The Dark Knight is much more realistic than the first Batman. The Joker uses a pistol to shoot down a plane.


In Batman Begins he jumps rooftops in a heavy duty armored car and somehow they don't cave in. The bad guys crack open a water main to dump the toxic crap in a way that should have flooded the room. Gordon gets into the Batmobile and somehow knows how to drive it like an old pro.

In The Dark Knight he jumps out of a 20+ story building, catches Rachael, lands back first onto a car and crushes it. Yet somehow he gets right up like nothing happened. Who the hell even knows what happened to the people at that party b/c we never even see Batman go back. Half of Harvey's face is burned off yet he talks completely normal as if he still has a full set of lips. Pretty cool of Batman's rope to not completely dislocate Joker's leg when he catches him with it on the building.

As for Dark Knight Returns... Let's forget about how it would have been a ridiculous waste of time for Batman to make the flaming bat symbol on the bridge. Move past Catwoman's ability drive the motorcycle with the odd rotating wheels just as well as Gordon drove the tumbler or that she knew exactly where to go to save Bats from Bane. Forget about the inane notion that every single cop in the city would be ordered to go underground at the same time. It's not even the take over of Wayne's company that was CLEARLY done under terrorist threat thus would not be a valid transaction that stretches the limits of belief. Instead, let's focus on the fact that this is a movie that wants us to believe a nuke blowing up in a major city's harbor is a happy ending.

Sorry but Nolan's flicks are no more realistic than the first Burton Batman.

That movie had so many damn problems that it amazes me that it was rated so well.

I thought it was terrible.

Since I was talking about this one, I'll only refer to it. I only said it was MORE realistic than the first Batman. Dropping in a pile of chemicals makes you turn white and permanently gives you a smile? Batman sleeps upside down.



Batman kicks peoples asses without even being able to turn his head. Not to mention the fact that he's skinnier than me. He has a plane, yet we don't see where it comes from or how it takes off. The Joker makes a poison that makes everyone permanently smile, and then die. The Joker uses a gun with a hinge and a boxing glove. The Batmobile sets off a bomb right next to itself and comes out unscathed. The Joker makes balloons that poison comes out of. Batman and Vale fall from a building and come to a COMPLETE stop and are unscathed, and just before they were holding on to a ledge for like 5 minutes. We don't know anything about how Batman got trained to fight. We don't know how he built his jet or where his car came from. This is not even an argument.

It's the execution of the films that makes it seem more realistic. Nolan presents all of this in such a way that it makes us believe it could happen in the real world. Re-watch Burton's original Batman films and compare them to Nolan's. You will see two distinctively different presentations.
