In his and Goyer's conversation, Horowitz compared him "Batman begins" with "Superman: Richard Donner's film" in 1978. Who Also It takes time to get to Superman in the suit. Goyer added, Nolan and co. mapped their structure compared to other comics films, such as Superman and Sam Raimi's "Spiderman", To show Batman's late arrival was not that late.

"We were ready to prosecute the case with (WB)," Goyer explained. He confirmed that there was a draft that began with a cold open Batman on the roof of Arkam Asylum, who spread his cloak, while police are prosecuting him (which is happening later in the film), "But very soon, thank God, we argued with that."

Reading between the lines of Goyer's words, you can collect what Warner Bros. root. Concern was: No Batman in the first hour of the film would mean there would be no action in the first hour. However, Goyer and Nolan were aware of that potential problem. To ensure that the audience did not think Bruce Wayne was bored, they decided to show that he could shoot without a bat suit.

"We knew pretty early that the audience had to be in the running in Bruce Wayne," Goyer explained. "We should have (...) an incredible action sequence, as incredible as everything from Indiana Onesons, which included Bruce Wayne, not Batman."

That action scene ended when Bruce avoids the burning league of shadow fortress. Even before, however, there are bursts of action as when Bruce fences with ducr over frozen lake. This ensures that the audience does not subconsciously make the relationship of "Bruce Wayne scenes = annoying chat scenes, where is Batman?"

"Batman: One Year" since 1987 by Frank Miller and David Maccheli (One of the biggest source materials for "Batman starts") does something similar. The book has four chapters ("Batman" editions #404-407), but the first does not show Bruce in the leaves. Instead, the first chapter follows him as he goes to the fight against crime without a suit and fails because criminals are not afraid of him. At the end of the chapter, he realizes that he must "become a bat", and debuts as Batman in Chapter 2. As "Year One", "Batman starts" realizes that Bruce Wayne's origin can and should be engaged, atmospheric and story packed in his own, not just placing the table.
