[Richard Fernandez]

Adam West

 

[Steve Christou]

Fat Bastard should play Batman methinks, rename it Fatman, och aye the noo.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Bill Murray.

 

[Luis C. Ortiz]

The one and only Michael Keaton

Luis

 

[BruZZi]

Alec Baldwin

 

[Todd Christ]

i'd have to say "The Rock" or "Jesse Ventura"...
hmm, maybe Rudy Gulliani?

 

[John Thomas]

Since we're on a silly spree here, let's go with Joe Pesci. I mean, we know he's a tough guy, eh? The moniker Batman would take on a totally different meaning with him.

Adam West!

Personally, I think it's enough already with the Batman movies.

Oh c'mon, if they strapped Ryan Phillipe into a fetishistic rubber suit complete with protruding bat-nipples & bat-codpiece you'd change your tune.
Thinking tangentially, if Reese Witherspoon played Catwoman or Batgirl, I'd probably at least rent it.
Anyway, in all seriousness now, the movies in this franchise have all more or less lived or died based on the villain (and, of course, the tone) not who gets the more straight man role of Batman.

Speaking of Catwoman, what does everyone think of the casting of Ashley Judd for Catwoman (rather than going back ot Michelle Pfeiffer)?

Provided there is the obligatory let-me-show-you-my-fantastic-butt scene, I'm down for a ticket to that.

If they are making The Dark Knight Returns, I'd suggest Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood.

Brad Pitt directed by Terry Gilliam.

Interesting thought. I would probably like to see that happen. Ashley Judd is decent actress and she is good-looking. She could do a good job.

 

[Sean Conklin]

I thought Michael Keaton AND Val Kilmer did a good job so I will go with:

Michael Keaton

Val Kilmer

George Clooney (YES, I think he would make a great Batman!)

I want Keaton and Burton back. It hasn't been the same since they left.

I actually cringe when I watch Batman II nowadays. I can't believe the guy who wrote "Heathers", Dan Waters, put in such grotesque dialog for The Penguin. It's plain awful stuff. I liked 40% of Batman II.

For Batman I, I didn't like much of anything after the Joker is on the parade float, it got really silly in that last act. The 1st act kicked butt, but it just lost its way after that.

Russell Crowe or Michael Keaton, but really I'd love to see Chow Yun Fat.
