Batman Begins From Frank Miller

[chosen1]

"I totally thought they did a damned good job. It was the first 'Batman' movie I've genuinely liked. I sat there, I watched it, and I came out of there going, 'Well done, man.' Sure, they used my stuff - they used everybody's stuff, but they used my stuff a lot - but they did it well, and that's all I care about. It was Batman. What I mean by that is, I thought the character was true. You understand, when I work on a character, I have a very, very hard time seeing anybody else's interpretation. I get very possessive. But when I went out to see this thing, I said, 'This is a pretty cool Batman.' I wasn't sitting there going, 'This is a merchandising tool.' I felt like it really had heart and substance, and Christian Bale with no doubt performed the best Batman I have ever seen."


Sorry if repost but i had never read this before.

Oh, Frank.

 

[elorenishii386]

well it is true they did use alot of Year one

Not really......I mean, he mentions it himself, they used everybody's stuff.

I mean, corrupt Gotham.....Jim Gordon....and the swarming Bats scene is pretty much all from Year One.

And, I'd even say that the Tumbler is inspired from DKR....which I've heard that Nolan is a fan of.

But, TLH is also a present influence.....and the Neal Adams/Denn O'Neil Batman was also a present influence.

I mean, they were all influences. I don't see Batman Begins as the Year One movie alot of people claim it to be.

Me neither, but Frank does.

'Batman Begins' is a hodge-podge of things. It isn't pinned to any one inspiration, and that is what FM is saying.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Exactly.
