Batman Mask of the Phantasm should have been it's own choice on this list.

Someone could tell me they think that's the best adaptation of Batman, and I wouldn't think less of them for it. It's not mine, but it's certainly worthy of the title. That tombstone scene in the rain where he is speaking to his parents is pretty haunting and shows you how this guy just can't let it go and move on with his life. Why he needs to just keep putting the cape and cowl back on.

@@grantm6133 I think people misconstrued "being live action" and "being serious". This has been proven the case many times actually. Anime for example has tons of series that completely break that stereotype. Not an Anime fan? BTAS: Robin's Reckoning Part I, when Bruce Wayne approaches a young Dick Grayson who has lost his parents, and has to console him. What deeper themes are people actually talking about? What about "It's Never Too Late"? Two mob bosses at war with one another, one has to come to grips with the damage he's done not only to his city but his own family, Batman finds a way to bring him back from the edge. For fucks sake, the drugs he peddled got his own son addicted, and is shown to be in rehab. What's more "DEEP" than that? Not DEEP enough for you? How about "Appointment in Crime Alley"? It's revealed that Batman visits Crime Alley every year on the anniversary of his parent's death. Meanwhile a business man plans to destroy crime alley to pave over it with new Condos. In one scene a woman's house in broken into as men try to get her out of the house, he crying daughter runs out into the street as Batman arrives. Do I honestly HAVE to keep going? Both mediums have their merits but one isn't topic related nor tonal. With the right people, an animated film can be as dark, brooding, gritty, or as emotional as a Live Action film can be. It's all in the eyes of the beholder, in Japan, Anime is taken incredibly seriously and regularly takes the spotlight over live action films, there is no bias there. So what's the issue? It's called "disassociation", some people can't associate animated entertainment with live action entertainment. That's why some say "Live Action is always better", it's because in their minds, they don't associate something that is animated with something that is real, they can't take it seriously, because they can't comprehend what is happening. "This isn't real enough, ergo the acting isn't real, so I can't empathize."

Not sure I agree. Nolan’s Batman is the most grounded I would say, and while Keaton does a great job as Batman, its too stylized, the score is too whimsical for a dark crime fighting vigilante(Danny Elfman is better when he’s making shit like the Simpsons theme) and the performances aren’t the best. Christian Bale is batman. He looks and acts the part, he plans his moves, he trains, he’s got gadgets and he makes mistakes. I know people always bring up his voice, but he has a gruff voice in the comics and he would want to disguise his voice in public anyways. That’s just my opinion, but I definitely think the Dark Knight trilogy is the greatest.

Batfleck's entire character arc in BVS is about him becoming a hero again. He was introduced as a monster, a demon in the shadows. Taking down criminals not to save those trafficked women, but for a lead on Kryptonite so he can destroy Superman. The murder of Robin by The Joker and watching Superman's battle with Zod destroy Metropolis has broken him. He feels powerless against a cruel world he can't control any longer, and that rage has turned a good man cruel. He now kills to defend himself and other people, and brands the most heinous criminals to condemn them. Cold-blooded murder will be his final step. When he hears Superman use (what he thinks is) his dying breath to beg him to save his mother, he finally sees that he has become the villain. It's not about their mothers having the same name. It's about Batman realizing that he is no different than the monster who killed his parents and created him; the expression on his face after realizing superman's mom has the same name as his mom wasn't coincidence, but a sense of realization, In throwing down the spear and saving Super man's mother, he also saves himself. Overall it was actually a very compelling character moment, and I actually liked it (I was 13 when I 1st watched it, now I'm 19 I'm much more critical when it comes to film review) it was just executed WAY too poorly and rushed.

Civil War is criminals committing more crimes and hurting their friends. The only dude who can stop it all and talk everyone down being so emotionally tortured throughout the film that he gives up on them. Had Cap just subdued Bucky in the apartment and Bucky been questioned by someone like Black Widow, as a favor to Cap? Yeah. No more Civil War. Widow is technically a government agent, not an Avenger, so there's little to no need for suspicion from the Accords members. She would have gotten the job done with enough time. That Sokovian dude would not have known Bucky was apprehended, because there'd be no stupid chase through the streets. There would be no need for an alternative interrogator. And Rhody would still have his legs. The movie is overcomplicated garbage. *EDIT* With a plot that proves the point of the Accords. These idiots are loose cannons.

He could have simply said "save my mom", but the fact that he says "Martha" almost makes Batman a member of his family. I'm not done, I could write a whole book about how much this scene makes sense.

As Bruce Wayne acts like he has money and doesn't care for and completely different to his Batman personality. And Jack's Joker performance is just spot on. Always laughing, messing about, just does stuff for no reason and used silly gadgets just like in the comic's. And the animated Batman took inspiration from the characters.

About the “Martha” scene, I think that when Superman said “Martha”, it reminded Bruce that that was the last word his father said before he died. Throughout the movie, Alfred kept warning Bruce about going too far in his fight against criminals and about how Superman isn’t their enemy. So hearing “Martha” from Superman, he now finds himself in the position of potentially becoming the kind of person that took his parents lives, and becoming the murderer that created Batman in the first place. That’s what stopped him. The music being played in this scene is also the same as the scene in which his parents died, so I think that’s the reasoning behind the scene.
