But, I think one thing that sets these movies apart is the time they take to explain why and how this is happening in our world. And that makes the story that much more appealing. I aso don't think the over all message is one of the corrupt owning everything.
I'm not at all attempting to detract from Burton. I like his movies, most f them, and I grew up watching his vision of Batman and loved it. I simply think Nolan's vision is better and far more true to the story in the comics, while also leaving the goofy and unrealistic nature of the comics behind.

I watched it... and realized he mainly only used one comic as his reference to the film (Batman Year One of course) instead of all the others they mentioned. I blame Goyer for that somehow though... that b*stard!
But I was quite disappointed when I saw comics like the Long Halloween on the list of ones he used as inspiration but then saw nothing of it in the film... I mean was the Scarecrow supposed to be it? If so that is rather sad.
And yes, I know that's more than Burton did... but like I have said so many times before, even though Nolan put the research time in it still didn't compare to the style and direction of Burton's Batman. Which kinda makes me sad in the end... Begins had all the makings of a great Bats movie... but somehow it just fell flat with me.
Yeah... I'll believe that when I see it, so far I have not... in any way shape or form. Its going to Begins all over again... although maybe worse, if that's at all possible.
also the thing about those horrible Burton films is even for a comicbook movie theres got to be SOME sense of realisem and believeability,cant remember Returns very well since I hated that one even much worse than Batman 89,Batman 89 I can sit through because of Kim Basinger. But the way Batman killed people in cowardly ways in those movies made you hate him and want to see HIM die and that was not at all believeable at the end where they got out the spotlight and honered Batman for killing the joker.In a real world,he would have been wanted for murder regardless of the jokers past actions,nobody is allowed to take the law into their own hands.That was the thing that really got me about Begins was the realisem was there.I mean Batman didnt even kill anybody in Begins but he was STILL wanted by the police.That was realistic and believeable when that commissioner said-I want this man,nobody takes the law into their own hands,not in my town.or something very similiar to that.The believeability was there with Begins,it wasnt with the other Batman films.
which is WHY people should stop posting on this thread.That guy who brought this thread back is OBVIOUSLY a friend of Batman Returns and like Batman Returns always did,just trying to get a rise out of people.
The fact that he agrees with him and went to all that trouble of going wayyyyyy back into the archives to dig up this old dead thread proves it.Really, everybody should stop posting on this thread cause the guy that brought this thread back is just laughing at all of us cause we did EXACTLY what he wanted us all to do.
Batman didn't kill in cowardly ways IMO in Batman 1989 or Returns.
And IA with the person who said Begins fell flat. It wasn't very exciting IMO it never felt epic but it had a way better script than the other Bat films did. And Batman didn't really kill the Joker in Batman 1989 he restrained the Joker to prevent him from escaping the Joker continuing to try to get away loosened the gargoyle and caused him to fall. Batman did intend to kill the Joker but the Joker ultimately did himself in.

uh turning the bat-mobile around and setting the guy on fire deliberately and dropping bombs in front of people when your life isn't even in danger-the batmobile is bulletproof remember? sorry but that's cowardly.

He bombed that factory to blow it up so people would no longer be getting the Joker's poisoned products. Not with the direct intention of killing the Joker's henchmen.

again WHY are you all responding to this old dead thread? the guy who went back into the archives to resurrrect this old dead thread from ages ago is obviously a friend of the thread starter of this thread laughing his butt at you both for taking his bait.your doing nothing but giving him the satisfaction of laughing at you both.
You're no better than anyone else Mr. Parker though your posts telling us to stop bump it as well. If you want the discussion to end it will die off I'm sure just like other threads have without you insisting that we stop posting here.

What is wrong with posting in this thread? i have a view of the movie....and i was not pleased, i think nolans batman had one thing going for it....new villains.......i dont care what the thread starter or his friends do, is it so hard to see negative opinions about nolans batman?
Bale is horrible as bruce wayne and batman
The suit is horrible
The batmobile was a joke
Gotham was portrayed as bland and without substance
Hows that for starters, and guess what? its only my opinion and thats it, i am glad they made a batman movie and i am glad it did well at the box office.....but since batman begins hit the shelves, i have watched all the other batman movies more than i have nolans batman.....i dont like so much realism....but hey thats me
the only difference about THIS thread staying alive and the others is unlike the others threads,THIS thread AGAIN was obviously resurrected by a friend of batman returns and he and batman returns are laughing at everybody who continues to post here and take his bait.Like everybody else,I was also a fool to respond initially to this thread because I was taking his bait like you all are who keep responding here.thats so obvious that your falling for his trick.that poster just HAPPENS to go through the old archives several pages back to bring back and resurrect an old dead thread and isnt a friend of batman returns? yeah rigghhhhhhht.
you werent here when this poster Batman Returns used to post here,he was a troll,he got warned by the mods to knock it off posting to get reactions out of people,he made multiple threads like this that got deleted..look at his last post,he left a long time ago because of the multiple warnings he got.If this thread had just RECENTLY been made by Rafkins Warning -who I know isnt a fan of Batman Begins and made this or if YOU had just made this thread,I wouldnt be saying this,but AGAIN,the people who are dumb enough to keep responding to this thread are just taking the bait of batman returns and his friend and they are both laughing at you all for doing so for taking their bait.

[B]What is wrong with posting in this thread?
see above post thats why.Like i said,if YOU had just made this thread recently,I wouldnt have said nothing.but batman returns and his friend are laughing at you guys for taking their bait.
I agree. The shit costume, horrible acting especially Christian *THIS IS MY GRUFF VOICE* Bale, and it was indeed one of most boring films I have EVER seen.
Agree! The above titles are excellent, you can't go wrong with Frank Miller's adaptation of the Dark Knight....it really explains why Batman's origins...as well as his character's development.
A sequel (in the comics) to TLH is Dark Victory by Jeph Loeb....but...
What I really would want to be done into a movie is Jeph Loeb's HUSH! ...but it would probably cost Bruce Wayne's fortune to produce it
