I wonder if people will start to ask who was the best Batman like they ask,”Who was the best James Bond?”

Clearly the answer would be Val Kilmer. (just kidding)

Funny you should mention "the best Batman" --!! When I saw Michael Keaton, of all people (!!!) hit it out of the park with an intense Batman, and then Jack Nicholson as Joker, I thought it couldn't get any better.

Fast forward to the first two Batman flicks with Christian Bale ... he was even better than Keaton! And Heath Ledger as the Joker ... fabulouser and fabulouser!!! But only the first two with Bale ... the ones that followed were so heavy and predictable. Such is life and art. As Lauren Bacall lamented in To Have and Have Not, "Well, it was nice while it lasted."
