Driven by tragedy, billionaire Bruce Wayne dedicates his life to uncovering and defeating the corruption that plagues his home, Gotham City. Unable to work within the system, he instead creates a new identity, a symbol of fear for the criminal underworld - The Batman.

Batman Begins leans right by championing individual responsibility and moral authority as the solution to urban decay and corruption, emphasizing the restoration of order through a principled hero operating outside a failing system, rather than advocating for systemic societal change.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, with visible diversity in a key supporting role. The narrative centers on a traditional male protagonist without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its story.
Ra's al Ghul, a character canonically established as being of Middle Eastern descent in the source material, is portrayed by Liam Neeson, a white actor, constituting a race swap.
Batman Begins does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on Bruce Wayne's journey to become Batman, his relationships with heterosexual characters, and his efforts to save Gotham, without any reference to queer identities or issues.
Batman Begins does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The film focuses entirely on Bruce Wayne's journey to become Batman and his initial conflicts with villains like Ra's al Ghul and Scarecrow, leaving no room for such portrayals to be evaluated.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. The primary female character, Rachel Dawes, is not depicted as a combatant.
Batman Begins features established characters like Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, and Ra's al Ghul, all of whom retain their canonical male gender in the film's portrayal. No significant character from the source material or prior adaptations has their gender changed.
