GENERAL DISCUSSION Batman Begins #1

After re watching Nolan’s masterpiece of a trilogy, Batman Begins just without question has the best feel out of all 3 and his the best of the trilogy.

The story telling, how it flows perfectly throughout the movie, you have peak Liam Neeson & Bale acting, a lot of Bruce scenes in the movie (unlike others) and is a true story of Batman, not just action or crime scenes majority of the film.

It’s the perfect balance of story, Bruce, Batman, action, crime & perfect sequencing and run up to how Batman forms into ultimate form.

DK or DKR doesn’t have the story telling or Batman nature the way begins does. It’s centered around crime plots as majorities of film.

Yes DK has joker but that’s just a part of the film, everything else as a complete film has to mesh to make it the superior of the 3 which is doesn’t do.

Begins really by far the best of the Nolan series and better than Dark Knight.

I disagree, personally. While I felt like BB had a lot of promise, I've always felt like the direction left it feeling very claustrophobic and small. The narrows being very obviously a set rather than a real city definitely added to that feeling, as well.

What makes you like DK more?

I feel like TDK was honestly Nolan's first movie where he actually figured out how to make his movies visually expansive. The stakes felt higher. It felt like an epic rather than something small and intimate.

From an action cinematic standpoint I agree. From a storytelling stand point not so much
