When Michael Keaton said "I'm Batman," god-damnit, I believed it!

    Michael Keaton was better than Bale. But Bale is still good.

    It's tough, but Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors, and he's THE Batman.
    And he does all his own fight-scenes! XD
    Also, I like how the storyline is playing out in the latest Batman movies...

    He played the rich gigolo better and his angst was more believable.

    His portrayal is a LOT more realistic. A lot grittier and dirtier. More adult-like. Michael Keaton was great as Batman, but awful as Bruce Wayne. Christian Bale NAILS both aspects of the character in the real world.

    Wait till you see the Dark Knight, and Bale's piss poor attempt at "Batman voice." Sounds like he needs a wait dark knight bales piss poor attempt batman voice sounds

    I like his "piss poor" Batman voice. It makes a lot more sense to me than Michael Keaton talking in his regular Bruce Wayne voice the whole time.

    It would seem to me that it'd be easy enough to figure out who Batman was... without being able to HEAR HIS VOICE.

    And you think Adam West was a good Batman?

    Don't get me wrong, I love Adam West... I think he's one of the funniest human beings alive. Like, unintentional comedy gold. Sorta like William Shatner singing Rocketman.

    Though I do like Michael Keaton in the role also. The movie styles are just so different. I finally watched Batman Begins and really enjoyed it - though much darker than the Keaton movies.
