Tim Burton Created the Ultimate Batman Films.
would ppl just shut up already about "burton made penguin a freak"?? thats what he is in the comics, and please dont tell me he is a "normal looking falcone-type". i dont kno what comics you guys are readin, but the penguin is a freak of nature looking weird mutha. plus, penguin has had many interpretations other then just "classy prude". burton made the penguin........the penguin. sorry if im not a comic "purist" or "uber-fanboy", but i like to keep and open mind when it comes to character interpretation. im not all gonna critisize an awsome movie that was well made just cuz "penguin was scary and weird". i read comics and, well, thats what he is. i dont understand what all this BS is about, its a MOVIE. of course there gonna change the characters a bit to accomdate a movie so that ppl will actually be interested in it instead of the bore-fest penguin from the comics. if they made penguin EXACTLY like the comics, he would have been boring and sucked. simple as that. nobody wants to see a falcone-wannabe mob loser. we get that sh** all the time. burton gave us something a hell of a lot more memorable and alot more interesting and plus, he was all about the art. cool thing about burton is, hes not gonna bend all the way over for the dumb fanboys who you could pretty much never please, so whats the point? nolan bowed to the fanboys...partially....and nopw everyone kisses the ground he walks on. he made batman (and his villians) boring as heck. i dont see anything interesting about them. but burton.....he made the BEST villians possible and made them very interesting and guess what? its cuz he WASNT a comic ass**** fanboy like all you whiners. ppl gotta stop bashin burton and his ideas, cuz both his movies were huge successes and just about everyone (who ISNT a fanboy mind you) likes them. they like it then (obviously, both films made millions of dollars) and are actually cosidered classics nowadays. wow. burton is the man, he did what many ppl just cant do: make a good,. interesting, FUN AND EXCITING Batman movies while not slavishly copy-and-pasting the comics (which would utterly ruin a good movie, by taking the fun out, ala BB). obviously ppl here are very immature and dont know that back then, B89 and BR were HUUUGE hits and are still considered by many to exceed the "purist-spiderman-bond clone" in BB. in fact, BB wasnt even THAT faithful, there were plenty of things that nolan "changed" for a mive-action movie, so it wasnt exactly faithful in every sense of the word, so thats not entirely true. ppl i think have just been without a "dark" batman movie for so long they will take whatever they can get as long as its not like B&R. thats all i see happening here. I cannot believe the hype this film has received. It is a good example of what happened in "The Emperor's New Clothes". Long story short, two conmen convince everyone that they've made luxury clothes for a king when in reality, they have made nothing. According to them, only those worthy enough can see the clothes. Everyone fakes that they can see them, including a very naked king, so that they can feel worthy. My God, this fable fits "Batman Begins" perfectly.
