A verrry tough choice. I love them both. But I went with 89 too. I love the gritty style of the film very much.  (and the suit)  ;)

"Do you like eating in here?"   ...Oh yeah. .. ....   ... ... ...You know to tell you the truth, I don't think I've ever been in this room before.   
"hahaeheheh"  You want to get out of here?  "YES."

Now that I think of it, I like how tonally and stylistically different these films are. You CAN'T mistake a screen capture from BR as a B89 one, and vice versa. It's not like having two pieces of the same cake you enjoy, but like having two very different but equally enjoyable cakes  ;D

A dead race in my opinion, I love them both equally.

It's hard to choose, Because I loved both 89 and Returns.  But If I had to pick one....I'd pick Returns.   I loved it's darkness and sense of mystery. It was haunting yet beautiful.  Danny and Michelle were both top notch as the Penguin and Catwoman. Returns is a severly underrated film.  Not just as a Batman film but as a film in general. I hope one day we get another Batman movie similar in tone to Returns.  I have a special place in my heart for BR.

Hopefully we will see some Returns fans, because as you know, it's an all round superior effort.  ;)

Maybe, posters could list the top five things they love and possibly dislike about each film before they give their final verdict.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Was watching BR yesterday, and while I loooooove 89, I think Returns is best. I prefer 89's Gotham, but Returns has better acting, better special effects, and IMO, a better Batman.
But 89 has a more nostalgic and classic atmosphere. ;D
Batman Arkham Asylum: The Batman game the fans were waiting for.

I voted  Returns, its my favourite Batman film ever, however Batman would be second, both are great films, but I just like Returns as its not as religious to the comics as Batman.  I have never read a Batman comic, and probably never will, so I don't really care for how near to the comics the films are, however I do know about the origins of characters and such.

Plus, I like the darkness of Returns, and the psychology of it.

Oh, and I love how Batman is such a badass, lol
He just kicks major ass and just doesn't give a piss


The poll's split right down the center with 50/50.

I'm going with B89.
