exactly. very well said. 👆 thats why he was one of the worst casting choices in comicbook history.

1. While it is your opinion, I believe that you are not giving Keaton enough credit...
2. Pudgy face? How is it that it is only you, bakerboy, and Mr. Parker that are effected by his "pudginess"? He looked fine, you guys are just fanboys that pay attention to every little detail, and that need everything to be perfect, or you call it heresy and flame it to Hell.
(Note: I'm a true Batman fan, I have been since I was 3. I know a movie based on Batman is supposed to be true to the source material, but it is allowed to make its own way. I mean, a direct-to-screen adaption of a comic would be boring and the director would really not be doing anything new. Well, Burton and Keaton did)
3. Loner Bruce? Since when has Bruce not been a loner? Besides Alfred, Bruce really didn't have anyone during his first few years as Batman, and he was pretty much alone when he trained, so he really is a loner...
4. The whole Batwing being shot down by a handgun thing... That "handgun" was pretty big, and it probably shot out a good sized bullet, which probably pierced a vital part of the Batwing's engine, which ultimately caused it to crash land.
5. Again, it is your opinion, but I do believe Kilmer was not as good as Keaton. Sure, Kilmer looked the part, but his acting was stale and it kind of sounded like he was in monotone for a lot of the scenes (not including the "What the hell do you think you were doing" scene)
6. Yes Bale is fantastic as both... with Keaton as a second... 🙂
I'm done ranting for now... Thanks for reading!

Dude,bat DUDE,surely your joking about me bakerboy and nixson being the only bat fans effected by his pudginess? 🙄 that statement is more far off and innaccurate than ANYTHING you have ever said.I can pull up dozens of threads here in the batman section of people that have come on here in the past 3 years or so and had the same agreements as us.thousands of batman fans over the last 20 years have expressed their anger on message boards countless of times over the years on the horrible miscasting choice of keaton as batman because he had the wrong physical build. 🙄 with good reason also.cause Burton deliberately pissed on them and did not care about making the best casting choice possible back then.Thank god for Nolan,he's a fans director.
It's curious DarkLord considering I hadn't seen Batman 1989 since I was 5 and I actually went back and watched it after Begins and that's when I came to the conclusion which I preferred. Bale was great but he's not my favorite Batman or Bruce and I doubt he ever will be but I'll wait till he finishes his run to say for sure.
