4.5/5 | "La señal es clara en las alturas, la figura en las nubes no miente: Batman está de vuelta, más firme y más fuerte que nunca." |
| Cinenganos |
| Alex Ramirez |
| "In his best, and darkest, outing to date, the masked avenger's personal 'issues' reflect those of the world in the wake of 9/11." |
| Movie Gazette |
| Anton Bitel |
A | "Batman Begins is an overwhelming success that will please fanboys foremost and average, patient moviegoers second." |
| FromTheBalcony |
| Bill Clark |
8/10 | "Buoyed by a crackerjack script, a horrifying villain, and a dramatic momentum that pulls like a dark, deadly undertow -- this is one summer blockbuster to be reckoned with." |
| Freeze Dried Movies |
| Brian Juergens |
A | "Drained of its color, the franchise rediscovered its valor, landing the caped crusader his finest motion picture effort to date. And the ending? Oh, that ending." |

| Brian Orndorf |
3.5/5 | "a solid and frequently very good superhero flick, though it doesn't quite measure up to 2002's Spider-Man, a film which follows a surprisingly near-identical template" |
| Filmcritic.com |
| Christopher Null |
5/5 | "This, dear friends, is how to do it right." |

| David Cornelius |
A- | "It's a new beginning for the bat... and a must-see summer movie for 2005." |
| EDGE Boston |
| David Foucher |
4/4 | "Batman Begins comes rushing off the screen like a long-delayed form of enlightenment, finally realizing the full potential of its center." |
| Cinemaphile.org |
| David Keyes |
3/4 | "...Batman Begins is generally an extremely entertaining, exceedingly well-acted summer movie. Unfortunately, that's all it is." |
| Reel Film Reviews |
| David Nusair |
B+ | "A defining Batman." |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
2.5/4 | "Batman Begins is involving and skillful, more so as a drama than as an action film." |

C- | "Never boring enough to dislike... never interesting enough to be engaging" |
| FilmJerk.com |
| Edward Havens |
3/5 | "(...) Se ubica en un muy digno punto intermedio entre el pasatiempo comercial promedio y el cine de autor hollywoodense (si es que algo así todavía existe)." |
| Uruguay Total |
| Enrique Buchichio |
B+ | "This is a movie I can get behind, a scary, exhilarating flurry of conflicting ideals, dark heroes, darker villains and good old-fashioned bang-up action." |
| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
A | "A great movie, the best of the summer and the year so far, assuring that the trend of comic-book-to-screen adaptation trend will not only continue, but continue vigorously." |

4/4 | "They finally got it right. Finally." |
| Cinema Crazed |
| Felix Vasquez Jr. |
3/4 | "Relentlessly moody, colorfully chaotic and symbolically transfixing, Batman Begins is definitely a new chapter that’s instilled in the same old reliable book" |
| Movie Eye |
| Frank Ochieng |
B | "Until the overblown, chaotic finale obligatory in Hollywood action movies nowadays, it's an abundantly moody, amply exciting exercise in cinematic resuscitation." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |
3/5 | "The attention Nolan gives to the characters and the storyline brings Batman back into focus as an inventive heroic figure." |
| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |
54/100 | "So much is rich with ingenuity and daring that its constant missteps are exceptionally glaring." |
| Film and Felt |
| Gabe Leibowitz |
3.5/4 | "Christopher Nolan has gone back to basics, jettisoning both the silliness of the TV incarnation and the gothic and fetishist elements of the '90s version. This is a hard-core, down-and-gritty origin story." |
| ReelViews |
| James Berardinelli |
3.5/4 | "aims to return Batman to his darker roots and also align more clearly with the character-driven graphic novels that resurrected the character in the mid-1980s" |
| Q Network Film Desk |

| "A Batman for action movie fans." |
| Sci-Fi Movie Page |
| James O'Ehley |

| Netflix |
| James Rocchi |
2.5/4 | "It's passable entertainment that our culture has wildly overrated." |
| Cinema Writer |
| Jay Antani |

| Jean-François Vandeuren |
'3.5/4' | "The boy in the bestial batsuit is bigger and better than ever thanks to a dark veil of secrecy and the menacing genesis of family skeletons." |
| Palo Alto Weekly |
| Jeanne Aufmuth |

| Window to the Movies |
| Jeffrey Chen |
7/10 | "...finally provides us with an actor who is completely believable as both Bruce Wayne and Bathead himself, Christian Bale." |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
| JoBlo |
3.5/4 | "Mr. Nolan's assured direction and pacing keep the movie feeling brisk even at its two-plus hour running time." |
| Big Picture Big Sound |
| Joe Lozito |
8/10 | "Its edgy tone and dark atmosphere coupled with its comic-book theatrics make it a winning combination for older children and adults alike." |
| DVDTown.com |
| John J. Puccio |
| "Who knows where it may lead, but compared to other Batman movies, 'Batman Begins' is a stupendous start." |
| ReelTalk Movie Reviews |
| John P. McCarthy |
'4' | "Burton’s work checks in as the better movie, both aesthetically and artistically, however, and please hear me out, Batman Begins is the better Batman movie." |
| Bangitout.com |
| Jordan Hiller |
3.5/4 | "Se trata de un filme oscuro pero muy humano y, por lo mismo, inolvidable. Un digno renacimiento para un gran héroe." |
| Moviola |
| Jorge Avila Andrade |

| Movies for the Masses |
| Joseph Proimakis |
| "Batman Begins rocks." |
| 3BlackChicks Review |
| Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel |
5/5 | "It seethes and it revs and it truly does rock; it rocks intelligently, but it is still very cool and even cerebral." |
| Cinerina |
| Karina Montgomery |
4.0/4.0 | "... never before has the costume worn the actor; Bale is Batman with or without it." |
| MovieCrypt.com |
| Kevin A. Ranson |
3.5/5 | "Batman Begins isn’t perfect, but it’s one heck of an improvement over the films in the past - and it’s a great way to welcome the DC heroes back to the silver screen." |
| 7M Pictures |
| Kevin Carr |
4/4 | "A more realistic but still stylish kind of comic book movie." |
| Montreal Film Journal |
| Kevin N. Laforest |
A- | "Perhaps one of Batman Begins biggest joys is the casting against type of Gary Oldman [who] makes his piloting of the Batmobile one of the film's biggest rushes.
" |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Laura Clifford |
3/5 | "Christopher Nolan and David Goyer's somber prequel puts the darkness back in the Dark Knight's corner of crime-fighting hell." |
| TV Guide's Movie Guide |
| Maitland McDonagh |
4/4 | "This is how you make a superhero movie." |
| Mark Reviews Movies |
| Mark Dujsik |
7/10 | "It is difficult to rate a film with such virtues and which also has such glaring faults. On balance it does enough that is impressive." |
| rec.arts.movies.reviews |
| Mark R. Leeper |
| "Bale brings a solemnity and a gravity to Bruce and to Batman that simultaneously creates a protomythic superhero and undercuts the idea..." |
| Flick Filosopher |
| MaryAnn Johanson |
2.5/5 | "Should we comment on the horrendous Batmobile? You probably saw the trailer, so there is no need." |
| Film Threat |
| Michael Ferraro |
3.5/5 | "For the most part, this film is a rousing success -- it's a clever reimagination of tired material and it's a great action film." |
| Goatdog's Movies |
| Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
4/4 | "Batman Begins does all the standard things beautifully, then adds several additional layers of quality via the story and the themes. This is why I go to the movies." |
| Aisle Seat |
| Mike McGranaghan |
2/4 | "But there's no auteurist signature, no idiosyncratic imprint, on the film that distinctly marks it as a work of Nolan's, and thus it feels vaguely impersonal and remote." |
| Slant Magazine |
