It's a shame that Bob Kane passed before the Nolan Batman movies came out. It would have been interesting to see what he would think about them, especially The Dark Knight.
@ShadyRealRap96 No, I'm open to something different. I enjoy most interpretations of batman. Nolan's however...DOES sucks and IS boring. Perhaps not as a movie...but as a batman movie. Just because they paid to see it doesn't mean they liked it. I paid to see it on opening night...and was very disappointed in what I had seen. It's an awful batman movie. He even made Gotham boring as hell. He made it.....Chicago.W.T.F
@DecentExposureMedia What I like of Nolan's movies is that the scripts are well made and with interesting evolutions. 1989 "Batman" is my favourite movie, but the story lacked of something, especially it was too superficial treating the Joker's plot to poison people, it should have had more space in the story!! Begins had this great story evolving from a start then to an end!! However, Burton's Batman is better for many things that Nolan could never achieve, after all, Burton is Burton :D
Why does everyone have to be a fanboy? Why can there not be TWO cool Batman styles? Keaton's was fine at the time and Bale's is the best right now. In years to come there may be a third version better than the first two. Chill out haters.
@Johnlindsey289 I PREFER 80 batman but in general i love All things that got Batman on it exept the Batman and Robin movie that really sucked....But I love the animated series genius cartoon the best on evermade. But the batman cartoons that come after sucked ass well they werent dark enough I think. I also like the new Batman movies and the actors in it ( Kane, Freeman, Oldman=the best of the best. and offcourse bale he is perfect for batman now. But I don't like his voice do..
Props to Tim Burton for making two freakin awesome movies !! I think the only thing he did wrong was kill off the villains ! Arkham would have made these films almost perfect.
@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD Burton screwed up...in all respects by hiring Prince. He didn't want to date the film but in hiring him he did just that. Granted that the soundtrack was good
When this Batman came out it was a very exciting time that summer. It was just the summer of Batman, super hype everywhere, fun times. Prince's soundtrack also had some insanity to it, its based on the duality of evil/good, etc. one of Prince's great works. The outtakes are pretty great too.
I love the original 89' batman just as much as anybody else but if your gonna write how crappy nolan's batman films are and how tim burton & keaton are the best then do me a favor take your copy of batman begins and the dark knight dvd/blu-ray(because i know you fucken own them) break them in half,throw them in the fire until they become ashes and watch batman 89 over and over again.And when The Dark Knight Rises comes out in movies stay home dont even bother seeing it because you'll have Batman
i know that i'm stupid but the first nicholson's movie i see was batman and when saw for the first time the shining i just can't stop LAUGH ! cause i was always thinking about the joker LOL tim burton and jack nicholson rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I personally think Keaton is the better Batman & Bale is the better Bruce. Keaton portrays the craziness/duality of Batman much better. You're never sure whether Keaton will just completely crack or keep it together & save the day. Bale is always in control of Batman's role & his lion roar voice is plain annoying. Keaton's voice as Batman/Bruce is something I will always associate with the 80s. I've always preferred Keaton's Batmobile, too. Bale's looks too simple.
The Soundtrack to BATMAN 1989 was (By my opinion) THE BEST THEATRICAL SOUNDTRACK EVER MADE FOR A MOVIE.... Not Jurassic Park, Not BATMAN Dark Knight, not E.T. or any of that shit... Danny Eflman's FINEST WORK EVER was Batman 1989. I still listen to it this day. Beauiful Dreamer anyone?
@mrjustin5 Sadly, it is largely copied from the soundtrack to the Lon Chaney film The Wolfman. I say sadly, because I used to be a fan of it too...and then someone commented on it, I compared it, and they were right.
Petition Michael Keaton not to return as Batman, but only to don the cape and cowl again to reaffirm that he is the one and only Dark Knight. KEATON FOREVER!
Just showed how good Tim Burton´s Batman was !!! And the casting of Michael Keaton was NOT wrong !! It was a brilliant ! He needed an actor that had a look in his eyes that told you this man was not sane !!
Both Christian Bale and Michael Keaton were great as Batman, I just liked Bale better. I feel he had more depth. Keaton is EXCELLENT though, no question, the Nolan Bat flicks are just in an entirely different realm...
@ForgottenMemoriesFM I really don't understand everyone's beef with Bale's take on Batman's voice. I think it's well done and purposeful. I completely understand his intentions.
However, I'll admit it gets pretty strenuous to listen to, especially in "The Dark Knight." Still, I really like that take. Also, Nolan's Batman has more dialogue to deliver than Burton's Batman, so Keaton as Batman can get away with not disguising his voice because it is heard less frequently in the movies.
@TheFilipinoBoxer No disrespect, whatsoever, to Keaton. Keaton owned that role, I just personally like Bale better. Keaton's great though. He's one of the most underrated actors of all time, I'd say.
@nightwing01 thats always been controversy but no one can really say the story is always changing... bob told bill about the idea from the the man who laughs and he drew it after... then theres ones that bill and jerry did it...then ones that bill alone did.. bob always said bill drew it but takes credited for the idea ... like stan lee he never designed the characters and to be honest spiderman wouldn't have been a big success if drawn diferently yet he gets all the credit... its a tough one
The old Batman movies are the best (except for batman and robin with mr freeze). When I see the year and still this movie gives me the thrills I can say only - HUGE SUCCESS.
Bill Finger is getting his due today. Finger is always mentioned as the cocreator by comic historians and journalists. But because of legalities only Bob cane is the official creator with the licensed and official Batman products.
the art deco was cool, but really got out of hand, its actualy called German Expressionism. 1920's Norferatu was one of the best of the genre, although there were other awsome silent movies of the era.
@stitchgrl777 Yeah, I agree. Batman's world has to be different from our own a little. I found Nolan's movies good, but it never made me say "Wow, I so want to visit that place." Because, well, it's just Chicago.
You do realise that you can't have one without the other right? And that every aspect is not true, it's the same with every superhero, each writer is responsible in their own way for contributing to the character
@MackyMackn I know that Detective Comics #27, which came out on the 2nd of May 1939, featured Batman's first appearence. And I was talking about Bill Finger, and how he couldnt have created every aspect of Batman. Examples being Frank Miller, Grant Morrison and Alan Moore, helped mature Batman greatly. And dont bitch about Bob Kane, without his original sketchings and ideas, Bill Finger wouldnt have had the chance to produce Batman entirely.
"'virtually' every aspect" quite the difference. Your reading comprehension skills are lacking. Bob Kane made millions because of Finger and Finger died in poverty, so fuck Kane.
@MackyMackn Uh-huh, your basically criticising a 14-year old right now. You have a damn good point, and I can understand from where your coming from, but as I said earlier you can't have one without the other. Without Bill Finger we wouldn't have had the starting aspects of batman, but without Kane's idea and drawings it wouldn't have even gone to a storyboard.
Can I ask: Is there some petition to have Bill Finger credited for Batman, I've looked through issues and haven't seen his name at all
Well, Finger gave Batman the cape (originally he had wings) and made his eyes all white, but that's it. It's interesting to know that neither of them came up with Batman's parents being murdered.
he was born in 1915. give him a break. jees, you people want all of these old man to do back flips, and walk marathons. Stop being selfish, and allow them to die.
Superman has to be the role model. The all-around good guy who is bright and shines through the day.
Batman is dark and complex.He is an average guy who witnessed his parents death and vowed to take on the scum of Gotham City by using his intelligence.
Fair enough,Supermans parents also died, but he was just a baby and did'nt know his parents like Bruce Wayne knew his parents.And Superman grew up with his good-natured foster parents. Bruce had no-one.
Hope I'm around to see the centennial anniversary of The Batman. No matter who plays him, what counts is that the Dark Knight is still lurking in the darkness bringing justice to Gotham in a cape and cowl.
Nolan should stay away from the Joker now. He should do something else entirely. Don't come back a and try and beat what Ledger did in this kind of style.
That's what Bryan Singer did in Superman Returns. He got someone who looks like Reeve and got him to act the same and look what happened. Negative reactions from the fans and the movie bombed.
It's a death wish to try and immitate Ledger in Nolan's Batman world. And I don't think any actor would want to try.
If by modify you mean giving Batman a cowl instead of the domino mask, a cape instead of wings, gloves, removing the red sections from the original costume, and devising the name Bruce Wayne, then yes Bill Finger modified it.
in a way bob kane ''created'' batman but bill finger really did all the work, but either way bill finger didnt have the idea in his mind saying ''ill make a bat-man!'' bob did, and bill did EVERYTHING else.
I heard something that Tim Burton's idea for Batman 3 (BM: Forever) was going to have the Riddler as a darker version of himself. Not the Jim Carrey in the Riddler suit type. I also heard Burton's choices were either Johnny Deep (who's also a rumor now) and Robin Willaims. Can anyone tell me if it's true?
I agree as well. They claim to have made both Batman and James Bond more serious for modern audiences, but IMO all they've done is strip the fun out of the characters while still keeping the bad punchlines (eg Oldman's 'gotta get me one of those'). Upon reflection, Batman 89 may not have gotten it all right, but I still find it a lot more exciting than Begins. I haven't bothered with The Dark Knight. Too many people like it, ala The Simpsons Movie. I trust the minority.

If Chris Nolan was to cast a new Joker for future films (which is not entirely implausable) who could it be?
I'll go first and say Mark Wahlberg.

Nolan should stay away from the Joker now. He should do something else entirely. Don't come back a and try and beat what Ledger did in this kind of style.
That's what Bryan Singer did in Superman Returns. He got someone who looks like Reeve and got him to act the same and look what happened. Negative reactions from the fans and the movie bombed.
It's a death wish to try and immitate Ledger in Nolan's Batman world. And I don't think any actor would want to try.

@nesssaja The best Batman will always be Kevin Conroy. He's just perfect. Best Joker will always be Mark Hammill.

True, Bill Finger created the Batman. I can't stand to hear Kane talk about how he "created" Batman.
jcorle00 3 years ago
actually kane came up with the idea and finger helped him modify it
ThaRealJoeJonas 3 years ago
If by modify you mean giving Batman a cowl instead of the domino mask, a cape instead of wings, gloves, removing the red sections from the original costume, and devising the name Bruce Wayne, then yes Bill Finger modified it.
jcorle00 3 years ago 3
Yeah, true Finger should get more credit than he does but Bob Kane is still awesome for thinking of the original idea.
ThaRealJoeJonas 3 years ago 2
in a way bob kane ''created'' batman but bill finger really did all the work, but either way bill finger didnt have the idea in his mind saying ''ill make a bat-man!'' bob did, and bill did EVERYTHING else.

I heard something that Tim Burton's idea for Batman 3 (BM: Forever) was going to have the Riddler as a darker version of himself. Not the Jim Carrey in the Riddler suit type. I also heard Burton's choices were either Johnny Deep (who's also a rumor now) and Robin Willaims. Can anyone tell me if it's true?

I agree as well. They claim to have made both Batman and James Bond more serious for modern audiences, but IMO all they've done is strip the fun out of the characters while still keeping the bad punchlines (eg Oldman's 'gotta get me one of those'). Upon reflection, Batman 89 may not have gotten it all right, but I still find it a lot more exciting than Begins. I haven't bothered with The Dark Knight. Too many people like it, ala The Simpsons Movie. I trust the minority.

I agree with mk00y1, Burton's movies had character and personality, Nolan has an extremely bland directing style, there's no distinction.
