There are exceptions, like Gary Oldman and Michael Caine have given some insightful interviews lately. But I think a lot of what makes Bale a really interesting actor is also what makes me cringe when I read interviews with him.<BR/>Furthermore, I'm totally against this bashing of previous Bat-incarnations every time someone delivers a good Batman story. The last Schumacher film was a gaudy mess, sure, but George Clooney brought something worthwhile to Batman. Clooney's take might not be right for Nolan's moody films, but if someone wanted to do a cinematic take on Grant Morrison's Batman--the one who has a sci-fi closet (see: http://bp1.blogger.com/_S9-4uUert1c/RlCr04sMd6I/AAAAAAAAAAM/IoyvYqwR80s/s320/dalek2.jpg or JLA: Classified #1)--then Clooney might be yr man.Emmet Mathesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059517140681142767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400372.post-87214854555323666092008-07-08T15:58:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:58:00.000-07:00I totally agree.

I've never understood when people call Batman:TV a spoof. To me, it was more like the comic than anything (we should remember that Bats has gone through some periods of cheeziness) I think in these new movies, there is a bit of Batman Animated in there. At least in some regards. Not in storytelling though there was some pretty heavy stuff in that show but it keeps that kind of tone if you catch my drift. Great post. I'm going to have to go read that article though I've learned never to listen to actors talk about comic book characters (I guess Nick Cage would have some expertise but look at what he did with Ghost Rider)dubsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970595982543554383noreply@blogger.com
