We re-watched Batman Begins last night. I tell you what, Dark Knight's got a lot to live up to. Begins is a great movie. I think it does an excellent job of carrying the "fear" theme all the way through, with characters and story that serves the theme and makes a point. It wasn't an overbearing message movie while still having a salient enough point to warrant grandiose comic book dialog and story (as in "your parents were perfect, captains of industry, level headed family folk, adored by all, sacrificed everything for a city that ultimately killed them and were happy to do so, and oh by the way supported the freaking underground railroad. Live up to THAT, douchebag!").
