I still think Cillian Murphy was horribly used in Begins, but Begins was still great. Lady Shiva should’ve been the villain for TDKR. Imagine, instead of Bane, Bats gets fucked up by a chick. Throw in a shot of gordon on a rooftop with the batsignal looking out over the city…and seeing hundreds of ninja running across rooftops.
FUCK I CAME. But really, why haven’t we gotten a Lady Shiva movie? shes realistic, and there’d be lots of martial arts, and detective work, and NINJA
although, Bales batman couldnt work with lady shiva shed shit all over him. Batman’s supposed to be a brooder, not a moper
Because a movie with lots of martial arts would mean that there would have to be lots of martial arts. We’d probably get seizures from all the shaky cam action.
Begins and TDK are not bad movies, I’m not going to go on any comic book guy rant and say they are the worst movies ever, but I’m just not on the whole “THEY ARE THE BEST MOVIES EVER” tip like some people.
BB would get a 7.5 from me and TDK would get a strong 8.5. As much as I can nit pick at TDK, it is a very very good movie. Even if they waste Aaron Eckhart killing it.
The saddest part is even though we are bitching about stuff, the movies were not bad at all. Just imagine how amazing they’d have been if they had some actual fight scenes and concentrated on one guy?
Like the whole ending of TDK was just like “Okayhereistwofacewegottatakecarofthisrightnow!” just like how Scarecrow was there to have a bag on his head and get tazed off a horse in BB.
It does when Nolan is making it, remember? Of course a Batman martial arts movie with actual fight choreography would be great. Nolan martial arts would give us the seizures.
Seriously - she was Premo and a GDer waaaay before Bleet! got gifted a freaking 360, and subsequently banned for not even doing the bare minimum in SS.

The Batman movies would be better with real compositions, cutting, a script, and a god damn moment of levity once in a while. I just don’t think they need to be any more serious than they already are. Actors standing around delivering a 17 year old’s idea of portentous, dramatic dialogue while the camera constantly spins around them and cuts to a reaction shot every 1/2 second… and that’s when their “style” is at its most subdued.
Don’t misunderstand. These movies do get the most important thing right: even in the more tragic times, it’s pretty sweet to be Batman.
Outlook is seriously the worst thing that has ever happened.
It is worse than the holocaust, and 9/11 combined.
The buildings could have fallen on auschwitz, and Somalian pirates could have come in, raped the corpses, and mixed the dead Jew ashes with cocaine and gunpowder, snorted it, and off that high, re-bombed pearl harbor, and it STILL wouldn’t be as bad as Microsoft Outlook 2010.
