Scarecrow lights Batman up, falls out the window , struggles with custume on fire, manages to get on a roof top. calls Alfred

Alfred , help me ....

Blood,take...take poison

Blood poison

Poisonous,Poisonous

:csad: (Alfreds expression in the car )

That scene is epic, everytime i watch Batman begins makes me feel sorry for Bruce. His weakness for not having any superhuman abilities are shown in that one scene.
 
It might have the elements but it was far from emotional to me.
 
Rachel's death scene I think since it shows so many character's emotions
 
Ehhhh no, I've never look at this as an emotionally powerful scene :huh:

There's way more powerful ones than this:

- The Bruce/Selina dance at Schreck's party
- The final scene between Batman and Catwoman in Returns
- The Alfred and Dick Grayson scenes in Forever
- The Bruce/Alfred scenes in B&R
- Alfred comforting little Bruce in Begins
- Rachel's death scene
- Final confrontation between Two Face, Gordon and his family, and Batman in TDK
- Gordon's monologue at the end of TDK, showing various images like Alfred burning Rachel's letter, the Cops chasing the injured Batman, the batsignal being smashed, the Sonar device being destroyed in front of Lucius etc.
 
The entire ending of TDK, including the final confrontation with Two-Face. Without question. The only thing that comes close is Rachel's death and aftermath.

I do love the scene the OP brings up, because of well it cuts between Batman and the quick flashes of the Wayne murders. It felt something right out of the comics, specifically Dark Knight Returns.
 
Batman and Catwoman confrontation at the climax of BR tied with the revelation at the Shreck ball, both scenes are just amazingly tragic in a Shakesperean manner that I could never fully shake them off. Great stuff.

Those are great moments, mainly because of the superb acting by Pfieffer and Keaton. :yay:

The revelation of Bruce Wayne's secret identity is way better/powerful and unique than in other Superhero films

- The final scene between Batman and Catwoman in Returns

This is hands down, the most emotional scene in the Batman films.

Batman has found someone just like him, want's to end up with her because he has found true love, tries to help change her ways and take her off the path of revenge, revenge made Batman feel empty and not any better after killing The Joker in Batman 89, so he feels that he can redeem himself by taking someone else off of that path but then she rejects him because he's getting in the way of her revenge and all that leaves Batman emotionally scarred in the end.

- Rachel's death scene

It was/meant to be emotional but I didn't really care about the character.

- Final confrontation between Two Face, Gordon and his family, and Batman in TDK

It was emotional because Batman wanted to reason with Harvey Dent/Two Face and convince him to stop his madness even though he was a lost cause due to his duality and Batman was not able to save Dent from his dark side. This scene would have been even more emotional if Dent was actually Bruce's best friend in the film instead of someone Rachel introduced him to but oh well.

- Gordon's monologue at the end of TDK, showing various images like Alfred burning Rachel's letter, the Cops chasing the injured Batman, the batsignal being smashed, the Sonar device being destroyed in front of Lucius etc.

No offense but I Never found this one emotional, not even a bit. :dry:

But then again, I must be being bias because I didn't like the ending, I just didn't like the fact Batman was taking the blame for a psychopath, I mean if I were him, I wouldn't take the blame for something I didn't do and would be honest.

Then you missed the whole point of the scene. It's not the fact that Rachel's dead that makes it emotional, it's the effect it has on Bruce and Harvey that makes it so emotionally powerful. Same as when Bruce loses his parents. Do you think anyone in the audience is emotionally attached to the Waynes? They couldn't give a toss that they're dead.

I couldn't care less about Rachel. I didn't want to see her back after Begins, but at least she served a better purpose in TDK.

Your loss.

You didn't like that Batman made the most selfless sacrifice for the greater good of Gotham City? But you're cool with him killing off criminals in Burton's Batman movies?

Mmmmkay...

I would say a scene in Batman Begins after Bruce's parents died Alfred comes in the room and young Bruce blames himself says "I miss them Alfred" "So do I" that hit me first time I saw that on the big screen.

:hehe: Yeah.
 
I would definitely go with the scene where Alfred comforts young bruce. I remember just thinking, "Damn Cain is a good actor" he really made you feel it.
 
Bruce and Alfred's scenes in Batman and Robin still stand as the most emotional scenes I've ever seen in a Batman film, and are probably the only "good" scenes in the whole movie (though I still find it incredibly and thoroughly entertaining).
 
I think it's when Gordon visits Harvey in the hospital and you first realise that he's completely lost it.
I dread watching that scene.

That's a great one. The audience always jumped when Harvey shouted "SAY IT!!!".

I still jump when watching it on DVD. Sometimes I forget its coming but most of the time I swear the people that made the DVD just turned up the sound!

Yup, good one.
 
Ending of TDK is pretty powerful. However MOTP has by far the most impact in that area and we really see what Bruce is made of.
