    Benedict Cumberbatch Wants to Play Batman

    I didn't mind Kilmer's portrayal of Bruce Wayne, but I wasn't all that thrilled about his Batman. On the other hand, I didn't mind Clooney as Batman, but I hated his Bruce Wayne and the movie was just so unbelievably bad that he could have put on an Oscar-caliber performance and it wouldn't...

    Benedict Cumberbatch Wants to Play Batman

    So what you're saying is 1989's Batman wasn't legitimate? Also, what "entirely different" aspect did Bale bring to the character? Talking in a gruff voice? Michael Keaton is also a great actor in general and can basically kill any role as well, so I'm not sure what that has to do with the...

    Yeah, West was an over-the-top, hammy Batman, but so was the entire show around him. I mean, Burgess Meredith was a great actor, but he played the Penguin solely for laughs. Still did a great job, even if he wasn't being serious. As for Bale, he's alright, I just think Keaton is better...

    West was a different Batman for a different time. Doesn't mean he's any less good than Bale or Keaton.

    Michael Keaton played him better. So did Adam West if I'm being honest.

    Haha, for real. Can't see him as Batman, but he'd make an awesome Two Face or Riddler.
