Media Solid Snake vs. Batman (BTAS, Arkham Games)

[FSLAR]

Nobody commanded dominance with the Batvoice like Conroy. I love Keaton's version to death, since I loved the atmosphere of the film and the look of the suit... but Conroy IS the ******* Batman.

I still remember being floored when I found out that Conroy and Hamill were voicing Arkham Asylum... I'm like "this is basically a continuation of BTAS!"

I wanna hear Conroy say that at some point, I need to!

I was ecstatic to hear both return to the Arkham games, and even Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn as well.

Sorkin is another one that cannot be replaced, ever. **** that ***** in Sewerside Squad.

I'm sorry but I will never understand the love for Keatons Batman. I like my Batman's smart, brutal and a decent detective. Not some S and M weirdo who just rolled out of a Hot Topic ready to defeat people with a Bat turn table.

Conroy
Bale
Weller

I may give you Keaton after that but even then I am more inclined to put the VA from Arkham Origins before him. Adam West shouldn't even be considered.

Did she retire in Arkham City, or something? I don't recall seeing an exact reason why Tara Strong replaced her...

Keaton is good, but I think he does get too much in the way of passes for **** like killing everyone, compared to Bale who rarely gets a pass.

Roger Craig Smith in Origins is pretty ok, but his voice really is just a deeper Chris Redfield which is saying something since his Ezio Auditore and Sonic are so distinct from Chris.

He investigated at least one crime scene in his movies so that's already more than Keaton. He also fixed the auto pilot in the Bat and is admittedly more intelligent than Lucas Fox. Not sure where the problem is.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Bale's biggest issue was that within two years, he blew out his knees

 

[Dylan]

Haha well man he is pretty active.

 

[GasparZizou]

Nooooo I wanted to vote for both but voted for Snake only

Anyway, I was going to voto for both and give the edge to Conroy just for longevity and cause he's more prolific.

My ninja.

My love for Keaton's Batman begins and ends with the costumes.

I used to believe the meme that Bale was a bad detective, until I watched the movies again, he's actually a pretty decent detective and decently smart, smarter that Keaton's Batman for sure, hell, even more than TAS Batman, he's just a retarded fighter.

But, he punch interrogated the Joker, and asked the same question over-and-over.

 

[Dylan]

Isn't that normally the case with Batman? I mean hell the CIA people ask "When's the last time you saw Bin Laden?" at least 50 times in Zero Dark Thirty and I think UBL was a little more important than Rachel.

 

[Jameson Rook]

[Dylan]

That was histarical

 

[Jameson Rook]

The Nostalgia Critic perfectly summarizes why I love Keaton (and Batman 89) more so than any live-action Batman flicks. I remember as a kid, I was terrified that Keaton didn't talked much, it was genuinely unsettling. Nowadays you have to explain everything with speeches about bandits and tangerines.

But, Batman is literally the "Greatest Detective in the World" . If villains aren't calling him Batman, they're calling him detective. He does put a lot of hurt on villains, but his sleuthing skills are second-to-none.

I think Nolan's Batman emphasized too much on the darkness of Batman's persona, without tapping too much into his intellectual capabilities. You brought up a good point that he fixed the Bat's autopilot when Lucius couldn't do it. But, would've been great to see that kind of ingenuity before.

Wherrrrssshh zha shiggga?! Wheeerrrissshh s**t?! Yuu wooden givveth to an ordinary s**ttishen. Wheeerrrissshh s**t?!

I think Batman was ultimately lost in Nolan's vision for Batman.

He does it in the comics, and he's done it in the best incarnation of Batman outside comics, the Arkham franchise, so it's good enough for Bale.

The sonar?

Between that an the autopilot Bale has objectively shown more intelligence than any previous live-action Batmen.

Sure his voice is stupid, his fighting worse, the sequels are questionable, but he wasn't the bad detective memes make out to be around here.

 

[Dylan]

Batman pretty much only uses his detective skills on dead bodies. When there is someone to ask he usually does and besides interrogation is a detective skill. Just go to any police station or watch any detective movie ever made.

 

[Solidus]

Batman sounds like he's possessed by Satan in that "7 languages" video .

In the last movie maybe, but previous to that he was a better Batman than Keaton, at least conceptually.

Maybe I'm only noticing it so just recently, but this guy is starting to sound real meme to me, I just can't take anything he says seriously anymore.

It's maybe just me but Keaton Batman no longer looks intimidating at all, less when he smiles, those huge cheeks an weird chin protruding from the cowl, just doesn't look right for Batman.

I do agree with your point Ryan that Nolan abuses exposition.
