    Even if The Dark Knight Trilogy isn’t the prime version of the crusader for an individual, I think it’s hard to argue against Bale and Nolan’s films being the primary version of Batman in the popular culture. And I imagine it will remain that way for a good bit longer.

      @@Devils_Lair_Comics agreed. And I love TDK trilogy, really. But a lot of it does come across as generic at times, lacking in the characterization that makes it feel Batman-y. It doesn’t take away from the quality of the films, and no doubt as films they are the best of Batman, but as Batman, it’s nowhere near as distinctive and unique as it could be. That unfortunately was the drawback with grounding it as much as they did, which, again, not complaining, but it is what it is.

      People often describe Nolan as a cold cerebral filmmaker, but I dunno, I think he injects a lot of heart and tenderness into his Batman movies, specifically Batman Begins and Rises. I think about those flashes of young Bruce and his dad with the stethoscope. You don't get these moments in most superhero movies.

    10:50 Its almost impossible to believe that back then, when they told that Heath Ledger would play Joker a LOT of people were outraged and threathened to boycot The Dark Knight..
    Now he's considered one of the (if not THE) best version of Joker of all time.
    And years later the pattern repeated itself when they announced Robert Pattinson would play the new Batman.. Which turned out to be one of the best versions of Batman.
    Funny how those things go sometimes.

    I never was a comic book fan at all, not even superheros. But this trilogy actually connected me to the world of superheros: so grounded, so realistic, never over the top, a world where a character like Batman could actually exists and make it justifiable to dress up as a bat to fight crime. This was the foundation for me to get forever hooked with the superhero genre when I saw Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Amazing films! 🤩🥳😃🎬

    Everybody has a favourite Batman and mine is Keaton’s. Ben Affleck looks like the original sketches but I haven’t seen his performance and it isn’t popular. The Dark Night is a great film but Heath Ledger is the reason for that I think, he is sublime. Bale is glossy and reminds me of his role he played in American Psycho but then the film has the right amount of grit. I think the Burton Batman films are great, they have a bit of humour to them. It is nice to see Bill Finger getting the recognition he deserves. Great video 😊. I reviewed Batman yesterday and enjoyed doing it.

    Oh, how I wish if someone took Thor, my favorite Marvel character, as seriously as Nolan took Batman. It's so weird to be an equal fan of two different comic-book characters, yet to see one treated with utter respect and care while the other has been distorted into becoming a literal spoof of himself, with nothing of his self of source material remaining intact, where he can't even outer his iconic catchphrase ["I say thee nay"] because it's too serious and pompous. Nolan on the other hand made Batman's first line in the movies also his iconic catchphrase. It's telling how good filmmakers that aren't comic experts can craft an accurate representation of a superhero if they care enough, but lesser filmmakers, who clearly don't care, will make things only worse.

These media portray Batman at his finest, always true to his morals and conviction, refusing to bow down to the likes of Joker no matter what was thrown at him.

    The Dark Knight Trilogy is my favorite Batman film series and Christian Bale is my favorite Bruce Wayne/Batman. He played the part so well, especially playing the three sides to Bruce Wayne that we don’t always see portrayed, especially in live action form. Batman is obvious which is where his anger and pain goes towards, the self-centered playboy Bruce Wayne that he puts on for the public so people don’t suspect he’s Batman and the real Bruce Wayne that those close to him get to see, like Alfred, Fox, Rachel and by the end of the series, John Blake, Selina Kyle and Jim Gordon. All three films are excellent and showed Bruce Wayne’s journey of becoming Batman and what the results of being Batman are not only to the city, but to those around him and himself. Also, the third Batman film never intended to have the Joker as the earliest we can actually find Nolan talking about a third film in the works is in December 2008 around the time of The Dark Knight was out on Blu-Ray and DVD, where Nolan confirmed he had a rough outline of a potential third film, but wanted to take some time away from Batman before deciding to make one. It’s also well known, that Nolan never makes a film with 100% certainty that a sequel will be made, so while he had thought of making three films early on, he decided to block that idea from his head and only make Batman Begins the best film he could and he did the same with The Dark Knight and again with The Dark Knight Rises, not thinking of a follow up as he didn’t want to possibly hinder the film he was making with setups purposely left at the end of any of those films for any future films that might happen. The three films are all open ended where if a sequel never happened, we can just think how the story continues from where the last film ended. This is something that came out of the internet and never Christopher Nolan or anybody close to him working on these films, so it’s best to see any story where the third film would have the Joker in anyway not being legitimate as Nolan didn’t have anything written down for a third Batman until late 2008, at which point the Joker would never be considered to be in a possible third film as Heath Ledger passed away in January 2008. The Dark Knight Rises is my favorite film of the trilogy as it doesn’t try to be The Dark Knight again, but be a conclusion to Bruce Wayne’s story and the world that has been created for it and the end result is incredible. Each film got better for me and I love rewatching them to this day. Christopher Nolan and company did an incredible job and I’m glad I saw these films in the theater when they came out. Great video too, keep up the great work!

Arkham Knight was also great, but had a real stinker of a PC version which hurt it's reputation. Anyone who's a fan who hasn't taken this series for a spin absolutely owes it to themselves to do so!

    Man, this series keeps saying that Batman comics in the 90's weren't good. "Batman had lost his way in the comics", "There was a lot of surgery that needed to happen"... Literally where they get this idea? Knightfall and No Man's Land were and are still acclaimed storylines, as they dared to be impactful. Both Nolan's trilogy and The Batman (2022) took elements from both these storylines for a reason (Bane or destroyed-beyond-rebuilding Gotham).

  • @docproc144
    @docproc144 Год назад +1

    Bale may not be the definitive version of the character for some people, but you can’t deny the cultural impact that The Dark Knight trilogy has had. Before Nolan, Batman films were campy, poorly reviewed, and not taken very seriously. I mean, the last live action Batman before Bale was George Clooney. His suit had nipples on it and he carried a bat-credit card around. Nolan really reimagined the character and the world that is Gotham City for a new generation. For people new to the genre that aren’t big into comic books or animated shows and just watch movies, “casual fans” you might call them, these movies introduced them to Batman. Bale himself might not be my favorite version of Batman, that title goes to Kevin Conroy, but I still think that The Dark Knight is the greatest comic book movie ever made. It’s a cinematic masterpiece. Hell, I’d go as far as to put it among the greatest and most important films ever made. There are so many quotable and iconic lines from that trilogy that I still often hear today. TDK trilogy’s impact can still be felt today and it will always be remembered for its significance within pop culture.

    bale's batman is my favourite character n superhero of all time. although MCU are basically conqured the superhero genre with so many great movies n superhero, no one come close to bale's batman, not even iron man or black panther. the trilogy feels more like a solid superhero story than just an attempt to calculatively use human science n culture (women empowerment, BLM, diversity, etc.) to gain as many hardcore fans as possible n make as much money as possible, which is the feeling that i get from MCU films. all the villains were so damn good too. this is why nolan's trilogy is such a cinematic masterpiece n in the league of its own. without this trilogy, we won't see the dark batman that we see now with ben affleck n robert pattinson. also my dad bought me a batmobile for my birthday when batman begins came out n that gave me so much love for the character. btw im one of those people who love watching standalone superhero films than superhero franchises like MCU or DC so i might be a little bit biased here even though it is still a fact

    I have always been familiar with Batman since I was a kiid cause I saw part of the DC animated universe on Cartoon Network as well as the Burton and Schumacher film series (I stay with Tim Burton, one of my favorite filmmakers), but Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy got me interested in researching a little more about Batman, I saw behind the scenes of the film as well as reading the comics in which it had been inspired (not that I was a fan of superheroes all my life), since there was a serious tone and an engaging, colorful but dark artistic style, I was interested in this black-cloaked hero as well as his sorroundings, his story, the fact that he had no superpowers but a high technology suit and gadgets, the batmobile, the batpod and the batplane, the loss of his parents and his adversaries. So I started to watch the DC animated series and movies properly, so as many comics as I could find out, I discovered that I was a DC fan and a Batman fan.
    I love very much The Dark Knigh Trilogy, since I saw Batman Begins I felt like I was watching a different movie (especially with all the samurai themes and and it was the first superhero movie that I dared to watch complete after the Spider-Man trilogy and Burton's Batman duology, it was like watching Daniel Craig's James Bond saga (which I have no doubt must have been influenced by Nolan's cinematographic style). The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer in collaboration with James Newton Howard is just terific and inspiring, the themes as they point out in 10:30 "issues of state sovereingty, patriot act overreach, institutionalized corruption, etc..." studying politics, law, and even sociology I have come to understand these issues much better, which, without being pedantic, differentiate it from many movies based on comics, really this trilogy goes beyond being superhero movies, I find the human problems portrayed in David S. Goyer's screenplay alongside Jonathan and Christopher Nolan fascinating, Nolan always had an air of perfectionism in his films and I like his particular attention to detail, the immersive visual quality of the shots in IMAX cameras as well as the innovative practical visual effects, he really has made a name for himself as a director since Batrman Begins and has become one of my favorite filmmakers.
    The Cast: Christian Bale has been one of my favorite actors ever since and I confirmed that after watching in othe roles after Batman (when he starred Empire of Sun as a kid, for example) Sir Michael Caine is the best Alfred for me, what a LEGEND of a british actor, nothing wrong can be said about him and I think everyone agrees on that, Gary Oldman as Gordon too, another great actor (he looks like Gordon too) Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox is no less, Maggie Gyllenhall it's onoe of my favorite actresses and she wasn't a bad Rachel (she was really terrified when Ledger's Joker showed up to her) but from a strict critic point of view, Katie Holmes conveyed more emotion in Batman Begins, maybe we could say the same about Maggie as for Anne Hathaway as Catwoman (I think that some fans did not like her very much for simply not being Michelle Pfeiffer, no offense to Michelle Pfeiffer since she was my first Catwoman and the most sexy, Zoe Krävitz did it great too even if I didn't have faith in her to begin with). Joseph Gordon Levitt (one of my favorite actors too) revealing himself as Robin was a surprise.
    As for the villains, all were tremendous, Liam Neeson put on a very powerful performance as Ra's Al Ghul, going from mentor to villain, I still like the line he says Batman to him "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you", one of the most badass lines before killing (or letting die in this case) do I have to describe that I discovered the talented actor that Cillian Murphy is and that I discovered him as the Scarecrow? And of course, what else can be said about Heath Ledger's Joker that hasn't already been told? his picture as the Joker was already familiar to me before watching the movie, all his scenes, quotes, mimmics, costume and makeup are iconic, it is inevitable to click on one of his scenes when they appear in RUclips, I was 4 years old when TDK came out so I first saw the trilogy in 2015, can you imagine my face when long after I found that Heath Ledger died after finishing the movie and without even watching it? I was shocked. Aaron Eckhart was excellent as Harvey Dent/Two Faces, one of my favorite villains, Tom Hardy's performance as Bane has been gaining appreciation over time and I'm very glad of that, although I feel like his death was awful in TDKR, the reveal of Miranda Tate as Talia al Ghul was unnexpected but after reading comics that include her I understand better her manipulative attitude, Marion Cotillard was rightly selected for the role, beautiful and talented actress.
    Even if these movies are not so perfect, I think it is the best superhero film series ever made and insuperable, and one of the best film trilogies along Lord of the Rings.
