Here's part two: Who was the best Bruce Wayne?

[Gagh]

Taking into consideration he's supposed to be a playboy!

Adam West
Michael Keeton
Val Kilmer
George Clooney
Christian Bale

If there was a movie that was only about Bruce and not Batman, then George is the guy.

I think Hollywood has yet to find the perfect Bruce Wayne. He may not exist out there...

 

[Gagh]

I voted the same way


Clooney practically is Bruce Wayne. Bale doesn't convince me - I'll go for Keaton as second best (I think he did a very good job overall to be honest).

 

[Ilyanna]

Yep, George it is, although his performance was less than stellar. It's just that Bale was too broody, angsty, whatever, his Bruce persona just wasn't convincing.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I don't mind Bale's Bruce because it's supposed to be young, unrefined Bruce, still learning the ropes about having a secret identity. The others are supposed to be Bruce on cruise control, and none of them are quite perfect at it.

 

[Dr Dave]

I'm not sure who to go with on this.

 

[headvoid]

Bale was a poor wayne, I accept that arguement entirely.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well his Bruce has the whole "travelling the world getting arrested and hanging out with ninjas" stuff for years so it wouldn't make sense for him to be an entirely convincing playboy, RIGHT?

 

[Donovan]

Keaton had the absent-minded playboy down because he wasn't the overtly handsome type. Think Bill Gates, and you have this character who (probably by design) would be rich, spoiled, absent in the head, and more or less forgettable because the goddamned Batman wanted it that way. And let's face it, you got that much money you don't have to look like Clooney to get the bimbos...

 

[Gagh]

I've got ten pounds in my pocket. Does that buy me a blowjob?

 

[headvoid]

My gran is asking for your address gagh.

 

[Gagh]

Quality. It's not like I'm spoiled for choice right now.

 

[curiousa2z]

well this thread took a turn...i dont know what to say now....

oh! I liked Keaton overall.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Clooney. Shame that the movie was quite possibly the worst movie ever released by a major studio. One of only two films I've ever walked out on, after paying good money. The other was Dude Where's My Car?

 

[CaptainWacky]

PEOPLE saying Clooney was the "best" but the movie was "THE WORST PIECE OF SHIT SINCE SHIT SHIT SHIT": do you not just mean that he was POTENTIALLY the best, if he'd been in a movie that wasn't SHIT SHIT FUCKING SHIT?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Well, yes.

Back then, Clooney was merely a hot-shit TV star just making his name in films. He wasn't the SAVIOR OF THE FECKING UNIVERSE that he is now, like Bono, with Brad Pitt as his Edge.
