yeah i said it, he fucked up the whole batman movement! i mean id rather watch the tv episides batman from 60's than michael keaton fucking up the whole movie. one bad fruit in the basket n shit u know?
It's funny you mention the 60's T.V. series. I love those & actually own all three seasons on DVD.
But it sounds to me like you have an image of Batman being a bright character much like the old T.V. series, but Batman is much more like the one portrayed in the 1989 movie staring Michael Keaton.
I understand your disagreement due to feeling like that for a long time until I understood it much more.
The later ones with Val Kilmer & George Clooney were in fact in attempt to make it more colorful & bright like the old T.V. series. Yet, semi dark.
The Dark Knight trilogy are awesome IMO though.
