First, thanks for checking us out and for liking it enough to listen to them all.
Second, you actually like my rants? lol I don't even like my rants.
Third, liking anything is pretty subjective. I own my dislike of Jack Nicholson in any role. Particularly Batman. I liked Michael Keaton fine but I didn't like the Joker or the use of Prince. That's my opinion, you are free to have your own. I personally like Batman and
Robin for reasons
unknown to myself, even though I admit that its a crapfest. Sometimes we just like what we like and hate what we hate. Case and point - I cannot stand
Penelope Cruz - whether her face or unintelligable
accent I don't know, I just can't stand the woman.
I choose not to wade into the murky waters of comparing Keaton and Bale. Look at where Keaton is 20 years later and think about where Bale will be in the same time frame.
Like you said, the source material in both Batman movies was different. The tone is different, the direction and set design is very different and the acting is different. Treat them differently.
Catwoman. I like Michelle Pfiffer but I don't like the direction that version of Catwoman was given. I do agree that she's been the best version of Catwoman on the celluloid but that isn't saying much. Crystal will kill me for dissing Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt. Eartha Kitt is a cartoon of her own making. I soley enjoy the Jeph
Loeb take on the character. I am glad we agree on Frank grrrr Miller.
I might watch them again but I doubt my opinions will change.
