Member Back to Top Post by Mozenrath on It's a fascinating movie to me. You can see remnants of what had to be tons of rewrites.



It's like two hours long, but doesn't tend to feel it since there's something always going on. Does each subplot get the right amount of development? NOPE, they have like 3-4 too many, but that, too, is kinda fascinating.



Val Kilmer seems to be doing some sort of Adam West impression as Wayne in some scenes, mostly with his halting delivery.



Bruce and Alfred solving riddles together is somewhat silly in its way, and they probably should have had Dick sitting with them, too, even if he wasn't much help, but it was also kinda sweet to see them spending time together.

That ramble of a sentence is my best explanation of my feeling of his performance after 20 daggone years. I've always felt that Kilmer was the best fit for a Bruce Wayne character. He plays the "I'm a rich socialite who totally has nothing sneaky about me" coyness on such a degree of almost giving it away at times but nailing it when necessary.That ramble of a sentence is my best explanation of my feeling of his performance after 20 daggone years.

I feel like Kilmer was the best at playing public Bruce Wayne, Keaton was the best at private Bruce. I feel like Kilmer was the best at playing public Bruce Wayne, Keaton was the best at private Bruce.
