A lot of people, including non-comic fans, think that Christopher Nolan's बैटमैन films are well-made, high-class films. In fact, several versions of Batman, including the 60's दिखाना and 90's films, are treated as if they're inferior and not worth taking seriously.
However, I, whatsupbugs, am one of Batman's और obsessive and geeky प्रशंसकों and I'd like to propose a theory. It's a crazy theory, but I still believe in it. My theory is that the 1991 comedy film, Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, is better than Christopher Nolan's highly-acclaimed trilogy.
You're probably already confused and आप might think this is a joke. However, I genuinely believe that the Nolan trilogy would of been better if it had been और like Alyas बैटमैन en Robin.
Most of आप probably know the three Nolan films: बैटमैन Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. However, you're probably wondering what Alyas बैटमैन en Robin is. Alyas बैटमैन en Robin is a 1991 film, that was made in the Philippines. It's और of a comedy and a parody, than an official action film.
Alyas बैटमैन en Robin stars comedian Joey de Leon as the older brother of Kevin (played द्वारा de Leon's real-life son, Kempee). The duo decide to start dressing up as बैटमैन and Robin, because one of Kevin's classmates, named Jocson, has started committing crimes, while dressed as the Joker. Jocson works with his uncle, who dresses like the पेंगुइन and a mysterious woman, who calls herself Catwoman. बैटमैन and Robin attempt to stop the villains, but बैटमैन is distracted द्वारा his romantic attraction to Angelique Legarda, a reporter.
Alyas बैटमैन en Robin has several संगीत numbers, that are parodies of लोकप्रिय songs. Also, various superheroes have cameos at the end. As आप might expect, the film is campy, silly, over-the-top and very random.
आप might think I'm crazy, for liking the outlandish Filipino बैटमैन film और than the big-budget, professionally-made Nolan films. However, before आप send me off to Arkham Asylum, allow me a chance to explain myself. Nolan's बैटमैन films do have some good elements, like great casting, a few good emotional scenes and action-packed chases and fights.
However, Nolan's films are missing some important elements, that बैटमैन films should have. Nolan's films seem too obsessed, with trying to be serious, dignified films, than actually being enjoyable and entertaining films. Alyas बैटमैन en Robin makes me smile and the film is blossoming with such a goofy and fun-loving feeling. Nolan's films are overly-serious, dark and realistic. A lot of बैटमैन प्रशंसकों claim The Dark Knight is the best बैटमैन film ever made. However, Alyas बैटमैन en Robin puts me in a much better, happier and sillier mood, than The Dark Knight.
In the Nolan films, बैटमैन is so dark, that he even dresses in black. He mopes around, acts intimidating and generally doesn't seem like a happy person. In Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, बैटमैन experiences a brotherly-bond with Robin, experiences romance-related happiness with Ms. Legarda and even learns to find some good in his former enemies. The Filipino बैटमैन actually smiles and enjoys life. He's a delight to watch, unlike the overly-serious बैटमैन of the Nolan trilogy.
A big problem with The Dark Knight is how dour the Joker is. The Joker is supposed to be a goofy, fun villain. However, in The Dark Knight, he wastes a lot of time with his boring speeches. Instead of goofing around with पेंगुइन and Catwoman, he has a bunch of repetitive, uninteresting conversations with mobsters. Instead of making jokes, he makes overly-cynical monologues about how crazy the world is and how anybody can be corrupted. In Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, the Joker is hilarious and oddly likeable. He makes jokes, he's full of energy and he's a very happy and lively person. Rene Requiestas gave an amazing performance, that was full of passion and entertainment. The same can be कहा for Heath Ledger. It wasn't Ledger's fault, that the Joker was so dull in The Dark Knight. The blame goes to the writers, who I'm sure had good intentions, but they ended up making an unpleasant version of the Joker.
Nolan's बैटमैन films suffer the same problems, that a lot of other superhero-related media suffers from. For some strange reason, superheroes started being treated like the most serious, realistic, edgy and hardcore thing ever made, but why is that? Why is The Dark Knight Returns treated like the best बैटमैन comic ever made? The Dark Knight Returns is a boring, depressing story. It pails in comparison, to Bill Finger's classic बैटमैन comics, which remember that happiness and colorful antics are okay things to have in comic books. Nolan's films were heavily-inspired द्वारा Frank Miller's overly-dark take on Batman, which is a shame.
Thankfully, Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, was inspired द्वारा the 60's बैटमैन show, which is what makes the film so charming. Joey de Leon gives a performance, that's similar to Adam West, while still managing to give his own take on the character. The same can also be कहा for Rene Requiestas, who has some similarities with Cesar Romero, but is also incredibly creative and unique.
In Nolan's बैटमैन films, बैटमैन has a questionable subplot, that involves Rachel Dawes. Bruce and Rachel were childhood friends, but out of nowhere, Bruce starts liking Rachel as और than a friend. He likes Rachel so much, that he was willing to give up saving people as Batman, just so he could be with Rachel. The fact that Rachel was already dating Harvey Dent makes Bruce look even less likeable. Also, in The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce mopes around Wayne Manor, for 8 years, just because he feels like he has nothing to live for, without Rachel. I understand that people need time to हटाइए on, but he did nothing, for 8 years! He didn't fight crime, he didn't save people and he didn't look over his company. He abandoned everybody that depended on him, so he could be a sad, lonely loser.
In Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, the romance between बैटमैन and Ms. Legarda is superficial and shallow, but since the film is a parody, that's intentional. Their relationship is very humorous and fun. Robin has his own romance subplot, with Vina, who is one of his classmates. Robin and Vina are actually a cute duo and they even sing a sweet romance song.
In बैटमैन Begins, Bruce burns down the League of Shadows' hideout, which had people in it, yet claims he doesn't kill people. In Nolan's films, the characters wear boring सूट्स and talk about boring, realistic, overdramatic stuff. In Alyas बैटमैन en Robin, the हीरोस and villains wear colorful, beautiful costumes. They smile, they sing, they dance and they enjoy life. Also, बैटमैन never kills anybody and he actually helps a few villains change their ways and stop being bad.
Nolan's बैटमैन films act like आप have to be dark, serious, intense, realistic and joyless, in order to make a real superhero film. Alyas बैटमैन en Robin isn't afraid to be goofy या weird. Alyas बैटमैन en Robin is a film that remembers that happiness exists and being playful and lighthearted is better than being overly-dark and intense. If आप want to know how to make a fun and joy-inducing superhero film, I recommend watching Alyas बैटमैन en Robin.
So, what do आप think? Are Nolan's बैटमैन films overrated? Is Alyas बैटमैन en Robin an underrated masterpiece? Am I insane? Feel free to let me know. Hate टिप्पणियाँ are frowned upon, but constructive criticism is always welcomed.
