the fight scenes

[Léo Ho Tep]

I've read the thread about improving the fight scenes.

Here are my thoughts:

Keysi is the adequate style for someone like batman, whose purpose is to beat his opponent as fast as possible. Like Ducard said inbegins : "this is not a dance".

Nolan really improve his style. In TDK, he managed to shot and cut the fights with style, and still, we can see every single move. That was great! I'm a hardcore hk action fan, and i don't want to see this kind of fight in a batman movie. But, if you've seen "flashpoint", Donnie Yen use MMA, which is very close to keysi. His style is realistic, brutal and powerful.

He's one of the best, if not the best, choreographer of hong kong, if not the world. I really think he could do smething great. He's the kind of man we need for another batman movie.

But in the same kind of fight we saw in TDK. Batman style was great, the only real flaw is the stuntmen seem to wait to be punched, and also, they fall before being punched. But i don't think we should see more acrobatic fights, lot of kicks. Let Batman doing his best to beat pulp as fast as possible, but make his opponents more aggressive! Apart from this complaint, I still think the fights were weel shot, well cut, and batman style was excellent, and totally appropriate for the character.:brucebat:

I actually liked the fight scenes better in BMB. In particular, I liked his first real fight as Batman in the warehouse. The director cut it more like a horror movie. It realistically demonstrated why hardened criminals might be afraid of "a guy dressed up as a bat."

I really liked this scene, but as soon as he begins fighting for real, you can't see anything anymore. So in terms of real fighting , i prefer tdk. but i understand your point.

It is, in fact, the only bat-fight in BB that actually worked the way it was filmed. The rest was a filmic nightmare.

Here's an idea, how about we worry less about what looks realistic and concentrate more on what looks good on camera. Batman on film will win in the end no matter if he's using the newest style of martial arts or if he uses the 1940's serials fighting style. Isn't it about time we get something that looks good first and is realistic second? It's a movie, not real life, if I want a real fight I'll go to a bar, pick one myself, watch a boxing match or a UFC match, or search youtube for fights, for a Batman movie I want to be amazed on what it looks like not how "real" it is. Maybe it's the directors fault, maybe the stuntmen, maybe the choreographer, etc., but either way I hated every fight in BB and TDK and hope for the next movie we move away from realism just a bit and focus more on what will look good and be filmed good. Maybe it's just the way it was filmed but something new should be done.

Batman was hit a lot in BB and TDK

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'd prefer a Bourne Identity type choreography where every hit is a tactical chain of blows. Fast, jarring, precise, and effective.
