So why are we still arguing 1989's "Batman" is the place to start? It's simple: Critical opinion and canon nitpicks aside, 1989's "Batman" set the standard for the plethora of superhero blockbusters to follow. That might sound like a trivial change, but it actually makes a significant difference: By removing the randomness and mundanity from Batman's foundational violence and attributing it to a major supervillain, Burton makes Batman's vendetta about a specific evil dude, rather than the abstract concept of crime. There's also the not-inconsequential matter of "Batman Begins" garnering slightly better reviews than 1989's "Batman" did.
