Batfleck got the juice now... Especially after Suicide Squad drops.

Batfleck is like the fukking boogeyman while Keaton and Bale didn't really frighten criminals.

Right now, my list is:

Affleck
Tie between Bale and Keaton
Kilmer

Everyone else
Cant tie Bale and Keaton. Keaton was WAY better. reason for it. is cause while Bale was a really good Bruce(since hes good at playing yuppie's anyway). he wasn't a really great Batman outside of Batman Begins. Keaton nailed both Bruce and Batman and that's why he's widely accepted as the best overall Batman.

Gonna go ahead and definitely disagree

What was the difference between Bruce Wayne and Batman in that movie lol, there is none.

Keaton is a superior actor for one, his mannerisms alone make him better. Ben is George Clooney status without the Zack Synder special effects lets be serious. He's swagless, his batman is like his scene in boiler room where he tries to be Alec Bladwin from glengary, just comes across corny.

Both Bale and Affleck lacked charisma with women as Bruce. You fakkits in here talking about his looks.

Keaton pulled off the rich billionaire better than both. Bale was more like a spoil child who was emo and cried when he didn't get his way. Ben Affleck was basically himself, so if Bruce Wayne was a guy from boston who liked drinking guiness beers he would've nailed, but that's not the case

In the 89 Batman, Wayne Manor and the Batcave are characters along with Bruce. The scene at Wayne Manor is more grand and vastly superior than the party in Batman Begins.

Also Keaton as Bruce, shows the rich man smug arrogance he uses as a cover.



Bale's Batman pretended to be a playboy and was really a simp lol. Affleck's Batman couldn't even get to first base with Wonder Woman and the only time we see him with a woman is in a brief scene that has nothing to do with anything, and looked like he paid for an escort lol.

Keaton's Bruce literally invites Vicki Vale over to Wayne Manor, gets this bytch drunk, fukks her, and has Alfred send her on her way.



Now look how he interacts with her as Batman. Cold and direct. nikka talking about chemicals and shyt, he did detective work in the beginning, even used the batcomputer just like the animated series which is based on this film.





Now Batman returns was trash, because Tim Burton went wild and turned the shyt into some twisted ass vision of his.

you know why? because prior to him all you had was adam west as comparison. and, don't get me wrong, i love adam west batman, it's corny funny. but other than getting a good laugh it's pointless. keaton batman is still relevant simply off the strength of that in my book :francis:

Keaton captured the essence of batman nh fam had the juice

Kilmer was the best bruce
can't agrue with this, unpopular opinion but I feel Affleck did enough not to stink the joint but I wouldn't say he crushed buildings. I think judgement should be reserved until his solo movie. Being the welcome distraction from the mess that was the characterisation of superman and lex isn't the proper way to gauge his batman/bruce

Stfu with this essay bytch nikka. I disagreed with your bullshyt and even gave Keaton props but not gonna read this fakkit ass post for a nikka who is irrelevant outside of these movies.

Talking about how great an actor is like Ben and Bale haven't been in any GREAT movies. Foh

Because while he didn't look like Bruce Wayne... he fit the psychological aspect of Bruce perfectly. He's damn near psychoctic in his obsession with stopping crime and Keaton captures that perfectly.

Bale's best peformance of Bruce Wayne/Batman is in the 3rd flick where he gets to showcase more of a human side to the character... I havn't seen the Affleck version yet so I can't judge it..

I agree with most of this. Especially the bale pretending to be a playboy and was all along a simp :dead:

And also that Batman Returns was pure garbage.

Keatons batman seemed paychotic, flawed. Bale had everything under control until rachel died and turned simp. Keaton was getting a new hoe every movie. Well see how affleck does in his batman movie but until then mike keaton is still the goat

IMO Keaton was the best Batman, based off presence alone. Keaton looks bat-shyt crazy in that suit, all in the eyes. In his mannerisms, the way he carried himself, moved about, all of which are intimidating. I like the interpretation that he's so mysterious he moves around and about without even being too noticed (party scene at Wayne Manor). He is mingling but not the center of attraction, still watching everything, but it's really only Knox & Vicki Vale that don't know who he is. He's social, but socially awkward, but still the most comfortable in one-on-one or in the suit. That's perfect. In fact, Batffleck & Conroy BTAS both incorporated it into their Bruce. As visible as Bruce is, he also has to be able to disappear in a crowd when he needs to, and that's what Keaton nailed.

Bale looked the part, but I think his Bruce was too over the top as playing over-the-top, and Val had the suave-when-needed Bruce down, but overall was ehhh. Clooney was just there. Truth be told, Adam West was the perfect Bruce and I love Batman, and still watch but now he's probably 4th best Batman. In all seriousness, that's probably where the Batman + Prep time formula came from. Burt Ward was the perfect Robin - teenager full of life and having fun, but we've only had 2 live-action.
