Better Trilogy: Raimi's Spider-Man or Nolan's Dark Knight?

[The Iron Koob]

Anyone who votes Nolan over burton is an idiot. They came at two different times and Nolan's movie would be a lot like Burton's if burton hadn't already done it. You think ledgers joker would've been the same if Nicholson hant done it the way he did?

Well the connection is there in what you just said

Just like how without Burton Batman there would have been no B&R, the same way without B&R there would be no Nolan bats, at least not in the shape and form we got it

B&R went so far off course that they needed someone to come in and reboot with a completely different vision


Sure if Burton Batman never happened I agree someone would have eventually come along and made a batman film, but it wouldn't necessarily have been Nolan, could have been anyone

I guess the real connection is If there was no Schumacher and no Clooney/Kilmer there'd be no Nolan Batman

Nolan owns his trilogy to Schumacher

If you think Nolan would have made it the same or similar youre crazy...Totally different directors...No way Nolan would have been comical like Burton...no freakin way...you dont know what youre talking about

Nope great films like the Nolan ones and LOTR ones will stand the test of time

Spider-Man won't

Doubt it. Spiderman will always be remebered so remeber that.

You can also swap out B&R for SM3 and be correct

Nobody gives a **** about the Burton/Keaton Batman except me and maybe like, 2 or 3 people in THE WHOLE WORLD.

Considering that Burtons gotham was the best looking gotham to date, had the best catwoman ever on film and the best batsuit i'd say burton has alot of superior traits to the nolan films.

It's not a "which is your favorite" thread though. It's a "which is the better film/trilogy" thread.

Better in what regard? This isn't even apples and oranges. This is like comparing tomatoes and bananas. I like both. I rewatch one more than the other. So that's the one I'll vote for as "better."

But ASM doesn't have a completely different vision

I think 89 Batman holds up ok even now - I don't despise it never have

Liked it a lot yea. I've just never loved it.

'89 holds up pretty well. Would hold up a lot better if it weren't for the stupid Prince music montages. Without Prince, it'd be timeless ... but, everytime that goofy music comes up, it just screams "80s movie", and looks outdated. Still ... very watchable. I don't think Returns holds up quite as well, though.

These results are just too close to call.

Bananas are better than tomatoes...

I love Batman 89. It's a great movie, and it's by far the most solid of the original "Anthology", and, for me, it still holds up well; hell, I even enjoy the Prince soundtrack. That's probably because I love Batman, though. I think that every interpretation contributes to the mythos, and I keep an open mind with all of it. B & R even has some redeeming qualities, but 89 is right up there with Nolan's trilogy for me.

You have an overripe banana close to rotting, and a perfectly fresh tomato. You naturally like bananas more and hate tomatos though. Which is the 'better' fruit? The tomato. You might not like it, but it's better.

I love Alien versus Predator: Requiem and don't really like...say, the The Dark Knight. But I can say, without a doubt, that The Dark Knight is a hundred times better than the pile of garbage that is AvP:R.

The Nolan Batman films are simply made of higher quality than AvP:R, whether I like them more or not...they are better.

I class Tomatoes as Vegetables though

 

[thenammagazine]

not necessarily. Burton's was the first but that doesn't mean without it there would be no other Batman movies. Someone was bound to make a Batman movie at one point or the other. I mean I am saying if Burton never made Batman at all they would have just made it with someone else.
Buton and Nolan's batman also have nothing in common besides batman himself so I don't get this post.

I'm thinking without Burton's batman we would have never gotten Batman and Robin maybe, the whole reason for getting Schumacher was because Burton went too dark with the second one.
Maybe if he was never near Batman they could have made different movies that were not as dark and maybe Schumacher would have never been called. Who knows.

but to say that without Burton or Keaton, there'd be no Nolan Batman makes no sense really. how are they connected?

You don't get it because you're mildly (maybe even legally) retarded. You answered your own question, dingus. It's called evolution. Everything from how the characters act on screen to the suit was influenced by Burton beit directly or indirectly through the sequels '89 spawned. Therefore, as I said, without Burton's Batman, there'd be no Nolan Batman.

right because Burton created Batman, yeah you are right I forgot.
