In hindsight, schumacher batman is way better than nolan batman by a wide margin.

Two Jar Slave - 2020-06-24 Schumacher is better than Burton, but the Bane voice puts the Nolan trilogy over the line.

Two Jar Slave - 2020-06-24 Oh my goodness. Bane Voice is like a flouncy ESL Sean Connery impersonation that you can barely hear. It's amazing.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2020-06-24 Burton's Batman hasn't aged well. Too many of the stunts seem phoney and the stock caracters seem silly. Burton let the small stuff get away from him, and it mars the whole. but it was and remains the most important superhero movie ever, if that's not an oxymoron The first time I saw it, I was amazed. It was impressionistic. It looked like Fritz Lang's Metropolis. I was impressed that it started with a mother and a father and a boy being mugged, reenacting Bruce Wayne's primal trauma. And then they tweaked Batman's origin so that Batman and the Joker created each other. That was kind of beautiful.
The thing about Nolan's Batman is that it's a trilogy, and to me, parts and 1 and 3 seem unnecessary. The Dark Knight pretty much covers all the ground that needs to be covered. I feel like I may be wrong about that. I own the Dark Knight, I've watched it a dozen times, but I've watched Batman Begins one and a half times, The Dark Knight Rises Once. So I feel like I could have missed something, but Jesus, I don't want to sit through Batman recovering from his broken back again. It's a long, painful process.
Batman Forever is crazy fun. Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones are deleriously gleeful villains, and the mood is infectious.
Batman and Robin is the Superman IV of the franchise. Who doesn't love Superman IV?

Two Jar Slave - 2020-06-24 Down in that prison pit (?), Batman chucks a rock at the wall-mounted TV (??) before getting some coal-miner-looking guy to punch his vertebrae back into place (???). I recommend watching Rises again; it's the closest Chris Nolan had ever come to having fun.

Clooney said in an interview in the 2000s he was intentionally playing Batman as gay.
Makes the fact he adopts a grown man make more sense.

My favorite part is when a virtual simulation of Alfred ("I programmed my brain algothms into the computer.") Tells his neice that, even though he's been dying from some nonspecific disease, he's managed to whip up a costume for her. And HOLY SHIT it's some crazy superhero fetishwear! Betiie Page could wear this in an Irving Klaw loop, stilletto heels, a metal bustier, and form fitting black spandex. JESUS CHRIST, UNCLE ALFRED!
How is it that a guy who can program his own brain into a computer works as a butler?
As I was fond of telling people at the time, this was so bad, I saw it twice!

SolRo - 2020-06-25 Alfred only has to take care of one man who constantly goes out to eat and stays out all night. He has all the time in the world to take some online classes.

Don’t forget, the password to Alfred’s file that has all the info on the Batcave and Batman’s identity is “Peg”.
