10 Reasons Why BEN AFFLECK Is The BEST BATMAN

I'm discussing only the recent Batmen, from the 2000s...Ben Affleck and Christian Bale.

Thanks to Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice we now know who'd win a fight between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel (resolutely Batman, but he's too much of a Mummy's boy to finish the job), but since the release of Zack Snyder's aggravating showdown flick the battle has still raged over who'd win in a fight between Batman and Batman.

I speak, of course, of the debate over which Batman actor is better; Christian Bale or Ben Affleck. And it really is down to these two - nobody would ever stand up for Val Kilmer or (shudder) George Clooney, Adam West is in a league of his own and Michael Keaton could never quite escape being in a Tim Burton movie.

So who wins? The hoarse madman who barks orders or the metal-suited psycho who has a bunch of terrifying recurring nightmares?

Well, if it came to fisticuffs, Bale's version wouldn't stand a chance - Affleck is ruthlessly efficient and would have no qualms just gunning his counterpart down - but when comparing the attributes of the characters from a more, let's say measured, standpoint, things are a little different...

Girl please, it's over, Ben is fired. He is not a hot mess anymore, just a mess. It breaks immersion if Bruce Wayne has alkie carb face and badly concealed beer belly.

Bale's Batman is just a Ninja in armor ... Afleck has incorporated the essence of Batman ... Both Psychological and physical!

Christopher Nolan seems to think that "realistic" is synonymous with "boring". Most of the things that make Batman the fantastic and life-long character is taken from the film version of Nolan, probably because he considers them foolish and unreal. Batman's fighting style is just some very boring and boring fighting style, consisting of repeated strokes on the body, elbows and grabs on the arms. Worse yet, these fights are all filmed in the dark and very close with quick cuts, which I think should somehow increase realism through inconsistency. We have a Batmobile boring that doesn't have huge bat insignia or scallops or anything that really indicates it should have a Bat theme.

Nolan Batman is not a genius detective, not a scientist, not an amazing fighter, he is not a strategist. Nolan completely failed to portray Batman's core.

They are both WAY too old to play Batman. Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton were both in their thirties when they played Batman. These guys are pushing 50.

Nolan gives you the illusion of realism, but make no mistake, such a situation in the “real world” would not be possible. Our The government would not have a deadlock with terrorists in a besieged American city for three months. The back Broken ones take a little over half a year to heal, and yet I doubt you're 100%. Speaking of Bond, Bane and Don't Talia really seem reminiscent of the relationship between Electra King and Renard? To the point where the two movies they wasted a really good bad guy for having all his motivation for devoting himself to a woman who never would you recognize? Say what you want about Bane's comic version, his motivation and execution of his own "plans" they made a lot more sense and were a lot more intriguing in the comics.

You can tell or make a relevant or meaningful movie in any genre. There were stories with ideas or social comments made in all genres; horror, science fiction, adventure and westerns; many of these movies don't They are particularly realistic (Romero's zombie movies, for example), but they say a lot about society. So, Trying to say that Nolan's Batman movies are superior because of their "realism" is not correct. If you want make a realistic movie about vigilantism or anarchy, don't make a Batman movie; however you can easily make these themes the forefront of a story set in a world of crime fighters fantasized for good writing, good direction and staying true to the story line. What I really think is fooling people is the The notion that making someone believe that something they are watching at the cinema is synonymous with the fact that the movie is realistic when all it really means is that the filmmakers didn't violate viewers with a specific suspension of disbelief.

For me, the worst part was Batman's character and motivation. Especially at the end of the movie where he talks to Robin about living with suppressed anger and turning it into motivation. Batman was not about anger. Contrast, please, with Hulk. Sure, he might be mad, but he didn't fight crime because he was mad that someone had killed your parents. And it wasn't revenge either. Batman's motivation was justice. He is a knight, a protector, a defender. He is that's because I didn't want to repeat an injustice of what happened to your parents. They took "The Dark Knight" and changed to "The Avenging Ninja".

This Nolan Batman is a goddamn trash. He is not intimidating. He can't fight (compared to comics, games and the Batman cartoons). And he, in terms of style, sucks. He, Chris Nolan, totally ruined Batman's character and should be charged criminally ...

There is no element of fantasy. And despite Batman's "realistic" credentials, he's a comic book character. He is bigger than life. And Nolan makes it a joke.

by Anonymousreply 24October 26, 2019 4:54 AM

Christopher Nolan's Batman and his world is boring and frankly utterly disrespectful. For example, I think a One of the first things that stood out was that Gotham didn't look exactly like Gotham. Then Batman it seems to have throat cancers or he is making a mockery of Batman's voice. None of the villains seem to have very deep. They're boring, not scary, not comic, and you know they'll let Batman win at Final. I hate predictability. If Nolan really wanted a more "realistic" Batman saga, he should write them so that the bad guys would not sabotage themselves to lose! Batman can still win in the end, should have half the city annihilated, bodies everywhere, people screaming, etc. Instead of a bunch of childish PG-13 crap, let's give an R-rating and make this world a darker, not a lighter one.

Nolan's Joker being more than a little two-dimensional. The scariest thing about Joker, for me, has always been that one thread of sanity. If you have a pure psychopath, everything becomes predictable because he is capable of any thing. If, however, you add the option of sound thinking (however implausible) or even reasoning fractured, so you have real horror on your hands. Think how disturbing some legendary serial killers they are (partly) due to how rational they sometimes seemed. Take this feeling of discomfort and add pure magic to comic, and that's it. The Joker, as I see it, reminds me a little of Hannibal Lecter, but with a gigantic dose of theater. Heath Ledger had a great time performance, but in my eyes, this is not Joker.

My main statement is that he forgets the main feature of Batman. The formula is the level detective Sherlock Holmes, Ninja, Master of Martial Arts, Chemist and the owner of Rich Technology Company, which provides a source for your equipment. Nolan Batman is just a rich and spoiled guy trained by the Assassins League with technology. He is really a mess and apparently not so smart.

Bane is terrible - he's a Hispanic inmate, not a moron-hole retard. Retarded makeup joker - crazy enough, but the rest of the personality is completely wrong. - Catwoman - um .... who exactly is Catwoman? that Anne Hathaway thing? No way. Batman drives the Batmobile, not A battle tank - no comment. Batman logo - personally, I've always preferred the yellow logo. Black logo of the animated series is also very good. The Bale logo - what the heck is that? Gotham - Nolan Gotham sucks. what exactly is gothic about it? Burton steps here. Ras Al Ghul - 600 year old killer, not A 60 year old grandfather with inherited name. Scarecrow - could have been much better presented than that idiot with a silly bag on his head. Two Faces - I didn't really notice your split personality, Nolan didn't get anything right. I think the Batman is the greatest detective. - Nolan Batman certainly not. What did he investigate? how much time did he spend studying his opponents? where are your cool gadgets? Batsuit - If you remove the hood, you can't even tell if the Batman or swat I could go on, but I'm tired of writing ..

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as "Joker".
