I haven't got the comics or whatever to compare how close they got to Batman, so can only say who I liked best as Batman, and it will always be Michael Keaton.
Bale's batman was pwned by Ledger's joker. Batman felt inferior throughout the movie and his stupid "batvoice" ruined what little that was left. his portrayal of Bruce Wayne in begins was good but in dark knight he was boring and dull. you never got to feel his trauma or his obsssion in the movie.
Bale is the best batman but only in Begins. he ruined it in DK.
I completly disagree. I think Bales performance was very good in TDK, and considering that the movie at heart is about him, his role is the most relevant.
everyone's entitled to an opinion. i'm no "movie critic" so i dont go around being pretending to be objective. to me he felt pale in comparison to Joker throughout the movie. Bruce Wayne was boring in this one (but like Jinxed pointed out it was probably more the director's fault than Bale's) and we never got to see his struggle in the way we got to see it in Batman Begins. the element of internalized fear, intimidation and tragedy are big parts of Batman/Bruce (at least DC likes to have us think so anyway) and those Batman and Bruce lacked for the entire movie. even Rachel's death didn't traumatize him as one would hope.
I agree with what you said. I go with Michael Keaton. Even though he did not have the height and physical stature of Batman his portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman was the best. Bale version never proved to be a dark knight. Keaton version would kill while Bale wouldn’t. Side note I believe the Joker was so good in dark night because the script made Batman so much of a goof.
