@LiteWeightReacting Look up the composer of the score and that extensive body of work that makes up a vast amount of most people's favorite films! 2nd...

UR GONNA LOVE THIS ONE!! Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman as rivaling magicians?! 😮 (The rules set up in this movie's storyline, he masterfully used in his own filmmaking on INCEPTION... a hint to help ya figure a very ambiguous ending) After Dark Knight, of course, was Inception... Which WILL break ur brain 1st viewing, BUT... Remember the rules from Prestige!😊 Finally, sum homework... catch up with the Batman: No Man's Land comic series run (TH-cam Comicstorian or Comis Explained for that story visualized) and Cliff's Notes the novel A Tale Between Two Cities b4 jumping into Dark Knight Rises!! ...

@@LiteWeightReacting the scarf had his blood on it from being punched in the bar, so I don't think he wanted to leave his DNA on him, since he told the homeless man that they were going to be looking for him.
This movie portrays the death of the parents the best. There's something about the abrupt chaos that happens in seconds after Thomas trying his hardest to calm the situation. It doesn't drag out the deaths. It doesn't try to be overly dramatic. It happens so fast that a part of Bruce's problem is that he's never given the time to grief and cope. It goes from death to funeral in a flash to Bruce. You can see how he could hold on to that. How his view on life and death means so much more to him because to him, life could be over in seconds.
@@LiteWeightReacting looking forward to TDK. I'm actually more interested in your TDKR reaction since you are familiar with Batman lore. Watching your Arkham videos now.
I just found your channel, through this video specifically. I also just subscribed... You get it. I've seen many reactions to this movie but I think yours might be my favorite so far, because you get what the movie makers were trying to do and you clearly know your stuff (I'm not saying everyone should know everything about Batman before watching this, but some people seemingly don't even know his origin story, like, perhaps the most famous superhero origin story ever! Anyway...). Long story short, I'm very happy you enjoyed watching this movie, and I really enjoyed watching you enjoy it and I look forward to watch more of your videos :3
"you find yourself wishing the person you loved never existed - your anger makes you strong" Liam Neeson to Bruce Wayne. So powerful and resonates with me. Little did poor Liam know that just a few years later he would actually lose his wife in real life😢
Word. My cuz and I were/are Liam fans, and you can see how he just started making movies a lot more. Like... a lot, a lot more. When his wife passed. If you watch Love Actually, you will see bit of it.
Yeah. I’m not all that familiar with Natasha Richardson’s work. I could just tell you she played the mother of Lindsey Lohan’s twin characters and Dennis Quaid’s love interest/ex wife in the Parent Trap remake. 😊
Some sort of brain bleed after a skiing accident if I remember correctly. Neeson buried himself in his work. I can’t really blame him. He did better than my dad did after my mom died.
@@danorm87 True. Even if "The Batman" is the best batman movie specifically in my eyes, Nolans batman is certainly one of the best if not the best superhero trilogy. And the villain in 2 and 3 are dope.
This is actually my favorite of the trilogy, because it highlights Bruce's background as an honest-to-god freaking ninja. As a fellow martial artist, I think it really made Batman more accurate to the comics. Him hiding in the shadows, using his environment, showing that he's more than just a suit and "wonderful toys". The other two movies (as well as every other movie, I suppose) never really do a great job of showcasing his martial arts training enough.
This is definitely what's missing for me in most renditions of Batman, he's supposed to be so good at that kind of thing that people don't even think he's human at first, which is what makes him terrifying
@@hellomark1 Yup - and it's not me hating on the others in the trilogy! I love them! I do just love Bruce being also able to showcase his martial arts, not just be the "world's greatest detective".
So many great one liners in this film. "It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me." also "Does it come in black?" Another wonderful video Lite!
Loved this reaction! It's rare to find someone who is a fan of batman that hasn't seen these movies, and it made for a unique perspective. Really enjoyed how giddy you were throughout. Your laugh is infectious, and it really lifted my spirits today. Hope you're doing well, and can't wait for your next upload.
The Dark Knight is amazing, but all 3 of the Nolan Batman films are great. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of Batman begins until I rewatched it again during the Dark Knight Rise premiere. It's a origin film, so it's a bit slower than the other 2 film BUT it's pretty good regardless
“You burned my house and left me for dead. Consider us even.” Most people seem to find this weird, but it makes sense. Bruce burned Ra’s Al Ghul’s home and left him (or who he thought Ra’s was) for dead. In his mind, he saved Ducard. Anyhow, love this reaction! You earned yourself a new subscriber 🎉
YESSS!!! You posted "Batman Begins"!!! I remember seeing this when it first came out in 2005 and I was working in New Mexico at the time. I was 19 and the only Batman movies I remember were those God-awful Schumacher movies with Mr. Freeze and Bat-nipples, Lol!!! And when this movie came out, it done changed the game. Finally, Batman done right!!! It reminded me of the "Batman Animated Series" I watched as a kid and they finally put in Scarecrow, one of the menacing and horrifying psychopaths of the Batman rogue villains. If you read "Batman: The Long Halloween" and "Year One", Scarecrow is a murdering killer. Thanks to TH-cam, we can connect more and people can share their comments and experiences with Batman and the rest of the movies. One of my personal favorites!!! 🖤🦇
I’ve obviously seen some memes and pics from the movie but I’m kinda in the dark on the series as a whole so I can’t wait to see what the hype is about!
the one thing about any Batman iteration I can't handle is seeing Alfred in pain, specially suffering for Bruce's safety. that's one of the reasons I loved Arkham Origins storytelling
In the k-drama "Run On" that line was given as the main character's motivation for becoming a subtitle translator -- "Without subtitles, I'd never have understood this profound line," she said.
This is my fav Batman trilogy the music by Hans Zimmer is amazing and the acting and real world ish take on the characters is great. There are some very good animated DC films that you will also love, Batman under the Red Hood, Justice League Flashpoint
@@ItApproaches it's not the same as the traditional Ras' backstory. In the Nolanverse, there is no real supernatural plot threads so there are two possibilities. 1. Liam Nesson IS Ras' and has one human life but uses decoy's as a front while he controls from the shadows. 2. The title of Ras' Al Ghul is an honorific title passed down to the leader of the league or shadows (assassins) and Liam Nesson Is the current Ras' Al Ghul.
I still don't know how I had not found your channel before, but I am glad I did. This is still one of my favorite trilogies, and thank you for taking the time to do this reaction🌹
*“And one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain”* This movie helped me to get through a rough break up years ago. My favourite from this amazing trilogy.
Great film that really shows how Bruce Wayne developed his fighting skills and toughness. Now we know how he learned to kick butt. And that ending was awesome. Batman didnt kill anyone. But he didnt have to help Rha's Al Ghul either. Clever, clever.
That's actually letting someone die. I dunno why that decision was made to do it that way. 😅 An actual liability. It got way too technical and semantic there.
"And one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain." This line hits really different knowing that Liam Neeson would lose his wife a few short years later.
I 100% agree with the dark feel of this movie being what makes it a good movie. I grew up with the original Batman series on tv. Yes I am an older than dirt. I had watched all the major Batman movies, it was not until I saw this Batman that I felt they finally captured the dark Batman the character was always meant to be. #5 still binge watching your videos. Someone please stop me. 😃
Fun fact: That nightmare Batman Crane saw at 26:10 was not CGI, it was an actual mask. Back when movies went the extra mile with practical effects sometimes, instead of always computer, I love it. 😄 Glad you're loving the Nolanverse trilogy! 🦇🦇
23:00 'Swear to that poor falafel vendor you just ripped off and GIVE HIM HIS DAMN MONEY BACK!' An all-star cast gives us the definitive Batman film. Got me into all the other Nolan films too.
Thanks for your reaction and comments. You make a sensitive and warm impression 😊 That always touches me. I look forward to more good films with you😘 Best greets from ger. 🤗
I'm starting to like the real world look at Bruce's family that's been given to us in the last decade. It's just like what the Alfred from the Batman TellTale series said, his family were billionaires. And we all know you don't get that kind of money, power, and influence by playing by the rules, being kind, and generous. It's like how we all know Tony Stark's families' money mainly came from making weapons for the government. Plus, Bruce was only 8 years old when he lost his parents, so he only remembers them through his child-like innocence as being loving and kind, and going by how most of the people around him choose to remember them. There are things about them that he may not know about because he was too young to know.
The idea that his mother's side of the family has a history of mental illness is something that's been apparent since before they used it in The Batman film and the Batman: Earth One graphic novels. Between his other cousin, Elizabeth being kidnapped and brainwashed into being a deranged killer named Alice, and the Flashpoint version of his mother, Martha, going insane and becoming that reality's version of the Joker, the fact that Alfred thought that Bruce was a bit crazy when he started becoming Batman make more sense in that context if it runs in the family. Not to mention I've long since theorized that the Wayne family might share blood with one of Gotham's most notorious crime families; possibly the Falcones. Like either his grandmother or his great-grandmother might've been a Falcone that married into the Wayne family, which just ties back into his family being not all that clean. But this just comes from me playing Mafia games and watching mafia movies and thinking that Bruce kinda looks Italian. (The slick black hair, the blue eyes, the tough guy attitude, and the need to avenge his family.)
So glad to see you watching this teegan. Christopher Nolan did such a phenomenal job on these barman movies,and Christian bale is amazing as batman. Incredible reaction video. Stay awesome
In defense of the bats, no you won't get touched by them. Their ultrasound 3D-imaging is super precise, plus their little brains process the data much faster than we do. To them, we are sluggish giants moving in slow motion, so they have zero problems to avoid even the slightest accidental contact. Pretty cool little buggers, they are.
Really liked both reactions so far! Feels really genuine and honest. One of the best new reactors out there right now. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one!
Glad you enjoyed this! There’s something special about this one. Probably my favorite Batman movie- not the best film featuring the character (that’s next, IMO)- but definitely the best one that focuses on him. Can’t wait for you to see Heath’s performance in the next movie. Truly legendary performance.
Great reaction! I love how you're tackling the Nolan films, easily my favorite director going right now. I like how you're not running through the Batman trilogy consecutively. Great choice! Omg, Inception might be one of the better films of all time. Can't wait to see your reaction! Should be a fun ride 😊
The Prestige is my favorite Christopher Nolan film, and one of my Top 10 favorites of all time. You'll see a re-teaming of Bruce and Alfred, plus Wolverine and Black Widow. And a wonderful surprise appearance by a famous musician as well as an unrecognizable NEW Alfred. It's a period piece with amazing sets and costumes, top notch performances by everyone.
For only reacting to two movies (this and the wonderful "Interstellar"), I have to say that you did a marvelous job on both. And from the number of comments, it looks like your channel will grow very rapidly, especially since you let the films breath without over talking or over reacting. I was so impressed that I decided to subscribe. Keep up the great work.
Awesome reaction to this epic film In my opinion the Dark Knight trilogy and the Batman 2022 are the best we've seen of Batman on the big screen. Both Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves nailed it Never really cared all that much for Tim Burton's Batman films but I love the visuals style and the music in those films
Christopher Nolan set out to create a Batman world that was realistic (or as realistic as a comic book movie can be). He wanted to showcase what these characters would be like if they existed in the real world. It's still mostly comic book accurate but less mystical and magical. Also this predates the MCU and Arkham Games, and you can see this movie's influences on Iron Man's origin It's okay to like both Marvel and DC haha. Early Marvel was top tier and of course Infinity Saga. I hope you watch Zack Snyder's Man of Steel eventually
It was no bearing on Iron Man, the film. When you started going on about "it's ok to like..." i knew it was going to be a comparison,"which is better" social media thing. That's so 2016, if ever...
@@genghisgalahad8465 What do you mean? Talk about projection. I praised early MCU and the Infinity Saga. Not once did I saw one was better than another. I was being legit that it's okay to like both. Jon Favreau (director of Iron Man) even said in an interview he liked seeing Batman put his suit together in Batman Begins and it inspired him during certain scenes in Iron Man (specifically when he's in the cave making the first suit in Iron Man)
When I look at reactors, reacting to movies, the first thing I look at is how the reactions are done. And the EDITING of the clips that you show. You nailed it. Good balance of your reactions and showing the parts of the movie that I felt were important. Subscribing and looking forward to seeing more of your reactions.
Thanks! This is reassuring because I’ve had a few comments on this video saying I talked too much and cut too much out! But this video was really tough to not get blocked!
Greetings from Colorado..This trilogy is LEGIT. Wait til you see the dark knight. It's good you get the whole idea of batman. Your reactions are great. You follow the movie and the premise instead of making unnecessary comments. Can't wait to see your take on other movies!!
Just watched the full version, thanks for getting it up! Definitely worth the wait, really enjoyed both the movie and the reaction. I remember seeing these movies before but it's been so long that almost all of it feels new to me, really looking forward to more reactions😄
28:29 "He Looks Like A Dementor" It's funny you should mention that, Teagan. Considering that the actor who played Commissioner Gordon is Gary Oldman, the actor who played Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series
Every time a line get repeated and comes back around is MWAH chef's kiss! The most goosebumps: "It's not who am I underneath, but what I do that defines me". Mixed with the music, and then him just jumping off the roof after
Absolutely amazing reaction!! Really enjoyed it, especially since you're a fan of Batman. You had mentioned Inception last time so Im really looking forward to that reaction, whether it's the next one or down the line - REALLY enjoying these!!
Hype is well deserved, whatever bar is set from reading or hearing about it, I am sure it won't disappoint even if your expectations are really high!@@LiteWeightReacting
That's so cool that you've already checked out Batman across all media, that original animated series is largely considered the core "mythology", as far as telling the pure story and nailing the characters and tone, and the animated theatrical film Mask of the Phantasm is still one of the best Batman movies. BTW (you may already know this) the Nolan films were a very purposeful departure from the other versions, he never intended to make something that would fit into a superhero universe. These are more like a "what if Batman existed in the real world" experiment, and that's why some elements may feel less fantastical, more weighted in reality compared to all those other versions. I hope you enjoy the series, because they get even better from here!
Yes, he's the same blonde kid! He also has a bit part in the true story, Lone survivor. Part 2 is amazing. Heath ledger dies before finishing, a few minutes of his scenes are CGI. He and Nolan decided, no one would see him on set or his dailies...no other actors, set people, etc. the first time at the party, when joker finally shows up, Michael Kaine is so freaked out, he forgets his lines! Maggie is so terrified, she said later she almost peed herself, and had to be alone in her trailer a couple days afterwards! Aaron as 2 face said, he was in his hospital room, as joker, walking and talking to himself. They both start talking about each other, addlibbed lines, talking about previous scenes. Nolan clears the room out and starts rolling cameras, without them knowing. After about 30 minutes, he stops and says to Aaron and Heath, I've got enough. Heath leans over Aaron who's laying in bed, gives him a smile and says, "Now THAT'S acting!"
23:36 That was Jack Gleeson's first ever movie role, and yes, he went on to play Joffrey. He retired after Joffrey was killed off to focus on his life and studies, but has since returned to occasional acting here and there.
I am going to look forward to seeing you fall in love with the old and the new :). Was a fun watch, sorry you had so many issues with copyright. Had to sub
I love these films, they are just simply great and Nolan's adherence to realism makes them truly special. None of the "super powered" anything, its all grounded and so happy he went that route with them :)
@@LiteWeightReacting 100% i would agree with that. Its very refreshing to see someone approach their films in such a way. Especially in a world where everything has to be bigger, and flashy and always trying to out due what has come before. The next film is something else though, so get ready lol
8:10 What's very sad is that just a few short years after Batman Begins, Liam Neeson actually went through that pain for real. He was vacationing with his wife in Canada, taking some skiing lessons at Mont Tremblant Resort, when she fell and hit her head. She was wearing a helmet, but it was a very nasty fall. She at first refused medical help, then started to develop a migraine within 2 hours of the fall. She fell unconscious, was flown to a specialist head trauma unit in New York, where she died two days later from an epidural hematoma.
15:05 When Fox asks Bruce what his interest in the body armour is, TH-cam's auto-captions have his reply down as "I want to borrow it... for spanking." 🤣
I just discovered your channel, but I think I am already a fan! I appreciate how you enjoyed the music! Christopher Nolan movies are seemingly almost always have the score composed by Hans Zimmer (they worked together on Interstellar and Inception as well). His signature style is using minimal different rhythms, but repeating similar themes throughout and just adding layers over time and makes it sound so epic! He is a master at getting the music to fit the movie perfectly and it really adds to the movie experience! Enjoyed your reaction, subscribed, will look forward to your other reactions!
I love this movie (way more than the rest of the trilogy, although I like those too) and I LOVE the soundtrack. I think it's pretty great how that main 'crescendo' theme basically takes the old dinner-ninner-ninner-BATMAN theme and turns it into this gothic epic da-na-na-na-na-na-BRAAAAP-BRAAAAAAAP motif instead. It's like the legacy is in there but it's subtle enough that it doesn't come out sounding camp. Probably my favourite thing about the whole movie.
Of his movies, Inception, Interstellar and Memento get requested the most on reaction channels. It's not underrated. Underrated would be The Prestige or Insomnia.
Awesome reaction Mrs. Lite! I remember not hearing much about this movie when it dropped so a couple of years later I decided to get the DVD, no expectations and when I say it gave me a whole new appreciation for Batman and film making in general. Christopher Nolan is a genius cause didn't think he could top this one. Hence if it wasn't for BRAVEHEART the Dark Knight would be my absolute favorite movie of all time.
The sound of the Batmobile/tumbler in the theatres was INCREDIBLE. Nolan gets some flack for his choices on sound mixing/design on occasion, but in this case he absolutely killed it.
This is actually my favourite Batman film, Liteweight. I remember seeing it in the cinema in 2005 and being absolutely blown away by how it functioned as a serious film with serious actors, mature character motivations, and for the first time seeing a story being fascinated by Bruce Wayne himself. It occupies the perfect space for where I want Batman to live which is logically going through real world justifications for its most fantastical elements (the Batmobile is a tank, the villain remains immortal by continually passing the baton to different lieutenants, etc. etc.) while still living within the horror genre. Other entries are more beloved by critics and fans but they do tend to lose that supernaturally-tinged edge that was perfected in this movie and the wonderful Arkham games. It also warms my heart to see Cillian Murphy finally get full recognition from both the Academy and as a Christopher Nolan mainstay with his titular role in _Oppenheimer_ . But I also recommend these other Nolan films that more people should react to : - _Insomnia_ (2002) with Al Pacino and Robin Williams - _The Prestige_ (2006) with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman
The League of Shadows and League of Assassins both exist and are affiliated, mostly by Ra's being in charge of both. Different storylines have Ra's handing over (or losing) control of one or the other to various people like Shiva or whomever. The Shadows is more of a cult where the assassins are straight up assassins for hire.

If you read "Batman: The Long Halloween" and "Year One", Scarecrow is a murdering killer. Thanks to TH-cam, we can connect more and people can share their comments and experiences with Batman and the rest of the movies. One of my personal favorites!!! 🖤🦇
I loved how David Goyer literally took inspiration from Scarecrow's first appearance in the Animated Series. "Taste of your own medicine, Doctor?"
It’s always a good idea to pay homage to the source material! Especially when the source material is so damn good!
23:35
"Is That Who Think It Is?, Joffery?"
It most definitely is Jack Gleason, who played Jeffery Lannister in "Game Of Thrones"
Excited to see you start this journey of The Dark Knight Trilogy with Batman Begins, and you’ll absolutely love them
Loved this one!! Can’t wait for the rest!
@@LiteWeightReacting The Dark Knight is easily the absolute best, and you’ll love Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker in the next movie
I’ve obviously seen some memes and pics from the movie but I’m kinda in the dark on the series as a whole so I can’t wait to see what the hype is about!
the one thing about any Batman iteration I can't handle is seeing Alfred in pain, specially suffering for Bruce's safety. that's one of the reasons I loved Arkham Origins storytelling
Good point! I loved Michael Caine as Alfred!
“Why do we fall?” Such a powerful line. Batman never misses. That’s why he is my favorite.
He’s so quotable!
In the k-drama "Run On" that line was given as the main character's motivation for becoming a subtitle translator -- "Without subtitles, I'd never have understood this profound line," she said.
why we fart is cuz Alford loves the smell of the dark knight
This is my fav Batman trilogy the music by Hans Zimmer is amazing and the acting and real world ish take on the characters is great. There are some very good animated DC films that you will also love, Batman under the Red Hood, Justice League Flashpoint
Slowly learning Hans Zimmer is the freakin GOAT!
yes yes yes@@LiteWeightReacting
@LiteWeightReacting time will tell just how MUCH this is true! So many more to come, The Dark Knight awaits... 🤡
@@LiteWeightReacting yes he was the man mostly everything
Pound for pound the DC animated movies are better than the WB/DC live action films.
I loved the integration of Ras' Al Ghul in the Nolanverse, they came up with a play on the theme of immortality but in a realistic grounded setting.
I agree!! It all made sense!
I mean Ra's wouldn't stay dead. He would have been brough back via the Pit off screen.
@@ItApproaches it's not the same as the traditional Ras' backstory.
In the Nolanverse, there is no real supernatural plot threads so there are two possibilities.
1. Liam Nesson IS Ras' and has one human life but uses decoy's as a front while he controls from the shadows.
2. The title of Ras' Al Ghul is an honorific title passed down to the leader of the league or shadows (assassins) and Liam Nesson Is the current Ras' Al Ghul.
I still don't know how I had not found your channel before, but I am glad I did. This is still one of my favorite trilogies, and thank you for taking the time to do this reaction🌹
Hello! Don’t feel bad! My channel is new as of January!! 😊 I’m glad you found me!
i relate to that glad i found her channel too ❤
*“And one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain”*
This movie helped me to get through a rough break up years ago.
My favourite from this amazing trilogy.
It's going to be interesting watching these reactions since you have some Batman knowledge. I hope no one spoils them for you.
All my comments are screened before I read them so no need to worry about being spoiled 😊
It is all about the perfect balance these films have. So much heart, soul, character, humor and action all in perfect harmony.
Great film that really shows how Bruce Wayne developed his fighting skills and toughness.
Now we know how he learned to kick butt.
And that ending was awesome.
Batman didnt kill anyone.
But he didnt have to help Rha's Al Ghul either.
Clever, clever.
Certainly seems like they caused a lot of drama with that decision!
That's actually letting someone die. I dunno why that decision was made to do it that way. 😅 An actual liability. It got way too technical and semantic there.
"And one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain."
This line hits really different knowing that Liam Neeson would lose his wife a few short years later.
Loved your reaction! You got yourself a new fan here. Can’t wait for you to see the next two films.
Awesome! Thanks so much! Just recorded my inception reaction and then the Dark Knight will be next!!!
the scene where the camera rotates around batman as he looks down on the city is so iconic....such a comic book snapshot....so good
Super looking forward to this one!
Thank you 😊
I 100% agree with the dark feel of this movie being what makes it a good movie. I grew up with the original Batman series on tv. Yes I am an older than dirt. I had watched all the major Batman movies, it was not until I saw this Batman that I felt they finally captured the dark Batman the character was always meant to be. #5 still binge watching your videos. Someone please stop me. 😃
That's basically my reaction every time I watch this movie. So good
It really is so good!
Fun fact: That nightmare Batman Crane saw at 26:10 was not CGI, it was an actual mask. Back when movies went the extra mile with practical effects sometimes, instead of always computer, I love it. 😄 Glad you're loving the Nolanverse trilogy! 🦇🦇
23:00 'Swear to that poor falafel vendor you just ripped off and GIVE HIM HIS DAMN MONEY BACK!'
An all-star cast gives us the definitive Batman film. Got me into all the other Nolan films too.
Can’t wait to watch the rest!!
Thanks for your reaction and comments. You make a sensitive and warm impression 😊 That always touches me. I look forward to more good films with you😘 Best greets from ger. 🤗
Aww thank you! That makes me so happy to know!
LOVED YOUR REACTION! DYING TO SEE THE NEXT TWO IN THE TRILOGY!!!😂
Awesome! So excited to share my reactions with you 😊
5:45 That is only recent history that have been written that way, for most of Batman's 85 year old history his parents have been upstanding citizens.
That’s what I thought! In this movie it felt like they were not only upstanding but perfect citizens!
I'm starting to like the real world look at Bruce's family that's been given to us in the last decade. It's just like what the Alfred from the Batman TellTale series said, his family were billionaires. And we all know you don't get that kind of money, power, and influence by playing by the rules, being kind, and generous. It's like how we all know Tony Stark's families' money mainly came from making weapons for the government. Plus, Bruce was only 8 years old when he lost his parents, so he only remembers them through his child-like innocence as being loving and kind, and going by how most of the people around him choose to remember them. There are things about them that he may not know about because he was too young to know.
The idea that his mother's side of the family has a history of mental illness is something that's been apparent since before they used it in The Batman film and the Batman: Earth One graphic novels. Between his other cousin, Elizabeth being kidnapped and brainwashed into being a deranged killer named Alice, and the Flashpoint version of his mother, Martha, going insane and becoming that reality's version of the Joker, the fact that Alfred thought that Bruce was a bit crazy when he started becoming Batman make more sense in that context if it runs in the family. Not to mention I've long since theorized that the Wayne family might share blood with one of Gotham's most notorious crime families; possibly the Falcones. Like either his grandmother or his great-grandmother might've been a Falcone that married into the Wayne family, which just ties back into his family being not all that clean. But this just comes from me playing Mafia games and watching mafia movies and thinking that Bruce kinda looks Italian. (The slick black hair, the blue eyes, the tough guy attitude, and the need to avenge his family.)
“Training is nothing. Will. Is Everything. The will to act.”
So many good lines!
So glad to see you watching this teegan. Christopher Nolan did such a phenomenal job on these barman movies,and Christian bale is amazing as batman. Incredible reaction video. Stay awesome
Thanks Cosmic Draco! I loved this!
In defense of the bats, no you won't get touched by them. Their ultrasound 3D-imaging is super precise, plus their little brains process the data much faster than we do. To them, we are sluggish giants moving in slow motion, so they have zero problems to avoid even the slightest accidental contact. Pretty cool little buggers, they are.
Oh that’s really cool!
Really liked both reactions so far! Feels really genuine and honest. One of the best new reactors out there right now. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one!
Thank you Justin! Just recorded my reaction to Inception last night. Hope you’ll check that one out to when it drops! 😊
Glad you enjoyed this! There’s something special about this one. Probably my favorite Batman movie- not the best film featuring the character (that’s next, IMO)- but definitely the best one that focuses on him.
Can’t wait for you to see Heath’s performance in the next movie. Truly legendary performance.
I can’t wait as well! Lots of hype!!
Nolan wanted a Batman without supernatural elements. So in this one, Ra's Al Ghul's "immortality" comes down to parlour tricks.
2:40 The animated series had flashbacks to Bruce's pre Batman training in some episodes but this film was the first to show it in live action.
That’s awesome! Thanks for pointing that out!
Great reaction! I love how you're tackling the Nolan films, easily my favorite director going right now.
I like how you're not running through the Batman trilogy consecutively. Great choice!
Omg, Inception might be one of the better films of all time. Can't wait to see your reaction!
Should be a fun ride 😊
Yay! So happy my strategy makes sense! Can’t wait to share all my reactions with you!!
Ah great film, Liam Neeson did an amazing job as Ra Al Goul, Lite i can't believe this is you're first time watching, Where you been😂.
I know! I wasn’t huge into Batman until I had my gaming channel!
GOOD TO SEE LITEWEIGHT DOING REACTIONS!
Thomas in 2005 "Don't be afraid"
Thomas in 2016 "Martha"
WHY DID U SAY THAT NAME
The Prestige is my favorite Christopher Nolan film, and one of my Top 10 favorites of all time. You'll see a re-teaming of Bruce and Alfred, plus Wolverine and Black Widow. And a wonderful surprise appearance by a famous musician as well as an unrecognizable NEW Alfred. It's a period piece with amazing sets and costumes, top notch performances by everyone.
Can’t wait to see it! Watching it in between TDK and TDKR
For only reacting to two movies (this and the wonderful "Interstellar"), I have to say that you did a marvelous job on both. And from the number of comments, it looks like your channel will grow very rapidly, especially since you let the films breath without over talking or over reacting. I was so impressed that I decided to subscribe. Keep up the great work.
That makes me so happy!!! I’m having so much fun with this and I’m glad you are too! Inception is up next!
I find it so friggin adorable that she cries during all of the dramatic moments! 😍
This movie and Spider-Man 2 are true cinema from the early 2000’s. Looking forward to The Dark Knight reaction 😌
Facts man. In my opinion, Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight are the greatest superhero films ever made.
Can’t wait to see what the hype is about with The Dark Knight!
@@LiteWeightReacting It’s an incredible movie. Heath Ledger’s performance was iconic.
the 2nd and 3rd films in the nolan batman series are the real masterpieces.
Anne Hathaway ruined the third one.
@@bossfan49 no matter your particular caveat, it was good.
Awesome reaction to this epic film
In my opinion the Dark Knight trilogy and the Batman 2022 are the best we've seen of Batman on the big screen. Both Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves nailed it
Never really cared all that much for Tim Burton's Batman films but I love the visuals style and the music in those films
Thank you! Can’t wait to continue with this trilogy!
Agreed! Batman 2022 was a great surprise.. Pattinson nailed it!
I love your genuine emotions and I think Nolan's filmography is the best way to begin. Great reaction, I'll be waiting the next one!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video and can’t wait to share my future Nolan reactions with you!
When ever some one is reacting to Batman Begins, my first thought is "oh I can't wait till they get to The Dark Knight" 🙂
Haha awesome! Inception is up next as I continue my Christopher Nolan binge but then The Dark Knight will be next!
The way she knew it was Bruce immediately broke my heart into pieces. I LOVE BATMAN!
Again with the scarf...scarfs are sespools of germs. He was doing him a favor by burning it. Keep the fire going. 😀
🤣🤣
My favorite of the trilogy, and it is a genuine pleasure watching someone enjoy it as much as you did.
Christopher Nolan set out to create a Batman world that was realistic (or as realistic as a comic book movie can be). He wanted to showcase what these characters would be like if they existed in the real world. It's still mostly comic book accurate but less mystical and magical. Also this predates the MCU and Arkham Games, and you can see this movie's influences on Iron Man's origin
It's okay to like both Marvel and DC haha. Early Marvel was top tier and of course Infinity Saga. I hope you watch Zack Snyder's Man of Steel eventually
It was no bearing on Iron Man, the film. When you started going on about "it's ok to like..." i knew it was going to be a comparison,"which is better" social media thing. That's so 2016, if ever...
@@genghisgalahad8465 What do you mean? Talk about projection. I praised early MCU and the Infinity Saga. Not once did I saw one was better than another. I was being legit that it's okay to like both. Jon Favreau (director of Iron Man) even said in an interview he liked seeing Batman put his suit together in Batman Begins and it inspired him during certain scenes in Iron Man (specifically when he's in the cave making the first suit in Iron Man)
can't wait for you to watch the other two - the endings on both make me cry Every. Time. Christopher Nolan + Hans Zimmer is just a perfect match.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see the next two to see what the hype is all about!
When I look at reactors, reacting to movies, the first thing I look at is how the reactions are done. And the EDITING of the clips that you show. You nailed it. Good balance of your reactions and showing the parts of the movie that I felt were important. Subscribing and looking forward to seeing more of your reactions.
Thanks! This is reassuring because I’ve had a few comments on this video saying I talked too much and cut too much out! But this video was really tough to not get blocked!
Greetings from Colorado..This trilogy is LEGIT. Wait til you see the dark knight. It's good you get the whole idea of batman. Your reactions are great. You follow the movie and the premise instead of making unnecessary comments. Can't wait to see your take on other movies!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching can’t wait to watch more!
Just watched the full version, thanks for getting it up! Definitely worth the wait, really enjoyed both the movie and the reaction. I remember seeing these movies before but it's been so long that almost all of it feels new to me, really looking forward to more reactions😄
Thanks! This was such a nightmare to get uploaded! Hopefully with my new PC I won’t have as many issues moving forward!
Wow. Actually crying during the sad parts. You're going to be very successful at this reaction channel.
Thanks! I’m having a lot of fun with this channel so far!
28:29
"He Looks Like A Dementor"
It's funny you should mention that, Teagan. Considering that the actor who played Commissioner Gordon is Gary Oldman, the actor who played Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series
Every time a line get repeated and comes back around is MWAH chef's kiss! The most goosebumps: "It's not who am I underneath, but what I do that defines me". Mixed with the music, and then him just jumping off the roof after
Goosebumps! The writing mixed with the score mixed with the delivery of the line… epic
Absolutely amazing reaction!! Really enjoyed it, especially since you're a fan of Batman. You had mentioned Inception last time so Im really looking forward to that reaction, whether it's the next one or down the line - REALLY enjoying these!!
So glad you’re enjoying these! Inception is next and will be released on February 7th!
knowing all the batman lore and never seeing these movies was probably such a treat to get to watch.
You're completely right when you mentioned "A similar filming location to Interstellar", both were filmed on the same glacier in Iceland (my country!)
The music in these movies is so freaking good!
Hans Zimmer the friggen GOAT!
I love your reaction you having the background knowledge made this a truly fun experience to another Batman fan!
Nolan knew how to make a great trilogy, I look forward to the next ones, great video.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see what the hype is about!
Hype is well deserved, whatever bar is set from reading or hearing about it, I am sure it won't disappoint even if your expectations are really high!@@LiteWeightReacting
That's so cool that you've already checked out Batman across all media, that original animated series is largely considered the core "mythology", as far as telling the pure story and nailing the characters and tone, and the animated theatrical film Mask of the Phantasm is still one of the best Batman movies. BTW (you may already know this) the Nolan films were a very purposeful departure from the other versions, he never intended to make something that would fit into a superhero universe. These are more like a "what if Batman existed in the real world" experiment, and that's why some elements may feel less fantastical, more weighted in reality compared to all those other versions. I hope you enjoy the series, because they get even better from here!
I think Nolan’s take is a super interesting one! I’m liking it a lot so far and can’t wait to see the Dark Knight!
BATMAN BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, he's the same blonde kid! He also has a bit part in the true story, Lone survivor. Part 2 is amazing. Heath ledger dies before finishing, a few minutes of his scenes are CGI. He and Nolan decided, no one would see him on set or his dailies...no other actors, set people, etc. the first time at the party, when joker finally shows up, Michael Kaine is so freaked out, he forgets his lines! Maggie is so terrified, she said later she almost peed herself, and had to be alone in her trailer a couple days afterwards! Aaron as 2 face said, he was in his hospital room, as joker, walking and talking to himself. They both start talking about each other, addlibbed lines, talking about previous scenes. Nolan clears the room out and starts rolling cameras, without them knowing. After about 30 minutes, he stops and says to Aaron and Heath, I've got enough. Heath leans over Aaron who's laying in bed, gives him a smile and says, "Now THAT'S acting!"
23:36 That was Jack Gleeson's first ever movie role, and yes, he went on to play Joffrey. He retired after Joffrey was killed off to focus on his life and studies, but has since returned to occasional acting here and there.
I am going to look forward to seeing you fall in love with the old and the new :). Was a fun watch, sorry you had so many issues with copyright. Had to sub
Probably my favorite Batman film. Your reaction was really awesome.
Hans Zimmer’s score in this trilogy is pure magic. You’ll hear this music in your head for a very long time
Just like Interstellar! Hans is the goat of movie scores!
Can’t wait to see your journey thru the Nolan-verse of the dark knight franchise. You’re gonna love it !
I can’t wait to share it with all of you 😊
I love these films, they are just simply great and Nolan's adherence to realism makes them truly special. None of the "super powered" anything, its all grounded and so happy he went that route with them :)
So between Batman Begins and Interstellar it seems like Nolan’s realistic approach to both movies is what people love the most!
@@LiteWeightReacting 100% i would agree with that. Its very refreshing to see someone approach their films in such a way. Especially in a world where everything has to be bigger, and flashy and always trying to out due what has come before. The next film is something else though, so get ready lol
8:10 What's very sad is that just a few short years after Batman Begins, Liam Neeson actually went through that pain for real. He was vacationing with his wife in Canada, taking some skiing lessons at Mont Tremblant Resort, when she fell and hit her head. She was wearing a helmet, but it was a very nasty fall. She at first refused medical help, then started to develop a migraine within 2 hours of the fall. She fell unconscious, was flown to a specialist head trauma unit in New York, where she died two days later from an epidural hematoma.
Good one, LW! These are my favorite Batman movies. So good. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
seeing your reaction to this movie was amazing ahhahaa i loved watching this as a kid
Thanks Brandon! I had so much fun reacting to this!
15:05 When Fox asks Bruce what his interest in the body armour is, TH-cam's auto-captions have his reply down as "I want to borrow it... for spanking." 🤣
I just discovered your channel, but I think I am already a fan! I appreciate how you enjoyed the music! Christopher Nolan movies are seemingly almost always have the score composed by Hans Zimmer (they worked together on Interstellar and Inception as well). His signature style is using minimal different rhythms, but repeating similar themes throughout and just adding layers over time and makes it sound so epic! He is a master at getting the music to fit the movie perfectly and it really adds to the movie experience! Enjoyed your reaction, subscribed, will look forward to your other reactions!
Thanks for the sub! Zimmer and Nolan are magic together! Can’t wait to keep exploring their work!
I love this movie (way more than the rest of the trilogy, although I like those too) and I LOVE the soundtrack. I think it's pretty great how that main 'crescendo' theme basically takes the old dinner-ninner-ninner-BATMAN theme and turns it into this gothic epic da-na-na-na-na-na-BRAAAAP-BRAAAAAAAP motif instead. It's like the legacy is in there but it's subtle enough that it doesn't come out sounding camp. Probably my favourite thing about the whole movie.
One day you find yourself wishing the person you loved the most never existed... So you'll be spared your pain...
That line broke me..!!
A very underrated Nolan film is "Memento", i think you'd love it
I’ll be watching this after TDKR!
Of his movies, Inception, Interstellar and Memento get requested the most on reaction channels. It's not underrated. Underrated would be The Prestige or Insomnia.
Awesome reaction Mrs. Lite! I remember not hearing much about this movie when it dropped so a couple of years later I decided to get the DVD, no expectations and when I say it gave me a whole new appreciation for Batman and film making in general. Christopher Nolan is a genius cause didn't think he could top this one. Hence if it wasn't for BRAVEHEART the Dark Knight would be my absolute favorite movie of all time.
Oh I hear Braveheart is another great movie to react to! I haven’t seen that!
39:13 It was fun to hear you constantly alluding to the Arkham games as my oldest friend in the world (50+ yrs) is the voice of the Scarecrow.
The sound of the Batmobile/tumbler in the theatres was INCREDIBLE. Nolan gets some flack for his choices on sound mixing/design on occasion, but in this case he absolutely killed it.
Was probably so awesome!
This is actually my favourite Batman film, Liteweight.
I remember seeing it in the cinema in 2005 and being absolutely blown away by how it functioned as a serious film with serious actors, mature character motivations, and for the first time seeing a story being fascinated by Bruce Wayne himself. It occupies the perfect space for where I want Batman to live which is logically going through real world justifications for its most fantastical elements (the Batmobile is a tank, the villain remains immortal by continually passing the baton to different lieutenants, etc. etc.) while still living within the horror genre. Other entries are more beloved by critics and fans but they do tend to lose that supernaturally-tinged edge that was perfected in this movie and the wonderful Arkham games.
It also warms my heart to see Cillian Murphy finally get full recognition from both the Academy and as a Christopher Nolan mainstay with his titular role in _Oppenheimer_ . But I also recommend these other Nolan films that more people should react to :
- _Insomnia_ (2002) with Al Pacino and Robin Williams
- _The Prestige_ (2006) with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman
Thanks for the recommendations! I will be reacting to the prestige as part of my Christopher Nolan binge
The League of Shadows and League of Assassins both exist and are affiliated, mostly by Ra's being in charge of both. Different storylines have Ra's handing over (or losing) control of one or the other to various people like Shiva or whomever. The Shadows is more of a cult where the assassins are straight up assassins for hire.
Oh, thanks for clearing that up! I was definitely a bit confused!
