Unfortunately Christian Bale (whoever that is) has been cast for the next Batman. Text

I think it's looking damn good. Except for the car. But he was in American Psycho.

This is obviously not the comment of a batman fan. Learn a bit about it, and maybe you won't vote on this with that thing between your legs.

It can't tell a good batman from a bad one. I know no more than that.

Keaton is just a better tough-guy in general. Kilmer just doesn't have the charisma and Clooney is, well....he's too laid back because of the other roles he's played.

Keaton was great, Kilmer was channeling Keaton's performance, and Clooney was just lost in a really, really bad movie.

Keaton of course. The original contemporary Batman (1989) was and STILL IS my favorite movie of all time due in part to the performances by Keaton and Nicholson. I really think that Nicholson stole the show, but Keaton IS Batman.

Keaton.

Out of the three, Keaton seems like he would be the worst Batman but actually turned out to be the best.
I like the idea of Clooney as Batman but that his movie was one of the worst movies of all time.

Hmmm... hordes of Keaton fans. I always liked Kilmer the best. Keaton just seems like too much of a wimp for the role. I think people tend to have a bias for the "first" character that played the role (note: I'm talking about the modern movies... no disrespect to West).

Kilmer doesn't have a serious bone in his body (IMHO). Keaton just had that whole "dark" thing going on. It also doesn't help that Kilmer was directed by that assmunch Schumacher who felt that Gotham should be full of fruity colors.

This shouldn't even be a question. Keaton, by a long shot. Joel Schumacher made an absolute trainwreck out of the Batman franchise, but I'm definitely hopeful for Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan directing. :thumbsup:

They all have their pros and cons. None of them are the "perfect" batman. Keaton's dark side just didn't show through enough for me. But I still voted for him. I think Christian Bale will be a good fit.

Back in his prime, marlon brando would have been a great batman.

I was just going through random play on my MP3 playlist and I just found the only good thing about Batman Forever:

"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 :D...oh, and Nicole Kidman :p
