Revealing mistake: Near the end of the scene, when Bruce and Fox are in the tumbler Fox says "We never could get the damn bridge to work, but this baby works just fine" then Bruce turns the wheel to the left but the tumbler turns right. (00:57:45)
Batman Begins (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Katie Holmes, Ken Watanabe
Henri Ducard is the real Ra's Al Ghul. He plans to destroy Gotham by contaminating the water supply with the Scarecrow's poison, then vapourising the water with the microwave emitter. Wayne manor is razed to the ground, but Bruce and Alfred escape into the Batcave. Batman saves the day with Jim Gordon's help, while Rachel gets to know Batman's true identity (not to mention that she tasers the Scarecrow during the chaos). Lucius Fox is appointed head of Wayne Enterprises when Bruce takes control of most of the stock. The ending sets up the sequel, with the Joker as Batman's next opponent.

Bruce Wayne: I'm going to show the people of Gotham that the city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt. People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy. I can't do this as Bruce Wayne. A man is just flesh and blood and can be ignored or destroyed. But as a symbol... As a symbol, I can be incorruptible, everlasting.
Trivia: Some people wanted the Batmobile to be computer generated, but director Christopher Nolan refused, so it was built from scratch. It can do 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Question: Shouldn't Bruce be as insane as Falcone? Unless the dosages delivered to Batman and Falcone, respectively, were different. Also, why didn't Rachel yell and scream and go crazy like Falcone did when he was hit?
Answer: Also he had taken it before, earlier in the mountains.
Answer: Bruce was thoroughly trained to deal with fear. It's likely he'd be able to hold his mind together better than most.

Answer: Bruce is just as infected as Falcone, however he is rescued by Alfred shortly after he is poisoned and given an antidote by Lucius shortly after that. He is then bedridden for many hours. If he had not been saved as quickly as he was, he no doubt would have been a blubbering mass just like Falcone. The reason Rachel and even Bruce don't react the same as Falcone the moment they are poisoned comes down to how each individual person reacts to fear: Bruce tries to fight, Rachel faints, Falcone screams in horror.
