It's a matter of preference. While the nolan movies did have tons of memorable moments, one thing i definately praise the Burton movie for is it's gothic scenery and the fact that Keaton didn't make batman sound like he had lung cancer. I know i might some shit for that, but they are both good movies.

Jack Nicholson's Joker was just as well done as Heath Ledger's. Where Ledger's portrayal was dark and edgy, Nicholson's was flamboyant and twisted. Both are valid takes on the Joker as he has been written over the years.

1988 Batman is still right up there with the best comic adaptations ever done, and IMO still FAR superior to the Tobey MacGuire Spiderman movies.

I prefer the 88 Batman to the TDK trilogy. I still liked the trilogy, two great films. But the 88 Batman will always be my favorite.(saw it at a drive-in when I was little on the original release). I still say that movie has the definitive motion picture batmobile.

If you like comics, you will like Tim's batman. There's nothing wrong with it. They're all great movies, and, most importantly, they all reflect the time period they were made in, and the director's diverse talents and accomplishments.

No shame in liking Burton's Batman. I probably enjoy it more than Batman Begins or The Dark Knight Rises myself.

My order, now and forevermore, is The Dark Knight, Batman, and The Mask of the Phantasm. The three best performances of the Joker (even if Jack was too fat for the role), and the three strongest movies in the Batverse.

Of course he did. Tim Burtons batman feels like a comic book movie and isn't 2 hours too long

I personally like Batman Forever.

Honestly, I don't feel like TDK and TDK:R really felt like Batman movies. Batman Begins still had the Batman vibe because it was origin-ey and had Arkham and shit, but TDK and TDK:R lost a lot of that. I think it was actually intentional as Gotham became more affluent because the crime was cut down due to Batman and Harvey Dent, it became more clean and less Gothic. In BB, the city looks much more run-down and old like you expect Gotham to look.

Tim Burton's Batman felt a helluva lot like Batman.

TDK > Batman > Batman Begins > TDKR

Yeah, I'd probably make the same face if someone told me they like something better than than something else.

As a kid, Batman and Batman Returns were perfect for me. It filled my imagination, allowed me to have fun, and showed me how to be a super hero.

As an adult, the new Dark Knight films are better suited to my mindset today. They fill me with motivation, passion, and plenty of important ideas and themes for my brain to chew upon.

They both deliver on what they set out to do.

I'm in the "don't care" party, but I will say that Nolan's take was a bit more tense and edgy than most people really want. The trilogy would have been just a drop in the ocean if not for Heath Ledger.

same.

I love both. I wish I could take Keaton and plop him down into the TDK trilogy.

I must be an evil person because I can't stand TDK trilogy. Absolutely despise it. And love the Burton Batman movies to death.

I can't help it, there is just something about TDK that doesn't quite work with me. Maybe it's just that it's trying too hard to be gritty and "real" or something, I don't know. More power to those that like it, I'm fine with people who enjoyed them, but I didn't. At all.

Meanwhile I can still sit down and watch both Burton movies and enjoy them immensely. They haven't aged poorly at all. They are, to me, what Batman should be.

Don't hate me. sadface

I prefer the 1960's batman movie... too much nostalgia

He probably has not seen them recently.

My girlfriend and I have been through the TDK trilogy and just watched the original Tim Burton Batman movies a few days ago. She said they were okay, but I felt they were extremely dated.

Despite what people said at the time about them being "dark", I feel they are comparing to the old "WHAM, KAZOO!" version. They are still extremely comical compared to what we're used to today.

They have not aged well. The villains were laughable. The plots weren't good. None of it was "believable" like the current versions.

i was born the day batman 89 came out (june 23, 1989), that plus of how good it was it has a special place as my favorite batman movie

stanthebat · 29 days

I don't like the Nolan movies at all. I think they're dry, unimaginative, and determined to be less than the sum of the source materials. Burton's first movie was crap, too, largely because Jack Nicholson was a crap Joker, but the second one was a real treat.
