I loved this stupid fucking movie.

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

Schumacher is better than Burton, but the Bane voice puts the Nolan trilogy over the line.

I grew up watching the original series re-runs, that was always THE batman to me. I was pretty confused by the hate for the schumacher movies. I mean they're flawed, you can't always tell which parts were intentionally dumb, but whatever, it was a batman movie from before you were supposed to take it so damn seriously. Nolan's film are mostly joyless boredom redeemed by a couple excellent villain performances (taking that on faith that bane was good I only saw the heath ledger nolan one)

Oh my goodness. Bane Voice is like a flouncy ESL Sean Connery impersonation that you can barely hear. It's amazing.

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?

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.

Stars for "Hindsight."

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!


Two Jar Slave - 2020-06-24

Suit me up, "uncle" Alfred!

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”.
