    The only way to make a remotely good Batman movie is to make it about the Joker.

    Plenty of good stories to tell without repeating the Joker again.

    Yep, Batman Begins and Batman Returns are great non Joker Batmans.

    Although, remove Heath Ledger's Joker from the Dark Knight and that movie wouldn't be half as good.

    @Kirwan Pattinson is a decent actor, just not sure he has the presence Batman should command...

    How’s this for a weird fact, he’s older than Bale when he did Batman Begins.

    There’s only been two good Batman’s. Christian Bale and Adam West. Every single other one has been various shades of absolutely shit.

    Michael Keaton was good, a surprise casting too at the time.

    Bat Keaton is the pinnacle to which all others aspire

    His work in The other guys is his best.

    But yes compared to Affleck, Keaton and Clooney he was exceptional.

    Cold Pursuit...another in the line of Liam Neeson needing to get revenge on someone.

    2 dead bodies thrown off an icy waterfall out of 5 fucked if I know why I watched this to the end.

    I thought this was great and I think you've miss sold it to anyone out there thinking it might be like Taken, when in fact it's Fargo with Liam Neeson. But it took me a while to figure out it wasn't one of his normal ones.

    Personally, I found it very humorous. It was worth the $10 I paid to see it so I was happy.

    I can't figure Neeson out. His acting in Schindlers List is nothing short of sensational but did he figure it was smarter to go for the easy route of playing the same "washed up but has some old school skills" character in every movie instead ?

    Compare his output to Daniel Day Lewis's for example.

    At least Neeson isn't grossly overrated.

    @MN5 Maybe he likes making money? Following the Michael Caine philosophy of that movie paid for that house.

    Although, I’ve heard him on the Empire podcast say that he genuinely likes making action films.

    Pretty rough. DDL is quite the actor. Who is better ? ( all opinion of course )
