Honest Trailer For BATMAN BEGINS Compares The Dark Knight To Adam West's Caped Crusader

The Screen Junkies team has finally taken a crack at Batman Begins but how does the movie many consider the hero's best origin story fare in this Honest Trailer? Not well thanks to his murderous actions!

Following the mess that was Batman and Robin, Batman Begins was obviously just what the franchise needed back in 2005. Providing a grounded take on the Dark Knight, it led to a trilogy which has since been hailed as one of the greatest of all-time, but that hasn't stopped it from getting the Honest Trailers treatment!

While the video below has plenty of good things to say, it also doesn't shy away from the fact that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale's Batman was something of a killer. 

The hero's decision to leave Ra's al Ghul to die in that train is one which fans have talked about nearly as much (well, maybe not) as Superman breaking General Zod's neck in Man of Steel, and yeah, I guess it technically was manslaughter! Anyway, check out this Honest trailer below and then feel free to let us know your thoughts on it in the comments section.

@ODanil - I rewatched this a few days ago and I don't kow man, didn't hold up as I expected. I'd say it's better then TDKR at least.

There is that "evil", the director had no clue about batman again, letting ninjas getting blown up in secret lairs and allowing his arch nemesis to plunge to his death.

Batman Begins is still the second best superhero movie after Spider-Man 2.
