Batman Begins Batman Begins-Best Batman Movie

Is it the best film made involving Batman. No. I think The Dark Knight is a better film - it has a better narrative structure and better character development for the villains. But really, not much of it is about Batman himself.

But the best Batman movie (as in the best film primarily about the character himself) is Batman Begins for me, with Mask of the Phantasm as a close second.

I understand with a rogues gallery as good as Batman's, the villains can often be more compelling to directors, but it is sad that Batman often plays second fiddle to them. Begins actually treated Batman as more than a mirror for the villains.

TDKR is more about Bruce Wayne, with the focus on Batman once again weakened a little for me.

 

Hell to the no. It's better than Rises which I thought was garbage. But it Begins is still flawed as hell. The origin drags out. Too much babble about fear all the time to make you dizzy from hearing the word. Scarecrow is watered down and pathetic. Ra's is boring and not used enough. Katie Holmes stank the place out. The microwave emitter stuff was dumb.

TDK is still the king of this trilogy.

 

I'm usually not one to make a fuss about these things, but seriously...
