This graphic novelization adapts the plot of director Christopher Nolan's film. Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a protective force in Gotham. It recounts the passage of Bruce Wayne in the wake of his parents' murder from a disillusioned industrial heir to Batman, the masked crusader for justice.
