I was at my sister's graduation ceremony today at IU, and the inspirational speaker there for that day was Michael Uslan himself! I had no idea that he was an IU alumni before this. Anyways, for the people who don't know who Michael Uslan is, he was the first person ever to create a comic book course at a college in history. He thinks of them as Greek and Roman gods that still exist to this day, except they are in capes and tights. He was also talking about his experience with Stan Lee and all this stuff about how he worked at DC as well. He has written numerous Batman comics over the years. He always wanted to persue his dream, and his dream was to produce a Batman movie that gave him back his birthright. Meaning he wanted to show a darker, scarier version of Batman that Bob Kane wanted to have in the beggining, rather than the tongue-and-cheek version that was portrayed by Adam West. He went to every studio and heard the same thing over and over. "Michael you're insane. People don't want to see another Batman movie that's just a goof off..." etc. After ten years of persistence, he finally caught a break and produced the Batman movie he always wanted to do (Batman 89). Since then, he has produced many other films and also executive produced Batman Begins. His message was to never give up your dreams. You'll be rejected a lot. You're going to have doors slam in your face. The best thing to do, is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again at other doors until your knuckles bleed. He also said to follow your dream and to pick something that you absolutely love for a job. A job that you can wake up to on a rainy Monday morning and say, "Man, I can't wait until I get to work today!" Always follow your dream job and never let a few rejections stop you. Anyways, he threw in there, that Batman is obviously his favorite. He said that "Any comic book geek would tell you that Batman doesn't posses any real super powers. He can't crawl up walls like Spider-man or leap tall buildings in a single bound like Superman. What Batman does posses, though, is a commitment in a belief that 'one person can make a difference in the world.' That's his greatest super power." I thought he was an awesome inspirational speaker and was very interesting. BATMAN RULES!

lol. awesome thread. yea, 'fraid to say it, but the Bat is the best. one thing i like is that he's only peak human, and still doesnt rely on guns for example like the punisher, and yet, still remains to be the greatest comic character ever, and up there with the best, as far as fights go.

Uhhh... fighting skill he is one of the best but he would still lose in a one-on-one fight to most heroes... without prep and gadgets!

Blasphomer! He wouldn't lose to MOST, he'd lose to a lot though.

too bad most of the time, he DOES have prep n gadgets.

That's what I'm saying! But how many times out of 10 is he gonna beat Wonder Woman? Or Superman w/o Kryptonite? Or Goddam Green Lantern?

Well, he's beaten Superman with sonics. But this thread isn't about who can and can't beat Batman, it's to express exactly why Batman is the best of all time.

He just IS, man!

DAMN STRAIGHT!

Amen to that, Brother Batdude!

Well, Batman pwns everybody!

So, does anybody else have some questions, comments, thoughts, or in-puts?

Nah, just agreements!

Well Knightfall aka Syndicate Lord aka Dark Shazam aka HellMaster, NOBODY'S GONNA ARGUE THAT BATMAN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!! That's because he freakin IS!

And I', impressed you remember all my names... unless you checked my profile...

oh...

Indeed... nice new sig!

All I know is that Batman rules and that Batman Begins made me a believer once again. That is without-a-doubt the best comicbook film since Christopher Reeves first appeared as Superman. Batman Rules!!!!!!!!! And he can kick any other hero's @$$!

Here is a link to Batman tribute speech that I did in English class. http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=393964&highlight=batman+speech

Great speech, your reasons for liking batman are good as they are more than 'he is a good fighter and can beat people up'!

It was more centred around hobbies the why Batman is the best.

Batman just is the best..







































... except for Daredevil...

Come on people! Post some more!

What do you want us to say, we all agree that batman is the best!

I know, just some other input.

why does he need a reason to be the best? he automatically is...

Snore...

He is the best.

THATS CRAZY THOUGH. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT HIS GREATEST FT ISNT MAKING COMICS A COLLEGE COURSE BUT BRINGING BILL FINGER AND BOB KANE BATMAN TO LIFE. NOT TIM BURTON. HES NEVER READ A COMIC BOOK IN HIS LIFE!

Caps lock...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christian Bale and Val Kilmer were the only good Batman.

Val... kilmer...? And this thread isn't about the actors, Jigsaw!

YEAH!

Opinions, opinions...

Batman is the best, although my favorite remains Superman =P

One of my favorite Batman moments was from the JLA cartoon. Him and Wonder Woman are in his batplane heading to her island to save some other amazon woman. Wonder Woman is explaining to Batman the history of this woman, and how her parents were killed when she was really young.

Then she says something like "What do you think something like that would do to a person?", and the reflection on the windshield in front of Batman shows him suddenly have a remorseful look, as if he to were pondering what something like that does to a person, like in his case. Great scene.

-------

Another great JLA scene was when Batman was sent to go into some Wonderland looking place that's suddenly in Gotham, all created by some little girl as she's swinging on a swing set. He was sent there to destroy her since Project Cadmus knows she can be some huge threat if she wanted to be.

But of course Batman won't do something like that. So as he approaches her swinging on her swing, he simply sits on the swing next to her and has a quiet conversation with her. She knows he's there to try and stop her, and how she can completely prevent that anytime she wanted, but she realizes that people will always only to continue to see her as a threat. Batman takes comfort in seeing how somebody with such great power can realize this, and when she gives herself up he carefully carries her back to the police and makes sure she is given the best care. Awesome scene.

I like tim burtons batman too the joker is outstanding . Batman begins is very good too

Batman Begins was my favorite one.
