World Batman Begins vs Superman the movie 1978

[WhiteRat]

I think you just dont like the character of Batman.

 

[Shadow_Knight]

What isn't there to like about Batman. Batman is one of the strongest in DC and he doesn't even have powers.

Batman Begins.

Batman pwns. I mean.....he cracked a guy's skull against a bathroom mirror while the guy was pissing. While he was pissing!

Begins

Superman is still the greatest supehrero movie of all-time.

Personally i love Superman the movie the best. But Batman Begins was great to. I never really cared for Burtons Batman. Begins is far turer to the character. The same way that STM was ture to Superman at the time it was made. I would take Begins over Burtons Batman anyday. Superman the movie is my favorite. But Begins comes right behind it.

Batman Begins.

Can't we love both?

Theyre apples and oranges. Both staking out different ends of the spectrum of making comic adaptations, although i found the first half of superman to be more serious than the entire superman 2 film heh.

It seems to me DC began to make batman the anti-superman a bit for variety. Supermans story is this epic opera of good and evil galactic threats. Batmans slant is making an epic story out of everyday environments and things.

I love Batman Begins, (and Batman 1989 even more) but Superman: The Movie means even more to me, and that's what I voted for.

 

[ReeveFan1978]

Voted for Superman for the very simple reason I have been a Superman fan since I was 6 yrs old--and Ive never been a big Batman fan. I do have some Batman Superman team up comics..but he just never captured my imagination the way Superman did. So I naturally would like a brilliantly crafted, beautifully portrayed Superman movie better.

I know how you feel, I've been a huge fan of the Superman films since I was about two years old, the first film I remember watching is Superman II, although I'm also a huge Batman fan.

too hard to choose

Well said!

I'm stuck. I think "Superman" is a likeable, although dated, superhero movie (although the F/X is good, it still looked like Reeve was superimposed against a green screen background). Considering the time period it was made in and how Superman emerged in the comics, it was faithful and entertaining. But it's pretty campy in places - Luthor just being able to immobilize Superman with a big Kryptonite necklace, Ned Beatty's broad comic performance, etc.. didn't seem in tune with the comics. It's definitely blessed by the performances of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, though.

"Batman Begins" is buoyed by a good performance by Christian Bale. He's able to make a good Batman and a good Bruce Wayne, and the film took itself seriously, yet there was humor in the right spots to break up tension. And the characters were cast perfectly and more importantly, the movie can stand up to repeat viewings.

I will say, like the person before me, that "Superman: The Movie" is a classic and set the standard for comic-book movies, but I find myself reaching for BB and watching it more than I do "Superman". There's something about BB that appeals to me more than "Superman".

batman all the way

Superman The Movie has a magical, pristine charm that makes it unforgettable and a real classic. Batman Begins on the other hand is a definitive adaptation of Batman, way ahead of anything made previously, even the overrated Batman 89.
But, I am a Superman fan to the core and naturally have a greater liking for STM, I have seen it countless times but the magic is still alive despite the shortcomings.

 

[Spoarz™]

As much as I love Batman Begins, I voted for Superman The Movie, as it's a classic and it is still the benchmark that other superhero movies will be compared to.


Plus, it's f**king awesome.

 

[ReeveFan1978]

Even though the movies were made 30 years apart, I still vote for Superman The Movie. Not only for the plot, but I am not a fan of CG. (One reason Spiderman leaves me unmoved.)Give me the actor in every scene, doing the special effects.Plus Chris' portrayal of a superhero surpasses any that came before or since.MHOEL

Get this: The guy who played the Old Gotham Water Board Technician in BB ALSO played one of the Mission Control Techs in Superman II. His name is Shane Rimmer.

I guess that answers the question of whether BB is in the "Donner-verse" or not....Kidding.
