I feel like ā€œbatman returnsā€ is my favorite of them all, I loved the penguins portrayal.

I am going to be killed for saying this… But I loved Man of Steel. The again I think that just tells people, what I think of the rest of the DC live action films.

I liked MoS, too.

Call me an old soul, but the best live-action DC Comics movie still came out over 30 years ago…Batman Returns (1992) IMO…and a shiny new Superman toy isn’t going to replace my favorite movie.

Mask of the Phantasm is great. Kevin Conroy is definitely my favorite Batman overall.

But I am only taking live-action into consideration, and I am much more of a Keaton Batman fan than a Bale fan even though I grew up with Bale’s Batman and Keaton’s Batman movies came out before I was born…I grew up watching his movies on TV and VHS.

Ah, I see. Personally, I view both live-action and animated as one continuous compendium of film, but on Keaton’s side of things if one is looking for a supernatural gothic take, then it encapsulates it well. I suppose it emphasizes the tragedy of Gotham’s inhabitants. Taking a peak at the advertising for Returns was one of the most humorous endeavors, simply for how it missed the mark in selling the film short tremendously.

Now looking back on the Bale era, if one still remembers, the hype surrounding The Dark Knight Rises rumors and how shattering it was when they were proven false? I believe the realm of fan-made posters/edits is beginning to be a lost art with this new age of A.I.
