1) Buddhists do not believe in reincarnation, they believe in rebirth.

2) Buddhists do not concern themselve with what is beyond death -- no life -- no death.

Cosmic Onesness is not a mystery -- it is merely a fact of existence. You can discover it sitting wherever you are at the moment. There are no central mysteries.

More imporantly, can you accept yourself as the Buddha dude?

Also, avoid BATMAN BEGINS -- a paeon to vigiliantism. No progressive dollars should be spilled.
