Am I the only one who thinks this movie is forgotten too easily? The Dark Knight blew this out of the water, but it's an amazing Batman piece nonetheless, Liam Neeson was a great Ra's Al Ghul, and unfortunately, this was the closest we got to a Scarecrow, only for him to be sidelined, but this has a much more "Batman" feel to Gotham city.
People say this very often here, especially lately. I don't like it much, but it's the best of the three. The Prestige is the only nolan film i can get into.

>The Dark Knight blew this out of the water,
it did not.
Batman Begins literally started superhero movies in the modern era with its emphasis on origin stories. Marvel pretty much copied it for Iron Man. That's why I consider both to be #1 and #2.
Evan Rivera
I agree with you but replace The Prestige with Memento.
Benjamin Anderson
It's probably the best superhero origin story. And I agree, the best suit too, purely because there's less going on with padding and it looks more simple.
Ethan Barnes
THE ONE WIT LIAM NEESONS IN IT?!
Easton Wilson
Spiderman came out before this. Ironman is better than batman begins, tony stark actually has a problem that he overcomes and is a dynamic character. All of nolans characters are just props that gives lines dealing with the movie's theme without actually being believable characters
Samuel Gonzalez
>The Dark Knight blew this out of the wate This movie had the same problem all the Nolan films did but it was by far the best one.
This scene fits Batman much better, stealth, and using fear, rather than charging in and beating everyone down in plain view.
Aiden Adams
>That's why I consider both to be #1 and #2
But Winter Soldier is better than Iron Man
Aaron Hernandez
the trilogy is terrible, except for the scenes with heath ledger
Aiden Taylor
What problem was that?
William Allen
I really don't like Nolan, but what is the problem that all his films share? I thought Batman Begins was fine.
Jack Bennett
Agreed, I've never understood why The Dark Knight has gone down as the best of the trilogy, for me: BB > DKR > TDK
Jose Richardson
Ironman is overrated as fuck. After he blows up some sandniggers, I literally can't even remember what the point of the rest of the movie was. Begins was a good origin story and there were some great scenes when he came back like at the docks, call of the bats, etc.
Nicholas Parker
>But Winter Soldier is better than Iron Man
Winter Soldier had a derivative spy-thriller plot that involved exposing a puppet government, but it's the first Captain America movie that wasn't absolute shit. I'll give u that.
Carson Lee
>Spiderman came out before this
Spiderman 1 was also good before the series got too wacky.
I'll say its definitely top 3.
Thomas Bailey
Begins suffers from a comparatively weak third act whereas TDK's build-up to its climax is probably the best in any cape flick. If Begins finished as strongly as TDK does I think it might be considered the best of the trilogy. Rises is definitely the worst, though, except for the opening scene.
James Myers
Spiderman: Winter Soldier is better than Iron Man 2

I like BB but Katie Holmes just ruins the movie. Rewatch and tell me I'm wrong

Jesus. Nolan is a proper filmmaker. If you don't like his movies, then what do you like?
Robert Flores
It's the only one of the three Nolan movies that's an actual, legitimate Batman movie. None of the others genuinely capture the spirit of Batman. Ledger's performance was good and carried Dark Knight, but it wasn't actually accurate to the Joker character.
DK and DKR are just regular action movies pushed through a Batman filter whereas Begins is real Batman.
Jayden Parker
>If you don't like Nolan you don't like cinéma!
What sort of a strange, immature response is this? It's called taste. People have different, and apparently better taste than you. There are serious filmmakers out there, he is not one.
Zachary Allen
BB>TDK>DKR
Kayden Phillips
But he is a serious filmmaker. And he's proper one at that. Which is my point, I understand not liking some of his movies due to subject. But just not liking the guy? There's always pieces of great cinematic work in his movies that you have to appreciate.
John Lewis
I love this movie. Great suit, loved when it was in Dark Knight. God tier training scene and ending.
Luis Parker
The dubs of lies. You skipped so many key movies, and BvS is an awful shit show. Also, what in the name of fuck is Super?
Cooper Phillips
Its a competent story but not a good one. You like it for the same reason any cinephile likes Nolan movies, color grading and Zimmerman. Is there any good reason why the middle is shown out of chronological order? Half the lines in the movie are some sort of monologue no one would actually say in real life
Cooper Stewart
I don't see how it built up to two face, felt pretty tacked on
Alexander Ortiz
You can't just hand pick a few scenes from movies and say someone is a great filmmaker because of those scenes like its a buffet. A good filmmaker isn't great because of the score, the acting, the editing, the cinematography, or the story, it's all those things combined.
Nolan is competent and above average at best, but not great
Adrian Hall
Really poor action sequences, really bad action dialogue, really poor batman gravely voice bullshit
Cinematography is pretty great as is the overall flow of the movie
Jack Smith
It really should have ended when Ledger died and saved Two-Face for later.
Alexander Hall
Two-face was amazing, but so underused.
Hunter James
It's the best of the trilogy story and character wise
TDK gets all the attention because it is a better finished product and appeals to a more casual audience
>implying this isn't the greatest capeshit scene of all time
A lifetime of pain and motivation brought full circle in minutes
John Jackson
LITERALLY a ***scene for scene*** remake of the Shadow movie from the early 90s.
Which was pure unadulterated shit.
Adam Martin
Wots da point of all dem pushups if ya can't lift a bloody log?
Parker Edwards
This. Dark Knight is more liked as a movie but begins was the best bat movie.+ it had a lot of year one imagery
Benjamin Walker
It's hard to describe, but Begins had more gloomy atmosphere that felt much more Batman-ish to me.
Jackson Garcia
I like Batman Begins the most. It has the most vision as a Batman movie.
TDK was just a slick thriller TDKR was just shit
Carter Morales
An user claimed that changin the brown n black filter with the addition of the making most of the movie take place during the day, made the sequals lose some of the magic
In begins, Nolan turned the bat into the fucking predator and it was awesome
Caleb Mitchell
Really? So Maggie Gyllenhall's ugly mug gets you rock hard then?
Camden Allen
what is it like being autistic?
Isaac Jenkins
oh shit great response
Isaiah Gray
yes more cartoonish, dark but somehow comfortable like the Btas cartoon. dark knight was as depressing and hollow as reality
