Do y'all think Christian Bale surpassed Michael Keaton as Batman?

Keaton's my standard. I never liked Bale's portrayal. Ledger really saved that nikka on TDK. Imagine if it was Leto's Joker in Dark Knight... we'd never talk about the Nolan series.

No because of that horrendous voice Bale does as Batman
To be fair, that was ramped up in Post...but yes that kinda holds him back. I prefer bale to keatonoverall, but the movies were also better to me. Bb/tdk>>batman/returns

Really wish we had an idea where the third would have gone if heath didnt die.

Keaton attempted to show the mental illness/righteous anger aspect which was cool

But if Bale was able to develop the character from Begins onwards instead of being sidelined for the villains then he'd be the undisputable. The discipline Bales Batman showed if it was combined with more personality and examination of what drives him it woulda been goat
