"improving the foundations: batman begins from comics to screen" by Julian Darius is an in-depth look at the movie Batman Begins and the beginnings of Batman in the comic form. Mr. Darius begins with the history of Batman in the comics (Detective Comics #27 May 1939) and shows the reader how Batman became to be and how his story evolved over the years. From there, the author then delves into the movie, Batman Begins, and breaks it down into acts and scenes. He begins each act/scene with a description of what is happening at that moment. For example:Act 1, Scene 3 (Flashback Sequence 2), Part 1: Continuing directly from the previous flashback, Thomas Wayne pulls his son Bruce up from the well and takes him into Wayne Manor.
Mr. Darius then goes into detail about the history of that scene and its importance. He refers back to particular comics that help illustrate the scene. He will also go into the choice of actor for a role in the film and give some background on the person. What I really liked is that Mr. Darius also included illustrations from the actual comics throughout the book.
I'm not a big Batman fan, but I love the behind the scenes and history of things. This book did not disappoint. I really like the attention to even the smallest details. I enjoyed having each act/scene broken down and the significance of it explained. This book makes me want to go back and watch Batman Begins while holding the book in my hand and referring to it.

Improving the Foundations Batman Begins from Comics to Screen Julian Darius 9780578057408 Books Reviews
I bought this book for a class… Overall it was pretty good, but it bogs down when he started going shot for shot through the movie!
Just like the X-Men book, this is a tour of Batman Begins and how it may, or may not fit into the overall picture of who Batman really is. For 99 cents for the version, how can you go wrong?
The most in depth book in existence on Batman Begins from a scholarly point of view, goes into EVERY scene of the film, piece by piece. Well written, a book for super-nerds and researchers, not for the casual fans. Intro had excellent overview of Batman history, and difference from comic book version to screen version. An excellent book.
Over the past few years, the art of the reboot has come a long way. One of the most successful reboots, of course, has been Christopher Nolan's Batman films. What makes this book, Improving the Foundations, so helpful is that it methodically breaks down all the creative choices the filmmakers have made and relates them to the comics, looking at bits and pieces from the numerous retellings of Batman's origin over the past seventy years or so. The book is sophisticated and smart in its observations, but it's written in a very clear headed and accessible way--no literary jargon or heavy quotes. Just a great, close reading of Batman's origins and the way they are adopted or tweaked in the movie. Would that every quality film franchise had a companion piece like this one.
