  • I actually like Christopher Nolans versions better than the rest. Batman Begins, it wasn't about villians it was actually about how the legend begins. It was about Bruce Wayne becoming Batman. Nolan names his movies carefully. Batman Begins is not about the fight scenes or scarecrow its about Batman/Bruce Wayne. Now this summer The Legend Ends, can't wait for TDKR.

  • I'd say The Dark Knight - Batman 1989, I agree that Jack Nicholson played a very good joker, but I just didn't like how they gave a joker an origin in the movie, and the joker died in a pretty bad way in my opinion. In The Dark Knight The Joker is a mystery. Each time he told the a story about his scars were different.

  • The Dark Knight > Batman 1989

  • i saw the other 3 vids 7 they were awesome. great job! ps: im a HUGE batman geek

  • Best bruce: Adam west

    Best alfred: Michael cane

    Best batman: bale when he's not growling like a throat cancer patient.

    Best Robin: 1st animated robin

    Best joker: jack, Heath and hamill

    Best batgirl: I don't give 1

    Best bane: hardy

    Best catwoman: arkham city

  • @30seconds2slipknot

    Bales voice is pretty awesome, its only that one moment where Jokers hanging that it gets out of hand

  • Adam West is the best Batman!

  • I can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises.

  • This Guy Is Crazy The Dark Knight Is The Best Batman Movie

  • I'm not talking about James but I feel in today's world people see a movie just to troll its a movie enjoy it

  • I know he didn't like Batman Begins but he downplays it too much. The focus on Ras al Ghul was a great story arc and pitted former mentor-student against each other so much so that as big as batman became Ras still looks at him like the young Bruce Wayne and calls

    Wayne in their final fight. What if the scarecrow was the focus point? hes just some loony psychiatrist that in terms of batman's stature is nobody. Ras Vs Scarecrow? Ras al Ghul provided a better emotional arc then scarecrow period.

  • theres a new one coming out in 2012 and it looks awsome, and im getting a piece of the car that was in the movie( the batmobile)

  • I never heard of the 1926 silent film, The Man who Laughs, or the 2 1940 serials. The 1960 show is pretty laughable today looking at the camp value of it, especially the '66 film. The 1989 "Batman" was pretty damn good for its time, "Batman Returns" was enjoyable as a dark and action film, but I can see when people say it goes overboard. "Batman Forever" was decent but was showing it going downhill and "Batman & Robin" killed it off. The Nolan films are the superior Batman films hands down.

  • @godzilla964 Oh, no. The world truly is ending.

  • Now James, get this, you may already know this, but David Goyer, the writer of "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" will be the writer for the upcoming reboot of Godzilla in 2012.

  • Dark Knight is so overrated I prefer Batman begins.

  • The Dark Knight - Best movie ever made?? Where do you guys get THIS stuff from??? I live on the mid East Coast, US, and I never and I mean NEVER - not even onLINE have heard this song and dance about it being the 'best movie ever'. And even still, it annoys me to hear people - like yourself to some extent particularly with B.Begins - DISS and bash B.Begins JUST b/c otehr ppl - like yours truely love it. Hating/dissing/bashing a movie in the light of all of its praise. Thats unfair to the film.

  • ive never seen the animated series and im 13 rite now and a really big film buff and batman hapeens to be my favorire hero, so to get me intrested in it u should do a review of the series, im really dont like many cartoons or kid shows but from what you and everyone is saying the animated series sounds great so do a fucking review please

  • because of batman and robin everytime i watch . i am mr.white christmas i am mr.snow i sing alonng in my schwarzennegger voice!

  • I am going to stop making comments.

    OH DARN IT I MAKE A COMMENT!

  • Hey, has anyone noticed that the ice puns are funny?

  • @GRIMOPOE1 Nostalgia Critic already did that.

    I KNOW I AM RESPONDING TO A YEAR OLD COMMENT.

  • I like how the 1989 Batman was made in July while TDK was made in July too.

  • This is why Superman works alone.

    Robin just got OWNED!

  • Let's kick some ICE!

  • i might have to disagree with James for once, i thought Batman Returns holds up pretty will

  • @Teenlego

    No, BATMAN KILLS, it sucks

  • @yamisupersaiyan ever read any of the earlier comics, Batman killed criminals all the time

  • @Teenlego

    Theres a reason its EARLY. Batman and Returns clearly are portraying a mature Batman. The irony is that it would be actually justified in Nolans films, because its a beginner Batman and he doesn't kill. Come on bro you know killing isn't Batmans code. The character most revere does not kill. Thats what makes him so compelling. In the comics, the Joker only kills more and more but Batman refuses to kill him. That emotional trauma is great, not him killing

  • @yamisupersaiyan well were all entitled to our own opinions, i just found it very funny

  • @Teenlego

    what that he kills?

  • @yamisupersaiyan i find it funny, in an ironic way, there

  • @Teenlego

    I see why you might find it funny.....but that kind of makes it look like Batman and Robin. I don't mean to sound like a Batman fanboy but the killing ticks me off, personally

  • @yamisupersaiyan ok let's just end this already, i'm tired of arguing back and forth

  • The 1989 Batman's theme was AWESOME.

  • REVIEW BATMAN BEYOND

  • I use to not like batman movies but this video got me into it

  • isnt this angry nintendo nerd?

  • @UntoldTruthes Yeah, James portrays the AVGN

  • To me the animated series was even better than Tim Burtons movies.

  • Dark knight is super long i still always think This is the end WRONG but the ending whas great and i think its trough the suprisses a great movie.

  • I like the dark knight soundtracks better I felt that it was more suspenseful than batman

  • "Jack Nicholson embodies the Joker".

    I disagree. MARK HAMMIL embodies the Joker.

  • i wanna say alot of peoples favorite batman movies are burton's version and dark knight. im sure for others its different but for me Batman (1989) and DK are the best batman movies. oh yea, the animated series was freaking awesome too!

  • Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman movie.

  • BAD news people Alfred stared in batman all the way to batman and robin died two days ago at age 96

  • @AngelAngelusFANZ1233 R.I.P. Mr. Michael Gough - he's one of the few reasons why i even watch Batman & Robin, despite it being bad, in memory of HIM

  • The dark knight is not the best movie ever made,but neither the tim burton batman.

    The Dark knight is at least n the top 50

  • How can he say that batman and Robin(the one with Freeze) sucked?!?!?! It was the best movie I had EVER seen!!! It was hilarious and i loved it.

  • @ThatKrazyDude23 batman and robin is one of the most bashed movies of all time so the question is how can you say that it's good? LOL jk the point is it doesn't matter who cares if he hated it who cares if he likes it everyone has there own opinion and your one of the few people who like it so if you diss agree with one of the most popular opinions in film history then that's fine and it's fine that James diss agrees with you. P.S If a film is hilarious it's not necessarily good.

  • @KelanDWood I actually loved batman and robin... my opinion is that the concept of a guy dressing in a cape and trying to immitate a bat is just wayyy too silly to be taken as seriously as the tim burton films and the dark knight film attempt to.... however with the comedic style it works well enough so that you forget someone is trying to be a badass in a bat outfit... its just ridiculous.

  • @TheRyanNation I see your point of you. I've never seen Batman & Robin so I have nothing against the movie. What you said makes sense.

  • The animated movies are good and I would recommend them to James.

    Mask of the Phantasm, Subzero and Return of the Joker are great movies.

    I haven't seen Mystery of the Batwoman or The Batman vs Dracula, but I hear they are good.

    Gotham Knight was ok, but should've been separate from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

    But Batman Under the Red Hood? God that movie was excellent! It turned one of the worst batman characters into a believeable character.

  • You Should Review the Animated Batman Movies. They are really good.

  • cant wit til batman 3 the dark knight rises and cant wait til you review it

  • Review "Legends of the Superheroes".

  • I completely agree

  • I haven't seen all of these films, but I have to say: Both Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight were excellent films.

  • @NewJerseyCarMassacre thats a terrifying youtube name youve got. i dont want to mess with you... XD

  • Batman 3=? there's a hint.

  • Batman 1989 and Mask of the Phantasm are my favorite.

  • the dark knight fuck yeah just damn awesome the oldies not bad

    and sorry to say but i like the batman and robin by joel shoo (dont know how to spell it) though your right i only liked it for its comedy and a bit of action since i didnt ever watch the old ones.

  • Hmmm, they more focus on the villains in Batman (1989) than Batman Returns.

  • i think you should a special review for the animated series

  • ugg! me 2 fav villians are in da 2 worst movies! (that would be two face and mr freeze). I like lego two face way better, though.

  • Batman Returns was great! It does hold up to the original in my opinion.

  • REVIEW THE ANIMATED MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!

    plz?

  • @bonslywizard yeah man that would kick Ice

  • @bonslywizard dude he said he wont

  • @bonslywizard i agree, he said that theres to much to cover but i still think he should review it

  • @bonslywizard hell yeah! the animated series was the best

  • more my cup of tea :P

  • batman begins was awesome, everything about it was awesome, you stupid ass, if you don't understand the phycolagy of that film, you are not a true baman fan

  • @b210436 maybe but i prefer the dark night more

  • i have a question, if the DVD of TDK has been released, then why the bat a thon is the same? just using the trailer. i mean, he said that there is gonna be some changes

    sorry for my shitty english

  • batman the animated series was awesome kevin conroy is the best batman in any animated series with batman

  • Watched all your batman reviews and I can't agree more. Totally agree with everything you said. To me, Tim Burton's first Batman was a classic. He created a world - a really gothic Gotham city. The Nolan Batmans felt a little cold. Heath did a great job of the Joker, but I still like the first one the best.

    2. The Dark Knight (I enjoy thumbs down :)

    1. Batman (He's Batman)

    I like Batman better than the Dark Knight.

  • i kinda wish James would do a more detailed review of The Dark Knight, since when he did the Bat-A-Thon review, the Dark Knight was still in theaters and he didn't want to give away any spoilers, now that time has passed and almost everyone who would watch these reviews has seen the movie, it would be nice to see a more full review on it.

  • james' voice is hypnotic, he could make a 2 hour long video talking about dog turds i would gladly listen to it entirely

  • my top 5 are

    5. Batman 89

    4. Batman Returns

    3. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

    2. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

    1. The Dark Knight

  • @JokerFan1138 the reason i like batman returns better is because i'm kindda morbid and prefer a darker creepyer movie.

  • @JokerFan1138 Trollish version, no Begins?? You must die.

    Normal version really why no Begins???????

  • My top 3 batman movies are...

    1.The Dark Knight

    2.Batman Beyond Jokers Revenge

    (the animated one)

    3.Batman and Robin

    (the one with Adam West)

  • didnt tim burton make that movie '9'?

  • Yes.

  • yes

  • will you do a review on the batman cartoons

  • my favorites are Batman 89 and The Dark Knight too

    Batman and Robin was so bad i couldn't even finish watching it lol

  • i like batman and robin

  • @UndeadBeaner I can see why you did it was fun, and I like the comedy and action and stunts effects and neon, but my problem are the stories which are ful of holes, the repetitive caracters and to dark music and sets for such a light film!!!!!!!

  • 2:30

  • 1:14

  • I highly doubt he'd answer your comment but I'll take a guess:

    It's awesome. You'd be a fool not to think that BM:AA isn't awesome.

  • You should really do a "Bat-A-Thon" on the Batman animated series!

  • Perhaps you could review a list of Top 10 Greatest Batman The Animated Series Episodes?

  • @GRIMOPOE1 as well as take a look at the movies?

  • Review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm!

  • batman begins is the best by far, the movie movie takes batman to a whole new level, and out of hte shadow of superman. If you cant recognise how good batman begins is then I'm sorry but then you dont know shit about movies. Dark night is great more not better or more original than batman begins

  • So if people disagree with you, they know shit about movies? Mighty pretentious of you. As good as you think Batman Begins is, not everyone likes it, nor should they. People like different things for different reasons. Saying someones opinion suck just because they have different tastes is, for lack of a better term, stupid.

  • @TheKaisama Amen! I get that kind of shit alot. Just because I like a film most people hate which is rare, people say my opinon is wrong. There is no right or wrong opinon.

  • you just burried yourself

    only kids adore new Batman movies and

    brag they know "somethin" about movies... grow up, movie indrustry is going down the drain

  • Only kids adore Batman movies? What?

    How is Dark Knight the least bit child friendly? The violence? The adult nature? That's not for kids!

    Dark Knight is not a kid's film. Many adults, and I mean MANY adults, love DK. Kids are scarred of that movie, and they only liked it at first because it was a super-hero movie.

    Yes, the movie industry is going down the drain, but there are still some amazing movies every once in a while. DK is one of them.

  • What what ?!?

    were you iven lisning to what he sad

    He was talking about batman forever , that was made kids friendly and then the fukt up 4 part with mr freez

    And i agree wit avery thin that dude sad hier

  • Obviously, if you learned how to read, you'd know that I was replying to another comment. My comment had NOTHING to do with the video.

  • @uknownada who do you define as a kid in this instance? i know teens, pre-teens, and even a couple 6 year olds who adore the movie. most kids love getting scared, and there are lots of great movies still coming out. not fantastic like dk, but still fun as long as you dont set your standards unbelievably high :)

  • @uknownada ok so u say MANY adults,but you dont put in infront of kids wich means that u mean ALL kids?

  • @uknownada I saw a 9 year old who wasn't scared of TDK at all.

  • @uknownada actually i wasn't scared for life

  • @uknownada You wanna see scary?

    Watch the first Sam Raimi Spiderman movie.

    2 times I ALWAYS get startled.

    1:When the Green Goblin (Norman) is about to say what happened in the science place.

    2:After Norman and Harry hug each other.

  • @nightbane2 what do you expect from the guy who brought us the Evil Dead movies xD

  • @Teenlego :P

  • @uknownada im 12 and i LOVE the dark knight!

    besides when you say MANY adults that of course means alot,but not many adults,but when you say kids hate it,it's like saying that ALL kids hate it! (BTW dont reply and swear at me and tell me to get off youtube,because thats what im expecting)

  • @scaryguy004 Fuck. Get off Youtube.

    Just wanted to give you what you want.

  • @uknownada that made me laugh

  • i dont know which i like better, batman or the dark knight, both have their pros and cons

  • 1- The Dark Knight

    2- Mask of the Phantasm

    3- Batman (1989)

    4- Batman Begins

    5- Sub-Zero

    6- Return of the Joker

    7- Batman Returns

    8- Batman Forever

    9- Batman (1966)

    10- Batman on Ice

  • @shawnmalki I whole heartedly agree.

  • Dark Knight = best eva

  • my two favorites are actually batman returns and the dark knight. i guess i prefer a more dark aproach to batman. yeah the original was great, but there were some things that i didn't like as much. mabye it's because i'm not all that nostalgic. i'm only 15 anyway.

  • Batman Begins i agree, scarecrow should be in it more.

  • In spite of curiosity, what IS the best movie ever made in your opinion? I'm not arguing with what you said, I agree.. Just curious, you seem to know your stuff.

  • In spite or Batman & Robin being a failure... Joel Schumacher did a better job than Tim Burton(Batman & Batman Returns)... and, of course, Jim Carrey repeated the play he does always, but he´s amazing actor and was a gret and memorable Riddler that couldn´t be replaced by anyone in the future Batman movies... Riddler should be him again...he was even better that the classic Riddler from the 60´s series...

  • i got to disagree, i prefer seeing batman dark. The first time i ever watched a batman... anything, it was the animaed series which is known for being one the darkest, and greatest representations of batman. So then, when i watched the burtin/schumacker movies and compared, i REALLY hated two-face in batman forever, and Jim carrey wasn't creepy enough to be called a good batman villain, true, the 60s show wasn't dark, but it was the 60s, and it could get away with it.

  • Joel Schumacher butchered a movie franchise that Tim Burton made awesome. There is nothing memorable about Jim Carrey's riddler, he was just being the same goof ball that he is in alot of his movies (joel schumacher's fault of course for directing him that way). Jim Carrey didn't really set a high standard for the riddler like Nicholson did with his Joker or like Pffeifer did with her Catwoman, so anybody playing Riddler in a 3rd Nolan Batman would be a vast improvement.

  • Please do an animated series review of batman!

    Please!

  • You should do the animated series.

  • TDK's action scenes were great, but for me a tad too dark

  • the newer actror that played in the drak night was alot better as a joker..

  • Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight are my favourite batman movies aswell

  • An okay movie is entertaining. A good movie is entertaining and about something. The Burton movies, as entertaining as they are, don't have a theme or atleast don't care to carry the themes of Batman comics. Stuff just happens. You get barely two scenes about Bruces parents being murdered and both movies spend alot more time on the villians. The Burton movies are okay, but they are about nothing, especially not about Batman. Nolans movies analyse the char of Batman and I give it credit for.

  • Wait a minute

    The dark night is about the joker and batman fighting it out to the end

    Yet it isnt about batman?

    What do you mean tey are about nothing.

    If they werent about anything they wouldnt have any basis to write dialouge or to even have characters designed or portrayed.

  • 2:54 couldn't have put it better myself.

  • i'd say Burtons Batman 1 beats all other existing Batman movies, especialy Nolan ones... they suck

  • your father who made you sto retarded

  • that made no logically sense, but good try.

  • coz youre too stupid to think

  • and you're too stupid to put together a logical and clear sentence, maybe if you could spell and group words together in a way that made sense then maybe I could understand you.

  • go to school then you will

  • I'm in school, but I don't waste my time studying how to understand morons on youtube such as yourself. If you want to make an argument then make it already, if not then shut the fuck up.

  • talk to the hand asswipe

    its the only thing that will "want" to listen to your crap

  • nice job with the middle school level come back.

  • loser of century

    hahaha

    gj

  • hey james did you here vthat there was a batman game with 2 or 3 scarcrow fights if you havent played it you should if you like the ghost busters game you would love the batman game for the 360

  • i thought batman begins was really dark.

  • best movie ever made?? I dont get it.. maybe because movie was rated 9.1 on IMDb.?

  • Mr. Freeze was awesome...

  • the Tim burton is great!!!

    LOL

  • Kevin Conroy had the best Batman voice, I have to say.

    But I have to agree with the Batman Begins part, Scarecrow did not get as much screen time as he should have. Ra's al Ghul was interesting, but if it wasn't Liam Neeson playing him I probably wouldn't think so.

    Either way, this was a honest review that cuts the crap. I can appreciate that.

  • yeh, and im also really happy, that kevin conroy did the batman voice in batman arkham asylum

  • Please review the awesome Batman Animated Series. i realized why the Dark Knight has a down ending, so in the next movie it will have a cooler ending (like Empire Strikes Back to Return Of The Jedi). and i dont blame you for loving both movies

  • I still watch those today and I'm 25.

  • me too batman and the turtles are 100% badass

  • Comment removed

  • Avgn's top 4 batman movies had Bale,Burton,Keaton,and Noland.

  • Who embodies batman?
