Which was your favourite batman movie?

[TheAvenged87]

Here is a topic I like to talk about.

My absolute favourite Batman movie of all time has to be the Dark Knight.

1. You don't need an origins story, that has been covered in Batman Begins...which means more time for Batman-ing.
2. Christian Bale is the best Batman. He is the closest incarnation to the comic book Bruce Wayne that I've seen. Drunken playboy in public, in control bad ass strategist detective everywhere else. I've spent a lot of my life reading Batman and this is what I would've wanted him to be like.
3. Heath Ledger as the Joker. Many people forget that the Joker is much darker than a simple clown in a purple suit. He thrives on chaos and is a brilliant strategist. Ledger played to that side. He has no need for monetary gain, everything he does is a planned "accident" and he just wants to get a chaotic snowball rolling.
4. Gary Oldman is the BEST Jim Gordon to have ever been portrayed in a movie. I will go so far as to say that he is the best adaptation of any comic book character to have ever played in a comic book-based movie. He nailed the selfless, honest cop in the midst of a corrupt city.
5. Harvey Dent. This is what Two Face should be like. Not Tommy Lee Jones in a pink zebra suit. The entire transformation mechanic used in the movie was a stroke of genius.
6. Michael Cain is a great Pennyworth. He doesn't fit the mould of the conventional Alfred, but that doesn't matter too much. He actually created a new benchmark for the character that I cannot un-see when I read a Batman book.

I can't think of anything more to write here, but I'll add as I go along. I'm sure there is a lot more where this came from.

Agree with you on all of them and i like the last three's vehicles more than the other movies, Specially that aventador man that thing was beautiful

 

[Tydmors]

My pick was for Batman & Robin (1997).
It must have been my favourite as a youngster because of the cool cast (Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell and Uma Thurman)

 

[brendanvb]

Not a huge Batman fan but the Nolan films (specifically Dark Knight as most would say) were pretty amazing by superhero standards. I've actually still gotta watch the last one...

 

[ClockworkNinja]

I think Tim Burton's 1989 Batman is my favourite, ,not because its the best, but because its the first movie I ever saw in the Cinema. My dad took me as a surprise. We went again to watch Batman returns when it came out too. I was scared sh*tless!

In my opinion Jack Nicholson made the perfect Joker in looks, but Heath Ledger got the Joker crazy down perfectly. All in all, I basically love them all (except for that joke that was Batman and Robin), but Batman means something special to me. I cant wait for my boy to be old enough to enjoy it with me.

 

[Stunt]

Not being the greatest fan of the Nolan-Verse Batmans, my favourite remains Dark Knight as, like with most, I found the portrayal of Joker to be immaculate and very well written.

My all time favourites have always been the Animated One's, which has me very excited for the Batman Superman movie.

 

[Donisia]

I clicked on the wrong one

 

[Jaco Smit]

I voted Batman & Robin, isnt that the one with Alicia Silverstone?

 

[ClockworkNinja]

I have to agree with that. The animated movies are great. It doesn't matter how old you get.

 

[TheAvenged87]

So...poll over?

 

[shaddowdragon]

The Dark Knight Rises (2012), the pit prison escape of course.

 

[The_Imp_ZA]

I voted Batman & Robin, isnt that the one with Alicia Silverstone?

Oh for sure Go team nip nip go! Seriously, they're going to poke someones eye out with those things. Not that I would mind... "whistling:

So, who else voted for Batman & Robin forever. Honestly, the movie is terrible, but I just have to watch it. It's so phoned in that is almost does a 360 and becomes good. Plus we have the masterpiece that is Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting:

What killed the dinosaurs?
THE ICE AGE

badum tssshhhh

 

[FarligOpptreden]

I'm on Tapatalk, so can't vote in polls. Can I please have a vote for Mr Freeze?! Arnie on Ice, what's not to love?

 

[Iam3G]

Being young, I watched most those Batman movies but never really 'understood' them. To me it was just a movie. So my most memorable Batman experience would be the Christopher Nolan movies.

 

[ViperGTI]

I voted Batman & Robin, isnt that the one with Alicia Silverstone?

And that was my only motivation for watching that movie again.

 

[mk786]

For me it's gotta be The Dark Knight Rises (2012). The story line was mind blowingly unpredictable!

 

[murfle]

I purposefully skipped all Batmans between Keaton and Bale. Just didn't seem right to me...

But still, nobody messes with Adam We...

That's just because of the obvious plot holes. A CIA-sponsored aircraft does not detect a non-stealth plane flying slowly above its flight trajectory. Dagget’s plan to take over Wayne Enterprises makes no sense. Ok. He needs Bruce Wayne’s fingerprints to make a bunch of bad stock decisions in order to momentarily ruin the company and push him out of the board. Fine – so far so good.

But why the hell would you use Bruce’s fingerprints the same day as your planned Stock Market attack? Don’t you think that if all the policemen are not descendants of interbreeding families they would find it suspicious that Bruce Wayne was not present on the scene of the attack and that none of the hundreds of witnesses saw him there? Could they find it suspicious that Wayne Enterprises goes down the exact second the terrorists are leaving the Gotham Stock Market in shambles? Wouldn't all transactions be cancelled or called into question anyway after the computer systems were hacked in an armed raid? If the whole plan was to get a simple atomic bomb – couldn’t they just buy or create one themselves without having to produce this convoluted mess that could fail at every step of the way? So the Gotham police force is finally out of the sewers after 5 months of increasing malnutrition and gay urges. Their plan? Find Bane’s army (soldiers with AK-47s and tanks) and charge them with a few handguns. No surprise. No surrounding strategy. Just a good old suicidal medieval B-line. It’s a miracle Bane’s soldiers also happened to be retards themselves and decided to fist fight trained police officers instead of mowing them down with their weapons. But one thing is even weirder: all the cops were clean-shaved. This means that aside from food – Gillette razors and creams were the number 1 item sent in the sewers. Bruce Wayne had to spend days hiding around one of Gotham’s destroyed bridge to paint a batman symbol with gasoline. He probably needed a few gallons – which mean he had to climb up and down a few times to finish his masterpiece while avoiding both Bane’s mercenaries and the police. But you know, you can’t put a price on a shitty bat-signal that will destroy your surprise advantage and potentially kill you when you can add the thrill of trying to disarm a nuclear bomb minutes before it explodes instead of having a head-start. Catwoman is the best burglar in the world. She is the definition of stealthy: she can drive a 800-pounds motorcycle up a set of stairs right next to Batman and Bane without them noticing anything. It’s probably because of the high-heels. Bane commands one of his soldiers to stay in the crashing plane - aka to sacrifice his life - because the CIA will expect the crashed remains to have one prisoner body inside. But Bane simply wasted a comrade's life. The CIA has engineers and forensic experts that will be able to see that the plane was attacked from the exterior - bullets fired from outside the windows - and holes dug outside the cockpit by mechanical wrenches.

There is no way for the CIA to assume nothing fishy and fancy happened. Considering the wings will be miles away from the rest of the remains - even an inbred postman would be able to grasp the physical concept that no plane can crash like this on its own. Thus, with all the efforts put into his master-plan, Bane sacrificed a soldier for nothing and put a lot of effort into a stealth operation that will simply not work. Which is all the more confusing when you think about the fact that the actor who plays the sacrificed soldier shows-up later in the film on a bridge scene with the U.S. army. Nolan’s Batman universe is realistic. This is why the Stock Exchange attack is clearly shown during the day only to suddenly turn into nightfall 4 minutes later when Batman shows-up on his Bat-cycle to Bat-own the shit out of those time sorcerers.When Catwoman makes the fingerprint deal to sell Bruce Wayne’s identity she tricks the bad guy into using the kidnapped official’s phone, hence allowing the police to trace his whereabouts as he has been reported missing. However, the police arrive at the bar in a matter of seconds – including Commissioner Gordon! They must have been hanging around just out the front. The police finally corners the Batman after his 8 year leave of absence. The excitement gets the best of the GCPD and the raging boners are increasingly difficult to hide. Batman is stuck in a hallway with cops covering the only exit. But SURPRISE! Batman takes off in his flying Bat-Lobster that generates more sound than a pack of rogue lawnmowers in a kinder garden.

How the hell did Batman land this flying sound-nightmare in the middle of the city without anyone noticing? Yes, it’s painted black – which I am sure was quite useful when he landed the thing during the sunny day before reaching the Bank. Adding the fact that it would still sound like a helicopter flying right beside your face makes us wonder what type of people live in Gotham.It is very nice of Bane to offer Batman a television while he stays in an underground prison in Shitistan. You have to realize that a few of his henchmen had to dig a 30-stories hole through the desert beside the prison to be able to pass the cable and power source to get the TV to work. Then those same henchmen had to think out-loud ‘’Now where the fuck do we connect this ?’’ and realize that the closest power supply was in the neighboring town a few miles away. Then they had to buy more wire extensions and dig another small tunnel to hide the wires. The few henchmen that survived the exhausting ordeal then had to sexually bargain the access to an electrical socket owned by the tribe leader who controls all the electricity in the region. This could have been a movie by itself.Bruce becomes a cripple (for whatever reason we might add). He doesn’t think he has what it take to return as the Batman anymore. Fortunately for him, he gets a robot leg upgrade that makes him able to kick through concrete. So when Cyborg-Batman meets his nemesis, Bane, for the first time, he sticks to his fists to hurt Bane and never uses his Super-Saiyan leg to tear his limbs off. And actually, the demonstration of his new cyber-leg will be the first and only time it is ever seen or mentioned in the screenplay. The CIA agrees to take some hooded prisoners aboard their plane because they work for the 'masked-man' called Bane. The CIA, an organization that is known to be very rigid, thoughtful and safe in their internal action plan decides to NOT look at any of the prisoner's face before getting them on the plane. You know, in case someone has a bomb or emitter in their mouth - or if someone has a mask and is called Bane.

Summarized version - The story falls apart if you look closer. Realistic Batman is anything but.
