i never said it wasnt a comic book movie
so your guess is as good as mine

Didn’t you say it’s a great movie but not a comic book movie

Right ok my bad. So how isn’t it a great comic book movie?

 

[Neuromancer]

Batman Begins is the best superhero movie ever.

Its...fine. I like it a little less every time I revisit it I think.

It is a pretty poorly edited film though.

I kind of agree.

I don't think its a great comic book movie trilogy because it captures very little of the comic book essence or aspects of the character or concepts of Batman.


Its more based/forced on "Realism" than the "Fantastic" nature of comics, which is not a bad thing, just a specific taste. But Bale's Batman captures very little of what Batman really is. Baleman is not a detective, at all. He's not very smart or aware (he falls into traps and gets outsmarted in every movie), He isn't a fierce fighter or a crafty strategist, he gives up protecting Gotham to go pal around with a girl he barely knows, he relies a lot on the assistance of others rather than being the guy to take the burden on himself... As I'm typing this, I'm realizing a lot of my issues were much more prevalent in TDKR than TDK but the seeds and aspects were present in that movie. I'm not saying its a bad movie at all, its actually a spectacular thriller/adventure movie, just not the best comic book movie to me.

I disagree for Dark Knight. It's Long Halloween on steroids which is one reason I love it. Batman being a detective isn't a part of any batman movie so far so if that's our bar, then the Burton movies aren't good comic book movies either. Nor is any batman movie outside of mask of the phantasm

 

[prophecypro]

Still the best

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Overrated imo, I was kinda bored watching it in the theatre but I will readily admit I don’t fukk with super hero shyt.

still a great movie but the all time great? Not in my opinion

 

[OVER]

Yes, easily. The only reason I have watched any of these new super hero movies more than once is to show my kid nephew other than that these other ones are entertaining in a vacuum and not worth repeat viewings.

 

[TOAD99]

Just rewatched, no doubt a classic

 

[Izanami]

Can’t recall one action scene in this

 

[OmegaK2099]

Can’t recall one action scene in this

The bank robbery?

 

[FaTaL]

The ending is still the best
