The son of a pair of murdered benevolent millionaires grows up determined to clean up his corrupt, crime-ridden home city, and, after several years in the wilderness learning various martial arts, takes on the guise of Batman, and sets about fulfilling his honourable goal, in Nolan’s loud, overblown comic book movie, which is only sporadically entertaining.
