A lot of people, including non-comic fans, think that Christopher Nolan's 蝙蝠侠 films are well-made, high-class films. In fact, several versions of Batman, including the 60's 显示 and 90's films, are treated as if they're inferior and not worth taking seriously.
However, I, whatsupbugs, am one of Batman's 更多 obsessive and geeky 粉丝 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 蝙蝠侠 en Robin, is better than Christopher Nolan's highly-acclaimed trilogy.
You're probably already confused and 你 might think this is a joke. However, I genuinely believe that the Nolan trilogy would of been better if it had been 更多 like Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin.
Most of 你 probably know the three Nolan films: 蝙蝠侠 Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. However, you're probably wondering what Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin is. Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin is a 1991 film, that was made in the Philippines. It's 更多 of a comedy and a parody, than an official action film.
Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin stars comedian Joey de Leon as the older brother of Kevin (played 由 de Leon's real-life son, Kempee). The duo decide to start dressing up as 蝙蝠侠 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 企鹅 and a mysterious woman, who calls herself Catwoman. 蝙蝠侠 and Robin attempt to stop the villains, but 蝙蝠侠 is distracted 由 his romantic attraction to Angelique Legarda, a reporter.
Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin has several 音乐 numbers, that are parodies of 流行的 songs. Also, various superheroes have cameos at the end. As 你 might expect, the film is campy, silly, over-the-top and very random.
你 might think I'm crazy, for liking the outlandish Filipino 蝙蝠侠 film 更多 than the big-budget, professionally-made Nolan films. However, before 你 send me off to Arkham Asylum, allow me a chance to explain myself. Nolan's 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 films should have. Nolan's films seem too obsessed, with trying to be serious, dignified films, than actually being enjoyable and entertaining films. Alyas 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 粉丝 claim The Dark Knight is the best 蝙蝠侠 film ever made. However, Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin puts me in a much better, happier and sillier mood, than The Dark Knight.
In the Nolan films, 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 en Robin, 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 actually smiles and enjoys life. He's a delight to watch, unlike the overly-serious 蝙蝠侠 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 企鹅 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 蝙蝠侠 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 说 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 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 comic ever made? The Dark Knight Returns is a boring, depressing story. It pails in comparison, to Bill Finger's classic 蝙蝠侠 comics, which remember that happiness and colorful antics are okay things to have in comic books. Nolan's films were heavily-inspired 由 Frank Miller's overly-dark take on Batman, which is a shame.
Thankfully, Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin, was inspired 由 the 60's 蝙蝠侠 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 说 for Rene Requiestas, who has some similarities with Cesar Romero, but is also incredibly creative and unique.
In Nolan's 蝙蝠侠 films, 蝙蝠侠 has a questionable subplot, that involves Rachel Dawes. Bruce and Rachel were childhood friends, but out of nowhere, Bruce starts liking Rachel as 更多 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 移动 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 蝙蝠侠 en Robin, the romance between 蝙蝠侠 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 蝙蝠侠 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 《金装律师》 and talk about boring, realistic, overdramatic stuff. In Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin, the 超能英雄 and villains wear colorful, beautiful costumes. They smile, they sing, they dance and they enjoy life. Also, 蝙蝠侠 never kills anybody and he actually helps a few villains change their ways and stop being bad.
Nolan's 蝙蝠侠 films act like 你 have to be dark, serious, intense, realistic and joyless, in order to make a real superhero film. Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin isn't afraid to be goofy 或者 weird. Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin is a film that remembers that happiness exists and being playful and lighthearted is better than being overly-dark and intense. If 你 want to know how to make a fun and joy-inducing superhero film, I recommend watching Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin.
So, what do 你 think? Are Nolan's 蝙蝠侠 films overrated? Is Alyas 蝙蝠侠 en Robin an underrated masterpiece? Am I insane? Feel free to let me know. Hate 评论 are frowned upon, but constructive criticism is always welcomed.
