Fighting 1

Batman (1966) fighting scenes are very comical as words pop up like Kapow while a scene is in progress. This could be because the director Leslie H. Martinson wanted to keep to its comic book origins as the fights scenes would have them in the comic strips. Also this could be their because of the choreography of the fight scenes were awful as many of the punches were no where near the body, the words sometimes covers the hit being made and some could be there to move our eyes away from the hit.

Batman (1989) fighting scenes are done much better with no words popping up and more brawls however Tim Burton still uses the franchises comical routes as there are still silly one hit KO's here and there and having the goon go into a bin (which is not needed I think) to make the scene funnier, shows that Tim Burton is still using some tongue and cheek in his fight scenes to relate the past.


Batman Begins (2005) fight scenes have completely cut the comical element out and have just gone for pure intensity as the conflict is more realistic because rather than having one hit KO's, the film now has longer brawls with better choreography than the first Batman making this a complete revision of the franchise as there is hardly any influence from the other Batman films scene here.

  1. This is a good idead what has happened to the sidebar text?> some formatting issues I think. Make a post and be specific about what you are trying to find out from these films. Remember that film represents the culture in which it is made so that might be a starting point
