#firsttimewatching #moviereaction #batmanbegins
Haha, this one is the perfect example of "If you thought the FIRST one was good..."
Id argue this one is better than the next one. I know I am FAR in the minority...
@@frenchynoob Nothing wrong with that, even if i disagree.
@@frenchynoob his batman voice in this wasn't dumb
@@ingibingi2000 Agreed, in the next two he sounds like he's trying too damn hard.
@@lordmortarius538 Its mostly the perfomance of Heath Ledger that made the second movie so good. Everyone else is still doing a good job but the Joker character was just so on point.
Funny story - Nolan wanted Gary Oldman to play "Ras Al Gul" the villain, but Gary was at a point in his life where he began thinking of his kids & almost all of his parts were weird, crazy or villains. He wanted to play a good guy so they could see Dad more like his real personality. Nolan admired him so much as an actor that he agreed & got Liam Neeson for the bad guy.
Poor Mary was living the dream with a romance at the end. Then Katie just shot it dead. LOL Your reactions are always fun to watch. 🙂
Personally I'm glad there wasn't a romance at the end. I've always hated her character for slapping Bruce. Raising a hand against a traumatized individual is just disgusting. If the roles were reversed and Bruce had slapped her, it would have been equally distasteful.
@@wampatan9 Granted, I don't think Katie Holmes was strong enough of an actor to have made some of those moments work. It's a shame Nolan didn't cast Maggie Gyllenhaal from the start.
It's so rare nowadays, seeing someone who's into movies but doesn't know Batman's origin story.
edit: Alright let me rephrase since some of you seem to take the comment section of a reaction video so seriously.
"I find it surprising that a 20-something content creator who's been doing this for a while now and has seen other superhero related stuff has never heard of Batman's origin's story".
ffs.
My mom knows who Batman is but has no idea the origin lol it’s not that uncommon fyi she loves movies
How about someone who knows the Joker but not Batman?
@@StarkRG That was the one that blew my mind. Not shaming her in any way for it, of course, but it was just extraordinary to hear someone say they didn't realize the Joker was part of the universe containing Batman. Batman's arch-nemesis. She came at the story from a completely different direction than pretty much anyone who watched the video and it was pretty interesting to discover that was possible.
this is exactly why they gotta kill bats parents in every movie
What? That's not rare at all lol what's much more likely the case is you just mostly know kids in their 20s OR like-minded individuals to yourself, and it's skewing your perception of the actual statistics
The next one is going to be insane.
Can’t wait!
"I know that Batman is a Batman" Dang she figured out his secret identity fast.
But Man-Bat is a batman, too. Mhh ...
@@scrrin What about Batmanuel? :P
He was Bateman
A man dressed as a bat!
Clearly you knew at least a _little_ more about Batman than you thought: you knew his 1960s T.V. show's theme song!
To be fair, kids ran around the playground singing in every child’s 2nd grade recess 💁🏻♂️
Cillian Murphy is my favorite actor, he's phenomenal in anything he's in and damn I love his portrayal of Scarecrow. Best part of the movie for me, personally.
Fun fact: Cillian Murphy auditioned for the part of Batman and Christopher Nolan was so impressed with his audition that he decided to cast him as the Scarecrow instead.
FYI, that was indeed Joffrey. It was his first credited role, if memory serves.
hahahaha that edit with all the villains he played and you picking one that isn't him is hilarious - don't worry it probably happens to him more than most because most people don't recognize him between performances. He's too chameleon.
Oldman is a gift. Chameleon is the best description, isn't it? He becomes what he wants.
Great editing too XD
He's the most Chameleonist actor in the world.
Yes!!! This trilogy is gonna be so hype.
27:03 "Damn. He's, uh, doing a lot of damage." I'm glad I'm not the only one whose first thought when seeing that scene is about the roof repairs! 😝
I really enjoyed this reaction. Watching someone who is not very familiar with Batman start the journey WITH THIS MOVIE is a real treat. Can't wait for the next. We are in for a ride.
Alfred Pennyworth and Lucius Fox feature pretty heavily in the comics stories as two of Batman and Bruce Wayne's best allies both in crime-fighting in and out of the Batman suit. Alfred's always been cast in all the Batman films by good actors, but I was relieved when they said Lucius was going to be a big part of the story and that Morgan Freeman was going to play him.
Bruce would have died so many times without Alfred.
Some directors have certain actors that they always like to work with. You'll notice that Nolan especially likes working with Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy, and a few others.
This was fun! Can't wait for the next installment. I've also come to realize how much I need a collection of the sounds Mari makes during the movies. They would be great as alerts on my phone.
I'd like to create a song with that soundpack
12:43 Mary: "I do like his...morality...at this point."
Me: (Gives the side-eye to Zack Snyder and all the people that want Batman to be the Punisher).
Not to mention the people who think Bruce doesn't do anything to improve Gotham outside of beating up thugs and just sits on his fortunes.
I'm not a superhero movie fan but the dark Knight is one of my favourite movies... which says a lot
The editing on this episode was too tier, props to your editor
i'll be honest w you, the joaquin phoenix joker movie is so much it's own version of things, you don't need to have seen anything else. that said... the dark knight is considered by many to contain the best film version of the joker ever. i think both of those films are equally good in different ways.
i agree its a good movie, but i do suggest watching the 2nd batman movie, then watch the "Joker" movie, those 2 back to back would be amazing.
The "Honey, you got a big storm coming" was really clever
The trilogy has really good actors choices
I had so much fun watching this just thinking how much The Dark Knight is going to blow your mind.
I've still got to find the courage to watch it. I saw the clip with the "disappearing pencil trick" and was so skeeved out that I've never been able to bring myself to watch the movie.
The editing on this one made me laugh so much! Great vid Mary (and editor)!
When I was a young kid in the 1960s, the Adam West "Batman" series first hit the TV airwaves, and it left its mark. Love those transition effects and music sounds in Mary's Batman Begins reaction!
@@parissimons6385 Born in the 60's myself, perhaps that's why I enjoyed those transitions as well.
This movie includes at least 3 Oscar winners. Michael Caine, Tom Wilkinson, and after this movie, Christian Bale was awarded one for The Fighter. Morgan Freeman should have one, but I don't recall that he does. Rutger Haier was a very capable actor, also.
Morgan Freeman won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Million Dollar Baby and has four other nominations.
@@kenlangston3451 Thanks. I needed that reminder. He certainly deserves it. So at least four past and future Oscar winners acted in Batman Begins.
30:12 - Bruce left Ra's al Ghul under a pile of rubble, not knowing it was an actor and a trick. But he did intend to do just that, so the real Ra's took it personally since it'd been meant to be him. It was only the secret trick that kept the real Ra's alive, but Bruce didn't know that at the time. He only saved someone pretending to be his friend and mentor. So Ra's returns the favor. I'm constantly surprised this wooshes over so many people's heads...
4:18-4:26 - A+++ music. 👏🏻😂 That takes me back!
I think _The Dark Knight_ is most people's favourite in this trilogy and it is a fantastic film (they all are imo) but I really think this one is so underrated. 😁
The sequel is legitimately one of the all time great movies, comicbook or otherwise.
Mary: I know who Batman is...
Also Mary: Shocked when Bruce's parents get shot.
I can't tell you how happy your reactions make me and especially how much I loved that you enjoyed Batman Begins. My fave Batman movies, they really do have it all: Cast, director, composer, cinematographers.... I can't wait for you to watch the rest, and I think this came out without a hitch, but you know what makes me the happiest? That you're having a well-deserved vacation with your bf. I hope you're having tons of fun, Mary. :)
Ra's Al-Ghul translates from Arabic to "head of the demon". In the comic, Ra's is semi-immortal as whenever he his close to death or even sometimes dead, he can be revived via a secret chemical wellspring called the Lazarus pit that he as the head of the league of shadows has sole authority over. Considering how Nolan's take on Batman is meant to be a far more gritty, down to earth rendition of the story, they chose to omit the supernatural stuff.
There's also a bit of a debate over the pronunciation of Ra's Al-Ghul, while the Arabic pronunciation is R-aa-s, the same word in Hebrew is pronounced 'R-aych'. There doesn't seem to be an official pronunciation, so its used interchangeably.
It's drops like this that keep me coming back to this channel.
3:48 - Whoa! I just noticed the dripping faucet in the background there. I know water imagery/symbolism plays a big part in the Nolan Batman films (especially water in the Batcave, and here we have the beginnings of Batman and a dripping faucet in a very cave-like prison cell) but I didn't realize it started right off the...uh...BAT.
Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy and it is my favorite performance of his. He is brilliant in everything he does.
In my younger days, I had a job to remove bats from buildings. I have been in very tight enclosures with hundreds of bats at once. I can tell you that they do not want to touch, but sometimes a wing will touch the edge of your cheek. I am coming up on one week as a resident in Europe tomorrow. I cannot wait to get to Belgium again to have moules frites and a nice bière. I hope you are having a great holiday.
This is by far the best Batman. All 3 movies are superb! Can’t wait for your reactions for 2 and 3
12:40 - lmao. "Thanks for the training... even though I just blew up your entire homebase"
That split screen with Mary and Dr. Crane was hilarious 😂
Best superhero movie. The filmmaking and adaptation of Batman is perfect. The tone is on point. Also the score was done by Hans Zimmer AND James Newton Howard.
The editing on this one was....just....precious. 😄 Great job and great reaction!
Mary, the Joker is Batman's #1 arch-enemy. There are a lot of villains in Batman's rogues' gallery, but the Joker is Batman's true nemesis.
There are monasteries in Tibet in the mountains like that at the beginning. With hanging scaffold steps and paths to get to them as well.
When a movie has Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Rutger Hauer and Liam Neeson in it, you know it's gonna be a good one. :)
Damn, I forgot Morgan Freeman... there's another legend. Man, I forget how star-studded this movie is.
"it's what you do that defines you" is a great quote, another great quote said by many reactors inspired by this movie is "is that Joffrey?"
That was Wollaton Hall not Highclere/Downton but, there are a couple people in here from Downton. The guy he gives his jacket to is the Russian Violet had feelings for and one of Wayne's board members is Michael Gregson , the guy who was killed by brown shirts that Edith had a child with. This is my Batman trilogy. I think I just realized Rachel slaps him twice. One for each parent.
The Nolan Bat-trilogy is its own thing. Not part of the DCEU. And... thought the DCEU was promising at first (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman)... it has since become a complete trainwreck and probably isn't worth getting into.
The snyder trilogy is absolutely worth watching
Amazing. Everyone recognizes young Joffrey.
Michael Caine is the best Alfred ever for me among all Batman movies.
22:06 yes he is Joffrey. Good catch Mary.
The idea that there are people who know about the character of the Joker (thanks to the Joker movie, for instance, or his connection to Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad, plus having had multiple big actors play him), and yet not know that he is Batman's main nemesis, and that's literally where the character originally came from, is frankly mind-blowing.
We are living in discombobulating times.
To the editor: your work is greatly appreciated
The movie "Joker" is not canon to the origin of the Joker. The depiction of Joker in the Nolan Dark Knight series is more correct in that we never really found out who the Joker is or was. Various movies have said who he was but the comics never did reveal his origin or even really a hint of how he became the Joker.
The recent Joker movie isn't really connected to any of the other movies and it's kind of it's own thing.
It's more of an 'art house' deconstruction of what kind of society would lead to a Joker in the first place so in that sense it's not even really a 'superhero' movie.
What I'm saying is that you can really watch it any time you want and it's not going to spoil or impact you're viewing of any of the other movies.
It's doing it's own thing.
Loved your Batman reaction!
Correct. JOKER movie with Joaquin Phoenix it's barely connected to Batman Universe. Also Justice League Batman sucks if you look at both. I guess it should be this trilogy and wait for the new batman movie.
"Well, they're European."
[Mary] ...and I took that personally.
Mary you are always the BEST...even when you are not there!
FYI Mary. I don't if anyone told you this. But when you get to Inception, and you see a building that looks familiar. Just remember, it's the League of Shadow's building you asked if it were real in this movie 😂
Dr. Jonathan Crane, known as Scarecrow, in the Batman Rogues Gallery
In the comics, Henri Ducard was one of Bruce Wayne's mentors when he traveled the world studying and training for being Batman. Here they merged him into Ra's al Ghul
The actor who plays Scarecrow is Cillian Murphy. His movies Red Eye and 28 Days Later are really good and his TV show Peaky Blinders is great. You should check them out.
6:13 Where I grew up in Panama we have Vampire Bats, very different story.
The movie Joker is a totally standalone movie. The movie is it's own take on the Joker's story. Dark Knight's Joker is, far and away, my favorite live-action Joker.
Joker is one of my favorite villains ever. The Dark Knight Joker is my favorite take on Joker. Haven't seen Joker yet, I imagine Joaquin Phoenix is just fantastic in that role. I just didnt' think that movie story would be my cup of tea. But I am going to try and see it some time. I really enjoyed Jack Nicholson as Joker in Tim Burton's Batman movie. But Heath Ledger's Joker is my favorite take on that character.
The Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix is not part of any continuity or shared universe, and has zero connections to any other movies.
The three Nolan Batman films likewise are a trilogy that stands on its own and has no connections to or shared continuity with any of the older or newer Batman films.
Love the 60s Batman TV show intro music.
I grew up in the 80-90s. I was stuck with the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman movies. When this came out in 2005 I was like FINALLY! A Batman movie.
I wasn’t too thrilled when I heard the kid from Twilight was playing Batman, but the trailers looks awesome. “The Batman” looks like a much darker origin story, like a cross between Batman and Se7en.
They really miscast Gordon and Catwoman
I grew up in the 70s-80s. I was stuck with the Adam West Batman show reruns. When the Tim Burton film came out in 1989 I was like finally: a Batman movie. Although in retrospect Adam West is probably still the most comicbook accurate one.
A couple other faces you started to recognize, yes that was Joffrey and Gordon you likely know as Sirius Black. Joe Chill is the Night King in game of thrones and the exec who fires Lucious... I forget if you've seen Blade Runner or not, but Rutger Haur was in some legendary 80s films.
To those who say they are sick of seeing the origin story told, and re-told a hundred times in super hero movies this Reaction Video is proof of exactly WHY the origin stories are needed. You can't get sick of seeing his parents get shot in movies, you cant get sick of seeing uncle ben get shot, you cant get sick of seeing krypton explode, the origin is as much a part of their character and their story as their secret lairs, capes, sidekicks, catchphrases, etc. It is encumbent upon th ewriter and dreictor to do something interesting with them each time.
Cat intermission ASMR was perfect
I loved acting in this movie.
I absolutely LOVE watching reaction videos for Superhero movies where the reactor has no clue about the character going into it. Especially at the end when she didn't know that Joker is Batman's worst enemy. That Joker only does what he does because Batman makes it so much fun.
I had an intermission similar to yours. Except I didn't let him in my lap. Not when I'm in my gaming chair! Be safe.
Always like your laughter in your reactions. Be safe.
Loving the use of the theme from Batman: Arkham City in the intro!
"It's so hard to know whos is with wh-I don't think that laundry is going to dry." That cracked me up.
The Tumbler is a real car, it weights around 3000 kilograms, about twice the weight of a normal car. They built five to keep the filming schedule between repairs. Regarding bullets, the ricochet depends on the jacket of it. Full metal jacket (a movie that I don't know if you have seen yet) are lead bullets covered with copper or copper alloys to make it more rigid and give it some piercing properties, but they ricochet a lot. No jacket bullets are just lead and they are used mainly by police to avoid ricochet.
thanks for setting these up for us. Hope your trip goes well.
The Bat Mary wipe is awesome
Dr. Jonathan Crane is one of Batman's iconic nemeses in the comics: the Scarecrow. His fear-toxin is so potent that it will drive anyone exposed to it irrevocably insane with horrific and terror-inducing hallucinations. I really like that they started the series off with him as the villain here, and kind of led up to the Joker.
One thing you should keep in mind too: Bruce Wayne is the facade. Batman is who he really is.
I've always felt that Batman after the 80's had evolved into something of a Punisher-lite; wanting to bring justice to the bad guys but not killing to do so. The "Worlds' Greatest Detective" schtick kind of fell by the wayside during that period in favor of the action.
I also really liked Christian Bale's Batman voice in this one a lot better than in the others, in those it just sounds like he's trying too hard.
I don't recall Clooney altering his voice at all as Batman. We've come a long way since the dark times
The Yoshi’s Island music playing over that travel montage was so funny, omg
Michael Caine has the best zingers in this film.
The actor who plays Falconi also had a part in 'A good woman', based on Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermer's Fan'
Ah, Alfred. If only we ALL had a Micheal Caine/ Alfred of our own! (what a wonderful world it would be)
As a person who hit "self-critical" and then kept going, your playfully self critical meme editing game is on point; A++, much catharsis, very relate, 4 out of 5 dentists recommend
The pics of all the bad guys he could have reminded you of, and then the reveal..... So good
This is my favorite version of the Batman origin story.
30:18 Yep, that's how describe graduated law school. Though I knows its different here in the US.
Michael Caine - Alfred - could play any character whether it be a pompous british officer in Zulu, a pilot in the Battle of Britain, a conman in the Italian Job, Ebenezer Scrooge, an abortion doctor in Cider House, a butler in Batman, etc.. - an excellent actor who will be missed sorely when he finally passes.
The background music you used for the intro makes me so happy its from batman arkham city the game its probably my favourite video game of all time.
I love Arkham City a lot thats why I used it for the Intro :D
"And then I grew up." I laughed when you said that. I feel that. (that the world is less ideal than one would wish.)
Nobody seems to understand when R'as says "you burned my house and left me for dead".... when he says "me" he means R'as Al'Ghul... which Batman DID leave for dead, but at the time he thought that R'as was Chow Yun Fat's character, not Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson was playing the part of Ducard at the time.
*Ken Watanabe
@@defunctus408 oops. yeah. duh. silly me.
Your reactions are always funny, but somehow this was more hilarious than ever, with the editing and the jokes, etc.
Love it!
Have a good holiday!
Yes Batman is a Genius. He has an IQ of 192. In the comics and animated movies he built a teleporter and he makes all gadgets himself with the help of Alfred and Lucius Fox.
Props to the Editor! Love the edits and the factoid about the cop on the parking garage rooftop & the "at least tell me what it looks like" cop being the same. Never noticed that one before. Cheers to the both of you!
I loved ur reaction to Batman Begins 😊🥺
when he says "nice coat", it's because that's the guy that he gave the coat to a long time ago before he disappeared. lol, it's a little inside joke with the homeless guy!
Also, this series was predominantly filmed in my hometown, Chicago. Hope you enjoy the scenery 😍
Because of the kitty cat intermission at 32 minutes, SUBSCRIBED.
Also Memento is really good if you haven't got around to it yet.
In my head canon, those two cops are identical twins. There are some twin cops around, XD.
Yes that was young GoT Joffrey Baratheon actor Jack Gleeson
I loved your editing joke about Gary Oldman 😹 All that movies you didn't remember, priceless! Subscribed!
Trivia - Bruce’s car is a Lamborghini Murcielago, which, in Spanish, means “Bat.”
Mary you will enjoy this trilogy. The cast, the plot, the effects... Grüße.
Bruce did leave who he assumed was Ras for dead. His statement was true.
Next one is the best batman movie of all time for me. Also the best joker movie of all time, again, for me.
