“I never said Thank You…” “And you’ll never have too.” One of the most underrated lines in cinema history. Inspires selflessness, and integrity without requiring recognition.

[@Greeny1308]

Best line of the film

[@exquisitelemonade3039]

Vindication for Gordon too, great moment for him. He's been rewarded for his years of honesty and goodwill by becoming the confidante of a real leader.

[@razkable]

Makes sense considering he respects gordon trusts his judgement and he helped remind him that the world had not ended...

[@razkable]

Batman wears a mask cause he does not care about the praise it's what he feels he must do out of repentance and his duty to punish himself due to killing his parents in an indirect way due to his fears...he hides away behind it cause the true bruce died long ago and now he's just tormented and joyless

[@ShatteredTrousers]

Cillian Murphy saying "He's here... the bat man." makes me grin every single time!

[@razkable]

My diagnosis you look like a man who takes himself way too seriously sit down lay back have a drink

[@kamtheman106]

“He’s here…” “Who?” “The bAtMaN.”

[@michaelccozens]

He's really good in the role, in all 3 movies. It's a subtler kind of performance, but I really like it.

[@JoaoMASilva]

@@michaelccozens "that's not my diagnosis "

[@darthphayde508]

After the disaster that was 1997s Batman & Robin, I was cautiously optimistic for Batman Begins, and it didn't let me down, saw it twice the first day it was out.

[@existenceisrelative]

What killed the dinosaurs?

[@theassortedhobbyist]

@@existenceisrelative THE ICE AGE!!!

[@carlossaraiva8213]

I saw it twice in the theaters and then 5 on DVD. By the time the movie came out i had seen tow of Nolan's previous films, Memento and Insomnia so i had good hopes for the movie but was not ready for how damn good it was. This movie was one of my most satisfatory film experiences in my life.

[@Steve_Blackwood]

“Batman is cool!” Yes. As my 8-year-old self discovered decades ago. 😂 Loved your reaction… So cool to experience it anew again.

[@johndoe6260]

If you didn't think Batman was cool when you were a kid you aren't a member of the human species, you are an alien

[@xoler2167]

Here’s some facts to help guide you on Batman: He’s always blamed himself for his parents death and part of the reason of why he became Batman is because he promised them he would avenge their deaths by dedicating his life to protecting the city no matter what it cost him. In this case, it cost him happiness because he purposely reminds himself of the pain he feels from their deaths and uses that against the criminals he faces and he really doesn’t allow himself to be truly happy. In fact, one of the animated movies showed him finding a woman and falling in love but he felt so conflicted about it because he was about to become Batman but knew he couldn’t if he chose to be with the one he loves and he went to his parents grave and started crying and begging them to tell him it’s okay to be happy because he feels like his parents would want him to avenge their deaths no matter the cost when we know that isn’t the case. And referring to this trilogy, Nolan took a more realistic approach to the character to where it’s still comic accurate but made it more grounded and more possible if someone were to try this in real life but it still works and stays true to who Batman is. For The Dark Knight, Rachel is played by a new actress just FYI and you’ll be left in amazement by the joker

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Nolans Batman is not even close to being comic accurate. They basically turned him into a boxer in a batsuit.

[@tehdipstick]

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Yeah, the Nolan movies are great movies, but they're far from comic book-accurate.

[@michaelccozens]

@@tehdipstick I mean, which comics we talking about? Batman's been a lot of things.

[@tehdipstick]

@@michaelccozens Most of DC's comic book titles are all part of the same shared mainline universe, except for a few outliers like Elseworlds, The Batman Adventures, etc. Nolan's movies stray heavily from the comic books when it comes to both characters and the setting. His movies explore themes and concepts and social commentary more than they try to be accurate depictions.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

@@tehdipstick The Nolan Films are mainly based on "Year One","Year Two","The Man Who Falls","The Long Halloween","Detective Comics Number 27"(The first appearance of Batman(Then called "The Bat-Man" hence Crane referring to him that way in the Arkham warehouse fight scene and Commissioner Gordon),"Batman #1"(The first appearance of The Joker and Catwoman then simply called "The Cat"),"No Man`s Land","The Killing Joke","Joker`s Five-Way Revenge","Dark Knight Returns"(Which the Tumbler`s design was based on the more tanklike Batmobile of that Graphic Novel reflecting Batman viewing himself as "A soldier against crime and corruption")"Knightfall",the training scenes were from various comics as well as the class war elements reflecting "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens as well as Mr. Nolan`s questionable view of the Occupy Movement which isn`t surprising considering his equally questionable take on public surveillance in the name of counterterrorism during the Iraq War and using a "noble lie" to enforce a false peace and order in the previous film(Totally not problematic historically, that notion!) , and "Bane of the Demon".

[@DanielRamosMilitaryWiz]

Wow, someone completely new to this Batman universe. Since his comic book debut in 1939, Bruce Wayne/Batman has gone through different variations in media depending on the time period, but I always enjoy the darker and more grittier interpretations like this one. Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is amazing, so I can’t wait for you to see the next two films. I also love Batman (1989) directed by Tim Burton. It stars Michael Keaton as Batman, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. That’s a great film too, and I would definitely recommend that as well.

[@josealmeida2842]

Fun Fact: Morgan Freemen used to be on a children’s show called the electric company with Rita Moreno. Because of that show, I was able to read at a third grade level at age five! They even did a Spider Man adventure in every episode. Also the “I’m Batman” phrase was made popular by the 1989 movie staring Michael Keaton, which is a masterpiece in its own right.

[@leroylowe5921]

HEY YOU GUYS!!!

[@W0NK042]

@@leroylowe5921 - Schwing!

[@Luka1180]

The opera Bruce and his family went to is literally titled "The Bat" in German, so yeah, he thought of bats. 'Cause that's what the actors were suposed to be :)

[@MrGpschmidt]

It's not who I am underneath, but what I *do* that defines me. Nolan's epic origin story leads to one of the greatest franchises ever. Great reactions Ads - cute pup too.

[@Acorn_Anomaly]

17:50 "I know it's just Batman, but eaaaAAAGHHHHH" Heh, if you ever do video games, I recommend the Batman Arkham series, starting with Batman Arkham Asylum. That feeling you get, of Batman slowly stalking each person down? You get to _live_ that. It really makes you feel like the goddamned Batman.

[@YoonbeenPark]

Loved how you slowly/begrudgingly admitted Batman was cool XD. And how you loved his suit. You're well on your way to nerd out with all us Batman fans =D

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Exactly. Bruces biggest fear was indeed Bats. That gave him the idea to adopt Bats as as the personification of fear. He used Bats to scare criminals.

[@razkable]

And that fear of bats due to falling in the cavern undernearth the house in a way killed his parents cause he was scarred of a performance that reminded him of bats his paranoia fear which led to them taking him out and getting shot..in the og comics it was not this random bat performance it was a more known play I think

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

@@razkable I guess if you want to interpret it that way too

[@tysonsflag]

the flower/mountain is a metaphor for holding on to something fragile and delicate (a sense of justice) in a hostile, unforgiving environment (Gotham)

[@existenceisrelative]

plus is scary drugs.

[@FutureBoy85]

Nice! Can't wait for you to watch the Dark Knight! 🦇

[@lelefarmtown364]

Your reaction was the same as mine " wow Batman is cool...he's really cool...yeah Batman's cool "

[@rabooey]

Coolest scene in the whole trilogy, Scarecrow looking at Batman under the influence of his own drug. So freaking cool.

[@jcflores4656]

Welcome to being a Batman fan the best superhero in my opinion 😃 looking forward to seeing you react to the rest of the trilogy 🔥

[@tobiahvega7611]

Great video! Loved your reactions!! Also finally had my questions answered regarding where the warm hued light was coming from ☺️

[@dsc5754]

I swear I've watched so many freaking movies I never would have otherwise watched thanks to Addie 💯 #proudmemberoftheAteam #proudADDIEaddict

[@georger.3489]

Your become better and better. This one has the perfect combination of movie parts and your reaction. Excellent 👍

[@christopheryochum3602]

Hi Addie. Any way you could bring the volume of the movie up closer to your personal volume. When I turned the sound up so I could almost hear the movie, you were, well...EXTREMELY CLEAR!!! :) I usually turn on the captioning but it wasn't available for your video. Thanks much, and do whatever you think you wish. I know there are reasons that reactors do what they do, to fend off the YT overseers. Cheers! :)

[@krisbeal8173]

Often times, to avoid copyright issues, reactors have to keep the volume down on whatever they are watching. I know some have the volume higher, but she is doing her best to get these out without issue.

[@chrispittman8854]

Taking the flower to the top of the mountain is very similar to getting off the bus at the receiving barracks at Parris Island. LOL!

[@theish79]

"I'm scared of snakes, but I'm not going to become Snake Woman." You've just disappointed your entire fan base. It was a great experience to see you react to this movie when you had no knowledge of Batman's story at all. It's such a unique experience because I feel that most people know his origin story, even without following his comics or movies - it's so engrained in pop culture.

[@amralyn6103]

You react to all my favorites movies so far ! Thank you for your reaction. I'm so happy you enjoyed this movie (1st of 3) The best batman movie to me, with depth and drama.

[@SKiZ0TT]

One of the best trilogies ever, glad to watch this journey!

[@blackswan7568]

18:16 your synced gasp with that guy was perfect🤣

[@BigGator5]

If you liked this movie, the next one is the best of this trilogy. 😎 Fun Fact: While shooting on the streets of Chicago, a person accidentally crashed into the Batmobile. The driver was apparently drunk, and said he hit the car in a state of panic, believing the Dark Knight's vehicle to be an invading alien spacecraft.

[@oliverconway6960]

Now that's an interesting story.

[@HolyRomanEmperor90]

You’re going to love The Dark Knight. If you ask me, it’s not only one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and one of the greatest sequels ever made, but one of the greatest films ever made. Honestly, I thought The Dark Knight Rises was a let down, but you might like it. Also, if you want to get more into Batman, then definitely check out the comics. I specifically recommend Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween.

[@Scarletraven87]

The flower, is nothing. The mountain, is EVERYTHING

[@passionsquietrage]

One thing I loved about this trilogy(besides the actor performances) is that Nolan showed what it would realistically take for Bruce Wayne to be Batman.

[@joshualally2883]

It's not flying, it's falling with style.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Batman is terrifying... That's the idea. To scare the shit out of criminals

[@MirrorDomains]

Awesome! I love Batman movies.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Welcome to the Super Hero world!! Get ready for a long and wild ride!!

[@geoffkime5148]

I love your reactions. Even if you don't know anything about Batman you got the gist of it better than almost anyone else I've seen doing a reaction to this kind of thing.

[@ShatteredTrousers]

I'm really enjoying your reaction videos, since stumbling across your channel a few days ago. You've got a subscriber in me! 😁👍

[@liteney]

Addie reviews the best Batman movie ever, and Buddy makes another appearance. Yay :)

[@NecropsY1]

great reaction loved it :)

[@bartlebyscriviner6456]

I like how you can find the exact second (17:49) she starts simping for Batman XD "OK...Batmans pretty cool" And a fan is born lol. Great review btw. Would really love to see you do Dark Knight soon :) keep up the great work!

[@chocomog9567]

Thanks for having your channel, I enjoy your reactions. Here are a few recommendations, 2 80;s comedies Airplane and Princess Bride, and I also recommend Firefly (only 14 episodes) and its movie Serenity

[@DarkPaladin24]

My favorite part of reactors seeing this movie is when they get to this part. "Where are you?!" "Here." "AHHH!"

[@karlsmith2570]

"Omigosh, There's So Many Bats" Well, Alfred did say that he'd believed they roosted somewhere on the grounds And now you know where

[@user-sm9fb5oq9t]

The sounds you make in this reaction…. Adorable

[@jacksonmay153]

I recommend THE THING and THE FLY.

[@karlsmith2570]

Fun Fact for you, Addie: The kid that Rachel was protecting would later go on to play Joffrey Baratheon on "Game Of Thrones"

[@vetarlittorf1807]

In the comics, Ra's Al Ghul was Arabian. I normally don't approve of whitewashing but I can make an exception when played by Liam Neeson. Also, could you react to Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

[@leosarmiento4823]

A great start to what many consider to be one of the best versions of the Batman mythos.

[@robertzander9723]

One of the best trilogies ever. You gonna enjoy that for sure 🐱

[@Sherman1fan]

Wonderful reaction! Thanks for sharing and see you in the next one! Subscribed!

[@wfly81]

There's nothing particularly special about the flower. Flowers are just very delicate, and he has to keep it intact while climbing a mountain.

[@tonydaza8504]

You better check out the dark knight because it’s in the top list of one of the best sequels of all time

[@larrytodaro8460]

One of the best MOVIES of all time.

[@smokeshivgaming9150]

"That poor child!" Ma'am that is Joffrey Baratheon :D

[@charlesballard5251]

I just watched your reaction to "The Martian" and checked to see what else you had. I have now watched this one. I am now subscribed. I look forward to seeing more of your vids.

[@billy4god]

[@midnightburner]

Excited to get home to watch :) ❤️

Batman IS cool. 😎 Nice one, Addie!

God, I effin love Batman. And Alfred is the OG triple OG. The epitome of ride or die.

[@drewsaad3948]

Alfred is definitely the main character I absolutely love this series, and I loved this reaction too

[@frankgowett8058]

Now this us why I LOVE BATMAN!

[@PatrickPrejusa]

you'll learn batman's one rule, he doesn't kill.

[@highstimulation2497]

"And ya always fear... what'cha don't understand." I think Falcone influenced batman with that sentence.

[@SandmanGotBeer]

Probably the most important trilogy from a cultural standpoint of the last 20 years right here.

[@nathancruz9172]

Can’t wait to see you watch the dark knight and it’s better than the first movie.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

You definitely need to see the next ones! Welcome to the "Dark Prince" of the Superhero genre! The Christopher Nolan films are excellent. You know, the Tim Burton films, Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) are really fun too! Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker are two big pluses of those films! Also Michelle Pfeiffer is amazing as Catwoman in "Returns"! Check them out!

[@StCerberusEngel]

Seconded!

[@smdias65]

Thank you, Addie. You made sense of something that's bothered me for years. 18:33 Whenever I watch this scene, I've been thinking, "wait, that's not the same coat. That one's old and ratty." I thought they just filmed the scene with the wrong coat. No, it's been seven years; it's become ratty since then. Duh.

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

Addie is a trip😀😀😀

[@PallyGames97]

“Poor child”. Lol you definitely haven’t seen Game of Thrones! He’s a menace in that show

[@avipinckney]

Fun fact: after the child experienced the trauma due to scarecrows gas he never recovered from the ptsd. The gas warped and twisted his mind and he spent his days in Arkham asylum. He would often be seen muttering to himself about lions and wolfs and dragons and incest.

[@scottstevens7639]

You’ve definitely started your Batman obsession in the right place. The Christopher Nolan trilogy is widely considered to be the Gold Standard. But be aware that Batman lore extends back decades. It all started with DC comics. There was also a super campy television series back in the ‘60’s. There have been animated series. There have been graphic novels. And of course dozens of movies. In fact a new one is coming out very soon with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne. Absolutely finish the Nolan trilogy. Just be aware there is a whole rabbit hole of material to explore depending on how much of a fan girl you ultimately become.

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

The little blonde haired kid who sees Batman on the fire escape is Joffrey from Game of Thrones.

[@Antjr612]

I decided to sub to patron. Watching as we speak!

[@Antjr612]

Didn’t even have to watch more then a minute of your KZbin!

[@bmw128racer]

One of the best, if not THE best, trilogy in movie history.

[@dreamer2260]

Awesome reaction haha. I was just the same when I watched it.

[@adityayadav-fq5lv]

Batman can't fly he just glides like flying foxes...and the car also can't fly...it just jumps for a short distance

[@BlackieNuff]

"Batman is being a frickin bat!" You mean a "BAT-ASS"! :-D

[@P-M-869]

People would dig a well and then line it so that the sides didn't collapse thus blocking the well.

[@witchking8497]

'Batman is terrifying.' Yes. In 99.9% of good portrayals he is exactly that. (0.1% variance because I am old enough that watching Batman '66 reruns on Sunday Morning while the folks visited their aunts and uncles is a cherished memory. Adam West wasn't Terrifying but he was cool. The exception that proves the rule.)

[@genarogilormino2139]

This is The Definitive Batman trilogy....

[@highstimulation2497]

"Three O Clock is pushing it." I slept till 2:30 today.

[@Rhodes84]

My wife totally hates it whenever Batman just disappears like that in every film lol

[@radicaladz]

Corridor Crew did a whole video on this. Apparently it's easier to do than you'd think.

[@razkable]

The reason chill killing his parents works best is cause it is a random bad timing accident that can occur to anyone making us feel it that much more real and bruce feeling more helpless cause it was not some cartoon super villain no one could do anything about...he was a random bum with a gun..simple as that...chilling isn't it....and bruce can't just kill him cause hes just some dude not a planned killing or anything low on his luck without power so he's sorta helpless and he did it on accident cause of a reflex due to the situation and Bruce's dad moving towards him...it's just a sad situation and created batman....out of guilt

[@thethesaxman23]

0:24 I love how she quotes the Joker and doesn’t even realize it yet!!

[@kingpin22s]

The 🐐 of batman movies. 👌

[@SandmanGotBeer]

Liam Neeson is the greatest mentor actor in cinematic history. He trained Batman and Anakin Skywalker

[@chefskiss6179]

Wonderful selection. Wonderful reaction vid. Thanks for that. I hope you give Superman (1978) a try some day :)

[@codyprice2616]

The Dark Knight Trilogy is the best Batman franchise. Heath Ledger’s performance in the Dark Knight is the best Joker performance ever, and also considered one of the best acting performances of all time period. Heath Ledger won the oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. The best Batman performance is still the original film Batman, Michael Keaton in the 1989 Batman.

[@michaelssigler]

Addie. You're awesome. : )

[@artistsofformula1]

@ADDIE cOUNTS-A QUICK FYI 28:02 SCENE BOY IS Joffrey from game of thrones.

[@danflashes7125]

Snakewoman would honestly be a pretty dope superhero, Addie.

[@Heegaherger]

Alfed is the hero of this movie." Ironically enough, an British army officer's orderly is called a batman. Alfred is to Bruce is what Sam Gamgee is to Frodo Baggins. And Sam Gamgee *is* the ideal of a batman.

[@greato80]

Watch Michael Keatons Batman and Batman Returns..also, there's a great animated movie called Batman:Mask of the Phantasm. Before Begins, Bale was was basically skin n bones for a role he played in Machinist..he had to gain like 50 to 60 lbs of weight n muscle for Batman pretty quickly. Bales breakout role though is American Psycho..a must watch.
