[kaientai]

thanks johhny my morning coffee just made an emergency exit through my nose.

not to hijack the thread but if they go that way who should play
a) riddler
b) bane
c) cat woman

None of the above.

Kevin Conroy was the best Batman of all time. And all he was able to work with was his voice.

I know I'm in a tiny minority, but I think the whole Batman thing works best in a half hour TV format that's funny and satirical. The movies seem so long and cumbersome.

and they take themselves much too seriously

Best Batman: Christian Bale. Best Bruce Wayne: Michael Keaton, followed by Christian Bale.

Ideally, Batman should have a more powerful physique and move more gracefully yet powerfully than Bale does, but it would take Jet Li to capture that aspect of the Batman, and the rest would be lost (nevermind the ethnicity).

I have to go with Adam West because if the words pow don't fly across the screen at least once during a show I feel disserviced Holy customer satisfaction Batman

I think batman was created as being a dark,edgey character that adam west stuff was just too goofy and cheesy.I understand the times but come too goofy and too cheesy.

I am liking Christian Bales portrayal of Batman.

I do agree with you though on Kevin Conroy's Batman. Everytime i think of Batman. Kevin's manner and voice are the first things that come to mind.

Would be nice to hear more of him as Batman.

[Jack59]

And you might be.

I read on wikipedia that he's returning to the the role for the future animated projects.

I've never seen Val Kilmer as Batman, but he was awesome as Doc Holliday in Tombstone...
