      I don't mind having progressive messaging in superhero movies, tv shows, video games or comics, just make sure still focus on making sure the superhero characters are saving lives and protecting people from evil. Also, make the sure the stories are good with well-developed characters, great writing, great action scenes, great CGI and practical effects, great cinematography and a well written climax.

    The reason Riddler flooded the city was because something that was established throughout the movie was he wanted attention. He didn’t actually really care about the orphanage, he just wanted attention. For example all the info he had on the politician’s if he really cared he would’ve given the evidence to the authorities rather than doing it himself. And he thought he would never be forgotten for flooding the city but that’s changed when Batman says he will be forgotten and Gotham will rebuild.

    Actually in Batman Begins he does change his voice a lot depending on who he’s talking to. Like when he talks to Rachel in the cave, he uses a soft spoken almost Kevin Conroy voice. Then with Flass, he uses a full growl monster voice, and in other interactions it’s a mix of both.

    Personally I heavily disagree with the whole "Batman's parents are secretly corrupt or flawed individuals who were killed for that reason rather than simply bad luck." I always liked the fact that Bruce's parents were legitimately good people who were sadly gunned down by one of the people they were trying to help. What's more the fact it wasn't planned but a simple random accident also helps explain Bruce's motivation.
    He wants to ensure no one ever goes through what he did, namely a completely random, unplanned mugging. Having his parents be corrupt people killed by some person for that exact reason is obviously not something other people can relate to and obviously not something that happens on a regular basis.

In the second film, more villains could show such as Mr. Freeze, Two Face, and I really hope Scarecrow, and when they're defeated by Batman and sent to Arkham, the Joker, with possibly the Riddler's help, manipulates the villains into waiting for the right time to take over Arkham, and if this will be a trilogy, more villains could come and in the end, all the villains could take over Arkham and Batman will have to stop them with some help by either Catwoman, Robin or both.

    This might be my favorite versus you had ever done for a trio of films, and you highlight something these 3 films have that is worth all the praise they all get, the use of great MUSIC, Cinematography and practical effects and costumes, is defined something have been lost in modern blockbusters, and I'm so happy Tim Burton, Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves understand this so well (Tim obviously for the time but still counts), Batman films always have this level of care and I'm so happy this is still retain. I love the 3, but as you say, Batman Begins is the more complete of the 3, but The Batman came very close and I love Robet Pattison as Batman, he is so far the best BATMAN when it comes to the mask persona.....still Christian Bale is my overall favorite Batman/Bruce Wayne, he did such and incredible work as both Batman and Bruce, and Michael Keaton is unique, but still his Batman interpretation to this day is iconic and I love that costume.

      Batman is only truly put to his final test when the Joker is around.
      So I am with you 50/50.
      I don't want him to come soon, let other be the villain instead. But I do want him to come at some point.
      I think the best way to handle this Joker is to have him cameo in every movie and series apart of this new Batman universe. Have him built up from the ground up, and then have him be the villain of the finale to it all. Have him be the ultimate villain.

    The Batman is the best.
    It's the best written of these 3, but the biggest factor is the fact that it is easily the most "BATMAN" of all Batman movies.
    It also just feels like HIS movie instead of the villain's.
    What I loved about it is how it made me feel for Batman himself.
    Man, that scene where he saves the civilians from the flood. It gave me serious Spider-Man 2 train save vibes. And I love it.

      The movie feels less like a Batman movie and more like an episode of CSI or Zodiak Killer. It’s a cool detective story but you could swap out Batman for any other detective and the story is the same. It’s missing the theatrics of a Burton batman film. Gotham feels like just another big city without that distinct vibe of the comics

    I think for riddler's sudden motivation for the third act for the seawalls to explode is rushed and contrived, but it does make some sense.
    The seawall is built using the money from the renewal fund. Riddler saw it as money that could have gone to him and destroying the walls shows that the money and effort to build it is gone and there will be less corruption I guess. Sorry for the horrible explanation.

So to him I saw it as the city is to far to save, and is more of a mediator for flushing the corruption out of gotham. I could just be reaching but that's just how I see it, and I totally see what you mean. Thanks for another wonderful video, you put so much work into these it's insane

    • @thebatman4279

    Riddler's overarching plan is strongly biblical. The use of Ave Maria, the bible verses, the film's very direct reference to Se7en, it's clear that religion plays a large part in this character's ideology. The flooding of Gotham harkens to the great flood of the old testament, washing away the unclean and the sinners. It is still a little silly that his plan included screwing over countless other people suffering in poverty such as himself, but I feel like that at least explains why he went with a flood.

    I do actually think that there might be a reason riddler blew up the city. You see the thing is he’s a physcopath so he doesn’t give a crap about civilians. But I think the reason he didn’t care for them was because he thinks that all the good people were his twitch followers and Batman so he thinks that only the ones who deserve to live should live.

    “His is a vigilante. That's what that means. He believes the corruption goes all the way up and covers the whole city and with Batman's help he'd expose and eliminate them.
    If it was just about murder, he could have killed any of them at any time. Like Falcone at the funeral. It was about exposing them and after that drowning them for revenge. I don't think it was necessary but lets just say it was like...shooting fish in a barrel”
