Production
After Warner Bros. hired director Christopher Nolan to
direct an untitled Batman film and after 2 months later David S. Goyer
hired by them to write script. olan stated his intention to reinvent the film
franchise of Batman by "doing the origins story of the character,
which is a story that's never been told before".Goyer said that the goal
of the film was to get the audience to care for both Batman and Bruce Wayne.
As with all his films, Nolan refused a second
unit he did this in order to keep his vision consistent . Filming began in
March 2004 in the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland (standing in for Bhutan). The
crew built a village and the front doors to Ra's' temple, as well as a road to
access the remote area. Mentmore Towers was chosen from twenty different
locations for Wayne Manor, situated in northwest London, England. Crowley
started the process of designing the Batmobile for the film by model bashing.
Crowley used the nose cone of a P-38 Lightning model to serve as the chassis
for the Tumbler's turbine engine. Six models of the Tumbler were built to 1:12
scale in the course of four months.It have a speed of over 100 miles per hour
(160 km/h), go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5 seconds,
possess a steering system to make sharp turns at city corners. For the design
and development process took nine months and cost several million dollars.
With the design process complete, four street-ready race cars were constructed, with each vehicle possessing 65 panels and costing $250,000 to build .One version was the jet version, in which an actual jet engine was mounted onto the vehicle, fueled by six propane tanks. The filmmakers intended to create a very mobile Batsuit that would allow the wearer to move easily to fight and crouch. The score for Batman Begins was composed by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.
