Batman Begins or The Dark Knight?
The Joker is a far more interesting villain than the Scarecrow and I like Maggie Gyllenhaal because she looks like a sad turtle.

@Still_I_CryBut which one do you think is better? I like tdk more than bb, such a fantastic movie, loved the jokerI like them both. Why isn't that an option?!
Can't decide.
Needs a both option for decision challenged people like myself :D
The original Batman movie if I was forced to pick. But out of those two options then I would pick Batman Begins since the end of The Dark Knight was bull shit.
Then GTFO of this thread. I can assure you it's not meant for you.Why no option for neither?
Batman Begins is a "Batman Movie". It feels like a Batman movie. The art direction, the sets and locations they chose for Gotham, the villain(s), everything feels like it came out of a comic book.
The Dark Knight is a crime drama that just happens to have characters from the Batman universe in it. Hell, Batman's only in about a third of the movie. I like both, but they are completely different kinds of films and it's not fair to compare them.
Batman Begins is more intriguing because of the origin story. It's finally been done right.
However, Harvey Dent/Joker were much more interesting than the Scarecrow.
I honestly have to give it a tie, but I suppose I'd give the edge to Dark Knight simply because of the performances. Fantastic, shit.
Also, Jeff Gerstmann is a damn idiot for dismissing these films.
Batman Begins is awful and The Dark Knight is just average. Stick to films from a real action director.
I love them both dearly but my pick would be The Dark Knight. Let's hope The Dark Knight Rises retains the level of brilliance that the previous two films had so that Nolan will leave his Batman legacy on a high note.

I agree after having just watched the Dark Knight again.
I can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises.

Always good for a laugh I see.
What's funny about knowing about film? Come back to Chris Nolan once you've seen more than whatever shit is in your local multiplex this weekend and maybe you'll stop wowing over the generic.@probablytuna said:

You're so cute when you're all anti-conformist <3 Also, no offence intended but... why are you still here? Seriously, it seems you only linger around until some movie talk is brought up, and you're already well seated in screened at this point; I'd always figure you'd simply start hang where there's bound to be much more like-minded folkingtons, instead of a forum dedicated to a hobby you appear to be long past. Unless you just enjoy pissing on everyone's bonfire around here... which, hey, is certainly understandable, I guess.

I got really excited because I thought he was either banned or just left.

I'm not anti-conformist, I just don't get the big deal around Chris Nolan. Insomnia, Memento and The Prestige are all great, but he's a really poor action director so when I see people all hot and bothered over The Dark Knight, or worse, Inception, I feel the need to bonfire piss in an increasingly vain attempt to see what's good about them and I have yet to get any answers that tell me more than that person has only ever gone to see movies advertised on IGN.@HandsomeDead said:

Screened was good, but then guys like Le_Samourai and Yuri I'm-not-even-going-to-try-and-spell-the-surname kind of stopped posting and now it just seems to be talk of shitty horror films and what is everyone's favourite Quentin Tarantino movie. It's a shame because while Alex tries way too hard, Rorie and his commitment to the community is full of potential.

I'm changing my username across all sites once I find the right one. The word Handsome will not be in it. It has been tainted.
Pretty much this. Though I dd like Raz Al Ghul as the second baddy. I really hope he pops up in DKR.The Joker is a far more interesting villain than the Scarecrow and I like Maggie Gyllenhaal because she looks like a sad turtle.
The Dark Knight I prefer film wise, but as others have said, Batman Begins is perhaps the better Batman film as it focuses much more on Batman compared to the Dark Kinght (which looks a lot at the Joker and the organised criminal aspect of Gotham City).
However I enjoyed both films.

No one could seriously think that their statement is valid when they're making baseless assertions about what others do. Worse, what others do in the privacy of their homes. Even worse, when they're making assertions about people they don't know and have no contact with outside of an online forum. Or making a statement, which they pass off as definitive, that is only backed up with their own personal conjecture after stating that they have some knowledge in regard to "knowing about film".
Even better, when they state that movies (all movies) in the cinema are definitively "shit" without having seen them (Even the movies like Melancholia that are well received (not only by critics)) are not separated from the alleged "shit".
Where does your knowledge about films come from?

I like Liam Neeson and I think he was a great Raz Al Ghul.
It looks like he will be in it according to IMDB
