Batman Poll

[Mags 112]

Didn't much like Superman Returns - Brandon Routh was good, but the movie was just boring.

I was seriously disappointed with Kevin Spacey's role in that. He is a fantastic actor, a brilliant baddie and yet they gave him nothing to work with script wise. He could have been a scenery chewing maniac yet they only gave him ONE good line.

Such a waste.

Kate Bosworth was woefully miscast as Lois Lane. No fire, no feistyness, just blahhhh and FAR too young. Brandon Routh was the only high point really.

To the question at hand, Christian Bale without a doubt. I thought Batman Begins was brilliant.

Yeah - the whole problem with Superman Returns is that pretty much nothing happens. You don't find out where Superman has been (except on a 20 year waste of time), and the characters mythology is badly mis-handled. They even slotted in old footage of Marlon Brando from the original. Shame really because Bryan Singer is a good director - he pulled out of doing X-3 because of Superman. Shame really - as both Superman Returns and X-3 were mediocre at best.

BTW I hadn't seen Superman 1 for years - we rented it on Netflix a few months back and it is really really good. The extended version adds a lot of material to the prequel on Krypton and some of the special effects work is amazing.

And you also realise, looking back, how good of a comedic actor Christopher Reeve was. Very under appreciated.

Oh man I'm really behind in my Batman movies. Guess I'll have to remember that next time I'm looking for movies to rent. I have my best memories of Batman from the original Adam West series, so I voted for him. But when I see an old episode, it reminds me how easy it was for TV studios to entertain way back then.

Incidentally erekose, I agree on the Superman 1 movie. I remember seeing it with some friends on the first showing. That was one of the best movie experiences I've ever had (maybe a little behind Star Wars first showing). The movie was entertaining and of course the audience clapped/laughed/cheered at everything. First day showings are great!

As I kid I always associated him with Kermit the Frog. I have no idea why...

I've watched a few of the Batman movies and remember the series as a child...but I've never been a huge Batman movie fan. Eh, I'll watch it if Joel wanted to, but on my own...no.

[Marilyn. 340]

it is pretty close between Batman Begins and Batman ...

and between Christian Bale and Micheal Keaton and Adam West as Batman....

but it looks like most people like Jack Nicholson as the Joker

Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman...

Adam West. We need a return to the tongue-in-cheek type movie than the most recent one. Liked the movie, but HORRIBLE for a batman flick...
