Where exactly did Batman get that thing? How did he transport that colossal spotlight to the base of the church, presumably after killing Joker? Was he keeping it in his belt?
@brianelihu Let me get it. For you: (1) Keaton > Bale because he had the better voice: (2) Ledger over Nicholson because of his great lines; (3) TDK over 1989 in production vales due to more modern technology; and (4) 1989 version better than TDK because of the classic ending? If so, I agree with you. But Nicholson was awesome too. And to me, Christian Bale is real overrated as both Bruce Wayne and Batman.
Both adaptations are amazing in their own respects. 1989 did amazing with what they had to work with. Technology advanced and so did film making, IE batman begins and the dark knight. Both have my respect.
Who is the idiot that said the 1989 film's main focus was the villain, whereas nolan's is not? You've actually SEEN the dark knight right? The ENTIRE movie is based around heath ledger and the joker. If he werwnt apart of that movie, it would've been almost as bad as batman and robin. At least keaton never sounded like he had been gargling hot asphalt.
I hate looking at the comment section seeing fanboys say over and over again that nolan's batman sucks. We get it. You prefer Burton. But Nolan's batman doesn't suck at all. Both versions are great.
the person who composed the music for this scene and most of this movie should be commended for a job well done! this scene's music, in particular was simply...magnificent...
I wonder if Michael Keaton was good friends with Christopher Reeve in real life, were they? because I know they starred together in the movie speechless in the 1990's
@nobodysperfect06 im not sure but I know they made an appearance together at some event specializing both Batman and Superman together(since they both played they're roles excellent)
I will always wonder what a third Batman movie for this series would have been like if Tim Burton had stayed as the director and Michael Keaton had remained as the star playing the lead character. They sure messed this series up getting Joel Schumaker as the new director and having Val Kilmer becoming the replacement star (only to be replaced yet again by George Clooney who obviously did not save the series being the new star after that). I am glad the current series is not making that mistake.
i wish i could enjoy batman videos without having to read all the argument comments-ledger vs nicholson-burton vs nolan-keaton vs bale.they are all great in their own way.batman was the first attemt,the most classic batman film.batman returns was a dark,gothic movie with tragic villains.batman begins was a fine intoduction to Nolans work and The Dark Knight was,in my opinion,a movie from an other planet.everybody has an opinion but if you want to argue all the time make a page and write there
d actually love it if Chirstopher Nolan would sort of do a variation of this scene in The Dark Knight Rises. For me this is the perfect way to end a batman film and a perfect way to bookend his series. Also, this scene perfectly illustrates the notion of the "dark knight" "rising", by being finally accepted by the public and finding his place in Gotham City
8 years old id watch this movie rewind the tape and watch it again probably twice a week for a year, the ending always gave me cold chills Batman is a badass!
Gordon had to explain the significance of Batman in their lives during The Dark Knight. But with this film, no one has to explain why Batman has to be glorified. At this point in the film, the audience knows who Batman is, and why he feels compelled to do this for the rest of his life. After seeing him fight multiple enemies, nearly lose his love to both villains and his own curse, we feel sympathy for him. The concluding scene, with the bells and Batman watching Gotham, is his final signature.
@ClosterphobiA i was just merely stating my opinion as you stated yours. Ours differ, and that is your right. I am sure there are those who would agree with me who perhaps have very little appreciation for media ventures and the works of Hans Zimmer.
I have to be honest. Seenig this as a kid & growing up with it clearly made this the best batman movie ever. However, I gotta hand it to Nolan, Ledger & Bale for doing such an epic job at making Batman a much more respected & epic character in the "super heros" category. This may be the best batman movie of all time, but The Dark Knight was just pure gold. TDK was movie making at it's best. Not to mention, both movies had a grand collection of music that made each of them that much better.
@gtmunn Thats your opinion & your entitled to it. However, you don't need to express that to me because quite frankly I don't really care =) - My comment was for people who felt the same way about the music, so go express your opinion to someone that seems to relate to it.
I still think to this day that Keaton made best Batman but George Clooney my favorite Bruce Wayne but Joker I would hate to have to call that between Nickelson and Ledger
So Batman is indeed triumphant here...He murdered the Joker, which what the joker has been wanting him to do...seduce him into killing..lol what a triumph..
One of the best super hero movies ever.....But Lando at Harvey Dent....that was almost as bad at Michael Clark playing Kingpin in the Daredevil movie!!!
i would like to see the dark knight rises end this way, since its the end of that trilogy, and it would be a nice nod to the original batman which is a classic.
I remember the summer of 1989 when this came out! Honey I shrunk the kids came out during the same time. Me and my grandparents when to the theater to see Honey and instead, I convinced them to see Batman for the third time, lol! This was a great movie for it's time and in my opinion, Keaton is still the very BEST Batman, no question! It's also debatable in regards to who the better Joker is. My god, I can't believe it's been over 20 years! One of the great movies of my childhood!
@PhilBale Warner Brother's + DC Comic's + Tim Burton + Danny Elfman + Prince + Jack Nicholson + Michael Keaton + Kim Basinger= GREATEST BATMAN MOVIE EVER!
@snake2006 Actually batman begins didn't outperform batman89 at the box office and even if it did what does the amount of money it makes have to do with movie being good? You must be a huge fan of transformers revenge of the fallen. Go troll somewhere else you retarded fanboy.
Because it did what Batman 89 didn't, Begins is about Bruce becoming THE BATMAN. The Tim Burton films focused on the villians who overshadowed what the movie is suppose to be about BATMAN.
@snake2006 It's really funny you don't like it yet you clicked on here don't you have anything better to do. You seem to be a fan of films just because they make alot of money cause you brought up the films success so yeah you must be a fan of transformers.
I never said I don't like Batman 89. Batman 89 is a damn good movie, I just have problems with Michael Keaton who sucks, and there is too much focus on the villians rather than Batman himself.
Which is why I prefer Batman Begins and Dark Knight, because they focus on BATMAN.
@snake2006 Michael Keaton for your information is regarded by many as the best Batman to grace the film screen. Bale was a great Bruce, but BLEW as Batman. Also your second part of your comment is strictly your opinion. I think 89 and Returns was far better than both Begins and Dark Knight. And so fucking what if Dark Knight outperformed 89 in the box office. Just because something sells better doesn't MAKE it better.
Justin Bieber sells better than many other artist, but is he better? NO!!!
1) FUCK NO, Keaton sucked as Batman. Adam West did a much better job and that series was a piece of shit.
Bale is better in EVERY regard when it comes to Batman
2) Dark Knight and Begins are universes and galaxies better than 89 and Returns. They can't even compare. 89 and Returns are good movies but they are absolute shit compared to Begins and DK.
Bieber is a fad that is going to die out by next year. Piss poor comparison.
@snake2006 By all means, your last sentence in your comment was the only intelligent remark you made. Honestly you come off as a Nolan fanboy and god knows there is no sense reasoning with the likes of you people because you can't grasp the simple concept of the fact there is no such thing as a perfect movie; even an excellent director like Nolan has flaws with his films.
Whatever. I know for a FACT I got millions of people backing me up when I say 89 and Returns were superior ;)
Atleast I have some degree of taste unlike you and millions of other fucking idiots who wouldn't know that the Burton Films are complete shit compared to the Nolan films.
@snake2006 LOL you sound like a cookie cutter video game villian. There's a life outside your secluded dark room kiddo; why don't you step outside for once and join the rest of us normal folk.
@snake2006 the Dark Knight was OVERRATED, and how nolan tries to make the film have so much realism it takes away some of the Mysterious Element to the characters and comic,, Tim Burton 1989 batman movie was a much more Dark and Mysterious batman movie, and showed the mysterious element of the characters and comic much better, just like the 90's batman animated serries, and the video game Arkham Asylum, thats the dark mysterious element of batman, and tim burton showed that perfect
Bullshit, Batman should be taken seriously instead of a side character like Burton treated him.
In Dark Knight they focused on the Joker, and Batman's response to it. How he would have to rise to the occasion and be the hero Gotham needs even if he must be known as a criminal to do it.
@snake2006 how was burton's batman not taken seriously ? & burton made batman quiet becouse in the comics, batman doesnt talk much, he is more like a shadow in the night, a stone figure, who is intimidating, & Mysterious,, & tim burton 1989 batman, showed that PERFECTLY,, nolan's batman talks way to much, he talks way more then batman is suppose to , and nolan's batman isnt mysterious, it seems more like a guy in a batman just kicking ass, 89 batman showed joker & batman response to it also tho
There is difference of opinions and there are facts. It's that simple.
You Burton fanboys can't accept facts that Begins and Dark Knight beat their movies. Just like future Batman movie will more than likely beat Nolan's films. Circle of life.
Not Mysterious, lets see, in Begins he hides in the shadows and doesn't strike until the time was right when he captured Falcone. He was watching the whole time when the Scarecrow was making the drug deal at the beginning of DK. you don't see him till he grabs the barrel of the gun.
Or when he disappears on Gordon and Dent when they were talking on the roof discussing how they will get Lao back.
@JOKAWILD26 Actually, I got to admit - Arkham Asylum is better than any of the Batman movies, as it's really close to the source material and makes it look cooler and better than ever.
Funny,I have never had a problem with Bale's Batman voice unlike the rest of the people who mock it.
It fits the character and it's different than his Wayne voice unlike Keaton who used the same voice the whole movie plus treated the film like a joke, just like George Clooney did.
@snake2006 Kid... Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are just WAY too realistic for being the best Batman movies. They take themselves WAY too serious. What's realistic about a guy dressing up like a bat to fight crime? Nothing. It's supposed to be unrealistic. Nolan will refuse to have cool villains such as Mr Freeze, Killer Croc, Manbat and Poison Ivy - just because they aren't "realistic". That's retarded. Say what you want - the animated series at least is a lot better than the Nolan movies.
@snake2006 They took themselves serious - but they did not try to make it realistic and pretentious. Way better? You wanna know what beats your precious Nolan movies by miles? Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now go back to the Nolan-rock you live under, and try to act like one of your age should, kid. I call you a kid until you act like an adult. Oh, and don't bother to respond. I'm not talking to immature people, if I can pick what I prefer. :P Grow up.
Your the one who needs to grow up. Arkham Asylum isn't a movie and thus can't be judged.
The realistic approach was the best way to handle the franchise. It works allot better than the Burton movies where the villians were the focus and little was given to Batman.
If you want to prefer the Burton films, fine, do that. I prefer the Nolan films.
Atleast they are better than the Schumacher films.
@snake2006 No way, Batman 1989 and Batman Returns are better films than Nolan's; I liked Burton's direction a whole lot better and loved the overall dark atmosphere of the movies. That and Bale pales (no pun intended) to Keaton as Batman and Nicholson was a lot more enjoyable as the Joker. Also Danny Devito played an amazing Penguin and Michelle Phieffer was mesmerizing as Catwoman.
Why would I do that? Batman TAS is easily better than all the Batman movies EXCEPT for the Nolan films.
I stand by my opinion that as far as live action goes, Bale is the better Batman and Nolan's films are so far superior to the Burton Batman's that I refuse to even watch the older ones anymore.
Batman TAS is very well done, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill steal the show.
@snake2006 Bale portayed a better Bruce Wayne that Keaton, but Batman? Absolutely not and a majority of fans and even a good deal of Nolans fans agree Keaton is the better Batman. I disagree; Nolan's films were excellent, but better than Burton's they are not; Burton's captured the true essence of Batman and captured the dark atomsphere of the comic books. I honestly find it sad you can't appreciate 89 or Returns anymore (and funny that Returns is darker than any of Nolan's movies)
Good for you. But I have already stated my opinion, I prefer Bale's batman over Keatons. Even in 89 I felt Keaton did a poor job, hell I would wager that Adam West did a better Batman than Keaton and I HATE that show.
I prefer Nolan's films because they focus on Batman, not just the villains. It gave insight to what Bruce did to become Batman and didn't have that stupid Joker killed Batman's parents.
@snake2006 lol your comments are hidden because they've recieved so many negative votes. It isn't that people don't like your opinions, it's just the way you voice them, it just makes you seem like an arrogant prick.
@snake2006 hahaha there is no "truth" when it comes to opinion lol, that's the whole point of an opinion haha, did your parents not raise you very well?
@kurvos You make a valid point about the villians in Nolans films. I hope he can see beyond this realistic approach of his and includes these villians. I would like to see Killer Croc.
@jameskit Yeah, I agree. I mean, look at Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum - he is fucking badass. Who wouldn't like to see him like that in a live action movie, seriously?
@kurvos I would hope they wouldnt make him as huge as they did in Arkham Asylum though but lets see. Also I hope they dont include Robin for at least another two films.
@jameskit What the.... what? What's wrong with him being so huge? What in the name of fuck? "Oh, boohoo... don't make him so huge - it looks too badass. Wueh!" No, really; Killer Croc is fucking supposed to be huge! "Oh, but not THAT huge." Fuck that, he's awesome for being huge in Arkham Asylum. And don't be so close-minded about Robin. You can update him to be cooler and more likeable.
@kurvos Oh kay someone has some unresolved issues, anyone who gives an opinion that you dont like you try and insult them. Either grow up or get help.
@kurvos Not everyone thinks like you or thinks the same thing. For example some people like Jack Nicholson as the Joker some like Heath Ledger. Just because you think you have sense and logic dosent mean you do. And as for small world you wont even consider another view on things so I suggest you are the narrowminded one. I can this is important to you so this will be my last word so you can repile and feel like you've won. Enjoy your hollow victory.
I grew up on the Burton films and looking back after being treated with Begins and Dark Knight with a Batman who TAKES ITSELF SERIOUSLY unlike the Burton films where Keaton just overacts the whole way through and focus on the villians, I can see the old ones as complete shit that they are. But the burton films are better than Forever and Bman and Robin
@youngcnyce His voice as Batman actually has a purpose; if he used the same voice as Batman as he did as Bruce, sooner or later, people would be able to recognize him, so up yours. I respect your opinion on the subject, but there's no need to be an asshole about it.
@snake2006 right best comic book movie ever made. A movie where a DA who in the comics was a shizophrenic who was good freinds with Bruce Wayne ( and hated Batman) is now all the sudden Jesus, Batman is a hypocrite, ( he murdered Two-Face) The Joker isn't really crazy since he has planned out everything he did rather than go on impulse ( like a real psychopath) and there's morality constantly shoved down our throats for no reason 9 right i'm gonna watch a movie called Batman for life lessons)
How was Dent Jesus in DK? He was Gotham's white knight, he was doing what every other DA was afraid to do, take on the corruption in Gotham. If Dent snaps and commits crimes it gives all the people he locked up just cause to get their convictions overturned.
Batman didn't kill anyone intentionally, he tried to take out both Dent and Save Jim's boy, so how does that make Batman a hypocrite. The Joker has always been crazy but a serious danger. Read the comics.
ok i like this movie better than the tdk . I mean the tdk movie is just not as accurate from the comics . this movie is much closer to the comics . So but if you like a more realistic go for tdk . If you like more comic book related go for batman 1989
Danny Elfman composed the music to this movie, but Elfman has never composed a symphony that I'm aware of. For that matter, I'm not sure he writes any concert (non-movie) music of any kind. I'm guessing he must have, to practice if nothing else, but I don't know of anything having been released.
The music playing there from the Batman soundtrack is titled as "Finale", but it's not drawn from any symphony; it's original to the movie.
@IgnatzKolisch, oh OK, thanks. I was almost positive i'd heard it in commercials and stuff outside of anything Batman related, and it sounds like it would have been taken from some kind of sympony. MY BAD!
Billy Dee Williams was pretty much a non entity in the movie anyways. Anyone could have played that role. There was nothing Harvey Dent about his character other than the name which is why Aaron Eckhart re-deemed Harvey Dent In TDK that blows Billy Dee and Tommy Lee Jones out of the water. And to me, I find it really sad that Billy Dee ended up as "The Token Black Guy" in the movie who just merely smiles, stays out of the conversation and had no involement in the plot what-so-ever.
There will never be a woman or porno that gets me as hard/revved up as this moment in film. Tim Burton, I sincerely thank you for this/you have no idea how awesome this really is....
You cut out the part with Vicki and Alfred! :(

You just don't like facts.
Both Begins and Dark Knight outperformed Batman 89 in the box office and are better written and directed.
Micheal Keaton sucks as Batman and as Bruce Wayne.

@snake2006 Actually batman begins didn't outperform batman89 at the box office and even if it did what does the amount of money it makes have to do with movie being good? You must be a huge fan of transformers revenge of the fallen. Go troll somewhere else you retarded fanboy.

Because it did what Batman 89 didn't, Begins is about Bruce becoming THE BATMAN. The Tim Burton films focused on the villians who overshadowed what the movie is suppose to be about BATMAN.
Also Transformers, both movies SUCK FUCKING ASS.

I never said I don't like Batman 89. Batman 89 is a damn good movie, I just have problems with Michael Keaton who sucks, and there is too much focus on the villians rather than Batman himself.
Which is why I prefer Batman Begins and Dark Knight, because they focus on BATMAN.

@snake2006 Michael Keaton for your information is regarded by many as the best Batman to grace the film screen. Bale was a great Bruce, but BLEW as Batman. Also your second part of your comment is strictly your opinion. I think 89 and Returns was far better than both Begins and Dark Knight. And so fucking what if Dark Knight outperformed 89 in the box office. Just because something sells better doesn't MAKE it better.
Justin Bieber sells better than many other artist, but is he better? NO!!!

1) FUCK NO, Keaton sucked as Batman. Adam West did a much better job and that series was a piece of shit.
Bale is better in EVERY regard when it comes to Batman
2) Dark Knight and Begins are universes and galaxies better than 89 and Returns. They can't even compare. 89 and Returns are good movies but they are absolute shit compared to Begins and DK.
Bieber is a fad that is going to die out by next year. Piss poor comparison.

Bullshit, Batman should be taken seriously instead of a side character like Burton treated him.
In Dark Knight they focused on the Joker, and Batman's response to it. How he would have to rise to the occasion and be the hero Gotham needs even if he must be known as a criminal to do it.
That is something the Burton films don't have.

@snake2006 how was burton's batman not taken seriously ? & burton made batman quiet becouse in the comics, batman doesnt talk much, he is more like a shadow in the night, a stone figure, who is intimidating, & Mysterious,, & tim burton 1989 batman, showed that PERFECTLY,, nolan's batman talks way to much, he talks way more then batman is suppose to , and nolan's batman isnt mysterious, it seems more like a guy in a batman just kicking ass, 89 batman showed joker & batman response to it also tho

Not Mysterious, lets see, in Begins he hides in the shadows and doesn't strike until the time was right when he captured Falcone. He was watching the whole time when the Scarecrow was making the drug deal at the beginning of DK. you don't see him till he grabs the barrel of the gun.
Or when he disappears on Gordon and Dent when they were talking on the roof discussing how they will get Lao back.

@snake2006 Kid... Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are just WAY too realistic for being the best Batman movies. They take themselves WAY too serious. What's realistic about a guy dressing up like a bat to fight crime? Nothing. It's supposed to be unrealistic. Nolan will refuse to have cool villains such as Mr Freeze, Killer Croc, Manbat and Poison Ivy - just because they aren't "realistic". That's retarded. Say what you want - the animated series at least is a lot better than the Nolan movies.

Your the one who needs to grow up. Arkham Asylum isn't a movie and thus can't be judged.
The realistic approach was the best way to handle the franchise. It works allot better than the Burton movies where the villians were the focus and little was given to Batman.
If you want to prefer the Burton films, fine, do that. I prefer the Nolan films.
Atleast they are better than the Schumacher films.

@snake2006 No way, Batman 1989 and Batman Returns are better films than Nolan's; I liked Burton's direction a whole lot better and loved the overall dark atmosphere of the movies. That and Bale pales (no pun intended) to Keaton as Batman and Nicholson was a lot more enjoyable as the Joker. Also Danny Devito played an amazing Penguin and Michelle Phieffer was mesmerizing as Catwoman.

Batman TAS is very well done, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill steal the show.

@snake2006 Bale portayed a better Bruce Wayne that Keaton, but Batman? Absolutely not and a majority of fans and even a good deal of Nolans fans agree Keaton is the better Batman. I disagree; Nolan's films were excellent, but better than Burton's they are not; Burton's captured the true essence of Batman and captured the dark atomsphere of the comic books. I honestly find it sad you can't appreciate 89 or Returns anymore (and funny that Returns is darker than any of Nolan's movies)

Good for you. But I have already stated my opinion, I prefer Bale's batman over Keatons. Even in 89 I felt Keaton did a poor job, hell I would wager that Adam West did a better Batman than Keaton and I HATE that show.
I prefer Nolan's films because they focus on Batman, not just the villains. It gave insight to what Bruce did to become Batman and didn't have that stupid Joker killed Batman's parents.

How was Dent Jesus in DK? He was Gotham's white knight, he was doing what every other DA was afraid to do, take on the corruption in Gotham. If Dent snaps and commits crimes it gives all the people he locked up just cause to get their convictions overturned.
Batman didn't kill anyone intentionally, he tried to take out both Dent and Save Jim's boy, so how does that make Batman a hypocrite. The Joker has always been crazy but a serious danger. Read the comics.

@OWWLegendKiller
Danny Elfman composed the music to this movie, but Elfman has never composed a symphony that I'm aware of. For that matter, I'm not sure he writes any concert (non-movie) music of any kind. I'm guessing he must have, to practice if nothing else, but I don't know of anything having been released.
The music playing there from the Batman soundtrack is titled as "Finale", but it's not drawn from any symphony; it's original to the movie.

Billy Dee Williams was pretty much a non entity in the movie anyways. Anyone could have played that role. There was nothing Harvey Dent about his character other than the name which is why Aaron Eckhart re-deemed Harvey Dent In TDK that blows Billy Dee and Tommy Lee Jones out of the water. And to me, I find it really sad that Billy Dee ended up as "The Token Black Guy" in the movie who just merely smiles, stays out of the conversation and had no involement in the plot what-so-ever.
