Thread: Michael Keaton or Christian Bale?

  1. #1

    Default Michael Keaton or Christian Bale?

    Who do you think put on a better performance as Batman Michael Keaton or Christian Bale? Considering that Batman Returns is my favorite Batman movie I'd have to say Michael Keaton. If Batman Begins : The Dark Knight is just as good if not better than Batman Returns then I'll say Christian Bale...But until then Michael Keaton gets my vote.

    Keaton, without even a second of hesitation. Bale's pretty good too, but Keaton is in a different league.

    And then there is Death

    Christian Bale. I like his acting, and he gives off a good persona as Batman.

    I really like Christian Bale as an actor. He's got a real intensity about him. Keaton was good and I found his performance quite amusing, but I really don't Tim Burton films.

    Michael Keaton is a better Batman. Christian Bale is a better Bruce Wayne.

    Christian Bale. He was a perfect Batman. I loved how he changed his voice when he was Batman, it made Batman seem more supernatural.

    Bale, easily. Not to put Keaton down, he did a fine job, but Bale's in a whole different league.

    My vote is with Bale.

    I thoroughly enjoyed <i>Batman Begins</i> and thought that it was *gasp* the best in the series.

    Bale. Keaton did the best he could with what he had, but I really don't feel the Burton films really had a good sense of any of the characters to begin with. Batman Begins nailed the characters though, in no small part thanks to Bale's fine performance.

    It's worth pointing out that, for the most part, Keaton's Batman was always against enemies that outshone him significantly. Hence his performance, in contrast to the players around him, is insignificant. Batman/Batman Returns should have been The Joker and The Penguin and Catwoman respectively.

    I really thought that Bale was an awesome Bruce Wayne, but not that good a Batman.
