Rewatching Begins almost twenty years later, it’s easy to see why it was such a big deal. Bruce replies that there were seven and Ducard quips that he counted six. Ducard asks him if he’s so desperate to fight criminals that he’ll lock himself up with them to fight them one at a time. After getting into a fight with some of the other inmates he’s sent into solitary confinement where he finds a man named Ducard waiting for him. We flashforward to the present where the now adult Bruce Wayne is serving time in a prison in Bhutan. He’s terrified by a swarm of bats but is rescued by his father who explains that origin stories build character. Little Bruce Wayne is playing in the garden of stately Wayne manor with his friend Rachel when he trips and falls into a disused well. We’ve been stuck in the current era of movie-making for so long that Oppenheimer and Barbie felt less like movies than escape hatches.Īnyway, the movie begins with honestly a pretty baller move no opening title, just the bat symbol being formed by a swarm of shrieking bats at sunset. I think this is probably why the whole Barbenheimer phenomenon happened. Which is nuts to me because they are so clearly coming from entirely different eras of movie-making. Do you feel that Ant-Manor Legend of Ultron are noticeably different in tone and visual style to the comic book movies being made today? No, right? Well consider that the same amount of time has elapsed between those movies and now as between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins. Thankfully, we were spared the spectacle of a sobbing, psychologically scarred emo Batman by the appointment of Christopher Nolan as director, a man who has no time for your puny human emotions.Īll kidding aside, I’ve seen nine of this legend’s movies and five of them are on my all time greatest list.* I mean, Batman didn’t decide to let Akiva Goldsman write the script for Batman and Robin, why should he have to suffer? It’s honestly a little macabre how much they wanted you to know that Batman was going to have a thoroughly shitty time when this movie finally got made. Some of these proposed films, admittedly, do sound pretty interesting, like the Batman versus Superman movie starring Colin Farrell and Josh Hartnett, Darren Arronofsky’s Batman Year One or a version of Batman Beyond with Keanu Reeves as Terry McGinnis.īut the one thing that all these proposed movies have in common is that they really, really want you to know that they were going to be DARK. “Coolio as Scarecrow! Ghost Joker! MADONNA AS HARLEY QUINN!!! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!”
