"Begins" gets my vote as it's simply my favorite live-action Batman film! It focuses wisely on the (really well-played) title character of Bruce Wayne, himself, and it's tone/visuals nail the look and feel of a Batman story, without going the full-on gothic route. Also, its 3 villains are superb!
Better aesthetic by far, snowy mountains and later warm brown colours. Music is much better with the full on James Newton Howard Tracks. Fight scenes with batman are better, they mimic something vicious with fast cuts. Batman voice and suit is better too. Prefer Bruce's development much more as well
Generally not a big fan of this mantle multiplying (except for GL kinda) I just tolerate it at this point, like really I feel it detracts from the significance of a character holding the mantle and I imagine it's somewhat confusing for the inuniverse characters who don't know their real identities.
I think he has a perfect costume to take on the "Scarlet Spider" moniker, and it would be an interesting change. It does kind of feel like Scarlet Spider is more of the unofficial "Robin" or "Nightwing" to Spider-Man.
I'm not against the idea of Miles having his own identity it's just that every time they've attempted to call him different, Spin or Spidey, it comes off as derivative or lazy. When you look at a character like Ben Riley, Spiderman was a stepping stone for his arc, not the other way around.
While I absolutely detest the idea of multiple Spider-Men swinging around simultaneously, I feel Miles has earned the mantle (even in a meta way) and renaming him, now, comes off as a demotion. Honestly, he should've just been left to be the one, and only Spider-Man of the Ultimate universe. (😉)

ReplyJust watch Cap's videos on Begins. Also, The Dark Knight's ending has aged really poorly for me.
