re: 15 Reasons Tim Burton’s Batman is Better Than Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight

The plot of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight could not, I repeat COULD NOT, happen in the real world. Why should The Dark Knight Rises then be held up to this impossible standard?

Right, but why use the word, "realistic," as a defense? The Nolan movies are just as based in comic book shenanigans as any other superhero movie, but for some reason people tell me that they are intelligent because they are "realistic."

Realistic isn't a vague word, where there are different interpretations. It's pretty damn specific.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the Nolan movies, and I really enjoy the Burton ones. Both are ridiculous comic book stories, and both entertain. I just don't think that the Nolan movies deserve the accolades that they receive, because the truth is that they aren't realistic, or intelligent. They are just well made comic book movies.

By realistic, we mean that Nolan has grounded Batman in such away that it looks feasible for him to exist.

Well, no, nothing about his movies makes Batman look like a character that could feasibly exist.
