Anybody else feel me when I say The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie by far. However, I still think Michael Keaton's costume and his appearance looked the best. Besides, Keaton's bat mobile was so much more pimp.

Christian Bale


Michael Keaton

I believe they will create a new "bat-mobile" in the next movie (if there is one), considering the "tumbler" was blown to smithereeeeenz! So I don't think you can compare, since the tumbler was just the begining.

Two things. In the scene where Harvey Dent is eating dinnerwith his lady before bruce shows up I am pretty sure that Heath Ledger is eating sirectly to the right of them but you can't see more than 1/3rd of his face.

Next movie should have the punisher as an expansion on the fake batmen vigilantes and the city taking a stand against criminals.

I really liked the first one....but the Dark Knight wasn't as good. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

And Joel Schumacker's versions were? How soon we forget this atrocity:


I'm sorry, I think that Chris Nolan's versions are far closer to the originals than any others. Tim Burton's were pretty close, however. Anything after Batman Returns up to the Nolan films should be thrown away, burned, and exorcised.

And it just goes to show you that star power doesn't always mean anything.

Frankly, I thought Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne was pretty good. He was intellectual, reserved, and professional. And he didn't look too bad, either.

However, they totally got George Clooney for the sex appeal. Rawr.

Did you guys know they wanted Kristin Chenoweth (of Wicked fame) to be Batgirl? If you know anything about her, you'd know it would've been a horrid choice.

I understand where you are coming from but they can't make the movies just like the comics. The movies need to appeal to a broader group than those who just read the comics, that way the movie will make its money and be more popular. I do feel though that this past 2 movies are very similar to the comics and yet still appeal to the majority of people who are interested in these type of movies.

Yeah, and THANK GOD for that! I mean, I guess they could have just kept on making god awful batman flicks like the Kilmer and Clooney ones. But thanks to Christopher Nolan we'll never have to sit through another jim carrey riddler moment, nor an Arnie Mr. Freeze moment, what a relief

Ur 100% right......aiming at broader group = POP CRAP ....

However, they did keep a hint of comic-ness in the movie.
