"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTBatman is my favorite superhero and has been for some time. Which Batman film is your favorite and why? I like Batman Begins best, yes, even over the usual favorite, The Dark Knight. The main reasons for this are probably a) the greater clarity of the story, wheras TDK has more loose ends, gimmicks, and overly hectic pace; and b) Batman Begins explores the psychology of Batman/Bruce Wayne far more, tells a fantastic origin story as well as a primary conflict in two acts, both sufficiently long and detailed to not feel rushed, yet tied well enough together to make a cohesive film.
Your thoughts, please?

Because, in all seriousness, it is the definitive Batman for me. Though it is not a movie...

The Lone Star JediI enjoy 1989 Batman for nostalgic reasons, really liked that movie as a ten year old.
Batman Returns was also enjoyable, but doesn't hold the nostalgic value of the first. Enjoyed me some Walken and Devito. Plus, by the time this one came out, I was in the full swing of puberty, so Michelle Pfeiffer hold a nice leathery place in my heart as a result of this film.
Anything by Shumacher was utter crap. Never liked any of them.
Batman Begins was extremely enjoyable and a great film.
I'm gonna have to go with the majority here and call The Dark Knight my very favorite of all. I just love Ledger's Joker, his characters true devotion to Anarchy and chaos was a sinful enjoyment to me. His quirks and behavior just enthralled me. I hate we'll never see Ledger's Joker again. *tear*

xhonzi wasn't picking on you, he was referring to a previous discussion about adding a movie subforum to off-topic.

Ointment FlyI know this won't be a popular opinion, but...
Is it possible that Ledger's performance is overrated due to the timing of this death? I say yes.

"friggin midgit devil teddy bear"I think I am with Xhonzi on the cartoon thing.
As far as live action goes, Batman Begins is by far my favorite. I really wish they would have ditched the dumb Bat armor though. The bat armor and the voice are the two things that consistently bug me about Begins.
If they could capture the feel of the cartoons in a live action Batman movie... my life might just be complete.
I really need to play Arkham Asylum. PS3 or 360?
xhonzi

of Earth.Probably either. Arkham Asylum is probably the closest you'll get to a thing that sort of looks like a movie and feels like the Animated Series.

Does the 360's game of the year edition have the levels where you play as the Joker, or is that still PS3 exclusive? Maybe I should get it for the PS3 just so I have something to play on it.

While I too felt it was good, I agree that it was overrated.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerI'd have to go with Batman '89 as my favourite live-action Batman film. It has that gothic quasi-vampire eeriness I love about Batman without the over-the-top Burtonness of Burton, the neon homoerotic camp of Schmacher, and the stifling realism of Nolan.
If I could go beyond live-action films, though, I'd go with the animated Mask of the Phantasm. It - along with the animated series, of course - captured Batman far better than any live-action film has thus far IMO.
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTI have to agree with everyone on this, that the animated series to me is canon Batman for the most part, even more than the comics.
This has been a day for humility, by the way. I've been called out twice for misspellings, plus I accidently cloned a thread twice due to stupide McDonald's wireless and my impatience (btw, don't keep clicking refresh when you are having connection difficulties).
