Considering Snake pretty much does not speak in that scene, Seil, I'm not sure that's a good example to use for Hayter = Snake.

I may be egged for this but I don't mind Bales Bruce Wayne.

Seil · 05-26-2010, 02:48 PM

I agree with Mac.

Then again, it might be a generation thing - I've never really seen the Batman TV show.

Hayter's just a voice. His image sure doesn't make me think of Snake. Also, is he Solid Snake or Big Boss?

Likewise, Bale's voice may be what gets him the most attention as Batman (old link, I know, but still funny). I'm not sure he's much better than West or Keaton.

When it comes down to the voice. Kevin Conroy hands down is the voice for Batman.

Real life Joker to me is Ledger. Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson have nothing on him. Granted I am not a Nicholson fan so that may be part of it.

I put Keaton in another league to Bale because Bale's performance has no subtlety whatsoever. Bale plays Bruce Wayne as on a knife-edge, wracked with pain and guilt- someone who would obviously be Batman. Keaton disguises it when he's in Wayne mode- you cann still see the hurt but it's hidden. Bale's performance is terrible.
West is out in crazy crazy town.

I always thought the Ledger joker didn't really do Joker justice. His laugh was one of the worst for a Joker laugh. I thought, aside from Hamil as the best Joker Voice of all time.(He was The Trickster in that godawful Flash show though) that Nicholson caught the spirit of what the Joker is fairly well.

Also, Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian, he can't be nothin else!

I also much preferred Nicholson's joker to Ledger's- Ledger's joker wasn't as charismatic as I've always seen the Joker.

Errol Flynn is Robin Hood and there's no getting around that. And Neil Patrick Harris is Dr. Horrible.

And this is probably a generational thing because I've never seen a classic Doctor Who episode before, but David Tennant is The Doctor and nothing will ever change that for me.
