I love it when people are surprised or even shocked when Bruce Wayne's parents are killed. I feel like that is pretty much common knowledge even when you don't read the comics. Being the main part of his origin. But it's wonderful when reactors know absolutely nothing about it.

I agree that the TDK trilogy has better writing than the marvel movies. There's a reason why TDK is considered not just the best comic movie of all time, but one of the best movies of all time

[@fynnthefox9078]

Well, aside from the romance. Then again, Marvel can't always get that right either.

Bats has always been my favorite hero. Even as a kid i absolutely loved him.

Domi talking about how good the writing and dialogue is in this movie Made me The Happiest!!! Thank you for finally commenting about the dialogue because I love that too in movies. Especially in this film the dialogue mixed with the music score by Hans Zimmers makes this movie so emotional and deep. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@whatevernevermind8377]

Of all the reactions to this series, you guys are the best. Please make more together. The understanding of the profound meaning of every frame has some of my respect, which is saying more than I would for most of our species. Love from India.

This film was such a redemption after the disastrous Batman & Robin, this was the first and only film I ended up seeing this twice on opening day.

This trilogy is so good because it treats Bruce Wayne as an actual character and rounded person, which past movies and comics hadn't really done before this.

[@nickreacts6394]

YES, I really enjoy the amount of time spent exploring who Bruce Wayne actually was, and the things that drove and motivated him to become the Batman

@@nickreacts6394 It doesn't feel that way for The Dark Knight. Characters like Joker and Harvey Dent steal the show in TDK because they are more memorable than even batman/Bruce in that movie.

To this day this is still my favourite Batman film. Your comments on the writing really strike me as true. I’ve enjoyed many Marvel films but even Tony Stark who’s in his 50s talks like a meme addicted teenager. In Nolan’s films they speak to each other like adults with wit and poetry.

[@TheHulk2008]

Ras Al Ghul is very mysterious in fact that is his weapon is like Batman he lurks in the shadows.

This was so funny and great love seeing people's first time watching things. I think the first batman thing I ever saw was the cartoons then Micheal Keaton and so on and so forth. I had the dvd collection of the 90's movies still do.

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction :) I also watched the Michael Keaton Batman (and Batman Returns), those reactions will be coming out after the Dark Knight trilogy

[@alinac5512]

I think marvel movies get an undeserved bad rep "shallow", the writing is often excellent (even though maybe not quite as deep as this trilogy, good humor is also good writing and I cant even describe how hard "I love you 3000" hit me as someone who thankfully has amazing parents who I used to tell, and hear from, a similar thing every evening. Marvel still has character dept and development, conflicts and consistency. People are nowadays sadly blinded by Marvel fartigue and the flashy action scenes and forget all the amazing things Marvel movies have done.

[@Fozzik]

Nice to see her appreciate Nolan... I hope Domi gets to watch some more of his movies. He's the greatest.

[@victorsixtythree]

Just wanted to point out something I noticed recently (minor SPOILERS for those who haven't seen all three movies) - In that shot at about 4:05, there's an odd dripping faucet behind Bruce in the prison. It got me thinking a bit and I realized there's a motif of flowing water throughout the trilogy of movies, especially in the Batcave. I think it might have something to do with water as "the source" or "the inspiration" for Batman - a character that has a long tradition running back over 80 years. Tapping into the flow of water is like tapping into the tradition and mythology of Batman. In this movie about Batman's origins, the flow of water (in a prison that looks very much like the Batcave) starts as a mere trickle. And if you think about the last shot of the third film [SPOILER] - Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the Batcave stands on a slab rising out of the water as the tradition is passed to a "new" Batman.

[@biguy617]

In the comics Ra’s is a immortal who is kept alive with the Lazarus pits. He is in the Batman animated series.

[@67Daidalos]

18:40 : It's not just the bicep strength though. It's also the pectorals and shoulders muscles. But yeah, not many people could lift smthg like 80-90 kg one handed like that.

[@nickreacts6394]

Good point! And he's Batman, so I don't mind, I was just imagining trying to do that and yeah... no way I could haha

[@kyanoang3l0_old]

I love that what would become the Batcave was a part of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape from the pro-slavery south. Alfred in this movie is most likely referring to Solomon, Bruce's 4th great-grandfather in the comics. In the comics (Shadow of the Bat #45), Solomon was a prominent judge who commissioned a young architect to reform most of Gotham. He built the Wayne Manor on top of the future Batcave to conceal the railroad and their abolitionist activities. His brother Joshua was later hunted down by bounty hunters for protecting one of the slaves-while wearing a cowboy hat, bandana, and cape, using the darkness to his advantage, and having a no-killing code, i.e. a cowboy Batman. It's as if being a superhero runs in the family.

[@smily4]

Thor "...this is the first Batman film I saw" Lucky, I got Batman Forever and Batman & Robin when I was a kid. You got a much better movie to start your Batman love with. Loved this when I was 19, it was everything that Forever and Robin weren't, saw it three times in theaters.

[@Philbert-s2c]

Since my first batman was the Adam West 1966 version, you both have me beat.

[@Nexusofgeek]

The best Batman is animated on the Animated series of the 90s these movies all pale in comparison

[@blitzgirl6522]

I was a little kid when those films came out, so I grew up watching them on TV and on VHS/DVD. I remember Superman: The Movie being the big "Oh look, superhero films CAN have weight to them!" moment for me. Then Iron Man 1 came out, then Batman Begins. Loved how grounded those films felt.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Mine was 1989.

[@HeyCousin]

Does the line "sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke" make sense? Surely if they were actually fighting he would have killed Ra's and therefore wouldn't have to worry about Ra's breaking the ice below his feet? What am I missing?

[@zetsupetsu6051]

Curious if you guys are going to watch the new Batman currently showing in theaters?

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

This was the first comic book movie that wasn't considered silly. If it wasn't for this one, we wouldn't have ever had Iron Man and the MCU

[@lordmortarius538]

My first Batman was the old 60's Adam West version on TV growing up in the 80's. The first film Batman of mine was Michael Keaton and honestly, he's still my favorite, although Christian Bale in THIS film is a very close second. His Batman voice in this one is perfect, it got iffy in the next 2 :/ I also love that they started off this trilogy with the Scarecrow (Dr. Jonathon Crane) as the villain, because he's also another BIG BAD in the comics, famous for using his insanity-inducing fear toxins to really fuck with Batman's head more than once.

[@hanziggy6862]

Honestly, I like Batman Begins more than even The Dark Knight. Bruce's parents probably get killed on-screen just as much as, if not more than, Uncle Ben. Personally, though, I think the best imagery so far shown of the parents shot is Batman V Superman.

[@AlfisahrAndri]

So grounded. superhero for adult. Not like CGI villain who destroy entire galaxy, then those superhero crying with so many tears.

[@fynnthefox9078]

"This is the moment where the bat bites him and he becomes Batman, right?" I think you're getting your superhero origins confused. 24:38 That was a stapler.

[@glennwelsh9784]

It's almost anomalous when you encounter someone who has no idea that Bruce Wayne's parents get murdered when he's a child. Aside from dressing like a bat and fighting crime, it's probably the most well-known aspect of the character because it has been depicted countless times in nearly every form of media, so much that it's a relief when they DON'T show Thomas and Martha Wayne getting shot yet again. It's also funny when she says, "Is this where he gets bit by a bat and becomes Batman?" without a hint of sarcastic humor, as if it's a given that every superhero is just like Spider-Man and obtains their powers the same way.

[@adityajoies]

[@gailjohnston1248]

Hiya Nick, I lol hate to admit but I've seen every Batman movie that's come out, even the cheesy ones. I was quite surprised when Michael Keaton became the 1st big movie Batman, but he pulled it off in his own way. Though I do prefer this one out of most all of the Batman movies. And even though he wasn't in a stand alone Batman film, Ben Affleck made a good older Batman. This movie just had tons of star power from a few OG's like- Michael Caine, Rutger Hauer (he was in Blade Runner), Morgan Freeman, Tom Wilkinson (who's from the UK btw), Gary Oldman and Liam Neeson. And I'm fairly certain the C in Cillian's name is pronounced like a- K. Where it's Killian. Ken Watanabe - same guy who was in the Tom Cruise movie- The Last Samurai, and funny thing- Katie Holmes is a former- Mrs.Tom Cruise. The little blond ( strange looking) boy in this is the same actor who later plays the evil- Joffery in GOTs. Quite a few UK/ Irish actors in this movie lol. Night night!

[@nickreacts6394]

That's cool you've seen all the Batmans, you can accurately compare all the different takes. I agree with your thoughts about Ben Affleck as Batman, really wish we could've seen a full movie with just him. And the cast in this film is truly something else, and I can't believe I didn't recognize Rutger Hauer! How cool of Nolan to get him in this one. And as far as Cillian Murphy... dang I've said his name so many times haha, thanks for the correction!

[@gailjohnston1248]

@@nickreacts6394 Hey there and TY! Well...RH was a bit older by the time he was in this movie. Still hard to believe that he's gone though. He was awesome in the fantasy movie- LadyHawke, as well in the movie- Night Hawks. You should react to both some time. They are older movies but good. Np about Cillian's names, I always wondered for a few years about the C and if you were supposed to pronounce it lol. But saw him introduced on a few late night talk shows and they would say- Killian, which makes sense being he's Irish lol. 😊 Hope all is good with you!🌅⛵

[@user-cu3jk6qx5w]

The only Marvel product that can challange the writing and maturity of the Dark Knight trilogy is the Netflix Daredevil show in my opinion. To this day I have not seen a more mature and more well written story from Marvel than that show. I would go as far as to say that Daredevil is Marvel's Dark Knight Trilogy.

[@nickreacts6394]

I grew up with 90s campy Batman which I didn’t appreciate too much when younger because wanted more from superheroes. Then watched this film in its first week, with no trailers or anything watched. I remember it blowing me away and I was obsessed. And I think this and Dark Knight are tied for me. Favourite Batman films. And the new one, unfortunately, doesn’t reach them. :/

[@jillfromatlanta427]

My favorite of the 3 or 4 Batman movies I have seen. The ONLY weakness? Casting the ex-Mrs. Tom Cruise as Rachel (1) she looks more like a high school cheerleader than an assistant DA in one of the biggest cities in the world and (2) she can't act for s#$&+t. Everyone else is great in this.

I think these movies are good but Nolan is overrated (yes I said it) because he basically took the best part of the best Batman comics (Dark Night Returns, The Long Halloween) and used them for his scripts, granted not adapted completely but he really owes a lot to writers Jeff Loeb and Frank Miller

[@richieclean]

Why is that evidence of him being overrated? Taking inspiration from the best Batman comics is exactly what one *should* do when writing a cinematic version of the character, no? It's not like Nolan is receiving credit for creating the character or writing those specific Comic books, is it? When he and David Goyer wrote the script, their goal wasn't to be 100% faithful to the comic books, but to come up with their own, more grounded and believable interpretation of them. They made no secret of that. I'm not suggesting that a case can't be made for Nolan being overrated, but I think your reasoning is flawed here.

[@Nexusofgeek]

@@richieclean what I am saying is they are getting too much credit from people who don't even know most of the best beats were adapted from these sources.

[@richieclean]

@@Nexusofgeek are they though? It's undoubtedly true that the majority of the audience is going to be unfamiliar with which specific story beats have been lifted from the source material, but it's equally true to say that the audience is well aware that these films are adaptations of the Comic books, rather than original works. If someone wants to dig a little deeper and familiarise themselves with exactly which comics provided which specific aspects of the story, that's up to them, but *not* doing that doesn't falsely attribute credit to Nolan for coming up with them. Nolan gets praise for his abilities as a screenwriter and director, whether you think he's overrated in that respect is a different conversation altogether.

[@Nexusofgeek]

@@richieclean they have a visceral and maybe subconscious positive response to them, they don't have to know the source to appreciate the end result, what I am trying to convey is that Nolan owes a lot to Frank Miller et al, without a good story foundation you don't have a good movie

[@richieclean]

@@Nexusofgeek of course Nolan owes a lot to Frank Miller et al. In interviews etc Nolan made no secret of which Comic books he and David Goyer drew inspiration from when writing the screenplay(s). Just as Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyens all owe a lot to JRR Tolkien for the success of their Lord of the Rings trilogy, but saying that doesn't detract from their achievement in adapting the (presumed unfilmable) books to the screen, and no one is under any illusion about who is responsible for creating that story in the first place. I just don't understand how that constitutes evidence that Christopher Nolan is overrated (ie: that there is a consensus of opinion that holds him in higher esteem than he deserves)
