    Listen the original 1989 Batman wasn't that bad even though they pick Michael Keaton as Bruce. It did bring Batman to the big screen. Not all super hero movie are great. They do give us a starting point for more to come. Compare Michael to Adam West. See what I mean!

    The Dark Knight is way more fun to watch, I don't sit there yelling at the screen everytime Kim Basinger appears.
     
    Batman Returns is more fun that both of them though :D

    I can't watch The Dark Knight more than two times. I don't want to watch Batman again, so neither.

    dark knight. to be honest at the risk of sounding like a heathen, i don't see what was so great about nicholson's joker. for all of burton's goth influence, he made 89 pretty camp.

    The 89 film was pretty bad... Evil deoderant and Joker killing Thomas and Martha Wayne?

    @FadeToBlackBolt: I loved it the first time I saw it and the second time I saw it, it was alright. Recently, I tried watching it again but during the Joker and clowns scene in the beginning, I just got bored and turned it off.

    @Sexy Merc: I agree, it's never as good as the first time, but I still love it. The advantage of Begins was there was far more Bruce Wayne stuff, with the company and all that, so it felt less like a comic film. Both great movies though, imo.

    The more fun to watch was 1966 movie. 
    Adam West Rules, sometime you just cant get rid of a bomb!!! 
    I think Burton only care about how the movie looks, the storyline was bad, Batman was another Tim burton style character. 
    Ig he did a new Batman movie the casting will be Batman Johnny Depp, Catwoman Helena Bonem Carter and the guys that did the Ommpa Loompas as Robin.

    The Dark Knight. BatMan Begins and the Dark Knight were very true to his character. I also love darker movies. The older BatMan series was horrendous. I can't watch it.
