I'm quite certain that's exactly how he trained in the comics (including training with the league of assassins if I'm not mistaken).
You've never read Dark Knight Returns have you? Or Batman Year One for that matter? Batman Begins was based heavily off of Frank Miller's best work with the character, which included taking a darker and grittier slant with him. Something that Batman Begins also did better than the other Batman movies. Burton's films were dark in the usual surreal sense that most of his movies are dark, but there was far to much camp in them for me to think of them as actually giving a dark portrayal to the character.big military tanks and "realism" for all you lot who think Batman Begins was the best Batman movie.
Oh yeah, and he gave him a tank for the Batmobile.
