The Best Vision on Gotham?

[Cinemaman]

Mine was Nolan's version of realistic Gotham, which is full of fear and society.

 

[Two-Face]

I liked Burton's Gotham but I felt it was small-town which Gotham is a city like New York or Chicago but I like Nolan's Gotham was great like there was poor-side of the city and richer as well.

Also TAS Gotham even tho it's cartoon loved 40s Gotham.

 

[McGourgh]

Nolan's.

I think you have to differentiate the Gotham of Batman and the Gotham of Batman Returns - they were completely different.

 

[Green Goblin 1964]

Nolan's Gotham

Nolan and 89s. The others were weirded out heh.

Returns felt like a european city in the 19th century and Schumachers ones felt like Las Vegas puked its lights all over nyc lol.

Burton's vision was great,but was just a little too bizarre for me.I liked Schumacher's vision as well,but it just felt like it didn't have any life to it.My favorite all-time vision was the Animated Series in the early 90s,but as far as the movies go I'd have to say Nolan's vision is the best.

I agree the B89 Gotham is all Gothic architecture and overbearing menace,the BR Gotham is a surreal freakshow version

I voted Nolans but my favourite Gotham is the one from BTAS

89s gotham i had the vibe that it was a run down, dirty city. It felt more like that to me than the Adams Family city of Returns lol.

Anton Fursts (Batman '89) and Bo Welch's (Batman Returns), and you know what, yeah they didn't seem that big but boo-****ing-hoo. Get over it. Also, I didn't care for Nolan's "Gotham" at all.

i liked the look of 89 gotham. it had this great feeling of not only grit and corruption, but also th appearance of unplanned growth. buildings were errected on top of each other and weird support beams wre built right out of the sidewalk, etc. really cool.

Nolan's vision isn't really naything special, It's just any old city, nothing unique about it, even schumacher's version was better(mainly coz it was derived from burton's!)

I feel people who say this type of thing missed the point. The city.. is a city. No theatrics no nothing, the theatrics is the crime sir The grittyness is the appeal with nolans gotham, not literal darkness or in schumachers case brightness lol

The folks who like the more elaborate type of fiction dont get this stuff often.

I get it, I just find it boring, I love the idea of making film an art form, which Burton did well, after all, comics are heavily art orientated, I just love the way in B89 and Returns, that you can pasue it anywhere and be amazed by the image, like a series of awesome artworks!

But i am correct that the more elaborate fiction lovers will give a thumbs down. Since you dont prefer it, you dont "get it" in terms of the beauty of it.

Im just glad its been steered far away from Schumachers. Needed glasses after that

The thread is purely architectual right? So Nolan's buildings are boring, Burton's are not, easy choice!

Architectual? I just thought it said "best vision", which means concept also. Less is more is a concept that kicks the pants off of the other types to many people.

Someone told me they didnt like 89s because it was too cartoony looking. He said begins is by far the indesputable best. So go figure.

Even so, Burton still takes it, Gotham for Nolan could be any scummy town, it's not an individual and unique town, not the sorta place batman needs to inhabit.

 

[XCharlieX]

If you say so.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Burton's Gotham is a Gothic fantasy world,Nolan's is NY or Chicago on steroids,a major us city with a fantasy twist a lot like books such as YO and TLH,thats why i love it

 

[XCharlieX]

Id also like to add that many urban folks seem to be attracted to the batman films now with Nolans remake. Theres much urban sensibilities in it.

Gain some, lose others. Oh well.

 

[Bat Attack]

To each his own.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

Well, for me, i thought the best Gotham was Burtons 89 interpretation. It just struck a cord with me. However, i feel that each director created the best Gotham for their own perception of the character to exist in.

 

[Silver Sable]

I think all versions were cool
