I always find Batman to be at his most compelling when he's presented as a tragic romantic mythic hero. I think the animated series, the Arkham games and The Batman have all presented Batman like this. Batman's story ultimately is about the endurance of good and his no kill rule is the most useful story telling tool that writers have to show that the good in batman is enduring.

Aka the batman who sucks.

I like how you describe "The Batman" as your Batman. There are enough iterations of the Dark Knight that literally each generation has their own version that speaks to them. Mine was Batman '89, which heavily influenced the Bruce Timm "Batman: The Animated Series". When I was still single digits, the thing that spoke to me most about Batman was the whimsical nature of it all. Gotham might be dark and gritty, but it still felt like a different, more fantastical reality. That even carries over to me today, where I enjoyed but did not vibe with more grounded Batman movies. "The Batman", however, does show Bruce in a position I've never actually seen him in before: as a beacon of hope. Right at the end of the movie after Gotham had been flooded, he didn't slink into the shadows to watch the spectacle unfold. He pulled out a flare and served the people of his city, sticking around until the job was done and everybody that he could save was safe. THIS is the true definition of a superhero, even one as broken and human as Bruce Wayne. I'd still love to see actual monsters in these movies, though. Killer Croc and Manbat would be AMAZING in a more grounded superhero style!

The most interesting thing about those characters is their alter egos.

If I could make my own interpretation of Batman, he wouldn't exist. That sounds stupid, but I think its fantastic. Batman, to me, is less a person and more a folkloric creature. People end up in the hospital, either unable to remember what happened or talking about being attacked by a shadow. The few times that he's glided across the city, people don't believe it actually happened, they think they were hallucinating or just saw a bat fly by their window. He's talked about in hushed whispers in a seedy bar filled with cigarette smoke. People talk about seeing a person standing on top of a building, only to disappear when they look away. He isn't a person, he's a myth.

Despite how good a live action Batman movie is, for me personally and pretty sure for a lot of people, Kevin Conroy has had many opportunities to play the dark knight and hence gets the job done almost perfectly every time. Batman being a timeless character will be depicted in different versions for generations to come but I don't think Kevin Conroy and his work can ever be topped.

“My Batman” is Batman The Animated Series’ Batman because of Kevin Conroy’s Bruce Wayne performance. There is a warmth when he is the positive father figure to Dick Grayson, a father figure i never had.

@SeasideDetective2

Perhaps there's a reason for that. When Adam West was reading the comic books in preparation for his role as Batman, he noted that the villains always seemed to be the more fascinating characters. His conclusion was that Batman, despite looking bizarre for a superhero, was at the end of the day a very traditional and uncomplicated hero. West's characterization of Batman was simple: he was brave, he was hard-working, he was righteous, he was intelligent, and he despised crime and injustice. That does sound pretty boring, and I personally prefer a more soul-searching and character-flawed Batman, but I've always thought of what I've described above to be the default characterization.

With you being born in 2000 it makes perfect sense how you view the Batman movies. I was four years old when Batman 1989 came out. Yes, watching them now you realize they are not really good movies but you got to understand there was really nothing else like it at the time. For many, it was our first exposure to Batman and it was such a huge phenomenon during that time. Batman was everywhere. The point I am making is when a person is born is definitely going to change how they view these movies.

idunno i really want to see scarecrow in the next film commentating on how he uses fear as a weapon, defeating this symbol of fear becoming a symbol of protection and restating his development into hope the previous film created and protecting Gotham from this fear. ‘The batman’ was definitely my batman movie, the film you in vision when you’re playing the Arkham games or reading long Halloween it's just everything i wanted. hopefully we can see them build upon his character in the next film maybe even having a robin that actually works well, and interacts with batman as a father figure saving him from becoming what he is I don't know I'm dumb.

One of my biggest pet peeves with the Batman movies is that they really hate using CGI. I get that practical beats visual effects any day, but if you read the comics or watch the TV shows, meeting action scenes like those would require CGI, and I would be totally fine with that.

This is awesome! Keep up the great work! My personal thoughts with each movie. Batman 89: The story is all over the place. Batman doesn’t have a very interesting arc, he’s too much of a background character for his own movie. There was too many cooks in the kitchen. Jack Nicholson is good as the Joker, but he’s just too much, Michael Keaton is fantastic, but he’s not given much to do. Batman Returns: I like it better than 89, but it has similar problems. Batman is too much of a supporting character in his own movies. The Penguin is just gross lol, he’s not very threatening or intimidating, he’s just disgusting. The plot is also all over the place. Batman Forever: Jim Carrey was fun, but his Riddler is more like the Mad Hatter, and Two-face is pretty much a Joker knock off. Robin is okay, but he’s just too much of the whiny side kick. I did like how Batman was given more to do in this movie, but his arc is pretty wasted especially when you see the deleted scenes. Batman and Robin: The whole film speaks for itself haha. Batman Begins: Great film, it brings Batman back to a more serious environment. I liked the Superman 78 influences. Gets a little standard superhero flick towards the end, and Ra’s is a little wasted, but I appreciate the actual focus on Batman/Bruce. The Dark Knight: Great movie! Batman is pretty overshadowed, and Christian Bale doesn’t bring much energy to the part. Dark Knight Rises: Christian Bale is in better form, the plot is a little messy, and I think they could have handled the beginning better with Bruce Wayne’s retirement of Batman. Batman V Superman: Not a great movie. Ben Affleck is great in the role, but the character is written too much an edge lord fantasy by being a killer. It’s just lazy. The Batman: definitely my favorite Batman film. Yea it’s grounded, but it’s not ashamed of its source material. Robert Pattinson kills it in this role! Batman is psychologically unstable and scarred. He’s finally the star of his own movie.

I like Batman as well, I think I am kind of like your type (Batman) plus the man inside (The Dark Knight Trilogy) I mean like you said he could be the light Gotham needs, by being this “Darkness” but then again I love to see the man under that mask. So I have to agree and disagree at the same time that Bruce “died” in the Crime Alley, but it definitely destructed his psyche i won’t argue with that. I believe Bruce Wayne can be a light as being seeing as “Gotham’s Golden Boy” and try to make Gotham a better place with Financial resources, Donations, Charities, and such. And at the same time i believe Batman (as a character) is a symbol some fear it others have hope when they see it. Haven’t had the opportunity to watch the new movie yet, but I’ll guess will see. I completely agree with the games, they are something else because there you are the predator you can “feel” like Batman or even BE.

Very good video , keep up the good work !🦇

i can tell effort and care has been put into this so u earned a sub as motivation 🤟

I thought it was because none of them were the perfect movie Batman, even tho most of them featured the main aspects of him like: Prepared Gadgetry (West), Intimidation (Keaton), Stealth (Bale), Strength (Affleck) and Detective Work (Pattinson).

I think Affleck represented his paranoid side as well

My favorite quote and most meaningful. "BAAAAAAAAAANE!!" (flexes muscles)

Fuck a story.. We’ve seen Batman’s story countless of times, in comics, movies, animated movies and series and video games.. I want Batfleck. The most visually pleasing Batman yet. Despite whatever his “story” is, if you’re grown enough to not care that he kills people, you should agree he’s the best live action Batman we had in terms of physicality. He’s a tactical, brutal fighter who doesn’t pull his punches.

On the topic of batman's no kill loophole, there's other instances that showed how his loopholes outside of the movies was implemented better. I cant remember which Arkham game it was, i think it was origins but idk all the details, anyway joker had bombs strapped on bane or something and pinned him and batman into an inescapable fight, the only way out was that someone had to die. Batman's solution was to kill bane, which diffused bombs, then resuscitate bane through shock gloves in order to save bane. He did this because that was the best course of action, loopholes arent all bad tho they can easily be bad.

"Wooo boy, how am I gonna talk shit about Nolan Batman?" Me: *filled with such hope* "I'm not. Not really." Me: Oh...

Affleck's Batman is my batman and I've been a fan basically since birth as well in the early nineties. To each their own.

So imagine the most popular and best batman comics on screen, 50% of people won’t love it but we will as batman fans.

I’ve actually thought of a good rewrite for Batman and Robin. I’d get rid of poison ivy and just have Bane & mr. Freeze be the films antagonists. Here’s what I’d add to Banes origin. He was a criminal from Brazil who moved to Gotham, where the Batman catches him. Let’s say for some reason he’s sent back to a jail cell in Brazil, and the scientist from the movie (forgot his name) picks him up for his experiment. I’d have the scientist and Victor Freeze (mr. Freeze) know each other. Maybe they were friends in college or something. Just something to connect mr. Freeze with Bane. Just like in the film, Bane gets injected with venom and escapes. Since poison ivy is no longer in the picture, Bane kills the scientist. He then goes back to Gotham city to take revenge on Batman for putting him in that cell, where he was found by a madman to be experimented on. Along the way, he teams up with mr. Freeze, convincing him that with Batman out of the way he can save his poor wife. So, what do you think of the rewrite?

@@radrno7 Well, I took away poison ivy from my rewrite because I thought three villains were too much for the movie. Also, I wanted the movie to have two main conflicts. The conflict with Batman & Robin vs the villains, and the conflict between Batman & Robin. In the movie, Batman & Robins conflict was amplified by poison ivy’s “seductive powers”. I didn’t like that. They didn’t need ivy to push Batman & Robins conflict further. There was already a good reason for their bickering. Robin wants more admiration and doesn’t just want to be known as the sidekick. Boom! That’s all you need. Not having them fight over a woman. And yes, I know Robin comes to his senses near the end and tricks ivy, but I just think poison ivy shouldn’t have been in the movie at all. That being said, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Bane doesn’t sound half bad. It’d be a better cast for him than as Mr. Freeze.

getting rid of ivy makes the movie bad though

She's invested in winning freeze because he doesn't react to her pheromone powers the way any other male would. He's already tied; so she misinterprets his "chill" resistence as needing to get Mrs. Freeze out the door, so she can have what she wants. (You always want what you can't have, because you can't have it) It's a pride point as well, because she wants to prove her powers will work on him, and that without that influence she believes is allowing him to resist (barring the soft science if you apply his physiological difference) she would win him. Which would also get her the type of love she wants, that she is innately jealous of. He's loyal to the point of commiting all monsterous deeds and accidentally mutating himself, just to save his wife. It's less Poison Ivy, and more Poisoned by Envy. With the Nolan Trilogy, I think you hit on a point; I also think you're missing one. You see Batman as the "real" Bruce Wayne. So does he. Because he NEEDS that division. He wants Bruce Wayne separate from the chaos that caused Batman to exist. The key is: They ARE the same person. He's compelling because of that duality. He's a pschological case study in balance, because of that flipped coin that makes him a perfect mirror, inverse of Harvey. He matches Joker as well as he does for a foil (particularly when you account for one of the versions of Joker's history being Jack Napier as the Red Hood and made into Joker by raw accident by the Batman during his earliest adventures before he became the symbol he now is) It's the argument for Clark too. Superman is what I can do; Clark Kent is who I am... well, what you can do is as much who you are too. The reason Rachel was Harvey's fiancee in that movie at all was because she knew Bruce was never going to stop being the Batman. It was ingrained at that point. It was part of him, and she wasn't willing to see that side. Which is why she slapped him (which I highly disagree with, since she didn't know about his other life, and only began to see how damned wrong she was just before she died) Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Batman is Bruce Wayne. The two are not divisible. You need both to magnetize as far as a truly compelling story. I think your problem is the Nolan features didn't balance both characters. That's probably more down to collateral pay outs, and raw cash involved in filming the super hero scenes as Batman. Christian Bale playing Bruce is a lot less costly. On the actors involved and the budget as well. Even if a fair few would argue it less compelling.

Val Kilmer and especially George Clooney's Batman felt like Adam West's Batman brought into the 90s.

Loved Batman ever since I saw TAS as a kid. Watched Batman beyond and The Batman '04. Never really into the comics or videogames til I was older, funny enough. I got to experience the dark knight and tdk rises during their prime and loved Christian Bales version. When Ben was announced, I told myself to just wait and see how his version would be and I was hooked. Yeah he killed but it made sense for his version. Dissapointed we didn't get more of his Batman. I did the same for Robert and I was just absolutely blown away and mesmerized by his portrayal. In short, I love all version of the B-man. Thats what makes me such a big fan, he has thousands of different versions that are badass in their own way.

Really high quality stuff for such an underrated channel, you've earned yourself a sub!

At least you aknowledge that it's your personal problems more than the movies itself. But there're still things missing because of personal biases. -The classic "no killing rule" in TDK trilogy is deconstructed. The movies aknowledge that it's practically impossible in the real world with real problems to hold on to that ideal. When killing Ra's, Bruce understood that in some degree it was neccesary. But in the sequel, he fully accepts that (because yes, Batman kinda goes free of guilt with the "no killing, but no saving") and kills Harvey undestanding how people sometimes need these lies to beliefe, which TDKR (Nolan) also confronts that idea when at the end, Bruce has to lie about his death to be the hero Gotham wanted Batman to be. -About BvS, I don't know how people can't undestand that it's supposed to be "what Batman should never be" (even though having a "definitve version of a character" seems kinda... childish and restricting artistically tbh) and how it's also a hopeful answer to the Batman explanation of no killing in Under The Red Hood when even though "going down into that place" he could come back. -And btw, what you said of The Batman about his no regard for his own life. That's actually the central conflict of Batman in TDKR (Nolan). I also have personal opinions about this things and personal preferences, but because of those biases you missed an important thing (if not the most important thing of TDK trilogy) regarding his exploration of the classic Batman character.

In regards to BvS and ZSJL, I wanna add that what I especially like is how it establishes Superman as Batman's beacon of hope and reason to have faith in good (or justice) no matter how bad the world gets and how far you fall, you can still be heroic (another thing I guess was too subtle is that Dick Grayson being the Robin that is killed makes Bruce have the knee jerk reaction that his 'code' failed because his successor died trying to live by it, so him being older and more bitter makes him totally not care about his code)

I suspect they would have cleared that up in the (*edit*Jared Leto) Joker movie that was supposed to happen but... yeah. As for the Knightmare, if I remember correctly, the reason Batman didn't kill Joker is because he knows the location of a Motherbox that they'll use to build the cosmic treadmill for Flash to jump back in time (that "am I too soon" scene in BvS being an instance that they messed it up) another reason I heard was that he helped them get weapons, but I might be wrong on that one

Fully agree Mr smart. Batman has always been my favourite character in fiction, loved the comics, animated shows/movies, games etc. I did enjoy batman begins, dark knight and batman 1989, but they all pale in comparison to the aforementioned sources. The Nolan movies tried to be too "realistic" and thus never really felt like they actually existed in Gotham city. More like a generic new York city or something. Heck, even arkham origins is a better batman representation than the movies. Was going to give the new batman movie a miss, but I'll give it a shot now.

The Batman was actually about Batman unlike the other movies. I've been preaching it the last few days. The other movies were about Bruce. It's nice for Bruce to not give a shit about Bruce and totally focus on Batman. Bruce Wayne is definitely the mask

WOW good job at 100 subs!!!

My only issue with the movies are that a lot of them features Joker as the main villain.(and sometimes the ONLY villain in the movie.)

Hope they give this director some time for the next one. As well as continuing on having good writers on his side.

Tbh I agree with the points you bring to attention, they even seem more like facts than an opinion (to me at least).

Idk how to explain myself. But yea, great vid! The Arkham games are fantastic, they explore more the Batman than Bruce.

Good video. As a Batman fan myself, I'm quite forgiving of Batman's involvement in the deaths of Ras, Harvey and Talia because it answers the question: What would it take for Batman to kill or let someone die? It's not quite as black and white when you realise how high the stakes at hand were in the case of these three villains in particular. Ras was the head of something far worse than a criminal organisation, and prison would never have held him given how much power, influence and skill the League of Shadows possessed in the art of infiltration and subversion. Harvey Dent's reputation as Gotham's White Knight was completely ruined when he decided to take his revenge, and remaining alive would have proceeded to him standing trial and going to prison for his crimes which would have meant that all hope would have been lost in Gotham. As for Talia, well, she was transporting a nuke that was bound to go off at any minute, taking Gotham with it if it did. As for Batfleck straight up gunning down low-level thugs in BvS, so that he could unnecessarily chase a transport truck he had already successfully placed a tracker on, that's a whole different story.

Literally bro, the Arkham games are the way I see Batman as well. Glad someone agrees.

My problem with those movies is they never want to have them exist in a world of meta humans they keep grounding them in realism instead of bringing in the supernatural and they never want to do with batfamily properly

Batman had to kill Harvey Dent or else Harvey would have killed Jim Gordon’s son.

The batman has the perfect atmosphere tbh , inbetween the too real dark knight , and the fantasyishness of 1989

I think it all boils down to each generation and the Batman movie that comes from it - the next Batman franchise in 2035 will by my kid’s “Batman” movie I’m sure…and I’ll be defending the DK and DKR as the best 😂

I find the whole "bruce is dead there is only batman" thing overdone, it would be way more interesting if both personas were real and batmans true persona being a hybrid of the 2
