Batman Begins is the best Batman film.

Maybe, for true fans. Personally, I prefer TDK. But I always think a movie is only as good as its villain. The conflict is much better in TDK... not much going on in BB until the end.

My inner child would argue for Batman 1989 because that really defined and set the stage for all superhero movies to follow -- moreso than Superman '78 -- but I know '89 Bats is such a poorly made film that I'm sure I could sit through TDK before I could make it all the way through '89. So in that sense, TDK is the better Batman film.

I still say a truly great Batman film has yet to be made.

I can't sit through '89 anymore, and that's mainly because of Nicholson's Joker

Sorry bud but...

Sure it has.... Just not in "live action" form.

I'll take many of the DC animated Bruce Timm movies over any of the live action stuff made so far any day.

And I highly doubt this "next" attempt will change that one bit.

For me it's still a toss between BB and TDK. Hard to say one is better than the other.

It's just like when I try to choose with Star Wars, ANH or ESB. No matter how much I may think I prefer the 2nd movie, it wouldn't have existed without the 1st.

BB is a batman film. TDK is a crime thriller that has the lead dress up as Batman.

Nicholson is one of the best parts of 89 Batman. I always loved the Prince soundtrack too.

I know I’m gonna get a lot of flack for this but I don’t like Nicholson joker at all. Everytime I see him I see trump in make up. Idk why . The vibe is cool. I love returns cause it kinda feels like a live action animated series. Kinda.

TDK is a crime thriller that has the lead dress up as Batman.

Or maybe we're just not accustomed to Batman doing his detective thing on the big screen.

It was also my fave Batflick until BvS.

I think the new Batman film will be huge and set a new high standard for comic book movies.

The new suit will be very popular once it's seen in action.

Batman Begins is the best Batman film.

I agree that it's the best one overall, but I don't think he's the best Batman or the best suit. Can't take his bat-voice seriously amongst other things.

The Batman is a crime thriller that has the lead dress up as Batman.

It could also be the case for this.

BB is a batman film. TDK is a crime thriller that has the lead dress up as Batman.

Both are brilliant though.

Not the best but I do really like the Begins suit. On a side note, it's hard to believe that Begins is 17 years old!

Jack’s Joker is great. He could be threatening/scary when necessary but he also really played into the humorous side of the character as well.

Sorry bud but...

both Burton movies are too goofy and silly.
people gave crap to Schumacher formaking batman goofy and corny. but Burton already had done that but in reverse.
Schumacher made them corny and colorful and cheesy. but Burton did the same but with a goth aesthetic.

the penguin is just as silly as Mr freeze. Burton took a serious mobster and turned him into a hideous bird monster that eats raw fish lol. catwoman had just as many cheesy moments as poison ivy. (the cat tongue bath. the bad one liners. the cat puns)

I know you guys were talking about batman 1. but Burton was just as bad as Schumacher but in goth in returns. and batman 1 had its shared of ridiculous crap like joker destroying the art pieces and Dancing to prince....lol. that's beyond cringe.

if Schumacher had kept the goth aesthetic and kept the dark music instead of that jazz like music he picked, batman 3 and 4 would be indistinguishable from Burton movies.
Burton had so many cringe lines or puns or dumb moments.

 

[jye4ever]

There are definitely a handful elements in 89 that completely takes me out of the movie like the silly skeleton after Joker electrocutes the mob guy lol

But what are you gonna do it’s a freaking classic now it’s the Wizard of Oz of Batman movies.

DiFabio has awaken from his hibernation slumber can’t wait for his take on The Batman.

Get your *** in here DiFabio can’t have a Batman release without you here.

I find there is something to love in every Batman movie. Except for the dark knight rises. **** that movie
