Current Events > Watching Batman Begins for the first time in a decade

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive only seen it a few times to begin with

why the hell didnt he call the bat swarm in the other two movies

He stopped being a symbol as he began to see how more and more super villains were popping up as a result of his actions. By the end of the sequels, his friends are practically running into the room after him with a gun in hand like, "Move away, Bruce! I'm just gonna fucking cap this guy! I mean it! Enough of this shit!"

Its still such a good movie. I like The Dark Knight more, but I do feel like that movie way overshadows Begins.

Every time I watch Begins it always amazes me how really freaking good it is.

Yeah Ive really enjoyed it so far

its kind of weird though in that it feels like the style isnt the same as the the sequels

That's mostly on account of DKR not augmenting the Bat-suit enough to differentiate

The bat swarm was a diversion to help him escape the police when trapped in a building. It was a pretty specific situation.

He really had no need for that in Dark Knight - he was mostly on the offensive, trying to hunt down Joker. In Dark Knight Rises, his only time where he needed to escape a force was outdoors, so it wouldnt have worked.

I just watched it randomly today for the first time in a long time, and while Dark Knight is my favorite comic book movie of all time, Batman Begins honestly isnt that far behind. Its really close. And it gets forgotten a bit due to just how great Dark Knight was. The silver medalist doesnt get the same glory as the gold.
