The heating bill is zero, hence the nipples poking through body Armour.

My favorite is the Adam West version. It's so funny!

In the scene where the Riddler, Penguin, etc. are holding Wayne captive, the Riddler asks, "You think you're pretty clever, don't you, Mr. Wayne?"

Without missing a beat, he responds (and watch it if you don't believe me), "Clever enough to outwit you, you stupid fk."

i find it intresting that the 2 genras are always compared. When actually they are 2 seperate themes from DC comics. sure they have the same charaters, places, and villians but the 2 are serepated by intent. the older batman films (those excludingthe last 2, begins and dark knight) are golden age DC, classic comic book heros and villians. kinda like the carebaers of comics (yes some villians die but thats the movies and not the genra at work.)

now you have the newer movies, they fallow the path of a darker more non traditional comic theme popularized in the 90's its a evil place, full of darkness and dispare, where B-man actually does loose fights ( at one point loosing to dracula and becoming a vamp.)

the 2, yes are the same on the surface, but underneath is on one side the sunny, happy place, and on the other , well its nasty, and evil....

of the 2 i like Burton. but i found the dark knights joker to be awesome as well.

Burton tells the same story over and over again, so it's tiresome; also, Jack Nicholson was crap.

Nolan puts on a good show, but the logic behind the writing is unbelievably stupid. His movies have me wondering whether Batman is an idiot.

So it's down to Schumacher, for casting Uma, Arnold & Alicia. Especially Alicia:




Brrr.... NICE!

Uhm, the golden age Batman carried a gun, shot criminals, and the Joker wasn't as funny. I think you are confusing the 50's era Batman with the 40's era.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Pat that askala, O-H-I hate this stupid state

Why oh why would you ever make George Clooney Batman. Worst Batman movies ever.
I like Tim Burtons take on Batman. Dark twisted but still fun.
I also like Nolans take on the more realistic take on Batman. I really like the take on the villans that seem more psychotic and calculating than in other films.
Last Mr. Freezenegger was also a huge joke. Loook aht mae I stomp arhound en thes suit.

But,I have to agree,hell ,Alicia Siverstone in her "bat suit" was the ONLY good thing in Batman and Robin.

Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl was just another character they ruined.
"Look at me, I'm Alfred's niece. Whoopsie, I've accidently discovered the Batcace, better suit up and fight crime."

I don't care how she looked in that suit. She was a terrible character in a terrible movie!

I always liked the fact she didn't go to Oxford or Cambridge, but to Oxbridge Academy.

Though seeing Ms. Silverstone in as choolgirl outfit was very nearly worth that idiocy.

Since the subject of Batgirl is on the table,let us not forget Yvonne Craig,she made my childhood VERY happy.

Plot holes are an unfortunate side effect from having a plot, something that neither Burton or Schumacher troubled themselves with.

Adam West Batman, no contest.

Which other Batman, upon being attacked by a shark asks for his Bat Shark Repellent, sprays it onto the shark which lets go, and upon hitting the water explodes.

Nothing the modern Batmans have done compares.

I doubt it; there's something about the medium that pulls it off in a very specific way:
