"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
Loved it but it wasn’t a set-up more than a coda where Trinity and Neo get what they deserve as a parallel to Lana’s life. A creator with a new outlook reflecting on material and a legacy made when they were almost literally a different person. Lana‘s now free to change The Matrix, as in the movie.
Honestly, The Matrix should’ve just been one movie, only cuz it was only one movie that worked, and that’s the first one. It was lightning in a bottle that caught waves and can’t be replicated by the multiple sequels. Plus Keanu’s doing so much better in his newer movies, especially in John Wick.
Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.
The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.
I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.
Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.

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