Batman Begins

[Mantis421]

it was better than the first and better than the best batmovie (mask of the phantasm) everyone always talks about the look and feel of the first, which might matter if that wasnt tim burtons actual visual style, if he shot like that for that movie it would be different, but that is just how he is so its style isnt that unique to the film. now chris nolan is a genuis, and has gotten everything right from the mood to the style, to the feel of what batman should be, something to be feared, and best of all not that much cgi, he hates it so it make a more realistic feel

You make it sound like if someone else would of done the first batman movie in the style it was done it would of been genius but because it is Tim Burton its blah. Burtons dark touch he gives films is why he was the perfect director for the Batman movie. Calling Nolan a genius after this is really only his fourth film he has been involved with might be overstating the person. Granted Memento was pretty good but his other two films Insomnia and Following were nothing all that special. Burton's films we know what they are going to be like and they still have that dark effect that is unique to him alone as a director. its like tring to compare apples and oranges
