7. Batman vs. Ra’s Al Ghul (Batman Begins)
As great as The Dark Knight Trilogy was, most fans agree that Christopher Nolan was very much finding his feet in terms of directing action in Batman Begins. While the final battle between the Caped Crusader and Ra’s Al Ghul was ok, the ending has left fans with a bad taste in their mouths to this very day.
Though he refuses to kill his former mentor, Bruce Wayne’s decision to not save Ra’s life is basically the same thing. It’s very out of character for Batman and while the movie is a superb addition to the franchise, it’s a shame that the final battle ended in such a disappointing and somewhat controversial manner. It was a fight scene which could and should have been much better, similar to the final appearance of the Scarecrow who was easily dispatched by a taser to the face!
