he's 100% right this was not just a great "super-hero" movie but one of the best movies of all time, ever. And Heath Ledger played one of the best villains if not THEE best in movie history.
Fucking hell, when you think about it...Michael Cane, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale on the same movie, i mean, sky full of stars.
Alfred (Batman and Robin) : I'll cancel the pizza sir! Alfred (The Dark Knight Trilogy) : Some men arent looking for anything logical like money...some men just want to watch the world burn...
Good to see such an accomplish actor being very proud about a movie he is a part off. You can see that Caine is super happy his name is connected to this work. And rightly so. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece in movies.
I always have to step back and admire Michael for just how much he appreciates these movies, and just how much he appreciates a variety of cinema in general. It's easy to look at a "classical" actor like him and think he might he a rigid, old school kind of guy. But he clearly loves these stories, these characters, and the source material. To compare the Joker to Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs is high, high praise.
Chris Nolan had a keen ear. He was really into having distinguishing voices in these movies. Everyone had an accent. It wasn't just that he had so many British and Australian actors playing American parts. He cast Caine with his very distinguishable voice. Even Anne Hathaway altered her way of speech to sound more like Hedy Lamarr. Then there's obviously Bane and Batman. Altogether, it really puts some sparks in the imagery of it all. Kudos.
Still is sad to know that Heath Ledger died at that age in 2008, he deserved a chance to see artists and the overall audience witness his effect on movies and villains in general.
I remember when he said these things and I was like "how could it be better than batman begins?" and now i'm just awestruck. completely blew the generalizations about comic movies out of the water. one of the best movies ever made.
i love michael caine he adds that little bit of depth to the butler that the other batmans missed this one adds more. i thought this was very dark and real and you can tell all the people around wayne was seriously scared for him this film was amazing
I remember the hair-brushing gesture Caine was talking about and it did get a laugh in both the screenings I attended, mainly because The Joker's such an ugly wreck, and yet he's still trying to make himself look presentable in the presence if a lady.
I loved Michael Cain as Alfred ❤ He understood the psychology of not only Batman/Wayne but his enemies as well. He was his Father figure, mentor, caretaker as well as grounded Bruce when he was straying off his path completely.
Hes right these 3 movies from batman begins and the dark knight and the dark knight rises too were the best i have ever saw i really love it very much.
it’s true, the dark knight tells exactly not just at superficial level, but how society acts under certain pressures. it’s not just a hero and villain film it’s completely as deep with so much meaning as a film can get. it’s true, whilst you can add a superhero/supervillain dynamic but it tells a true story of society. corruption, terrorism, human responsibility. this is more than just a comic book adaptation, this film tells a lot and makes you question societies values and morals.
I love Michael Caine,He is an awesome actor! I have liked him for a long time,and I hope he does more acting in the future! :D And Thank you Michael for saying such nice things about Heath,I love you even more!
Sir Michael says that Christian Bale is the best Batman. I disagree because I have seen all the Batman movies, even the 1966 version with Adam West, and I have to say no one does Batman better than Michael Keaton.
LOL, "Batman and I are giving a party..." Goddamn, Caine is just spot on about what this film is. He could have done the whole promotion singlehandedly.
Michael Caine is a great actor : zoulou, "La vallée perdue, "le limier"(avec sir laurence Olivier),"l'homme qui voulut être roi";..etc. Il a été "un jeune premier" pendant longtemps et maintenant, je pense qu'il viellit si bien! Je l'aime beaucoup dans "les fils de l'homme" Il me semble si intelligent et bienveillant avec les jeunes acteurs. Merci pour la vidéo 5*
lol I remember Jaws: The Revenge, I remember it very well *shudders* I'm just glad it didn't destroy michael's career. Oh and by the way, there's a lot more to the dark knight than just explosions thank you very much. It's a film that examines the effects of chaos and anarchy on an urban society, amongst other things.
Keaton was good for a start, and actually better enough than all subsequents.. until Christian took the lead.. no comparison between the two renditions.. Keaton is.. umm, well.. too NYish?.. the best move they made was getting external talent to fortify the Gotham feel as did Bale
I agree, Keaton did great in the Bat suit, but I thought he was a shity Bruce Wayne lol. Christian Bale acts like a rich playboy. And does a better job over all.
Affleck is better than both Bale and Keaton IMO (aside from all the murder that is which if you think about it Bale's Batman killed on occasion as well and Keaton's Batman killed the Joker in his first film). Though I don't like the way they characterized his Batman in JL.
@martythetickler no it didn't Only Keaton was good, but Val and Clooney were terrible The Dark Knight are 10x better than any other batman movie and is one of the best action movies with incredible drama as well as a stong plot
Midnightz, agreed.. and imagine if they had allowed Affleck full creative control, and he's also is quite a capable director.. if such were the case then I think he would have equalled Bale if not topped him.. but instead the editors and crew looking for higher returns ruined it and in disgust he finally said F this.
@@midnightz9224 yeah Ben Affleck is more accurate. But the story of these movies is so good it really elevates Batman. Only thing that sucks about these movies is the fighting.
But having said that after seen the Joker film ( and how he actually became one) I valuated his psychology and most of the people on this planet would have become a villain under those HORRIBLE circumstances!!
I love Michael Caine, but doesn't he incorporate that "Casting" quote into every movie interview he does? Not criticising or anything; Michael Caine is still epic; plus he has a point.
Best Joker - Heath Ledger Best Batman - Ben Affleck Best Bruce Wayne - Christian Bale Best Voice Over Joker - Mark Hamill Best Alfred - Michael Caine Best Rachel - Maggie Gyllenhal Best Harvey Dent - Aeron Eckhart Best 2 Face - Aeron Eckhart Best Riddler - Jim Carrey Best Robbin - Joseph Gordon Lewitt Best Gordon - Gary Oldman Best Mr . Fox - Morgan Freeman
I actually like Jeremy Irons better than Caine as Alfred. Don't get me wrong, Caine was excellent but he wasn't really comic Alfred to me. Irons fit the bill much more closely there. As far as the Riddler goes Carrey portrayed him too Joker-like to me. I actually prefer Cory Michael Smith's portrayal of the Riddler in Gotham. He's basically a younger version of Wally Wingert's Riddler in terms of personality (even though Wingert hasn't portrayed him in live-action lol). Also Best Penguin - Robin Lord Taylor.
The voice is noticable for little while and at the start of "Begins", then I didn't even notice it.. besides, even if a bit of a stretch, the rasp is indicative of full maturity, opposite that of a boy or even a younger enough man.. and at least it stays constant throughout, as it would in real life
So Batman and Spider-Man both lost there parents but Batman was around before Spider-Man so Spider-Man copied Batman. But then again what superhero had parents ?
I didn't like TDK because after all it was a Joker movie, not a Batman movie. Plus it was waaaaaaaaay too serious and pretentious considering it was a comic book movie and a huge part of the things happening on screen were practically impossible.
screw mane lol! I had no clue that I had Bell! My bad. I mean Bale. I just really disliked the way that he talked as Batman. His Bruce was great. The Batman voice just got really annoying. But I also am super used to hearing Kevin Conroy’s deep voice on B:TAS.
@@melancholiclonging8641 okay you got a point. His voice did get a little obnoxious at one point. That I will agree with you. But even with his voice being as raspy as a prostitute's shit rim shitting out a baby, he's still a badass batman.
@@Angyali Christian Bale's batman was too goofy with that voice and costume. The Dark Knight trilogy was better than the Snyder movies but Affleck was better than Bale.
he's 100% right this was not just a great "super-hero" movie but one of the best movies of all time, ever. And Heath Ledger played one of the best villains if not THEE best in movie history.
Deb Malkausky he's up there with Darth Vadar
"Thee best in movie history" is a tall order and I don't think any, one person can be declared the best.
@@thename1132
Eh no, no, no.
Not the same thing, Vader is in a completely different bracket.
More up there with Hannibal Lecter.
He did, and now Phillips, Deniro and Phoenix came around to carry on with the tradition of making great cinema. So exciting.
A tip : watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
He’s right about the casting. The whole trilogy has absolutely phenomenal casting.
BOTH RACHEL WERE HORRIBLE
It woulda hit harder with Katie Holmes in my opinion.
@@latrolettteeeeeee TBHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I couldn’t stand the first one and the second TOO UGLY
Apart from Hathaway
4:30 explains how he felt when he first saw the joker.
Thanks man
Hero
Fucking hell, when you think about it...Michael Cane, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale on the same movie, i mean, sky full of stars.
Alfred (Batman and Robin) : I'll cancel the pizza sir!
Alfred (The Dark Knight Trilogy) : Some men arent looking for anything logical like money...some men just want to watch the world burn...
Nitromethanification now that was the best alfred
Wait what about Alfred (Batman and Batman Return) even though he played by the late Michael Cough.
Sean Pertwee is the best
Good to see such an accomplish actor being very proud about a movie he is a part off. You can see that Caine is super happy his name is connected to this work. And rightly so. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece in movies.
Michael Caine got it right about Christian Bale. He's the best.
I always have to step back and admire Michael for just how much he appreciates these movies, and just how much he appreciates a variety of cinema in general. It's easy to look at a "classical" actor like him and think he might he a rigid, old school kind of guy. But he clearly loves these stories, these characters, and the source material.

Even Anne Hathaway altered her way of speech to sound more like Hedy Lamarr. Then there's obviously Bane and Batman. Altogether, it really puts some sparks in the imagery of it all. Kudos.
You can tell he genuinely means it when he brings it up before the interviewer even mentions Heath
Still is sad to know that Heath Ledger died at that age in 2008, he deserved a chance to see artists and the overall audience witness his effect on movies and villains in general.
Easiest way to mimic Michael Caine's accent: say "my cocaine" and you just said his name in his accent...you're welcome
but how do you know my cocaine sound like your cocaine.
Ö
true and do you still use this account after 10years? just asking xd
Absolutely this is the best Batman film ever been made and great actors too. I still watch the dvd to this day.
I remember when he said these things and I was like "how could it be better than batman begins?" and now i'm just awestruck. completely blew the generalizations about comic movies out of the water. one of the best movies ever made.
Nice of Michael Caine to agree to do this interview in a submarine
i love michael caine he adds that little bit of depth to the butler that the other batmans missed this one adds more.
i thought this was very dark and real and you can tell all the people around wayne was seriously scared for him
this film was amazing
The Dark Knight isn't a movie it's a film, one of the greatest ones.
I remember the hair-brushing gesture Caine was talking about and it did get a laugh in both the screenings I attended, mainly because The Joker's such an ugly wreck, and yet he's still trying to make himself look presentable in the presence if a lady.

It sucks not being able to have seen heath ledger who made this movie amazing and entertaining in any of these interviews
SoluriZe well he pretty much killed himself
OneSockOff tf
fucc you i rubbed my screen with my fingernail and then i realized it's your profile picture
Bro your profile i scratched my screen
BRUH I THOUGHT I SCRATCHED MY PHONE then I realize it was just your profile picture
Hes right these 3 movies from batman begins and the dark knight and the dark knight rises too were the best i have ever saw i really love it very much.
Its crazy to think that if this trilogy never worked out the way it did, we would’ve never gotten Iron Man nor the MCU as a matter of fact…
Why is the audio weird? It looks like Alfred inherited Bane's voice
Everything he said is absolutely true 💯
it’s true, the dark knight tells exactly not just at superficial level, but how society acts under certain pressures. it’s not just a hero and villain film it’s completely as deep with so much meaning as a film can get. it’s true, whilst you can add a superhero/supervillain dynamic but it tells a true story of society. corruption, terrorism, human responsibility. this is more than just a comic book adaptation, this film tells a lot and makes you question societies values and morals.
Favorite actor and trilogy of all time!
Thanks for this. Really enjoyed it. What a fantastic actor but sadly more underrated than Gary Oldman :(
Both are underrated
his acting is flawless in every movie he should get more credit...
The interview is on the right Caine is on the left
I love Michael Caine,He is an awesome actor! I have liked him for a long time,and I hope he does more acting in the future! :D
And Thank you Michael for saying such nice things about Heath,I love you even more!

LOL, "Batman and I are giving a party..." Goddamn, Caine is just spot on about what this film is. He could have done the whole promotion singlehandedly.
IMO; Best Bruce Wayne: Christian Bale. Best Batman: Michael Keaton. Best Joker: Heath Ledger. Best Alfred: Michael Caine.
When Michael Caine thinks you’re good, you don’t have anything else to prove.
The audio sounds like they're talking inside an empty pool
caine rocks....awesome job on whatever character he plays...
Michael Caine is a great actor : zoulou, "La vallée perdue, "le limier"(avec sir laurence Olivier),"l'homme qui voulut être roi";..etc.
Il a été "un jeune premier" pendant longtemps et maintenant, je pense qu'il viellit si bien! Je l'aime beaucoup dans "les fils de l'homme"

Mike helped make this movie feel real.
.. Him and Sigorney weaver are go to actors for that added realism
lol I remember Jaws: The Revenge, I remember it very well *shudders* I'm just glad it didn't destroy michael's career.
Oh and by the way, there's a lot more to the dark knight than just explosions thank you very much. It's a film that examines the effects of chaos and anarchy on an urban society, amongst other things.
Agrees with everything said in this interview.. absolutely incredible director / film-maker!
I don't see the exact reason Michael Keaton is most people's favorite Batman. Sure I like that version, but I don't think it's the best.
Nostalgia
Keaton was good for a start, and actually better enough than all subsequents.. until Christian took the lead.. no comparison between the two renditions.. Keaton is.. umm, well.. too NYish?.. the best move they made was getting external talent to fortify the Gotham feel as did Bale
I agree, Keaton did great in the Bat suit, but I thought he was a shity Bruce Wayne lol.

And does a better job over all.

When he said Tony Hopkins, I thought he said Tony Hawk.
@martythetickler no it didn't
Only Keaton was good, but Val and Clooney were terrible
The Dark Knight are 10x better than any other batman movie and is one of the best action movies with incredible drama as well as a stong plot
my favourite movie ever rip heath
Tell that robot in the other room to shut up >:C
AHHH Mr Caine i remember you back in the days of Zulu awesome guy
I hate the audio.
Mr Caine should be in all movies
Michael Caine is talking live-action Batman, otherwise he probably hasn't bothered to watch the animated series, but I see where he is coming from.
Laura Zaetz Christian Bale is Best Batman
probably, but Ben Affleck's is far more accurate.
Midnightz, agreed.. and imagine if they had allowed Affleck full creative control, and he's also is quite a capable director.. if such were the case then I think he would have equalled Bale if not topped him.. but instead the editors and crew looking for higher returns ruined it and in disgust he finally said F this.
because the dark knight isn´t a exactly based on the comic book
@@midnightz9224 yeah Ben Affleck is more accurate. But the story of these movies is so good it really elevates Batman. Only thing that sucks about these movies is the fighting.
Sir Michael Caine, Commander of the Order of the British Empire!
any person that puts thumbs down should be hung...there is nothing wrong with this interview...it has elegance and nobility
TheInfamousIceman the audio. they complain about the audio
Michael Caine for President !
But having said that after seen the Joker film ( and how he actually became one) I valuated his psychology and most of the people on this planet would have become a villain under those HORRIBLE circumstances!!
@mattman2900 tim burton only did the first 2. He kind of established the gothic batman. He didn't do the rubber nipples batman.
Very sad.
You can tell Michael still hasn't fully processed the fact that heath is dead.😢
That's what he character of the Joker brings. He's an anarchist. He blows shit up.
He is giving spoilers 😂
Yes I am.
thatfatguyeatingapie Don’t let him put you down man
You can tell his English accent is a lot stronger when he acts. It sounds a lot more American when he's talking now.
I love Michael Caine, but doesn't he incorporate that "Casting" quote into every movie interview he does? Not criticising or anything; Michael Caine is still epic; plus he has a point.
Best Joker - Heath Ledger
Best Batman - Ben Affleck
Best Bruce Wayne - Christian Bale
Best Voice Over Joker - Mark Hamill

Best 2 Face - Aeron Eckhart

keny chauhan Katie Holmes is the better rachel.

Ben Affleck?!

2:40 “by a log joke” okay auto subs
true that!!
Michael Caine is 89 years old
michael cain is a good person
@martythetickler christian bale is the best bruce wayne though...no doubt about it. as for batman though yeah its keaton
Michael was also in The Swarm(one of the worst movies ever). Me thinks he's one of those actors that likes to take risks and it has paid off for him.
that echo tho
Wtf the interviewer sound the same as michael
Voice problem
The voice is noticable for little while and at the start of "Begins", then I didn't even notice it.. besides, even if a bit of a stretch, the rasp is indicative of full maturity, opposite that of a boy or even a younger enough man.. and at least it stays constant throughout, as it would in real life
So Batman and Spider-Man both lost there parents but Batman was around before Spider-Man so Spider-Man copied Batman. But then again what superhero had parents ?
@SmokinAce111
But the old ones had the best Batman.

The only thing the new ones have over the old ones is the far superior Joker.
