The Heroes:
Since it is a Batman movie, the number one hero is naturally our Batman classmate, or Bruce Wayne classmate. Batman may be the richest of American comic heroes, but he may also be the easiest to be knocked down, because Batman does not have super powers like Superman Spiderman, Batman does not have any super powers, and is completely ordinary earthlings. One, but... Bruce Wayne is a super rich man, so he can come up with a lot of advanced equipment to arm himself and become a superhero who frightens criminals. In these 5 movies, there are a total of four who have played Batman. The first one was Michael Keaton. He was chosen to play Batman that year, which surprised many people because Keaton was not a very popular first-line star at the time, and he was more famous for acting in comedies, and the media were not optimistic about him. The gloomy and deep Batman, even some newspapers wrote articles satirizing Keaton. The satirical article was also published on the front page of the newspaper), but director Tim Burton stood out from the crowd and insisted on using Keaton. The final result proved that Keaton was a success. The movie received unanimous applause from the audience and critics, the box office sold well, and Keaton's performance was also affirmed. Tim later said that the reason why he chose Keaton was because of the look in Keaton's eyes. Because Batman is a masked character, it is unlikely that there will be any facial expressions. The eyesight becomes a very important one. Factor, and Keaton's eyes are piercing, with a sense of firmness, and can well show the heroism and justice of Batman, so he was selected.
Since then, due to the great acclaim of the first episode, the shooting of the second episode will be a logical one. The starring is still Keaton, which also shows that Warner's affirmation of Keaton's performance. Due to the insistence of the director Tim of the second episode, the Warner executives in the second episode did not get too involved in the shooting, and asked Tim to shoot according to his own ideas, so that the second episode has a more dark gothic style than the first episode. When the filming of the third episode started in 1995, Warner Corporation decided to change the style of the movie, so it hired Joe Schumacher as the director. Originally, Warner and Schumacher both planned to let Keaton play Batman for the third time, but Keaton refused. He claimed that he had been unable to break through the performance of the first two episodes (but personally think that part of it may be because of this episode. He is no longer the director of Keaton’s friend Tim, so Keaton also refused to play). After a round of casting, Fang Jimo, a handsome niche who was beginning to show up at the time, was finally selected to wear the Batman mask (Fang Ji Mohou said that the night before he was selected, he happened to be shooting a movie in Africa and went to a cave at night, where he saw bats living in the cave, and Warner called him the next day. , Asked him if he would like to play Batman, Fang Jimo thought this was a hint from GOD, ha ha). Fang Jimo’s Bruce Wayne in this film looks very handsome and elegant. The Batman look is also very sexy and beautiful due to the more tight-fitting clothes. Fang Jimo’s eyes are not as energetic as Keaton’s, but his handsomeness hides it. Because of this defect, the increase in action scenes also highlights his extraordinary skills (although many of them are taken by a double), making Fang Jimo considered the most successful Batman.
The box office score of the third episode surpassed the first two episodes, making Warner Company a lot of money. Therefore, after the third episode, Warner hurriedly launched the fourth episode, and when the fourth episode was filmed, the toy manufacturer’s The sponsorship funds have become a big head, so toy manufacturers have also put a foot in the shooting affairs. Director Schumacher later said in an interview with helplessness that many things at that time, including the styling of the characters and the development of certain plots, were affected by toys. Manufacturers’ influence, because manufacturers have to make toys based on movies and launch them at the same time as the movie, so they can’t let the movies show something that they think may affect sales. After the successful selection of the handsome guy Fang Jimo in the previous episode, this episode again decided to use the handsome guy as the starring role, but I don’t know why I didn’t look for Fang Jimo again (fortunately? Unfortunately?), but to look for Here comes George Clooney, who became popular for his role in the TV series benevolence. To be fair, Clooney’s performance was quite satisfactory and there was nothing too bad about it, but he put on a hood and turned into a Batman look. It makes people feel very awkward. This is because his temperament is that he looks more like a gentleman and polite brother, not like a lone hero who saves Gotham City. He alone plays Bruce Wayne, a rich man. It can be said that it is completely suitable, but in the movie, it doesn't look like he can make it. In the end, the fourth episode became the most unsuccessful episode of Warner's Batman movie, and the box office was far behind the previous episode. The film critics were also verbal and penalized. Warner was also discouraged and stopped making the Batman movie.
Until 2004, when Warner Corporation saw the popularity of comics and movies in the last few years, Spider-Man, X-Men, etc. appeared on the screen to show off their talents, and then thought of the money cow before, so they decided to start filming the fifth episode. The fifth episode is completely different from the first four episodes. The stories in the first four episodes are basically based on the plot of the comics. The fifth episode takes another shortcut and only uses the comics mentioned in Batman’s childhood to witness the killing of his parents. The process of how Bruce Wayne grows into Batman is not mentioned in the comics at all, so the directors can play freely and freely. The director of this episode is Christopher Nolan, who is famous for directing "Amnesia". Nolan has become famous for making niche drama movies. It is the first time to shoot such a summer action blockbuster, but he managed to make this one Both the audience and the film critics are very good. In this episode, the action scenes are still quite popular, but Nolan puts more emphasis on Batman’s psychological character, with Bruce Wayne being frightened by the bat when he was young. The fear of bats, the strong sense of guilt arising from witnessing the killing of his parents, describes how Bruce Wayne overcomes the shadow of psychology, transforms his fear of bats into the enemy’s fear of bats, and grows into a generation. hero. And this time wearing the Batman mask is Christian Bale, who is not well-known, but has a considerable level of acting prowess. Bell itself has a temperament of both good and evil, which fits exactly in the process of Bruce Wayne swinging between good and evil in the process of growing up. It can be said that it has surpassed the previous Batman, and once again created a true and credible. The convincing Batman makes people feel that Batman is no longer the image of a tablet in the comics, but a lifelike Batman that does exist in reality. Bell is also a very dedicated actor. Before filming Batman, he made the movie "The Mechanic". Due to the plot requirements, Bell dropped his weight to 120 pounds. After finishing "The Mechanic", he regained his weight to 220 pounds within two weeks, and developed a strong muscle, and immediately plunged into Batman shooting. According to my personal opinion, Michael Keaton’s Batman is the most vivid, Fang Jimo’s Bruce Wayne is the most similar, Christian Bale is the best overall image, and George Clooney is useless. . And because Bell has to undertake more psychological dramas than the other three in the movie, and his performance is quite in place, so I personally like Bell's Batman, Keaton and Fang Jimo tied for second place.
After a long time, I’m a little tired. I’ll talk about the other heroes and villains (actually they are my favorite in Batman movies) next time.
