Visually Sin City, but overall I like the OG Batman better


Thjat's only because you were a kid when you saw it and it brings back old feelings. The Tim Burton Batman is nowhere near as good as Batman Begins in any regard. The direction is better, the acting, the story, the realism. OG Batman isn't as good as people think. Even the old Superman was better.
fool you must be trippin.....that og batman is the most "Gotham City" dark feel....TIM BURTON is perfect for a Dark Movie.....his directing is unique and one of a kind....i just dont see anything better than the OG batman....not to mention Danny Elfman with the Score and Prince with the Soundtrack....it just all went together perfect.....the theme song on it is even the greatest.......there will be no better batman movie made......just like there will never be a better snoop dogg album than his first......dont get me wrong batman begins is tight....but doesnt knock the 1st or 2nd batmans......

it does SO knock the 1st and 2nd ones if you're a real batman fan.
i understand what you guys are trying to say....but im talking about a movie here not how close it is to the actual batman comic book....when i watch the batman movies the one thats always the most enjoyable to watch is the OG.....but batman begins was a great batman movie im glad it came out like it did because i was tired of the 3rd and 4th installments of the series cause they sucked balls.....

I am talking about a movie and not just about comic book adaptation. Let's forget about he fact that Joker wasn't done correctly, or that Batman's origin was never explained properly. Just look at those stupid goofy scenes of the models and news reporters laughing themselves to death, or that God awful scene in Returns where he takes out the circus people with that electric baterang. Look at how stupid the Catwoman origin was done, or how ludicrous Penguin was. You say Begins didn't capture "GOTHAM CITY", but that's only because you only know Burton's Gotham, or at least seem to only know that one. The Gotham in the Comic Books is not like Burton's. Batman is a story about a guy that runs around and fights crime in a bat suit. The very idea is goofy and Burton poirtrayed that goofyness properly, but Batman Begins took the goofyness away, much like Frank Miller, Tim Sale, or Alan Moore did years ago. Batman Begins made you believe "this makes sense". Burton made you say "hey cool ,look how big Joker's gun is". Burton's movies have poisoned non-Batman fans into thinking this is how Batman is supposed to be. Trust me, Batman is not what Burton made him out to be.

Tim Burton is good at being weird, but I have yet to see too many good serious movies come out of this guy. He should stick to Beetlejuice and leave Batman alone. I'm just glad they never gave him Superman. Burton got way too much credit for stealing Frank Miller's Batman and ruining it. Everytime I hear some one say Burton made Batman dark I want to slap them. He ruined Miller's Batman almost as bad as Irvin Kershner, Orion and 20th Century Fox ruined Miller's Robocop 2.

Saying OG Batman is better than Begins is like saying Scarface is better than The Godfather.

you have to admit that was a pretty big gun  ;)

no but seriously to each his own i just enjoyed the first one better than any other.....im not saying he didnt ruin the real batman image or anythign im just saying i like what he did with the film it is enjoyable to me.....Begins was tight shit i liked the movie i hated the one with mr. freeze and the one with riddler those fuckin movies really sucked.....flying lights futuristic shit....too much for me......i understand some of the stuff in the OG is stupid but it was ment like that.....i totally agree that Begins is a way more serious film.....but i just enjoyed the original better.....could be cause im bias since i grew up with it like you said but also i could be bias cause i like both burtons and danny elfmans work......just might be suited a little more to my taste....

most definately the OG Batman by Tim Burton, Batman Begins is a distant third


i don't know how you can say that the OG batman was cartoonish.

Because it was. They had a futuristic city with olden day fashion and new age fashion. The main bad guy walks around with a boom box and paints museums. I could go orever if you like.

i enjoyed the Spiderman movies the most... Sin City was a great movie but i'm not about to jump on the band wagon and say i actually read the comic books

The Spiderman world spans decades and to squeeze many major high/low points during that time into 2 well done movies is amazing
