micheal keaton played a good batman/bruce wayne, val kilmer played a great bruce wayne and an alright batman....and from what i've seen i think christian bale looks like he'd do a good job with both
i dont think keaton should've been put up there twice
in dead end, Joker is played by Boner from growing pains 😆
i think Bartram in Dead End looks too bulky to play Bats ....old too....he had the skin of like a 40 year old.
And the marital arts skills of my grandmother...
Keaton looked stunning as Bats. Formidable, angry, voice that can cut glass. As Wayne, not so much.
Kilmer was a good Wayne & Bats (I think he tried to emulate Keaton in the suit--angry face, raspy voice, etc)

Unfortunately? I think it is great that someone besides me and Mr Parker think he did the best job. He remains my favorite-barring seeing Christian Bal next year, of course-live action Batman of all time. Seeing the movie in theaters helped cement him in my mind.
Yeah I think its great to see someone else on here who isnt afraid to go against the crowd and say that Kilmer was the best batman.Dont say unfortunately,thats great to see that you have enough courage to say that Kilmer was the best Batman.

Do you like any movies that were comics?
Sure I do.Just unlike most people,I am able to see that the popular ones are the really awful ones.Its usually the movies that arent big money makers that are the good comicbook films.I have always said Val Kilmer was a much better Bruce wayne/batman than keaton ever was.I liked Batman Forever much better than the first two and its the only one I think is halfway decent of the 4.If not for Chris O'donnel,whos acting was horrible in that film and was way too old for the role of Robin,I would have loved BATMAN FOREVER.Comicbook films that I think are great films are SUPERMAN 1 & 2,CONAN THE BARBARIAN,DICK TRACY,and DAREDEVIL.Those are good comicbook films that hollywood did majorly screw up on.
i think the reason they went a bit older on robin age-wise was because they kinda wanted to stay away from any idea that...er.....someone had a thing for kids, if ya know what i mean. 😖 i thot he was pretty good. i didn't think it *had*to conform with the original idea in the comics where robin was a pre-teen or teenager. they departed from the comics in a number of ways in each of the movies.
----shhh, i'm considering re-watching b3 tonight as my friday night ritual! 👀
