A few things on this convo:
1. Clooney was **** as Batman. Period. It wasn't the tone of the movie that made him a bad Batman, it was his wooden acting.
2. BF is still the only Bats movie to really nail Bruce's character, imo, as well as his duality with his alter ego.
3. Returns is better than '89 because Christopher Walken makes everything better. And Keaton had way better chemistry with Michelle than Kim B.
4. How we be talking Batman soundtracks without mentioning the R. Kelly gem Gotham City?

. Screw Seal and U2.
