Nah. Getting rid of him was the best thing they could've done. But Batfleck legit deserves another chance.

Christian Bale was a decent Batman who happened to be in two very good films as Batman.

Ben Affleck was a better Batman who was only ever in terrible films as Batman.

I'd say Bale was more of a "barely serviceable Batman," but other than that, you're on point.

I think he was a slightly better Batman in Begins than he was in the sequels. But yes, in the others, hes just along for the ride.

He was a great Batman but a mediocre Bruce Wayne. So far nobody has topped Keaton there.

His Bruce Wayne was just as bad, imo. By far the weakest Batman actor in general.

Adam West Batman is the best, and most authentic Batman, because he:

  • was the BEST Bruce Wayne
  • had plot armor
  • actually did plan for everything
  • had a sidekick/partner/decoy
  • was on good terms with the GCPD
  • didn't kill his villains or common criminals
  • had a healthy home life
I don't know why people always ignore these indisputable FACTS.

I'm tired of pretending that it matters who portrayed a character better. Everyone keeps saying Andrew Garfunkel was the best Spiderman (or Peter Parker, as if there's a difference). But that doesn't matter because the movies he were in are so bad they make you vomit and anyone saying they didn't vomit watching them is lying.

Yes, those movies are bad and indeed made me vomit. But Garfield is by far the best live-action Spider-Man. Worst Peter Parker though.

Bale gets a bump because he may not be the best Batman, but he's in the best Batman films. My only problem with him is his meme voice in the suit.

He's the best when it comes to recreating fight scenes from Arkham video games.

Outside of that we never got to see him do much outside of moping for Snyder or being sarcastic for Whedon.

He's the only Batman who doesn't even have chemistry with Alfred. How does that even happen?

Maybe.

Bale definitely had better villains.

I liked Pattinson's best because he wasn't immaculate and perfect, he made mistakes like that scene where he's gliding away, gets caught on a bridge or something, and abruptly goes tumbling after it seemed like he was having a flawless exist, after fighting his way out of a police station.

Its absolutely a fun movie, but I wouldnt say any less or any more than its a fun movie.

Topic though, ehhhh, Ill have to admit I think the only affleck batman Ive seen was just the other day with the Flashand I couldnt get over how he looks with the mask. I couldnt listen to him. I couldnt pay attention to the scene. It just doesnt look right.

but Ive got Bale down there too, so its not like Im claiming he was great or anything

I actually do like how Keaton played Bruce Wayne as a socially awkward weirdo. Like he's only ever really in his element when he's Batman.

Nolan deserves at least as much blame for the voice, maybe all of it. Notice how it became more extreme in TDK than it was in BB? IIRC, dude had it digitally altered from that point forward to make it sound worse. I believe he did the same kind of fuckery with Bane's voice, which is why that also got so many laughs as well as complaints in the theater that they couldn't hear/make out what Hardy was saying.

One of the deleted scenes in The Flash has the younger Flash saying the reason his universe Batman (Keaton) stopped being being Batman was because he killed a criminal infront of the criminal's son.. would have been an interesting way to combine themes of "going too far" with "futulity of ending poverty"...

Kevin Conroy would like to have a word with you.

Also, it was Michael Keaton, because I'm Gen X and 1989 Batman is still the GOAT.

Christian Bale's Batman is like Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man -- an alright portrayal elevated by being in some solid movies that are looked back on fondly.

Meanwhile Ben Affleck's Batman is like Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man -- really good casting but held back by being in shittier movies.

Affleck deserved a Batman movie that was written by actual competent people.
