I guess I can respect stylistic differences, people choosing a more realistic approach and higher production values over the surreal world of Tim Burton's Gotham, but you have to admit that Michael Keaton was better as Bruce Wayne than Christian Bale was. Bale was really only a few steps up from Hayden Christensen in the adult with teen angst department.

He's just such a whiny pretty boy character and I don't believe him as someone suffering depression or PTSD. With Michael Keaton's performance, you know that man has faced depression in real life and is able to channel it into his character. There may be some improbable gadgetry and cartoonified villains, but Keaton's depressed Bruce Wayne is the real deal. With Christian Bale's character, he just says and does the things the writers want him to do without regards to human emotion or basic psychology.

I can't think of a single Batman movie other than Bat v Supes where Batman was the most interesting character in the film

I guess my point is, who cares.

Affleck is better than all of them. Directorial issues aside, he's the most convincing batman and Bruce Wayne.

This sounds like it was written by somebody who's never seen any of these movies.

It doesn't even seem like a 'Batman movie.' Batman Begins is a much better Batman movie.

Bale was the best Bruce Wayne by far.

Every other Bruce Wayne was so obviously Batman, Bale played the rich dumb socialite perfectly.

Keaton was my favorite but this is the truth. Affleck is a very good Batman and Bruce Wayne, way better than I expected.
