What do you think of Tim Burton's Batman?

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I used to like Tim Burton's Batman but recently I grew bored with those films and just now I finally realized how screwy these films truly are. To sum it all up the only thing that Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito did was ham it up for the camera.

Kim Basinger spent most of her time screaming her damn head off and Michelle Pheiffer spent most of her time playing a psycho bitch. Also Michael Keaton's performance in both films was pretty forgettable because he didn't do much besides beat up the bad guys and kiss the girls.

I hate them. I find it hard to watch them without laughing hysterically at just how badly done they were. In general my biggest problem is the poor portrayal of pretty much every character. I hate Nicholson's Joker; there's nothing menacing or terrifying about him. I hate Keaton's Batman/Bruce Wayne as well. His Batman I suppose wasn't horrible given what he had to work with, but his Bruce Wayne always bothered me. Especially the fact that for being the richest man in Gotham, nobody seemed to even know what he looked like in the first movie. He also came off more as a bumbling idiot than a billionaire playboy. Also, right around the point where Batman blows up a factory with Joker's goons inside in the first movie is where I give up on it completely. Batman doesn't kill. Period. Even Batman Begins "I can't kill you, but I don't have to save you" moment was a bit of a stretch for the character.

Well...at least Batman didn't kill Ra's Al Ghul.

I don't mind them. They aren't my favorite movies of all time, but they're far from the worst.

Michael Keaton is such a cutie, though!

Ehh....

How old were we when the movie came out? What did we think of them THEN? Maybe that's not a valid argument. What did adults think of the Batman movie? Remember adults only had Batman comics and the Adam West TV show to go with as well.

I think the Keaton Batman was campy , but not too campy

[Araciel]

I smurfing hate Tim Burton and everything he does.

I was six years old when I saw Batman Returns in the movie theater. At the time adults didn't like the Tim Burton Batman films because they thought that those films were inappropriate for children...after Batman Returns was over most children had left the theater crying but I didn't.

I hate batman altogether.

His two Batman movies are undoubtedly the best Batman movies out there. Batman Begins is nowhere near as good.

Then why the hell did you even bother posting here!?

I was old enough to see the first one in the theater and I did see the second one at the movies. I always liked those two movies.

Just to bug you, John. Why else would I?

OOC:	It's okay. He's still "unhappy with me" (replace with a more suiting expression) for taking apart his poll half a year ago. Elephants never forget, eh John?

Back on topic. There are few things that look dumber than Batman. I think Catwoman would be one of them. Other than that, I think that all his films are rubbish, despite the huge investments into the cast.
