The Dark Knight Is The Movie The Batman So Obviously Wishes It Was

In nearly every similarity and difference between it and its predecessor, The Batman only tries (and fails) to escape The Dark Knight's shadow.

'The Batman' is a way better Bruce Wayne film. 'The Dark Knight' has such a weak Bale performance. Even he in interviews agreed he wasn't happy with his Bruce there.

Why do people insist that Batman Begins doesn't exist.

I feel Pattinson's Batman is less physically gifted and more vulnerable (i.e weaker) than The Dark Knight's batman. You really felt he was in danger in many scenes

The Dark Knight probably has the better script and performances but I prefer the visuals and atmosphere of The Batman.

I've always being disappointed with Gotham in The Dark Knight just looking like a normal city.

TDK is obviously an influence on TB, but TB is still its own thing. They're both 9/10 movies for me.

For all it's flaws, The Dark Knight never put me to sleep. There's occasional moments in this three hour snoozefest that held my attention - the car chase for example - but overall it's just a slog to get through.

Couldn't agree more.

I stopped and started this 5 times before I finished it.

By the third time, it was almost like a job because I was pushing myself to finish it.

Really for no other reason than one is a Batman fan.

Indeed, take the car chase out and you might as well take a nap.

If they cut Catwoman out of The Batman the movie would have been a lot better.

reply

Not really, if anything The Batman is trying desperately to be Se7en.

While the dark knight just wanted to be Heat.

Coincidentally both those came out the same year.
