How can you dis on the first Batman? WTF? Jack made the perfect Joker and Keaton was the perfect excentric Bruce Wayne PLUS he had the best Batman voice of anyone to ever play him (probably my least fav part of Begins, next to frantic, choppy action sequences heh). Maybe it seems a little hokey today because of how old it is (art gallery scene FT?WTF?)... but come on. Give credit where credit is due. Not to mention Tim Burtons Gotham was the perfect setting.
Amuzingly, I saw it in the theatre when I was 7... I remember telling my father my favorite part was when Batman was up in his jet and the Joker goes "Come on you sick son of a bitch." He thought it was hilarious and told me never to repeat those words in front of my mother. 😛
Christian Bale's Batman voice bugged me too. I could never put my finger on it but there was something about his portayal of batman that just bugged me. It almost seemed too "forced" if that makes any sense. I liked the movie but I still think Keaton made a better batman.
I agree, Keaton was the perfect Batman. Bale was the better Bruce Wayne though and Begins was a much better Batman movie.
