The best Batman movie?

Wario · 14 Nov 2010, 23:37

hey, I was wondering, with the reently released statement about the title of Batman 3 and the fact riddler is NOT the villain, whats your favorite previous Batman movie?

Mines: Batman Returns. Danny DeVito's penguin was so sinister. moreso then Heath's Joker.

**RadioMaster** · 14 Nov 2010, 23:40

Batman Returns is thoroughly enjoyable, maybe more so than the first one. I like the personal struggle (and the looks

) of Catwoman in this one.

Think my favourite is Batman Begins. I think The Dark Knight is the best, but I cant watch it as often...it's just too much of everything at times.

If you havent seen it yet, check out this video, featuring clips from Batman and Batman Returns to the music of Mr. Steinmans Batman musical demos.

I have fond memories of Batman and Batman Returns, but they are not as good as my brain would have me believe. Batman Forever is average and Batman & Robin is utter shite. Batman Begins is really good, but The Dark Knight is better.

Jayd · 14 Nov 2010, 23:53

The earlier Batman's are wayyyyyy to cheesy, and got worse the more they made. The reboot of Batman series, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are a lot better, very sinister, serious and not full of cheese.

I wanna say the first Burton Batman due to Jack Nicholson nailing the character of the joker but I'm gonna say Returns due to Catwoman she's purrrfect (I could not resist the bad pun!)

PanicLord · 15 Nov 2010, 01:12

The Dark Knight is frickin' awesome and a far superior film, so I voted for that. Probably Batman Returns is the most fun though, and I also quite like Batman Forever (due mainly to Jim Carey and Tommy Lee Jones).

**allrevvedup** · 15 Nov 2010, 15:25

Dark Knight. Batman Begins as a close second.

Batman & Robin was definitely the worst, save for Uma Thurman

**RadioMaster** · 15 Nov 2010, 17:36

not sure if I ever made it all the way through Batman Forever... didnt even attempt Batman & Robin... (though I own the four movie boxset lol)

on a sidenote, I think the the title "The Dark Knight Rises" for the new one is kinda boring and expectable...

*AndyK* · 15 Nov 2010, 17:59

Having not seen The Dark Knight yet I can't comment on that one, so for me thus far it's Batman Begins.

Evil One · 15 Nov 2010, 18:02

Pull your finger out. It's an awesome filum.

Nolan is great at what he does but he'll have a tough task of making the film as good as, if not better than, the first two films.

Evil One · 15 Nov 2010, 18:09

I wouldn't be surprised if the title gets changed before it's released. I also wouldn't be surprised if Nolan goes back on his word and decides to make a fourth one in a few years time.

Money talks...hey at least it's better than the idea of a Spiderman 'Re-boot'

my sentiments exactly

Of course this third one has now been confirmed to contain a female villain.

So that really narrows down the pot to two: Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

Not being sexist or anything but I wanna guy villain here too. I dont want this to be too romantic....

Evil One · 15 Nov 2010, 19:47

Talia Al Ghul? Harley Quinn?

**The Flying Mouse** · 15 Nov 2010, 19:57

Batman THe Movie (1966).
That's where the POWs are

Must get round to seeing this at some point.

Out of the options available however, i'll go with 89 for Nicolson's performance of The Joker.

I was debating whether to list the 1966 movie, but i figured it would kill the poll.

**RadioMaster** · 15 Nov 2010, 20:14

I'd be surprised if the villain will NOT be catwoman!

I coulve sworn Nolan denounced catwoman being in it. The same interview he changed penguin's status from "No" to "a ittle tricky"

Im saying its, as evil one said, talia al gual and the penguin

R. · 15 Nov 2010, 20:59

The Dark Knight.

daveake · 15 Nov 2010, 23:04

Well, obviously, it was this one ...

More seriously though, The Dark Knight first and Batman Begins second.
