| abstract | - NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. And welcome to a new portion of the show called Old vs. New. NC: This is where I take something old and nostalgic, and compare it to a recent remake to find out which one is better. With that said, let's take a look at two of my favorite movies of all time: Batman and The Dark Knight. NC (vo): Now both these films pushed the envelope of how to make a good comic book movie. They were dark, edgy, and constantly breaking the barrier between fun kiddy antics and epic adult dilemmas. But which one is truly better: the original or the re-imagining? NC: Now I know, technically, Batman Begins was the first of these new movies, but The Dark Knight is considered to be the best, and it has the most similarities to the '89 film, battling the Joker and so forth. Also, remember that NONE of this is fact, it's strictly opinion, so don't go ape-shit if you don't agree with me. (Beat) Even if you are completely wrong. So, let's see who's the best bat as we compare Batman and The Dark Knight. NC: Well, let's just cut to the chase and jump to the main character: Michael Keaton vs. Christian Bale.
