That's because people similar to Kevin Smith didn't follow the adult love story and got fixated on the immature superhero tropes like the secret identity.
The true essence of Batman. He can never just lay down, fall in love and live good. He has a job to do that never stops. And he sacrifices being alone to fight for justice. 🦇🦇🦇
Yeah. I can't blame the guy for wanting to have a relationship with a woman. But he honestly can't and should stop trying. Because "his job" is just too important, and more important than them. And every time he ends up breaking their hearts, and he himself feels empty (emotionally). I recall this one BTAS episode where he falls in love with a woman and was going to marry her, so he decided he had to give up being the Bat. Tho at the end it was a trick and gives up on the marriage and becomes the Bat once again. Even Spiderman faces this with Mary Jane. Which is why in SpiderMan 2, even tho he tried giving up being Spiderman to be with her, he soon realizes he CAN'T stop being Spidey! And yet he passes her off again. Tho, I do like what they did there, as MJ decided he's worth the risk to be with. With Batman however, it goes MUCH deeper than that with all the childhood scars he carries. He's waaaaaay more obsessed and dark than good 'ol Spidey! Even love can't fully fix him.
@@lisardo That and every connection Batman makes with someone means a potential target for the villains. It's particularly a weakness for Superman besides Kryptonite: His love and compassion for human beings, which is exploited multiple times by the villains he fights.
The amazing depth behind Bruce thinking that being Batman is his "work", as opposed to being a millionaire playboy. So fascinating to see the subtle details that Burton threw in.
I was thinking about this scene and I find you here. I wish Burton would've directed Forever and Robin. Keaton and Burton had good chemistry together making movies.
One of the best scenes in the whole movie and the whole movie was pretty good. It's definitely my top Batman movie. I especially love the part where Bruce says, "But he's (the Joker) out there right now...and it's time for me to go to WORK."
“…I’d like to. But he’s out there right now, and I’ve got to go to work…” Brilliant scripting! The same line I use when my wife wants me to feed the dog.
giant gothic styled brooding vault is a way better storage for the batsuit than some lame looking high tech container. This is true Batman. Bruce Wayne literally locks away his true self until needed.
I love this scene. I love how when he says its just something I have to do, she asks why he says because nobody else can. I always wish people in power would say the same heroes generally do.
love that exchange; cant cant any better (this movie and the dark knight are the two best batman movies ever made, hands down) Vicki: Are we going to try and love each other? Bruce: I'd like to...but he's out there right now...and I have to go to work. Flawless!
@@sandernielsen8018 - It's there. Maybe not at the level you wanted, but i distinctly remember how good Maggie Gyllenhaal looked in the scene from TDK on the rooftop of Wayne's penthouse before the party. "Don't ask me to wait for you..." This sounds more like nostalgia talking.
this is why Keaton was Burtons choice to play Batman...he's Batman even without the suit...''this is the way it is...''the goofy guy at the first scene of Bruce,is his mask...
Vicky: I just gotta know, We gonna try to love each other. Bruce: I liked to, but he's out there right now and I gotta go to work. =Turns on the gaming console slowly= =Gaming chair= =Headset with mic= =Game face= IM VENGEANCE Lmfao!!
Maybe it's just because I grew up with Burton's Batman, but this scene hits me way harder than anything they did with the relationship between Batman and Rachel in the TDK trilogy. It just seems to say so much more without really saying anything. Far preferable to the interminable philosophy seminars in Nolan's (admittedly great) movies.
@Rebecca-oh5yh That's a good point. There's a kink to Burton's Batman that is totally absent in Nolan's. I'd also add to the original comment above that the difference between Burton's films and Nolan's is an expressionist bent: Burton visualizes thematic and psychological elements while Nolan verbalizes them. The former is very arguably more cinematic and sophisticatd.
this scene, it felt the connection, the relief, emotions of these persons. this wasn't a movie scene. It felt real in my eyes! it was my favourite scene of this movie
“ He’s out there right now, and I gotta go to work”- simple little words and yet delivered so immaculately. I wish I could go back to this era and tell all the people who didn’t want Keaton as Batman to shove it!😂
This scene is proof that Bruce Wayne is just a normal person, thrust into abnormal situations, due to the circumstances which both shaped and determined his ultimate destiny.
What I love about this scene is that it says "Rich billionaire industrialist" is basically a side job; his real one is the Dark Knight. His love life and relationship with Vicky will have to wait; the people of Gotham and stopping the Joker come first.
"He's out there right now and I've got to go to work". Keaton is the goat Batman. He set the standard giving Batman the whispering voice everyone else copied that after he started it. Before that , Adam West and the cartoons Bruce Wayne and Batman both sounded the same. There was no distinguishing voice differences between the two characters. Christopher Reeve did the same for Clark Kent and Superman. Giving characters two different voices and personas.
one of the most romantic scenes in history. suberb writing, marvelous acting, excellent directing, wonderful music. i'm sorry for those who didn't like it! Alfred let Vicki in because Bruce was going to tell her the truth.
Great scene. Great music. Unfortunately though, it makes me think about someone who I care about but can’t have a future with. Very similar to Bruce and his feelings for Vicki.
I know just about everyone hates this scene but if you were paying attention during the rest of the film, it does make sense. Alfred probably assumed that Bruce had told Vicki the truth because of that conversation they had before Bruce went to her apartment. And, on top of that, Knox had just shown Vicki the newspaper story about Bruce's parents and she immediately figured out the big secret. So, when she goes to the batcave, she's not surprised because she already figured it all out.
I like how Keaton does his voice in this scene. It's not his Batman voice, but it's not his slightly awkward Bruce Wayne voice from earlier in the film. This is a blend of both, a perfect middle ground. He's Bruce Wayne, but he's also very Batman here, controlled, self-assured, confident, absolutely serious. The Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan movies were near perfect, but one of the things that irritated me even back in the 2000s was that gravely, growling voice that Bale does when he's Batman. Keaton never did that kind of over the top acting.
I prefer Micheal's Bruce Wayne over Christian's Bruce Wayne. Micheal's Bruce Wayne is more quite, Mild-manner person who buys art and has a lot on his mind. That adds mystery to the character. Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne's is an Outspoken, Over Exumptious Playboy. It was okay in the first film, but it fell short by the time it got to the third film.
If I was Vicky Vale and this creepy old butler was like "i want to show you something ma'am, please step into this shady-ass secret door to the basement" I would book the fuck outta there.
She was mentioned by Bruce when he was with Selina Kyle in Batman Returns. It didn't work out between Vicky and him. It seemed like he was really falling in love with Selina more than Vicky.
My thoughts exactly. Though, maybe he also meant that nobody else has the resources to do what he is able to do because most people aren't filthy rich billionaires like he is.
And Keaton was known as a comedy guy before taking this role, which makes his performance even more amazing! He was the best choice although few people thought so when he was first cast.
After watching this scene a live action Batman beyond movie with Michael Keaton as old man Bruce needs to happen before he dies come on WB make it happen!
@@darkzq - Funny, considering the Batman '89 comic (written by Sam Hamm) does the exact same thing with the Billy Dee Williams version of the character.

Yes. The Batcave was right near where she knew Wayne Manor was. She was intimate with the man. She knew him. She saw his bat-like habits (like his tendency to hang upside down).

Anyone else notice that Prince's "Scandalous" is playing in the background of this scene? Damn! I love the Batman album! R.I.P Prince
Of course! Prince was one of the Greatest!
An instrumental version, yes.
It played throughout the film
This wasn't Prince. It was Danny Elfman's piece. Prince had his own album for this. Thus this movie had 2 soundtracks.
Come on, dude. Study up. Prince did the whole soundtrack, except for Danny Elfman's orchestration.
"it doesn't have to be a perfect world," i cry a little each time she says that. 1:17

And to think, many people petitioned to block Keaton from playing this role. Shame! He killed it.
