<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Just watched the first Batman.....heh, it was an enjoyable movie. Who would have thought Jack could play an insane Joker. ;P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Are you culturally behind or what? Ten years ago I saw that movie...yeah, Jack looks more and more like a psycho every day now. One of these days Shaq is gonna glimpse him on the sidelines and just run the hell away.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I have it tape sonny-boy. :) I pulled it out of my stack of old movies!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The only good Batman movie. Jack Nickolson was perfect for the joker.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I saw that movie about a month ago, it was on TV all summer, first time I saw it was in theatres, overall, I'd say it's probably by far the best one, and the chopper ladder scene at the end was awesome =)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Explains why every other Batman movie has two villains. It takes two mediocre actors to equal one Jack Nicholson.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Keaton was great in that scene. Of all the Batmans, I think he's the only one that captured the neurosis.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I agree. No other Batman can hold a candle to Keaton. As well, no other Batman director can hold a candle to Tim Burton.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yah, totally. He's one of the actors who's known for playing a good psycho.</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>but that was because he was a total Batman comic book freak. :) He knew EVERYTHING about the Batman comics. He told me he did book reports on the trade paperbacks in high school.

I understand how he felt. I mean, the movie really had little to do with the comic in terms of continuity or character traits. As a huge Xmen fanatic, I almost felt the same about the Xmen movie but I just looked at it as a different interpretation of the characters and story and was able to love the movie.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I was also disappointed with it, I too was Batman comic fan. However, Batman Forever was more to my liking, since it borrowed quite a few scenes from Batman Year One series.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>In the comics, there were two Bruce Waynes : flambouyant Bruce and Depressed Bruce.

Keaton was too short for Bruce, since the original story had a 6 foot plus character and was not at all of average height. If anyone recalls The Dark Knight Returns, even a 60 year old Bruce scared off some hoodlums with his brooding height alone. Keaton couldn't scare off a chihuahua.

This is all my opinion, anyway.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Ugh. Too much fluorescent crap, too corny. I'd kill for a good (and it would have to be good) Dark Knight Returns.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>He didn't have the physical stature for it, but he had the attitude and the acting ability, something that request ones did not.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Hmmm. That's not how you spell "requisite."</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>Dark Knight Returns.....he'd be one mean ass Batman. Hell, it'd be a rated R movie for violence. Well, as old as Bruce was, he didn't have the stamina to keep up a long fight, so he broke bones. Effiecient...but made him a criminal. Ah well, lesser of two evils.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>"He's too big..."</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Everytime I think of the ridiculousness of Keaton as Batman, I always think back to this quick Animaniacs jab at his casting and crack up...</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>I'd settle for a good movie with Scarecrow as the main villian too...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Nothing compares to George Clooney as Batman. "I'm Batman! No, really...I'm Batman. Quit laughing! I'm really Batman!" Next, it's Dan Arkyroid as Robin.</div>
