  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Batman Begins (2005) is a dark, gritty reboot of the Batman franchise, directed by Christopher Nolan. The film explores the origin story of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), from the tragic murder of his parents to his journey of self-discovery and training across the world. As Wayne returns to Gotham City, he battles crime and corruption, ultimately adopting the identity of Batman to fight the city's overwhelming criminal underworld. The film blends psychological depth, moral dilemmas, and a realistic portrayal of a superhero's struggles, with themes of fear, justice, and redemption at its core. It redefines Batman as a complex, relatable character. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Christian Bale performed many of his own stunts but was not allowed near the Batmobile.” 
    
  “Christian Bale’s discomfort with his Batman outfit contributed to his portrayal of the Dark Knight, as he was often in a bad mood when wearing it.” 
    
  “Director Christopher Nolan personally oversaw every shot during the entire 129-day shoot, as he decided not to use a second unit.” 
    
  “Much of Batman’s gear, including his cape and suit, is inspired by real-life military technology.” 
    
  “Christian Bale lost his voice three times during filming due to the vocal strain of portraying Batman.”

  Fiona Shaw discusses playing Katherine in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, in this ebook taken from Shakespeare On Stage: Volume 2 - Twelve Leading Actors on Twelve Key Roles.
  In each volume of the Shakespeare On Stage series, a leading actor takes us behind the scenes of a landmark Shakespearean production, recreating in detail their memorable performance in a major role. They leads us through the choices they made in rehearsal, and how the character works in performance, shedding new light on some of the most challenging roles in the canon. The result is a series of individual masterclasses that will be invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare – and fascinating for audiences of the plays.
  In this volume, Fiona Shaw discusses playing the role of Katherine in Jonathan Miller's 1987 production of The Taming of the Shrew for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
  This interview, together with the others in the series (with actors such as Ian McKellen, Simon Russell Beale, Patrick Stewart and Harriet Walter), is also available in the collection Shakespeare On Stage: Volume 2 - Twelve Leading Actors on Twelve Key Roles by Julian Curry, with a foreword by Nicholas Hytner.
