{{quote|''A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification; he can be destroyed or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, you become something else entirely...[[Batman|a legend]], Mr. Wayne.''|'''[[Knight Templar|Henri Ducard]]'''}}

 

The film opens [[In Medias Res]] with Bruce Wayne incarcerated in a prison in Bhutan, where a man named Henri Ducard arranges for Wayne's release and offers him a place in Ra's al Ghul's League of Shadows. Ducard trains Bruce in the way of the [[Ninja]] -- and in [[Don't Think, Feel|overcoming his fear]] -- while Bruce explains his [[Backstory]]. Upon discovering that Ra's intends to destroy Gotham City, Bruce fights his way out and [[Stuff Blowing Up|blows up the dojo]]. Bruce returns to Gotham and vows to take back the city from the criminals; to this end, he combines his League of Shadows training, obscene wealth, old fear of bats, and access to his company's [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?|R&D projects]] to turn himself into a vigilante crimefighter. The Batman makes his grand entrance by bringing [[The Mafia|mafioso]] Carmine Falcone to justice, but in doing so, he discovers that Dr. Jonathan Crane has disturbing plans for Gotham City involving large quantities of a [[Psycho Serum|fear toxin]] -- and that Crane works on orders from someone else...

** During the "secrets of scary people" scene, Flass warns Falcone that there's something going on and they should bail. Falcone just sits there in his car for a little while, then decides to get up to see for himself what's going on... namely, that Batman's beating up several of Falcone's goons at the same time. Apparently even with this going on right in front of him it takes him a little while to figure out that Batman's someone to be feared. So, he decides to get back to his car to get a gun. {{spoiler|Too late.}}

* [[Soiled City on a Hill]]: Gotham City is this from the point of view of Henri Ducard and the League of Shadows.

* [[Suspect Is Hatless]]: During the Batmobile chase with the increasingly frantic cops.
