I like Bale Batman.

What I don't like is the "new is better" mentality. There's merit to be found in those other interpretations, even if they're not "serious". Since when has a little bit of fun or silliness been a bad thing? Why are these future generations so uptight about lightheartedness and humor? It's like if it's not dark, brooding, and cynical it's bad and silly. Sure, half of those takes are garbage, but West and Keaton? They're atleast on par with Bale in terms of the "what I take seriously/what's legit" scale.

And Reeve Superman has been featured in some pretty silly films but he always retained this sense of sincerity in the role that the others lacked. His character and personality alone carried those movies.

If you want to generalise someone's opinion to a 'mentality' that's your choice. I like what I like and there's examples of where I like older things more than newer things. I still think the 90s TAS Spider-man cartoon is genuinely better than any of the five films we have now for spider-man. I still think the original star wars trilogy are better blockbusters than most we see today.

But overall, yeah I think most of what has come after has been better than what came before when it regards comic book based material. that's not to say older incarnations are insincere, but they're dated and to a guy born in '89 that matters (especially a lot of CB based ilms also just don't hold up imo, whereas a lot of older films do). The only reason I said it was in response to Crows' picture essentially stating WW never had any of those many versions (except one). Well my response is that she did not miss out imo if I look at most of what her fellow JL colleagues got.

However, if she misses out now, in this seeming heyday of CB based movies, that would really be ridiculous imo.

Reeve Superman was likable and had heart. New guy, on the other hand. . .he looks right. No doubt, modern advances in HGH have done wonders for giving us more comic accurate physiques.
