This Is my favorite Batman film of all time. Batman 1989 is #1 in my favorite top 10 movies of all time. Batman Returns is a Masterpiece of a Very Dark Classic Sequel.
the only thing i didnt like about keatons batman is his version of bruce wayne, like in the first batman when hes like "wanna get nuts?, lets get nuts common!" it was not bruce wayne yellin it was michel keaton yelling like a idiot, and he was a shrimp, too short, and not bruce wayne type at all but his batman beats out everyone elses version of batman hands down!
in my opinion the first (1989) and the second movie (1992) were the best, they can't not be compare with the dark knight(nolan) because theres a big diference of time, the dark night has a lot of especial effects (that was something that i din't like it) the batman from burton is a rel human hero, keaton made a sensacional perfomance with that misterious voice, and danny elfman once again did a really good work with the music, the best batman music of all the batmovies.!!
As much as Like this batman, he is so wimpy compared to the current Dark Knight Batman. The Dark Knight is a trained ninja, much more powerful than this Batman. Batman once again, like the first movie, has to basically trick the strong dude to win ( He got his butt handed to him in the first movie ) . The Dark Knight would have savagley destroy the strong man without having to use a bomb.
Wow besides the fact that keaton's too skinny, little, and old to be a legit batman..he has a really difficult time with catwoman! Bale's Batman actually looks like Batman and can knock out a whole swat team. How can anyone like keaton over bale? Kids..
@KevsHardLemonade Keaton is smooth with it. His eyes, his voice. He doesn't try to hard. Bale's batman voice sounds nasty, and his tumbler looks like a fucking tank! Keaton's batmobiles are smooth as a baby's bottom. just my 2 cents
@KevsHardLemonade already have KID, and your right cursing doesnt make dicks bigger nice observation FUCK YOU GO FUCK YOUSELF. FUCKING FAGGOT< FUCKIN QUEER FUCK YOU
MICHAEL KEATON IS THE BEST BATMAN ANY OF YOU GUYS WILL EVER SEE! HES GOTS THE VOICE, THE POSTURE, AND THE FACE LIKE BATMAN. CHRISTIAN BALE HAS NOTHING ON MR. KEATON!
I read somewhere that whenever Batman fights a criminal (maybe not someone like the Joker or Two-Face), he imagines it is Joe Chill, his parents' killer. That's why he never gives up.
@Visonu I dont know about that but Chill is probably Bats main drive in why he does what he does thats why i hated Chill in Batman Begins i actually had a smidgen of sympathy for his explanation for his actions.
Rather they had used the unamed gunman route of the original comics imo.
@damieandark personally?, i didn't like that much the background-story they used for "Batman Begins". yes, theater, but god, (yes there are several versions, i know that, but) Bruce and his parents didn't leave because Bruce was scared of bats. they were walking out of a MOVIE theater, and when they were walking through that dark alley (Crime Alley), they were killed by a mugger [or whatever it was], IN COLD BLOOD.
@damieandark the way Bruce's parents were killed in "Begins", wouldn't freak me out enough and/or traumatize me enough to put me down on the path to becoming "Batman" and/or want to do something about my parents' murder, or seek justice, or seek revenge/vengeance/etc-etc.
@600430 Bale's Batman has NOTHING on Keaton's Batman. you put those two Batmans to fight against each other, and Keaton's Batman would CREAM Bale's Batman.
@JediMasterLego We don't refer to them by the main actor's by the Directors its much more appropiate, Keaton had stunt doubles..but Burton took Bats into a direction that did feel like Batman not a super cop dressed as a bat.
Batman Returns was as brilliant as the first Batman movie. Michael Keaton was definitely #1 Batman. Michelle Pfeiffer was brilliant as Catwoman. DeVito was great as well. Amazing sequel.
One thing in this film I didn't really like was how when Batman threw the remote batarang, and how it was aiming toward the Poodle lady's face, yet the dog catches it at shin level. =/
I love this movie, it has some really awful editing in moments.
Observe moments 6:22 to 6:26. Catwoman falls off the building, exiting to the right of the frame, and ending up on the side of the neighboring rooftop, then Batman, still dangling from the roof at a different angle, lets go and falls , landing NEAR THE VERY TOP of the roof, and helps Catwoman up,
@hiitsmewutsup09 at first i thought the same thing. and i always did, and could never figure it out. but then it hit me, when watching this scene just now (after YEARS of always thinking that previous-opinion-you-mentioned about that edit): maybe he jumped to the other roof, and then grabbed Catwoman.
Yeah I see what your saying with the speaking issue, but yes it is a matter of opinion, me and you can agree to disagree lol. The performance given by eckhardt is what i feel really made the character, he was spot on it his comic book inspiration I think.
very true in fact he said he wanted to use as little CGI as required to make it more realistic. plus two faces scar CGI looked almost completely real at the end when batman turned dents face to the side.
If Nolan wanted to use as little CGI as required, he should have used make-up. It would have been more realistic if the burned half of Two-Face's face was just disfigured instead of burned away completely. It would have been cooler, too. Anyway, I agree with most of the comments here. Nolan's movies can't touch what Burton did.
well they already said nothing would look like that if you got your face burned. personally everything else excluded i like this version of two face because it's different take on the origin. don't get me wrong i like both looks but i prefer nolans version. CGI was used because they could make it look really good and he wanted to show teeth and muscles in the mouth, it fitted the damage. i hated tommy lee jones version i could just go on and on about that awful acting.
Also, I like the fact that in in Nolan's version Two-Face actually went by the fate of the coin, instead of just flipping it over and over again like Tommy Lee Jones did.
exactly dude! in the wayne manor scene he flips it like 5 times wanting the scarred side facing up to let him shoot bruce. It shows bias and Harvey twoface is not about that. and for the people saying he should of had the multiple personality disorder in TDK, no one gets it that quickly so im glad they made it realistic. by the way, since when is two face goofey? what the hell was going through their minds? "hey let's make him like jack nicholsons joker!"
@Scoonertuna No the in the nolan's version, the two face also does that. esp in the car where he flips the coin twice and ends up killing the driver to destroy the car
@lifesgreat96 He flipped the coin twice because there were two people in the car. Remember, Harvey was a DA. If couldn't get Justice done one way he would find an alternate route. Flipping the coin for the driver was a loophole in Two-Face's system of Justice. If the coin had flipped heads, instead of tails, he wouldn't have killed the driver and, like the Joker, Harvey would have let him go.
@dessertbig couldn't agree more. another thing [i just noticed]: Nolan's Batman couldn't HANDLE multiple bad-guys (remember the scene in which Batman fights Ra's al Ghul's (ie. Liam Neeson's Ra's. not the old-guy Ra's at the beginning of the movie) ninjas, and he fights a whole bunch of 'em, and is later overwhelmed), whereas Michael Keaton's Batman COULD handle lots of bad guys all at once.
I don't think it was from a comic, but the dialogue is very comic-y in terms of batman, where Batman has a say in which he uses the Villain's ideals or own words against them.
@Dmasterman YEAH!!! batmans eyes when penguin says "the direct approach" is batman all over the obsession and drive is all present in a single stare which are just two pools of darkness.
This is how batman should be not a shoutiing idiot but a calm and intelligent guy who frightens with his air of menace and question mark over his sanity to the crooks.
@Dmasterman DAMN right Keaton didnt have thebuild of a traditional Bruce/Batman but he is still the most beleivable actor to play the role imo his dead eyes after penguins "direct approach" line was just epic all the determination,drive and obsessiveness of Batman in a single glance THATS why he is the best actor to ever take the role imo.
but also, what real-life actor DOES have the six-pack bodybuilder-type body of a traditional Bruce/Batman [and look realistically and/or "not 'too muscular'"]? almost NO-ONE, practically (except maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a bodybuilder but that (his heavily-muscular body) was an EXAGGERATION! O_O ). Keaton DEFINITELY had a muscle-bound-enough body, and the right facial expressions, and the most believable expressions [and acting] to..
Actually, if you remember in the first film, Batman fought no clowns (Aside from the Joker). He fought henchman wearing jackets and sunglasses and hats/berets.
@exodusx599 Warner Brothers fucked it up with "Batman Forever", but they fucked it up EVEN *MORE* with "Batman & Robin". it was like a final "fuck you" to the fans of the Tim Burton "Batman" movies (which is how Batman is really supposed to be. dark and gothic. Batman was a character born in tragedy. His parents were murdered in cold blood.. right in front of him. When he was only 8 years old (or 9, or something like that). That's enough to make a kid go crazy, and/or wanting revenge and/or ..
@exodusx599 ..justice for his family, and to make sure that what happened to him never happens to anyone [else] ever again. Unless he had proper guidance from someone on what to do and/or how to get through the pain (like Alfred helped Bruce) he'd go ballistic.
No, they did it because they thought it looked realistic. It was his attempt to make it flashy, and I doubt you knew everything that went on in that scene in begins.
Nolan even admit this and was criticized on it so he did hire a fight coordinator and kept the camera still. Perhaps you are the slow one, and I also think you probably believe a lot of martial arts work when they don't
I hated the fighting scenes. they had bad filming and it was so blurry you couldn't see shit. I've seen better fighting in 1950's kung fu flick than that movie. In fact it was so terrible they got a fight choreographer in the next movie.
I didn't think a guy who wears tights could be such a bad ass. He first blows that fat guy to pieces, then he gets licked on the lips by beautiful catwoman. Bad ass.
heathe ledger(the joker) michelle pfeifer( dont know exactly the spelling..catwoman)..and danny devito(the penguin)..best villains ever......nolan should make the sequel following the ending of this one...it would be a kick ass movie ever!!!!!!!....despiting unfornately thw work of schumacher........i hope nolan read this...no way...but thta idea would kick the major asss ever
Wow I forgot, unlike the Bale Batman that goes out of his way to make sure you go to jail, the Keaton Batman would straight up kill you if you pissed him off enough.
I wouldn't at all compare it with the bourne films. The movement was dark, flashy and hardly visible, Nolan himself said he did this to cut down on choreography while giving the audience the feel of how a criminal would see Batman fighting. It wasn't really all that spectacular.
batman has killed in comics. anyway, who gives a sh** about the comics, its a movie, all the movies take sh**load of liberties with the source material. seriously, does anyone really give a crap about the comics? i dont think so.
HELL YEA!!! The Batman ownz!!! Some people dont like him because he doesnt have powers and im like kiss my ass The Batman kicks too much ass, Superman gets owned way too much to b super. Nolan is good though way better than joel lol
Batman Returns scared the living shit out of me when I first saw it, now it's my 3rd favorite Batman movie losing out to Batman 1989 and Batman Begins
I was coulple months old when this movie came out but now im 16 I said because I dont remember this movie so I cant say I was scared. but I was looking up The Batman movies and I read parents were complaining about Batman Returns being too dark and scary for their children which I found interesting
heh and now you look at what nolan created and its just as dark and violent if not worse. I wish tim burton would create an anime the continued his story
This video shows what Batman Begins totally lacked: great villains. The scene between Batman, Penguin, and Catwoman is classic. Great dialogue and incredible music. Also, this movie doesn't try to simplify the characters' psychology w/ simple words. Michelle Pfeiffer's transformation from Selina Kyle to Catwoman is far more convincing than Christian Bale's transformation from Bruce Wayne to Batman.
I don't know how you can say Begins is more true to the comic. When did you remember Batman ever using a Bat tank? Unless you refer to Frank Miller's Batman lol.
Technically Batman killed Rhas (No, even 'not helping someone' would be killing them).
Penguin was a new design yes, kind of like how TDK's Joker paints his face instead of becomming chemically scarred. And who cares about the batmobile? The main version of the vehicle is usually a sleek thin model, not a Tank. Scarecrow's design was so bleh, he basically was a man with a poatatoe sack on his head. At least they got his persona right, but I believe Crane was much older.

@exodusx599 Warner Brothers fucked it up with "Batman Forever", but they fucked it up EVEN *MORE* with "Batman & Robin". it was like a final "fuck you" to the fans of the Tim Burton "Batman" movies (which is how Batman is really supposed to be. dark and gothic. Batman was a character born in tragedy. His parents were murdered in cold blood.. right in front of him. When he was only 8 years old (or 9, or something like that). That's enough to make a kid go crazy, and/or wanting revenge and/or ..

@exodusx599 ..justice for his family, and to make sure that what happened to him never happens to anyone [else] ever again. Unless he had proper guidance from someone on what to do and/or how to get through the pain (like Alfred helped Bruce) he'd go ballistic.

hey if they say that Batman doesnt kill his enemies then why the hell did he kill that tough looking bald guy with the bomb?!

No, they did it because they thought it looked realistic. It was his attempt to make it flashy, and I doubt you knew everything that went on in that scene in begins.
Nolan even admit this and was criticized on it so he did hire a fight coordinator and kept the camera still. Perhaps you are the slow one, and I also think you probably believe a lot of martial arts work when they don't

I hated the fighting scenes. they had bad filming and it was so blurry you couldn't see shit. I've seen better fighting in 1950's kung fu flick than that movie. In fact it was so terrible they got a fight choreographer in the next movie.

I wouldn't at all compare it with the bourne films. The movement was dark, flashy and hardly visible, Nolan himself said he did this to cut down on choreography while giving the audience the feel of how a criminal would see Batman fighting. It wasn't really all that spectacular.

This video shows what Batman Begins totally lacked: great villains. The scene between Batman, Penguin, and Catwoman is classic. Great dialogue and incredible music. Also, this movie doesn't try to simplify the characters' psychology w/ simple words. Michelle Pfeiffer's transformation from Selina Kyle to Catwoman is far more convincing than Christian Bale's transformation from Bruce Wayne to Batman.

I would rank the batman movies like so.
1. Batman Begins (sorry tim, but its more true to the comics)
2. cant decide between this and the first batman (not Batman: the movie from the 60s)
and I'm not even gonna bother to rank those pieces of shit in between this and Batman Begins.
woadancincolours 3 years ago
I don't know how you can say Begins is more true to the comic. When did you remember Batman ever using a Bat tank? Unless you refer to Frank Miller's Batman lol.

1. When does Batman kill someone? Never but he did in this movie.
2. They ruined the Penguin in the movie.
3. Burton kills of the Joker in the first movie, you don't do that no matter what. That was a dumb fucking idea.
4. Who cares about what the bat-mobile looks like, there's so many damn versions.
5. Begins was more true to the comics.
Burtons were good fun but not close enough to the comics unlink BB was and TDK will be.
CrisisCore9 3 years ago
Technically Batman killed Rhas (No, even 'not helping someone' would be killing them).
Penguin was a new design yes, kind of like how TDK's Joker paints his face instead of becomming chemically scarred. And who cares about the batmobile? The main version of the vehicle is usually a sleek thin model, not a Tank. Scarecrow's design was so bleh, he basically was a man with a poatatoe sack on his head. At least they got his persona right, but I believe Crane was much older.
