In response to "My favourite part of this is people pretending that the quality of Batman movies has depended on who plays Bruce Wayne. -- nm" by Reagen

Yeah, that's kinda true. The first batman was good, but the second one sucked, and they had the same actor ...

Keaton.

Responses:

Keaton was big at the time though. BA...is he big now? -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:43 40
- he was Mr. Mom. Mr. Mom is not Batman, or so a lot of people thought at the time -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 21:28 3
  - But he was, and is, a good actor. It helped him break out of the comedy roles. -- nm - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:43
  - I'm wildly amused by the Stallone suggestion in the article JD found. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:33
  - 38... 39... whatever it took. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 22, 21:32
- Not the huge star Christian Bale was when he got the gig... - Cuzzin Todd Aug 22, 20:59 6
  - *ding* -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:02
  - "The kid from Newsies?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:00 4
    - "Oooh, the Machinist!" -- nm - Tim Aug 22, 21:01 3
      - Patrick Bateman. -- nm - JD Aug 22, 21:04 2
        
        *this* -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:04 1
        
        It pretty much is his Beetlejuice. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:04
- Keaton was big as a comedic actor at the time -- nm - JD Aug 22, 20:52
- "A Batman movie" then is nothing like "A Batman movie" now. I have now flipped and am hoping this *is* a Superman movie and Batman is just a smaller - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:45 7
  - Like he won't be Batman in Justice League... -- nm - David Aug 22, 21:29
  - regardless, i think i hate snyder as a director. Doubt I'll go to theaters for the next one. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:50 5
    - Like I said on B2, there is a good chance I will never see it. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:03 4
      - It was painful. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 21:06 3
        
        I don't like Superman. Never have. But I enjoyed every Superman movie they made (yeah, Quest was bad, but still), even Returns. But nothing about... - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:15 2
        
        you haven't seen it. so you can't comment on what you haven't seen. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 21:29 1
        
        L3! - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:31
- You mean the director/star of the reigning Best Picture? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 20:44 19
  - I'm gonna go with big. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 22, 20:58
  - He's acting in 1 movie this year, directing 1 movie next year. The academy likes him, but that's not what a big actor looks like. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:48 17
    - Ben is a humbled superstar. He is not a huge star because he made that choice to not be one - Will Hunting Aug 22, 21:00 1
      - But it's more for his directing and writing than his acting. - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:07
    - (also, To The Wonder is really a this year movie) -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:59
    - Michael Keaton's 1986-1988: Gung Ho, Touch and Go, The Squeeze, Beetlejuice (which was not as big a hit as you think), Clean and Sober - Reagen Aug 22, 20:57 13
      - Sure, but Keaton made more sense for Batman at the time (a little goofy). Just don't get Affleck. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 21:06 12
        
        Ummm, actually no. Not according to the fans at that time - JD Aug 22, 21:12 10
        
        Right. People are giving in to revisionist history. - Reagen Aug 22, 21:24 9
        
        Like I said, it is a different animal though. All the way around. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:30 7
        
        Clooney was "the ER guy". And was, in fact, a good Batman in a terrible Batman movie. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:32 6
        
        Clooney was a great Bruce Wayne, an okay Batman, in a horrible Batman movie. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:34 2
        
        Right. So I will give you that you're right to be concerned about the Zach Snyder part - Reagen Aug 22, 21:36 1
        
        And when you get right down to it, the real reason that 60 mil was not enough to get Bale back. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:41
        
        I thought kilmer was alright. O'donnell ... not so much. - Beryllium Aug 22, 21:34 2
        
        O'Donnell is wrong for everything that requires more than two emotions. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:34 1
        
        He finally found his niche in NCIS:LA. -- nm - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:42
        
        Just like they do with Ledger -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 21:26
        
        I guess if you could pick a reason and stick with it, it'd be helpful. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:07
