Top 3 Evil Batman Villains in Batman Movies

Though affected by Colorado Shooting, the box office revenues of The Dark Knight Rises still amount to 161 million dollars in the first three days. As the ending movie of Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises earned both money and good reputations. Though inferior to The Avengers in the opening week performance, The Dark Knight Rises is quite promising to be the most profitable movie of the year.

If you are careful enough, you probably will find that behind every successful Batman movie stands an impressive evil Batman villain. Due to those Batman villains, the image of Batman had become much more impressive and heroic. In The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Hardy perfectly impresses us with his evil image as a Batman villain. Therefore, this post will present you top three Batman villains in Batman series.

1. Bane by Tom Hardy

In the Comics, Bane may not be the most powerful Batman villain, but he is definitely the strongest Batman enemy. He broke Bruce Wayne's backbone which disabled the Batman. Therefore, in The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Hardy is still the strongest Batman villain with the desire to ruin the whole city. In the final fight against Batman, he loses in a narrow margin.

2. Joker by Heath Ledger

Though Joker present by Jack Nicholson is wonderful, I think this Batman villain starred by Heath Ledger is much more impressive. Though passed away in an earlier time, Heath Ledger still won his Academy Awards with his performance as Joker in The Dark Knight. Moreover, his images as Joker ranked second as the evilest villain in superhero movies.

Joker presented by Heath Ledge is an insane but intelligent man. He knows well about human's weakness as well as the method to utilize them to defeat his enemies and drive them crazy. He also makes Batman in The Dark Knight fall into deep agony. The image of Joke is so successfully that many people assert that the achievements of The Dark Knight Rises would have gone far beyond with another Heath Ledger.

3. Penguin by Danny DeVito

Penguin is one of the earliest and most powerful Batman villains. Appeared in Batman Returns, Penguin had brought quite a lot of troubles to Batman. In the movie, Penguin feels self-contempt for his short body figure and his strange nose. Abandoned by his parents, Penguin has to live in the sewer.

However, his hate has made him a Batman villain who is not only irritable but also evil. He wants to destruct the whole city so that all the people can feel the agony he has suffered for years. He is also hypocritical who pretends to be a nice guy in public.

Those are the top three Batman villains in Batman movies. Since the DVD versions of Dark Knight Rises and Batman Returns are available, one can easily watch the DVDs on Google Nexus 7 by converting the DVDs to MP4 videos. For one thing they can enjoy the good performance of the Batman villains; for another, the operations are quite simple.

The Evolution Of Batman Movie

Last weekend, The Avengers won the world's respects with 200 million dollars in box office.It has become the number one hot spot at present and even threats the dominance of Avatar, the most profitable movie in history.

With the league consists of Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor and Captain America, even Harry Potter can't stop its success. A hot topic today is which movie can compete with The Avengers this year. Among all the candidates, The Dark Knight Rises is a promising one.

Batman movie has gone through major ups and downs in the past twenty years. Several years ago, when Batman movie was regarded as a poison to the box office performance, no one would expect it could be so popular at present. This post will take you to have a view at the evolution of Batman movie.

1. Batman

As the first member of Batman series, this movie was released in 1989 and ranked first in terms of box office performance at that time. With the direction of Tim Burton, this film was cold and creepy in atmosphere. This movie mainly tells you the battle between Batman and Joker. This movie makes a good start for the whole Batman series.

2. Batman Returns

As the director, Tim Burton told the world the return of Batman in 1992. In the movie Batman needs to fight against penguin man who is lonely and cruel in nature. Catwoman will also give her performance here. This movie ranked third in box office at that time. Though it was still popular, it was less influential. Since this movie, Batman movie had gone through a tough time for long.

3. Batman and Robin

With the cast consists of Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and George Clooney, this movie aims to gain those lost places for Batman movie. However, it was proved to be a disaster. This movie had pushed Batman movie to the lowest place. Due to the heavy loss of this movie, no director dared to direct Batman movie for 8 years.

4. Batman Begins

In 2005, Nolan saved the fame of Batman movie with Batman Begins. He was bold enough to ignore all the successful factors made by Tim Burton to make the movie with his own style. This movie is extraordinary different in style comparing to its predecessors.

This movie is old in plot. It tells a story of how Batman becomes a superhero by learning from a man named Ducard and how he begins his way to wipe out evils. However, Nolan successfully gave new birth to the old story. This movie ranked third in box office at that time.

5. The Dark Knight

Released in 2008, this movie witnessed the great achievements Batman movie could get. It has not only created one legend after another in box office and also brought many fans to Batman movie. Without The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises couldn't be viewed as one of the most anticipated movie in 2012. Of course, The Dark Knight helped Batman movie regain first place in box office that year.

T

hose are the evolutions of Batman movie. After suffering so much, we believe Nolan will present us a good movie that can match with The Dark Knight. So if you want to watch Batman movie with The new iPad, you may as well convert those DVDs to mp4 files for The new iPad with DVD Ripper.
