What was your favorite Batman movie? Do you like the older ones or the newer ones better? I am watching Batman Begins for the first time right now. (I loved The Dark Knight) I have to say Christian Bale made a great Batman. I am not sure how I feel about Katie Holme playing Rachel. I did think Heath Ledger was a great Joker. He gave a whole new perspective to the joker. What are your opinions about the Batman Movie. Who do you think played Batman the best.

I remember the original TV series of Batman. It was shown as repeats here in the UK when I was a kid and I loved it - so camp and funny! But it certainly can't be compared to the films. As to the two film series, definetely the newer one - Christian Bale is just a brilliant Batman - he portrays the turtoured, slightly insane vigilante just perfectly and has a great balance between his "bruce wayne" character and his "Batman" character. I liked all the films really, though the originals did get more and more sillier as they went on, kinda lost the dark side of Batman which the new series definetely brought back! As for Dark Knight and Batman Begins - can't decide. I loved batman begins as I loved seeing how Bruce came to be Batman. The dark knight was just one of those films where you really are on the edge of your seat wondering what's gonna happen next!

I am sort of torn as to my favourite Batman movie. I enjoyed the 1989 Batman starring Michael Keaton as it sort of gave me that comic book feel and it was certainly the best of this series of Btaman Movies. But I also really enjoed Batman Begins and it delivered a much more grown up Batman. Infact I actually prefer Batman Begins to the Dark Knight. I would say out of the two Christian Bales performance in Batman Begins just beats Michael Keatons Batman.

The older movies were done in the Batman series of the 60s (the Adam West ones). POW! SOCKO! Etc. That's why they were kinda campy. The newer films are based on the newer, darker, outlook to the Batman series. I actually liked Heath as Joker. If you havent, you *have* to find the tradeback: Emperor Joker! Every single night, he tortures Batman, having his mouth magically removed. In one bit, crows are picking at him! Joker blows Lex Luthor's head off, just for disagreeing with him! Shows a real dark, sadistically insane, version of the Joker!

Batman Begins was pretty great, and The Dark Knight was absolutely stunning- I think everyone agrees Heath Ledger's joker can never be topped. But I still also love that one batman movie Tim Burton directed. I LOVED the penguin and catwoman costumes, and the overall visual style of the movie was cool.

I like the Dark Night best. I think Bale makes an excellent Batman and no one could ever beat that performance of the Joker by Ledger. It was just an excellent movie all the way around.
