Bruce, however, disagrees, knowing the consuming power of hatred. He lost someone close to him as well, but was able to quell his grief through vengeance. Bruce, convalescing from his brutal training, warms by a fire with Ducard, who opens up about the reason he secluded himself to the mountains. But it’s the scene after that sets the tone for the rest of Batman’s journey, and for Christopher Nolan’s franchise interpretation. But until then, this is the sexiest, most intimate scene of any Batman film.ĭespite an origin and history ripe for spine-tingling flashbacks, Batman Begins is the first feature film to take advantage of a nifty duel on a frozen lake between Bruce Wayne and mentor Henri Ducard. Sadly, after the couple steps off the dance floor, the Penguin bursts through it in a giant rubber ducky. With a trivial refrain about mistle-toe, each secret identity is exposed, as Danny Elfman’s strings replace the soundtrack, isolating the twisted two from the bourgeois crowd. While Michelle Pfieffer devilishly smolders her way through their dance, Michael Keaton works the scene with his steely gaze, as Wayne is both mortified by Selena’s ruthlessness and uncontrollably aroused by it. As the two of them share a dance, their verbal pas de duex signifies the broad emotional spectrum of their connection, from attraction to shock to respect. In his second outing’s finest scene, the Bat and the Cat share their steamiest encounter at a masked ball, where they are ironically the only two people not wearing costumes. This is big, unapologetic filmmaking (made more so by Elliot Goldenthal’s appropriately booming soundtrack) that, for one set piece at least, works like gangbusters.įor all of Tim Burton’s carnival eccentricity and shameless literalizing of the Batman mythos, the one character aspect he got right in his two films is the tempestuous dynamic between Batman and Catwoman. It also stresses the vulnerability of a man fighting crime, as evidenced when the newly-christened Robin has to pull our hero from the rubble. The film - and this scene in particular - emphasizes the character as an unkillable force, a symbol that causes an exasperated Two-Face to bellow (before trying to blow him to kingdom come) “Why can’t you just die?!” A few perfunctory pyrotechnics later, we get our second moment of awe: Batman emerging from a wall of flames in the glory of slow motion. Particularly, when Batman pursues the maniacal Two-Face by hurling down a building and opening his wings to break his landing, we are treated to a stunning special effects shot that spins around his freefall.
