[the truth]

Not sure what movies you've all been watching, but Bales batman was the best ever and the most successful series of films. Kilmer was too dull, Clooney just didn't work, chris odonnell was woeful as robin....But bales trilogy has been fantastic

The most successful ever, both critically and financially.
The support cast with caine, oldman, freeman
also other superb actors, liam neeson, tom Wilkinson, rutger hauer, anne hathway, heath ledger, aaron eckart, eric Roberts, tom hardy, matthew modine...all superbly directed by Nolan. If theres a weakness id say more female characters are needed.

Theres different ways to play him, I do agree keating was superb. But in terms of the movies, this trilogy was epic. Bale is possibly the best actor in the world right now. I love the bloke.
