The Dark Knight is a better movie than Batman Begins, but Begins had the best Rachel.
This is a fact.

I can get behind this ranking wholeheartedly.

>5. Batman (1966)
>6. Batman Returns
Retard. TDKR is a terrible movie and Adam West low quality parody.

Batman Returns is garbage. Go rewatch it and come back here and try to defend it. I watched it as an adult after a 10 year gap and was really turned off by every line being some stupid double entendre, the plot going fucking nowhere, and so many characters that nobody gets to shine and everyone's wasted.

Feifs looked sexy and her and Devito (and Walken) were great casting, but the script was so bad it tanked the whole fucking thing.

Take off your nostalgia goggles. Batman Returns is a long and drawn out mess. It's visually beautiful and Catwoman is sexy, but that's all it has going for it. Rises and Batman 1966 are at least fun to watch.

I prefer Begins to The Dark Knight. Fight me.

>low-quality parody
>missing the point
It's fucking kino.

Switch returns with begins and we've got competent list.

This is true.

Returns doesn't deserve to be number 3 on the list. Its only slightly better than the Schumacher films.

Why do people praise Batman Returns?

It's visually impressive and has a melodramatic tone that isn't grounded by realism.

>melodramatic tone that isn't grounded by realism
So the script sucks, and it's full of ridiculous action scenes and ex machinas?

>Calls Returns a drawn out mess then says
>Rises is fun to watch
The mental gymnastics of Nolan apologists.

Welcome to Batman, enjoy your stay

To be fair, I've seen Returns a million times and I've had years to pick it apart. I only saw Rises once in theaters and it was opening night, so I was fucking hyped.

>ex machina

You have no idea what that term means

Batman V Superman was more of a Superman movie than a Batman movie. Prove me wrong.

You aren't

The fact that Rises's beginning is so bad that it's become a meme on a grand scale is a testament to how stupid that movie is. It wouldn't be so bad if Nolan couched the trilogy in a goofball, wishywashy tone, but instead he went full realism. That's why Batman Forever, while probably a worse all around movie than Returns, isn't so bad--Schumacher set out to make a campy monstrosity and he succeeded at it. It is what it wants to be. Returns wants to be more of Batman 89 but it falls flat without a good script and by watering down good villain performances with too many of them. TDKR failed partially because it had all the usual Nolan plot holes, but also because it just wasn't as compelling in the way that TDK or Batman 89 were.

The Ultimate Cut, sure. Supes has barely 43 lines on dialogue in the theatrical version.

>the theatrical version

I just pretend it doesn't exist

*lines of

Come at me.

This is completely arbitrary and you know it.

The fact that you've bothered to see Returns many times and only TDKR once says everything about how bad TDKR is.

Batman Returns is 25 years old, and I grew up with it. I watched Rises as an adult, and I guess I never felt the need to buy it on DVD. I still have my VHS copy of Returns from when I was a kid.

Swap TDKR and Batman & Robin and you got a deal.

>arbitrary
No.

BvS is my favorite. TDK is my favorite Nolan. and Returns is my favorite Burton. B&R is fucking K I N O when you understand it's in the silver age vein like the 66 series. Clooney is a fucking goof and it's hilarious. Forever is too but it's still played half straight which is why I like Forever less than Begins and Burton's 89. TDKR is without a doubt my least favorite.

That and a better looking Gotham City

This

Its the better comic film. And batman isnt the sideshow to the villain

What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning

What would you say
If you had to leave today?
Leave everything behind
Even though for once, you're shining

Standing on higher ground
When you hear the sounds
You realize its just the wind
And you notice it matters who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
All emotion set aside it

Convince yourself
Someone else
Hide from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall
Takes you as you fall

No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
Do the same as you

What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall

No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

Year One is fucking boring.

Why was Scarecrow in all three Nolan films? Why didn't they lock him up after Begins?

I, also, think Batman Returns is cool

I'd put Batman 1966 over TDKR but otherwise I agree.

Mask of the Phantasm was a theatrically released movie. It counts.

It's christmas kino.

Watched it this past christmas eve while waiting for st. Nick.

>leaving out Suicide Squad

It had batman in it, it had Joker, it had Harley Quinn, deadshot, and killer croc. Despite not being a batman movie i still consider it a batman property.
