And you don't know why that is so😢."

Gary Oldman was originally offered the roll of Ras Al Gul, but Gary had at that point in his career only played "bad guys" and was tired of it. Yet Nolan was so desperate to got to work with him that he ultimatelly accepted to give him the rol of Gordon.
This movie is criminally underrated. I don’t think there has been a better superhero origin story. The level of writing on this one on a different level. The dialogues really hit you inside.
I'm not a fan of raimi's spiderman. At least not at the same level of Batman Begins. He made too many changes to the comicbook lore that I wasn't down with, like making his web shooters organic.
@@Lmonhaze Hahaha, no. Raimi Spider-Man is probably the most overrated adaptation in comic books of all time. The first two films are carried by the two antagonists, and they had the best and only good performances in those films: Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and JK Simmons. That's it, everyone else had terrible and cringe-acting, the relationship with MJ was the worst written we have gotten, and the whole trilogy is full of plot holes, especially the third one. Peter didn’t got bitten at 15 years old, he didn’t made the web fluid or web-shooters, etc., Nolan's trilogy does have some plot holes, and Batman is killing, but outside of that, at least the acting is leagues better, so it's the cinematography, storytelling, etc.
@@reynaldolorenzo8409 What are you on? Rosemary Harris, James Franco, and Tobey Maguire acted fine. Also, complete comic accuracy is not needed to make a good superhero film. It changes nothing that Peter in this film got bit at 17. Him not making the web fluid is not that big of a deal either. Raimi made it clear that this movie wasn't supposed to be comic-accurate. This a different version of Spider-Man. Besides, he was still Spidey at his core. Making jokes during fights, swinging from buildings, helped innocent people, so what's the issue?
Cillian Murphy always plays a calm cool collected guy on the surface but then you see his true side and he does the shift so well loved his character in Red Eye
@@OfficialMediaKnightsout of the 3 new Batman we’ve had since the 90’s movies. I like Christen Robert Ben. As for them changing away from Ben at the end of Flash it should have been Christen replacing Ben. But for how the flash was silly I’m ok with not connecting him to that movie.
If I was making a new Batman trilogy I’d have the first two movies show him defeating a number of his villains with the end of the 2nd movie ending with him bringing in the last one to Arkham asylum island but getting trapped there. With the 3rd movie basically like the game him battling all of them on there turf
The fact that Michael Kane still looks damn near the same almost 2 decades later is wild. The man went from 70 to 90 but in reality only aged a year or two.
I was today years old when I realized William Earle who ran Wayne Enterprises was played by Rutger Hauer who played Roy Batty in Blade Runner. Even in a smaller part like this, his presence is palpable, I love it.
You must do the second movie next. Heath ledger's performance as joker is one of, if not the best acting performances I've ever seen. You look at the character on screen, how he talks and acts, and I still just can not picture the actor at all. He was incredible.
Heath Ledger’s Joker is one of those roles that everybody has either seen or they’ve heard just how good the performance is. What a fantastic actor he was ❤️
The scene where he sits in his cell and claps for Gordon being promoted is the only one where I see a little bit of Heath and that scene was one of the first ones to be filmed if I recall correctly. Rest of the movie he's just gone and there's only the Joker.
The internet was SO nasty before the film when the pics came out of what Joker would look like, and so many people predicting the doom of the picture. None of comic nerd friends were willing to calm down and just wait and see what it would be like. And I admit, I wrinkled up my nose when I saw him, wondering wth they had done to the character. But of all the Batman films out at that time, Nolan's was the most faithful to the source material, even though he wasn't 100% faithful. And I reminded everyone that when we saw pics of Bale before the first movie, we all kind of thought, "Really? THAT'S who they chose to play super-hot, square-jawed, buff Bruce Wayne??" (To my mind, Clooney still played the best BRUCE, though his Batman was written to be campy af so that movie overall was terrible. But on a TV rewatch, I skipped all the Batman parts and just watched him as Bruce, and omg he was PERFECT! Such a shame he got stuck doing a Batman film for a director who wanted to emulate the feel of the 1960s TV show. But I digress...) But when we watched Bale as Batman, we were all sold on it, so I reminded my friends to just wait and see. And in the end, Ledger gave us THE most frightening take on the villain who, all things considered, is the scariest one in Batman's Rogues' Gallery. (Batman: No Man's Land if you don't believe me.)
Obvi the one people most talk about and for good reason is the second, but for me this one was the most rewatchable. Seen this one countless times and it never gets old.
So ridiculously happy to run through this one with you guys. After being so down about where the Batman character was after Batman and Robin and the "hiatus" years, I remember seeing this in the theater and walking out afterwards - and being dumbfounded about the absolute home-run that Nolan pulled off. I was shocked how well he nailed it and how amazing this film was - left in awe - the perfect blend of comic book lore and film skill and technique. So SO fucking good.
Also huge respect to Christian Bale, that guy is not human. He went from The Machinist into Batman in a very little amount of time. The dude went from brink of death skinny to a muscular athlete. *Another point for Bruce's choice of vehicles. Lamborghini Murcielago, which he drives in the Batman movies, Murcielago translation is a bat. **They did really build several Tumblers. It's an existing prototype. Jay Leno had a video on it.
That tumbler (Batmobile) sequence on the rooftop was infact a miniature. They created a mini remote batmobile to shoot that shot. Corridor Digital explains this in one of their crew reactions.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Tell that to modern films which directors are being lazy and wasteful... movies nowadays cost 300 million dollars and look 10 times worse than this cause directors just lie back on their rocking chairs and just put CGI into every fucking difficult to produce scene... no creativity... just lazy direction and the youngest of the new directors are the worst of them cause they are already indoctrinated to believe that CGI will solve everything... You CANNOT replace practical effects... the best example is Top Gun Maverick where almost everything is practical with real actors in real fighter jets and you can see the absolute terror in their eyes which would not be there if they were in a studio and planes were CGI... there are 3 seconds of film in one of the training scenes where the plane is actually CGI and you can spot it right away... you can see the difference and your only thought is "this is NOT a real plane"... you CANNOT replace reality with a computer and CGI also make actors perform so much worse cause they're acting without seeing or feeling anything... Early 2000s where we had a ton of practical with only a sprinkle of CGI where it was REALLY needed was the sweet spot... everything after that has been downhill all the way to rock bottom where we are now
@@tyhar7493 I can't remember the exact number if there was more than one built but I do know one of them is privately owned if there is more than one. It is street legal and I've seen it on the road in Miami although the things huge compared to regular traffic
For me,the best Batman is from the Animated Series(1992-1995).Here,he was voiced by Kevin Conroy(so charismatic and authoritative!).And the theme,the one by the late Shirley Walker is magnificent.Unfortunately,her ingenuity was never fully utilised by Hollywood.
@@OfficialMediaKnights if you haven't already, might I suggest reacting to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for the channel? Of all the animated Batman movies, that one was released in theaters, and I can tell you that listening to the opening credits them in full Dolby surround put chills down my spine. Also, some of the most romantic dialogue a Batman film has ever had came from that movie.
The score of this is one of my favourite ever soundtracks. And the acting.. Gary Oldman, Michael Cain, Liam Neeson.. They're truly masters.. The emotions in their eyes are outstanding. This is one of the greatest movie trilogies, let alone superhero franchises. ❤
One of the Best Batman movies ever made! Before Christopher Nolan was brought onboard as director, Wolfgang Peterson, JJ Abrams, The Wachowskis, Darren Aronofsky and David Fischer were considered for the job Josh Brolin Joshua Jackson, Wes Bentley, Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Henry Cavill, Eion Bailey, Billy Crudup, High Dancy, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Cillian Murphy were considered for the role of The Dark Knight. Murphy even screen tested as Batman in the Val Kilmer suit from Batman Forever. Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, and Sarah Michelle Gellar were considered for Rachel Dawes Guy Pearce,Viggo Mortenson, Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman were considered for the role of Ras Al Ghul. Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccelston, Jeremy Davies, Marylin Manson, and Robert Downey Jr were considered for The Scarecrow. Kurt Russell, Chris Cooper, and Dennis Quaid were considered for the role of James Gordon.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Let's be honest... Vigo is a much better actor than Liam, Liam is a bigger name/more mainstream, but Vigo is a PHENOMENAL actor as well as phenomenal human being... the man speaks 100 languages (I'm Greek and I speak perfect English and half decent Spanish and I'm proud ffs lol), he's a poet, a writer, a painter and god knows how many other things... he's a remarkable man Fun fact, Vigo was proficient in both sword fighting and horse riding before he ever set foot in a Lord of the Rings set... they picked him because of it cause they had picked another guy who was cocky and completely arrogant (Ian McKellen had told him "if you don't like it here then just leave"), so they needed a replacement FAST and they picked Vigo cause of his skills... for reference the scene where he fights the Nazgul at Weathertop is Vigo's second day on set but he didn't need any training at all, just told him what to do and he performed it to perfection...
@Kyjohnson1500 that's why after the ten commandments movie with Ridley Scott in 2014 he took a few years off cause his heart was having issues cause of the constant weight gain and loss
I LOVE the relationship between Gordon and Batman in this. I’ve never seen an adaptation that explains why they trust each other so much, and it makes so much sense that Bruce would be so attached to Gordon because he gave him comfort after the worst moment of his life. The ending of this movie is so powerful, with Gordon giving thanks and Batman saying “and you’ll never have to”, knowing who Gordon is to Bruce personally and Gordon having no idea of the impact that he had on Bruce’s life.
Even though batman '89, is my absolute favourite movie,of batman. These Nolan movies are truly incredible. Very dark and intense, that feels true for Batman's character. Phenomenal video and reaction. Stay awesome
Thank you so so much for your kind words, we're so glad you enjoyed! This trilogy is absolutely incredible, just like you said dark, brooding and overall does the character so much justice!
As great as Bale is as an actor, I feel like these movies were great but more because of the villains especially dark night and dark night rises. Batman begins is a great origin story but my least favorite of the trilogy. 🤷🏻♂️
I think what sucks me in to these specifically is the mastery of the well-timed swelling score. The maestro plays with our emotions by not distracting us but enhancing the dialogueless show-don't-tell moments. Perfection.
In my opinion, this was the most well-written film of the The Dark Knight trilogy. The use of metaphor, and the carefully chosen lines that repeat themselves without feeling shoehorned in, are just perfect!
Ah, Batman Begins… it often gets overshadowed by its sequel, but it’s my favourite of the Nolan Batman movies (and it has one of THE most stacked casts ever!). This is how you do a reboot - it feels unburdened by what had come before and is not afraid to be its own thing, without relying on endless callbacks and fanservice moments. Sure, it borrows a lot from the first Spider-Man, which set the standard for origin movies, and from the first X-Men as well, which showed how a comic book movie could be grounded and grown-up as well as popular, but it still stands on its own merits… and truth be told, after Spider-Man 2 the Marvel movies were running out of steam. They had to reboot their own efforts, and the first Iron Man owes a lot to Batman Begins for the grounding of the world, the focus on the developing of the technology etc etc. What goes around comes around! Roll on The Dark Knight!
1:03:50 "You burned my house and left me dead" i think he was saying this as a new Ra's Al Gull bc in this movie the character is not really immortal, and Bruce did actually let "previous" Ras Al Gull dead under desks
I really enjoyed the build up of Bruce Wayne before he became Batman, how he spent years being submerged in the mind of a criminal to understand them, it brought more to the character of Batman, and how Bruce Wayne transitioned into the mythic figure
@@OfficialMediaKnights Field of Dreams 1989(Costner) Color of Money 1986(Tom Cruise, Paul Newman directed by Scorsese) Spielbergs Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind from 1977. An absolute classic of the UFO genre
Batman was my first favorite superhero, and Batman Begins is my favorite Batman film. I got the "Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up" tattoo on my upper back this year with the Batman symbol between the question and answer.
Cillian Murphy was actually the first choice as Batman and there is an audition tape on RUclips. Good fortune on him though all those years. 18 years later Nolan gave him the right film at the right time.
The Nolan Trilogy are still the best superhero / Batman movies and so ambitious it sets an unattainable benchmark for lots of Batman movies afterwards, it's near perfection.
HELL YEAH!!! CHRISTOPHER NOLAN TRILOGY! KEEP IT GOING. So my oldest brother signed an NDA before agreeing to make some of the gadgets on this Batman's utility belt.
YESS!! Oh my god, you guys are on a roll with watching movies that made up my childhood 😂😂 Just wanted to mention that the Tumbler, the huge tank lol, that was real but the rooftop scenes was a miniature like you guys guessed. Same thing with the train crash, also a miniature. Absolutely mind-blowing how well Nolan did with these movies. Seriously love this movie and cannot wait for you to get to the rest of the saga! Love you guys!
Haha dude that's awesome, we hope you enjoy!! Also thank you so much for clarifying that, we LOVED the look and the effects for those scenes!! What a fantastic film! Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate you so much
I just wanna shout out Rutger Hauer as the "evil" CEO in this movie. So few people recognize him in this, but as a longtime fan of Blade Runner and Roy Batty's character, as well as some of his work in videogames such as The Observer, he's sorely missed
DUDEE Thank you guys so much for thiss reactt! I've always loved this movie since I was little. It was really enjoyable to watch from you guys, this channel is my favorite react channel , keep doing this love you two!!
Saw the premiere in Vegas, line wrapped around the building. The air of excitement and anticipation, cosplayers, lore talk and nerding out, all made it enjoyable and part of the entire experience of going to the movie for my galpal and I. Everyone around us was hyped, good vibes, no impatience, just anticipation. Just like you, as soon as that KILLER opening track started... whenever I talk to her, her in London now and me in Vegas, we always talk about the chills we convulsed with lol. Others around the theater couldn't hold their squeals in 😂, understandable. Glad one of my fav channels(yall) refreshed themselves on this classic. Thanks for the react fam, and the memories 🤙🏽
This film bought my love for Batman back to life! I still can’t believe it’s been 19 years since its release. The quality, the story and the acting holds up all these years. 🦇❤
Huge Batman fan & I remember seeing this at the cinema I came out the theatre brought another ticket & went back in to see it again. I love this trilogy & The Batman movie & watched The Penguin first episode last night which was very impressive. You pair are awesome reactors mixing humour, banter & on point discussions.
The Next one is huge. For me one of The Best written movies Ever Not only superhero stuff, But overall The Dark Knight has The Not only the Best Batman acting But The Joker as well by Far The Best performance of an antagonist in history.
the campfire scene between Bruce and Raz where they talk about the loved one they lost is still one of my favorite scene the dialogue was soooooo good !
AS I understand it, each "Tumbler" (Batmobile) cost them a million dollars each, and they used several, some of them only partial, and some fully mobile. And the Director insisted on using as much practical as he could, to give it weight and depth. Kudos to the Kid who played Young Bruce Wayne, too. He had to carry alot on his shoulders to give Adult Bruce the feelings to carry on. The Movie is great on its own, and with the second one to follow it up, they really did alot of work to make it seem real and grounded.
A couple weeks ago , I had the opportunity to see Hans Zimmer Live! And it was… Exhilarating. You could feel the bass in your base. And the Dark Knight Trilogy scores are my favorites Hard to believe Hans said he wasn’t good at making Superhero Themes
A truly great superhero origin film. Superb writing, well shot and acted, quotable lines and very thematically rich (FEAR being the main theme here). A great first chapter of a damn good trilogy and Nolan is one of my favourite filmmakers (like/love his movies, except for TENET which confused the hell out of me). Was a pleasure watching this with you.
Love the utilization of Scarecrow and his toxin to tie all the themes together here. TENET is a visual spectacle and at first it is hard to wrap your head around it but it’s a phenomenal film as well.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Totally concur. Also absolutely love the Joker tease, setting up the awesomeness we would get in The Dark Knight. You actually make a fair point about TENET being a visual spectacle.
Batman Begins is the greatest Batman movie of all-time. The Dark Knight gets recognition because of Heath Ledger but the writing here is top notch. Plus I love Katie Holmes, I wish she could have been in the next film, it would have been more believable.
Two things...1) No superhero has more mentors...Rachel minus the slap, Falconi, Fox, Ras Al Ghul. But...of all the fathers in the hero universe...there can only be one. Alfred. A class act...in a class all by himself. 2) When you get the chance...look up Sandy Corrola's Batman Dead End....a little short that came out just before Batman Begins. Many of us old fogeys attribute this short to influencing the change from the hokey bat predecessors into Bat begins. Good reaction guys. And cheers!
Damn I’m happy you’re reacting to this I love when you guys watch 90s/00s movies. I hope you react to the Matrix one day , really love watching you reactions !
Liam Neeson is so talented he can play both Hero and Villain so flawlessly He is such an interesting villain. i wish he got a little more screen time in this movie.
Holy cow....its nearly 20 years?....thats crazy Nolans adaptation is my favourite of all the batmans Music.. The cast... The writing and dialogue and everything Nolan really understood bruce waynes batman cant wait to see you guys react to the next 2 movies
This is what I love about Christopher Nolan's work, he insists on authenticity and that really is reflected in what you see in his films which is one of the many reasons he is one of the greatest directors of our time
Personally, Keaton is the standard for all Batmen, having been 9 when the first Burton film was released. It was the biggest thing (still) I've seen... Batman merch was everywhere. There were batman impersonators at every mall, grocery store, or major public gathering you went to. And when that iconic all-black logo-only VHS tape came out, it wore out VCRs all around the nation. These remakes were pretty good. But always felt like they missed the mark and feel of the universe that Burton demonstrated so very well.
Grew up watching his version of Batman as a kid. I remember they played it on TV this one time during the holidays and most of my family gathered to watch it since for them this was their one and only Batman. What Tim Burton did was truly ahead of it's time.
@@OfficialMediaKnights the thing both of y'all love birds need 2 know about the Joker (The Clown Prince of Crime) not everything's ever as it seems with the Joker, Joker's a lot of things but predictable & stupid usually ain't any of them, being careful/extra careful not going 2 cut it because when dealing with/up against the Joker always expect the unexpected no matter how obvious or absurd/insane/ridiculous and Joker won't have any1 unmasking Bats as well as making fun of his Jokes (Joker) any1 that/who attempts any of the 2 will either end up dead or suffer a fate far/much/way crueler/worse than death plus Joker's 1 heck of a Voice Impersonator/Master of Disguises!
Matt Reeves and Tim Burton are both better Batman directors than Christopher Nolan imo same for Micheal Keaton and Rorbert Pattinson as Batman they are both better than Christian Bale again that's just my opinion but I still think the Dark Knight is the best Batman film though
I've been binging your channel for a week now, and I am so excited you're doing the Nolan Batman series! I cant wait to watch the next movies with you both!
Two things... 1) It's a very cool original concept of why Bruce chose the bat primarily because of his own fear of them, with the secondary effect of terrorizing the criminal element. He literally cloaked himself into his own fear. 2) Funny how the villain/antagonist have more memorial quotes. But it's Liam Neeson, so it goes without saying.
Great video I love your reactions you two are the best reactors , the saddest part in this movie is when Bruce loses his parents even though its a movie it's still heartbreaking I just can't ever imagine anyone going through that , I'm a grown man and I still get tears every time I see that scene.
So many actors and iterations of this Batman character from Adam West to Pattinson and just like the comics all have their unique take on it 85 years of the best hero ever created happy Batman day
I love the dark knight trilogy and what Nolan did with the character Batman. And as you thought, Nolan used to do everything that was possible with practical effects. That’s why this looks so amazing. I think in the making of the dark knight he said something like „if it’s possible we’ll do it practical“ either in model or built 1:1 and functional
I absolutely love this movie... and yet at the same time when I heard "Master Wayne! Master Wayne!" in the house fire scene, I could not help also hearing "Master Luke! Master Luke!" as a C-3PO line from Star Wars... weird sense of pop culture reference association. :P Great revisiting of this movie, though, glad to see you both get to this movie and this trilogy for that matter.
This is the best film in the trilogy in my opinion. It's the PERFECT blend of gritty realism mixed with dark fantasy/ suspension of disbelief. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece in its own right, but this one just hits different. I also love the depiction of Gotham much better here than the subsequent films.
No doubt a Nolan Batman classic! I like some of the backstory, like Bruce Wayne/Batman, really being and incorporating the ways of the Ninja, which explains so much of his fighting techniques, style and mysterious silent catlike departures etc. Also, the semi horror elements like the fighting scene on the docks. The musical score is epic. Christian Bale said, he would do Batman 4 only, if Nolan wrote and directed the film. Fun Fact: Cillian Murphy was originally cast for the Batman role in Batman Begins.
Batman Begins came out 3 full years before Iron Man (2008) so it can be argued that this was the film that paved the way for the MCU to be taken seriously.

You must do the second movie next. Heath ledger's performance as joker is one of, if not the best acting performances I've ever seen. You look at the character on screen, how he talks and acts, and I still just can not picture the actor at all. He was incredible.
Heath Ledger’s Joker is one of those roles that everybody has either seen or they’ve heard just how good the performance is. What a fantastic actor he was ❤️
The scene where he sits in his cell and claps for Gordon being promoted is the only one where I see a little bit of Heath and that scene was one of the first ones to be filmed if I recall correctly. Rest of the movie he's just gone and there's only the Joker.
The internet was SO nasty before the film when the pics came out of what Joker would look like, and so many people predicting the doom of the picture. None of comic nerd friends were willing to calm down and just wait and see what it would be like. And I admit, I wrinkled up my nose when I saw him, wondering wth they had done to the character. But of all the Batman films out at that time, Nolan's was the most faithful to the source material, even though he wasn't 100% faithful. And I reminded everyone that when we saw pics of Bale before the first movie, we all kind of thought, "Really? THAT'S who they chose to play super-hot, square-jawed, buff Bruce Wayne??" (To my mind, Clooney still played the best BRUCE, though his Batman was written to be campy af so that movie overall was terrible. But on a TV rewatch, I skipped all the Batman parts and just watched him as Bruce, and omg he was PERFECT! Such a shame he got stuck doing a Batman film for a director who wanted to emulate the feel of the 1960s TV show. But I digress...)
But when we watched Bale as Batman, we were all sold on it, so I reminded my friends to just wait and see. And in the end, Ledger gave us THE most frightening take on the villain who, all things considered, is the scariest one in Batman's Rogues' Gallery. (Batman: No Man's Land if you don't believe me.)
that's when you know an actor has done his job, although ne is amazing as Joker. A well deserved Oscar win.
Obvi the one people most talk about and for good reason is the second, but for me this one was the most rewatchable. Seen this one countless times and it never gets old.
We're so excited to watch them all with a fresh mind and see which resonates the most! So far, we're just so happy to be on this ride!
@@OfficialMediaKnights let's rewatch the dark knight 😁
So ridiculously happy to run through this one with you guys. After being so down about where the Batman character was after Batman and Robin and the "hiatus" years, I remember seeing this in the theater and walking out afterwards - and being dumbfounded about the absolute home-run that Nolan pulled off. I was shocked how well he nailed it and how amazing this film was - left in awe - the perfect blend of comic book lore and film skill and technique. So SO fucking good.
Michael Caine / Alfred, the MVP.
Alfred truly is the best and Michael Caine is incredible in this!
He is as good if not better in the dark knight, especially the way he understands the psychology of the Joker.
Also huge respect to Christian Bale, that guy is not human. He went from The Machinist into Batman in a very little amount of time. The dude went from brink of death skinny to a muscular athlete.
*Another point for Bruce's choice of vehicles. Lamborghini Murcielago, which he drives in the Batman movies, Murcielago translation is a bat.
**They did really build several Tumblers. It's an existing prototype. Jay Leno had a video on it.
That tumbler (Batmobile) sequence on the rooftop was infact a miniature. They created a mini remote batmobile to shoot that shot. Corridor Digital explains this in one of their crew reactions.
Ahaaa miniature is such a great way to capture these things without having to resort to CGI!
but the life size car actually exists and is perfectly functional. it has about 1500hp and is privately owned and registered and street legal
@@OfficialMediaKnights Tell that to modern films which directors are being lazy and wasteful... movies nowadays cost 300 million dollars and look 10 times worse than this cause directors just lie back on their rocking chairs and just put CGI into every fucking difficult to produce scene... no creativity... just lazy direction and the youngest of the new directors are the worst of them cause they are already indoctrinated to believe that CGI will solve everything...
You CANNOT replace practical effects... the best example is Top Gun Maverick where almost everything is practical with real actors in real fighter jets and you can see the absolute terror in their eyes which would not be there if they were in a studio and planes were CGI... there are 3 seconds of film in one of the training scenes where the plane is actually CGI and you can spot it right away... you can see the difference and your only thought is "this is NOT a real plane"... you CANNOT replace reality with a computer and CGI also make actors perform so much worse cause they're acting without seeing or feeling anything...
Early 2000s where we had a ton of practical with only a sprinkle of CGI where it was REALLY needed was the sweet spot... everything after that has been downhill all the way to rock bottom where we are now
@@nathanboyle7573 Didn't they build 3 of them if I remember correctly?
@@tyhar7493 I can't remember the exact number if there was more than one built but I do know one of them is privately owned if there is more than one. It is street legal and I've seen it on the road in Miami although the things huge compared to regular traffic
For me,the best Batman is from the Animated Series(1992-1995).Here,he was voiced by Kevin Conroy(so charismatic and authoritative!).And the theme,the one by the late Shirley Walker is magnificent.Unfortunately,her ingenuity was never fully utilised by Hollywood.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy. He was THE Batman to so many ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights if you haven't already, might I suggest reacting to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for the channel? Of all the animated Batman movies, that one was released in theaters, and I can tell you that listening to the opening credits them in full Dolby surround put chills down my spine.
Also, some of the most romantic dialogue a Batman film has ever had came from that movie.
The score of this is one of my favourite ever soundtracks. And the acting.. Gary Oldman, Michael Cain, Liam Neeson.. They're truly masters.. The emotions in their eyes are outstanding. This is one of the greatest movie trilogies, let alone superhero franchises. ❤
Batman DID leave Ra's for dead, because he thought the other guy was Ra's. He saved Liam Neeson's character which in his mind isn't Ra's.
When says “I won’t kill you but I don’t have to save you” and Batman’s eye turn white as he exits, is my most iconic part of this movie.
One of the Best Batman movies ever made!
Before Christopher Nolan was brought onboard as director, Wolfgang Peterson, JJ Abrams, The Wachowskis, Darren Aronofsky and David Fischer were considered for the job
Josh Brolin Joshua Jackson, Wes Bentley, Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Henry Cavill, Eion Bailey, Billy Crudup, High Dancy, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Cillian Murphy were considered for the role of The Dark Knight. Murphy even screen tested as Batman in the Val Kilmer suit from Batman Forever.
Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, and Sarah Michelle Gellar were considered for Rachel Dawes
Guy Pearce,Viggo Mortenson, Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman were considered for the role of Ras Al Ghul.
Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccelston, Jeremy Davies, Marylin Manson, and Robert Downey Jr were considered for The Scarecrow.
Kurt Russell, Chris Cooper, and Dennis Quaid were considered for the role of James Gordon.
It’s always fascinating to see how many people they had in mind. Not gonna lie a Vigo Mortensen Ra’s al Ghul would’ve been amazing too!
Christopher Eccelston would have been a fabulous Scarecrow. It would have basically been a Scary Doctor... lol
@@OfficialMediaKnights Let's be honest... Vigo is a much better actor than Liam, Liam is a bigger name/more mainstream, but Vigo is a PHENOMENAL actor as well as phenomenal human being... the man speaks 100 languages (I'm Greek and I speak perfect English and half decent Spanish and I'm proud ffs lol), he's a poet, a writer, a painter and god knows how many other things... he's a remarkable man
Fun fact, Vigo was proficient in both sword fighting and horse riding before he ever set foot in a Lord of the Rings set... they picked him because of it cause they had picked another guy who was cocky and completely arrogant (Ian McKellen had told him "if you don't like it here then just leave"), so they needed a replacement FAST and they picked Vigo cause of his skills... for reference the scene where he fights the Nazgul at Weathertop is Vigo's second day on set but he didn't need any training at all, just told him what to do and he performed it to perfection...
Imagine jumping from The Machinist to Batman, it must be so hard on the body.
His heart is probably like "dude pick a setting and stick with it already."
Bale has some serious commitment to his roles, seeing the transformation from Machinist to this is utterly astounding!!
Go backwards and react to "American Psycho (2000)".
@@OfficialMediaKnights He gained the weight back for Batman with Pizza, Ice Cream, and weightlifting.
@Kyjohnson1500 that's why after the ten commandments movie with Ridley Scott in 2014 he took a few years off cause his heart was having issues cause of the constant weight gain and loss
I LOVE the relationship between Gordon and Batman in this. I’ve never seen an adaptation that explains why they trust each other so much, and it makes so much sense that Bruce would be so attached to Gordon because he gave him comfort after the worst moment of his life. The ending of this movie is so powerful, with Gordon giving thanks and Batman saying “and you’ll never have to”, knowing who Gordon is to Bruce personally and Gordon having no idea of the impact that he had on Bruce’s life.
Even though batman '89, is my absolute favourite movie,of batman. These Nolan movies are truly incredible. Very dark and intense, that feels true for Batman's character. Phenomenal video and reaction. Stay awesome
Thank you so so much for your kind words, we're so glad you enjoyed! This trilogy is absolutely incredible, just like you said dark, brooding and overall does the character so much justice!
As great as Bale is as an actor, I feel like these movies were great but more because of the villains especially dark night and dark night rises. Batman begins is a great origin story but my least favorite of the trilogy. 🤷🏻♂️
I think what sucks me in to these specifically is the mastery of the well-timed swelling score. The maestro plays with our emotions by not distracting us but enhancing the dialogueless show-don't-tell moments. Perfection.
In my opinion, this was the most well-written film of the The Dark Knight trilogy. The use of metaphor, and the carefully chosen lines that repeat themselves without feeling shoehorned in, are just perfect!
Ah, Batman Begins… it often gets overshadowed by its sequel, but it’s my favourite of the Nolan Batman movies (and it has one of THE most stacked casts ever!). This is how you do a reboot - it feels unburdened by what had come before and is not afraid to be its own thing, without relying on endless callbacks and fanservice moments.
Sure, it borrows a lot from the first Spider-Man, which set the standard for origin movies, and from the first X-Men as well, which showed how a comic book movie could be grounded and grown-up as well as popular, but it still stands on its own merits… and truth be told, after Spider-Man 2 the Marvel movies were running out of steam. They had to reboot their own efforts, and the first Iron Man owes a lot to Batman Begins for the grounding of the world, the focus on the developing of the technology etc etc. What goes around comes around!
Roll on The Dark Knight!
"Bats frighten me. This time my enemies share my dread."
- Bruce Wayne
1:03:50 "You burned my house and left me dead" i think he was saying this as a new Ra's Al Gull bc in this movie the character is not really immortal, and Bruce did actually let "previous" Ras Al Gull dead under desks
Great choice to review this one. Really looking forward to the rest of the Nolan Batman trilogy.
We are so excited to share the rest with y'all, we're loving the journey so far!
"As a symbol I can be incorruptable." That line is the foundation of the next film. Didn't even realize it the 1st time I watch these films😮
I really enjoyed the build up of Bruce Wayne before he became Batman, how he spent years being submerged in the mind of a criminal to understand them, it brought more to the character of Batman, and how Bruce Wayne transitioned into the mythic figure
Let us know what other films deserve the "Still Good After" treatment! ❤
Dracula 1992 /Leon the professional 1994..inspired by your comment about Gary Oldman s greatness..
"Planet of the Apes (1968)," "Some Like It Hot," "The Learning Tree" (1969)," "Logan's Run" and "A Patch of Blue."

Spielbergs Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind from 1977. An absolute classic of the UFO genre
The Prestige (2006), also by Christopher Nolan.
Have you guys reacted to Interstellar?
Batman was my first favorite superhero, and Batman Begins is my favorite Batman film. I got the "Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up" tattoo on my upper back this year with the Batman symbol between the question and answer.
"when this came out I was essentially a kid." 😑 _makes old man grumbly noises_
Same! I was their ages when this came out! 😂
Michael Caine really made the movie special. His steadfastness reminds us that Batman is really a team.
This is by far my favorite series of Batman movies, very well done, and I like the realism it was done with...
It's rare that i watch reactors do anything outside of First Time Reactions. I'm here for the love of what you guys do. Let's Go.
Cillian Murphy was actually the first choice as Batman and there is an audition tape on RUclips. Good fortune on him though all those years. 18 years later Nolan gave him the right film at the right time.
The Nolan Trilogy are still the best superhero / Batman movies and so ambitious it sets an unattainable benchmark for lots of Batman movies afterwards, it's near perfection.
The casting for this trilogy is absolutely crazy, just perfect in pretty much everything, looking forward to next one!
HELL YEAH!!! CHRISTOPHER NOLAN TRILOGY! KEEP IT GOING. So my oldest brother signed an NDA before agreeing to make some of the gadgets on this Batman's utility belt.
Such a fantastic trilogy!! Also that's so cool, wonder what kinds of secrets he had to keep!!
@OfficialMediaKnights A lot of secrets, at least until certain movies were released, then he could say he made certain items.
Appreciate your honesty. Most youtubers never reveal if they watched a particular movie and just act like they are watching it for the first time.
YESS!! Oh my god, you guys are on a roll with watching movies that made up my childhood 😂😂 Just wanted to mention that the Tumbler, the huge tank lol, that was real but the rooftop scenes was a miniature like you guys guessed. Same thing with the train crash, also a miniature. Absolutely mind-blowing how well Nolan did with these movies. Seriously love this movie and cannot wait for you to get to the rest of the saga! Love you guys!
Haha dude that's awesome, we hope you enjoy!! Also thank you so much for clarifying that, we LOVED the look and the effects for those scenes!! What a fantastic film! Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate you so much
Nice to see Rutger Hauer again i live in the same village in the netherlands were he lived and died may he rest in peace
Fun tidbit: the Batman mask gave Christian Bale a headache so he used that to fuel the anger he displayed while in costume
This film still holds up. Nolan delivered a masterpiece.
I just wanna shout out Rutger Hauer as the "evil" CEO in this movie. So few people recognize him in this, but as a longtime fan of Blade Runner and Roy Batty's character, as well as some of his work in videogames such as The Observer, he's sorely missed
Falcone’s speech is the epitome of what makes Batman what he is. I like to think he created Batman, not his parents’ death or Rachel.
DUDEE Thank you guys so much for thiss reactt! I've always loved this movie since I was little. It was really enjoyable to watch from you guys, this channel is my favorite react channel , keep doing this love you two!!
Saw the premiere in Vegas, line wrapped around the building. The air of excitement and anticipation, cosplayers, lore talk and nerding out, all made it enjoyable and part of the entire experience of going to the movie for my galpal and I. Everyone around us was hyped, good vibes, no impatience, just anticipation.
Just like you, as soon as that KILLER opening track started... whenever I talk to her, her in London now and me in Vegas, we always talk about the chills we convulsed with lol. Others around the theater couldn't hold their squeals in 😂, understandable. Glad one of my fav channels(yall) refreshed themselves on this classic. Thanks for the react fam, and the memories 🤙🏽
You know Ras-al-Ghul was some demon when you know he trained both the Batman and Green Arrow.
This is a treat. My favourite duo reacts to my favourite movie.
Aw that's so kind, thank you!! Hope you have fun!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights just realised I commented twice. I've gotta quit day drinking on my weeks off. 😂
This film bought my love for Batman back to life! I still can’t believe it’s been 19 years since its release. The quality, the story and the acting holds up all these years. 🦇❤
Huge Batman fan & I remember seeing this at the cinema I came out the theatre brought another ticket & went back in to see it again.
I love this trilogy & The Batman movie & watched The Penguin first episode last night which was very impressive.
You pair are awesome reactors mixing humour, banter & on point discussions.
The Next one is huge. For me one of The Best written movies Ever Not only superhero stuff, But overall The Dark Knight has The Not only the Best Batman acting But The Joker as well by Far The Best performance of an antagonist in history.
the campfire scene between Bruce and Raz where they talk about the loved one they lost is still one of my favorite scene the dialogue was soooooo good !
"The will to act." Have not forgotten that line.
AS I understand it, each "Tumbler" (Batmobile) cost them a million dollars each, and they used several, some of them only partial, and some fully mobile. And the Director insisted on using as much practical as he could, to give it weight and depth. Kudos to the Kid who played Young Bruce Wayne, too. He had to carry alot on his shoulders to give Adult Bruce the feelings to carry on. The Movie is great on its own, and with the second one to follow it up, they really did alot of work to make it seem real and grounded.
A couple weeks ago , I had the opportunity to see Hans Zimmer Live!
And it was… Exhilarating. You could feel the bass in your base. And the Dark Knight Trilogy scores are my favorites
Hard to believe Hans said he wasn’t good at making Superhero Themes
No way! That must’ve been an amazing experience. We’d love to hear his music live 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights Next time he’s in America, you go!
@@OfficialMediaKnights If you haven't already, check out his live concert in Prague, it's absolutely stunning
A truly great superhero origin film. Superb writing, well shot and acted, quotable lines and very thematically rich (FEAR being the main theme here). A great first chapter of a damn good trilogy and Nolan is one of my favourite filmmakers (like/love his movies, except for TENET which confused the hell out of me). Was a pleasure watching this with you.
Love the utilization of Scarecrow and his toxin to tie all the themes together here. TENET is a visual spectacle and at first it is hard to wrap your head around it but it’s a phenomenal film as well.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Totally concur. Also absolutely love the Joker tease, setting up the awesomeness we would get in The Dark Knight. You actually make a fair point about TENET being a visual spectacle.
Batman Begins is the greatest Batman movie of all-time. The Dark Knight gets recognition because of Heath Ledger but the writing here is top notch. Plus I love Katie Holmes, I wish she could have been in the next film, it would have been more believable.
Two things...1) No superhero has more mentors...Rachel minus the slap, Falconi, Fox, Ras Al Ghul. But...of all the fathers in the hero universe...there can only be one. Alfred. A class act...in a class all by himself. 2) When you get the chance...look up Sandy Corrola's Batman Dead End....a little short that came out just before Batman Begins. Many of us old fogeys attribute this short to influencing the change from the hokey bat predecessors into Bat begins. Good reaction guys. And cheers!
Damn I’m happy you’re reacting to this I love when you guys watch 90s/00s movies. I hope you react to the Matrix one day , really love watching you reactions !
Hard To Believe It Will Be 20 Years,Next Year Since This Movie Came Out,Time Flies, Batman Is The Best 💯 & Great Reactions Everyone 😊
You guys are so sensitive and emotionally intelligent. To mute the word, you know the one, bravo. I appreciate you both. Fantastic people.
Liam Neeson is so talented he can play both Hero and Villain so flawlessly
He is such an interesting villain. i wish he got a little more screen time in this movie.
Poor Celebrimbor, first loses the rings, now the microwave. xD
now I recognize the face
I love your reactions they always make my day when I am having a rough day.❤
Oh that's so kind of you to say, we're so glad that we're able to provide some fun for you! You got this!
This is a great Batman origin story but Mask of the Phantasm is my favourite
Mask of the Phantasm & Under the Red Hood are THE best animated Batman films imo. Both have great stories, acting, & the action is very hardcore.
The Tumbler (Batmobile) actually did everything you see in the films, they actually built a real badass vehicle.
I highly doubt it was an actual car flying from rooftop to rooftop, even if on set.
This is the best batman movie imo.
Easily one of the best, we love it!
Holy cow....its nearly 20 years?....thats crazy
Nolans adaptation is my favourite of all the batmans
Music..
The cast...
The writing and dialogue and everything
Nolan really understood bruce waynes batman
cant wait to see you guys react to the next 2 movies
It's the best of the franchise...the dark night get more attention because of the legend Heath Ledger
Ohhh it's too hard to choose a favorite, we love them all!!
finally yey this is the beggining of my favorite reactioners to take lot of sagas greetings from el salvador
You guys should check out Batman Mask Of The Phantasm.

You guys are great! Can’t f*king wait for part 2 and 3 😁
I’ve never seen a single Batman film, this will be a new experience for me ❤
Love you guys
Ohhh awesome, definitely check it out it's so worth it!!
This is what I love about Christopher Nolan's work, he insists on authenticity and that really is reflected in what you see in his films which is one of the many reasons he is one of the greatest directors of our time
Personally, Keaton is the standard for all Batmen, having been 9 when the first Burton film was released. It was the biggest thing (still) I've seen... Batman merch was everywhere. There were batman impersonators at every mall, grocery store, or major public gathering you went to. And when that iconic all-black logo-only VHS tape came out, it wore out VCRs all around the nation.
These remakes were pretty good. But always felt like they missed the mark and feel of the universe that Burton demonstrated so very well.
Grew up watching his version of Batman as a kid. I remember they played it on TV this one time during the holidays and most of my family gathered to watch it since for them this was their one and only Batman. What Tim Burton did was truly ahead of it's time.
Another member of the Keaton Club. Here's your membership card: 🃏.
@@OfficialMediaKnights the thing both of y'all love birds need 2 know about the Joker (The Clown Prince of Crime) not everything's ever as it seems with the Joker, Joker's a lot of things but predictable & stupid usually ain't any of them, being careful/extra careful not going 2 cut it because when dealing with/up against the Joker always expect the unexpected no matter how obvious or absurd/insane/ridiculous and Joker won't have any1 unmasking Bats as well as making fun of his Jokes (Joker) any1 that/who attempts any of the 2 will either end up dead or suffer a fate far/much/way crueler/worse than death plus Joker's 1 heck of a Voice Impersonator/Master of Disguises!
Remakes? These movies aren't remakes. As for the nature of gotham 2022 the baman did it the best. Its not a perfect film but it felt like gotham
Matt Reeves and Tim Burton are both better Batman directors than Christopher Nolan imo same for Micheal Keaton and Rorbert Pattinson as Batman they are both better than Christian Bale again that's just my opinion but I still think the Dark Knight is the best Batman film though
I've been binging your channel for a week now, and I am so excited you're doing the Nolan Batman series! I cant wait to watch the next movies with you both!
Two things...
1) It's a very cool original concept of why Bruce chose the bat primarily because of his own fear of them, with the secondary effect of terrorizing the criminal element. He literally cloaked himself into his own fear.
2) Funny how the villain/antagonist have more memorial quotes. But it's Liam Neeson, so it goes without saying.
Indeed. Dr. Cray was so intelligent. He always being a lacky to someone far more sinister.
Great video I love your reactions you two are the best reactors , the saddest part in this movie is when Bruce loses his parents even though its a movie it's still heartbreaking I just can't ever imagine anyone going through that , I'm a grown man and I still get tears every time I see that scene.
Can't believe its almost 20 years since this trilogy started...insanely good as always..🙏🏻🇬🇧
I love that you both have a deep appreciation of practical effects and the finer points of great filmaking.
So many actors and iterations of this Batman character from Adam West to Pattinson and just like the comics all have their unique take on it 85 years of the best hero ever created happy Batman day
I love the dark knight trilogy and what Nolan did with the character Batman. And as you thought, Nolan used to do everything that was possible with practical effects. That’s why this looks so amazing. I think in the making of the dark knight he said something like „if it’s possible we’ll do it practical“ either in model or built 1:1 and functional
Just wanna say you guys are quickly becoming another ray of light for me and all the hard days I’ve been having lately. Keep up the awesome work ❤
I am hardcore batman fan and to this day this is my favorite Batman movie EVER.
Omg finally! Thank you for reacting to this movie!
I absolutely love this movie... and yet at the same time when I heard "Master Wayne! Master Wayne!" in the house fire scene, I could not help also hearing "Master Luke! Master Luke!" as a C-3PO line from Star Wars... weird sense of pop culture reference association. :P Great revisiting of this movie, though, glad to see you both get to this movie and this trilogy for that matter.
This is possibly the best Batman movie ever made… if not it’s absolutely in the conversation.
This is the best film in the trilogy in my opinion. It's the PERFECT blend of gritty realism mixed with dark fantasy/ suspension of disbelief. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece in its own right, but this one just hits different. I also love the depiction of Gotham much better here than the subsequent films.
No doubt a Nolan Batman classic! I like some of the backstory, like Bruce Wayne/Batman, really being and incorporating the ways of the Ninja, which explains so much of his fighting techniques, style and mysterious silent catlike departures etc. Also, the semi horror elements like the fighting scene on the docks. The musical score is epic. Christian Bale said, he would do Batman 4 only, if Nolan wrote and directed the film. Fun Fact: Cillian Murphy was originally cast for the Batman role in Batman Begins.
Batman Begins came out 3 full years before Iron Man (2008) so it can be argued that this was the film that paved the way for the MCU to be taken seriously.
