10. Caring For Bruce (Batman Begins)
Its OK. Its OK. The first time we meet Gordon is just after the tragic murder of the Waynes. Police are rushing around, dealing with the press and handling potential suspects, but neglecting to look after the poor boy who has just seen both his parents brutally murdered. Batman Begins has been entirely from Bruce Waynes perspective thus far and his parents death has come so suddenly we as an audience feel the full force of it. The camera hangs low, so when Gordon appears at our level, we feel the same relief Bruce does. What stands out is Gordons uncertainty. Hes not confident or even sure of what to say, simply repeating its OK, yet he manages to comfort Bruce (and the viewer) simply by being proactive. You can see the potential of a man who becomes a key player in events. This scene marks the start of Gordon and Bruce Waynes relationship and the moment gets a full emotive pay off in the final film of the trilogy, which features further down the list.
