In the comments, make sure to let me know your favorite Batman movie and why. Also, stay tuned for more Bat-content on the way! Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel!

13:43 "Just a little tape, and a lot of patience, makes all the difference!" that single little line made me laugh hard in the theater. Also 21:16 I just love how the crowd had all sorts of produce just ready to go under the off chance that Penguin would say something that would call for that.

Every time I watch Batman Begins the more I love it. Still Dark Knight is my favorite but Begins... its getting there. Thank you for the recap. You got yourself a new sub. Would love to see long recaps like this for other movie franchises.

[@robertlogan5354]

i still suspect that nolan and goyer's initial inspiration for that was a lone delivered by jack nicholson in the 89 film; 'where does he get those wonderful toys?'

[@user-bq5fr9zt7n]

[@veryveryindecisive]

I will always love the fact that there is a Batman character named Shreck. It would be even better if it was spelled like the green ogre’s name

[@NoCountryforBadMovies]

Well that character was named after the famous actor…

[@--Fish]

I really enjoyed this. Perfect video, thanks for making this. Will you or do you have plans to do a similar one for the Superman movies?

[@OneTakeVids]

Thank you! Unfortunately, it's unlikely I can do another one like this in the DC-space. WB has gotten VERY aggressive with copyright claims. I actually tried to upload a new version of this video to include "The Batman" and they were fine with "The Batman" footage, but it was near impossible to upload any footage at all for previous movies. Sadly, that means no Superman recap. But, there are definitely more timeline/recap videos in the works (next up is probably Alien/Predator and maybe X-Men after that + always open to suggestion!)

Looking at Clooney's creation, one gets the impression that it is not Bruce Wayne who is under the Batman costume, but Clooney.

[@TrulyMorningstar]

My favorite are “The Batman begins” and “The Dark Knight”. It’s unfortunate that Ledger overdosed, he would have made a great enemy if he didn’t die. Unless the movies were gonna be canceled either way.

[@Oldschool1943]

Nolan's TDK movies were always intended as a trilogy its the reason why bale and nolan refused to return for a dark knight 4 also ledger was the main villain in tdk film so i don't know what u mean by: " he would have made a great enemy if he didn’t die. Unless the movies were gonna be canceled either way." what do u mean? it was always intended to be 3 films since day 1 after the success of batman begins. now if heath wanted to be in more movies he would've reprised his role as joker for the animated film Batman: Gotham Knight which is a loose tie in between batman begins and the dark knight but that never happend and Nolan never acknowledge the animated film anyway. it pretty much got decanonized since nolan dismissed the events from that animated film, so it wouldn't matter anyway and if nolan wanted to do more we've would had abunch of spinoffs and extended cuts that would've leave room for future sequels. however their was a rumor that heath was gonna have a cameo in TDKR but since he died they removed all references of heath's joker to honor him but there was never gonna be more then 3 for tdk films either way.

I love the part in 1989 Batman where "you killed my parents, you made me first": I never saw it like that before, it went over my head as a child. 1:09:14 - I am pretty sure that is meant to be the man who hanged in the previous scene, same man who asks "whats the difference between you and me?" at the start of the film

The fact that people openly objected to Batfleck being a killer....while simultaneously praising Michael Keatons Batman(who's practically a serial killer by comparison) has always confused me. .. Especially since the No Killing Rule is pretty much a universal superhero trope.
