Best Batman Film?

Blitzkrieger

I think Batman Forever was the best one. With films based on comic books you can't judge them the normal way. Forever had everything. Black and white villans (literaly), ridicuously shaped/sized secret hideout in the middle of the harbor and ott acting by Jim Carey.

And of course - you can't have Batman without Robin. "Holy iron Batman!"

The less said about Batman and Robin though the better.

Robin:"Holy rusted Metal Batman!"

Batman: What?

Robin: "The metal, its rusty and has holes in it"

jimi we already had this agruement in work. Batman the first film with Jack Nicholas as the joker is da best Batman returns was brilliant and Forever wasn't too bad but once George Clooney got the cape things went downhill

Bard

Jack Nicholas? Sounds like a golfer... *checks... Jack Nicklaus... ahhh!*

You mean Jack Nicholson of course, and I heartily concur that the 1989 blockbuster "Batman" was the best of the lot. Batman was ALWAYS going to be a Tim Burton movie.

Batman Returns by a mile, those rocket-launching penguins were dead cute the less said about the third and esp the fourth the better.

'Batman' (1966) Best one ever. Where else could you get Bat Shark repellent!

ahh, yes , best rubber shark in history, even better than Bruce from Jaws. You can almost see the hands of the crewmembers at the end. Batman Returns is the best by the way, the first a close second, and as for the rest...well when you all go to hell and visit Dante's Inferno, y'all will see the gutwrenching, horrific, dispicable and downright nasty things that will happen to all the bodily orifaces of the screewriters, directors (that means you, Schumacher), and costume designers of those pus filled pimples. Thank you..

i concur hobbes.
conan o brien wanted to resurrect adam west's career with a specially built sit com. the he got that stint writing for the simpsons and got adam west stuck in at ever possible excuse. "100% PURE WEST"
or
"why doesn't batman dance anymore?"
genius of a man. (west, not o'brien) he made that movie the best one ever. the scenes of him running around the pier with the cartoon bomb. no better way to spend a rainy saturday afternoon than watching that.

The imagery in Batman is excellent. Very like the Gotham in the comic books. In Batman Returns , they really captured the darkness and the madness of Batman. Batman Forever has by far the Best villains and the worst visuals. Batman and Robin is just ****. We all know that so lets just avoid mentioning it again plese.

I am a bit tired so I am not elaborating on these (bold?) statements

So the pope puts down the Badger and leans over to me and says , 'At TFC my son , I 0wnz j00'. Before I could speak in walks Dustin Hoffman in a giant Silk Worm costume and just then...it started to get weird...

Mark Hamill has always been the voice of the Joker in tyhe Batman animated series and he is quite good as well. I had a shock as well when I found out it was him.

what is the best comic book film of all time?

Shiminay

The first Batman is the best IMHO - i.e. the one versus Jack as the Joker and not the one with the Bat-Re-Hydrater to fix the world leaders!

Easily the first Batman

From reading Batman for years i can tell you that is what its supposed to be

Joker is played brilliantly by Nicholson

Gotham is portrayed beautifully

and as for robin forget him Batman is a
lone warrior

LegacyUser

Like the previous poster, as a comics fan "Batman" wins. "Batman Returns" is in second place, forget the rest...

Any news on the new "Superman" film?

"X-Men" is good BTW.

sutty

when is the X-MEN coming out in Ireland?

also it has to be "Batman" in first and returns in second.

as for the hole West thing....he has the best lines of them all.

"Batmam" was more like the true Dark Night.

X-men is out next month - the 24th I think.

Batman is not the lone warrior anymore. He has plently of bat-lackeys to help him. Even before that he had Alfred.

AFAIK, the Superman film is lucking in production hell. Most of the scripts have been rejected and it isn't going into production anytime soon.

However Spiderman is going ahead with Sam(Yo she Bi*ch, Lets Go!)Raime at the helm.
It cant go wrong.

I know ! Its *****in! Go on Sam, do the business ! X-Men is out August 18th. Now if they make a Daredevil movie, then a Preacher movie, then its quite posssible that the world will be a much better place.
