Batman Begins isn't a remake, it's a whole new start of a new Batman film franchise.

As a lifelong Batman nerd, I'm well aware of that. In fact, I had an explanation as to why I added it to the list, but then I removed it because I assumed it was unnecessary. I knew the members here would understand why I added it (that's the edit on my post).

Batman Begins is not a direct remake, but it's hardly new ground. We've already seen his parents killed, we've already seen him struggle with dual identities, we've already seen him being accused of being a dangerous vigilante, etc, etc. Batman Begins is just Nolan's version of the story & character we already know, and has been done before.

Anothology = 1989-1997 and Nolan is 2005=current.

You can put whatever names\classifications\dates\tags\etc you want on it, but in it's purest sense, as a film, it's still a remake.

For the record; Batman Begins is, by far, my favorite thing Batman. I had a post stating otherwise a while back but have since revisited the film and need to explain all that went into my thoughts regarding it. Some other time, when I'm not so busy.
