Keaton was good but Bale is better , he looks more like what Batman in the comics is . Keaton needed rubber muscles Bale doesn't

Agreed.  And unlike others that have tried their hand in the role, when Bale puts on the suit, there is a distinct differentiation between Batman and Bruce Wayne.  Clooney and Kilmer (who were horrible) for example, just played the role like Bruce Wayne wearing the suit, rather than embracing Batman as its own character.

Adam West was given the role of Batman because of his recognized skill in deadpan humor. (delivering comedy in a totally serious manner)

Incredible Aryan genetics!

PS - Michael Keaton was 5'10, in my view this is an excellent height for Batman.  ;D

I would actully say that Kilmer was a better choice then all of them...sadly the movie he was in, had a weak script, and an even weaker director in Schumaker...

Bale often carries himself like a whiny bitch...Kilmer was probably the best overall choice out of the ones so far...

M!

Kevin Conroy has portrayed the best incarnation of Batman.

Add another vote for Keaton.

Post by: kiwiol on August 23, 2009, 08:33:14 PM
Bale. Physically, he is a lot more believable and is just as good an actor as Michael Keaton, although he played a better Batman than Keaton did. He also has a much better presence than Keaton, who just blends in with the crowd.

It's like the Joker - Jack Nicholson did a great job, but Heath did a better one.

Uhh, probably, that's BECAUSE he is portraying a young Batman, as in BATMAN BEGINS!

almost like the cartoon, The Batman, where it shows the Batman as he first starts out. and Batman Beyond, shows the Batman as older man, showing a younger Batman the ropes

Bale is goofy with his Dirty Harry Batman voice, but in Christopher Nolan's hands the franchise
is f'n gold.

Keaton plays the part of Bruce Wayne well, cause he's a good actor. But physically, he's less impressive than the guy who places 37th in a PDI contest. Which is why I can never see him as Batman - guy looks like he'd barely crank out 4 reps with 135 lb on the bench ;D

As wooden as Bale can get at times, he still pulls off some stuff very well and looks and plays a much better Batman (and Bruce Wayne), IMO.

Bale is my favorite but Michael Keaton was awesome too especially in 1989 Batman. I will say 1989 Batmobile and Jet were my favorite. Val Kilmer is a great actor but Joel Scuhmacher was a bad director who brought in all the neon and nipple suits. The only thing Schumacher did right was Kilmer and mega hot at the time Nicole Kidman.
Title: Re: who was the best Batman?
Post by: hench on August 24, 2009, 03:36:03 PM
spot on.
Keaton abandoned the franchise because of creative differences with the director, he wanted to stay dark but scuhmacher wanted to cartoony, bad move! Keaton left at the right time

I heard they offered Keaton over 20mil for "Forever" but he still wouldn't do it. Thats holding on to your dignity right there. I would have sold out haha ;D

Keaton had great eyes in the suit and pulled off the coldness and style of Batman well. His Bruce was awkward in I'm-rich-and-have-people-do-things-for-me way. Funny.

Kilmer had a great voice, but his body was looking terrible in the topless shot.

Clooney is a cool guy, but his Batman had too much weird homoerotic stuff going on to sell me on it.

Bale is the kind of actor that does such outlandish roles that it's hard to judge him. His Batman is okay, but doesn't do anything positively or negatively for me. He doesn't bring anything new to the role.

In the end, it's a combo of director, writer, and actor that makes the Batman character great. Burton/Hamm/Keaton FTW.

Keaton was the main character the whole movie despite of Nicholson being the charismatic Joker , however, we know that wasnt the case with Bale and heath ledger .
