BATMAN BEGINS (2005) “Does it come in black?” | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION & Review

[@derrickowen8162]

It's unfortunate that Ken Watanabe had such a small role in this film. I love everything that guy does.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Yes!!! I’m so glad you brought this up. This is a very tricky situation, I feel like. The dramatist in me loves it because it’s “The Psycho Effect”: cast a great, well-known actor in a seemingly prominent role, then shockingly kill them off early in. “Ooooh!! Whaaaattttt???” But while that’s awesome for the shock, it sucks because the actor gets so little screen time. So anyway, Long story long, I agree completely my brother.

[@thejamppa]

@@DavidvsFilm Luckily Watanabe got much more prominent role in Inception.

[@Rees2005]

Me too...Never get enough of him... Love Ken!

[@derrickowen8162]

[@billbill6094]

He kind of had to, the theatrical nature of the "esoteric Japanese swordsmaster" was exactly the misdirection Ra's Al Ghul teaches. For audiences at the time, it would've hit hard.

[@billbill6094]

Alfred's opinion on the brick and mortar nature of Wayne mansion came about by seeing how even with nothing, all their social status tarnished and their assets gone, even when officially dead for 7 years, the Waynes stop at nothing to help Gotham. The Batman is the Wayne legacy, Bruce embodies his family name. In a way, his actions caused character growth in Alfred too.

[@kingscorpion7346]

17:16 this scene was used as the first trailer I saw for the movie, and when Bruce threw the bat shaped star and hit the post, I just had chills as I could see it was going to be good!

[@DavidvsFilm]

Yeah, that's definitely a bad ass moment. I didn't remember anything about the trailer going in, but for some reason seeing Crane say, "It's the Bat - Man.." reminded me that I had seen that part in either a trailer or a clip.

[@derrickowen8162]

The Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard duo on this score was brilliant. Definitely a soundtrack to just chill with.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Yeah for sure. A lot of tension built into it as well. And even though these are awesome composers in their own right, can you imagine the long shadow cast by Danny Elfman’s iconic original score only 16 years before this?

[@derrickowen8162]

@@DavidvsFilm Yes both versions are great in their own way. Danny Elfman's is 100% more melodic and thematic, whereas this trilogy's score is the more emotional and mood-building.

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

This trilogy did something a lot these comic book movies don't do, especially Batman, and that's grounded it in reality. I think that's one thing that made it very popular. Like Ra's al-Ghul, who in comics, has the ability and knowledge to be genuinely immortal.

"Shoot her." "Finish him." The real Marc is showing through. LOL.

- SLAP - "Shoot her." This video will eventually be part of Marc's origin story when he becomes a super villain in the future. (Rutger Hauer was the vampire in the stand-alone Buffy movie which was before the TV show)

[@Katie_Snow]

OH-EM-GEE! When the notification appeared on my phone I practically lost my sh!t! This is my absolute favorite reiteration of Batman! My introduction to this character was through Batman Returns and that weird Penguin guy that always freaked me the F out lol. So I wasn’t too keen on watching this one when it came out. I actually started with The Dark Knight (the 2nd movie of this trilogy), I went to see it in theaters because I was pretty curious to see Heath Ledger’s Joker. And h-o-l-y g-u-a-c-a-m-o-l-e! I became obsessed. To this day, it’s my all time favorite Batman movie, I don’t think anything tops it. So I’m super stoked for you to see it next. As you mentioned, the music in these is top notch. Hans Zimmer is one of my favs. I highly suggest you pay close attention to the soundtrack that accompanies all the Joker scenes. It’s so eerie and intentionally unnerving. Listen for it. Gives me the creeps. It’s genius. Gosh I could ramble on. So excited! ❤️

[@DavidvsFilm]

Hey lady!! YES, so good!! I am really looking forward to Heath Ledger! Truth be told, I thought he was in THIS movie, so halfway through I was thinking, "Where the f is Ledger??" lol. The 90s Batman was my Batman, and I LOVED Batman Returns as a kid. The Penguin freaked me out a little (that nose scene.. no ma'am), but I loved Tim Burton's dark stylings of that one. And Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman was so great.

[@jeffthompson9622]

Thanks for reacting to this. This movie includes at least six Oscar winners, including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Ken Watanabe, and Tom Wilkinson. Rutger Hauer and Liam Neeson have also been nominated for awards.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Hey thanks, Jeff! Yeah, so I first took notice of the stacked casts Nolan seems to be able to command during Interstellar. It was just Oscar winner, Oscar winner, Oscar winner.. And I'm noticing the same here. I cannot wait to see the next 2 movies!!

[@Aegi97]

This is definitely a set up. But I think it’s a great one. Michael Caine is amazing. You mentioned about him being fully into his role no matter which one he was playing. That’s especially true in Muppets A Christmas Carol. Just a kids movie but he plays it amazingly. There are plenty of people that have made fun of Christian Bale’s Batman voice but I think it adds depth and makes it not as obvious that he’s Bruce Wayne underneath. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece (and Heath Ledger is amazing in it) so I’m very excited for the next one!

[@DavidvsFilm]

Thanks @Aegis Duensing! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the next one. that's a great point you make about his voice. I hadn't noticed anything bad about it- Batman's always had that rough voice if I remember correctly- but especially here with Christian Bale's Bruce speaking kind of low and dark anyway, he has to go Hershey's Special Dark dark to distinguish it properly :)

[@mysam4504]

The Ace of Base reference was a pleasant surprise. I listened to them so much in high school. 😊

[@3twelve206]

29:57 Context of those two conversations is crucial here lol.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Haha, true, but I did find it humorous. Just slightly jabbing at Alfred- he’s a great father figure to Bruce, so no real judgment here ;)

[@theduckthief]

This was so much fun and I'm liking this new bold Marc! Rutger Hauer was also in Blade Runner with the famous "tears in rain" line.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Haha thanks! Yeah, we caught him on a good night in this one, didn't we? Blade Runner is definitely on my list!

[@morothane1]

Dude the Jeb Bush remark was gold lmao. This movie is an amazing first step into Nolan’s Batman Universe. It’s definitely a darker and different take on classic Batman, but the deeper themes are really explored. It makes Batman feel real, and I can’t wait to see you guys watch the next one. Cheers :)

[@DavidvsFilm]

What up buddy?? Yeah I’m really excited about the Ledger one! This was a fantastic movie though. I loved seeing the realness of it, to your point- the training, the psychological conditioning, etc. I was glad to see Jeb getting out there on the streets and pitching in, btw. Lol

[@morothane1]

@@DavidvsFilm yeah, not to say this film is bad, because it isn’t. I’m just excited to see you watch Heath Ledger, because while I’m sure you consider him a great actor, it will really show a side of his talent never seen before, and I wish I could see what he could’ve done after The Dark Knight. But yes, Nolan has a way of capturing realism in surrealism, and really hitting at deeper context and themes than what’s on the surface.

Y'all mentioned that he's so buffed (and worked out for this movie), his previous movie was ''The Machinist'', you can't believe your eyes, if you see his (physical!) performance, even Christopher Nolan thought, how he's goin' to make that in time, to play Batman! Btw, love Gary Oldman (one of my favorite actors of all time) and Rutger Hauer (our Dutch pride!), and true, Michael Caine is always amazing!

35:49 "NOBODY made fun of Michael Keaton" Hahahaha! Oh yes they did! A LOT of people were fine with him playing Bruce but did NOT think he could "be" *Batman*! He proved them wrong of course! And I think you're generally right about Jim Gordon; he *needs* to be a steady presence to balance Batman's intensity; Gary Oldman puts the "support" in "supporting character" and it's hard to see that through the comic-book razzle-dazzle. Excellent video!

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh really?? I don't remember hearing that about MK! I was pretty young when it came out and not as tapped into Hollywood news/chatter yet, but that's good to know. I thought he just had a rubber stamp of approval. In a completely different role, btw, I loved him in The Founder. Just watched that a few years ago, and I liked it.

[@georginawest3927]

I thought it was very well-done, the performances were great, and it did not seem long at all.

[@d.t.nelson8805]

Batman Begins was a great take on the Batman lore, but, as an origin story, it largely was a set-up for the next two movies. (not saying the three movies aren't connected, but first movies like this tend to mostly be about introducing you to the world as it is created by this director). As a young adult I loved the Tim Burton Batman movies (as well as the third film with Val Kilmer, and even tolerated the fourth George Clooney Batman), but the Christopher Nolan trilogy suplanted them as my favorites. I reall appreciate the extreme dark tone of the new Pattinson version, The Batman, and Paul Dano's Riddler does come close to giving me Heath Leger-Joker vibes, but still didn't top the Nolan versions for me. Det. Gordon wasn't developed much as a character in the first movie, but the character definitely grows over the course of the next two films, and Gary Oldman does a fantastic job. Not surprising since Gary Oldman is such a great actor. He disappears into every character he takes on. Many times you don't recognize him. Just compare him in this role (over the three films) with his role as Sirius Black (Harry Potter), Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (The Fifth Element), Winston Churchill (Darkest Hour-not to be confused with the sci fi film THE Darkest Hour), George Smiley (Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy), Ivan Korshunov (Air Force One), Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula), Beethoven (Immortal Beloved), Sid Vicious (Sid & Nancy), Dreyfus (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Rosencrantz (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead), and on and on and on. Every character is completely unique.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Hey D. T.! Oh he scared the sh*t out of me as Dracula when I was a kid. And I'm saying just from the trailers and ads! lol. I still haven't seen it to this day (though I'd be up for it now vs. when I was a scared wee one lol). And I have been meaning to watch Tinker Taylor for YEARS because I think I would really like that one. About Batman, the 90s ones (especially Burton's) were my absolute favorites. I don't judge movies harshly now as it is, but definitely at that age I loved every one of them. I need to rewatch now as an adult and see if I find them any more cringeworthy, because back then they were just so much fun. These and the Affleck ones I missed, but I did recently watch The Batman on my own and really liked it. Very dark.

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction David & Marc! 😊 I'm so excited that you two are starting on the "Dark Knight Trilogy". Christian Bale is one of my favorite Bruce Wayne/Batman portrayals. I think that you both are going to enjoy this trilogy. It's not a Christopher Nolan film, however I do highly recommend the latest Batman movie "The Batman" from 2022. And another Christopher Nolan movie that you both might enjoy is the 2020 movie "Tenet". Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

[@DavidvsFilm]

Hey Randee!!! Thank you :) I would love to watch Tenet because I know literally nothing about it. And I love coming into movies totally blind like that. :) I already watched The Batman (and loved it), but Marc hasn't seen it yet.

[@Rocco1332]

I 2nd Tenet. The Batman had some great moments, but overall, it was a huge letdown. I might actually prefer Batfleck over it.

[@reflectionist]

My favorite part of The Dark Knight Trilogy is where the assistant District Attorney, honeypots a billionaire orphan into a permanently radicalized extremist that casually terrorizes criminals, by gaslighting him for having the nerve to point out that she's just... probably not very good at her job. (I'm 100% kidding, this trilogy is awesome!)

I grew up reading Batman (and pretty much every other DC/Marvel) comics back in the 60s and I've never been a big fan of the Batman films. Nice to get a synopsis of this one from you two.

Thanks Nes70r! Yeah I saw that one YEARS ago, and I remember the twist specifically, but Marc hasn’t seen it. Great recommendation.

[@Rocco1332]

One of the best superhero origin stories, right up there with the original Iron Man. Anytime I see Michael Caine I think of Alfred. We haven't had a good Batman since this trilogy. Inception soon?

[@DavidvsFilm]

Unsurprisingly, I agree with all of this lol. Seriously though, I really enjoyed getting to see the evolution of young Bruce Wayne to “Swear to MEEEEEE” Batman. If this had been done today, you know it would be presented as a limited series on Max instead of a movie. And I would watch every episode! 😁 What I love about Michael Caine is that he somehow remains his very distinctive self while simultaneously melting into each character he portrays. How does he do it??? I honestly want to watch Inception very soon. Gotta figure out where to place it. You think Marc would like it?

[@Rocco1332]

I think so. It's typical Nolan where he hits the ground running, give you a moment to breathe, then right back in. Some of the concepts can get a little hard to follow if not paying attention, but nowhere near Momento levels. And the film score...gives your heart a workout on its own

[@Rocco1332]

Also wanted to add that I love how they show that Batman's cape is one of the few FUNCTIONAL capes for superheroes. It's not just a dumb death trap design choice.

Batman is my favourite comic character as you know 😂 Bale was my Batman for a long time but the love of Rob took over, and for me nothing can rob it, MK in Batman Returns is good, for me my top 3 Batman movies are The Batman 2022 The Dark Knight Batman Returns

You sold me on RP as Batman, of course.

[@jamesoblivion]

Warner Brothers got thousands of letters protesting the casting of Michael Keaton. These people actually bought stamps, and mailed actual letters, in the hopes of getting him fired. Batman fans have a pretty strong streak of skepticism with regard to casting. Though the only casting I recall being initially stupidly controversial on that scale in the Dark Knight trilogy was Heath Ledger.

Hey you! Woohoo for the Mai Tai!!!! Yeah, same here historically with DC vs. Marvel. Growing up, I was always a Batman and Superman fan. MCU has won me over with it's more modern offerings, but I would race to see a Batman movie in the 90s vs X-Men for example. And specifically, I'm a huge Batman fan- these Dark Knight movies are the only movies I missed because I was all over the place when they came out (and the Ben Affleck ones because I just haven't seen them yet).

I'm a nerd for history, backstory, stuff like that, so I enjoyed those aspects of this movie in defining the character. I am excited to get to Affleck's version, by the way! I loved him so much in Argo, Gone Girl, and of course Armageddon (aka the movie where he went full-on heartthrob and bought his "Hollywood teeth" lol) way back in the day.

@@DavidvsFilm Ironically I couldn't stand Affleck in his heartthrob days (same thing with Leo). But I've grown to appreciate his work as he's gotten older.

Ms Congenialitiy is a fun movie..no shame here!😊💚

[@DavidvsFilm]

I love it!

Gary Oldman! 😁 .... Harry Potter's godfather... 😐🤦🏽‍♀️

[@DavidvsFilm]

Among other things.. lol. I think we can all agree his finest acting moment was his guest appearance on Friends... (kidding! though I did enjoy his comedic performance in that)

[@ajdo1991]

The Dark Knight trilogy is one of my all time favourites but yes, Batman Begins is definitely the weakest of the trilogy. I can’t wait to see you guys react to the Dark Knight!

[@DavidvsFilm]

My buddy!!! What's going on?? Yeah, I am looking forward to that one for sure! All I know of the 3rd one is that Bane is in it, and I remember the scene of a football field collapsing or something like that. These kind of movies are THOROUGHLY enjoyable for me :)

[@bobschenkel7921]

Here's a Spoiler Alert for the next Batman movie, "The Dark Knight". There is no Katie Holmes, she is replaced, but I won't say by whom. Hint, it's a female. And, i do want Batman's Tumbler vehicle, it is Bad Ass.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Dammmmittttt, I was hoping she was going to be replaced by Ryan Reynolds. Oh well, can't win them all. And hell yes on the Tumbler! I love all the toys. I remember being a kid and watching Burton's Batman, and I lost it when he flew the Batwing up against the backdrop of the moon. That baby went on my Christmas list IMMEDIATELY.

[@bobschenkel7921]

@@DavidvsFilm LOL I hope you got the Batwing, at least toe "toy" version. If you got a real one, well...Look Out!

[@jaemyrick5277]

Could you fellas tone down the swearing. It was distracting. The talking through the WHOLE movie. Do you act like that in a movie theater? Comments throughout the movie is not that necessary. A few comments is good enough. BTW: You are aware Batman Begins is the origin story. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I saw it in 2008 on the big screen at a late show. The Joker was terrifying. During a pivotal scene, I was shaking in my seat. He made me cry because I was so scared. Christopher Nolan is an incredible director.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh my God no, we'd never talk like this in a movie theater! That's what we have a KZbin channel for :)

Did you see my comment on Live Stream about my Spooky Season list for October from Sunday? BTW: I loved that joke on the Hunger Games reaction about Simply Orange Juice. I was LOL! What’s your beef with State Farm Insurance, that’s hilarious. Hahahaha. Have a beautiful day or night. @@DavidvsFilm

[@DavidvsFilm]

@@jaemyrick5277 Haha thanks on the Simply Orange :) Oh! Yes, thank you for reminding me about the spooky season list! I’ll go grab it. No beef with State Farm lol- I’ve had them for years, so I figured I’ve paid in enough to mess with them. ;)

[@jaemyrick5277]

Thanks for replying back. I hope you like my choices? 🎃🎃🎃☠☠👻👻@@DavidvsFilm Peach tea & Love. Instead of peace and love. That’s my little joke. Hahaha.

[@jenniferri7735]

HEY. pattinson is fantastic in the role. i felt the same as you guys before i saw it, but i did a total 180 after watching it. when you're done with the nolan trilogy, go for the new one. it's great all around!

[@DavidvsFilm]

Thanks, Jennifer!! I'm really looking forward to the next movie in particular ;)
