Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins was released in cinemas in 2005.
The film premiered in New York City on June 15, 2005, before its wider theatrical release in the United States on June 15 and the United Kingdom on June 17. It served as a new beginning for the Batman film series rather than continuing the storyline of the earlier movies.
Christian Bale played Bruce Wayne and Batman, while Michael Caine portrayed Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman played James Gordon, and Liam Neeson appeared as Ra’s al Ghul. The story follows Bruce Wayne’s training and his decision to fight crime in Gotham City.
Batman Begins was followed by The Dark Knight in 2008 and The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. A common mix-up is placing the film’s release in 2004, but its principal theatrical release year was 2005.
