    After the Nolan films Gotham or DCEU have taken certain traits like going to all in one cowl, Selina Kyle looking like Michelle Pfeiffer etc.

      Well, it will always depend who you ask to, the generation and their general knowledge of Batman. Like you said, the quality of the movies itself isn't even relevant, but the Batman universe is a fantasy one, it includes ice men, plant women, you name it, and the fact that TDK does its best to take place in the real world makes it impossible to be considered definitive.

        No it does not. It simply is taking a new approach with the character. Batman is a fantasy of course but in the end taking a realistic approach is not so far fetched. In the end you still get him dressing like a Bat and fighting criminals. The psychology of the character is still very much there. You even got the clown prince of crime in TDK. Sorry I know this offends you because you are such an avid fan of those trash Burton films but Nolan surpassed those films. Read the critical reception and weep. The entire trilogy is seen as better critically than Burton's trash films and rightfully so.

          You're a moron.
          Of course you're entitled to your opinion as to what is superior, but why trash other films? If you don't like this film, bug off and stop trolling its fans.

            Did I ever say people do not have the right to like Burton's films? Nope I never did I simply find them to be trash and an embarrassment to cinema. So you are the one who is a moron buddy. I never called anyone stupid for liking Burton's films that is their opinion and they have a right to it. I can and will call Burton's films trash because in my opinion they are.

                  It's the definitive live-action one as far as I'm concerned. The Nolan trilogy is great but it doesn't embrace the larger-than-life fantastic approach one expects from a superhero film.

                    I only ever hear people talk about the Nolan films as "the" Batman films. Also Batman seems much stronger and more of a superhero in the Nolan films then in Batman where he doesn't fight as well and at times runs from the bad guys! That was crazy to me to watch as they have Batman run away from some old dudes dressed in wayfarers at night.

                      Nolan's realistic approach was initially interesting but gotten nonsensical in the sequels.

                        My thought exactly;
                        "Begin"
                        was the best, but became something unacceptable in canon for me in the sequels; just call me old!

                          It's what happens when you make something like Begins where people look at it as the way to go from now on and where everyone starts calling Nolan & Co a genius, he thinks he can just take any old Batman character, strip them down, make them grounded in reality, puts them out and they're lackluster as hell or unrecognizable in appearance.

                            I don't understand why Begins gets a pass whereas TDK and TDKR get attacked.
                            I personally thought that Nolan's versions of the Joker, Bane, Two-Face and even Catwoman, are more exciting and visually appealing than anything he did with Ra's al Ghul or Scarecrow (who basically amounted to a physically unassuming guy in a suit and a ratty sack-mask).

                              It's unfortunate that the last 2 offerings of Nolan just didn't do much for me! They're huge, but
                              "Begins"
                              continues to be my all time fave; so classic with great music! It took me back to a feel of a "gladiator" movie with all kinds of honor being acknowledge, where good had to battle over evil at the end! The train scene was great; esp. Bruce's exit:
                              "I won't kill, but I don't have to save you!"

                                Isn't it hypocritical for Batman to say he won't kill Ra's but he won't save him either? It's a crime of omission, seeing as he knows that failing to do anything will result in Ra's' near certain death.
                                That line is thus pretentious and meaningless posturing.

                                  That and he had Gordon shoot out the train tacks. So he totally killed Ras.

                                    Apart from the villains Begins had a better suit than the one after.

                                      I also preferred the Begins suit to that of TDK/TDKR.

                                        Because it was a re-boot with a back-story so therefore it has an excuse for not being "fully-loaded."
                                        That and because everyone considers it a solid comic book movie. The delusional ones "think" The Dull Knight and The Dull Knight Rests are the most awesomest movies ever made because they are awesome and realistic and grounded in realism - regardless of all the mistakes, stupidity, poor film-making, etc in those movies.

                                          So you have it all figured out where as professional film critics have it wrong. Good to know I should put more stock in you than them. Tell me more about Clint Eastwood's four acting Oscars he has
