>Implying

Watchmen is better

>>85671074
That's a great way of describing it actually

>>85670936
Because literally every superhero movie ever made has been complete dogshit apart from the Dark Knight Trilogy and Watchmen.

Nolan was at his peak

>>85670936

I'm tired of movies always needing zingers or witty one liners. The fact they had to recut Suicide Squad is pretty depressing. It's like they think the audience will get bored if there isn't a funny joke every 30 seconds

>>85671636
Exactly, I love superheroes but wtf I end up rolling my eyes half the time. Not even because it isn't my sense of humor or some fedora shit. Just non stop jokes.

rewatched it today, pure kino

>>85671053
Oh fuck off you tumor

because health ledger died, and he was the only good actor in any superhero movie

The Winter Soldier came close but it's missing a great score.

It was in a constant state of escalation from things going from bad to worse and the only flaw I can find is the casting choice and dialogue for rachel

>>85671053
Until the Doomsday garbage I'd agree.

Because everything is now done to a formula. Nolan wasn't trying to make a super hero movie.

>>85670936
There were no big guys back then

>>85671636
I'm gonna sound like a grouch, but I've started to feel the same towards comic relief in movies as I do towards forced romantic subplots. It's like no one dares being serious throughout, and just have to make quips and jokes so no one catches them being earnest. Like the bullied kid who becomes a comedian in an effort to avoid people laughing at them for the wrong reasons.

>>85670936
Legitimately the greatest super hero movie of all time.

>>85682142
Unironically this.
I mean, it's still a hyper flawed movie before that point, but the movie has a shit ton of gravitas to it at least unlike literally anythong in MCU

>>85671053
LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>85670936
Because it's a once in a millenia pure fucking cape KINO and will never be topped. And I'm a Marvel fag, our 'good ones' are good but they don't even come close.

>>85670936
It was made by one of the great living directors, every other franchise superhero movie gets the "pluck an indie director out of nowhere and give him a big budget movie because they're cheap and will follow orders" treatment.

I mean to be completely fair MOS/BVS are similarly auteurs drive except they're just bad and the vision they're following ill-conceived.

Point is, master level directors aren't something you find every day, and most of them have better things to do than superhero movies.

>>85676966
Winter Soldier was kind of 50/50 in that regard? It doesn't have a great score overall, but it does in my opinion have very good uses of what it has, at times.

The Cap vs WS fight has pretty tops music and sound direction.

>>85670936
TDK isn't that good. It's a great Heath Ledger Joker performance stuck in a mediocre movie about Batman, Two-Face, and a bunch of Rube Goldberg plots.

>>85670936
goddamn i miss this franchise

there was a time where movies were trying to be dark like the dark knight but they failed since they wouldnt go all the way

>>85686840
>Fuck white ppl: the movie
No

>>85670936

because he flipped an 18 wheeler over, because ledger killed himself making it, because a lot of effort went into the details and cgi was at a minimum, because it was a crime drama more than a prepackaged "superhero move", because they took their time setting it up with a very good movie in begins

because of the score
because of the cast
filmed in imax
the gritty/dark tone fit and didn't feel forced
with all of that, it was still fun

check out the fucking car chase in this culminating in the standoff in the street, or even the police chase in rises vs. the shitty cgi chase in B vs S

fuck there's lots of reasons why it's good. The reason why nothing has come close is because there is very little freedom in Marvel or DC movies to do what Nolan did

And as much as we can shit on Nolan for his bad dialogue and sometimes goofy writing, he's actually talented at directing huge, practical set-pieces and having a great result, and the majority of directors who touch comic book shit don't have that ability. I'd argue no director in the world is given the freedom and budget nolan has been combined with the ability to use it.

>why is there humor xxxdd

Guess what you faggots, most super hero comics are this way

>>85687056

Literally all of this. The only reason TDK is the 2nd best in the trilogy is because TDKR's opening scene is good enough to be it's own film.

>quips are humor
you don't know what humor is, even Seth Rogen is better than out of place retarded quips

Shitty directors + shitty source material.

It was realer than anything Nolan made.

The Dark Knight was nominated for eight Academy Awards for the 81st Ceremony most nominations received by a film based on a comic book

The Dark Knight was included in American Cinematographer's "Best-Shot Film of 1998-2008" list, ranking in the top 10. More than 17,000 people around the world participated in the final vote.

Name top ten films of 2008 by the American Film Institute.

The Dark Knight was ranked the 15th greatest film in history on Empire's 2008 list of the "500 Greatest Movies of All Time," based upon the weighted votes of 10,000 readers, 150 film directors, and 50 key film critics.

The Dark Knight continues Batman Begins' tradition of drawing primarily and heavily from the graphic novels, one shots and limited series' of the late 1980's and 1990's, but this time the writers also went all the way back to the roots, to the earliest issues of the Batman comic book. In addition to the same sources Batman Begins drew, some of the cited influences for The Dark Knight are the first two issues of Batman and The Killing Joke.

TIL about this site called Reddit, ooooooooh Reddit...

>>85670936
The success of The Dark Knight is in many ways what led to the downfall of the superhero genre. After it's release superhero movies became THE moneymakers for Hollywood so they felt a need to regulate them more closely to ensure profitability. This has stripped away any artistic vision a director could have in making a film. The Marvel are all just soulless copies of what Favreau did for Iron Man and the DC films are just total mishandlings of what Nolan did in The Dark Knight. Very rarely, if ever, does a superhero film, or any franchise film for that matter, feel like it's own film. They all feel like eating at a McDonald's.

>1,5 explosion and tons of cheapest shot in building that any Netflix capeshit can afford.
>Two-face half face
>cars that Batman on batpod blew up that they added in post-production
>Thumbler jump to block the rocket also was added in post-production
Wow! Amazing, no cgi, right?

Pff, this is fucking nothing, this is how Real filmmaking looks like when you have to synchronize every car flip with what CGi artists draw in post production https://youtu.be/xVjtsEmmoYo https://youtu.be/uadki0enVyg


Inb4 b-but my kike critics and YT essayists tells me otherwise

Maybe don't make these autistic Batman threads every day if you can't handle people praising latest Batman movie.
