Batman Begins
Chapter I: The blue flower
The story starts when Bruce Wayne was in prison in Buthan, a country far away from Gotham City. One day he was getting breakfast when a very big man attacked him. He tried to get over the situation but a prison officer took him to a dark and closed room.

Been there, Brucenoticed that he was not alone and a man named Ducard appeared. Ducard worked for Ras’s al Ghul and told Bruce to look for a “very special flower” on a high mountain top because there he was supposed to find some important answers for his life.
After that, Bruce started thinking about his life and remembered a sad episode of his childhood. One time, while he was playing with her little friend Rachel hefell down into a dark well where a lot of bats appeared freaking him out.
Bruce started to climb the mountain, as Ducard said, and found the blue flower easily. He climbed higher and entered into a big building he found over there. Inside, Ra’s al Ghul was sitting waiting for him and Ducard was next to him with a line of Ninjas with swords ready to fight. They asked Bruce to fight but he refusedbecause he was tired so when they did the question: “are you ready?”… And Bruce answered not; Ducard threw him to the floor and told him that he must be always ready and that they will teach him to do that.
One day, during the training, Bruce confessed to Ducard that he was afraid of bats and the bad remember of his parents death took over his mind. He remembered the whole episode. He was only 8when, after a play a man took his money and killed Bruce’s parents.
That day Ducard was giving Bruce a lesion on a river. It was thick ice and they were fighting with swords. Ducard suddenly hit the ice with a sword, the ice broke and Bruce crashed into the black water. Ducard told Bruce that he must always look very carefully at the things around him.
Bruce kept taking lessons with Ducard formany months and learned to fight very well. Then, when Ducard considered that Bruce was ready he challenged him to fight all the Ninjas. Bruce fought all of them successfully and won, winning Ducard’s confidence.
