    I don’t know how to process the Burton films being related to the Schumacher films…they’re completely different tonally, stylistically, and overall just creatively very two different perspectives on Batman’s world. Like they have some of the same actors and kinda super vaguely reference the Burton films…and Batman unchained was gonna have Joker, Catwoman, and Penguin return with the same actors. Like are they part of the same canon?…like I can’t accept yes or no the whole thing is just very weird.

      Not exactly. Certain lines from the Schumacher films directly reference the Burton films such as: "Robin: Your family wasn't killed by a maniac. Batman: Yes, they were." (This confirms that Joker is still the killer of Batman's parents) "You make the kill but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face and another and another until one terrible morning, you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life and you won't know why." (This is Batman's way of confessing how he killed Joker and Penguin. At the same time, he couldn't save Catwoman from blowing up herself and Max Schreck) "Chase Meridian: You like strong women??? I've done my homework or do I need a skin tight vinyl and a whip? Batman: I haven't had much luck with women." (This references Batman's failed relationships with both Catwoman and Vicki Vale.)

    I beg to differ from you because the film itself does both show but explain why that Batman kills and in such a reckless way; "The fear, rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men cruel." "People are living in fear..." "Breath! This smell is fear! You aren't brave: men are brave." He didn't kill because it was cool but because he was desperate. At the very beginning of the movie he was put in an impossible situation never seen before (by him at least) where everyone he's lived and worked with were being killed with the Metropolis and the whole world being torn apart altogether. He wasn't merely afraid: he was desperate! And those who stood in his way were mere obstacles. And that was one of the best and interesting parts of how the movie showed an interesting contradiction: an inhumane man against a humane alien. However I agree that he wasn't portrayed questioning his actions after Superman's death when he realized he's failed with his own beliefs and that would be an interesting way to bring him back to the Batman we know.

I would much prefer to see him incapacitate people by breaking their limbs and such, as it’s more realistic and also stylish. I’ve just always thought a shot of Batman catching someone he’s rendered unconscious and lowering them to the ground would look super cool and also kinda scary. Idk.

      In fact in *lethal* Batman comics by Gardner Fox (ie guy that actually gave him his first gadgets including batarang) he used sleep gas bombs (when he could) for a reason, If he wanted to take person non lеthally. Simply because it was time before multiple generations of people were pozzed with notion that violence can ever be perfectly safe. Especially violence administered by human without x ray vision and faster than speeding bullet reflexes to have any real control of force administered in a critical moment. There's a reason why in 1941 Ellsworth didn't just bаnned kills and kills with guns, but also extensive bеatings and kidnаps and torturе. It's funny when Zack is criticized by "fans" of comics that don't care about no kill code in Avengers movies (they have one too in comics since beginning and even in Superior Spider-Man it was important issue), while Zack (maybe Nolan and Reeves too) is The only director not pretending that violence or killing is a light concept that isn't worthy of any sort of attention. In MCU they literally quip after that (which Batman and Superman, and Robin DID in original pre 1941 comics, but DC Comics characters =\= Marvel characters, there's no post Avengers Captain America comics with Steve cracking lighthearted one after throwing brainwashed good guy from helicarrier, *even Ultimate Steve * didn't do that) And only one director to ever make truly non lethal superhero by All of her fights was Patty Jenkins in Wonder Woman 84 (but not in 2017). Which is also actually true to the very concept of the character by her actual creators, unlike this notion that Superman or Batman never nixed anyone or never Attempted to or that they both would rather place Their own feelings over safety of the people or safety of their own, which was never true for either creator's vision, maybe only for Finger in particular after Actually 100% non lethal 1941-1969 period in comics. Killings resumed in Bronze Age and Wonder Woman killed anyone for the first time only in Bronze Age either, nowhere earlier.

    He doesn't show remorse because he's not intentionally deciding their fate in those scenes wanting them to die and so it's not on him, he is neutralising them and in some scenes like when saving Martha " has no other choice " like u said about Bale version , also he did blow up the whole league of shadows base to save himself . Batman's actions inherently cross the line of masnslaughter as far as morality goes . Snyder's version was essentially just more brutal in BVS after Robin's death on top of years of crimefighting weighing him down , while being okay with manslaughter like other batmen , with his first cold blooded murder being superman which he doesn't go through with and comes back from the brink . The others are essentially not him deciding their fate but them themselves as there was an immediate need to put them down whether one argues less brutal methods could be just as efficient or not . If he was intentionally finishing off criminals rather than just being okay with manslaughter he'd have k*lled Joker already , why is he still alive in future ? This is practically just like Bale but more brutal in terms of violence , he is okay with the deaths he ends up causing in a fight due to some immediate objective while not exactly wanting to as a punishment or judgement of someone's fate taking the absolute authority over life and death , again the first of that was going to be superman which he didn't go through with .

    The question you should be asking is: Why does the movie think its OK for batman to kill people? The short answer is the movie doesn't. Zach Snyder is putting Batman ideals to the test (your clip is asking that very question) like superman killing zad in Man of Steel. Snyder isn't a fan arbitrary rules. Rules for super heroes in a REAL world context are not bullet poof and he exploring them. The other question you should be asking is "Should people like Batman?" Ex:(in BvS - Alford and Bruce talking over the newspaper "Bat brand of justice!") so with that context and the Batman lore according to Bruce Wayne is Batman needs to be feared not Idolized. Batman isn't a Hero HES A Threat. He want to get rid of crime by force, to negotiate with crime with the only language it understands. In order to send that message and to become so feared he gonna have to hospitalize everyone that he sets his eyes on, and This also happens to be the only way a REAL life Batman would be able to put down a whole room of bad guys and make them stay down by making it physically impossible to get back up. The first issues of Batman are of him killing people with guns and other methods; his "CODE" doesn't come till like the sixties, because of the comic code authorities put a cap on the murdering. Then 30 years of Batman being kid friendly. That has to be over come and those thoughts have to be thrown out. But you would need to ask the question in a real world setting. What kind of person would a REAL Batman have to be? That part of the reason why this Batman is so thug-ish its keeping in line sprit of what Batman is. Which comes from Frank Miller himself. What also comes from Frank is Batman's care free attitude in indirectly killing of bad guys. If the Bad guys are associating with a thing that happens to blow up that not on him. So about the last part of the clip I think that irrelevant, the context is still there. Batman broke his code with using and killing a guy with a gun. Later in that same comic he swears off guns like he didn't just get done using one. And at the end of the comic he blames Jokers murders on his own inability to end the joker he then kills the Joker. To me the Dark knight is a commentary on how Batman lives in the minds of readers who still believe that Batman can BEAT people to a pulp every night and get away with it without killing anybody. without getting sick of putting away bad guys like joker away night after night and have the joker escape over and over to kill and hurt innocent people. His legend and his RULES of Batman are as much of a denial as the Jokers impossible suicide. This is the idea that Zack is Going for. that Batman's rationalization process that he goes though to convince himself of its not his problem if a guy gets blown up by his own grenade. Frank said "that his action are a results of his character being as old as his cranky legend."

    Batman literally snapped the Joker’s neck in Dark Knight Returns-if you notice throughout the book, Batman is the only character that has gray speech/thought bubbles… that is until the Joker is laying on the ground in the amusement park after Batman beat him to a pulp. At that point, the Joker’s speech bubbles appear gray. This indicates that this entire conversation is made up in Batman’s head. He killed the joker, but justifies his killing of the Joker by imagining that it was actually the Joker that snapped his own neck.

      And that is your opinion but if so it’s still hard for him to do such a thing and it’s at the very end of his Batman persona he is old. But I still hate this. It ignores the basics of the character.

      Couldn't you make the argument that this was just an artistic choice to further draw parallels between Batman and the Joker? I think its an interesting theory and it works well, I just always interpreted it to further prove Joker's point that they aren't so different. I honestly go back and forth on this theory myself because on one hand, I think the story works better if he doesn't kill the Joker, but on the other hand it's really compelling. That being said, it's a far cry and (if true) a far more interesting story beat than anything Snyder did for Batman. I think in a universe where batman is openly committing murders, Joker wouldn't still be alive, and this is the case in the DCEU.

    Actually, no. Warner Bros. has established that the Burton and Schumacher films are NOT in the same continuity. The comic Batman '89 directly follows up from where Batman Returns leaves off. It, for all intents and purposes, is the third Tim Burton Batman film.

    • @SameBatChannel

      The rules for what’s canon and not canon are a little bit looser than that. I think of that more as an alternate timeline since Sam Hamm, who was the screenwriter for the original Burton Batman movies, wrote it but Burton had nothing to do with it. It was all Sam. Burton did produce the first Schumacher movie though. It would be like saying, Gotham Knight is a part of the Nolan universe. Warner Brothers marketed it as part of the Nolan universe and the writer of Batman Begins, wrote one of the shorts, but Christopher Nolan had nothing to do with it.

      @@SameBatChannel That's true, but WB has recently officially said the Schumacher films aren't canon to the Burton ones (and, honestly, I'm happy they did that. The Schumacher films suck). Also, Burton's an in-name-only producer credit. He had nothing to do with the movie, but WB credited him to get butts in seats. Burton was much more involved with the story for Returns than he was the original. The story for Returns was written by Daniel Waters (with Wesley Strick doing uncredited punch-ups and edits here and there) with Burton contributing ideas. Sam Hamm did write an early script for the movie, but Burton rejected it. Hamm got credit because the Penguin and Catwoman were in his original draft.
