Pick your favorite Batman!

Well, besides that guy from the OnStar commercials.

Lowery and Wilson only get one entry since no one remembers them. Razz

You know, I´m really not sure. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them with the movies they were in. Clooney just worked for the goofy version of Batman that the movie portrayed the character in. The latest one worked because it was more realistic, and he was good.

I´m really not sure! Damn you and your tough decisions!

On a sidenote, Taeliac/Sam and I couldn´t stop MST3K´ing the movie with comments like "hey, with this cave, I could tap it for one blue or one black mana", or "love means never having to say you´re sorry...for the collateral damage".

Stop it you. Nothing can detract from my enjoyment of that film!!

Except maybe the fear that they will screw up the inevitable sequal.

Now if experience has taught me anything, the first sequel will be fine, the third movie will be mediocre, and the fourth one will suck so much that no one will want to make any kind of superhero film for a few years or so. Razz

One question for people, does anyone see this as a prequel to the first Burton movie or as a new Batman movie continuity?

I don´t see how it couldn´t be a prequel to the burton one. Especially with the ending of the new one.

It is a completely new continuity.

As Joe Chill is the killer of Bruce Wayne´s parents, and not Jack Napier, I would have to say there is NO WAY this could possibly be the same continuity as the Burton films.

According to a friend of mine, her sister kept complaining on the fact that the films didn´t link into eachother.

She asked me if this bugged (because I was a Film Student) me... to which my answer was a very self-assured ´non.´

It´s funny what people will and won´t complain about.

I had that problem with the 1989 movie.

I was 8, go figure.

I didn´t have that problem. The only problem I had was that Batman Returns lifted half of it´s plot from the late 60´s series. (Penguin running for Mayor).

I had, in fact, just watched that episode earlier in the same day that I had gone out to the theaters to see Batman Returns...

I once had to put with someone complaining about the fact that the Enterprise in ´Enterprise´ was too technologically advanced for that point in Star Trek continuity and looked more like something from ´Voyager´ than before the days of Kirk...Oh how that kind of thing annoys me...pointless continuity nitpickying.

Enterprise DID try to look lower tech than the Original Series also -- that´s why there are switches and toggles and all that instead of touch screens...

Actually, it was in terms of ship designs. The Enterprise (or so he claimed) looked like the ships from Voyager and less like the ships from Original Trek.

You could tell it was lower tech than ST:OS. They had less blinking lights!

The ship design, as the different series progressed, really got away from the saucer and stick thing. Look at DS9, fer example. VOY could excuse it self as 99%+ of the ships were alien, but I think that the movies and DS9 really got away from the OS ship feel.

Then again, there really isn´t anythng too sound about sticking an ungainly round thing atop a thin shaft and attaching a pair of thrusters to it.

I mean, it just seems to scream "Weak Spot Here!"

See, Bale is a good choice. I personally loved watching reruns of the 60s show when I was a kid, so I had to vote for West.

Heck, I understand voting for every single person on that list -- except for Clooney.

You know, there really should have been a George Lanzenby option.

George Lazenby did play a villain in the Batman Beyond cartoon, as well as Jor-El in the Superboy live action TV series.

But no Toph, the least famous Bond did not play the Batman.
