[@Stuart_Cox1969]

Please watch "Shaft" from 2000 with Samuel L. Jackson and Christian Bale, great movie, and then there's "American Psycho" with Christian Bale, outstanding performance.

[@Pakicetus_]

Another incredible movie with Christian Bale as a child is "Empire of the Sun" (1987) totally recommendable.

[@e.d.2096]

Jen, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp in "Public Enemy" great gangster film about John Dillinger. The Golden age of bank robbery.

[@space1999]

I live round the corner from that house, it's in Nottinghamshire in england

[@space1999]

The director of these 3 films, Chris Nolan, is a massive james bond fan and so you will see, a couple of massive stunts in these 3 movies lifted directly from bond, you've already seen one stunt in you only live twice that you'll see in the 2nd batman film, and in the third is a stunt you will get to when u get to 80s bond...

[@noneya3635]

Lol, love hearing Jen call the bat cave his lair, the bat noises and her own special effect noises for the action scenes. One of the most fun reviews to watch in a bit.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks!! ☺️👍

[@brucebieberly4166]

It's not just that everybody need an Alfred in their life, it's that everybody should be an Alfred to somebody else.

Alfred's great. He still can't compete with Samweis Gamdschie ;)

[@3Kings_Industries]

The Nolan Batman trilogy also has some very keen similarities to the Animated film, BATMAN MASK OF THE PHANTASM, which is worth a watch,given the recent passing of Kevin Conroy, the voice of the Batman The Animated series.

[@shanedaley6236]

Definitely mask of the phantasm is one of the best movies for batman can't wait to see the full reaction for the dark knight trilogy it just gets better and better

[@biguy617]

Best animated Batman movie ever

[@Wannabe_Baby]

My favourite thing about Jen's reactions is how she embraces the tropes of whatever movie she's watching. The joy she got from the secret piano entrance to the lair was so wholesome. *bat sounds

[@jenmurrayxo]

😂👍🦇

[@CaptainAmercia]

Batman Begins for me is the best out of the three films. It has the best depiction of Gotham along with a really solid atmosphere and aesthetic that is lost in the two sequels. The Dark Knight is a great film but I was never a big fan by the whole "It could be any city" idea Nolan had going for his Gotham. Very much prefer Tim Burton's depiction of Gotham but I do like Batman Begins the most out of the Nolan trilogy. Overall it's a really good film but Mask of the Phantasm will always be my favourite Batman film. My Favourite Gotham's: Batman 89 & Returns | Gothic Revival to the Max Batman Forever | Neon Gotham I loved The Batman | Modern Take Yet still Felt like a Unique City Mask of the Phantasm | Dark Deco Timeless 1940s Love Batman & Robin | Loved the Madness Batman Begins | Solid Modern Reimagine Batman VS Superman | Alright, Need to see More The Dark Knight | Chicago, Just Chicago The Dark Knight Returns | Pittsburgh, Boring

[@normlee6566]

This film took a number of ideas from the comic book, Batman: Year One (including the scene where he summoned bats to escape the police). And they should have kept Katie in the sequel (which is the best of the trilogy by far, and arguably the best Batman film made to date).

[@tmckain5532]

"He's trippin' balls". Always learning something new about you Jen. I love it! You're awesome.

[@jenmurrayxo]

😂👍

[@Unchartedadventures94]

The entire essence of Batman is summed up in a fantastic piece of dialogue between Bruce and Alfred from this movie. “People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man, I’m flesh and blood. I can be ignored. I can be destroyed. But as a symbol. As a symbol I can be incorruptible; I can be everlasting” “What symbol?” “Something elemental. Something terrifying.” Great writing!

[@boboboy8189]

but There's also downside, Bruce Wayne said he want symbol that can be replace which is actually against batman from comic. batman in comic, refuse anybody to be batman

[@vl4581]

This entire trilogy is great. In my opinion by far the best batman.

[@javix2013]

Put on the list: The Empire of The Sun, directed by Steven Spielberg, you are going to see Christian Bale's debut at just 12 years old, carrying the entire film on his shoulders, since he is the protagonist and his performance is masterful at such a at a young age, when I saw him at that moment in 1987, I said, if this young man manages to survive fame at such a young age and doesn't get dizzy and lose himself in excesses, he's going to become a great actor as an adult and that's how it was, he Time proved me right, in that film you could already see the talent and all the potential of Bale.

[@mahmoodali5043]

I don't care about this one movie but am absolutely hyped by the prospect that Jen would be reacting to the Dark Knight trilogy! Jen: making cool reactions since before it was cool.

[@chefskiss6179]

Nice one, Jen! And based off what you said after finishing the Ocean's trilogy, about wanting some suggestions for more heist flicks, AND from your new found love of Alfred (Michael Caine) in this gem, I hope you check him out in The Italian Job (1969).

[@adamromero]

I'm pretty nostalgic for the Burton Batman's but I definitely appreciate these grittier versions. The Batman (2022) is also really good too, including the music! Batman always nails it with the music. 👍

[@williambaucum3318]

Hi Jen, welcome to the greatest superhero trilogy of all time. The next one in line is The Dark Knight. Get ready to be blown away. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is simply spectacular. And as usual your reaction was great and fun. Cannot wait for your review of the Dark Knight. See ya soon.

[@abovewater6918]

Christian Bale does such a good job in this series essentially playing 3 characters. He plays the "Billionaire Playboy" persona to throw people off that he could ever be Batman. He plays the raging beast that is Batman, and then he plays real Bruce, and I think he's still trying to figure out who that is

[@dildodickings2668]

That guy is seriously talented. I was so shocked when i heard him talk with his own accent the first time. English isn't my first language so the fake accent might be more obvious to some but to me it was crazy. That's like seeing somebody throw 10 darts in the bullseye and realizing he did it blindfolded with his left hand.

[@abovewater6918]

@@dildodickings2668 His American accent is so good that it fools a lot of people.

[@mparantha]

League of Shadows was invented for Nolan's trilogy (it's a more family-friendly sounding name). In the source material, it's called the League of Assassins.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

The Nolan Batman trilogy is so freakin awesome. Its very grounded, everything seems plausible like the "toys" and everything its so cool. Also practical effects. Brace yourself for the next one its a wild ride. On a side note I hope you'll check out Batman Forever. Its definitely not one of the best Batman movies but it is definitely one of my favorite.

[@kjdempsey]

This is the first of a trilogy. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises

[@soundguy78]

Oooh! This trilogy is fun, PJ! Let's get it!!👀🍷🚬👍👊💪💕

[@dougwoody332]

Michael Caine is far and away my favorite Alfred, the Tumbler is far and away my favorite Batmobile, and the Nolan trilogy is easily my favorite Batman story. And I have to say Jen watching them all is the most entertaining thing yet on the channel (even with as high a bar as that is). I am honestly even more hyped for The Dark Knight reaction than I would have been anyway. I had literal LOLs at several points.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Doug! ☺️👍

[@madtown99980]

About time you react to one of the greatest trilogies of all time!😁Great reaction Jen!

[@08191906]

Another wonderful reaction. Well done. Christopher Nolan and his creative team did good job culling critical elements from the 1986 comic "Batman: Year One" by Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli ; a comicbook reboot of the origin of Batman. Though they skipped over some parts of Miller's storyline, and inserted "Hollywood" at times, the movie is an overall excellent reboot.

[@jerome007ify]

Jen you go from my favourite franchise to my 2nd favourite. Bond & Batman. Doesn’t get better than that. Swear you’re stalking me 😄 Thanks Jen.

[@jerome007ify]

The Dark Knight is the best Super hero movie of all time (my opinion). Being greedy I know but after the Bat get onto MI: with Cruise. You’ll love it👍🏿

[@chriscassul9904]

I'm so glad you noticed the Importance of Alfred in Bruce's life. 7 years of learning and training under many mentors to become the Batman. Loved your reaction as always, I hope you watch more Batman and Superman in the future can't wait.

[@WTR28]

Trying to imagine a scenario in which Jen would ever end up in a fist fight...let alone it be in the mud 😂😂 Also, loved the bat flapping sound effects!

[@jenmurrayxo]

😂👍

[@jimmyboy131]

Jen seems to gentle and kind to fist fight someone.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

A great reaction, Jen, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. This adaptation of Batman is closer to the original comics than the Tim Burton films, the animated series has been the best so far, in my opinion. 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson from earlier this year is really good, hopefully we'll get to see more of him in the role. Nolan's trilogy of Batman films are very enjoyable though, and Bale does a great job, I look forward to seeing you react to 'The Dark Knight' next.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

I vehemently disagree. This take on The Batman is relatively more "realistic" than what was established in the comics and as a result, it takes more liberties than Burton's pair of films. (Ras Al Ghul and the League Of Assassins did not train Bruce Wayne, for instance) However, I haven't read more recent comics, so who knows how much the movies have " influenced" the comics since the beginning of this trilogy?!?

[@brom00]

Jen, don't forget the Batman of my generation, Adam West in "Batman '66". Back when the Bat was fun and colorful, before he became so dark. Didn't you also see Bale in "American Psycho" ? If not, you should, the film certainly plays with you head.

[@AkodoGarou]

Jen's bar sounds are hilariously cute! I wish I could rewatch the trilogy for the first time, amazing movies!

[@ar47yrr4p]

Out of ALL the batman movies and ALL the batmans... my favorite is this movie and Christian Bale.

[@MinecraftAedda]

You are just too much fun to hang out with Jen! Great reaction to a version of Batman that I love. Too many heroes are like milk chocolate... there is nothing wrong with milk chocolate per say but sometimes you are in the mood for something a bit darker... or a whole lot darker in this case. Delicious movie.

[@toddvergith9485]

These movies are incredible. All 3 are great! Can't wait for the next 2. Especially The Dark Knight. You're in for a wild ride there.

[@Humstuck]

I like this series of batman but the part I like the most in this movie is the stealth part when he gets back to Gotham after his training. I wish it was used more often by Batman in general.

[@tomhoffman4330]

Now this is the kind of movie that makes me miss Jen's Premiere Chats, because I'd have had a whole lot to say about how much I love this one!

[@lukefallon8276]

What a great reaction! You have the enthusiasm of a true Batfan! Though I still like the Tim Burton films I think Nolan's version is one of the best. You're in for a treat with the second movie. I like that this series is dark. But The Batman (2022) is even darker and is another great interpretation of the character. Batman doesn't kill - unless you count Zach Snyder's version. But that's another story.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Luke! ☺️👍

[@manehriimao2079]

Micheal Keaton killed, so no excuse for him either.

[@pablom-f8762]

DC Animation is UN-FCKN-BELIEVABLE, treat yourself to any of them if you haven't yet. Including the Justice League ones. How can they do animation so well and screw up the live-action movies so bad is beyond my comprehension.

[@nassirmreyoud4415]

I met Nolan through this movie, not through Memento, like everyone else, and I loved this director, from then on I followed all his movies, my favorite to this day INCEPTION, that movie blows my mind.

[@smavtmb2196]

Obviously Ra's al ghul is very wrong. We should never give up our compassion or empathy. Without them we are heartless sociopaths. I love the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman movies. My favorite is The Dark Knight 2008. Looking forward to you seeing it. No spoilers, So all I'll say is Heath Ledger's performance is amazing. It's a strange coincidence that you just happened to mention seeing Christian Bale in Newsies as I just watched a production of Newsies on Saturday night. However instead of Christian Bale I saw my nephew perform in a community youth theater production of it. They did a great job actually. The first movie I ever saw Christian Bale in was Empire of the Sun (1987) He was only 13 when he stared in it and received an overwhelming amount of attention for his role. It's definitely a movie worth watching.

[@RM-qj8cs]

@Jen Murray The Dark Knight (2008) will leave you in shock when you see it

[@eddiejravannen]

You need to catch up on how awesome an actor Christian Bale is. Two highly underrated movies you need to watch. If you want a dystopian future movie, then check out Equilibrium. If you want a psychological thriller, watch "The Machinist". P.s. if you do, keep in mind he did that film right before doing this Batman movie. Both are awesome films.

[@DarthLoki]

So you are REALLY gonna love the next movie, The Dark Knight. Not only was it the pinnacle of the late Heath Ledger's career but the entire theme of the movie is a synopsis of the state of the world we live in. Arguably one of the best movies of any genre, ever!

[@44excalibur]

This was the only Christopher Nolan Batman movie that actually looked and felt like Batman.

[@doughbafett]

Which is why it's my favorite of the trilogy.

[@edfrancis66]

Michael Caine has really been amazing supporting character in this series and other Nolan movies! And this among a stellar cast. If I were to make a Batman movie, I'd need Jen to do the bat sound fx! ;)

[@brianscott3541]

This is one of the best trilogies I have ever seen (even though others like Superman, Star Wars and Lethal Weapon......are included. The actors are terrific!

This film was quite the surprise in 2005. The last Batman film in theaters was infamously Batman and Robin from 1997 and it was goofy and completely different in tone compared to the earlier ones. After that Batman just disappeared from theaters. True, you had the New Adventures, Batman Beyond and the Return of the Joker which were fantastic but that was pretty much it and only on the smaller screen. Then the Marvel films began coming out starting with Blade and then the X-Men and finally Spider-Man. It seemed no one cared about Batman anymore. When I was 15, I had absolutely no idea they were making a new Batman film but here it was along with this new director I had never heard of up to that point named Christopher Nolan. It was such a breath of fresh air and took itself VERY seriously compared the last movie. My only one real complaint was that Batman doesn't have a final confrontation with the Scarecrow but other than that, it was an amazing watch. Nolan's career really exploded after that, especially with the next one which to many is the greatest comic book film ever made.

[@davidburke2132]

For me this was the real start of superhero movies being done seriously rather than tongue in cheek and hammed-up. I know serious actors had played superheroes before (Michael Keaton as Batman just as one example) but the script and the mood of the movies had never really matched it before. For me this movie and its sequels paved the way for the superhero movies with real drama and character development like we’ve subsequently seen in the MCU.

[@michaelgonzalez6295]

Batman was created 80+ years ago and has been reinterpreted many times in comics, TV, film and games. In some, he is a serious detective, with minimal gadgets. In some, he is a billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist minus powered armor or the pinnacle of human training without a SuperSoldier formula. Everyone has their favorites but they all center on a few points. A. His family died in Crime Alley (as it's called). Doesn't matter who the killer was or why, Bruce was traumatized and does not let it go. B.The bat becomes his symbol to cause fear. How he learns this (phobia, one time scare, etc.) doesn't matter too much. C.He is only a man with no "powers" except determination, intelligence and training. Sometimes he makes his own gadgets too, other times not. D.He did not make himself a billionaire, but being one provides many material and social benefits to help fight crime. E.He has very few friends: Alfred and Jim Gordon mostly. Sometimes Lucius Fox, sometimes Robin and more. But mostly Alfred and Jim.

I’m loving your reactions! The Bond movies, now the Nolan Batman trilogy. I’m going to really go out on a limb and recommend a movie here-the 1966 Batman movie with Adam West.

4:52 In the comics, they mistakenly believed that Bruce needed to take fighting lessons from everyone who was the best at their sport or style. Eventually thanks to the 1980s "Ninja Boom" it hit them that to make it simpler for themselves, they could just have him be a "Ninja" as seen here. Bad thinking had them create a character called "The Karate Kid" because they didn't know the term "Karate" is a Japanese word meaning "way of the open hand"! They meant "martial arts" but were even unaware of that term! But once they learned it, they stopped using "fighting art"! Their trademarked character eventually every martial art on Planet Earth and then in the Milky Way Galaxy! All because of their NYC naivete about anything that wasn't Boxing or Wrestling! But they got one aspect right!
