Batman Begins 

Starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman. As of 2006, this could very well be the best Batman film to date. The term 'Batman Begins' is used in association with film remakes or restarts (within a franchise) that exceed their predecessors.

Casino Royale could be the 'Batman Begins' of the 007 franchise!

The only reason you might have accidentally stumbled onto this is cause you have been wasting time on the Internet and seeing this made you wonder what people back then really thought of the movie.

Anon (in 2006): Batman Begins was the best Batman movie ever.
Anon (in 2015): Batfleck was better than Batbale.
