It'd be awesome if Nolan could pull something like that off.

That's a cool video

The one good thing about the ending to TDK is when Gordon's kid calls out to Batman. In fact, both of Nolan's films have been variations on the end of Batman: Year One. Nothing can touch Burton because that is PURE BATMAN!

Burton is not pure Batman. Nolan's endings were better. Not everything was nicely tied up in a bow for the next story. Sorry, but Batman does more than pose for the Bat-Signal.

Kind of hard to take it seriously after the Joker was just shown to be a chicken and murdered. Not very Batman.

Agreed. Not very modern Batman.

Not really a final scene, but I want this to happen close to the end of The Dark Knight Rises.

And don't flame me if I miss a word or anything, haha.

Batman Begins -

Gordon: "I never did thank you."

Batman: "And you'll never have to."


The Dark Knight -

Gordon: "Thank you."

Batman: "You don't have to thank me."

Gordon: "Yes I do."


The Dark Knight Rises -

I want Batman to end up thanking Gordon as I think Gordon will play a huge significance in the film as well as being a reason for why Bruce will don the suit once again and as much as it already seems like this series will be going full circle, I think Batman thanking Gordon would be a very nice touch.

I'd love to see that, and I think it's likely.

Like I said, Burton's Batman cinematically defeats his enemies, he never kills. Batman is theatrical and gothic, Nolan's films fail to convey the atmosphere that makes the character so iconic. People should NEVER complain about Batman 1989.

^ Cinematic defeat in my book.

Then your book is jacked up.

^ Cinematic defeat in my book.

Stone cold dead in my book.

He cinematically defeats him by killing him. The only reason it's not a huge deal in the film is because of the fantastical approach Burton took with the art design, but it doesn't change the actuality of what Batman does in it.

 

[Russell Nash]

Nolan does this too.

Bruce "cinematically defeats" an entire building of ninjas by blowing it up.

 

[Anno_Domini]

No one can say Nolan > Burton on that level.

 

[twostep]

This is basically the only suitable ending

As The Dark Knight is essentially a modern day Western, with Batman being the silent mysterious hero.

Preacher - Batman
Megan - Selina Kyle
Hull (the dude who kicks in the door and saves Preachers ass) - Gordon
Hood (dead body) - Bane
Guy who gets shot (who in this movie is pulling all the strings) - Talia or this Nixon fella.

Really? You're going to say "People should NEVER complain about Batman 1989"? Even about its many plot holes, characterization inconsistencies, and dumb moments? I love The Dark Knight, but I'm not going to say that people should NEVER complain about it.
Burton's Batman exists in an expressionist, nightmare world. Nolan's Batman exists in a heightened reality. Two different, but valid, takes on Batman.

Agreed.

Exactly.

Batman cinematically defeating bad guys during the beginning of Returns is awesome and SHOULDN'T BE QUESTIONED. People complaining about Batman 1989 are part of the problem with the world. Millennials are truly a cancer and ruin just about everything. It's the reason why James Bond was killed, Michael Myers was turned into a redneck, Freddy was put to bed, and cinema as a whole died.

No, people who insult others as being a cancer because of something so arbitrary as the color of their skin or the year they were born are the cancer. As a person viewing a particular work, I have the right to question it. Killing "Cinematically defeating" bad guys as Burton's Batman did doesn't fit my preferred incarnation of Batman, the modern Batman. Nolan's Batman captured the modern Batman far better than Burton ever did.

Without Burton, there wouldn't be Nolan's films or modern Batman. Frank Miller and Tim Burton essentially invented modern Batman. To say anything to the contrary is pure ignorance. Denny O'Neil and Alan Moore simply reinforced that with their work on the character. The same can be said of Richard Donner and Superman.

The Millennials have killed modern cinema. They truly are the scourge of the earth.

 

[Visceral]

i love it when he kills the fat guy.

 

[Russell Nash]

The scene even has the Wilhelm Scream! There's nothing, NOTHING to complain about.
Nolan's Batman does the same thing. Blowing up an entire building full of ninjas, knocking Harvey Dent to his death.

Oh and Batman in the comics did this...

I'm not denying the influence of Burton's Batman films on Nolan's Batman films I'm not even saying I hate them. To the contrary, I love them. I am just saying that I prefer the Nolan films over them, because they capture my preferred incarnation of Batman better. I like Frank Miller's Batman work (or at least Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One). I'm not denying the impact and influence on the modern Batman that Tim Burton and Frank Miller's work has had, but I don't believe that the Burton films influencing the Nolan films automatically makes the Burton films better than the Nolan films.

The Millennials have killed modern cinema. They truly are the scourge of the earth.

No they haven't. I am not the scourge of the Earth. The James Bond franchise has died because people have lost interest in it, Michael Myers was made into a redneck for a bad remake of a great movie, and people don't care about Freddy Kruger anymore.

 

[Batman jr.]

Am I the only one that utterly hates Batman Returns?

The final scene of the trilogy should be the signal in the sky with Bruce preparing himself to do his job once more.

Preceded by a short but beautiful speech by Alfred.

 

[Gianakin_]

No, I hate BR as well.

I like Batman Returns, but I like your idea about the final scene of the trilogy.

WTF is cinematically defeats even mean . Batman had no problem killing in Burton's films .. You can call it "cinematically defeats" to sugar coat it all you want ,

 

[Stillsberry]

I personally feel that Batman 89 lacked any atmosphere. If there was any it felt very bland and cheap to me. Now Batman Returns is a different story.
