The Rebooting of Batman was a Sh*t Show

This was a really great video. Well put together and perfect editing! Makes me want to have a Batman movie marathon.

This proves that Batman's greatest villain has and always been Warner Brothers.

The interview clips with Joel Schumacher really help me gain a new respect for him. He OWNS everything, apologizes, takes responsibility, and realizes his mistakes. That's a class act.

Having grown up with “Batman Begins” I cant imagine experiencing the shift from the 90’s Batman movies to the Nolan series.

I like how Chris Nolan proved that darkness doesn’t come from violence, Batman doesn’t need to be an R rated violent bloodbath. I respect Nolan for that a lot.

Joel Schumacher seems like a shockingly genuine guy. The fact that he said that he can’t fingerpoint or blame anyone else for losing control of his project to money grabbers because he was a full grown adult with agency and should have been better is like…crazy big of him, especially because it would be anyone’s first instinct to be extremely defensive with how much hate he gets. And then apologizing for any fans of Batman Forever and saying he didn’t intend to let them down is also pretty big of him. I’ve never actually heard him speak on it, only ever hearing people criticize him and his work. I was definitely expecting a way bigger douche from hearing all that, so it was nice to see how genuine he was in that interview. He may be a miserable asshole outside of those clips, I dunno, can’t judge someone from a clip that short. But it was surprising and stood out to me how humble he seemed there.

Clint Eastwood as an old Bruce Wayne in a Cyberpunk, Rated R, Batman Beyond movie written by Paul Dini and directed by Yakim actually sounds fucking sick.

To be honest, my fav part in begins was the equipment explanations and introductions, especially with Morgan freeman

Nolan's Batman Trilogy is an all time classic and game changer in the superhero genre.

Bruce Timm's animated series is the perfect adaptation, the evidence of this is the fact that Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill have continued to be cast in their iconic roles as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Joker for decades afterwards

God, Nick Cage as Scarecrow would've been a sight to see. Jim Carrey and Nic Cage both being Batman villains in the same universe.

“Created in 1939 by Bill Finger, and only named by a complete fraud” Instant respect

I think it's important to mention two films that made Batman Begins even possible. Unbreakable showed that a superhero origin story could be a serious film drama. X-men from 2002 showed that comic movies could still do well at the box office.

You have to feel for Joel Shumacher. He did as he was told by Warner Bros and made films that will market to kids and sell merch. But he never seemed to get the respect back from fans until around the time of his death it seems, because other than the Batman films, he was a great director. Falling Down is one of my all-time favourites.

A core memory of mine was my dad coming home from work early so he could take me to see Batman Begins in the theaters. I was 12/13 at the time and my family had a hardcore "no TV on school nights" policy so it was a big deal for him to do this, but he knew how hyped I was for it to come out. At the scene where Bruce is on the plane with Alfred he leans over to me and goes "I am really digging this movie". To this day it's one of my favorite memories of going to the movies. Years later he and I went to see Justice League and I noticed a father and son (son looked about 12/13) in line as well and the son was wearing a superman t-shirt, I couldn't help but think they were about to create a similar memory for themselves.

"the darkness would come from conflict not violence" is a great quote!

14:54 "Warner countered with Freddie Prince Jr.!" ... "Aaronofsky quickly realized he and the studio would never see eye to eye" LMAO 😂😂

To be honest.. for me, Batman is the James Bond of the DC World. 1. He’s got the gadgets 2. He has a famous high tech car 3. He’s a playboy, he dated a lot of women.. Talia, Lois, Black Canary, Wonder Woman and Catwoman etc. 4. Master of Mixed Martial Arts 5. Numerous of Actors played Batman just like James Bond

Very good video. As one of the co-writers of the unfortunately named “Batman DarKnight”, I appreciate you including it in the history. A few details were not quite accurate, but it got the gist of what happened. I’ll be following your channel.

I love Batman Begins, I remember seeing it in theaters and loving the way Gordon and Batman worked together in the climax
