OVER BLACK SCENE CARD

Batman Begins Turns Fear Into Method

Batman Begins (2005) · League training / fear theatricalized into discipline

The origin works when fear becomes a craft system. Training does not merely toughen Bruce; it gives him the theatrical grammar that later becomes Batman.

Why it works

The League scenes tie pain, disguise, ideology, and combat into a method. The hero's myth is built as procedure before it becomes iconography.
