[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

@@Lmonhaze Hahaha, no. Raimi Spider-Man is probably the most overrated adaptation in comic books of all time. The first two films are carried by the two antagonists, and they had the best and only good performances in those films: Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and JK Simmons. That's it, everyone else had terrible and cringe-acting, the relationship with MJ was the worst written we have gotten, and the whole trilogy is full of plot holes, especially the third one. Peter didn’t got bitten at 15 years old, he didn’t made the web fluid or web-shooters, etc., Nolan's trilogy does have some plot holes, and Batman is killing, but outside of that, at least the acting is leagues better, so it's the cinematography, storytelling, etc.

[@controlman7490]

@@reynaldolorenzo8409 What are you on? Rosemary Harris, James Franco, and Tobey Maguire acted fine. Also, complete comic accuracy is not needed to make a good superhero film. It changes nothing that Peter in this film got bit at 17. Him not making the web fluid is not that big of a deal either. Raimi made it clear that this movie wasn't supposed to be comic-accurate. This a different version of Spider-Man. Besides, he was still Spidey at his core. Making jokes during fights, swinging from buildings, helped innocent people, so what's the issue?

[@antoinecarlier9248]

@@OfficialMediaKnights let's rewatch the dark knight 😁

[@Qaor]

You must do the second movie next. Heath ledger's performance as joker is one of, if not the best acting performances I've ever seen. You look at the character on screen, how he talks and acts, and I still just can not picture the actor at all. He was incredible.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Heath Ledger’s Joker is one of those roles that everybody has either seen or they’ve heard just how good the performance is. What a fantastic actor he was ❤️

[@LordBaktor]

The scene where he sits in his cell and claps for Gordon being promoted is the only one where I see a little bit of Heath and that scene was one of the first ones to be filmed if I recall correctly. Rest of the movie he's just gone and there's only the Joker.

[@Skye_Writer]

The internet was SO nasty before the film when the pics came out of what Joker would look like, and so many people predicting the doom of the picture. None of comic nerd friends were willing to calm down and just wait and see what it would be like. And I admit, I wrinkled up my nose when I saw him, wondering wth they had done to the character. But of all the Batman films out at that time, Nolan's was the most faithful to the source material, even though he wasn't 100% faithful. And I reminded everyone that when we saw pics of Bale before the first movie, we all kind of thought, "Really? THAT'S who they chose to play super-hot, square-jawed, buff Bruce Wayne??" (To my mind, Clooney still played the best BRUCE, though his Batman was written to be campy af so that movie overall was terrible. But on a TV rewatch, I skipped all the Batman parts and just watched him as Bruce, and omg he was PERFECT! Such a shame he got stuck doing a Batman film for a director who wanted to emulate the feel of the 1960s TV show. But I digress...) But when we watched Bale as Batman, we were all sold on it, so I reminded my friends to just wait and see. And in the end, Ledger gave us THE most frightening take on the villain who, all things considered, is the scariest one in Batman's Rogues' Gallery. (Batman: No Man's Land if you don't believe me.)

[@CrayCruz]

that's when you know an actor has done his job, although ne is amazing as Joker. A well deserved Oscar win.

[@adhdraidsagain]

I was today years old when I realized William Earle who ran Wayne Enterprises was played by Rutger Hauer who played Roy Batty in Blade Runner. Even in a smaller part like this, his presence is palpable, I love it.

Also huge respect to Christian Bale, that guy is not human. He went from The Machinist into Batman in a very little amount of time. The dude went from brink of death skinny to a muscular athlete. *Another point for Bruce's choice of vehicles. Lamborghini Murcielago, which he drives in the Batman movies, Murcielago translation is a bat. **They did really build several Tumblers. It's an existing prototype. Jay Leno had a video on it.

[@davidfausel9029]

So ridiculously happy to run through this one with you guys. After being so down about where the Batman character was after Batman and Robin and the "hiatus" years, I remember seeing this in the theater and walking out afterwards - and being dumbfounded about the absolute home-run that Nolan pulled off. I was shocked how well he nailed it and how amazing this film was - left in awe - the perfect blend of comic book lore and film skill and technique. So SO fucking good.

@@OfficialMediaKnights Tell that to modern films which directors are being lazy and wasteful... movies nowadays cost 300 million dollars and look 10 times worse than this cause directors just lie back on their rocking chairs and just put CGI into every fucking difficult to produce scene... no creativity... just lazy direction and the youngest of the new directors are the worst of them cause they are already indoctrinated to believe that CGI will solve everything... You CANNOT replace practical effects... the best example is Top Gun Maverick where almost everything is practical with real actors in real fighter jets and you can see the absolute terror in their eyes which would not be there if they were in a studio and planes were CGI... there are 3 seconds of film in one of the training scenes where the plane is actually CGI and you can spot it right away... you can see the difference and your only thought is "this is NOT a real plane"... you CANNOT replace reality with a computer and CGI also make actors perform so much worse cause they're acting without seeing or feeling anything... Early 2000s where we had a ton of practical with only a sprinkle of CGI where it was REALLY needed was the sweet spot... everything after that has been downhill all the way to rock bottom where we are now

I LOVE the relationship between Gordon and Batman in this. I’ve never seen an adaptation that explains why they trust each other so much, and it makes so much sense that Bruce would be so attached to Gordon because he gave him comfort after the worst moment of his life. The ending of this movie is so powerful, with Gordon giving thanks and Batman saying “and you’ll never have to”, knowing who Gordon is to Bruce personally and Gordon having no idea of the impact that he had on Bruce’s life.

[@jenni5104]

Ah, Batman Begins… it often gets overshadowed by its sequel, but it’s my favourite of the Nolan Batman movies (and it has one of THE most stacked casts ever!). This is how you do a reboot - it feels unburdened by what had come before and is not afraid to be its own thing, without relying on endless callbacks and fanservice moments. Sure, it borrows a lot from the first Spider-Man, which set the standard for origin movies, and from the first X-Men as well, which showed how a comic book movie could be grounded and grown-up as well as popular, but it still stands on its own merits… and truth be told, after Spider-Man 2 the Marvel movies were running out of steam. They had to reboot their own efforts, and the first Iron Man owes a lot to Batman Begins for the grounding of the world, the focus on the developing of the technology etc etc. What goes around comes around! Roll on The Dark Knight!

finally yey this is the beggining of my favorite reactioners to take lot of sagas greetings from el salvador

[@hajrahhussain]

I love your reactions they always make my day when I am having a rough day.❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh that's so kind of you to say, we're so glad that we're able to provide some fun for you! You got this!

[@zhollamychalis4252]

Two things...1) No superhero has more mentors...Rachel minus the slap, Falconi, Fox, Ras Al Ghul. But...of all the fathers in the hero universe...there can only be one. Alfred. A class act...in a class all by himself. 2) When you get the chance...look up Sandy Corrola's Batman Dead End....a little short that came out just before Batman Begins. Many of us old fogeys attribute this short to influencing the change from the hokey bat predecessors into Bat begins. Good reaction guys. And cheers!

A couple weeks ago , I had the opportunity to see Hans Zimmer Live! And it was… Exhilarating. You could feel the bass in your base. And the Dark Knight Trilogy scores are my favorites Hard to believe Hans said he wasn’t good at making Superhero Themes

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

No way! That must’ve been an amazing experience. We’d love to hear his music live 😃

[@onycsparks562]

I love the appreciation for not just the lore of the story but also the medium (the cinematography ) Thanks for the great video!

[@Will-nn3pb]

Holy cow....its nearly 20 years?....thats crazy Nolans adaptation is my favourite of all the batmans Music.. The cast... The writing and dialogue and everything Nolan really understood bruce waynes batman cant wait to see you guys react to the next 2 movies

[@stardustanimation7501]

Batman Begins is the greatest Batman movie of all-time. The Dark Knight gets recognition because of Heath Ledger but the writing here is top notch. Plus I love Katie Holmes, I wish she could have been in the next film, it would have been more believable.

[@skankster890]

You guys are great! Can’t f*king wait for part 2 and 3 😁

[@Starman-xc1hj]

Great video I love your reactions you two are the best reactors , the saddest part in this movie is when Bruce loses his parents even though its a movie it's still heartbreaking I just can't ever imagine anyone going through that , I'm a grown man and I still get tears every time I see that scene.

[@patrickmaldonado1313]

Liam Neeson is so talented he can play both Hero and Villain so flawlessly He is such an interesting villain. i wish he got a little more screen time in this movie.

[@williammatute2627]

Omg finally! Thank you for reacting to this movie!

[@delnero9149]

It's the best of the franchise...the dark night get more attention because of the legend Heath Ledger

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ohhh it's too hard to choose a favorite, we love them all!!

[@Bestfranky]

You're great guys, keep doing these reactions💪💪

[@leah-marie5031]

This is a great Batman origin story but Mask of the Phantasm is my favourite

[@HalfCracker4life]

Mask of the Phantasm & Under the Red Hood are THE best animated Batman films imo. Both have great stories, acting, & the action is very hardcore.

[@notadri11]

I love that you both have a deep appreciation of practical effects and the finer points of great filmaking.

[@Kaileigh_Broko]

You guys should check out Batman Mask Of The Phantasm.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Sounds awesome, thank you for the recommendation!

[@Kaileigh_Broko]

@@OfficialMediaKnights No problem. There are a few great animated Batman movies.

So excited for this series! The Dark Knight is spectacular. I know you will appreciate the cinematography and the performance of all the actors in there

I've been binging your channel for a week now, and I am so excited you're doing the Nolan Batman series! I cant wait to watch the next movies with you both!

Hard To Believe It Will Be 20 Years,Next Year Since This Movie Came Out,Time Flies, Batman Is The Best 💯 & Great Reactions Everyone 😊

[@folkblues4u]

Personally, Keaton is the standard for all Batmen, having been 9 when the first Burton film was released. It was the biggest thing (still) I've seen... Batman merch was everywhere. There were batman impersonators at every mall, grocery store, or major public gathering you went to. And when that iconic all-black logo-only VHS tape came out, it wore out VCRs all around the nation. These remakes were pretty good. But always felt like they missed the mark and feel of the universe that Burton demonstrated so very well.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Grew up watching his version of Batman as a kid. I remember they played it on TV this one time during the holidays and most of my family gathered to watch it since for them this was their one and only Batman. What Tim Burton did was truly ahead of it's time.

@@OfficialMediaKnights the thing both of y'all love birds need 2 know about the Joker (The Clown Prince of Crime) not everything's ever as it seems with the Joker, Joker's a lot of things but predictable & stupid usually ain't any of them, being careful/extra careful not going 2 cut it because when dealing with/up against the Joker always expect the unexpected no matter how obvious or absurd/insane/ridiculous and Joker won't have any1 unmasking Bats as well as making fun of his Jokes (Joker) any1 that/who attempts any of the 2 will either end up dead or suffer a fate far/much/way crueler/worse than death plus Joker's 1 heck of a Voice Impersonator/Master of Disguises!

Remakes? These movies aren't remakes. As for the nature of gotham 2022 the baman did it the best. Its not a perfect film but it felt like gotham

[@Cloningmaster55]

Matt Reeves and Tim Burton are both better Batman directors than Christopher Nolan imo same for Micheal Keaton and Rorbert Pattinson as Batman they are both better than Christian Bale again that's just my opinion but I still think the Dark Knight is the best Batman film though

[@Shinobi_ninja_clan]

"It's not who I am underneath... but what I do that defines me" the very definition of our Dark Knight!

[@Xardion55]

Two things... 1) It's a very cool original concept of why Bruce chose the bat primarily because of his own fear of them, with the secondary effect of terrorizing the criminal element. He literally cloaked himself into his own fear. 2) Funny how the villain/antagonist have more memorial quotes. But it's Liam Neeson, so it goes without saying.

[@Oron-n5l]

I enjoyed the intelligence of your comments and reactions. Bravo.

Omg you guys!!!Im so glad you started on this trilogy man, I CANT WAIT to watch your reaction for the next, its fucking epic, Heath Ledger is the one and only JOker period. Im so so excited to watch your reaction to everything, you are my absolute favorite. So authentic and genuine on your reaction and opinions! 😊

[@kimpanattoni]

I absolutely love this movie... and yet at the same time when I heard "Master Wayne! Master Wayne!" in the house fire scene, I could not help also hearing "Master Luke! Master Luke!" as a C-3PO line from Star Wars... weird sense of pop culture reference association. :P Great revisiting of this movie, though, glad to see you both get to this movie and this trilogy for that matter.

[@1classicgamer]

Just wanna say you guys are quickly becoming another ray of light for me and all the hard days I’ve been having lately. Keep up the awesome work ❤

HOLY FREAKING CRAP, I'm SOOO happy you guys finally reacted to this movie!!! I watched so many times and been waiting for you to watch it, feels like watching it for the first time again, only this time I'm not watching alone ❤. Thanks for reacting, guys! Really hope you guys react to the sequel soon, it's a date!😊 I guarantee you guys will LOVE it!!!

[@shmick6079]

This is possibly the best Batman movie ever made… if not it’s absolutely in the conversation.

[@alfiefletcher7513]

This is what I love about Christopher Nolan's work, he insists on authenticity and that really is reflected in what you see in his films which is one of the many reasons he is one of the greatest directors of our time
