My guess on the raspy voice is that Bruce Wayne is trying to keep his voice anonymous. He's one of the most famous people in the world so it makes sense to try and disguise his voice a little. Or Christian Bale dun goofed
Y2Kmoses Why not use a voice changer? If an average smoker can get an Electrolarynx then I'm pretty sure Batman could get one.
Everyone probably wanted to feel a voice at Conroy's standards is prolly why.
***** True. But I think a voice changer device would be hard to implement into the costume considering it would have to cover his mouth. And completely silence his regular voice. edit: And im not trying to say the voice isn't stupid and ridiculous I'm just trying to figure out why it would be used.
The comics make a better a explanation (and don't say it's dumb cuz it's a comic and not a movie)Bruce fakes his public voice because to him Bruce Wayne is just the mask and Batman is who he is. He uses his more moderate calm but yet intimating voice.
+Y2Kmoses God dammit I just commented that why do people always comment what I'm about to comment and get a bunch of likes!!
The thing about practical effects is that it takes way longer for them to get dated. CG can become insanely dated in a few years but the practical effects and puppets in the original star wars still look great.
Right? There's just something so great about seeing a tangible object in a movie; almost as though our brains are able to perceive an object as being real; makes more sense why so many horror films I grew up watching scared me to such a degree
JakeTakesTheCakes Mad Mad: Fury Road will never be dates because of all the practical stuff
When you actually flip a truck it's not really going to become dated, the original Star Wars looks like toys that are filmed up close. You talk about it like if they nailed realism in CG tomorrow it would somehow look worse in 5 years, like a dented can of soup.
JakeTakesTheCakes If done right, practical effects never look dated cause reality can't look fake. When I first watched Captain America Civil War, I was like damn the effects are oscar worthy. Then I watched in 4k and the CGI looked like it belonged in Toy Story 1 during lots of scenes.
This is why 2001 a space odyssey still looks real after fifty years
So spot on when talking about TDKR. Everyone loved it when it came out and then the Internet hated it over time. So dumb.
All I know is my theater cried when Alfred broke down saying he failed Bruce and gave the movie a standing ovation when it ended. It's not perfect, but it is a fitting conclusion.
It's not perfect but it's not bad
^most reviews, *please clap*
@@xtzyshuadog Fuck-off with your dated Jeb meme. That's not how you do a call back.
I think the dark knight rises is an A plus
2 years late but he never cried for failing bruce.. he turned to thomas and martha and said he failed them for letting bruce die.
BB = 8/10
TDK = 10/10
TDKR = 9/10
The Dark Knight trilogy is a perfect example of what movies can look like when they have actual care put into them. Christopher Nolan directed, wrote, and produced the trilogy. They are his vision, and they are made exactly to his designs. And for all their flaws and problems, they’re easily some of the best superhero movies of all time. The Dark Knight is even my personal favorite superhero movie ever. Why? Because it’s not some studio product made solely to make money. Nolan cared about what he was making, and it shows. The cinematography, the screenplay, the acting (even Bale’s Batman voice has its charm), the set designs, the use of practical effects, the music (though in all fairness, has Hans Zimmer ever let us down?). These movies aren’t products like Suicide Squad and Justice League, and even some Marvel films like Age of Ultron. The Dark Knight trilogy is flawed, but its successes greatly outweigh them. Nolan had a vision, and what emerged from it was what is, in my opinion, not only the best DC movie, but the best superhero movie ever made, as well as one of the best trilogies. Nolan, Bale and Zimmer made something special, and it shines as an example of what the current DCEU can only dream of surpassing.
Agreed
this and sam raimi's spider-man trilogy and logan,the holy trinity.
Fun Fact: in the comics, Bane is actually the first of the Batman villians to figure out that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Bane just connects a few dots and is like "Fuck it, he's Batman."
Skugg Well, isn't Bane hyper intelligent?
Skugg Me too
Ra'as Al Ghul and Hugo Strange figured out who Batman was years before Bane was even introduced
Honestly, it was pretty simple. Didn't take a genius to figure it out.
He also ended up breaking Batman's back.
This trilogy has a lot of plot holes, but it's also very good at making you overlook the plot holes.
For a superhero trilogy it actually has fairly little plotholes. But people actually care about the plot with these movies.
Austin Zolo the only plot holes i can see are in the 3rd one
+david moore Yep. There's a few holes in TDK thought.
Unlike Days of Future Past.
Christopher H Every single film has plot holes. Even Citizen Kane has plot holes. But we overlook those because the movie is great. Thats the whole point.
Am i the only one that loves the bale batman voice?

Note about batman begins: he actually couldn't move his head without moving his body until dark knight.
Yeah tru, i feel bad for bruce
Old post but there is actually a line where he mentions that "I want to turn my head" or something alone those lines
@@TheCrocodileKing Yeah. It's mentioned in The Dark Knight when Fox is giving Bruce his new suit
dang. I was just re-watching it the other day and in spite of the many things I love about the film, I felt like something small was goofy, or off
Am I the only one who doesn't really mind the bale Batman voice? It doesn't annoy me as much as it seems to annoy other people, I don't know why
I like it, but I love it even more in the sequels where there is an added layer of distortion (that even creeps its way into Gordon's dialogue in the vault scene!)
I liked it, but I can also see why people think it sounds stupid, but I think it was a bit more realistic, so he wouldn't have the same voice as one of the most popular persons in Gotham.
Da Pumaface count me in fuck ben affleck at least the voice isnt the worst thing ever
Edited: 1/14/20 actually Ben's version was fine but BVS was an utter dower disaster.
It's weird that while I find it kind of funny and stupid, it's so iconic that I never fail to appreciate it.
Da Pumaface I feel like it has its moments, on the whole I like it, for instance that SWEAR TO ME scene is made by that voice, but like at the end of the Dark Knight when their trying to talk Harvey down he sound a little ridiculously in character, probably should’ve toned it down. It’s kind of all over the place but mostly I like it.
I have a feeling no one will see this, but I want to point out something that makes the Joker's character even better. Ralph points out when he flips the coin for his life with Harvey Dent and says Joker could've died right here, but if you look closely at the Joker's hand placement on the gun, he has his fingers covering the hammer of the gun. Even if it was decided that the Joker would die, Harvey would not be able to pull the trigger.
honestly that adds a whole other layer for me. It would've been cool if Joker didn't care if he died then and there. But on the other hand, how much of what Joker said to dent was just BS to make him fucking lose it? Afterall the joker's been shown to just straight up lie about his background and intentions when it suits him in this movie. It just goes to show how smart the joker himself is
Everyone knows that.
His fingers weren't on the hammer and he wasn't trying to prevent his death. His entire goal was to bring down Harvey to break the people of Gotham. If he died right there he would've won immediately. Harvey would've killed him and people would've found out and that's what the Joker wanted. So it would've been completely pointless for him to hold the hammer. Also if you look again, from a certain angle it may look like it but he's not holding the hammer I promise you.
I actually loved Snyder’s idea of Batman using a voice modulator. I think the point of Bale’s grunting was that someone would probably recognize world famous playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne’s voice, especially in the city he lives in and loves, and it adds to the demonic presence batman is supposed to have. It was a good and interesting character design choice that added to the mythos.
That's about the only good thing about that Batman

Thank you for not shitting on The Dark Knight Rises. It's so refreshing to not see people nitpicking the 3rd film of the Nolan trilogy. It was a satisfying conclusion to a great series.
I remember going to the theaters to see TDK and the lines were so long and everyone was so pumped. It was like The phantom menace except when people walked out, it wasn't silent like a funeral, everyone loved it! Such an experience.
The reason the action scene at the docks is filmed like that is explained by christopher nolan. he basically said the bad guys don't know what the fuck is going on so he wanted the audience to feel the same way
@Double_Baked That's probably the most believable reason, but even then. Whenever Batman fights the Red Triangle Gang in Returns, that fight seemed pretty convincing to me
I always thought that batman moves like a shadow, like ninjas do
And of course you can't do that but at least with those quick cuts it creates a similar effect
That's fucking stupid ngl
@@bezglavigekoofficial7649 it isn't
@@elmaionesosexo It is. You can't excuse shitty choreography or shitty directing by saying it's intentional. You can still make Batman feel good at fighting without shaking your camera like a spaz and some of the fights in general were terrible. Like fights with Bane, especially the first one, were embarrassing
This is quite refreshing finally running into a video that you enjoy something. Your videos had improved a lot over these few years. Fantastic.

My ranking of these movies is
3: Batman Begins
2: The Dark Knight Rises
1: The Dark Knight
same
Rises gets so much hate just because of its predecessor. It’s the return of the Jedi to the empire strikes back. It’s still a masterpiece.
Here's mine:
1. The Dark Knight 9/10
2. Batman Begins 7/10
3. The Dark Knight Rises 4/10
The most interesting thing about why the Dark Knight works is it also explains why something like MoS or BvS _doesn't_ work.
They tried to adapt darkness and grit to Superman. On the face of it, that doesn't seem like a big deal. What the real problem is with those fucking movies is that all they ever do is mention ideas and concepts, but never reinforce them thematically.
For example, In the Dark Knight, Bruce's actions are constantly questioned by Alfred. How is this reinforced thematically? By Bruce having difficulty managing both of his lives, which eventually catches up with him and results in someone's death, or puts him in a really tight spot. Him pulling through is added drama. How about when Joker says civilized people would turn on each other when shit gets bad? How is this reinforced thematically? By having people try to kill that reporter and stop the Joker from blowing up the hospital, and also don't forget the conflict on the boat where everyone almost blows each other up.
In BvS, Ma Kent says Superman owes the world nothing. How is this reinforced? It isn't. He tries to save them while also carelessly destroying half the city. Every line of dialogue by Lex Luther has no thematic reinforcement, it's just lines spoken for the sake of sounding cool or interesting (and also to shove Jesus imagery). To MoS' credit, it is more thematically sound than BvS, so I'll leave it alone.
DrTheKay explain what?
DrTheKay please don't tell me you actually liked man of steel
MoS?
Subscribed for finding you here, Mr. Forgotten Weapons commentator.
So what you're saying is other movies fail because they merely adopted the dark, while the Nolan movies were born in it, molded by it?
My opinion on TDKR is very similar. It's not perfect, but I honestly love the movie. It's a great way to conclude the trilogy. It's sorta like return of the jedi in that sense.
What! Return of the Jedi! Spider-Man 3 is like return of the Jedi because they are both disappointments
Without the Ewoks
@@thebatddvideogamefan6460 I wouldn't compare spiderman 3 to return of the Jedi, Return of the Jedi is still good even though there are certain scenes that kind of bogged the movie down
Return of the Jedi is still better than TDKR and I don't even like it that much. TDKR is simply PAINFULLY MEDIOCRE. At least Spider-Man 3 is entertaining

Disagree slightly with the first batman fight; it was intentionally shaky and obstructive so you can't see batman until the dramatic "I'm batman" reveal
You can still cover him without shaky cam. You can make him so type of weird black shadow moving around, not shaking the camera like crazy.
It's not even that fucking bad!
Fun fact. That scene isn't actually shaky. There's quite a lot of, not-very-good action scenes in Batman Begins but I think that scene works.
Mayonnaise Lobster The camera isn't even shaking!
Whoah now, buddy, he's just giving a counter-point to yours, no need to get so defensive because of a dissenting opinion. Must be new to the CZcamss, my boy
4:51. No. I thought "Nolan is filming this scene as though the camera is one of the bad guys. This is what they're seeing. They have no idea what is going on. This is what it's like to be ambushed by Batman after he's spent a couple minutes terrorizing you in the shadows to the point where you're scared shitless".
It's about the only action scene where it makes sense you can't see what's going on. It's interesting as well how there's constantly fast horizontal camera movement to the left, it's not exactly "messy". A lot of other scenes just aren't good though.
But why shoot it that way anyway?
Lolster He just said
Yeah it's a really great way of adapting how comic books portray these types of scenes
You can still do shaky cam without it looking like complete shit.
15:41 damn Optimus prime is really going through a rough patch in life.
I was watching Dark Knight and my friend pointed out that in the scene where the Joker gives Harvey Dent a gun the Joker is holding down the hammer so even if Harvey pulled the trigger it wouldn't have fired
I can't believe one of the writers for Batman v Superman worked on these movies. What happened?!
Simple the Nolan Bro's left.
***** Damn shame.
Probably wrote the action sequences
Well M. Night Shamalayn (hope I didn’t butcher his last name) directed Sixth Sense but then directed The Last Airbender.
So this isn’t the first time this happened.

I noticed it the first time I saw TDK in theaters, and I can still watch these movies without noticing because they're so engrossing to me. However, I do agree that it is just dumb.
There's a reason for it since not everything was shot in that aspect ratio. But from an artistic view it's just silly.
PauLtus B it's too bad Chris will always shoot on film, because NO MOVIE EVER has been shot fully in IMAX. It's that hard to do
Quan Do
"it's too bad Chris will always shoot on film"
What? Film looks a lot better.
And I think he would shoot everything on IMAX if he could.
Shooting on film looks better than digital, but to shoot everything in IMAX is so hard. Avengers Infinity War will be the first todo so, and its a 2018 movie. TDKR is 2012. Plus during filming of both TDK and TDKR they broke one IMAX camera when there were only 4 available xD

Ralph’s sound quality changes like Nolan’s aspect ratio
Time to binge this trilogy again
On your remark about the Joker doing shit randomly...well, that's the point of him. His entire character revolves around doing random unpredictable things for "teh lolz" if you will, he's all about causing chaos, destruction, anarchy, and mayhem for a few laughs. You see it in the comics, you see it in the Batman TAS cartoon, and you even see it in Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the character in the Michael Keaton Batman movie. It's because of his unpredictable and homicidal nature that makes him one of the most feared, if not, the most feared villain in the DC universe.
Joker literally has a plan in the movie, he admits it at the end: his Ace in the hole to break Gotham is Harvey Dent. He also has a goal in the movie: breaking Gotham and showing how the system and it’s people are rotten, but he’s proven wrong.
@@Martin-tz4kz
Well, it's a bit of both really. He has a vague goal and just wings it all the way there.
Another great video Ralph. so happy u called out annoying fanboys who complain if its not true to comics! Like you said before, if the movie's quality who cares what the director varies from in the comics. Thanks for the nod as well in the credits. Can't wait to see part 4 since u covered basically all the movies
“Christopher Nolan isn’t a good action director.” Cough* Cough* Dunkirk Cough* Cough*
He didn't used to be good but then he Improved at a godly rate and now he's a God at everything
It was awful
Dunkirk is not a action movie tho
There is good action within the film, though
Dunkirk isn't a action movie, BUT it has a few good action scenes.
*_The Dark Knight is a legend._*
You all know that Bale kept the Batman voice the same in all three movies right? For TDK and TDKR his voiced was edited to sound darker in post. Don't blame the actor, blame those responsible for the change in post.
Jared Wignall makes sense because I wasn't bothered by it in Begins. The Dark Knight once I got DVD I watched it with subtitles to get what he was saying

Unkn0wnZ nah rises is slightly better than Batman begins
Rises would have been better than Begins if not for all the shitty little things at the end
Rises was fucking awful lol. The plot was just nonsense.
As amazing as Heath Ledger was as the Joker (R.I.P.), Aaron Eckhart's performance was overshadowed
I mean literally every performance in superhero film history is overshadowed by Heath Ledger's. Aaron Eckhart's performance is nothing to scoff at, in fact I'd argue it's nothing less than incredible, particularly after becoming a villain. The scenes with him in the hospital are so impactful IMO. It's been a while since I'd last watched The Dark Knight and those scenes are still vividly sticking in my memory.

I don't understand why people hate The Dark Knight Rises, yeah it has tons of plot holes and sometimes feels like a rehash of Batman Begins, but I think it did and amazing job presenting the feeling that all hope is lost after Bane takes over, and it made me feel for the characters and hope that Bruce Wayne rises and takes back Gotham, I still like the Dark Knight more and this is my opinion, but I just don't get the hate behind the Dark Knight Rises.
It was basically TDK 2.0 with a not so good script. BB is much better as a movie.

True. It's fucking hilarious how Ralph is willing to overlook the dozens of plot holes in this trilogy, yet berate Zack Snyder's DC films as if they're the worst thing ever.
I think Batman’s voice in Batman begins sounded intimidating. The other ones made him sound like he was out of breath.
I agree & I would be better if Christian Bale's Batman use his calm voice from the scene between him & Rachel at the Batcave.
That awkward moment when ant-man is actually better then avengers 2
By far. :P
Yes, I do agree with you for one thing, Ralph: _TDKR_ wasn't *that* bad. They treat it like it's _Spider-Man_ _3_ all over again.But whatever, the story and characters were engaging enough for me to not give a damn about the inconsistencies and plot-holes.
The Dark knight rises I thought was the best of the trilogy.
@@MarkyMatey me too
The first one seemed more comic-like. He tried a buncha things in it and then refined what worked and scrapped what didn't.
Edit to add - the lighting at 14:30 with two-face. So good
Ralph, I fucking love you. Your reviews really show that you know A LOT about filmmaking and the passion you have for it (just like I do, cheers!). However, I would love to hear more about the stuff you love about The Dark Knigh for example. I agree with you, it's one of the best movies ever made, and I would love to hear you break down a specific scene (apart from the amazing action scene you described thoroughly).
This review is (in my opinion) more about proving the haters wrong than it is about WHY you love it so much. I am more interested in the stuff that makes this movie truly great as opposed to why it isn't bad. I've had discussions (more like conversations) with my friends that lasted hours why a particular scene is so amazing. The editing, music, direction, dialogue and cinematography is so fantastic that I could talk about it for hours (especially the editing, it's so damn good).
My main point is: you don't have to explain to people who don't like is why it's not bad. I think I speak for a lot of people that watch your videos we want wo know why you like it so much. Just a thought.
Regardless, great stuff man! I'm a huge fan of your videos and I hope you'll be making more in the years to come. Cheers!
TDKT is an A-level trilogy, my favorite of all time!
BB: A | TDK: A+ | TDKR: A-
That combination of realism and romanticism with dark undertones and large scale archecture is called gothic. As in Gotham. Gothic literature was as a result of the increasing disdain for romantic, fate driven literature during the enlightenment. It was regarded as pop lit because while gothic lit was realistic and often scientifically plausible, it had elements of romantic fantasy that the common man enjoyed reading about. Nolan's Batman trilogy continues this same tradition as a similar reaction to the previous Batman movies which were romantic with little regard for logic and reason. At least one of the writers was an English lit major and knew what they were doing haha.
20:13 The way Joker's holding the gun would prevent it from being fired, he was in control the entire time. ;)
11:55 And so the masterpiece begins
You CAN have a movie mostly rely on action. If you're the director of the Raid.
PauLtus B crank 2, hardcore henry. The ones that work are rare though and quite unusual
Every super hero can be handled in a realistic way if its handled correctly , earth one superman and batman for example.
Jesse Redfield I can understand adding realistic contexts like Ironman 1 the dealing of weapons under the table and Iron Man 3 the villains we see on news are just a masquerade but these are still just comic book films so they can be realistic, yes you can add realistic contexts but you cant make it real and this is what the dark knight trilogy did
***** bro... I just saw this now but basically Clark kinda just wants to stay on the farm to help his mom , but she tells him no go do something , so he goes to metrapolis then aliens come try to take over earth and that forces him to become superman , a lot like man of steel but I find it better. Its a lot better than how I just halfassly described it
+Jesse Redfield Oh no batman earth one is pretty funny to me
The Joker is terrifying in this movie. I’ve been through a few combat deployment as an Infantryman, but that scene of him filming the fake Batman with video camera makes me somewhat like a scared child. I mean I was actually scared for a character I knew nothing about, like watching one of those repugnant real beheading videos.
Loved this video, this trilogy is so unique and a great example of how amazing film can be. I personally love batman begins, I never really noticed the action lacking but looking back now I can notice Nolan stepped it up in the next two films.
I’m going to have to rewatch them all now 🙂
liked for complaining about the aspect ratio changes
I just wanna know why they made Bane a white dude and not a Mexican Luchador.
Bane has never been a "mexican luchador"
Spencer Malley He wasn't a luchador, I was referring to his suit design, and he's definitely Mexican.
Col. Gob Knobbler He comes from a fictional country and he's usually drawn as caucasian
Spencer Malley Then why would they have him be voiced by Spanish/Mexican people?
Col. Gob Knobbler It doesn't fucking matter
Cristopher Nolan is my absolute favourite director. He does his job very well. His films feel like they have heart and soul! The Dark Knight is my favourite movie and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I watch it at least 5 times a month and it never gets old!!!
Thank you jesus and Chris nolan and everyone involved with making the trilogy. Really cool films.
Your thoughts on TDKR are pretty much mine on Man of Steel. I still love it, flaws and all.
@16:30 - To be fair, that's kind of the whole point of the Joker, at least to me. In my interpretation, there is no planning apart from whatever plot he's executing at the moment. He plans battles, not wars. That's the scary thing about the Joker. He has no real direction. He has no real goal. There's not really a way to make solid predictions of his actions, because he doesn't have an endgame. He creates chaos. That's it.
That's the scariest kind of villain: the kind you can't reason with. He's the opposite of a James Bond villain. He's not going to tell the hero his master plan before he pulls the trigger because there isn't one. He's not going to bide his time and listen to you beg for mercy because he doesn't care. Lives are expendable. Things that happen happen. Things that will happen, he has no plans to stop.
He's an intimidating villain because he's less of a man with something to prove or accomplish, and more a force of nature. When shit goes down, there's no stopping it. You can't beg a tornado to spare your home and family. The Joker is a tornado.
The reason the warehouse scene is so flashy is actually on purpose. They wanted it to be hard to see batman until he pulls dude from the car and reveals himself. If you notice they actually only show the flutter of the cape. Like when you see a real bat fly over you in real life at night.
It wasnt shot like that to hide the lack if skill like with movies like "taken"
The behind the scenes explains that specific camera angle. And its purely an artistic take to try and make you feel how the villians would. "Where aaaare yooou?!"
Get it?
i mean sure but it looks like shit lmao 😅 if that scene only utilized shadow and framing to make it hard to see it would be better, but the shaking and quick cutting is unnecessary and its ugly
Been binge watching your videos for two days now, they're great.
the only thing about the dark knight rises i disliked was the way they killed off bane so quickly and like how because of that everything he was trying to do was for nothing. it's such a simple death of being hit by catwoman's bike after this man is apparently fucking super strengthed
If he likes The Dark Knight Trilogy I wonder How He'll feel about the Joker Movie?
Edited 8 months later:
Yeah this didn't age well
lol
@@Zero-zf1uo Yeah this comment didnt age well XD
It aged well enough, that review is now unlisted.
I watched the whole trilogy in one day while i was sick. The stories piece together well.
This is one of my favorite videos on the site.
I didn't like The Dark Knight Rises. It's not because I'm a fanboy; in fact, I neither read comic books, nor am I that invested in Batman-lore. I just felt this movie was an afterthought in many ways. After the spectacular The Dark Knight, I had trouble knowing where they would go afterwards... and the direction they went with was very underwhelming. Not only was it a superfluous sequel, but it was also a very hollow sequel; it was as if Nolan spent all his "clever subtext"-points on The Dark Knight, and thus had almost nothing to base the third movie on.
I mean Nolan always created each film as a self-contained work, and I can give him credit for that.
My main problem with rises is the ending, in my opinion the hallmark ending of Bruce Wayne living a normal life defeats the whole purpose of the trilogy and ruins the most interesting part of the character
+1memer How did it defeat the purpose of the trilogy? It was set up since the beginning that he wouldn't be Batman forever, that he would only be Batman for as long as he needs to. Heck he spends a good chuck of TDK preparing for his retirement.
Thomas Jiang No, because during TDK he realizes that he can never be with Rachel because Gotham will need him forever
1memer That's not at all what he learns in TDK, he intended to be with Rachel till the day she died. What he learns in TDK is to compromise. Literally, one of the film's last lines is "He's the hero that Gotham deserves, *but not the one it needs.*" He'll always want to protect Gotham's best interest, but he won't always be the solution because his existence has consequences.
Thomas Jiang Nah, the "deserves/needs" quote specifically refers to the fact that Batman is the best thing for Gotham, but that it needs the symbol of what Harvey Dent stood for even if Batman takes the fall for it.
Offtopic, what I find most compelling about that one (the best of the trilogy without a doubt) is that Harvey Dent isn't really the "white knight" Gotham sees him as, in reality Batman is the ultimate force for good. The movie is called the Dark Knight in reference to this, he operates outside the law and is often hated or discarded by the people of Gotham but is incorruptible and the only true justice.
Batman Begins is my favourite instalment, even if some of the fight scenes were a bit janky.
I concur about Rises is not given enough credit and is going to age better than the overrated Wonder Woman (the best out of a bad bunch of DC movies made since then).
BvS has aged better than Wonder Woman
waiting for people to finally come around and appreciate how fucking funny batman and robin was
When Nolan & Ledger decided to make the Joker a horror-like character, it blew my mind, all the way over to the moon. Like when he made Batman a horror like character in that docks scene in Begins.
Wish you would have talked more about the most important character: CIA. Biggest character out there.
"9:32 Eso hombre murciélago es muy listo"
Bane 2019
2:07 holy lol, your editing here is perfect.
One of the coolest thing is during the shot with the joker and Harvey dent. The joker is actually holding the hammer back so he can’t die
Maybe I'm reaching, but I always thought that when it goes from day to night in TDKR, it was a stylistic choice. You know, Batman comes back, Batman is the night, night falls when he returns. Whatever
TRdutch nah. They just wanted you to see all the police extras they got for that fucking terrible finale fight
Darran Kern this comment makes no sense
TRdutch Oh you're talking about the stupid stock market robbery, not the retarded final confrontation where batman charges bane head on in broad daylight like a fucking downsyndrome patient.
Darran Kern I think someone needs a time out
Dude what else would he have done to the guy with hundreds of other people in a city with people in it while having a non-negotiable villain at the helms. Also please don't hurt me.
Wtf happened to the audio after the Bane gag
Ralph isn't great with audio/ sound in his video
That was great man it was really entertaining I enjoyed that a lot.
One gripe I have only one, is when you said the dark knight has a loose plot and the joker does whatever he wants, that’s the brilliance of that character. The joker himself says he’s an agent of chaos, he doesn’t have a plan and actually despises plans or the so called “schemers” he is unpredictable and has no real plan just wants to watch the world burn. So the crazy outcomes of the actions he makes enhances the movie and makes it even more thrilling.
I love this trilogy.
Well at least you enjoy "The Dark Knight Trilogy," but here are my thoughts:
Batman Begins:
It's an excellent film. Not as amazing what they think (for the Nolan fanboys for themselves), but it was a good reboot since I remember watching after I am done in high school. The characters were good including great performances by Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Tom Wilkinson, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy and they're all quite memorable. Christian Bale did an excellent job of portraying as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and his style or ego rich billionaire is kind of interesting and his non-superhero style is kind of cool. Well for his voice is too cartoonish for most of. The story is fascinating, and it updated much better because it's more of a real origin story of Batman that we never get to see. It follows genuinely like other Batman comics, and some had many differences like make it real and it has some stylistic moments. The tone is pretty good, and I quite enjoy the mood that keeps it quiet, and it's much different for most 00's moviegoers. One downside is the action is too sloppy, and the editing is weird sometimes, but it started just early so what do you want me to say? Bottom line, an excellent Batman film.
The Dark Knight:
Perfect Batman film. So perfect movie and it will be remembered like that. The characters are so fantastic including most cast in this film, Christian Bale updated much better (well the voice is still cartoonish), Heath Ledger as Joker is a classic villain and his reputation of being a Joker changed everything in his legacy after his death. The story was fantastic, and I love how they manage this movie into a quick paste of a perfect action sequence because Nolan accepts his new challenge of filmmaking. The emotion is dark, vengeful, sad, exciting, and very fun roller coaster ride. My favorite film of all time and while this may be the classic movie, but it's a superhero masterpiece.
The Dark Knight Rises:
It's great finale movie and a little as it gets. Christian Bale is in, and I love him in his best appearance in the motorcycle chase scene, and it's great to see him back instead of being a bum man after 8 years in this movie. The characters were so real and great all-star cast like Tom Hardy as a cool Bane villain and Anne Hathaway as black furry femme fatale Catwoman. The emotion scenes were so good, the cinematography is fantastic, the realistic setting is perfect as always like "The Dark Knight" did, and the action scenes were good. The story is pretty good, and some were a bunch of plot points that didn't have much potential that should've been a real climax, but not much as nitpicking and I can enjoy what is trying to tell about the purpose of this movie. Great film.
The Dark Knight, simply the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen.
In the hospital with Dent Joker had his thumb on the hammer. Even if Dent pulled the trigger he wouldn’t have been shot.
Joker is constantly in control.
The only moment he isn’t is the final social twist where the convicts and citizens don’t kill each other.
Which he still has control over because of his back up plan. He’s just irritated with the people.
Joker is an unreliable narrator, that shows in his origin stories where he lies about it constantly to invoke fear in his victims.
So he is obviously lying to Dent when he says he’s a dog chasing tires.
