Keaton is to batman as Connery is to bond. Fair statement?

Looking outside those 2 roles, their resumes aren’t nearly as successful bottom line but… you can’t look outside those 2 roles.

It's buried in my post below, but I think the commonality is that they set the standard for their roles. - Roger More Aug 3, 09:04
nah, Keaton was a cheesy batman, Connery defined a new genre of film. nobody is parodying Keaton batman, plenty are for Connery bond. -- nm - colin Aug 3, 09:03
Personally, I think Bale is Batman. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 08:59 4
- He is my *favorite*, but Keaton *is* Batman. And I really like Pattinson's. So go figure. - Spawn Aug 3, 09:03
- And who’s your Bond? Connery, Moore, Brosnan, Craig? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:00 2
  - George Lazenby -- nm - decline Aug 3, 09:08
  - Probably Connery -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:06
Close enough. Except after Morbius, I'm not sure if I care if he comes back as Batman. - Beryllium Aug 3, 08:53 1
- I think he knew he was in a crap piece and simply acted to it's level. His work in (Homecoming) was stellar. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 3, 08:55
Keaton did Birdman, Spotlight, Beetlejuice, The Paper, Founder -- nm* - budice Aug 3, 08:50 8
- Keaton did Multiplicity (I am not sure what this thread is about) -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:59 1
  - The Other Guys. Don't go chasing water falls my friend -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 09:00
- Connery did Untouchables, Red October, Last Crusade, The Rock, Finding Forrester, Entrapment... - Roger More Aug 3, 08:58
- Connery did Gandalf, Morpheus/The Architect, John Hammond, Dumbledore, Sybock...wait...sorry, in an alternate universe again. my bad. -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 08:56 1
  - "Shpock... live long and proshper." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 08:57
- ….and Connery did Untouchables, Red October and The Rock. But there are dozens of leading men who’ve had 2-3 strong hits. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 08:55
- Birdman, Night Shift, Mr. Mom. -- nm* - Remlik Aug 3, 08:54
- Vulture, too. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:51
About as close as you can get, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:49
