Batman Match-Edit vs. The Dark Knight Trailer (Split-Screen)

My edit of the TDK trailer with '89 Batman footage, split-screen for comparison.

Note: The top video was NOT created by Warner Bros., or any company affiliated by them. It was edited together by me in December 2007.

Is there any chance you could make the '89 Batman you posted here but with the dialog from the movie itself with Elfman's soundtrack? Basically a modernized version of the Batman '89 trailer? Also, maybe touch up the Batman Returns trailer? (Even though that one was near perfection)

@AftermathRebel I could, haha, but I'm a little busy with other projects right now. I'm not sure it would strictly work like you're thinking with this trailer, since most of those clips you're only seeing part of lines and not very good ones at that.

This clip showes, why The Dark Knight is better than the other movie 20 years before.

[VaportrailFilms]

@qwuezalothus What it shows is how filmmaking style has evolved in those 20 years and even with all the changes, just how much they still draw on the source material. "Better" isn't an easy consideration to make with 20 years in-between them. If you took two groups of people at the same time and said "Go make a Batman movie", then you could prolly pick one easily. As is, it's not a fair comparison.

The Joker sure likes to blow up things. x)

That's we we love 'im. =P

Not true, Keaton has different voices for Bruce and Batman. Bale's Batman has the same constant growling voice, which is why it's been made fun of by many people on the net: watch?v=mSAhuL8FJuQ

i love this two batman versions.

Great job. By looking at this you can see how accurate both portrayals of the Joker are when it comes to the comic book version they were based on. Jack played the silver age Joker incredibly well. Heath played modern age Joker perfectly. Both actors did an incredible job with the character.

@VaportrailFilms

I have a very big request, if you won't mind it.

Could you make another re-edit match video like this from the 1. normal trailers of Batman returns and The Dark Knight Rises? Pleeeese.

Batman 1989 > Dark Knight

Keaton as Batman > Bale as Batman

1989 Batmobile > Dark Knight Batmobile

Jack Nicholson as Joker > Legder as Joker

Batman `89! It`s been one of favorites/if not favorite movie ever! I`ve loved it since I was a kid, and just get better every time you watch it.

However, I love what Nolan has done with Batman. Personally I can`t compare either, they both tell different stories, and they`re both done so well!

Is anyone going to point out what was wrong with Batman? True, it was a great movie, but it wasn't perfect.

1. Batman uses lethal force.

2. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be a rich playboy. Keaton didn't do this.

3. Batman is supposed to be a martial arts master. Yet in this movie, he gets knocked around quite a bit. Especially when he's climbing the tower at the end.

On the other hand, it's not fair to compare Nicholson to Ledger as the Joker. Ledger could do it for adults only, Nicholson didn't.

[STONECOLD1987]

Batman '89 all the way can't beat Nicholson & Keaton's performances Dark Knight sucks!!!
