Batman Begins still has the best modern superhero movie debut scene
- Thread starter MMarston
- Start date
Right!! It all peaked with Civil War. Iron Man's suit, Panthers suit etc... All went to hell. Nano tech is just lazy CGi
Agreed. This Batman is theatrical in a classic movie monster/killer sort of way. Baleman is theatrical in a be sneaky and then snarl and glare sometimes kind of way.
Can't apply too much logic. I mean, for instsnce, there's very little stupider in the realm of Batman than "the yellow oval is the most heavily armored part, it's a target to draw fire, a trick!" How about don't get shot at at all? What if you get shot in the face? What if all these idiot criminals maybe aren't good enough shots to hit your little chest target accurately 100% of the time as you run and glide and swing and dodge and fight?
Hahaha motherfucker looks so goofy!You mean this goofy ass shot?
Or the bit where he brands a criminal?
I absolutely love the first half of Batman Begins, but I'm not a huge fan of the second half. We get a great introduction to the new serious, "grounded" Nolan Batman, but then it starts to morph into more of a comic book thing by the finale. To me it seemed like they were hesitant to go all in and remove the "fun" from Batman. As if someone got cold feet and worried that audiences wouldn't like it.
The Dark Knight on the other hand clearly doubled down on the gritty realism vision. They stopped trying to make Gotham look like the comics and the tone stayed pretty serious. I think the start of Begins had higher highs, but as a complete package TDK is better.
Obviously Batman as a concept is totally unrealistic, so when I say "realistic" I'm talking in relative terms.

I kinda liked how it looked in the movie, it was more like a horror film.
In stills most of this stuff looks like garbage, it's worse as Knightmare Batman and the warehouse fights where just visually amazing
always get chills when he goes off the jump with the music blasting in the background. one of my favorite moments in the whole trilogy
Yeah I liked this scene too. Is this video edited down though? It seems off.
thank you, sir, i knew something was bugging me. i thought it was motion interpolation or something.

"Aaayyyyyy waddup fellas"You mean this goofy ass shot?

The shot of Batman charging head on into the horde of police vehicles at the end is one of my favorite shots in the entire trilogy. It's a great comeback scene.
I'm a sucker for the exchange in that scene:
Gordon: "I never said thank you."
Batman: "And you'll never have to." *disappears*
*Zimmer score*
BATMAN BEGINS

Ehhhh. Thought this was a really good Batman scene.
It's weird because I feel like this is the only film that nailed that heavy and mechanical feeling.
Ditto here. Was pretty surprised about the absence. Also shout out for the plane scene in Superman Returns.
I'll put Professor X's entrance in X2 as my contribution here. Or Nightcrawler in the White House, which I saw someone else post.

Captain America 2 had the brst opening of a modern super hero movie IMO.
Best character introduction goes to the birth of Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen.
