I'm willing to some day give it a shot...it's just not topping the list.
Wait, I thought you were joking, trying to reflect today's modern fandom.
Are you serious?
Clooney wasn't Batman. He was just George Clooney in a (terrible) halloween costume. Kilmer was fine, but he was just aping Keaton for the most part.
Bale and Keaton were both great in different ways and both not as great in different ways, but I'd pick Bale between the two of them. Affleck had potential, but he never had a single good movie so it wasn't really worth much. Plus he was checked out/phoning it in almost as hard in Justice League as Clooney was in B&R.
I disagree. Clooney is the only one of the three actors from that series that I found credible as Bruce Wayne. He would've made an excellent Batman if he'd had better material to work with.
(Although I'm admittedly biased since his father Nick Clooney was my favorite local newscaster and a casual friend of my father's.)
See, I just don't buy that. If you didn't like Tim Burton or his movies, you would be in every thread even tangentially related to one of his movies (like the DC thread) yelling at the top of your lungs about how awful Burton's Batman was to any other version, and how it ruined the '66 series for you, or how Warner Brothers should be closed down because of how bad the '89 movie was. I was under the impression that's how one acts when they don't like something or someone.
If someone disagrees with you its because they are ashamed of comics.
Was in those movies.
That is why the Burton Bat films were terrible and not a all representing the character.
Even Robert Lowrey--the 1949 serial Batman was more believable in the role....and he was awful...
See, I'm always doing something wrong...
Just not your petty view of what the character was.
Keaton was better as Wayne than Bale was. But then again Bale suffers from Nicholas Cage syndrome:
He alternates between dull as dishwater and manic.
This is an excellent reminder that Batman can be interpreted and presented in many different ways. Same as Joker, and the like.
Translation: you are forever enraged that the Nolan/Bale Batman films are considered among the very best superhero films ever made--far above that cartoon dreck you worship, so of course you would try to pump up the miscast Keaton over Bale (and his films).
Too easy.
Nah, not anymore. Just for their time, before folks realized they didn't have to be ashamed of comic books. And also back before folks realized the hero should be the star of the movie instead of the villains.
I'll take someone capable of human nuance over someone who can only alternate between stone-faced and nutbag.
Easily, considering they're not even the best Batman movies ever made.
And 40+ years on, Superman '78 remains the ne plus ultra of the entire genre, likely never to be surpassed.
I love the Nolan movies, but they're barely even superhero movies, there are just way to many aspects of the comics that they completely ignore.The Nolan Batman movies are the best superhero movies ever made. I don't see how it's debatable.And the worst parts of those movies were the comic book action stuff honestly.
