Favorite Batman theatrical film?

Huh. Weird. Then I guess my recollection if way off. I'll have to rewatch it sometime.
I wonder what I'm remembering then. O_o

Probably the beginning where Batman accidentally drops him into the acid. He had an interest in keeping Jack alive to testify against Boss Grissom and didn't know he killed his parents yet.

Not all acting is affecting an accent, or putting wig and makeup. An awareness of pacing, a sense of how to react in scene, and comfort with material are all just as important, as tools, as facepaint or a face nose. Burying themselves in a role, is nowhere near as important, to me, as selling the scenes, selling the person.

I don't disagree with you on that. There are plenty of actors (Nicholson included) who I like, but have a tendency to be pretty samey from role to role, but because they do those roles well it doesn't matter.

I just thought that in Batman, Nicholson completely ruined The Joker.

Batman Begins is the best Batman movie. Each movie in the Nolan Trilogy is a little bit worse than the one that came before it. Batman begins had good choreography in the fights. In the other movies, Batman was just slow and clunky. Gotham really felt dark and creepy. And he actually the defeated the villian at the end of the movie.

I don't really like any of the Batman movies very much except for MOTP and '66. I like the Nolan movies okay, they just bother me. I hate how pathetic Batman feels in those movies and he always kills someone in each movie.

He doesn't really kill anyone, he just lets them die or others kill apart from maybe Talia when he shot down her truck and later died. Catwoman killing Bane was just cheap imo.

He let Ra's die, he could have saved him but chose not to, that is still killing. In Dark Knight he killed Dent yeah it was an accident but he still died because of Bruce. In Rises he killed two people, Talia and the guy that was in the truck with her. I like watching all of the Batman movies excluding Forever but I hate that in almost all of them he has killed at least one person.

Begins was great because it felt like a unique take that was taking it seriously for once but it felt like setup for the dark knight. I grew up watching returns loads so that has a place in my heart and the 66 movie gave me a lot of happiness in my youth. As much as I like to go against the grain I can't say anything other than the dark knight, it's a fantastic film. I really, really disliked rises

Letting someone die is not the same as killing.

[byrd156]

Letting someone die is not the same as killing.

He had the ability to save him but didn't and acknowledged that he was letting him die, yeah he killed him.

Nope. Still not the same.

[byrd156]

Nope. Still not the same.

How is it not the same?

[Jeff Brady]

How is it not the same?

Killing is an action. It requires will and exertion. Letting someone die is inaction.

He sure used action to leave Ra's on the train to die.

[Jeff Brady]

Ra's was already on the train. He did not put Ra's on the train.
