I love how from beginning to end, in all three movies, Lucius never once refers to Bruce as Batman when they speak to one another. Compartmentalization with well-defined boundaries was how he balanced his dedication and commitment within Bruce's two worlds.

[@thestrong2401]

In the Nolan trilogy they make it clear that Batman is just a symbol, Bruce doesn't identify himself as Batman but rather he uses that persona to be incorruptible and invincible at the eyes of his enemies. He says that many times and also that he didn't want to be Batman forever since he wanted to have a life outside the cave with Rachel first and then is able to do that with Selina. Also if you notice unlike in many other superhero movies in the end credits there's no "Bruce Wayne/Batman" (no real identity slash secret identity) just "Bruce Wayne" when he's credited.

I know this is kind of random but I feel like Christian bales Batman would be a great character in the movie saving Private Ryan. The mentality that his Batman has when getting into such dangerous situations. I feel he would do great in that film. He reminds me of Jackson. I know Batman doesn’t say quotes from the bible when fighting and killing his enemies or he doesn’t a kiss a Christian cross necklace right before he fights but the strong bravery his Batman has and private Jackson has I think is very similar.

The fighting is also far more real, people get tired and don't move around like a hamster on drugs but like proper cage fight / brawl style, i.e. as humans do.

@@Zzyzzyzzs I get that. I personally don't like it when movies use Cantonese characters to speak Mandarin. Especially if the setting is in Hong Kong and theres Mandarin speakers. I'm not a fan

2:57 the most Batman-y shot of all time. Just dragging a dude and knocking out another without even trying

I love how Batman doesn't say a word in this scene. He's not here to talk. He's here to fucking get him.
