This will always be my favourite batman i just cant get used to bale as batman and hate the new batmobile also it is too long in my opinion and drags in places.This one has everything i want in a batman film runs at a good pace with plenty of action around every corner but saying that its a real shame i dont like dark knight as the joker is amazing.The picture quality should be good as the special edition dvd was a huge improvement on the original dvd.Ive changed the photo to get it in focus properly for you so i hope you like it.Merry Christmas blu-ray fans

Eh I want just the first two films. They are the only ones relevant to me.

LOL you cant get used to Bale as Batman? I cant get used to Keaton as Batman. He is just so short and non threatening. And don't get me started on Nicholson's Joker, its like a kids movie villian and after seeing Ledger's Joker I can never go back to this cheesy version. And I love Nicholson as an actor, just think his Joker was terrible and seeing the character done so well just makes this original performance worse.

The new Batmobile is supposed to fit in with the whole "realistic" Batman type of movie. And the Batmoblie in your movie isnt practical at all. He needs to be able to get past all the cops and other people chasing him and whatnot.

And as far as plenty of action goes, Begins and Knight both have plenty but if the fact that they stop the action once in a while for some compelling plot bothers you then I dont know what your problem is.

It will always be my fav as well, it's got a high replay value for me compared to the new ones. Don't take that the wrong way either, the new ones are great, I just love the 89 one and could watch it all the time.

hahaha. are you trying to tell me that you believe a giant tank like batmobile that flies across rooftops is more realistic than the one in the 89 version?

hahaha, you've gotta be kidding me.

Actually it is. The Burton Batmobile was too long to actually do the maneuvers Batman would need to do. They had to use grappling hooks just so the damn thing could turn at a decent speed. The Tumbler can actually do that without grappling hooks. It can go 100 mph. They built the thing with practicality in mind. The only unrealistic thing is flying on rooftops.

I thought the Tumbler in Begins/TDK was intended to be an early version of the Batmobile. It's still early in Batman's career. Since the Tumbler was critically damaged in TDK, maybe the next model he comes up with will be sleeker.

[STARSCREAM]

To each his own, but Batman Begins and Dark Knight to me are THE Batman movies.

flying on rooftops, being able to plow through concrete medians on highways without explosives in batman begins, being able to transform into a bat motorcycle or whatever in dark knight by using the front two wheels somehow....

the new tumbler is definitely "cool," i'll certainly agree with that. but in terms of how realistic the capabilities and actions of the tumbler are in comparison to '89 batmobile, the '89 takes the cake.

yeah, the '89 was quite long and i'm sure was hard to maneuver on its own. but at least they realized that and showed the use of grappling hooks to make sharp corners and such. if you or anyone else here is able to put the scene in slow motion when the tumbler becomes the batcycle or whatever, and explain to me how THAT is done in a realistic manner, i'm all ears.

i do, however, agree with the comment about modernization and the evolution of technology and its capabilities in relation to the timeline the movies were shot in. in '89, im sure the batmobile seemed a bit far fetched for that generation. but to me, i think the tumbler is even more far fetched for this generation.

i should have been more specific, im talking primarily about the "burtonmobile" from batman and batman returns. i could barely sit through any other god awful reincarnation made after those two (besides begins and dark knoght of course).

You need to watch the Batman Begins special features. A vast majority of the stunts with it in that film were real, INCLUDING the part where it goes through the concrete median without explosives. The Batpod transformation in TDK was completely unrealistic, but pretty cool nonetheless. No less realistic than the "shields" that are on the Batmobile in B89 or how it transforms into a speeding bullet in Batman Returns (forgot about that one, didn't you?).

First of all, lets agree that any Batmobile is not going to be realistic period.

Secondly, yes I do think the tank is more practical.

The first one in the 89 movie is basically a sports car, I do not see that thing getting past police blockades or really anything. That car is so low to teh ground i dont even see it getting past a speed bump.

The tank was built as a "bridging vehicle" and while neither batmobile is going to be practical in the sense of what we think a car is, I at least believe the tank could do what Batman needs it to do. Did you watch Batman Begins? Did you see everything he had to drive through? Lets even forget the rooftops for a sec (and keep in mind your batmobile literally drove vertically up a rooftop in batman forever), the 89 batmobile would not have been able to get past any of that.

Neither vehicle is realistic to begin with, but at least the tank makes sense that the cops cant stop the tank. Neither is realistic, the tank leans more to the realistic side though.

The 89 Batmobile is the best. It looks like the batmobile should look and that is all that matters for a movie.

I don't mind the tumbler style but definitely not much of a batmobile... does great movie scenes though.

What does that mean? "looks like the batmobile should look?"

Thats just the image you have from what was probably your first intro to Batman (the animated series or the 89 movie). There have been various versions in the comics, your just used to this one because it was the one that became mainstream. In either case, if your trying to remake a franchise and trying to make it more realistic (which is the primary reason I like the Nolan films), the 89 version has to go.

I like the way you think.

So true, I mean if they just kept the original version (the 60s one), can you imagine that?

Or better yet, can you imagine the 89 batmobile in Batman Begins? Rewatch the chase scenes and tell me you wouldnt laugh if that clumsy model wasbeing used instead.

Sorry too everyone but Batman is not Christian Bale or Michael Keaton, neither Val Killmer or George Clooney. The real Batman will always be :

Adam West
