Christopher Nolan began a whole new film genre with Batman Begins - superhero movies that are intense and artistic as opposed to being light-hearted toy commercials.

This origin story starred Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman and supporting him was a cast full of talented legends which included the late, Dutch actor Rutger Hauer who played an executive at Wayne Enterprises. Hauer went on to blog about his experiences making the film and relayed a funny story about how the filming of his scenes were disrupted by pigeons having sex.

You read that right. Pigeons were being loudly amorous in the ceiling of the studio that Batman Begins was filming in. The noise ruined his scenes and filming had to be delayed several days until the frisky pigeons quietened down. The scenes were reshot and the film did alright in the end.
