Christain Bale? Is he still acting?

And I don't know if I could take "Laurie" from Little Women seriously as Bruce Wayne. I guess we'll see.

I didn't think I could take Michael Keaton, and he was the best of the lot (and the only decent one)

I thought Clooney was the best one, even though he was obviously in the worst movie. Give him a good script and a good director, and he'll show you a real Batman. Bale should be pretty good, though.

sorry, not just the movie sucked. His performance sucked. He had one good line as batman. Completely unconvincing even though his face and body were hidden behind that suit. Though I'll admit he did a better job as Bruce than Kilmer, who sucked universally in both aspects. Note that I don't think that Val Kilmer and George Cloney are bad actors, just that they womped it hardcore in their roles as Batman.

I one hundred percent agree with Ehlers.  Personally, I think the only watchable movie of the three is the first one.

I thought there were 4? But I liked Arnold as Mr. Freeze. Heh, he was good. Ok, not really. But Jim Carey as The Rideler, he was good. Err...maybe he wasn't. Is it just me or have most Batman movies been inexplicably bad? Is it that dark atmosphere? Oohhh, and there was Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face which was a really...well no.

Yeah, I'm stupid.  I meant 4.  

Number two was a little too weird for me, although it was tolerable.  I hate number three the most, due mainly to my intense dislike of Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer.  Four was incredibly awful, but it had Alicia Silverstone in tight clothes, so I forgive it.

Again, it would depend on actors, directors, and scripts.
Using the same set up as the TV show? Probably not, cuz I can get my eye candy for free on TV without paying $10 for a movie ticket.

my point exactly. The only reason for watching would be the eye candy. Which I can get for free on TV. So why pay for it?

The point is I'm not going to pay to see a chest and a butt. There are plenty of other shows. Spike TV has Baywatch in syndication, for example.
