gonna give you a sedative. You'll wake up back at home.
I'm guessing there's something I'm not supposed to find in there.
I'm merging your department with Archives.
I'm no executioner.
I'm no rat.
I'm not afraid of you.
I'm not learning polo, Alfred.
I'm not looking to interfere.
I'm on him.
I'm sorry to disappoint.
I'm sure you realize I can't stop the big machine.
I'm using this monster to help other people, just like my father did.
I've already paged Dr. Lehmann at County General.
I've felt these effects before, but this was so much more potent.
I've gotta get me one of those.
I've had training.
Idealist, huh?
If I have my way, I'll pull the damn thing down brick by brick.
If someone stands in the way of true justice...
If that pressure reaches us...
If the machine gets to the station...
If those are to be the first of many injuries to come...
If you are bored of brawling with thieves and want to achieve something...
If you can carry it to the top of the mountain...
If you're uncomfortable...
Impressive.
In 100 yards.
In a town this bent, who's there to rat to anyway?
In a way.
In here, only the mind can grant you power.
In my garden.
In my opinion, Mr. Zsaz is as much a danger to himself as to others...
In prison, he shared a cell with Carmine Falcone.
In the depression, your father nearly bankrupted Wayne Enterprises...
In the joint, Chill told me about the night he killed your parents.
In the meantime, sir, may I suggest you try to avoid landing on your head?
In this case, a scarecrow.
Indeed. And then, quite separately...
Inside, I am...
Invisible?
Is Sergeant Gordon your friend?
Is this your father's?
Isn't it convenient for a 52 year old man who has no history of mental illness...
It can't be personal, or you're just a vigilante.
It counteracts Crane's toxin.
It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die.
It looks like somebody...
It should be you standing by my side, saving the world.
It uses focused microwaves to vaporize the enemy's water supply.
It was him, and him alone.
It was some asshole in a costume.
It was some kind of hallucinogen, weaponized, in aerosol form.
It's a bit technical.
It's a black...
It's a cute little assistant D A.
It's a microwave emitter.
It's a microwave emitter. It was designed to vaporize an enemy's water supply.
It's a nice coat.
It's a problem with the graphite, sir.
It's a start. Your partner was at the docks with Falcone.
It's been all over the news. He's back.
It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?
It's designed for desert warfare, but it...
It's fine. It's fine.
It's not just your name, sir. It's your father's name.
It's not who I am underneath...
It's okay, it's okay. No one's gonna hurt you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's Rachel, Alfred. She was dying.
It's time my enemies shared my dread.
It's Wayne Enterprises, Mr. Earle. I'm sure they'll call back.
It's why I do what I do.
It's your birthday.
It's...
It's... It's not me. It's...
Jessica? Where are you?
Jesus. The pressure, it's spiking.
Jesus. The pressure, it's spiking.
Job's getting worse.
Joe! Hey, Joe!
Just hold on.
Just know that there are those of us who care about what you do with your future.
Just like me.
Just some nut.
Just swimming here. Wow, it is good to see you.
Just the way it was, brick for brick.
Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better.
Justice is balance.
Justice. Crime cannot be tolerated.
Keep them happy until I arrive.
Kevlar biweave, reinforced joints.
Kevlar utility harness.
Kind of made Wayne Tower the unofficial center of Gotham City.
Leaves a calling card.
Legend, Mr. Wayne.
Leverage on Judge Faden...
Like Constantinople or Rome before it...
Like you, I was forced to learn there are those without decency...
Listen, counselor, we don't wanna know what's in Mr. Falcone's crate.
Loeb, Loeb. This is Gordon.
Look around you. You'll see two councilmen...
Look, I'd rather Mr. Earle didn't know about me borrowing...
Look, it's all a bit technical, but the important thing...
Looking out for you.
Looks fine out there.
Looks like someone's been burning the candle at both ends.
Lucius.
Ma'am? Everything okay?
Madman with a gun.
Many happy returns.
Mass production?
Master Wayne, you've been gone a long time.
Master Wayne! Master Wayne!
Master your senses.
Maybe I should thank them.
Maybe money isn't as interesting to me as favors.
Maybe someday, when Gotham no longer needs Batman...
Maybe you'd like to see some excessive force?
Misplaced?
Miss Dawes, this is most irregular.
Missing?
Mom! Mr. Alfred!
Mr. Chill?
Mr. Finch.
Mr. Wayne, if you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing...
Mr. Wayne.
Must be a compound that has to be absorbed through the lungs.
My anger outweighs my guilt.
My fight, however, lies with the rest of Gotham.
My great love.
My name is merely Ducard, but I speak for Ra's al Ghul...
My parents deserved justice.
My room will be fine.
My security clearance has been revoked.
Name?
Never.
Never.
Nice car.
Nice coat.
Nice ride.
Nightmare.
Ninjitsu employs explosive powders.
No going back to bed.
No gun? I'm insulted.
No one can save Gotham.
No one takes the law into their own hands in my city.
No, Alfred, it's my father's house.
No, I'll set the bone and take him for an x ray later.
No, really.
No, we are showing very healthy growth in these sectors.
No.
No. They put it all in. They must've been at this for weeks.
No. Today it's BASE jumping.
Nobody takes him down. Why?
Nomex survival suit for advanced infantry.
Not at all. He cut his wrists?
Not at all. I just wanted you to know how hard it was.
Not unless he's got some way of getting that crap into the air.
Not... Not now, sir.
Notify the water company. There's gotta be a way to isolate it.
Now I can't.
Now just take it and go.
Now, am I pronouncing this right...
Now, I don't care if it's rival gangs, Guardian Angels...
Now, I'm probably not very frightening to a guy like you.
Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months...
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a city to destroy.
Now, take this guy.
Now, that's power you can't buy.
Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot...
Of course not. He thought our plan was to hold the city to ransom.
Of course they are!
Of course, better safe than sorry.
Of course, Earle let it go to rot. Here we are.
Officer, I am a Gotham City district attorney. Let me pass.
Oh, it's too late.
Okay. Let's do it.
Okay. Let's go.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
On whose authority?
Once, I had a wife.
One for Gordon to inoculate himself, the other for mass production.
Only a cynical man would call what these people have lives, Wayne.
Only those who know me, kid.
Only you can know that.
Or cheap parlor tricks to conceal your true identity, Ra's?
Or the corrupt.
Outside, he was a giant.
Over here on the throttle, flip that open and throttle up.
Over the ages our weapons have grown more sophisticated.
Panther.
Patients suffering delusional episodes often focus their paranoia...
People from your world...
People get mugged coming home from work every day of the week.
People less fortunate than us have been enduring very hard times.
People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy.
People, they want this bridge up in no more than three minutes!
Perhaps you should have some, clear your head.
Pick one of these flowers.
Place to keep me from causing the board any more trouble.
Please go.
Poisonous. Poisonous.
Polo, for instance.
Prices soared.
Probably looking for the insanity plea. But if anything should happen...
Ra's al Ghul rescued us from the darkest corners of our own hearts.
Ra's al Ghul?
Ra's... Ra's al Ghul.
Rachel Dawes.
Rachel, all of...
Rachel, let me see.
Rachel, this man killed my parents.
Rachel!
Rachel?
Rachel?
Rebuild it.
Regularly flexible...
Right there.
Right you are, Mr. Wayne.
Right, Mr. Fox?
Routed it right into Wayne Tower, along with the water and power utilities.
Rumor was they tested dispersing water based chemicals into the air...
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow. Scarecrow.
See, I don't go into business with a guy without finding out his dirty secrets.
She misses this place.
She needs the antidote before the damage is permanent.
She probably hopes to talk you out of going.
She was built as a bridging vehicle.
She was taken from me.
She's downstairs, sedated. I need you to take her home.
Should I just bury the past out there with my parents, Alfred?
Should've tipped better.
Sir, the pool is for decoration...
Sir.
So Crane was working for you.
So do I, Master Bruce.
So do I.
So do I.
So don't come here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself.
So I'm on my own?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
So when did the nut take over the nut house?
So, what do you think?
So, what's your interest in it, Mr. Wayne?
So, what's your point, Mr. Flass?
Solitary.
Somebody's planning to disperse the toxin using the water supply.
Someone like you is only here by choice.
Someone like you.
Someone who'll rattle the cages.
Something elemental...
Something elemental...
Sometimes... Sometimes things just go bad.
Sorry.
Spelunking?
Stop smiling, it's not a joke. Please leave.
Storm's coming.
Strange injuries, a nonexistent social life.
Sure, I was desperate, like a lot of people back then...
Surely a man who spends his nights scrambling over the rooftops of Gotham...
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Taste of your own medicine, doctor?
Tell that to the guy who owned these.
Tell them that joke you know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
That impossible anger strangling the grief...
That water main is right under the Narrows.
That we should kill you.
That wouldn't stop a man like you, would it?
That's no help to me.
That's right, you better run.
That's sweet.
That's the power of fear.
That's why it's so important.
That's why you couldn't fight injustice, that's why you can't stop this train.
The 350 pound test monofilament.
The apple has fallen very far from the tree, Mr. Wayne.
The Batman.
The bats again?
The bears go straight to the dealers.
The Coast Guard picked up one of our cargo ships last night...
The company went public a week ago.
The damage to the ship was catastrophic.
The day that Chill died, I...
The depression hit working people, like Mr. Chill, hardest of all.
The first time I stole so that I wouldn 't starve, yes.
The key thing is...
The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption...
The man I loved...
The monorail follows the water mains to the central hub beneath Wayne Tower.
The Narrows is tearing itself to pieces.
The next 10,000 will be up to specifications.
The ninja understands that invisibility is a matter of patience and agility.
The other kids won't believe me.
The path of a man who shares his hatred of evil...
The path of the League of Shadows.
The police are gonna need as much as they can get their hands on.
The pressure's moving along the mains, blowing the pipes.
The scum is getting jumpy because you stood up to Falcone.
The ship was carrying a prototype weapon.
The training is nothing!
The Tumbler?
The walls are closing in. Blah, blah, blah.
The water supply won't help you disperse an inhalant.
The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir.
The weapon itself is...
The will to act.
The world is too small for someone like Bruce Wayne to disappear...
Theatricality and deception...
Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself...
Their murder shocked the wealthy and the powerful into action.
Then he tried to take his neighbor's land and became a murderer.
Then watch Gotham tear itself apart through fear.
There is nothing to fear...
There was something... Something else in the drugs...
There you are!
There's a thing about being a Wayne...
There's something I think you should see.
These things beg the question...
They are going to fight you.
They just don't feel the same way.
They nest somewhere in the grounds.
They say it was just one guy. Or a creature.
They talk about the depression as if it's history. It's not.
They went to some guy for a couple days before they went to the dealers.
They were splitting the shipment in two. Only half went to the dealers.
They'll have to be large orders, to avoid suspicion.
They're all gone?
They're jealous.
Things are working a little differently now. Open it up.
Things are worse than ever here.
This city is rotting.
This house, Master Wayne, has sheltered six generations of your family.
This is Commissioner Loeb.
This is Gordon. Prepare to lower the bridge.
This is just the beginning. If they hit the whole city...
This is the most important function of the League of Shadows.
This is the one I'm talking about.
This is the third of Falcone's thugs you've had declared insane...
This is where you belong. Welcome home.
This must be the lowest foundation of the southeast wing.
This ship left Singapore with 246 containers, but arrived with 247.
This way, please.
This will boost you into a rampless jump... Not now!
Thomas would probably not have taken the company public.
Thomas!
Those are Bruce Wayne's guests. You have a name to maintain.
