Batman Begins contains a large number of superhero movie conventions! One of these is the includance of a superhero costumer. However, the interesting thing about this, is that Batman's costume doesn't completely follow the convention. Usually, we would expect a bright, out of the ordinary, and very noticable suit, like Superman's or Spiderman's. Although, Batman's is almost the opposite of this. Almost ninety-nine percent of Batman's costume is black, however this doesn't meant it doesn't follow the superhero costume convention. As well as that, we can imply this characters personality through the colour as being very dark and sinister, as the colour black usually implicates.
The special abilities convetion is very strange in this film, as Batman doesn't actually obtain any 'super' powers. However, you could argue that his imaginative and extensive use of gadgets and wealth is his power; as well as his 7 year long training, in combat. These powers aren't as flashy, and noticable as those of the like as, The Flash, for example, although you could still argue that these are out of the ordianary and very heroic.
Every Superhero film needs a villain, and Batman Begins is no exception with 2 villains. Despite the fact people argue Scarecrow isn't the villain as he is only included in a few scenes, and is rarely scene in comabt with Batman, there are still momements where he is coveyed as a threat, and is shown to have the capabilities to defeat Batman. However, the main villain is Ras-Ah-Ghul, the leader of the league of shadows, a group once joined by Bruce Wayne who he soon betrayed, as his mentor, Ras-Ah-Ghul does appear as a massive threat to the theory, showing the capabilites to defeat Batman, which is how a supervillain should appear.
Ecspecially with trilogies, it is important to provide the viewer with an origin story(an anectode of how the story went from the equilibrium to the disruption and the recognition etc.) Basically, this whole film fits this convetion as the title of the fillm state: this film is all about the beginning of Batman, and how he became the hero of Gotham. Usually, trilogies do this witth their first film, as it sets a path for the sequels, because they can jump straight into the action right at the start, without being concerned with having to provide the viewers with so much information.
