Editorial Opinion

Filed Under: Batman

Batman 3 is coming out in 2012.So is the Spider-man reboot.So lets compare the elders.Yes this is Burton vs Raimi.

1:The Hero: Spider-man is a bright daylight hero.Batman is a dark night hero.Criminals fear Spider-man but not the way they fear Batman.Here I am saying that Batman is more dark,more avenging hero

Winner:Batman

2:first enemy:The Spider has a pretty crazy menacing enemy.So does Batman.But,William Dafoes amazing performance,along with the Dr Jekell and Mr Hyde thing,Spider-man takes the win.

Winner:Spider-man

3:second enemy:The Penguin is so complex.Abandoned as a child,he was raised in a zoo,never really knowing who he was.He manipulated a corrupt business man,wanted to become mayor by acting fragile and weak,tried to kill all the first-born sons in the city,and when that didn't work tried destroying it. Doctor Octopus's story is just as tragic. His work and wife were killed in a freak accident.he was driven insane too.He just wants to finish his work.in the end Penguin falls into his own pool of toxins.comes back to land,starts choking up his insides and hi penguins come and buried him in the pool. Doctor Octopus sacrifices himself to save the city.

Winner:tie

4:third enemy:This is Edward vs Eddie.Terrible things happened to these characters on screen.venoms battle and ending proved more exiting and tragic.

Winner:Spider-man

5:sidekick:Robin was a self-confident idiot.he's stupid.he does nothing but blame,yell,and just plain slow Batman down.New Goblin,however was diabolical in the beginning.But at the end he and Peter actually work together.The thing that gives Harry the win is that he took a mortal wound.Through the heart mind you.Robin would never do that for Batman.

Winner:Spider-man

So that means that Spider-man takes the win.But thats just my opinion.tell me yours in the comment section.

1: I believe that both characters have a close background with the dead parents and being raised by old people. Spider-man even in live action is a more animated character and all his enemies hate him for his mouth. Batman is great because with his dark past he could have gone either way good or evil. He chose good and for that we love him. over all better character emotionally.

Winner the bat 1-0

2: Batman first enemy was great but lacked the true essence of the character so I will give you the spider-man win. considering the acting, as for the overall look of both characters seriously the green goblin looked like a [frick]ing power ranger. With the technology we had when that film came out it could have been done much better and the jokers make up although not top notch it was good so I will give spidey the win for the villain's actor but a loss for the stupid outfit still

Winner spidey. 1-1

3: The Penguin was fantastic. He really got into the role and the make up was outstanding. Alfred Molina ,Who I have to say I like as an actor, failed in this. I hated that the only thing that made him good in the film was his many arms. He became doc ock only for a few moments when he was talking to Harry for the first time since his accident. Otherwise he was not in any way shape or form nearly as sinister as the comic book villain

Winner the bat. 2-1 (tie really?)

4: Edward vs Eddie. This one will be fun I am really glad you made this one. Both movie's were a slap in the face to all characters involved. Sure Jim Carey was a good choice at the time but the riddler is not all bouncy and rubbery and shit. He is calm cool stands tall and strong and he's perplexing. He is brilliant and is never relenting in his riddles. Venom oh boy do I love me some venom. This is why when I saw the film I felt raped because they raped the character. "Eddie Brock is being played by the scrawny talent less queer from that 70s show?" really Really.Channing Tattem could have done a better job and I [frick]ing hate that guy. Eddie Brock is supposed to be strong and stupid not tiny and annoying. Seriously I wanted to punch him in the face in every scene because I knew that moron would become one of the most iconic villains for spiderman and he ruined it. I actually want to say both of these get no win but I will give it to the Bat because the Riddler was better than Topher Grace.

Winner The bat 3-1

5: I will give this one to spider-man right off the bat and this is why. I HATE ROBIN (until he becomes nightwing) and even more than robin I hate the actor. Although "new goblin" never existed in the franchise till the 3rd POS movie I did like the emotion change from hate to understanding. To think through 2 films all Peter had to do was go up to Harry's butler and say "tell him the truth, he wont listen to me". I pretty much agree with you on this though my main concerns is that the character never existed. Harry does become a goblin but it was the green goblin that he became. They could have even made him the hob goblin for all I care, but new Goblin?? Just stupid and he looked stupid. He was a horrible "villain" too. Relentless as he may have been in the fight scenes being that he was on top of spideys every move he was pathetic and taken down very easily twice if I am remembering correctly

Winner spidey 3-2

As I said Batman is a better character though spidey is just about as good. The tops of there universes. I am a marvel fan and I really can't stand any other DC characters. Batman is the most impressive and the way I see it he may as well be a marvel character because he shares a lot in common with quite a few marvel heroes. Wether it be dealing with anger, loss or just having a lot of money and high tech gadgets he just fits in the universe and is expelled from his own that consists primarily of aliens. He is human and a bullet will kill him. Just like a lot of the marvel heroes his humanity is his weakness. Not a green rock or fear. In the movies batman wins but as characters they are equals with differences. Wrap your head around that one

Considering the length of this I am sure I lost most of you so if you're still reading this I thank you for wasting your time as I did writing it lol

I agree with some of the above comments. This was poorly typed, thought out, and executed.

@Supersayianfan1: so are you counting Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in that seven or are you counting Batman: The Movie? It doesn't matter which one you count to make seven because either way Batman and Robin (which I'm assuming your talking about) would not be the fourth film. Also, their is no way Spider-Man 3 is as bad as Batman and Robin.

If you want to talk about good batman films there are 4. Tim Burton who did a good job at hitting on the darkness of the character and his surroundings and made Gotham believable. The next 2 and the best 2 are Nolan's Who really brought the franchise new light. A lot of people say they don't like batman begins but it was the best before the dark knight. If you want to talk about batman forever and batman and robin and how awesome they were then you don't belong on this website or on this planet

both batman and robin and spidey 3 sucked equally
thecaster
thecaster - 6/30/2011, 6:52 PM
I am thinking Supersayianfan1 is counting the Adam west batman. if he was talking about mask of the phantasm he would also need to include batman sub zero or what ever that Freeze movie was called.

golden123 - 6/30/2011, 6:52 PM
Also, Burton didn't direct Batman Forever or Batman & Robin.

golden123 - 6/30/2011, 7:13 PM
@thecaster: 1) Out of live-action films Batman: The ovie was also good. You just have to remeber that it is dated, and It is not primarily an action film.
2)Batman Begins being the best before The Dark Knight is a mjor opinion. An opinion that I have, too, but their are plenty of people who like Batman Returns or Batman better.
3)Spider-Man 3 is nowhere near in the same league as Batman & Robin. If you foreget about adaption problems then all you have in Spider-Man 3 are the singing and dancing and Emo-Parker. I, unlike most people, clearly saw that in Spider-Man 3 Peter was clearly trying to impress a girl with his dancing. The singing was for like less than 20 seconds at the begining of the film when Mary Jane was playing her role on Broadway. The Emo-Parker character apparently worked since your not supposed to like Peter after he gets attatched to the symbiote. Batman & Robin, on the other hand, had a lot of unexplainable negative things about it.
4) Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was theatrically released. Sub Zero was not theatrically released. So no, including MOP is not like including SZ.

@Supersayian1: Explain to me how Spider-Man 3 is as bad as Batman & Robin. My explanation is number 3 on my last comment.

@thecaster: Read the fourth sentence of this "editorial".
thecaster
thecaster - 6/30/2011, 7:51 PM
I didn't know that about sub zero. I agree with you except emo peter should have been dick peter in my eyes its pop culture taking control thanks to sony.

I am not saying that spidey 3 was better than batman and robin in fact I never mentioned batman and robin. I don't think I said anything about adam wests batman being bad either. Actually it was the first batman movie I ever saw. I have a damn good reason for my opinion on begins.

As nolan did very well he tried to make everything as believable as possible. He nailed it. There was action and there was a very good origin story. It built its self up to make the dark knight a great film. That way you don't need to explain a character too much in the next film so you have more control over newer characters such as harvey and the joker. Plus its the first movie to really include his origin

Here is my opinion on batman and robin It was aweful. Nothing about that movie caught my intrest in fact I walked out of the theater

I'd rather watch the Spiderman movies over Nolan's Batmovies anyday.
Spidey also beats Burton, because Burton only had one good movie.

@thecaster: You did mention Batman & Robin. You typed these exact words "both batman and robin and spidey 3 sucked equally". As for Batman: The Movie I was confused because you said that Batman only had four good films. So I assumed you were including Adam West's film in your Batman film list and making Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight the four good films. I know I probably shouldn't have assumed things. I, also, don't see your point about Batman (1989) not being an origin story.

golden123 - 6/30/2011, 8:55 PM
@supersayianfan1: I honestly don't remember that classroom scene. I will give you that the Aunt May scene was kinda weak, but it felt emotional like how a grandmother sharing past memories with a young man would be. I don't remember the dialouge between Harry and Peter weel enough to comment. I don't see what was wrong with the ending battle besides Venom, but that is an adaption problem. I would like you to explain the skewed story and air humping. The theme was foregiveness. The emo hair cut is nit picking. That Betty scene was like seven seconds long. Venom didn't even talk if my memory serves correctly. I will give you the bridge scene, though.
thecaster
thecaster - 6/30/2011, 9:37 PM
the classroom scene in which he is referring too is at the very beginning gwen stacy is there and doc Conners some dick in the first row uses a mirror to shine a light in peters face and he puts his hand up to block it from hitting him in the eyes and doc conners asks him if he has any more to add to what Gwen had said just before he put his hand up. Best scene in the film lol jk. Oh right in my original comment I didn't say anything about it so that threw me. I do need to go back and watch the film again but my point about the origin story had to do with the fact that in batman ,if I can remember correctly, they only touched on the fact that his parents were killed and non of the training he went though in Tibet. That's what made Batman Begins one of the best movies in my eyes. Also the fact that Raz was in it. One of my favorites. sure there were moments it wasn't spectacular and it was slow in its progression at times but that's what was good about it too because thats kinda what it needed to be, the way I see it, so they could sell to kids. Kids don't read a lot of comics these days so it was good for the origin to be in there for kids who simply don't know any better because they simply don't have a lot of his origin in the movies or some of the animated series. Correct me if I am wrong on anything but I am fairly sure I am right at least in my mind

On a side not and a completely unrelated topic why is it when I type some words here the spell checker says its wrong when it isn't. If I am spelling these wrong tell me favorites movies movie and Believable tnx

@Theamazingbatman & ncreb: If this guy/gal is seven then he/she should get help from somebody older who could check for mistakes in grammer, and who could help him with this project. Parents aren't really supposed to just let their seven year old kid do anything he/she wants on the internet. Parents should responsibly monitor what he/she does on here. If they knew he was doing this then he should have been able to get help.

@thecaster: True, no comic film is as bad as Batman & Robin, but there are others you could put in the same category as B&R. I haven't seen most of those, though. Anyways, when I said spider-Man 3 wasn't as bad as Batman & Robin. I was talking to Supersayianfan1. Also, both Batman and Batman Begins were origin stories. Batman just didn't touch on his training.

I would argue that at the very least Batman and Robin was so bad it was enjoyable to make fun of. I mean, who doesn't like to act like Arnold during the movie and making fun of his awful puns. Spiderman 3 isn't even that enjoyable. Best part of Spiderman 3 was Peter's "emo/cool dance/walk." And as for the article itself, it is impossible to make an objective opinion about two movies that are a decade apart from each other. It should have been a Nolan/Raimi comparison, but that's already been said. And if that were the case, it would be Batman Begins vs Spiderman 2 (Came out within one year of each other) and the winner would go to Batman hands down.

You were doing Burton vs Raimi Directing right? Burton didn't direct Batman Forever but you mention the Riddler (Oh he was one of four producers, big whoop). So in metro's defense, read some stuff before you go typing that individual need to read some stuff before typing. And Doc Ock sucked so much (regardless of how much you like the train fight), New Goblin sucked, Topher as Venom sucked, Sandman was pathetic, Mary Jane was so annoying, tying Sandman to Ben's death was complete crap, no web-shooters (WHY???), Dafoe was great but stuck with a retarded costume.
Keaton blew people away, Joker was awesome, Penguin was frightening, Catwoman was sexy, designs weren't dumb like Spider-Man.

I know that everyone has their own opinion and to each their own, but Spider-Man has proven since his debut in 1962 and throughout his grown popularity over these years that he totally outranks, outclasses, and dwarfs Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman's powers, costumes, and stardom. Think about it: Spidey has 2 suits; the red/blue and black/white (Superman never wears a black suit & Batman doesn't wear a red/blue one). Plus, Marvel's flagship hero has perfectly balanced attributes of both Kal-El and Bruce Wayne combined: that's a knock-out punch with the most grandeur that captures Most of the general audience's imagination. If put to the test, Spidey can take out Batman in a fight swiftly without flaw. The super-villain, Deathstroke, is a super-human that is the only person to beat Batman in a fight in spite of Bruce's well-rounded martial arts. People pride themselves in saying Batman "can beat anybody". That's a crock of sh**. Spidey can beat Deathstroke. He wouldn't know how to defend himself when up against Pete's superior extremely agile fighting ability that completely outdoes Bruce Lee's jeet kune do.

The Spider-Man movie trilogy has made more than any Batman movie. The only reason that the Dark Knight excelled was because of Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker and his memorial. Hey, Heath did an excellent job, but Batman only helped to a smaller extent.

Batman is a good, creative, innovative, and brave hero, but he's no "super-hero". Fans either lie about him or some of them don't know all of this information, including strengths and weaknesses about Batman like I do.
