Personally, my favorite scene in the trilogy so far is the shot of Batman after he poisoned Scarecrow with the fear-toxin.

Everything is just right.
 
Nah. What's better than that is when Gordon radios for backup and Loeb replies 'Gordon! All swat teams are on the island with you! THERE'S NO BODY LEFT!'

This is how Joss Whedon writes scripts.
 
My favorite scene is when he reveals himself to Rachel. I got freakin goosbumps then and still do today.

''It's not who I am underneath, it's what I do that defines me.''
''Bruce?''

Then he jumps off the roof and glides away to meet Ra's. That whole sequence is awesome.

Bonus ending scene!

"I brought mine."
"Yours?"

*BRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

Still a top 5 theatrical experience moment. The bass when the Tumbler revved had the theatre almost shaking.

I get goosebumps everytime I see that scene. In the cinema seeing it for the first time was an oooooh shit moment.
 
Holy shit. I just noticed something.

Is that kid Batman saves in Batman Begins Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones?


MIND BLOWN. (and by blown I mean bummed. I have to retcon my hate for him. ugh.)

He heard that Bruce is really Batman. He is going to be the Riddler in the next film!
 
I agree with Solo.

Batman Begins is the best Batman movie by far. It's one of my favorite movies ever. I have probably seen it 20 times. So many great moments. TDK was kind of a disappointment to me. I still like it but it's not on par with Begins.

Partially agree with this. BB was a BATMAN movie. TDK was a setup for TDKR and basically focused mostly on Joker and the criminal element, it was more a crime movie than BB was a comic book movie. from What I have seen TDKR is a combination of TDK and BB. Epic in scale but focused on Batman. A war movie with a comic book flare.
 
The worst moment in this series is still "I don't have to save you", but it's made even worse that it's following up on by maybe my favorite moment, when Bruce and Gordon get the upper hand on Ra's and the music swells perfectly.

"You never learned to mind your surroundings!"

That works on multiple levels, not just as a callback to what Ra's said to Bruce earlier, but now in the context that this is Batman's city, and he's got good people like Gordon who believe in a better world to help him. It's a great hero moment
 
I've never felt like I could agree with the 'BB was more a Batman/Comic Book movie' angle. Joker and Two Face feel much more 'comic book' to me than BB's Ras ever did.

If anything, though I love them, comic book movies always exist on a different level for me from other movies. I've always kind of felt that BB got a different reaction from people because it was less 'comic book'.
 
I go back and forth on which I like better, but the GAF is the only place where I have seen a significant # of people prefer BB over TDK.

So an international terrorist who leads a group of ninja (that have existed in some form for thousands of years) to steal a microwave emitter in order to convert the city's water supply - which was contaminated with an air-based weaponized hallucinogen - into said hallucinogen, in the hope that it will tear a city apart in fear because their society has gotten too decadent... is less comic book than some crazy guy who blows things up with gasoline and another guy on a revenge streak?

In appearances, maybe Joker and Dent are more comic-book, but in motivation and execution...

a little oversimplification of Joker and Two Face, eh? Joker's plans were fairly elaborate as well.

But yes, in the way the characters themselves were presented in the movies, the twisted horribly scarred psycho in clown makeup and no past with brilliant plans to put a city into chaos and the district attorney-turned-psychotic who survived an explosion that turned half his face into a disfigured monster (along with that half of his suit) did feel more 'comic book' to me than the international terrorist.
 
If you had read my review of Titanic 3D, I was saying that the 3D ruined it. Definitely watch in 2D.

I also don't know why anybody would waste their time arguing with Clayton of all people. C'mon, Dead!

Cameron fanboys are just as bad as Nolan fanboys, probably worse. I hope someone spoils batman dying for you.
