[@leedog396]

Poor Mary was living the dream with a romance at the end. Then Katie just shot it dead. LOL Your reactions are always fun to watch. 🙂

[@wampatan9]

Personally I'm glad there wasn't a romance at the end. I've always hated her character for slapping Bruce. Raising a hand against a traumatized individual is just disgusting. If the roles were reversed and Bruce had slapped her, it would have been equally distasteful.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

@@wampatan9 Granted, I don't think Katie Holmes was strong enough of an actor to have made some of those moments work. It's a shame Nolan didn't cast Maggie Gyllenhaal from the start.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Amazing. Everyone recognizes young Joffrey.

[@roycebracket1010]

To the editor: your work is greatly appreciated

[@SirHenryMaximo]

30:18 Yeah, studying the idea of justice in Law school breaks a lot of our assumptions.

[@robertkramer2271]

It's so funny to watch someone who's not familiar with Batman's origins and villains.

[@Donald_Ducks_Brother]

keep it up! Love your videos.

[@xbatx69]

Excited for your excitement of these movies. Will now patiently wait in the shadows for the next two in the series.

[@srrizo69]

Hi! Please react to the two Tim Burton's Batman movies :)

Can’t wait!

Haha, this one is the perfect example of "If you thought the FIRST one was good..."

[@frenchynoob]

Id argue this one is better than the next one. I know I am FAR in the minority...

[@lordmortarius538]

@@ingibingi2000 Agreed, in the next two he sounds like he's trying too damn hard.

[@Blackstaralpha]

​@@lordmortarius538 Its mostly the perfomance of Heath Ledger that made the second movie so good. Everyone else is still doing a good job but the Joker character was just so on point.

[@MrZampanov]

hahahaha that edit with all the villains he played and you picking one that isn't him is hilarious - don't worry it probably happens to him more than most because most people don't recognize him between performances. He's too chameleon.

[@BeeWhistler]

Oldman is a gift. Chameleon is the best description, isn't it? He becomes what he wants.

[@YoonbeenPark]

Great editing too XD

[@dirtyhawkstv1575]

He's the most Chameleonist actor in the world.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Clearly you knew at least a _little_ more about Batman than you thought: you knew his 1960s T.V. show's theme song!

[@mahadaalvi]

To be fair, kids ran around the playground singing in every child’s 2nd grade recess 💁🏻‍♂️

[@roycebracket1010]

It's so rare nowadays, seeing someone who's into movies but doesn't know Batman's origin story. edit: Alright let me rephrase since some of you seem to take the comment section of a reaction video so seriously. "I find it surprising that a 20-something content creator who's been doing this for a while now and has seen other superhero related stuff has never heard of Batman's origin's story". ffs.

[@adoubledg]

My mom knows who Batman is but has no idea the origin lol it’s not that uncommon fyi she loves movies

[@StarkRG]

How about someone who knows the Joker but not Batman?

[@BeeWhistler]

@@StarkRG That was the one that blew my mind. Not shaming her in any way for it, of course, but it was just extraordinary to hear someone say they didn't realize the Joker was part of the universe containing Batman. Batman's arch-nemesis. She came at the story from a completely different direction than pretty much anyone who watched the video and it was pretty interesting to discover that was possible.

[@karanbirsinghbhullar]

this is exactly why they gotta kill bats parents in every movie

[@fampoo8293]

What? That's not rare at all lol what's much more likely the case is you just mostly know kids in their 20s OR like-minded individuals to yourself, and it's skewing your perception of the actual statistics

[@Rickhorse1]

Funny story - Nolan wanted Gary Oldman to play "Ras Al Gul" the villain, but Gary was at a point in his life where he began thinking of his kids & almost all of his parts were weird, crazy or villains. He wanted to play a good guy so they could see Dad more like his real personality. Nolan admired him so much as an actor that he agreed & got Liam Neeson for the bad guy.

[@Logan_Baron]

"I know that Batman is a Batman" Dang she figured out his secret identity fast.

[@scrrin]

But Man-Bat is a batman, too. Mhh ...

[@lordmortarius538]

@@scrrin What about Batmanuel? :P

[@user-lp1rf7jh2h]

He was Bateman

[@fakecubed]

[@haven.lights]

Cillian Murphy is my favorite actor, he's phenomenal in anything he's in and damn I love his portrayal of Scarecrow. Best part of the movie for me, personally.

[@nathanielpreston5377]

Fun fact: Cillian Murphy auditioned for the part of Batman and Christopher Nolan was so impressed with his audition that he decided to cast him as the Scarecrow instead.

[@ZacharyFinch]

Yes!!! This trilogy is gonna be so hype.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

The Nolan Bat-trilogy is its own thing. Not part of the DCEU. And... thought the DCEU was promising at first (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman)... it has since become a complete trainwreck and probably isn't worth getting into.

[@M3TR01DFANBOY]

The snyder trilogy is absolutely worth watching

[@michaelevans1578]

I really enjoyed this reaction. Watching someone who is not very familiar with Batman start the journey WITH THIS MOVIE is a real treat. Can't wait for the next. We are in for a ride.

[@grumpyboomer61]

This was fun! Can't wait for the next installment. I've also come to realize how much I need a collection of the sounds Mari makes during the movies. They would be great as alerts on my phone.

[@peep-pow]

I'd like to create a song with that soundpack

[@blueroninstudios]

Alfred Pennyworth and Lucius Fox feature pretty heavily in the comics stories as two of Batman and Bruce Wayne's best allies both in crime-fighting in and out of the Batman suit. Alfred's always been cast in all the Batman films by good actors, but I was relieved when they said Lucius was going to be a big part of the story and that Morgan Freeman was going to play him.

[@technopirate304]

Bruce would have died so many times without Alfred.

[@plectrumura]

FYI, that was indeed Joffrey. It was his first credited role, if memory serves.

[@brewdaly1873]

Some directors have certain actors that they always like to work with. You'll notice that Nolan especially likes working with Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy, and a few others.

[@jack_rabbit]

i'll be honest w you, the joaquin phoenix joker movie is so much it's own version of things, you don't need to have seen anything else. that said... the dark knight is considered by many to contain the best film version of the joker ever. i think both of those films are equally good in different ways.

[@eolsunder]

i agree its a good movie, but i do suggest watching the 2nd batman movie, then watch the "Joker" movie, those 2 back to back would be amazing.

[@tomk.williams1186]

I'm not a superhero movie fan but the dark Knight is one of my favourite movies... which says a lot

[@bigdream_dreambig]

27:03 "Damn. He's, uh, doing a lot of damage." I'm glad I'm not the only one whose first thought when seeing that scene is about the roof repairs! 😝

[@hedruum]

I had so much fun watching this just thinking how much The Dark Knight is going to blow your mind.

[@BeeWhistler]

I've still got to find the courage to watch it. I saw the clip with the "disappearing pencil trick" and was so skeeved out that I've never been able to bring myself to watch the movie.

[@odiumgeneris729]

12:43 Mary: "I do like his...morality...at this point." Me: (Gives the side-eye to Zack Snyder and all the people that want Batman to be the Punisher).

[@StCerberusEngel]

Not to mention the people who think Bruce doesn't do anything to improve Gotham outside of beating up thugs and just sits on his fortunes.

[@Goodpanda1307]

Mary, you should watch ‘Empire of the Sun’…

[@Chilipotamus]

The editing on this episode was too tier, props to your editor

[@bebsandbubs2730]

The editing on this one made me laugh so much! Great vid Mary (and editor)!

[@parissimons6385]

When I was a young kid in the 1960s, the Adam West "Batman" series first hit the TV airwaves, and it left its mark. Love those transition effects and music sounds in Mary's Batman Begins reaction!

[@bebsandbubs2730]

@@parissimons6385 Born in the 60's myself, perhaps that's why I enjoyed those transitions as well.

[@Robett11]

The trilogy has really good actors choices

[@eighthdoctor]

4:18-4:26 - A+++ music. 👏🏻😂 That takes me back! I think _The Dark Knight_ is most people's favourite in this trilogy and it is a fantastic film (they all are imo) but I really think this one is so underrated. 😁

[@theblackestvoid]

Best superhero movie. The filmmaking and adaptation of Batman is perfect. The tone is on point. Also the score was done by Hans Zimmer AND James Newton Howard.

[@Hoigwai]

The movie "Joker" is not canon to the origin of the Joker. The depiction of Joker in the Nolan Dark Knight series is more correct in that we never really found out who the Joker is or was. Various movies have said who he was but the comics never did reveal his origin or even really a hint of how he became the Joker.

[@victorsixtythree]

3:48 - Whoa! I just noticed the dripping faucet in the background there. I know water imagery/symbolism plays a big part in the Nolan Batman films (especially water in the Batcave, and here we have the beginnings of Batman and a dripping faucet in a very cave-like prison cell) but I didn't realize it started right off the...uh...BAT.

[@noerangel1318]

I can't tell you how happy your reactions make me and especially how much I loved that you enjoyed Batman Begins. My fave Batman movies, they really do have it all: Cast, director, composer, cinematographers.... I can't wait for you to watch the rest, and I think this came out without a hitch, but you know what makes me the happiest? That you're having a well-deserved vacation with your bf. I hope you're having tons of fun, Mary. :)

[@Carabas72]

The Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix is not part of any continuity or shared universe, and has zero connections to any other movies. The three Nolan Batman films likewise are a trilogy that stands on its own and has no connections to or shared continuity with any of the older or newer Batman films.

[@mikepatton6589]

This is by far the best Batman. All 3 movies are superb! Can’t wait for your reactions for 2 and 3

[@matthewmckibben]

The sequel is legitimately one of the all time great movies, comicbook or otherwise.

[@jeremyodwyer9232]

The recent Joker movie isn't really connected to any of the other movies and it's kind of it's own thing. It's more of an 'art house' deconstruction of what kind of society would lead to a Joker in the first place so in that sense it's not even really a 'superhero' movie. What I'm saying is that you can really watch it any time you want and it's not going to spoil or impact you're viewing of any of the other movies. It's doing it's own thing. Loved your Batman reaction!

[@leandrodrabenche]

Correct. JOKER movie with Joaquin Phoenix it's barely connected to Batman Universe. Also Justice League Batman sucks if you look at both. I guess it should be this trilogy and wait for the new batman movie.

[@genida951]

30:12 - Bruce left Ra's al Ghul under a pile of rubble, not knowing it was an actor and a trick. But he did intend to do just that, so the real Ra's took it personally since it'd been meant to be him. It was only the secret trick that kept the real Ra's alive, but Bruce didn't know that at the time. He only saved someone pretending to be his friend and mentor. So Ra's returns the favor. I'm constantly surprised this wooshes over so many people's heads...

[@jeffthompson9622]

This movie includes at least 3 Oscar winners. Michael Caine, Tom Wilkinson, and after this movie, Christian Bale was awarded one for The Fighter. Morgan Freeman should have one, but I don't recall that he does. Rutger Haier was a very capable actor, also.

[@kenlangston3451]

Morgan Freeman won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Million Dollar Baby and has four other nominations.

[@jeffthompson9622]

@@kenlangston3451 Thanks. I needed that reminder. He certainly deserves it. So at least four past and future Oscar winners acted in Batman Begins.

[@Stevarooni]

"Well, they're European." [Mary] ...and I took that personally.

[@joeldykman7591]

Ra's Al-Ghul translates from Arabic to "head of the demon". In the comic, Ra's is semi-immortal as whenever he his close to death or even sometimes dead, he can be revived via a secret chemical wellspring called the Lazarus pit that he as the head of the league of shadows has sole authority over. Considering how Nolan's take on Batman is meant to be a far more gritty, down to earth rendition of the story, they chose to omit the supernatural stuff. There's also a bit of a debate over the pronunciation of Ra's Al-Ghul, while the Arabic pronunciation is R-aa-s, the same word in Hebrew is pronounced 'R-aych'. There doesn't seem to be an official pronunciation, so its used interchangeably.

[@antonioherrera1324]

I loved ur reaction to Batman Begins 😊🥺

[@cendererol]

Michael Caine is the best Alfred ever for me among all Batman movies. 22:06 yes he is Joffrey. Good catch Mary.

[@ogrejehosephatt37]

The movie Joker is a totally standalone movie. The movie is it's own take on the Joker's story. Dark Knight's Joker is, far and away, my favorite live-action Joker.

[@dmdc5719]

Joker is one of my favorite villains ever. The Dark Knight Joker is my favorite take on Joker. Haven't seen Joker yet, I imagine Joaquin Phoenix is just fantastic in that role. I just didnt' think that movie story would be my cup of tea. But I am going to try and see it some time. I really enjoyed Jack Nicholson as Joker in Tim Burton's Batman movie. But Heath Ledger's Joker is my favorite take on that character.

[@MravacKid]

When a movie has Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Rutger Hauer and Liam Neeson in it, you know it's gonna be a good one. :)

[@MravacKid]

Damn, I forgot Morgan Freeman... there's another legend. Man, I forget how star-studded this movie is.

[@MisterT50000]

Dunkirk is my favourite Nolan film.

[@cydrych]

Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy and it is my favorite performance of his. He is brilliant in everything he does.

[@senshix]

U should start them while u r away "a longtime ago in a galaxy far away "

[@SGlitz]

The Tim Burton 1989 movie started The Dark Knight but the sequels in that series are not good. But came along Batman: The Animated Series early 1990s. A Cartoon series that changed the whole industry. They are the predecessors to this movie.

[@donaldball3245]

Batman Returns (the second Burton movie) is, in my opinion, better than the first one. Then Joel Schumacher took over, and the movies went to pot... Batman Forever and Batman and Robin can be left on the shelf to rot...

[@chrisswanson8666]

you are going into the dark knight without knowing the joker? oh my sweet summer child lol..........enjoy in a way i wish i could re experience, the 1st time...............the dark knight is one of the best movies of last 25 years, REGARDLESS OF GENRE

[@quark12000]

I would advise skipping the "Joker" movie, Mary. The Heath Ledger Joker outshines the Joaquin Phoenix version in every way.

[@jflaugher]

Mary, the Joker is Batman's #1 arch-enemy. There are a lot of villains in Batman's rogues' gallery, but the Joker is Batman's true nemesis.

[@Angela-bm3lp]

The actor who plays Scarecrow is Cillian Murphy. His movies Red Eye and 28 Days Later are really good and his TV show Peaky Blinders is great. You should check them out.

[@crush41gb]

That was Wollaton Hall not Highclere/Downton but, there are a couple people in here from Downton. The guy he gives his jacket to is the Russian Violet had feelings for and one of Wayne's board members is Michael Gregson , the guy who was killed by brown shirts that Edith had a child with. This is my Batman trilogy. I think I just realized Rachel slaps him twice. One for each parent.

[@MrSuperHappyPants]

Because of the kitty cat intermission at 32 minutes, SUBSCRIBED. Also Memento is really good if you haven't got around to it yet.

[@p.mc.4449]

You should see Sir Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman in Going Out In Style. And If you haven't seen it, yet, I highly Recommend Second Hand Lions. After you finish this trilogy.

[@kimpossible2272]

You should check out the Netflix show "Arcane" it's AWESOME.

[@maul42]

A couple other faces you started to recognize, yes that was Joffrey and Gordon you likely know as Sirius Black. Joe Chill is the Night King in game of thrones and the exec who fires Lucious... I forget if you've seen Blade Runner or not, but Rutger Haur was in some legendary 80s films.

[@mccpcorn2000]

Michael Caine has the best zingers in this film.

[@xoler2167]

Just FYI Rachel will be played by a different actress because Tom Cruise is a control freak and wouldn’t allow Katie Holmes to be in The Dark Knight.

[@xenoalways1474]

FYI Mary. I don't if anyone told you this. But when you get to Inception, and you see a building that looks familiar. Just remember, it's the League of Shadow's building you asked if it were real in this movie 😂

[@brewdaly1873]

So, this movie came out before the MCU started. This trilogy is stand alone and doesn't really have any impact on the other DC movies. Joker is also a stand alone movie. DC didn't have as much success establishing their interconnected universe as Marvel, so you can watch a lot of their movies (Joker, Shazam, Wonder Woman, The Suicide Squad etc.) without watching others. Some, especially like the first Suicide Squad, may not be worth filming a reaction to, but it never hurts to watch and form your own opinion on them.

[@adriancastillo1957]

Oh boy are you in for a treat with the next movie!! And yes, the Joker is Batman’s number 1 foe... The ultimate Batman villain...

The Joker is a standalone film, you dont need to know anything about it before you watch it. It's in its own "universe".

[@romero329]

You don't need to have seen The Dark Knight trilogy first to see Joker as the films are not in same continuity / universe. That being said, you might as well finish the trilogy first and then watch Joker later.

[@eolsunder]

yes the temple isn't a real place, just a film miniature with cgi, not a real place. "we had bats in my dorm room" you really shouldn't talk about the other dorm girls like that, it's not nice.

In my younger days, I had a job to remove bats from buildings. I have been in very tight enclosures with hundreds of bats at once.
