If you're talking Batman then I think Keaton is the best film version.
I like Bales Batman films but they are too grounded in reality too truly capture that comic essence.
I find him really dry as an actor, too static and serious.
I think Keaton has an everyday feel about him but also a psychotic edge. And he doesn't have to do the annoying "I'm Batman" gravely voice.
