Kalenz I agree, but... I think I love Gotham just as much. I feel like Gotham is the original Batman movies with Michael Keaton and The dark knight series combined!
@@mpuchar5003 Batman Begins and The Dark Knight I think were the best Batman movies. The Dark Knight Rises didn't live up to the first 2 BUT was still a good film.
Richard Dong Those were prison inmates that escaped with help from Scarecrow n Ra's al ghul to provide as distraction while they carried out their objective.
“It’s not who you are underneath but what you do that defines you” such a great and spot on line. You can be the best person in your mind/feelings but what you actually do in life is how you’ll be remembered/viewed.
She rejected him when he was a playboy because she wants a man of honour but she also rejected him when he was a symbol of honour you can't force someone to like you it's a curse
@@deveshtimetraveler9891 She wanted the guy who would stand up and make Gotham better, like his father, the Bruce she first knew, not the Bruce who carried a gun, the one who ran away, or the one who hid behind a mask. That's why after the court case she told him his father would be ashamed.
Just like Tobey Maguire is the best Spiderman Robert Downey Jr was born to play Iron Man Hugh Jackman was born to play Wolverine Heath Ledger was born for the Joker Also... Christian Bale is born to play the Batman, no one can do better than him
I disagree strongly. Stark build a reactor in a cave with a box of scraps. And his ingenuity comes from the fact that he is a builder at heart. Thats badass too
I love how sentimental Batman Begins was. It did not shy away from being too emotional. Which I would never expect from Nolan if I only knew his three previous movies before this, all of which were emotionally cold and stoic.
0:49 "There is an idea of a Bruce Wayne, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there."
Batman Begins tests his fear as he let's go of his past and overcomes his fears. Dark Knight tests his mind as he questions why he has become Batman and deals with the chaos and consequences that comes with it. Dark Knight rises tests his will as he faces a more powerful foe and has to rise again and overcome his failures.
Personally she came off as very judgemental which I didn't like. Like when she came to Bruce's house for-I believe-his birthday, realizes her boss is dead and yells something along the lines of "some of us have work to do Bruce". She was always acting like she was the only person who cared about Gotham, which really made me dislike her.
hazeddon I can definitely see it that way, but Maggie on the other hand was incredibly boring, had absolutely no chemistry with Bale, and was actually very annoying. I thought she was a terrible replacement
Because she fucked up this epic scene with mediocre acting. Could have been eternal, so it's just a "ohh" scene. The music saved it for not becoming ridiculous.
For some reason 1:20 is one of my favourite shots in the whole trilogy. The music, the pan out, Bales acting. He wants her to know how he feels as both Bruce Wayne and Batman but he knows he can't.
Don't cry for the person u love, instead always choose that one who loves u unconditionally. Rachel left Bruce despite his love and heroics but Selina returned for him. This defines how much she loved and cared for him...
Feels like I'm the only one who likes Part 3 the most. And I'm not one to like sequels very often. The dialogue didn't drop off at all. A lot of very powerful, character building moments. To name a few...the scene where he returns and the cops surround him as he looks on in disappointment/feeling betrayed was very moving. Then the escape from the pit was brilliant as well. It all gets tied up nicely with him being willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for Gotham. We still don't know for sure whether he survived and found love with Selena Kyle. A great conclusion, open to interpretation of the audience. For me the order is 3, 1, 2. I love origin stories and Neeson is my favorite actor, so I had to put it in 2nd place. But the margins are very thin. Just an amazing series from Nolan. I think highly of Pattinson as an actor but I just can't see anyone reaching this level with this franchise again.
Back in 2005, it was awesome to see the new Bat and hear the music, feel the motivation, enjoy the scene. It's still the same, even in 2018! I don't care if Ben does the Bat or doesn't. We already have a Batman and he's retired. It's just we all have accepted and have moved on with it, except the DCU makers.
TheDeathmail sometimes in life u don’t have to move on for me idc what or who will be batman for next 20 years or so christian bale will be THE batman for me, it’s like when jesus died in the cross no one forgot about him he still lives within our heart for the rest of our lives and that is nolan movies for me
So well written. True film talent all around. Just from the echo of the girls in the background, imagine it like paid homage to the comics that started this all. C. Nolan in his prime here.
The best Batman of the Trilogy is the one from Batman begins. The Dark Knight is awesome because of the joker, but I think Batman was more realistic and frightening in the first one.
Nolan captured the entire spirit of Batman and what he stands for and represents with these scenes. The idea that a man is not defined by what he thinks of himself, or what others think of him, but by his actual actions. It's what the Snyder films in particular did not appreciate about Bruce Wayne and Batman.
Loved the chemistry between Bale and Holmes. Especially Bale put on an awesome act, you could really tell that Bruce loved Rachel just by the way he looked at her. Made the plot of The Dark Knight even more tragic, I shipped them so much x_x
IDK she seemed like a hyper-judgemental nazi. And nothing was ever good enough for her, he was a fuckin' billionaire super-hero in his 20's and she was still being uppity as hell. I wonder who she even dated? You just know it was some lowlife xanny dealer or something, or her old ballerina coach or some headcase nonsense
Absolute masterpiece of expressing emotions by these two actors!!! Fabulous, just fabulous! And I must say, that what I really love is the way they looked at each other. They look at each other as two super best friends, people who know each other very well and really 'connect'. I love that Katie created that 'perfect best friend' character, instead of being seductress, femme fatale or damsel in distress. The whole acting is very natural and heart warming. I also love Christan's way of managing "switching" between his all 3 identities. We see The Playboy, Real Bruce, but there's also a hint of Batman there : "I am more" ( which reminds of the place scene with Bruce and Alfred). And using the same words to show the complexity of human choices and behaviours, wow... : "It is not who you are / I am underneath..." . It's a great lesson to never judge the book by its cover.
Remember, you only get 1 life so make it count. Live, love and laugh; to the fullest. When action is required, just do it. No matter what anyone says, it is your life. You live for yourself. So unless you’re a puppet you cannot be controlled or manipulated in any way. You were given a voice, use it. Stand up for yourself and your neighbor. No matter the cost because at the end of the day, “it’s what you do that defines you.”
It’s only upon rewatch of this scene that I noticed a subtle but brilliant detail. At approx. 0:41-0:56 when Bruce answers Rachel’s question if you pay attention you’ll notice something. Bruce’s entire demeanor changes when alluding to the “Batman”. First he smiles awkwardly before becoming intently serious. This is indicative of Batman’s character, whereas Bruce Wayne is Batman’s mask. Opposed to what we usually see from superheroes in which it’s the opposite. This is incredible acting on the account of Bale and it’s amazing to watch. It’s a great commentary of Bruce’s psyche, as to how he views himself and by an extension his two identities. As the change is immediate, which suggest Bruce’s mentality trumps his humanity. As “Batman” will automatically, almost unwillingly take over Bruce, once he’s doing anything remotely related to it. Really great stuff.
@@christianhuston897 No, she couldn't be in the next movie because Stientology church FORBID family members of its participants to take part in ANY PUBLIC ACTIVITY (including starring in the movies) outside church itself, that's why she resumed her acting career AFTER divorce with Cruise and leave the church...
This is why Christian Bale is my favorite live action Batman. His Batman and Bruce Wayne feel like two different characters entirely. He really sells the dual identity of the character.
I know it's just a movie but when Bruce sees Rachel for the first time and looks at her face while she's talking you can tell he was so smitten by her. His smile was so big and bright. It's a shame they couldn't be together.
I just realized scarecrow helped solidify the legend of the bat. Without this incident batman really is a guy in a suit. However this crazy hallucentated version of him probably traumatized and etched the batman into Gotham criminals and civilians alike.
Her last scene with Bruce bascially amounted to her telling him to commit suicide by engaging Falcone. *7 years later and worldwide belief that he was dead until a few days ago.* Rachel sees Bruce. No hug. No glad you're ok. Just speechifying. That isn't Katie Holmes' fault.
@@lukas9990 You said no to Christian Bale being the best Batman which I someone agree but Ben Affleck isn't the best either. Not sure who you personally think is the best Batman but IF you think Ben is the best the answer is ALSO ( as you put) Nope. Ben was decent in BVS. Sucked in JL.
Xman The legendary something yes underrated. Absolutely. You’ll be amazed with how many people here in this town completely crap over Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy.
Totally agree. People have their opinions but whenever I read anyone say Maggie G was better in TDK, I just don't know what movie they were watching. She was just so dull and lifeless in the role. She didn't even seem like a believable lawyer. Holmes felt both like a real lawyer and she gave Rachel an energy and outward toughness that Maggie G simply lacked.
@@drlee2 I don't think Maggie did a bad job, I just think she was miscast. This isn't her type of role in the first place. Also, I can see why some people don't like Katie Holmes in this movie, but I think she did a great job! She's very charming and sweet and strong. I completely get why Bruce is so attracted to her. Now, Maggie in some interviews said that she loved what Katie did with the role, but that she wanted Rachel to be "a real woman", and I seriously don't think she succeeded. I don't see anywhere in The Dark Knight why both Bruce and Harvey are so attracted to her. All being said, that's why I prefer Katie Holmes in the role. I am still very upset to date that she didn't reprise her role. I would have enjoyed so much more The Dark Knight with Katie Holmes in it.
@@practiceyourart Maggie is better actress, but bales chemistry with Katie was far better. They made cute couple. That is why no one felt shit when Rachel died in dark knight.
Bruce feeling so helpless when he tries to explain, but gets schooled. One of the most vulnerable moments of Bruce. The other one is when Alfred tries to convince Bruce going against Bane and speaks about the letter Rachel wrote, that she chose Harvey. Some things never get fixed, they remain broken.
You can see how hurt Bruce is to lie to Rachel as he wants to tell her but ultimately he has to sacrifice having a normal life and the things he wants in order to save Gotham! Christopher Nolan really understood how to write Bruce and Batman better than anyone else, and I don’t think anyone will ever top it either, it’s why the dark knight trilogy is the best ever!
This movie, the conflict beetwen his real identity and the way he seeks redemption from his own fears - either through Rachel or batman - is SO beautiful
Interesting choice to give Batman a "Mary Jane". All these years later I'm still not sure it was a good one. But Nolan certainly makes it work. That guy can make anything work
Comrade Snake Infinity War is comparable to this. But the Dark Knight trilogy is something that will never be replicated, and I say that as a Marvel fan.
Christian Bale was perfect for this role, he can perfectly portray a cocky, irresponsible and silly millionaire and an smart and serious hero at the same time.
There are people who can reduce and melt away any notion of a front, walls and facade. People that make you feel vulnerable or back to that little child they once knew you as. You’d hate to look wrong in front of them, you’d hate to disappoint or hurt them. You can see a struggle in him. This isn’t who I am.
Christian bale is amazing actor and he was born to play batman . Every scene with bale in the batman begins was perfect. Thank god they choose bale for this triolgy
These two scenes brilliantly showcase how key the duality is to Batman. The delineation between the two personas is what motivated both of them to pursue their goals. Bale is the best live-action Bat for a reason, and this reason is right here.

Fernando Vargas Mejía It was the batsuit in this one! It looked more intimidating and fierce than the motocross suit in TDK and TDKR.

Katie Holmes > Maggie Gyllenhaal
Reezy disagree.
like hell! Katie is the only flaw of this movie. Everything and everyone else is 10/10
MrJchristopher7 I wouldn’t go as far as to say only but one of the few.
Whatever Katie was great to me too. Hated that she didn't reprise the role.
Katie was so much better then Maggie it really annoyed me she didn’t reprise the role
I just realized scarecrow helped solidify the legend of the bat. Without this incident batman really is a guy in a suit. However this crazy hallucentated version of him probably traumatized and etched the batman into Gotham criminals and civilians alike.
That end scene still give me chills when he says and jumps and leaves the girl shocked and fly in style and the boss music starts playing.
Her last scene with Bruce bascially amounted to her telling him to commit suicide by engaging Falcone.
*7 years later and worldwide belief that he was dead until a few days ago.*
Rachel sees Bruce. No hug. No glad you're ok.
Just speechifying.
That isn't Katie Holmes' fault.
Best Batman ever
Nope
@@lukas9990 Yeah well it ain't Ben either homeslice.
@@j.t.thomas1859 So? who said something about Ben?
@@lukas9990 You said no to Christian Bale being the best Batman which I someone agree but Ben Affleck isn't the best either. Not sure who you personally think is the best Batman but IF you think Ben is the best the answer is ALSO ( as you put) Nope. Ben was decent in BVS. Sucked in JL.
@@j.t.thomas1859 that I can only agree with
Best batman till date.
this is so iconic yet relatable. it gives chills everytime
Every time I watch this scene it still give me chills
One of the most underrated movies ever
Underrated??
Xman The legendary something yes underrated. Absolutely. You’ll be amazed with how many people here in this town completely crap over Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy.
Brian Stallings ha never seen or heard one person say anything bad about it
Yeah this movie is underrated while movies like Captain Marvel made 1 billion. Screw Marvel
Katie Holmes is so much better as Rachel
Totally agree. People have their opinions but whenever I read anyone say Maggie G was better in TDK, I just don't know what movie they were watching. She was just so dull and lifeless in the role. She didn't even seem like a believable lawyer. Holmes felt both like a real lawyer and she gave Rachel an energy and outward toughness that Maggie G simply lacked.
@@drlee2 I don't think Maggie did a bad job, I just think she was miscast. This isn't her type of role in the first place. Also, I can see why some people don't like Katie Holmes in this movie, but I think she did a great job!
She's very charming and sweet and strong. I completely get why Bruce is so attracted to her. Now, Maggie in some interviews said that she loved what Katie did with the role, but that she wanted Rachel to be "a real woman", and I seriously don't think she succeeded. I don't see anywhere in The Dark Knight why both Bruce and Harvey are so attracted to her.
All being said, that's why I prefer Katie Holmes in the role. I am still very upset to date that she didn't reprise her role. I would have enjoyed so much more The Dark Knight with Katie Holmes in it.
Maggie was much better, disagree with you. Glad she was recast
@@practiceyourart BULLSHIT Maggie was the WORST thing about The Dark Knight. She kept it from being a perfect movie.
@@practiceyourart Maggie is better actress, but bales chemistry with Katie was far better. They made cute couple. That is why no one felt shit when Rachel died in dark knight.

Oh my god.. You are right.. Did not noticed till now.
me too..just notice it
What is this
Rewatching this scene, it's fascinating to see how well they capture Bruce Wayne's mindset.
Inside, I am Batman. "Bruce Wayne" is the facade
Emotions.
Such wonderful depictions in his films. Absolutely marvellous Christopher Nolan.
Katie holmes and bale was such a nice couple.....i still adore this scene
Racheal is a true example that u can't win them all as a man: women r just so hard to please,........but we still love them
If they're easy to please, then they're, well, easy.
I can watch this movie any number of times! They stopped making movies this good!
Bruce feeling so helpless when he tries to explain, but gets schooled. One of the most vulnerable moments of Bruce. The other one is when Alfred tries to convince Bruce going against Bane and speaks about the letter Rachel wrote, that she chose Harvey. Some things never get fixed, they remain broken.
You can see how hurt Bruce is to lie to Rachel as he wants to tell her but ultimately he has to sacrifice having a normal life and the things he wants in order to save Gotham! Christopher Nolan really understood how to write Bruce and Batman better than anyone else, and I don’t think anyone will ever top it either, it’s why the dark knight trilogy is the best ever!
This movie, the conflict beetwen his real identity and the way he seeks redemption from his own fears - either through Rachel or batman - is SO beautiful
I hated her character so much. She didn’t know Bruce at all. Killing her off is what truly made the movies great.
Interesting choice to give Batman a "Mary Jane". All these years later I'm still not sure it was a good one.
But Nolan certainly makes it work. That guy can make anything work
there was a rachel in tas
Vicki Vale was kind of Batman's ''Mary Jane'' in the 1989 Batman movie, too.
"It's what I do that defines me"
- love the quote
Its positively comical they went from this Rachel to the unfortunate looking Rachel in the second movie.
I love her voice and her acting and his acting. Truly the best batman movie, better than the new ones. Twenty times better with the story and imagery
MARVEL AIN'T GOT SHIT ON THIS!
Comrade Snake Dark knight trilogy > MCU > DCEU
Yea...yea it does. Dark Knight might be the greatest movie ever but when you put the whole packages together mcu is way ahead.
Kisu Bags While your point could be valid, I would like you to read my first comment again.
Comrade Snake Infinity War is comparable to this. But the Dark Knight trilogy is something that will never be replicated, and I say that as a Marvel fan.
Spider man 2 is up there
Batman : Rachel All of THIS, NOT ME. INSIDE I'M MORE
BATEMAN : BUT INSIDE DOESN’T MATTER 🗿
Christian Bale was perfect for this role, he can perfectly portray a cocky, irresponsible and silly millionaire and an smart and serious hero at the same time.
There are people who can reduce and melt away any notion of a front, walls and facade. People that make you feel vulnerable or back to that little child they once knew you as. You’d hate to look wrong in front of them, you’d hate to disappoint or hurt them. You can see a struggle in him. This isn’t who I am.
This is classic. No one did it better, Nolan made it simple and brilliant
Rachel: “ Bruce! What are you doing here ?”
Bruce : “Argh nothing much, just buying this hotel” ❤️❤️❤️
Christian bale is amazing actor and he was born to play batman . Every scene with bale in the batman begins was perfect. Thank god they choose bale for this triolgy
These two scenes brilliantly showcase how key the duality is to Batman. The delineation between the two personas is what motivated both of them to pursue their goals. Bale is the best live-action Bat for a reason, and this reason is right here.
