Batman Begins is definitely one of my favorite Batman movies. I still really like Tim Burton's, but Nolan's vision is more inline with what I enjoy about vigilante hero movies.
for a 2nd there i was trying to google a Batman film by a director named Noland and then I realized it was a typo and got bummed there isnt more Batman films that won't have Pattinson , Wright and Serkis and kravitz cast in it .
Bale going from the emaciated "Machinist" role to Batman is an incredible transformation! Not many actors these days do such drastic weight gain/loss for roles anymore! Probably very unhealthy, but impressive non the less!
Christian Bale is my favorite Batman actor for one big reason: when the Aurora theater shooting happened here in Colorado, he actually came out here with his wife to visit with the victims, and even led a prayer at the memorial that had been set up near the site where the shooting happened. A lot of people like to believe that this happened after someone posted a petition asking him to come, but the timing of his visit led my husband to believe that he had already booked a flight here as soon as he heard the news. I am so glad that he showed up, as it was a very upsetting time for everyone here in Colorado, and not just the Batman fans.
The storytelling in Batman Begins is elegant and brilliant. The flashbacks to Bruce's experiences as a child and as a young man are integrated flawlessly into the film. Moreover, while I would probably have chosen someone else to play Batman, I would have been so wrong. Christian Bale gives an extraordinary performance that proved superheroes could be dramatic and complex; that they don't have to be played with a wink to the audience. Everything about this film is exquisite and I would even say it's even better than The Dark Knight. A lot of people will reflexively rank The Dark Knight as the best of the trilogy, largely because Heath Ledger gave a haunting, method performance. But, well, most good actors can chew scenery. Would Ledger have won an academy award if he had not died after filming? Maybe, but I think his chances would have been much lower because academy voters would have assumed that Ledger had a long career ahead of him and that he would have other brilliant performances that the academy could reward him for. I also think Gotham is just too bright in The Dark Knight. The city just doesn't look as menacing and stylized as it was in Batman Begins. Finally, while the screenplay is fine, it's just not as smooth, exquisite and logical as that of the first film.
A really interesting thing I noticed was that in Nolan's first movie "Following", a door on a characters apartment has the Batman logo AND in "Memento" in the background of a scene of a car leaving a parking garage is a comic book store with a Superman and Batman neon sign.
One of the best Batman movies even today . I went to see it 5 times in the theater. The cast and crew did a great job bringing batman back to the serious and dark tone loved by fans . It also set up a great trilogy for bat fans .
For me Batman Begins is a superior overall movie to The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was incredible in TDK but Batman Begins has a great arc and plot and Bale crushes his performance.
Funny I never met anyone else that felt that way too. It's just an overall better film and I personally feel after begins Bale kind of leans too far into the role with his gravelly voice getting almost inaudible at times. And I liked the suit better in Begins, it's simple and efficient, gets the job done lol.
@@mcwright0178 One of my biggest gripes with the dark knight is the visual aesthetic of the film. In Batman Begins Gotham looks like a comic book setting come to life. Wayne Tower has like a Bronze Top to it, the monorail system looks unique and as those big bronze arches over the tracks not to mention the Narrows looks like a run-down grimey Smoky part of the city. But then when you get to the Dark Knight it just looks like Chicago. Wayne Tower doesn't have the bronze copper pointed top it's just a square black building and you don't even see the monorail system in the whole film. The city just looks too clean in that movie.
TDK would have been better if ledger was another villan made up for the movie.. He wasn't the joker in any way shape or form.. But he was a good villian for the picture.
Besides Ra's al Ghul being middle eastern, not a tall Irish guy. Fun fact, "Ra's" is pronounced "raysh". Ra's al Ghul means "The Demon's Head" in Arabic.
Let's not forget I think Equilibrium helped Bale in some way with Batman Begins. His build, fighting and acting all relate to that first movie. My 2 cents.
It is kind of a shame they never made the Batman Beyond live action movie, I would have liked to have seen the bat costume in action for that one, I always thought the Batman Beyond batsuit looked pretty cool
I always thought that if they made a Batman Beyond live action movie Adam West could have played Bruce Wayne and even done in a way that would not have been "campy" but serious. Due to the fact that Batman had pretty much ruined his career. Although he did later come to terms with it.
There’s no guarantee you would have gotten a faithful rendition of that suit had they ever made that film though. In fact, considering what Batman suits we have gotten in film, compared to what the suit has looked like in print over the years, I’d say it’s safe to assume the accuracy would have left much to be desired, whether you ended up liking or not.
Dont worry. One is in the works. Batman will be a transexual non white male, one of the main villains will be a wannabe be hipster that snorts condoms and eats tide pods to become more powerful.
LOVED BATMAN BEGINS it doesnt get enough love for being great due to how awesome The Dark Knight was. but this was definitely Christian Bale's best performance.
I wasn't a real fan about the last instalment with bane, but definitely batman begins and the dark night with an awesome performance by ledger as the joker
One of my favorite stories about this movie is that Nolan found any excuse he could for Murphy to take the damn glasses off so he could show off those eyes of his.
the girl in Airplane in the coffee scene parody with the line about taking her coffee black, like she takes her men... is the woe begone orphan Penny from Disney's Rescuers film.
I’ve never heard Batman said so many times hahaha. Love your vids man. Always look forward to them. I would love to see you do too 10 things you didn’t know about Congo.
While the first two Burton Batman movies will always be my favorite and Keaton will forever be my Batman, I think Begins is likely the best "Batman" movie in terms of its story and telling the origin of Batman. It doesn't capture the fear and and mythic nature of Batman amongst the press and criminals the way Burton's introduction did, but it's a better all around told story. Pattinson I think is the second best Batman behind Keaton in terms of his portrayal. Bale's voice was just far too exaggerated, and made worse in TDK when they added post production effects to make it deeper.
When you did your bale batman voice and said "ITS GOOOD" I laughed. That's actually 2 now, and it was just a few months ago you made me laugh for the first time. You're getting better!
The Tim Burton first two are my favorite of the batman movies as well, but I also really enjoy Chris Nolans trilogy. Bales heavy metal style batman voice is a bit cheeky but it works. Burtons were more comic book where as Nolans were more grounded in a real world. The others...I don't have anything nice to say.
To be fair they are all good keaton,bale,afleck,not seen the new one so cant say.......but we dont mention the arnie one or clooney one,love val kilmer though,to me he will always be mad mardigan......lol.
I’m pretty confident there were 5 tumblers built. As the guy providing the blueprints to replicate this car in full scale, I’ve researched thousands of reference photos, and on the back of the Tumblers, they are numbered, and one is numbered #5. However I don’t let this take away from another great upload, Minty. Good job sir.
5? i didnt know that, i remember one was only the cab for close up shots and 2 full scale for the action scenes, and one that was made lightweight for the scenes where it was supposed to jump
Crazy to think this movie has been out as long as it has. Incidentally, the highest grossing film of 2005 was Revenge of the Sith. Had to look it up after Minty mentioned this was the 5th highest grossing.😁
we never got that movie because some a-hole parents started a campaing to accuse the film of being too violent, remember those kids saying on camera that they were horrified by the movie? the only thing that even i considered a little violent back then was the batmobile putting on fire the fire breathing clown, and you dont see him burn and or die, you are left to assume he rolled on the snow to put himself out
@@omegarugal9283 Actually, Keaton’s Batman killed quite a few people! Lol. That’s why I was a little surprised over some of the backlash of Aflex Batman for the same thing. SMH. But otherwise, yeah, I kind of remember that too. Such a shame. The franchise completely went downhill after that. Just horrible.
@@judosailor610 the strongman? yeah, offscreen and in a comical way... i find amusing that they tried to shoe horn violence in this movie yet ignoref all the sex innuendos
@@omegarugal9283 I don’t have a problem with violence in the movie, mind you. But there was way more than the strong man. He mows goons down with machine gun fire from the batwing. He blows people up with bombs and missiles. He throws that dude down the bell tower. I’m pretty sure he threw a guy off the roof at one point. And doesn’t he kill the joker? I’m going by memory, but I feel like he grappled him so he’d fall to his death. Anyway, it was indeed pretty violent. It’s just dumb to try and cancel the movie for that reason.
The whole irony of the production is that while Christopher Nolan had the crew watch Blade Runner for inspiration, Tim Burton banned his crew from watching the movie, as he wanted none of its design cues in the 1989 Batman film.
I didn't like the Katie Holmes (don't get me wrong she's a pretty woman but her performance seemed a bit lackluster) I actually preferred Maggie Gyllenhaal's acting in the second movie. The rest of the cast was fantastic.
You showed a clip of Bale drinking water soon after you spoke of his muscle gains but we all know it wasn't water alone that put on that mass, there was plenty of juice too
Hello minty, I like your videos keep them coming. For me I saw Batman begins on my birthday in the theater in the US I turned 26 on June 15th 2005 .I thought it was boring but over the years it grew on me and I like it now . as far as my favorite Batman movie that's definitely a hard decision between the 89 Batman and the 2008 dark Knight those are both excellent movies .
Some Batman backstory...Years ago,the studio wanted Clint Eastwood to be an older Batman/Bruce Wayne to be in a live action Batman Beyond film.Joel Schumacher was going to do a Batman sequel with Val Kilmer and he wanted Jeff Goldblum to be the Scarecrow.There was suppose to be a Jack Nicholson cameo with him being the Joker when Bruce Wayne/Batman is sent to Arkum and that film was called Batman Triumph.Joel Schumacher at one point wanted Marlon Wayans to be Robin.The studio wanted Leonardo Decaprio to be Robin.Hell,the studio wanted Robin Williams to be the Riddler at one point.
"The Dark Knight" was my favorite of the Nolan Batmans. "Begins" is close though and it has one of the best sequel-bait endings of all time. It still gives me goosebumps when Gordon shows him the Joker card and he says "I'll look into it"
I like Begins over TDK. To me, it's the same reason why I prefer Star Wars over Empire Strikes Back - the second movie was arguably stronger but the ending in the first was epic!
Great movie! I love your videos and am looking forward to your review on The Batman 2022 film once I’m able to find four hours of free time. Three hours for the movie, 30 minutes for the previews, and another thirty for possible end credits and leaving the theater 😂.
17:36 "There was actually a lot of hype when Batman Begins came out. Now I know I'm not the only one to mention this, but I people were actually hailing it as the best Batman movie ever. Now, I don't think that was the case. Maybe I"m bias but to me Batman '89 was the better of the two." Minty, you need help. You need to see someone who can help you through your issues and remember... just say no to drugs! The Batman voice was brilliant and practical. Batman wears the mask to protect his loved ones from repercussions. So if he used his regular voice it wouldn't take too long before people could identify who he is without the mask. By disguising his voice, he's also reducing the likelihood of having his secret identity found out. The only surprise is that nobody thought of sooner.
I'd just go and make a video if you feel differently than an established youtube creator . Let me get this straight... minty is jokingly on drugs or def on them because he doesnt agree w/ someone who doesnt make youtube videos and says that others must be on drugs . Thats a pretty serious accusation based off a disagreement in opinion but hey this is the youtube comment section . you do realize that Nolan didnt create and write that . Around the mid 90s batman just used a voice changer so he doesnt sound like he is passing a kidney stone through his throat . Genius !!!
Love your vids, watch every one. Great research, not just reading IMDb to us. You’re not very funny in vid but you seem personable and probably funny irl. I’m still a fan tho. Great work.
YESSS!!!...Thank you for posting this!!! I have been waiting YEARS for you to do BATMAN BEGINS!!! I went to see this when I was 19 years old and I was so excited a NEW Batman movie had finally come out. I was around 10-years old when Batman and Robin came out and I still thought that was cool. Now 36, I was wrong, lol!!! So yes, I am huge Batman fanatic. I LOVED "The Batman" with Robert Pattison, but Christian Bale will always be my generation's Batman when teens could either go to war or go to the movies in the mid 2000s. I chose Batman. I loved how absolutely INSANE the Scarecrow was and I loved how menacing and dark Christopher Nolan made Gotham. They let him have complete creative control (unlike Schumacker) and I truly thought Batman Begins was the GREATEST BAMTAN OF ALL TIME!!! That's debatable. But try to remember life in 2005. There hadnt been a Batman movie in 10-years. Twilight was about to come out (ironically in 2008 with Robert Pattison) and Bat freaks needed this movie. Thank you for posting this. I can die in peace now. Love, a fan!!! :)
I thought this was the best Batman movie. I thought the action scenes were great. I felt it had the superior car chase scene. Nice build up of the character and great twist at the end.
One thing people never point out is how this Bat-suit’s chest emblem doesn’t match the film’s signature “Dark Knight” logo. If you look carefully, the chest emblem is completely different. The Dark Knight changed this with its new suit and a chest emblem that matches. Just an interesting fact.
This BatMan trilogy are definitely thee best BatMans 89 is Good as well But Nolan & Bale knocked all 3 of them out of the park They’re still great to this day
I honestly like Begins more than The Dark Knight because it feels more like a Batman movie and it's actually about Bruce Wayne/Batman, I like Bale's performance in it, I love the Begins suit and atmosphere.
There’s a running joke about how every time a new actor’s announced to play Batman, there’s a public uproar. For the most part, this has been true. But, when Bale was announced for the role, in 2004, everyone collectively said “hell yeah.” The first installment of the Dark Knight Trilogy dropped in 2005, and he never once failed audience expectations. Not the latest or most popular Batman movie. But, to me, Batman Begins is the best one yet.
"10 things...": The Dark Knight _Rises_ next week, either Tuesday 15th or Friday 18th? (TDK video had been presented in 11- 2019 💻 ) Hmm, both Jake and his sister Maggie G might have been in this film, even if they would not share any scenes. (Vis-a-vis Batman/1989) Many more people have compared this to Casino Royale, another one-of-a-kind 'origin story' film (CR/2006 is itself a reboot of the 007 film series after Die Another Day, though, unlike B& R, that film had not been a box office flop!).
I honestly think no one can be a true fan of batman without enjoying the campiness of the 60s and more light versions of batman to appreciate the dark gritty versions and Adam West will always be the first batman the nolan films are some of my favorites
I love the 89 version, but I really love this trilogy…Hardy WAS Bane in my eyes…and Ledger as the Joker? Nothing more needs to be said. Great villains in all three movies!
The success of the dark, melancholy "Batman (89)," which led to the even darker "Batman Returns," that caused outrage by morality groups (and McDonalds) because the film was too dark, violent, (and blue slimy); an outrage that forced the franchise to become a true monstrosity and ultimately collapse. Put this reality together with the successful reboot of "Batman Begins" which returns Batman to the dark, melancholy, and appropriately violenced form that had contributed to the success of Batman on the big screen in the first place; all goes to show a fundamental truth: morality groups are more likely to cause incredible damage than be socially, economically, or even morally helpful; (just look at the U.S. 1920's era of "Prohibition").
That’s why Joel Schumacher took over as director for the remainder of that franchise, because of McDonald’s and their “discomfort” of the Penguin puking up green slime. They couldn’t sell happy meal toys like that
*Better* than The Batman. ✌ Those who say otherwise just have bad memories or are drinking the cool aid. TDK wouldn't have opened *SO BIG* without all the positive buzz that BB built 🦇 It influenced a whole decade of 'gritty reboots'
"They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me." -- Bruce Wayne/Batman
A young Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon) has a small part as the kid who spots Batman in the Narrows before Batman goes into the apartment where Scarecrow lits Batman on fire, and he appears again when Rachel saves him after the fear toxin is released before Batman swoops in and saves them both.
Definitely, my favorite Batman movie. This cast was impeccable. That drunk driver definitely gave off major Russell Casse vibes when it happened.
Maybe not Katie Holmes though. Good in other stuff but not quite in this.
🎵FIGHTING ROUND THE WORLD🎵
I thought it said Russell Crowe.
@@kingloser4198 who did you like better, Katie Holmes or Maggie Gyllenhaal?
@@nsasupporter7557 Personally, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
I wish Scarecrow had a bigger role in these stories. Cillian Murphy is a phenomenal actor and he played the role perfectly.

Your name made me laugh and yes he was a great scarecrow
Yeah he was awesome as Scarecrow.
F.cking Love Scarecrow There could've been so much to use with him too Shame
He should have had a bigger role in part 3
Batman Begins is definitely one of my favorite Batman movies. I still really like Tim Burton's, but Nolan's vision is more inline with what I enjoy about vigilante hero movies.

Bale going from the emaciated "Machinist" role to Batman is an incredible transformation! Not many actors these days do such drastic weight gain/loss for roles anymore! Probably very unhealthy, but impressive non the less!

@@maria.whiddon redid his what?
Going through cycles of weight loss and gain will very likely lead to diabetes. This is probably why you don't get many actors who'll do it.

By far my favorite Batman movie. I just love an origin story, and this movie does it very well. Kudos to Nolan and everyone involved.
So far Bale's iteration of Batman has been my favorite followed my Michael Keaton. I really love that it was more serious and dark.
I'll take Keaton any day..
Loved Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that.
It's just The Tumbler.

Both are among my favorite actors. I'm not huge on super hero movies but this trilogy is one of my favorites

Unfortunately a lot of people sleep on Batman Begins. It’s such an awesome origin story

Incidentally, the highest grossing film of 2005 was Revenge of the Sith. Had to look it up after Minty mentioned this was the 5th highest grossing.😁
All movies have been out as long as they have. 😜
@@M2Mil7er Why yes, but some more than others! 😜
Bonus fact. The guy who plays Zsasz is Tim Booth, lead singer of English Rock band 'James. '
We DO need an R rated batman!!! 🤞🏼🦇
I love the batman credit card and ice puns and Mister Freeze's suit.
Another fun fact: Keaton has said in interviews that had he done a third movie with Tim Burton they were going to do an origin story like Begins.
we never got that movie because some a-hole parents started a campaing to accuse the film of being too violent, remember those kids saying on camera that they were horrified by the movie? the only thing that even i considered a little violent back then was the batmobile putting on fire the fire breathing clown, and you dont see him burn and or die, you are left to assume he rolled on the snow to put himself out
@@omegarugal9283 Actually, Keaton’s Batman killed quite a few people! Lol. That’s why I was a little surprised over some of the backlash of Aflex Batman for the same thing. SMH.
But otherwise, yeah, I kind of remember that too. Such a shame. The franchise completely went downhill after that. Just horrible.
@@judosailor610 the strongman? yeah, offscreen and in a comical way...
i find amusing that they tried to shoe horn violence in this movie yet ignoref all the sex innuendos
@@omegarugal9283 I don’t have a problem with violence in the movie, mind you. But there was way more than the strong man. He mows goons down with machine gun fire from the batwing. He blows people up with bombs and missiles. He throws that dude down the bell tower. I’m pretty sure he threw a guy off the roof at one point. And doesn’t he kill the joker? I’m going by memory, but I feel like he grappled him so he’d fall to his death. Anyway, it was indeed pretty violent. It’s just dumb to try and cancel the movie for that reason.
@@judosailor610 the boycottwas against the 2nd movie....
The whole irony of the production is that while Christopher Nolan had the crew watch Blade Runner for inspiration, Tim Burton banned his crew from watching the movie, as he wanted none of its design cues in the 1989 Batman film.
Casting was spot on. Imagine just 1 of those elements changed.
I didn't like the Katie Holmes (don't get me wrong she's a pretty woman but her performance seemed a bit lackluster) I actually preferred Maggie Gyllenhaal's acting in the second movie. The rest of the cast was fantastic.
6:38 well he did work with Nolan in memento so it’s likely possible
You showed a clip of Bale drinking water soon after you spoke of his muscle gains but we all know it wasn't water alone that put on that mass, there was plenty of juice too
Juice? Oh you mean vitamins right?.......right?🤔🤣🤣
Hello minty, I like your videos keep them coming. For me I saw Batman begins on my birthday in the theater in the US I turned 26 on June 15th 2005 .I thought it was boring but over the years it grew on me and I like it now . as far as my favorite Batman movie that's definitely a hard decision between the 89 Batman and the 2008 dark Knight those are both excellent movies .
This was a perfect movie to kick off the franchise 👏
Some Batman backstory...Years ago,the studio wanted Clint Eastwood to be an older Batman/Bruce Wayne to be in a live action Batman Beyond film.Joel Schumacher was going to do a Batman sequel with Val Kilmer and he wanted Jeff Goldblum to be the Scarecrow.There was suppose to be a Jack Nicholson cameo with him being the Joker when Bruce Wayne/Batman is sent to Arkum and that film was called Batman Triumph.Joel Schumacher at one point wanted Marlon Wayans to be Robin.The studio wanted Leonardo Decaprio to be Robin.Hell,the studio wanted Robin Williams to be the Riddler at one point.
"The Dark Knight" was my favorite of the Nolan Batmans. "Begins" is close though and it has one of the best sequel-bait endings of all time. It still gives me goosebumps when Gordon shows him the Joker card and he says "I'll look into it"
I like Begins over TDK. To me, it's the same reason why I prefer Star Wars over Empire Strikes Back - the second movie was arguably stronger but the ending in the first was epic!
Same
Great movie! I love your videos and am looking forward to your review on The Batman 2022 film once I’m able to find four hours of free time. Three hours for the movie, 30 minutes for the previews, and another thirty for possible end credits and leaving the theater 😂.
17:36 "There was actually a lot of hype when Batman Begins came out. Now I know I'm not the only one to mention this, but I people were actually hailing it as the best Batman movie ever. Now, I don't think that was the case. Maybe I"m bias but to me Batman '89 was the better of the two."
Minty, you need help. You need to see someone who can help you through your issues and remember... just say no to drugs!
The Batman voice was brilliant and practical. Batman wears the mask to protect his loved ones from repercussions. So if he used his regular voice it wouldn't take too long before people could identify who he is without the mask. By disguising his voice, he's also reducing the likelihood of having his secret identity found out. The only surprise is that nobody thought of sooner.
...i cant even watch Batman 89 anymore...uhhhh!
I'd just go and make a video if you feel differently than an established youtube creator . Let me get this straight... minty is jokingly on drugs or def on them because he doesnt agree w/ someone who doesnt make youtube videos and says that others must be on drugs . Thats a pretty serious accusation based off a disagreement in opinion but hey this is the youtube comment section .
you do realize that Nolan didnt create and write that . Around the mid 90s batman just used a voice changer so he doesnt sound like he is passing a kidney stone through his throat . Genius !!!
It was neither brilliant nor practical; WAY too dramatic and over the top. You could easily disguise your voice without being that extreme
This is such a perfect origin movie. I never really liked batman until this movie made him just so cool. It's the best batman movie, hard to beat.
The Best Batman movie - period! ☝️
Too bad they botched the other two up. It could have been a glorious trilogy otherwise!!
Love your videos Minty! You always make my day better after watching.
Just in time for breakfast! Thanks, Minty.
Can't they kill me before breakfast?
Love your vids, watch every one. Great research, not just reading IMDb to us.
You’re not very funny in vid but you seem personable and probably funny irl. I’m still a fan tho. Great work.
Thanks for the content sir! 🙏❤️✌️
YESSS!!!...Thank you for posting this!!! I have been waiting YEARS for you to do BATMAN BEGINS!!! I went to see this when I was 19 years old and I was so excited a NEW Batman movie had finally come out. I was around 10-years old when Batman and Robin came out and I still thought that was cool. Now 36, I was wrong, lol!!! So yes, I am huge Batman fanatic. I LOVED "The Batman" with Robert Pattison, but Christian Bale will always be my generation's Batman when teens could either go to war or go to the movies in the mid 2000s. I chose Batman. I loved how absolutely INSANE the Scarecrow was and I loved how menacing and dark Christopher Nolan made Gotham. They let him have complete creative control (unlike Schumacker) and I truly thought Batman Begins was the GREATEST BAMTAN OF ALL TIME!!! That's debatable. But try to remember life in 2005. There hadnt been a Batman movie in 10-years. Twilight was about to come out (ironically in 2008 with Robert Pattison) and Bat freaks needed this movie. Thank you for posting this. I can die in peace now. Love, a fan!!! :)
I thought this was the best Batman movie. I thought the action scenes were great. I felt it had the superior car chase scene. Nice build up of the character and great twist at the end.
Great work Sir. Thank you for this retrospective.
One thing people never point out is how this Bat-suit’s chest emblem doesn’t match the film’s signature “Dark Knight” logo.
If you look carefully, the chest emblem is completely different.
The Dark Knight changed this with its new suit and a chest emblem that matches.
Just an interesting fact.
Same with the 1989 logo
4:22 I agree we need an R-Rated Batman.
I enjoy the Nolan films, especially the Dark Knight.
Getting drunk and CRASHING into the BATMOBILE thinking it's an Alien Ship would be THE MOST AWESOME BAR STORY EVER.
Big fan. Felt like DC first and own x men movie. 1 and 2 are classics and 3 is just ok
This BatMan trilogy are definitely thee best BatMans
89 is Good as well
But Nolan & Bale knocked all 3 of them out of the park
They’re still great to this day
2005 is also the same year an overlooked Disney family film ‘Sky High’ came out. Have a look at that
I always expected that to be a stoner film until I saw it. It's really pretty good.
I liked Sky High until the twist. But a line said by one minor character was self-referential, and funny.
It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me. Memorable line!!!!!!! Love bale best one behind Keaton
The Nolan Trilogy is the GOLD STANDARD! That being said, I highly enjoyed The Batman 2022 and honestly found Robert Pattinson to be an awesome Batman!
Nolan’s is 100% better.
BatPat is better than Dark Knight Rises, but lesser than Begins/TDK in my view.
Just saw this great vid - I hope Nolan & Bale team up and do more even Nolan with man of steel 2
Take a shot every time minty says Bayman! 😂😂😂
Another great video, Mark.
I honestly like Begins more than The Dark Knight because it feels more like a Batman movie and it's actually about Bruce Wayne/Batman, I like Bale's performance in it, I love the Begins suit and atmosphere.
The Dark Knight covered a lot of plot and character for its running time. Begins flows better as a movie in my opinion.
Well done & congrats on 400k on your channel brilliant 💪💪💪
Best pure Batman film in the trilogy. As far as best individual performance is concerned however, Heath's Joker is untouchable in TDK... RIP
There’s a running joke about how every time a new actor’s announced to play Batman, there’s a public uproar. For the most part, this has been true. But, when Bale was announced for the role, in 2004, everyone collectively said “hell yeah.” The first installment of the Dark Knight Trilogy dropped in 2005, and he never once failed audience expectations. Not the latest or most popular Batman movie. But, to me, Batman Begins is the best one yet.
"10 things...": The Dark Knight _Rises_ next week, either Tuesday 15th or Friday 18th?
(TDK video had been presented in 11- 2019 💻 )
Hmm, both Jake and his sister Maggie G might have been in this film, even if they would not share any scenes.
(Vis-a-vis Batman/1989) Many more people have compared this to Casino Royale, another one-of-a-kind 'origin story' film (CR/2006 is itself a reboot of the 007 film series after Die Another Day, though, unlike B& R, that film had not been a box office flop!).
I honestly think no one can be a true fan of batman without enjoying the campiness of the 60s and more light versions of batman to appreciate the dark gritty versions and Adam West will always be the first batman the nolan films are some of my favorites
Actually the first actor to play Batman was Lewis Wilson in 1943. West was in reality the 3rd actor to have the part

Great Job Minty. Begins is my #3, #1 89, #2 Dark Knight. I have ot say the Nolan trillogy reignited my enthusiasm.
I love the 89 version, but I really love this trilogy…Hardy WAS Bane in my eyes…and Ledger as the Joker? Nothing more needs to be said. Great villains in all three movies!
I would've loved to see Jack Nicholson do the Pencil "Magic Trick" instead of that 50,000 volt joy buzzer
Love n enjoy your channel Minty. Can you go old school n do Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston n Yul Brynner
Great video!!!👍
Minty, I live for ur content... I love ur vids dude
The success of the dark, melancholy "Batman (89)," which led to the even darker "Batman Returns," that caused outrage by morality groups (and McDonalds) because the film was too dark, violent, (and blue slimy); an outrage that forced the franchise to become a true monstrosity and ultimately collapse. Put this reality together with the successful reboot of "Batman Begins" which returns Batman to the dark, melancholy, and appropriately violenced form that had contributed to the success of Batman on the big screen in the first place; all goes to show a fundamental truth: morality groups are more likely to cause incredible damage than be socially, economically, or even morally helpful; (just look at the U.S. 1920's era of "Prohibition").
That’s why Joel Schumacher took over as director for the remainder of that franchise, because of McDonald’s and their “discomfort” of the Penguin puking up green slime. They couldn’t sell happy meal toys like that
Great episode like always. The knock off Batman is hilarious. Shatman. What a movie that could be the shatmobile, shatterang and the shatcave.
*Better* than The Batman. ✌ Those who say otherwise just have bad memories or are drinking the cool aid. TDK wouldn't have opened *SO BIG* without all the positive buzz that BB built 🦇 It influenced a whole decade of 'gritty reboots'
Actually TDK would have been an OK movie had Heath not died
If you don't agree with me, and think as I do.. You're drinking the "cool aid".. Says every mind knumbing mooseknuckle on the planet.. Kool-aid btw..
"They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me." -- Bruce Wayne/Batman
Liam's a bad guy 😱😭 thanks for the spoiler 🤣😂 only joking
A young Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon) has a small part as the kid who spots Batman in the Narrows before Batman goes into the apartment where Scarecrow lits Batman on fire, and he appears again when Rachel saves him after the fear toxin is released before Batman swoops in and saves them both.
