The Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy was a mistake

HA!
Got you. With this very scandalous title, you have fallen into my trap.
You are now intrigued on why would I say such a ludicrous statement.
But then again... you are now reading this and are expecting a good professional reasoning on why I actually think that the Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy was a mistake. Well, it wasn't a mistake, but at the same time, it was.


Let's try to calm down the batman's fans. Believe me. I am a huge fan of the great creation by Bob Kane. I wish I could know him better. I just know him by a few iconic comics I've read, and all the movies, animations, tv series, online series, online comics, forums, wiki pages, discussion boards, author emails, professional critics, and not so professional critics I've seen around. As a fan, I gotta say that Christopher Nolan does a great job of creating a very unique universe towards the Dark Knight. And he was the first director (in my opinion) that made the comic book movie genre to be taken seriously, after a bunch of flops... (YES... Ang lee... still looking at you). I wish I could bring a "but" to this statement. Many people say that the Dark Knight trilogy is flawless, beside some small plot holes. Every time I see them, I feel the same way. They are pretty awesome movies. A true statement on, not just a story of Batman, but on society, madness, fear, politics, corruption, heroism and real struggles of real people. In fact, there is one scene where there are different Batmans  out there fighting crime together. What is the difference between them and Batman?

There is nothing fantastic about the trilogy. At the end of the day, you feel like there could be a man dressed as a bat out there , fighting crime and trying to bring society to a better place! There could be a man out there with scars on his face bringing chaos to the city and being a total psychopath. Sure, there are a few things that keep the reality at bay. Some technological advancements that one sees in the movies that may be a bit too far-fetched to believe. But my point still stands.

Now... something to be mentioned is that the series needed a reality check. After the abomination that was Batman and Robin...
The series got too goofy and too silly. It needed a darker light, it needed to be taken seriously again. Nolan saved the franchise.
He gave the franchise a good name, a real name.

So, why do I think it was a mistake?

Because of the reality of it all.

Yes. The very thing that made these films incredibly great, is also the very thing that makes it a mistake. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that the movies are bad. Or that the movies are the worst thing that humanity has brought to the screen (Looking at you now Michael Bay and Tommy Wiseau).
No.
But, to fully understand my point, we need to look at some comic book history.
When Batman was first released back in May 1939, there was a sense of fantasy, that comic books gave head to. Comic books were (and are) the new fantasy genre of literature... (as an English Major, I have the right to say this). And that is what the Batman series was for the longest time. It was never too real. There was something that wouldn't make sense, and yet it would make perfect sense.
Batman is the perfect blend between fantasy and reality, when it comes to comic book characters. But, the fantasy always comes out more. It is never too real of a series. For example, let's talk about Ra's Al Ghul. In the comic book, Ra's comes back to life several times using the famous Lazarus' pit. Something that in reality is not possible. In the comic book, it's completely normal. Something like that would never be shown at at Christopher Nolan's film. It would be too fantastic. It has to stick with a certain reality.

So, I've talked about why the movie is great but flawed at the same time... why?
I wouldn't be saying any of it if it wasn't for this

This new Batman coming out is being hated by a lot of people. Why? Because it's not Chris Nolan's Batman. It seems like it is going to be a out of reality batman. We've seen the way the Man of Steel movie was. There was a man that could FLY!! Does that sound real to you? Would that be on a Nolan film? Of course not. It's not real...
This new Batman is not going to be real. He will do things that will be out of the normal scenario. Might actually look far-fetched even.
But that is what a comic book movie is. Something that is not real, being portrayed in a real world. Think about the Avengers, or any other GOOD comic book movie. There is no reality with it. You can't say "Yeah... I see myself being alongside a Thor"... Of course not.

Where am I headed with all of this? Well, even though people are hating on the Bat-fleck, it is safe to say that I will have high hopes for this film. I just think that people should not place their idea of Batman on the Christopher Nolan's films.

I can only hope that this Batman is a true comic book batman. Nolan's Batman was good... but not the right one that we needed... probably the one we deserved... or was it the other way around?
