Click over to Visual Imagination to read an interview with Batman Begins star Christian Bale, who plays Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Here's a clip: "Reading the comics, I've always felt that Batman was a very interesting character - at least as interesting as the villains - and I think this film gets back to that. This is an origin story, not a sequel, and the theme of the story is one of realism. We know that Batman doesn't have superhuman powers, but you'll see it in this film, and we find out how the Bat Cave works, where Batman gets his weapons and how the Batmobile really works. The biggest thing is that Batman's the most interesting character in the film."
