    Batman Begins is so underrated. First film to show Bruce take 7 years overseas living as a criminal, learning how to fight and understand how criminals think. Explained his suit & weapons.

      I always thought Batman Begins was the most Batman-y film of the trilogy and rewatching it recently just reminded me how impeccably done the whole film was. Everything from the exploration of Bruce/Batman's psychologies and why he doesn't kill, to the depiction of a more stylized, gothic Gotham and the comicbooky aspects to its plot and villains that still were all kept it all grounded, it was perfectly done.

      I won't say it's underrated but definitely overlooked compared to TDK now which while I agree is a better film, it's not as nearly as good of a Batman movie as he gets overshadowed by the plot and the villains a lot.

    I put The Batman over The Dark Knight partially because it is the first film to make me really love the character of Batman even more than his amazing Villains. Paul Dano's Riddler was nearly as good as Heath Ledger's Joker, not to mention how good Falcone and Penguin were in this movie, but Robert Patinson became my favourite iteration of Batman in just one movie. Looking forward to seeing it again soon!

    Batman Gotham Knight was the first adult novel I ever read and what truly got me into reading books. The novelization was much better than the film and felt more cohesive and connected to The Dark Knight. I also read it picturing the movie and not multiple art styles. So this film will always have a special place in my heart because it got me into reading.

      @@AustinBurke I don't know, I don't dislike Katie Holmes in the film, and I know I'm in the minority. I'm also in the VAST minority that I didn't like Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman. I thought she was annoying and served nothing to the plot but to make it more convoluted. I guess the way you see Batman Begins with Katie Holmes is the way I see The Batman with Zoe Kravitz. When it comes to The Batman, I love Pattinson (he might overtake Bale someday as the best Batman), I love the Riddler, (I think he is an INCREDIBLE modern and grounded villain) I love the plot and its twist, I love Falcone, and I love Gordon, I just don't care two craps about Zoe Kravitz or her place in the story. We're a couple of weird opposites lol. By the way, love the content, keep it up.

      The Dark Knight Returns is amazing! Similar to Logan, I like when a superhero character is explored in an older and wiser stage in their life and are forced to reflect on their past. No longer being in their prime, with death creeping up, and are forced to come out of retirement and embrace who they truly are, because it’s all they’ve ever known.

    Haven't seen Batman (1966) yet but might one day. No plans on ever watching the Schumacher ones. I have no intention to seek out the straight to DVD ones but I'm open to the idea of catching one if I get the chance. I still think it's a little silly to include Justice League movies on a Batman list, and I will continue not to do so.

    I agree with your Top 3 for sure!
    The Batman is very very good, but at times it does drag a bit….my first and even second viewing were fine, but after that, you do start to notice the runtime. The car chase scene is literally one of the best action scenes I’ve seen in a while too! There is just so much good in this movie but in the end, no no matter how you try to spin it, The Batman is a slow burn. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it does hurt it to an extent when it comes to repeat viewings. Same thing with the movie Zodiac….I love that movie but I don’t watch it often due to it’s pacing. I have to be in the right mood and have energy for it. Also, one last thing, I do believe The Batman has way less suspense than The Dark Knight. Joker in TDK was so sporadic that you didn’t know wether whatever he threw at Batman would end on a good note. While The Riddler was menacing, he followed a pattern and didn’t stray from it.
    One last thing and this is a technical one, but the fact that portions of TDK were shot in IMAX also elevates the film. Nothing beats seeing the intro to the film or the transferring of Harvey Dent to prison fully take over the towering IMAX screen. When I saw The Batman in IMAX I really wished it could of had that privilege. Sadly, it didn’t.

    Katie Holmes wasn't replaced by nolan because of the critiques.
    Nolan told Business Insider in 2016, “Katie wasn’t available for the role, which I wasn’t very happy about, but these things happen, and I was very, very fortunate that Maggie was able to take it over.”

    Under the Red Hood, Batman The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and 2 , Justice League Apokolips War, Batman SubZero, Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Assault on Arkham, Batman Year One and Batman Beyond Return of the Joker are incredible Batman Animated Films! I also have a soft spot for Batman V Dracula! I always re-watch it on the halloween! I think the movie is great, not just because of the nostalgia reasons even tho that does play a big part on why I love the film, but it's so fun and quite creepy at times.

    I know it just came out, but I would place The Batman at the number 1 spot. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love The Dark Knight, but where The Batman succeeds at the most is giving each and every character a chance to shine, where in The Dark Knight, the Joker takes everyone’s spotlight. Also, the detective/film noir and horror aspects really fit Batman and Gotham the most.

  • @colinboer5444
    @colinboer5444 2 роки тому

    I agree with everything on this list except for 2 rankings, I think Red Hood is easily better than any of the other animated movies and even better than TDK Rises and Batman begins. I get it’s hard to compare animation to live action but the story is just better. I would put it at 3rd instead of 7th. And I thinks The Batman is just a better movie than The Dark Knight. It’s a tough call sine The Batman is so new but I think the performances, action, and overall story is just a bit better than The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is great but I think it doesn’t do as much for me as The Batman, which is saying a lot because I grew up on that movie and have it in a special place in my heart. I think the only area The Dark Knight beats The Batman are the villains. Joker and Two Face are fantastic and are my favorite parts of that movie but I feel take the focus off of Bruce and his story. I also feel like the Christian Bale’s Batman didn’t really go through the stages Batman does in the comics. Like with Pattinson we got the younger angrier Bruce who can’t see the bigger picture and just wants to be vengeance and a symbol of fear and through out the movie has to learn that being a symbol of hope is more impactful than fear. Where I feel The Dark Knight just doesn’t have that type of impact. You do have being what ever Gotham needs me to be at the end but it’s just not the same as Batman at the end of the Batman doing what he does(not trying to spoil but if you’ve seen the movie you should know what I’m talking about). It’s an instance of show don’t tell that works beautifully.
