Still the best Batman.
FuzzyMedic
Hishe batman is best. Because he's batman!
languex
He's Batman!
FatBastardVegetarian
Best Batman.
certainlynotaserialkiller
commentsonlytruethings
That's Michael Keaton
FNOldGuys
I really liked the new Batman. He finally did some detective stuff instead of only being Rambo in a cowl
W0lfsbl00d
Bale did plenty of detective work over BB and TDK, just not a Riddler hunt. He was after Joker really well but Joker was 5 steps ahead.

Kevin Conway is my Batman

MRW I realize its the third Tuesday of the month at 3:30am and my neighbor's sprinklers just came on.

Best Batman movie, also because of the best soundtrack.
MaMIL
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(album) as in this on. Of course.
BishopHastur
Funny way to spell Adam West.

I’ll never hate on Michael Keaton Batman, but I really LOVED the new one! It’s awesome! :)

Best Bruce Wayne? Christian Bale. Best Batman costume? Batfleck.
ChefHannibal
as horrendous as it was was, Clooney was a great Wayne. Affleck totally wins best costume.
AutomaticSlims
Good point with Clooney

Best batman. Michelle Pfeiffer is best catwoman and devito is best penguin.
DarthBrooks64
DeVito's Penguin was a nasty mess and unlike any version in the comics. The BEST Penguin was Burgess Meredith.
Hashbrown123
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GuidzJ0iyVs That chemistry.
sleix
Devito tried, but his tragedy was too hammy. I sincerely want to see Colin Farrell's interpretation to see how well he did.
ChefHannibal
DeVito's penguin was a caricature. Farrell is way better in The Batman
TheUseriestName
I fucking loved the new Batman movie. It was dark and campy and great. Had a vague Watchmen vibe. Loved that Batman was a fucking weirdo
EgglyBagelface
Would also make a great joker. See Beetlejuice for inspiration
rosekiss4
wish i could update this more!!!!!
DirtRockets
There has been more time between the debut of Pattinson's Batman and Bale's (17 years) than there was between Bale's and Keaton's (16 years)
DirtRockets
HAVE FUN WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE.
attackingOtter1
New Batman is three fucking hours! About 30 minutes too long. At least we get a hint of the new Joker. The Riddler is spooky.
Attaroo
Fantastic actor, but I just had a problem with a guy that I could snap like a twig playing the part.
theheatman
Leonardo1975
Greatest. Joker. Ever.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Keaton's a fine actor (great in comic roles, but the menace in Homecoming was fantastic), but he didn't quite work as Bats for me.
RancidFlakes
I was impressed with how this graphic was emulated in Batman Returns for SNES at the time !!

Ummm, Adam West.
OmniscientZiltoid
He didn't need a molded plastic suit to improve his physique. Pure West. And how come Batman doesn't dance anymore. Remember the Bat-tussi?

That was a great shot.
SometimesIUseAllOfMyCharactersAtOnceAndDontCareAboutTheConsequ
I recently saw that he was the shortest of all Batmans (except Lego Batman) so good shot to make him look taller too.
NoCapes
“Commisioner, why are we firing the bat signal directly into Wayne Manor?”

rangermcfadden
Pump the brakes there, buddy, all Batmen are competing for 2nd place after Kevin Conroy
copingcabana
When I bought my (Dodge) pickup, a friend asked me what Chevy and Ford owners are always talking trash. I said they're just competing. So+
copingcabana
he asked "Competing for what?!?" And I said, "second place." ;)
Gestalt7
This!
dogmoind
Preach, brother.
CarlottaVonSprockett
MutantTurd
What I want most is for Kevin Conroy to dub over all of Christian Bale's lines from the Nolan movies and see just how much better it is.
rangermcfadden
Hell YES now we’re talking. I think Christian Bale did just fine, but how much cooler would it be with Kevin Conroy??
jimmythehat1
If it weren’t for closed captions I wouldn’t be able to understand Batman’s dialog in the third movie. It’s terrible. Not to mention Bane
jimmythehat1
Being completely ADR’d but somehow they didn’t try to make his voice directional so it’s just coming from every direction.
ThePakistallion
Bale took over. Keaton was great but Bale was next level.
ChefHannibal
Bale was carried by the villains and was no better than Kilmer and Clooney
ThePakistallion
I want to agree… sincerely… but you are heavily discounting his ability to share the spotlight. Also this was a huge part of the series 1/3
ThePakistallion
To really give equal weight to the villains. You wouldn’t care if you didn’t care about bale. To your note about Kilmer and Clooney, you 2/3
ThePakistallion
May not love bale, but there is no way he’s on their level. Not even close. Almost 1/2 of the first film was his arc, just him. Not Batman.
ThePakistallion
Just my thoughts. You are entitled to yours. No hate.
stupidfools
Now THAT is a great username
ThePakistallion
Ha! Thanks man!!! That is one of the two reactions I get to it… you can guess the other one!
youreathing
I just can't get over how unlikable Bale is though.
ThePakistallion
In the role as Bruce Wayne? I thought that was the point no? Be a rich asshole that you don’t like as a front to being Batman.
ThePakistallion
I also didn’t mind. In the first one he was pretty relatable showing his arc while being exiled and training with the League of shadows.
youreathing
Oh sorry, I just meant as a person (off camera).
ThePakistallion
Right. It’s always a dilemma as to how to separate the artist from the art.
anotan
Both Batman movies with Michael Keaton had that Tim Burton feel to them, they will always be the best Batman movies.
W0lfsbl00d
I grew up on and adore Burtons movies but the only Batman movie so far that will go into the pantheon of legendary cinema is The Dark Knight
KnightWhoSaidNi
Yeah. Kinda like Star Wars had that Georg Lucas feel, if you know what mean
mcglirkymeow
ExistentialDreadlocks
That classic Tim Burton feel, before he became a one trick pony.
NirvanaNik
Cause Tim Burton was the director for both of those movies. 1989 and 1992.
FourFiveFire
You might be onto something here
psugab
Srbic
I respect your opinion even it is wrong
i2ocker89
Naaa they just have nostalgia. The most powerful part of it. Otherwise they are campy also. I enjoy them but they are not realistic at all.
hovelhopper
I like my comic book movies spiced with camp.
i2ocker89
So is Forever and BandR TOO campy? Where do you draw the line on amount of cheddar lol
Badprenup
Somewhere between the ones they liked and the ones they didn't I suppose
thedudeman519
I like the theory that those are movies about batman in the Tim Burton universe.
westPAguy
I would like to see a live action Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton as the old batman
SillyZombie
They are literally filming this right now, its callewd "batgirl" and comes out next year
SpiceSlag
I really want to see a live action Blight. He's such an awesome villain!
hatforlife20
YASSSSS
PooPculture
Yes!
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
I always upvote batman beyond.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
Yes.
DingusMajoris
I hold the unpopular opinion that, instead of that godawful Batwoman show, WB could have gender swapped Terry Mcginnis (Terri Mcginnis?)
DingusMajoris
and made a much better show with much stronger foundations. That would mean abandoning the current show's toxic and fake "girl power" motif
DingusMajoris
for a character who actually has to grow and learn how to become something greater than they are, but it could be done!
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
No thank you, I'd prefer Batman Beyond stay away from the CW. You say abandoning the current show's toxic foundations, but almost all of...
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
...the CW shows share the same faux-progressive ideology and terrible writing. The Batwoman show is not an aberration.
PineappleLoopsBroether
I was down for female Batman, she seemed cool………. But that wig ruined it.
gtotherizzle
I'd prefer to see a "Kingdom Come" movie.
gtotherizzle
Scratch that...they'd ruin it. Forget I pondered that
ReverseTrapTsukasa
Will Friedle is getting too old to play Terry. Better let him play the father.
ventiseii
Batgirl is currently filming. Keaton plays...an old Batman. JK Simmons as Gordon. Brendan Fraser as the villain Firefly.
i2ocker89
What jk Simmons he was Gordon in Snyder cut. That universe is mixing with Keaton's?
ventiseii
Flash is also filming with Keaton and Affleck as Batman in a multiverse storyline. Expect fluidity
Varimothras
Fraser should have been Booster Gold, change my mind
smegheadenergy
Paul Rudd as Beetle?
4vie
Which Blue Beetle?
Burke616
If you're talking about a Blue Beetle in conjunction with Booster Gold, it's almost always gonna be Ted.
smegheadenergy
Ted Kord
ventiseii
Hopefully for continuity purposes, portions of the film are being filmed in the same city as the recent "The Batman" film.
sporklesteve
It is. Batgirl is currently filming in Glasgow where some of The Batman was filmed.
ventiseii
The hopefully was that they did it for continuity purposes. Not just because they like to wake up folks in the west end filming explosions
wlfman
Seems DC has essentially given up on a shared universe. Absolutely no momentum from any single movie. So I wouldn't expect any continuity.
ventiseii
As long as they keep filming in Glasgow. I walk past the graveyard used in The Batman daily.
wlfman
Could be. I haven't watched Batman yet, but I'll keep an eye out lol
yifin
It's not
sporklesteve
It is. Batgirl is currently filming in Glasgow where some scenes in The Batman were filmed.
yifin
That's not shared universe, that's shared sets.
memeseeks
Who would play Terry?
PooPculture
Terry Crews of course
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Tom Holland. he's in everything now.
cellocalypse
You're not wrong, but please dont jinx us
memeseeks
I was thinking the same but he's all in at Marvel.
smegheadenergy
Even my mom
TheDungineer
It should have been Robert Pattinson
memeseeks
Yeah. I agree. When they first announced the new movie I thought that's what it was going to be.
kramorp
Well, you likely will get to see him as Thomas Wayne (Old Batman) in the Flash movie, so there's that.
ventiseii
Flash movie has both Affleck and Keaton on the cast sheet last I looked. Hurrah for multiverses
Hashbrown123
As far as I know Jeffery Dean Morgan is going for that role.
thedudeman519
He played Thomas Wayne in Justice League , no?
Hashbrown123
Yeah.
kramorp
D'oh! Didn't realize that. I would love it if MK gives Barry the advice to never rub another man's rhubarb...
gtotherizzle
It's because he was the best Bruce Wayne/Batman combination. Also, he's shown trying to solve crimes with more than violence
SadToSay
My thoughts exactly.
gablestout
I liked Val Kilmer's Batman the best, but Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne is tops. If I had to pick one though, it's definitely Michael Keaton
wisher1977
He only killed you if you tried to kill him. Bomb guy got bomb to the balls, gun guy got flaming after-burn and joker got building fall
gtotherizzle
And that Ninja dude (in '87) got that weird gauntlet shield thing. Does anyone know wtf that thing was?
wisher1977
Idk but it reminds me of the time Superman used his special Saran Wrap power on his enemies. It was more of a minor inconvenience.
alijamZz
I loved him bc he had Spider-Mans wit but hes Batman. Make a movie utilizing Iron Man type of suit mechanics set in the future and im sold.
NeverLateThanBetter
Boy do I have a show for you! "Batman Beyond"
alijamZz
I definitely replied to the wrong thread. I was talking about liking Terry for this reason LOL!
updootyourpootsnoot
he's the mature batman, his angst doesn't rule him anymore - just helps
armagetz
That’s an element people are overlooking in this Batman. He’s just getting started, with massive amounts of childhood trauma. Of course (1)
armagetz
(2)he’s going to be a moody, socially awkward individual. He hasn’t built up his Bruce Wayne persona yet.
updootyourpootsnoot
yeah...my buddy said the new one should be called Batman: Dude really needs to go to Therapy - and he's not wrong
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Then came Val Kilmer...
gtotherizzle
Great Bruce Wayne....
mezzz
Then came George Clooney....
PimpinKen
Ben Affleck was a joke.
kaymon
Bat nipples
gtotherizzle
A pretty good Bruce Wayne
RealDMurda
Check out The Batman. I think you’ll appreciate the detective element of it.
gtotherizzle
Going to see it this week. Meant to go yesterday but a busy ass weekend drained my energy
RealDMurda
Definitely worth checking out when you’ve got the mental fortitude.
THISISYELLING
I was happy because they did what I’ve always wanted: the put Batman in “M”. His emotionally damaged Bruce Wayne was a nice touch too.
SadToSay
Some aspects I liked a lot. His Bruce Wayne was very lacking imo. Also the movie needed to be edited down.
DagothWit
I liked it, but 3 hours is way too long for that type of film.
MrSomeonesHero
Bruce was very lacking but I thought the length was fine but I feel like it would’ve been even better as a R rated film with better horror
7heBored
Batman in general would lend itself to a darker horror setting and plot.
RealDMurda
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Bruce Wayne was lacking by design, to show he is currently all encompassed by the bat alter ego, as the city falls to Arkham insanity.
W0lfsbl00d
He is the Bat. Wayne is the alter ego.
HowLongHaveYouBeenThereWhatDidYouSee
It's the lack of "Bruce Wayne" that likely allowed a large plot element to exist.
MrSomeonesHero
My only problem with this is he’s supposed to have a great relationship with Alfred and he seemed to mutter maybe 4 words to him Emo AF
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Also he roasted people with his car exhaust. Truly an accurate interpretation of batman's famous characterisation.
smitmp02
Yeah Batman straight up kills some people in the second movie.
W0lfsbl00d
It's ok for Keaton Batman because it's colorful, fun and more cohesive story. A broken Batfleck does it and nope, now unacceptable heresy!
Nippledeepinahorse
He blew up an entire chemical factory full of Joker's goons in the first one...
wubbalubbadubdubtangclan
They only got minor chemical burns from this and returned to work the following monday
gtotherizzle
Yes, but he tried
CelticScribe
He also tossed a dude down a bell tower in the first one.
smitmp02
Oh shit you right
Nippledeepinahorse
Also in Superman 2 Supes outright murders Zod, Non falls to his death through stupidity, then Lois kills Ursa. No killing is a recent thing.
