I can't be held responsible for other peoples incoherent opinions.

Could you please explain further?I'm saying that Nolan and Burton's interpretations of the character are so different that the way one of them approaches the material will likely be different from the other. Burton is more fantasy-oriented, obviously, while Nolan shoots for a gritty realism. Correspondingly, one will work better for the viewer as a result than the other.
QuoteGood, don't ever change!I couldn't. Even if I wanted to.
QuoteSorry, I meant "ones-self". i didn't mean to infer you, colorsblend - just incase you though i wasI knew what you meant. And it's not pigeon-holing oneself. This isn't politics. Attitudes and tastes can change over time. I wasn't really nuts about Burton's films until about 2004 or so. It was around then that I started to analyze them a little and BR emerged as the clear champ. Going to see BB (it's numerous cinematic warts and weaknesses aside) was simply not as invigorating as Burton's other wordly Gotham City, teeming with crazed clowns and catwomen. The psychology in Burton's universe just works better for me.
QuoteI don't see the attraction in pigeon-hole-ing yourself when it comes to Batman. darn it, i'm watching adam west this week!I think West is one of the greatest Batmen in live action. Often times he's third on my list of best Batmen ever (behind Keaton and Conroy, in that order).
QuoteI guess when it all comes down to it thats true you can like any or every batman movie but everyone has there one movie that they pefer above all others for me its 89 but i still love returns and begins and theres nothing to say that i can't but for some people there fav is anything from begins to B&R or even the adam wst movie but thats there opinion and im cool with thatIt is not now and never has been about the validity of other peoples opinions. While I sincerely doubt I'd be able to relate to someone who prefers Nolan over Burton, I accept that some people do. What I cannot, will not and will never accept is that someone thinks of those films as precise equals. They're so different from one another that individual preference eventually has to creep in. One will eventually be seen as superior to the other. To suggest that they're exact equals when they're absolute opposites is an insult to everyone's intelligence and taste.
QuoteBut he went around for hours with that pain in his arm and finally wafted into St. Vincent?s hospital and discovered he was having a heart attack. This was in the early 1950s, I guess.Now that, my friends, is one tough SOB.
Quote from: Gotham Knight on Fri, 11 Jan 2008, 01:53I'd be there no matter what but I'd only freak out about it if Keaton came back to the role. I hope you're right but I just don't see it happening.
I wouldn't be so sure. Never say never. The buzz is after the Nolan Trilogy concludes. Burton plans on revisting the franchise in one way or another. Game Informer said he wanted to do another film.
Besides. It never hurts to dream.
