Batman Begins
Have you ever experienced something that has changed you completely and you have no clue why? You’re just sitting there wondering how your mind works and how this could have had such a crazy effect on you. My insane experience and favorite movie was Batman Begins in IMAX. A few reasons why Batman was such a breath taking film were; it explained everything about my child hood superhero, Batman was a superhero without supernatural powers, and his determination was powered by the best line I have ever heard.

Superman was super strong and could fly, Spiderman got bit by a rare spider and took on its characteristics, and Underdog could fly and was goofy, catch my drift? I have never read a book, saw a flick, or heard about any superhero that couldn’t fly or do something impossible until batman came along. All of his powers are nothing but technology at its best that he has access to because he is Bruce Wayne. Wayne Enterprises runs Gotham City and is like a DuPont of today making everything under the sun from food to military vehicles. He elevates by means
