i don't involve myself in the "how dare scorsese say that comic book movies aren't high cinema" because he's just unambiguously right (and i say that as someone who enjoys comics and liked watching the batman) but the funniest part of all the people trying desperately to refute him with "chris nolan directed batman movies" is that a) he was allowed to keep his own style and distinction which is a Big sticking point in the discussion of how fucking bland mcu stuff looks right now and b) nolan's batman movies are good as movies, but they absolutely fucking suck as batman movies specifically so the whole point is kinda moot anyway

#personal #honestly if he'd changed some names to avoid copyright he could have just made this an original trilogy about a new vigilante #like they're TERRIBLE as batman stories they suck so bad as batman stories #i don't think he understood a single character from any batman/detective comics issue #but like that's fine (horrific whitewashing of the al ghuls and selina aside)#because as films they're very well done and they follow nolan's distinct style visually tonally thematically and just generally #they're very clearly nolan movies not just a generic WB comic book movie #which is again a major sticking point with the bad mcu stuff #that any time someone wants to go against the corporate blandness that's become a hallmark of this film they're fired #or they do it anyway like sam raimi and the twitter mcu bros act like it's the end times #(seriously i once saw someone comment on raimi using a circle transition by using the phrase 'he's defiling this holy marvel film')#(y'all are not okay in the head)
