<ol>
<li>The story: "we're each other's opposite, we're both crazy but i'm different ways, I made this guy but this guy made me, we'll joke around together in the second act and in the third there will be a big fight, and oh there's this screaming lady one of us have to kidnap and another to save" and it is overall lazily wrote<br />
Seriously, it's nothing new, it's bland and predictable.<br />
The Joker killing Bruce's parents: This felt wrong, it completely alters the great equilibrium that was in the comics, it just gets awkward and kind of lame.</li>
<li>The supporting cast: Eh, the only guy I really liked was Alfred, the other characters were disposable and really forgettable, Jack Palance and Billy Dee Williams (which was introduced in a pretty bad way, like oh yeah this guy's the district attorney, keep him in mind, we may need it later) were the only good actors. Commissioner Gordon is horrendous and it really murders a great characters.</li>
<li>This movie is not dark. It hasn't got the psychologic deepness of the comics, if not some bits in the titular character, it's not daring, it's just can't be compared with The Killing Joke or The Dark Knight Returns, which it is said to be based but it's actually not.</li>
<li>Out of characater: They gave too much information about him and his origin story is pretty dope. Here the Joker is just a crazy b<strong><strong>rd, in TKJ and TDKR, which again this movie is supposed to be based on, he is a crazy b</strong></strong>rd too, but he's an AWESOME and sometimes even complex crazy b****rd, here not much, he's just a slightly above average maniac gangster. I don't particularly dislike this version, mainly because Jack Nicholson, which is the most awesome psycho ever, but it just didn't felt appropriate.<br />
And the famous "WANNA GET NUTSSSS?" scene, which is downright ridiculous. I'm not the first one to say this, but the character of Bruce Wayne is just too weird, if someone told me "Hey that guy was actually Batman" I'd be like "Eh, I thought so"<br />
The fact that batman kills didn't disturb me very much, but here it was done pretty randomly, it just distracted me.<br />
5)The batman costume <em>beep</em> sucks: Fact.<br />
What's good about it?<br />
Nicholson's lovely campy portrayal of the Joker, Keaton's menacing and gritty version of Batman, which is probably one of the best Batmans ever, the directing, the effects, the score and the overall atmosphere, very noir and stylish, a lot like the 30s and o bit of influence from 70-80s comics (which is probably the best batman period)<br />
It's not bad, but it's deeply flawed and nothing more than an average blockbuster.<br />
And, no, I'm not a nolanite, the only movie more overrated than this that cames in my mind is The Dark Knight, Batman Returns is much better.<br />
This signature is hilarious and original.<br />
NAAAT!</li>

<p dir="auto">Isn't Batman Begins the one where he goes to Tibet and gets all serious with the Ninga $hit? Then flies home, hires Morgan Freeman, and dates Katie Holmes?<br />
If so, I did laugh at that movie. Key word is "at". That was my least favorite of all the Batman movies. Sorry, just my opinion. When he was talking to Holmes in the subway with the gravel voice, I got up and visited the candy counter. I OD'd on sugar until I was finally "released" from the theater.   lol.<br />
We won't even discuss the Batman vs Superman movies. They were made for kindergartners, and 'anything' Ben Affleck is in sucks, except for the rare occasion that his buddy Matt Damon lets him in one of his flicks.</p>

<p dir="auto">Well sorry it's like a 100x100 pixel picture, you can't really see what's precisely in there.<br />
But anyway, you gotta admit that the voice never got to EXTREME levels of stupidity until the second movie.<br />
And yeah, I agree on the fact that the Nolan movies take themselves too seriously, but c'mon, Batman Begins compared to the other two is pretty tame on that, and it has a pretty comic-like atmosphere in some scenes.</p>

<p dir="auto">"Yeah, looks like you're a bit confused since your profile pic is from "The Batman movies with Christian Bale,although yeah, Batman Begins is the only really good one".<br />
LolBatman has ears. Put your specs on. Also, NO. "Batman Begins" sucks as does all of his movies. It's mainly his voice. He tries to disguise it from Bruce Wayne's by speaking low and sexy, and what comes out is a guy in a Halloween costume that swallowed a ball of cat hair. I could never get past his voice to enjoy any of his Batman movies. Also, the Bat-mobile looks more like a Army recon ATV. His movies take themselves too seriously, and they take the fun out of the franchise. Batman with Michael Keaton, and Kim Basinger was all the Batmans I ever needed.<br />
P.S. Don't get me wrong or feel like I'm trolling. I am happy that others have enjoyed other Batman movies involving Christian Bale, I'm just not one of them. <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":-)" alt="🙂" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Like I said, I bought the hype and was there in the theater on opening weekend with my Batman shirt, but, despite this, even I could see that the movie and the surrounding hysteria was a case of "the Emperor's New Clothes." Not that there's<br />
nothing<br />
good in it, of course; just that it wasn't even close to being as mind-blowingly awesome as the mass hype made it out to be.<br />

<p dir="auto">When it was one of very few superhero films around at the time, that kind of upped the grade curve. Add on the nostalgia colored glasses, and people remember it as being better than it is.</p>

<p dir="auto">film was HUGE at the time. Friggin HUGE. If you weren't around (I get the feeling you prob weren't born when the film came out) you simply have no idea about how huge the movie was and how it totally reinvented Batman and indeed the whole superhero film genre. TOTALLY.<br />
I was there (at the theater with my Batman t-shirt) and, you're right, the movie was huge. BUT it sucked. I was wholly disappointed; and so were many others who didn't drink the Kool-Aid of mass hype and delusion. Sure the movie<br />
looked<br />
good, but the story is<br />
boring<br />
and the tone is campy/goofy, the antithesis of 2005's "Batman Begins," which was what I was hoping "Batman" would be, but I had to wait 16 years. And, no, I'm not a Nolanite; not even a little.<br />

<p dir="auto">The costume rocks.<br />
I don't see what was so wrong with using the Joker as the killer of Bruce's parents (other than maybe making him too old), it seems a fine extension of that in some of the comics Batman did create the Joker (or contributed in turning him from a bad guy to a really bad, crazy supervillain).</p>
