This page is not a forum for general discussion about Batman Begins. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Batman Begins at the Reference desk.

After using a character's full name on first reference, the plot summary subsequently refers to some characters by first name (Alfred, Bruce, Rachel) and some by last name (Crane, Ducard, Earle, Falcone, Fox, Gordon). If these were real people we would use last names for all of them (MOS:SURNAME), but I don't see any guidance for what to do with fictional characters. Regardless, it reads oddly to mix the two styles in the same sentence. Lee Choquette (talk) 19:10, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to show reliable sources commonly and consistently referring to this as a film about a psychopath in order for this film to fit that category. DonQuixote (talk) 01:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Features psychopathic scarecrow and ra's al ghul. Any more explanation needed?

Yes, like what expert you got that information from. DonQuixote (talk) 01:47, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, anything and everything can be challenged. So I challenge you to verify the above. Be aware that original research is not allowed. DonQuixote (talk) 01:56, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An over-enthusiastic IP editor has changed the list of awards in this article and has gone too far - most notably there are a bunch of awards listed for other films in the Dark Knight series that shouldn't be here. The question is where to revert back to? It appears to me that the last "clean" version of the article was edit #855139309, timestamped "01:09, 16 August 2018‎" in the revision history. I'm not an expert in these films, so I leave it to those of you following the article in your watchlists to make the determination. Cheers, PKT(alk) 17:07, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Grandpallama: the previous wording was to state the comparison between the Schumacher duology as a whole and the Nolan trilogy; I changed the lead according to the article. QuestFour (talk) 13:12, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Batman V and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 22#Batman V until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

why didn't we mention whether it's British superhero film or American superhero film like all other superhero movies? Ashokkumar047 (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's a consensus in films that if there's more than one country involved then it's best mentioned in the infobox rather than the lede. DonQuixote (talk) 12:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I saw Alfred Hitchcock Wikipedia. There it's mentioned like he was an English filmmaker but in citizenship section it's mentioned as United Kingdom and United States.

Ref: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock Ashokkumar047 (talk) 12:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alfred Hitchcock is not a movie. DonQuixote (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also for 1917 film, it's mentioned as British film but in Countries section, it's mentioned as United Kingdom and United States. Ashokkumar047 (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a work in progress with a large number of contributors who don't necessarily run around in the same circles. If you want to bring it up at the 1917 article, feel freel to do so. DonQuixote (talk) 12:52, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They've been uploaded to archive.org here, in case anyone can review for information worthy of inclusion. ZeaLitY [ Talk - Activity ] 04:17, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
