Which is your favorite Christoper Nolan Batman movie?

...Batman Returns was OK but more unhinged and removed from reality (in a good way, and a younger Micheller Pfeiffer clad in shiny latex helped).

The problem was the greater creative control Burton was granted after the success of 1989.

The first film was essentially Batman directed by Tim Burton.

Returns, by contrast, was a Tim Burton film that happened to feature Batman.

And, on an unrelated side note, 10,000 posts. Wooh!

He is a twisted villain and intimidating but to have a bunch of thugs to do your bidding to the point where they watch their boss burn away over several million dollars? Given the cut-throat world these criminals reside in I think the blind obedience from the joker's henchmen was overplayed.

It's a bit goofy, but I think Batman Begins set it up when they had the massive breakout from Arkham Asylum. The Joker probably drew heavily from the Arkham escapees.

Yeah, the goon Harvey took into the subway was one of the Arkham escapees. Also, Joker's usage of the mentaly ill as goons comes from Ed Brubaker's The Man Who Laughs.

Looking at the results, it seems like TDK won by a strong margin on this board, so it seems like civil war and needless bloodshed won't be necessary for now.

It´s been a while since I´ve seen Batman Begins but i can remember that I was constantly thinking "Just hold that god damn camera still! And quit cutting every 1/4 second, so I can actually see what´s going on in this fight!".

I've really enjoyed both films immensely, but I do find that I enjoyed Batman Begins a bit more over the Dark Knight, mostly because it doesn't feel like dragging on that long. The Dark Knight was a great film, but toward the end, I always start glancing at the time. So vote goes to BB.

And I wish Bale would lose the Batman Voice, I'm hard of hearing and I have difficulty understanding people on film at the best of time, but I've found Bale's Batman Voice to be incomprehensible without subtitles.

There's only one man who can do the Batman voice and his name is Kevin Conroy.

SFdebris' review of The Dark Knight is now up.

That I agree with! I haven't watched the Batman cartoons in years, but I still remember the awesomeness that is Conroy's Batman. I wonder if there's a way to get them on DVD...

*does Amazon check*

There is! I just might have to buy a season or two next payday...

The DCAU really influenced my love and view of the characters. Whenever I read, I hear the voices of DCAU alumni (Kevin Conroy's Batman, Mark Hamill's Joker, Phill LaMarr's John Stewart, Michael Rosenbaum's Wally West, etc.)

The DCAU was my main exposure to all of the mentioned characters, and I loved it.
