In my opinion, the best line in this scene at the very first Batman movie in 1989...

"You ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?"

I prefer the 89 version even if it differs more than the comic, it has a creepier atmosphere. I read complaints about Bruce not showing any emotion: Of course not! If I were threatened by a scary guy with a gun, I wouldn't have time to cry.

you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight > don't be afraid bruce...

[SpiffyAnthony]

you know what i wonder... what would it be like if they remade batman 20-30 years from now?

Thomas Wayne: Son... Don't be afrai-

Bruce: hold on, Dad... I gotta beat this last level of Angry Birds on my iPhone... I almost got it THE HIGH SCORE!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?! oh and check this out, i got an app that makes my phone act like a gun... BANG! haha i got you dad!

1989 version was creepier - Jack Nicholson, that line about the devil, etc. But the 2005 version was better in showing why Bruce Wayne won't use guns, and how enraged he is that all it takes is a cheap little tool to destroy a man like Thomas Wayne. Perhaps the coolest thing about Batman is the constant reinterpretation of a few basic ideas.

I like how in begins it shows what a sad scared little man Joe Chill was. A thief who went to far.

The one from Batman: The Animated Series is the most accurate. Thomas and Martha walk down a tunnel, which rips out of the ground to reveal itself as a giant gun barrel. It rises to the sky as the city crumbles apart into an inferno, blood oozing out of the barrel. Flames lick across it as the hammer pulls back, leaving Bruce to shout no helplessly when all goes white and the gun shot echos throughout the void.

That's how Batman remembers it anyway...

The BEGINS scene is more accurate, but I find the 89 version to be more chilling and memorable. In the begins version the murder was clearly out of fear and panic. In the 89 version it was clearly cold blooded and a true act of evil, and to me that was more terrifying.

Plus I personally never minded Burton's change to having Joker kill Batman's parents.

poor bruce and when he was a kid

I'd have to go with Batman Begins. Don't get me wrong, 1989 was a good movie, it's just that for accuracy, it was Joe Chill and not Jack Napier (the Joker doesn't have a real name) who created Batman.

@pewparoothepewparoo if the Other Mugger is Chill, he must be credited as Young Bob, not Other Mugger. Also Chill scared runs like the Jack Napier's partner in this film. Bob isn't nervous like Chill.
