Yea, Keaton's Bruce Wayne was waaaaay off target. His Batman was fine, but Christian's is better (aside from that growling voice).
Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Christian Bale really gets three characters right: Bruce Wayne the fool, the Bruce Wayne that Fox, Alfred and Rachael know, and Batman. The voice in The Dark Knight is a bit ridiculous, but it was perfect in Batman Begins and lends a truly visceral quality to his persona. Also, he's certainly the only Batman that convinces the audience he could kick all of their asses rather easily.

lol, that voice will never die.
Yeah, for fans of Batman - TAS, Kevin Conroy will always be the definitive Batman. What a show that was! Probably the greatest animated show of all time, with Avatar a close second, IMHO.
Avatar is number one, Batman: TAS is like third. I'd put Freakazoid as second.kanjisheik wrote:Yeah, for fans of Batman - TAS, Kevin Conroy will always be the definitive Batman. What a show that was! Probably the greatest animated show of all time, with Avatar a close second, IMHO.
No he doesn't. He's a simple cocky playboy in these films. We don't even see his obsession with being Batman either. The shot of Bruce just sitting in a dark room in Returns, just waiting for the bat signal perfectly encapsulates the thought process of this man. He lives to be Batman; Bruce Wayne is the mask.elixxxer wrote:Christian Bale really gets three characters right: Bruce Wayne the fool, the Bruce Wayne that Fox, Alfred and Rachael know, and Batman.

Yes, he does. There's plenty of moments where Bruce Wayne isn't a cocky playboy. The entire first hour of Batman Begins is practically real Bruce Wayne.GunRanger wrote:No he doesn't.
