I can't watch this one because I'm reacting it to it later, Kaiielle, but I had to stop by, say welcome back - your reactions are fire, hope your pup is going ok, I'm dropping a 'like' on your video and LOVE YOUR HAIR !
Slightly unpopular opinion: this is my favorite movie of the trilogy. TDK might be a better film, but I love the world building and the tone of this one. Such a welcome change after Schumacher's Batman and Robin...
recognizing one film as the technically superior film than your FAVORITE film is OK. I think the first 2 godfather films are the greatest films ever made, but they ain’t my favorite films
Fun fact: Christian Bale was chosen by Nolan for the role after he saw his work on American Psycho. Nolan liked how Bale portrayed two sides to the same coin- the respectable, upper class businessman and the violent, raging beast
@@Nysyarc And every Batman fight scene cant be still, waist up so he can stand on a box, or a shoot out where the guy who is really 7 inches taller does not look taller than him, so he stands in the background.
I really like that they started with the Scarecrow as the villain and not the Joker, because he is also a big comic villain and his fear toxin is nothing to sneer at. Also, that Batman voice is the best in this film, at least in my opinion.
Love your reactions. You let the film breathe and don't feel the need to talk every 4 seconds. Actually feel more like we're watching the film with you. Good luck Kaiielle.
One of my favorite things about this movie was during the fight scene at the docks. I love that it was shot from the perspective of the criminals & is shot like a horror movie.
Without spoiling the later films I do think Batman Begins is still my favourite of the Nolan trilogy even though I prefer the plot and characters of The Dark Knight, Begins as a film just has such an unique tone and atmosphere. Also like this take on Gotham City captures the feel of Gotham even if I would've preferred more Art Deco and Gothic Revival Architecture I did love the Art Deco style train system that was connected to Wayne Tower along with the Narrows which was heavily based on Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong adding a very dystonia feel to the city. With Gotham the TV being you're only insight on the world of Batman it's not a bad start at all as the show from a visual standpoint has a really solid rendition of Gotham City even featuring a very timeless aesthetic of old and new tech where people still use typewriters but also cell phones. This is true within the comic's as well but because Nolan wanted to go for a more grounded modern look and feel these aspects aren't apart of this universe. Like you mentioned Gotham is it's own thing with zero connection to the Nolanverse. This is the same for the Tim Burton movies and the DCEU all existing as differant universes with there own take on the characters. Think of it like how there's three different Spider-Men with Sam Rami, Marc Webb, and the MCU all existing in their own universes. The only thing I don't really like about the film is the super funny Batman Bale voice. I know why he does it to hide his voice but it just sounds super silly and at times just took me out of the moment but within Begins I do think it's his best version of the voice. Still wish they went for a augmented voice or something along those lines. Some people love it and some people hate it just one of those things. I'm also biased as hell as Kevin Conroy of the Batman Animated Series and Arkham games is just the voice of Batman for me having the perfect Voice of Batman and voice Wayne. Most of the characters featured in this film are from the comic's excluding Rachel Dawes who was created for this film. Scarecrow is a really cool character first appearing in World's Finest Comics #3 (Autumn 1941) two years after Batman introduction. I really like this rendition of the character massive Cillian Murphy fan but I just like how his calmness adds to the creeper factor. The character of Ra's al Ghul first appeared in Batman #232 (June 1971) a really cool character but like I've mentioned in this film Nolan made him alot more grounded to suit his more grounded universe. In the comic's he's a little.... Different lol Carmine Falcone is a really cool character first showing up in Batman #405 (1987). The character plays a big part in The Long Halloween by Frank Miller and usually only appears in early Batman comic stories set in around Year one to Year Two of Bruce becoming Batman. For example The Long Halloween is set on Bruce's second year as the caped Crusader while in Begins we get to see Bruce become Batman for the first time depicting his early years similar to that of the comic. He's a classic Mafia style character meant to showcase the transition from Crime Families to Super Villians a new era of crime. Joe Chill was first introduced in Detective Comics #33 November 1939 but wasn't named until Batman #47 in June-July of 1948. Just like the movie Joe Chill was a small-time criminal who ended up gunning down Martha Kane and Thomas Wayne in Crime Alley. Lucius Fox first showed up in Batman #307 (January 1979) and is pretty much Bruce Wayne's business manager who of course also supports the Batman. He also creates the high-tech tools and vehicles for Batman which of course is showcased in this film. Captain/Commissioner Gordon was introduced in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939) as the first ever Batman supporting character. Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon in Nolan's films is very close to his comic counterpart in both his relation with Batman but also his appearance. Victor Zsasz made his appearance in Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1 (June 1992) a sadomasochistic and psychopathic serial killer who. He's an interesting character but he was very much a small role in this film just showing up as a random bold prisoner. Barbara Gordon was introduced in World's Finest #53 (1951) and is the wife of Commissioner Gordon sharing the name with her Daughter Barbara Gordon who is an important character in the comics, games, and animation shows. These are some of the few key characters featured in this film but there's a couple of other side characters many created for the film and others who are small side characters in the comics. Overall a really great film which set the stage for two sequels which you'll no doubt really enjoy. Mask of the Phantasm is still my favourite Batman film but Begins is pretty close.
Something I love about Nolans films is how you pick up on more details upon later rewatches, such as in Inception or Interstellar. One of my favourite details I noticed upon my rewatch of Batman Begins is that the blue flower Bruce takes with him at the start is the same used by Scarecrow to create his fear inducing drug. It explains why Bruce began having multiple flashbacks throughout the film, as the hallucinogenic effects of the flower he was carrying brought out his fears until he discarded it. It's great because of the extra layer of realism it adds to the film.
Although I am a Marvel fan, I love the Christian Bale Batman trilogy. Truly enjoy getting to watch with you! (Another movie Christian Bale is in that I recommend is "Public Enemies", about bringing John Dillinger to justice. Different genra I know, but still a very good movie. Co-staring Johnny Depp.)
Bruce: "I'm no executioner" Also Bruce: *blows up the ninja hideout, killing multiple LOS members and the man they wanted him to kill in the first place*
That really isn't an executioner at work though. His fight for justice had begun, and the deaths were collateral damage that became necessary if he was to escape alive.
@@MoMoMyPup10 The issue I have is that (without spoiling anything) the whole 'indirect killing/collateral damage' over the whole trilogy kind of defeats the purpose of Batman's 'no kill' rule. They try to get around it by making it so that Batman isn't like, directly blowing someone up. But it became more uncomfortable to me on later rewatches that Nolan's Batman was compromising his own code regardless.
@@stynershiner1854 There is such a thing as internal logic. Saying that 'suspend your disbelief, it's just a movie' is kind of a lazy way of deflecting criticism.
@@ravissary79 Kind of feel the same. Nolan's Batman is supposed to have a code but constantly breaks it, and it's never properly addressed in the movies. Snyder's Batman doesn't have any code at all , which is what the movie addresses.
So happy you liked this movie so much!! If you enjoyed it, then the next part will blow you away. The hype when DARK KNIGHT came out in the theatre was unreal and it actually lived up to the hype. The thing I like about this trilogy is that they tried to make it seem like it was a real person who becomes a superhero, instead of a person with super powers, so it feels more 'real' , and I really like that. NOLAN is just a fantastic director and you are correct when you say that the music is great too! Thanks for the movie review. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
When I went to see the Dark Knight in IMAX the theater I was at was playing it on about 8 different screens. There were so many people in the lobby lined up waiting to see it and a girl about 15 year old was so excited she passed out. Never seen that before.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I liked BB most of the trilogy. DK was a great movie but Scarecrow was kept similar to the (admittedly limited) experience I had previously with the character, but much more pronounced. Joker was very different from the many previous incarnations, so while Ledger did an amazing performance of an interesting character it didn't seem connected to the Joker I knew. Combined with all the hype that DK got, it just left me disappointed. And DKR I didn't care for much at all.
I've grown to be a bit more critical of the Nolan trilogy as the years have rolled by but it's still a VERY solid trilogy with tons of memorable moments and performances. Christian Bale is one of the best Batmen to come to the big screen over the years and the rest of the cast are just great.
Hope you'll check out Batman Mask of the Phantasm. It's an animated movie that actually came out in theaters based off Batman the Animated Series. It's such a good Batman movie.
This whole trilogy is fantastic and I cannot wait for you to see the dark knight. It’s in my top three of all time no question. As a philosophy major in college, I wrote a few papers on it, as well as having watched it over a hundred times, no joke. It’s soooooooo deep and yay!!! Can’t wait!! ☺️
I sometimes feel guilty for thinking The Dark Knight and this movie and the lasst one really (the whole dissection of "fear") as deep, because so many people take jabs at them and im just not well versed into cinema that much to have confidence in my thoughts about movies. So you being a philosophy major and writing papers on the movie is awesome!
One aspect in which they tried to ground the film in realism was by removing the more mystical powers of Ra's Al Ghul In the comics, Ra's was immortal due to the use of a mystical 'Lazarus Pit' which meant he had lived for hundreds of years. In this film, the immortality aspect is instead recontextualized as him having body doubles and the League of Shadows itself being an organisation that has lasted for hundreds of years
The movie's way of addressing his immortality works perfectly with the concept that Bruce Wayne internalizes and puts into practice, becoming a symbol that transcends who he is as an individual.
Came here IMMEDIATELY after Rise of Skywalker! Love the hair BTW! Awesome reaction! Excited for Dark Knight! Hope you do the classics cause 89 Batman is my favorite!
@@kaiielle I'm glad you won't stop it! It made me smile with each introduction! And of course! Your hair does look good! The bangs and the color look good!
This was a blast to watch! I hadn't noticed the line repetition before, that was a really cool detail. I think my favorite part was your reaction to the Batmobile flying past the officer asking if he was alone. I smiled at exactly the same time lmao. That was so epic. Can't wait for your reactions to the next two!
Yay Kaielle. This is a really good movie. And the next one, is the single greatest 'superhero' movie of all time... p.s. Love that you do a 'thoughts and review' post section.
Fun fact: Christian Bale was coming off of filming The Machinist where he only weighed 120 pounds for his role. He was told to get as big as he could to play Batman. He showed up 6 weeks later having gained 100 pounds of bulk and muscle and had to slim down to 190 for shooting. Not the only time Bale would do this to himself.
I am pretty sure I talk about this either in the review part of this video reaction, or one of the other Dark Knight ones, I can't remember which. Bale has put himself through so much!
welcome to the Dark Knight trilogy! I do hope after you finish these three you go and watch the Adam West Batman film from 1966 - it’s full of fun and campiness.
Really enjoyed your reaction. I actually appreciate that most of your reaction is you just reacting with your body language rather than talking a bunch. I know most reactors do that to avoid copyright stuff but they also miss a lot of the important dialogue of the movie and by the end, some completely miss the point of what the story was trying to tell. So I really do like that you were really engaged in the movie and saved your thoughts and feelings at the end. While I definitely love the Dark Knight more than this movie, I still think this movie is really great. I think Christian Bale did a great job at really capturing the playboy persona of Bruce Wayne as well as doing a pretty good Batman. However my favorite Batman will always be Kevin Conroy's Batman from the Animated Series. Besides the comics, the animated series truly captures who Batman really is. I really hope you consider watching some of the animated DC movies too. Most of them are standalone movies that aren't interconnected but they are top tier amazing. Batman Under the Red Hood, The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and 2, Mask of the Phantasm and Justice League Doom are just a few of my favorites. Again really loved your reaction and I can't wait to see your reaction to the Dark Knight. I think you'll really enjoy it!
Glad you enjoyed the edit! Feel free to check out the watchalong to this on Patreon if you're interested in seeing what my reactions to your favourite lines were, as I was unable to consult you specifically almost 2 years ago when I was editing this.
Hi Kaiielle! I just discovered your channel and already watched your Revenge of the Sith and Batman Begins reactions. You have very quickly become my co-favorite TH-cam reacts channel (along with "popcorn in bed")! I really like how you differentiate yourself with your raw emotions and tears, by making your TH-cam reactions long (a good thing, you don't cut much of the movie out), and with your detailed analysis at the end. A request, if possible: if you haven't already seen them, could your next reactions after the Batman trilogy PLEASE be the Lord of the Rings? ☺️ Great stuff!!
Hi Dila, thank you so much for that comment! I really appreciate it. I have already seen all of the LotR movies (extended) plus The Hobbit films. Make sure to check out my Letterbox'd account for a full list of already seen films. letterboxd.com/kaiielle
Really looking forward to this one. Regarding your reaction style, I've always preferred the quiet type. It's not that I mind the chattier folk but it drives me crazy sometimes when reactors miss crucial information because they were yapping away or, even worse, looking at the camera while they talk. Maybe I'm just too easily irritated... ✌
I know what you mean. I have watched reaction videos where people have completely misunderstood important plot points due to having talked over crucial dialogue.
I thought I replied to this but I guess I didn't! Thanks for saying this. Often a worry lingers around that I don't talk enough and that my reactions end up being boring. As IEMLYFB commented, it is really hard to strike a balance sometimes. Ultimately at the end of the day, there are people who will prefer chatty reactors and others who will prefer quieter ones. The great thing about TH-cam is there is a space for all of us.
I know people tell you to watch things all the time but if you want to see another Bale performance where he changed his body a lot check out the Fighter. He won an Oscar for best supporting actor.
The big misdirection in Batman Begins was who was the main villain? Carmine Falcone? Just the old school mob boss The Scarecrow? A pawn for the actual main villain Earle? The Red Herring villain
8:48 ive seen this movie like 50 times, and it took a woman to point that out - i feel proud of myself for not being as big a perv as all the rumours say lmao
There is a many Batman movies or series of movies, TV shows, animated stuff (the 90's animated TV series is still one of the best Batman stuff out there) And they all are different and not related .. Just different takes on the same hero .. The Tim Barton movies, The Nolan trilogy, the new one with the Justice Ligue .. The very last one from this year is stand alone too..
@@kaiielle Yeah, Batman is kind of like James Bond in that the wealth of source material allows for so many different stories to be told with various directors and actors. Much in the same way that Bond had been retold in multiple iterations from Connery to Craig, Batman has too from Keaton to Pattinson
So Ive recently started watching 'Reactions To....' I ove the MCU too so Im going to smash through thi reaction to MCU and see what you are thinking about the current and future releases
Hi Yuta! The subtitles on my TH-cam videos directly (not hte movie) are the automatically translated ones, and as a result there are a handful of errors here and there. Unfortunately, I don't have the time currently to go in and correct any mistakes, but I hope to be able to afford to outsource this some day so that my subtitles are 100% correct and accurate. I'm glad you appreciate them!
I've seen the trailers too many times to react to, but all 6 episodes will be reacted to and put here on TH-cam. BBF and Mandalorian will be watched a bit later this year on my Patreon. Making my way through The Clone Wars now. 😊
@@kaiielle well worth it , easily one of the best television shows in recent years the final season just finished but a movie is in production. Its a period gangster story 1919 to 1933 . His haircut in the dark knight is because of the tv show. Its a bit like a British version of the godfather. And he is the al Pacino type character. Its British TV so each season is only 6 episodes. The writing is amazing. Its very cinematic.
I have noticed that in the beginning when the prisoner started hitting Bruce for no reason, that Bruce was the only white dude there that was a prisoner. Maybe the other prisoners were just being racist and picking on him because of that? I mean I don’t see any other ethnicity besides Asian people there unless I missed something, which would make my theory totally wrong haha 😂 Also Ken Wantanabe’s “Ra’s al Ghul,” doesn’t speak an actual language. He just saying random jibberish. 🤣 If you’ve seen Vikings, then the actor playing Thomas Wayne might look familiar because he also plays King Ecbert
Ben Affleck is my favorite Batman but Christian is a absolutely epic Batman. In the comics Thomas Wayne Bruce's father was Batman as well but in the multiverse during Flashpoint the comic. Bruce Wayne is very realistic and Battle hardened in this but he's more of a year one Batman. His enemies are a symbol of Bruce's visions and they match his alter ego. The only reason I like Ben Affleck better is because he is far more experienced and is tired of having rules. But here they got Batman's morals and ideals right and he has always been the guardian of Gotham.
He was an interesting take on Batman inspired by The Dark Knight Returns but besides his Outfit which is amazing and miles better than the Nolan's Batman I'm personality not a big fan of Ben Affleck at all in what we've seen of his Batman. A sole Batfleck movie could change my mind as he hasn't even gotten the chance to shine but the DCEU at the moment is a mess and I'm far more interested in Robert Pattinson's Batman and that whole universe. The DCEU is like the opposite of the MCU for me. I love the MCU but have zero interest in Sony's universe while with DC I'm far more invested in these Elseworld stories like Joker and The Batman than the mainline DCEU.
I'm horrendously picky with my preferred version of Batman as I feel that none of the live action portrayals have reflected the version I like. For me, Bale was the best Bruce Wayne but an okay Batman, Pattinson was the best Batman but an okay Bruce Wayne. Ben Affleck basically of nails both sides but he's a much more cynical depiction of the character than most people are used to. I still think Kevin Conroy in the animated work and the Arkham games is the best
The Batman animated movies are good too Batman Mask of the Phantasm Batman and Mr Freeze Sub Zero Batman Under the Red Hood Batman Superman Public Enemies Batman Superman Apocalypse Batman Assault on Arkham which is a Suicide Squad movie featuring Batman Suicide Squad Hell to Pay is a great DC movie Green Lantern First Flight Justice League Dark Justice League Crisis on Two Earths Justice League Doom.
After you finish the Batman trilogy, you shud check out American Psycho. You'll never look at Christian Bale the same again after watching him in that. American Psycho is his best performance, imo, anyways.
Idk wat letterboxed is but I'll try and look it up after I get my new business cards made and grab the Huey Lewis and the News album. 😂 Actually I'll have to do my exfoliating face peel first and my sit ups. I can do 500 now!!!!🤣😂🤦
@@onemoreminute0543 I gotta make a reservation at Dorcia first. 🤣😂 The look on his face wen he drops the card is fukin classic!!! Lol. But I gotta go return some videotapes, so.......

Same though. This one just felt like such a good comic origin story adaptation.
TDK for as acclaimed as it is has a large number of plotholes. Batman Begins is an almost perfectly constructed film.
Fun fact: Christian Bale was chosen by Nolan for the role after he saw his work on American Psycho. Nolan liked how Bale portrayed two sides to the same coin- the respectable, upper class businessman and the violent, raging beast
He was so good in that movie.
He should have casted Tom Cruise
@@Tenchi707 Tom Cruise isn't tall enough to be Batman.

"This actor looks familiar but I can't place it"
That's Ken Watanabe, who was Saito in Inception. Great actor.
Yeah, googled that when the movie was done! Knew I recognized the voice.

This whole trilogy is fantastic and I cannot wait for you to see the dark knight. It’s in my top three of all time no question. As a philosophy major in college, I wrote a few papers on it, as well as having watched it over a hundred times, no joke. It’s soooooooo deep and yay!!! Can’t wait!! ☺️
I sometimes feel guilty for thinking The Dark Knight and this movie and the lasst one really (the whole dissection of "fear") as deep, because so many people take jabs at them and im just not well versed into cinema that much to have confidence in my thoughts about movies. So you being a philosophy major and writing papers on the movie is awesome!
One aspect in which they tried to ground the film in realism was by removing the more mystical powers of Ra's Al Ghul
In the comics, Ra's was immortal due to the use of a mystical 'Lazarus Pit' which meant he had lived for hundreds of years.
In this film, the immortality aspect is instead recontextualized as him having body doubles and the League of Shadows itself being an organisation that has lasted for hundreds of years
The movie's way of addressing his immortality works perfectly with the concept that Bruce Wayne internalizes and puts into practice, becoming a symbol that transcends who he is as an individual.
Fun car fact, the car playboy Bruce pulls up in is a Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. “Murciélago” Spanish for bat
Came here IMMEDIATELY after Rise of Skywalker! Love the hair BTW! Awesome reaction! Excited for Dark Knight! Hope you do the classics cause 89 Batman is my favorite!
A great start to an excellent trilogy....
I have a good feeling that you will not be disappointed with the next two films.
What I love about Batman Begins is that it’s the first Batman movie which is ABOUT Batman.
I love that this, from the point of view of the criminals, is basically a horror movie
Firstly, I love your hair! Second, I love your greetings for all the actors when they're introduced lol it's very wholesome!
Thank you! And I didn't realize I did that until recently, but am not gonna stop. 😂 Glad you enjoy that.
@@kaiielle I'm glad you won't stop it! It made me smile with each introduction! And of course! Your hair does look good! The bangs and the color look good!
@@jamesfrady3798 Appreciate that! Felt it was time for a big hair change.
This was a blast to watch! I hadn't noticed the line repetition before, that was a really cool detail. I think my favorite part was your reaction to the Batmobile flying past the officer asking if he was alone. I smiled at exactly the same time lmao. That was so epic. Can't wait for your reactions to the next two!
Thanks BWAH, appreciate you!
Yay Kaielle. This is a really good movie. And the next one, is the single greatest 'superhero' movie of all time... p.s. Love that you do a 'thoughts and review' post section.
The score for this movie enhances all the emotions... especially really soon in the movie.
Fun fact: Christian Bale was coming off of filming The Machinist where he only weighed 120 pounds for his role. He was told to get as big as he could to play Batman. He showed up 6 weeks later having gained 100 pounds of bulk and muscle and had to slim down to 190 for shooting. Not the only time Bale would do this to himself.
I am pretty sure I talk about this either in the review part of this video reaction, or one of the other Dark Knight ones, I can't remember which. Bale has put himself through so much!
You can definitely see the Patrick Bateman in Bale’s Bruce Wayne.
Enjoyed your reaction. I'll stick around for the next one. Cheers 🥂
welcome to the Dark Knight trilogy! I do hope after you finish these three you go and watch the Adam West Batman film from 1966 - it’s full of fun and campiness.
Really enjoyed your reaction. I actually appreciate that most of your reaction is you just reacting with your body language rather than talking a bunch. I know most reactors do that to avoid copyright stuff but they also miss a lot of the important dialogue of the movie and by the end, some completely miss the point of what the story was trying to tell. So I really do like that you were really engaged in the movie and saved your thoughts and feelings at the end.
While I definitely love the Dark Knight more than this movie, I still think this movie is really great. I think Christian Bale did a great job at really capturing the playboy persona of Bruce Wayne as well as doing a pretty good Batman. However my favorite Batman will always be Kevin Conroy's Batman from the Animated Series. Besides the comics, the animated series truly captures who Batman really is. I really hope you consider watching some of the animated DC movies too. Most of them are standalone movies that aren't interconnected but they are top tier amazing. Batman Under the Red Hood, The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and 2, Mask of the Phantasm and Justice League Doom are just a few of my favorites. Again really loved your reaction and I can't wait to see your reaction to the Dark Knight. I think you'll really enjoy it!
Thanks so much!
Edited out some of the best lines, good job!!
Glad you enjoyed the edit! Feel free to check out the watchalong to this on Patreon if you're interested in seeing what my reactions to your favourite lines were, as I was unable to consult you specifically almost 2 years ago when I was editing this.
"I never said thank you"
"And you'll never have to"
Chills every time.
Christopher Nolan's brother Jonathan (Person of Interest) collaborates with him to create the screenplay for one of these 3 movies, I liked that.
Hi Kaiielle! I just discovered your channel and already watched your Revenge of the Sith and Batman Begins reactions. You have very quickly become my co-favorite TH-cam reacts channel (along with "popcorn in bed")! I really like how you differentiate yourself with your raw emotions and tears, by making your TH-cam reactions long (a good thing, you don't cut much of the movie out), and with your detailed analysis at the end. A request, if possible: if you haven't already seen them, could your next reactions after the Batman trilogy PLEASE be the Lord of the Rings? ☺️
Great stuff!!
Hi Dila, thank you so much for that comment! I really appreciate it. I have already seen all of the LotR movies (extended) plus The Hobbit films. Make sure to check out my Letterbox'd account for a full list of already seen films. letterboxd.com/kaiielle
The best Batman forever
Really looking forward to this one. Regarding your reaction style, I've always preferred the quiet type. It's not that I mind the chattier folk but it drives me crazy sometimes when reactors miss crucial information because they were yapping away or, even worse, looking at the camera while they talk. Maybe I'm just too easily irritated... ✌
I know what you mean. I have watched reaction videos where people have completely misunderstood important plot points due to having talked over crucial dialogue.
Agreed. I will say that on the reactors side its hard to strike that fine balance!
I thought I replied to this but I guess I didn't! Thanks for saying this. Often a worry lingers around that I don't talk enough and that my reactions end up being boring. As IEMLYFB commented, it is really hard to strike a balance sometimes. Ultimately at the end of the day, there are people who will prefer chatty reactors and others who will prefer quieter ones. The great thing about TH-cam is there is a space for all of us.
Thanks. Actually climbing a mountain to pick a flower is an ancient warrior tradition. ( for a knight)
In the comics R’As is an immortal who is kept alive by the Lazarus pits.
I know people tell you to watch things all the time but if you want to see another Bale performance where he changed his body a lot check out the Fighter. He won an Oscar for best supporting actor.
Great video!
Great Job KL! Can't wait to see the next one. :)
Thank Slay! 💜
The first "Ra's" is Ken Watanabe. Very famous Japanese actor.
Amazing... every reactor I watch instantly recognizes young Joffrey. Must be the hair.
He has a fairly recognizable face too!
The big misdirection in Batman Begins was who was the main villain?
Carmine Falcone? Just the old school mob boss
The Scarecrow? A pawn for the actual main villain
Earle? The Red Herring villain
The trust me scene had the theater going nuts
8:48
ive seen this movie like 50 times, and it took a woman to point that out - i feel proud of myself for not being as big a perv as all the rumours say
lmao
There is a many Batman movies or series of movies, TV shows, animated stuff (the 90's animated TV series is still one of the best Batman stuff out there) And they all are different and not related .. Just different takes on the same hero .. The Tim Barton movies, The Nolan trilogy, the new one with the Justice Ligue .. The very last one from this year is stand alone too..
Good to know that they're not all connected and just their own takes.
@@kaiielle Yeah, Batman is kind of like James Bond in that the wealth of source material allows for so many different stories to be told with various directors and actors.
Much in the same way that Bond had been retold in multiple iterations from Connery to Craig, Batman has too from Keaton to Pattinson
So Ive recently started watching 'Reactions To....' I ove the MCU too so Im going to smash through thi reaction to MCU and see what you are thinking about the current and future releases
Hello from Japan!
I really love your videos cuz you put up scripts(not automatically translated). really appreciate your hard work!
Hi Yuta! The subtitles on my TH-cam videos directly (not hte movie) are the automatically translated ones, and as a result there are a handful of errors here and there. Unfortunately, I don't have the time currently to go in and correct any mistakes, but I hope to be able to afford to outsource this some day so that my subtitles are 100% correct and accurate. I'm glad you appreciate them!
YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY THANK YOU
Uh... NICE bb-8 mug there!
Talk about a cast, have you done Nolan's The Prestige?
Not yet! Feel free to suggest in the Suggestion Form linked in the pinned comment and description.
@@kaiielle Thanks. Will try to pick ONE for now. Is there a particular genre you gravitate to? Or one you want to see more of?
@@chefskiss6179 You can submit as many suggestions as you like. I really enjoy sci-fi, thrillers, drama's, movies that make you think.
Look forward to it!
Uh - Empire of the sun! Please tell you haven't seen that one!
Gonna submit that one
MY COMPANY, idont think you can fire no one...
"Didn't you get the memo?" Lol
I cannot fucking wait until you get the real good stuff. And I'm not even talking about Nolan's trilogy.
Feel free to throw suggestions into my suggestion form!
Is that the Batfleck I presume you're referring to?
This movie was just as interesting BEFORE he became Batman, as it was AFTER.
You should totally react to the new Obi-wan trailer and watch boba and the mandolorian
I've seen the trailers too many times to react to, but all 6 episodes will be reacted to and put here on TH-cam.
BBF and Mandalorian will be watched a bit later this year on my Patreon. Making my way through The Clone Wars now. 😊
@@kaiielle oh perfect, love the channel btw👍🏻
@@rush3r975 Thanks so much!
If you like cillian Murphy i recommend peaky blinders if you haven't seen it yet he is amazing in it
That's one I'll eventually get around to watching!
@@kaiielle well worth it , easily one of the best television shows in recent years the final season just finished but a movie is in production. Its a period gangster story 1919 to 1933 . His haircut in the dark knight is because of the tv show. Its a bit like a British version of the godfather. And he is the al Pacino type character. Its British TV so each season is only 6 episodes. The writing is amazing. Its very cinematic.
My name is Ducard. I spoke Ra's name. I am too FAMOUS to be a lacky!
I have noticed that in the beginning when the prisoner started hitting Bruce for no reason, that Bruce was the only white dude there that was a prisoner. Maybe the other prisoners were just being racist and picking on him because of that? I mean I don’t see any other ethnicity besides Asian people there unless I missed something, which would make my theory totally wrong haha 😂
Also Ken Wantanabe’s “Ra’s al Ghul,” doesn’t speak an actual language. He just saying random jibberish. 🤣
If you’ve seen Vikings, then the actor playing Thomas Wayne might look familiar because he also plays King Ecbert
I think your going to enjoy part 2 even more! Cheers!✌️❤️❤️
Oh dear.. Kaielle, how DARE you give me ANOTHER bucket list idea? ;)
Oh, and have you *SEEN* Cillian Murphy in /Red Eye/, yet? :)
Ben Affleck is my favorite Batman but Christian is a absolutely epic Batman. In the comics Thomas Wayne Bruce's father was Batman as well but in the multiverse during Flashpoint the comic.
Bruce Wayne is very realistic and Battle hardened in this but he's more of a year one Batman. His enemies are a symbol of Bruce's visions and they match his alter ego. The only reason I like Ben Affleck better is because he is far more experienced and is tired of having rules. But here they got Batman's morals and ideals right and he has always been the guardian of Gotham.
He was an interesting take on Batman inspired by The Dark Knight Returns but besides his Outfit which is amazing and miles better than the Nolan's Batman I'm personality not a big fan of Ben Affleck at all in what we've seen of his Batman. A sole Batfleck movie could change my mind as he hasn't even gotten the chance to shine but the DCEU at the moment is a mess and I'm far more interested in Robert Pattinson's Batman and that whole universe. The DCEU is like the opposite of the MCU for me. I love the MCU but have zero interest in Sony's universe while with DC I'm far more invested in these Elseworld stories like Joker and The Batman than the mainline DCEU.
I'm horrendously picky with my preferred version of Batman as I feel that none of the live action portrayals have reflected the version I like.
For me, Bale was the best Bruce Wayne but an okay Batman, Pattinson was the best Batman but an okay Bruce Wayne. Ben Affleck basically of nails both sides but he's a much more cynical depiction of the character than most people are used to.
I still think Kevin Conroy in the animated work and the Arkham games is the best
The Batman animated movies are good too
Batman Mask of the Phantasm
Batman and Mr Freeze Sub Zero
Batman Under the Red Hood
Batman Superman Public Enemies
Batman Superman Apocalypse
Batman Assault on Arkham which is a Suicide Squad movie featuring Batman
Suicide Squad Hell to Pay is a great DC movie
Green Lantern First Flight
Justice League Dark
Justice League Crisis on Two Earths
Justice League Doom.
This is a good movie
Spoiler: the next one is really good! 😁
🤙
After you finish the Batman trilogy, you shud check out American Psycho. You'll never look at Christian Bale the same again after watching him in that. American Psycho is his best performance, imo, anyways.
Already seen it and enjoyed it. Watched it last year, I think. Will have to re-visit my review on my Letterbox'd account.
Idk wat letterboxed is but I'll try and look it up after I get my new business cards made and grab the Huey Lewis and the News album. 😂 Actually I'll have to do my exfoliating face peel first and my sit ups. I can do 500 now!!!!🤣😂🤦
@@davidwalker3783 Nice comment...
Now let's see Paul Allen's comment
@@onemoreminute0543 I gotta make a reservation at Dorcia first. 🤣😂 The look on his face wen he drops the card is fukin classic!!! Lol. But I gotta go return some videotapes, so.......
