Tim Burton makes dark movies yes, but Begins was darker than the original Batman and very true to the comic.

I guess I could see that the Burton one had a lot of comedy, I mean the joker was a big satire of villains right?

Now was "Begins" true to the comic as far as his East Asian roots are concerned or was that embellished? That by far was the most interesting part of the movie.

I think it is pretty accurate, although interestingly, the comics never spent a lot of time on Bruce Wayne's life before he became Batman. But I'm 99% certain its canon that he trained in martial arts in the Far East.
