This one is easy for me. The Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy.
I actually really liked the original Batman as well. I thought Keaton did great as the Caped Crusader.
though it was certainly over the top and zany cheesy, i did like Tim Burton's versions Batman and Batman Return ... that was it until Christopher Nolan arrived with two
really awesome darker serious versions.. especially dark Knight !! there has never been a superhero movie with such incredible constant twists and turns in the story write and plots,.. i never what was coming next.
Then you take Heath Ledgers' masterful Oscar winning performance - and he did- he pulled that over with ruthlessness, unmerciful, creepy-spooky, weird sense of humor but ever uncanny clever and diabolical sinister character who was still so smooth and calm in how he carried out his ruthless murderous tricks and plans ...and i loved the pace and flow of the movie as well, Another plus for Christian Bale performance ( though i was annoyed by the harsh " disguised " voice) the only other thing i didn't like
about Dark Knight was for someone that was trained under the Ninja ways ( see batman the beginning) i would have thought there should have been much mmore cooler, bad kick-azzz gadgets and fighting choregraphy, that displayed ninjutsi; disappearing one spot to another, smoke powders, gadgets that allowed him to walk walls, somethin impressive enough to make the audience go Wooo, aaah and wow ! otherwise the fighting scenes were very ordinary and bland for a dark knight film, imo
i didn't care for Rachel either as i thought Bruce Wayne's love interest would be drop dead gorgeous - and not plain jane such as Maggie Gyllenhaal. i hate to admit that i didn't feel it when she bought the farm as a hostage.
But otherwise it was such an awesome classic vastly unique movie for all ages.
as far as Bruce Wayne, there's Adam West, Keaton and Bale ...and absolutely no one else !! (Cooney ? Kilmer ? really? ..How did they dare become top choices i wondered)
