BestIKenster Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Who played the best Batman? I'd say Adam West. Val Kilmer/George Clooney the Worst! Christian Bale definitely worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Of the first wave of Bat flicks I'd pick Keaton. He's the best of the worst. Since the Batman tv show was a farce, then I can't even consider West. And since Bale was AWESOME... i guess he'd get the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timintey Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Necro, love the sig. That pick by Cromartie is one of the best I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Christian Bale, by far. Not only is his Batman great, his Bruce Wayne is the most interesting, by a thousand miles. Note: This belongs in the Video Vertigo section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman show...it was supposed to be a farce so Adam West actually did well for what it was meant to be True, but that was NOT Batman because of the farcicalness. Is that a word? And... in all honesty... did you ever watch the older cartoons? The guy who does the voice for Bats up till the present anime version is DEAD ON. I wonder what he looks like? If he'd have been a good choice. Just like Mark Hamill has been the ULTIMATE Joker, BAR NONE!!! There was a fan movie made and I think it's on youtube. I know that it got some time in Jack's movie forum. Use the search button to find it, or pm Jack. That movie was AMAZING. The guy that's in the suit is PERFECT.

What 'older' cartoons are you talking about? You mean the super old ones with Bat Mite? Or the ones from the 90s? Of course the show was an adaptation (just like EVERY other thing that isn't the Batman comic). But I'll say this, that Adam West Batman was a hell of a lot more entertaining then Schumacher's version. At least it knew what it was. Oh, Hammill's voice was PERFECT for the Joker Edited January 13, 2008 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the voice for Batman on Batman, the animated series, vol. 1 and 2, Batman Beyond, and the first Justice League of America series as well. The new manga Batman is too kiddy, so I don't watch it. And whoever does the voice sucks. Oh... i would watch the Adam West Batman over any of Joel's BASTARDIZATIONS any day. Saddest part of those, was they COULD'VE been good. I mean... when has Kilmer ever made a bad flick? Never... except for Joel Schumacher's Batman.

And yah I like Kilmer but he just picked a bad movie there. Dammit, nothing to argue you with here.

ES-335 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 as a vintage ES-335, I would have to vote for Adam West. BTW, the first movie I went to alone was the first Batman movie with Keaton in the late 80s. Unfortunately, it was a sign of times to come.
