Kevin Conroy as the v.o.. And Jack Nicholson as Joker. I like your list, but I'd have to tap Heath Ledger for the Joker win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I liked Romero, Ledger and Nicholson - for different reasons. As long as its not Leto, which is funny cause I usually like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither, it seems, did anyone else. Much to Leto's dismay -- he really wanted another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other Batman portrayal that I think is something special is Adam West's. All the others range from utterly forgettable to merely passable. Funny enough Conroy, while he didn't do the stupid Bale growling thing, is the one who made having Batman and Bruce have separate voices be the standard.

Starlord Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Affleck's voice box was actually one of the things I liked about his Batman, it makes perfect sense to have that in the batsuit...or any supersuit for that matter. massey and Matt the Bruins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Sure, while it "makes sense", it was never necessary for any of the countless other costumed crime fighters from the comics that had live action adaptations over the years (Spider-Man being a prime example). In a genre where something as simple as a pair of glasses and nebbish mannerisms can completely fool everyone, there is absolutely no need to disguise one's voice. And disguised voices sound silly to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Some of this has to do with the dialogue you are given. Put Heath Ledger in Suicide Squad and he might suck just as hard as Leto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Tim Burton I questioned. I do admit while I have liked some of his stuff, I have always found Tim Burton a bit overrated. *turns on force field* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to watch it to know that it isn't a movie about the Joker. It is some other character, wholly new, with the name Joker simply slapped on it. If they want to "re-imagine" a pop culture icon, that's fine, but they should re-imagine a new name (and setting) while they're at it.

Pattern Ghost Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 That is one horrible looking Bat-suit. It'd be nice for a movie to have a suit that looks like the character can actually move in. Plus, what are the protrusions on the Bat-logo?

Or at least early prototype costume or something. But would it kill anyone to put a mostly cloth costume together? Maybe some solid material for the cowl, but they could sell a cloth costume as high tech super-thin kevlar or spider silk armor or something, and make something less armor-plated looking.

zslane Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 And the Body Armor Costume motif continues unabated. Ugh. Supposedly the logo on his chest is composed of the carved up pieces of the gun that killed his parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
