World Batman Begins vs Superman the movie 1978

[WhiteRat]

Okay Ignore my other thread I created in this section because I thought the title should go like this instead of the other title my other thread has and I wanted to do a poll as well and also there is a thread like this in the Batman Begins section so it wont be very objective there where here I think there would be more people voting for Superman.So here is this thread.Which Movie is your favorite of the two? For me Superman the movie is STILL the greatest comicbook movie of all time ever made but Batman Begins comes in at a close second. Whats yours?

I have seen the Superman films, Batman, Xmen, Spider-man I would say that The original Superman for its time and today is probably the best; with that said I have never been blown away by a movie like I was in Spider-man 2 the original Superman and Spider-man 2 are probably the 2 best.

Superman Returns had some problems it was enjoyable but I left wanting more and wanting it to be better.

Seeing as how both movies were made almost 30 years apart from each other, this is not a fair vs thread. Movies were made differently back then as compared to how they're made now. Overall though, the one I enjoy watching the most out of the two is Superman: The Movie.

I think its fair.The special effects of the superman movies from back then STILL measure up favorably to the special effects and most movies today and were a benchmark for how to make special effects in the future for movies.They set the standard.

The fact that Superman holds its own against the current crop of superhero movies speaks volumes. If you look at the type of comicbook tv/films that were being made when Superman was released, they were nearly all targeted at children.

Batman Begins is a shiny new toy. But in 30 years time, it's unlikely to be THE defining superhero film of its era the way STM is.

Superman the movie will always be my alltime favorite. And Margot Kidder will always be my favorite Lois Lane. By the way, I'm new here.

I dont know about that.Batman Begins was a movie that unlike the other Batman movies,you did not have to be a die hard Batman fan to enjoy them.The casual moviegoer could enjoy Batman Begins.Batman 89 is defenetely not considered a masterpiece by critics or moviegoers and has not withstood the test of time like superman has.I think Batman Begins however will stand the test of time like Superman has though 30 years from now because of what I just mentioned that you dont have to be a die hard Batman fan to enjoy it and like superman,stayed loyal to the source material.

Btw,welcome to the site margot.

Superman by a landslide.

I fell asleep during Bataman Begins, was there some sort of reference to the Joker at the end?

Batman Begins. Even with Superman being the classic that it is, even when I first watched it as a child I remember never feeling completely content. Batman Begins left me feeling like I could die happy.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

The Goddamn Batman.

Well that's really true of any successful comicbook film. Spiderman didn't make its money without attracting people who had never read an issue.

And Batman 89 is primarily dismissed by kids who have grown up with the serious approach of current superhero films. But the truth is, almost none of the recent efforts have tapped into the public's consciousness and pop culture the way B89 did. If you ask someone to quote a Batman film, they're usually going to pull out something from that one.

For similar reasons, Spiderman will probably end up being the film to define this current era. It wasn't the first, but it was the one that opened the floodgates and set the standard (especially in terms of box office). It also has the kind of iconic imagery (like the upside down kiss) that people will still remember decades from now.

Batman sucks!!!

 

[cryptic name]

Batman sucks!!!

you suck.







sorry...anyway. superman the movie is a classic and set the standard for comic adaptions. but if i want to sit down and watch a movie, i'd pick batman begins

 

[WhiteRat]

Batman sucks!!!

If that had said-Batman 89 sucked.That would have been an accurate statement.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

Batman sucks!!!

Have you seen BB?

 

[pspring5]

thats like comparing 1980 benz and a 2006 bmw.

 

[CConn]

Batman Begins.

Although if it's any consulation, SR > BB.

 

[WhiteRat]

Have you seen BB?

Yeah thats what I said.That person must be confusing Batman Begins with Batman 89 because if they had never seen Batman Begins and only saw Batman 89 then it would make sense why they would be saying Batman sucks.
