Batman V. Superman or Batman Begins or Batman?

It would be close between Batman and Batman Begins, but Id probably go with Begins. You'd have to force me to watch BvS.

1. Batman Begins
2. Batman v Superman
3. Batman 1989

Batman Begins.

Batman begins

Batman Begins is way better than Batman '89 and Batman vs. Superman. Batman '89 feels choppy, and Batman vs. Superman is a mess.

Begins.

Begins wrecks.

Batman Begins. No place for discussion even.

Batman Begins stomps!

89

Batman Begins.

LOL.

Batman '89 is worse than Batman vs. Superman?

Anyway, Batman Begins.

@static_shock: i was wondering when someone was going to point that out.

BvS has the best Batman. All the Batman scenes in BvS beats Batman Begins.

Sorry Batman Begins...

Batman Begins.

Batman v. Superman had the most badass Batman scenes, and the greatest depiction of Batman, although Bale's Bruce Wayne and Batman beats Batfleck in every other conceivable area: character development, journey, attachment between audience and being the focus of the film.

@entropy_aegis brought up a good point on another thread, about this movie. You could mistake Batman Begins as a mediocre film if you look at it at surface level, 11 years since it's release. But Begins is not just great for the same reasons that The Winter Soldier or Iron Man are good, for being well-made superhero films; Begins is great for impacting the superhero genre, and impacting filmmaking.

It impacted Casino Royale, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Terminator: Salvation and Genisys, Star Trek 1&2, X-Men: Origins Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, Rise of The Planet of The Apes, Skyfall; hell, Arrow. Not all of those films are necessarily great, but for the filmmakers to have drawn inspiration from this source is telling of how respected this movie is in the industry. Oh, and almost forgot The Amazing Spider-Man.

For that, Batman Begins is a really good movie. If not great.

@thefemalebat: In what ways did it inspire those movies?

This is not me coming to a conclusion that they were inspired by Begins. The filmmakers and actors behind these movies themselves cited Begins as an inspiration.

Begins, very easily. The first hour of Begins is probably the best filmmaking ever done in a superhero film.

I'm not sold on Affleck being the best Batman so far.... Sorry, but not sorry. It's decent. That's about it. That voice modifier crap was a turn off, though.

Batman 1989

@jwwprod: Batman 1989. I was in high school and it was huge!

Begins by a large margin.

Begins is my favorite CBM of all time. Love everything about it, especially the ending.

• Batman Begins: Loved it!
• Batman 1989: Liked it.
• Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice: Was alright.

So many people here have never danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight...

Batman Begins

Begins. I'm insulted that you think these two movies are comparable

These three* movies

Batman (1989) was trash. And people think Keaton was one of the best? Pft. He's a great actor but that wasn't one of his highlights. Lets be real.

BvS

Batman 1989

@modernww2fare: Pshh

Batman v Superman was the best.

Hahahahaaha.

By the way, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the people who regard Keaton as THE best Batman. And believe me, there are people. He is not even Top 2 material (Bale and Batfleck). He's Top 3 through. But that's only because the rest (Kilmer and Clooney) were garbage.

Batman Begins

BvS

Batman 1989

I agree! Bingo!

BUT from an enjoyment standpoint, BvS is the most entertaining. But I agree with your ranking.

One movie sucks across the board, another also sucks but has enjoyable performances, and the other one is one of the best CBMs of all time.

Batman Begins, then Batman 1989. BVS belongs in the dumpster

Ew, why is BvS one percent higher than Batman 1989?

I miss the gothic atmosphere of Burtonverse Gotham.

Nolanverse Gotham is just a regular city.

Batman 1989 was a really amazing supehero movie by the old days standards, then one day Batman Begins came and changed those standards to a far higher lvl.

Batman Begins.

Begins curbstomps.
