Clooney is a great actor. He's done several roles in which I particularly enjoyed him. B&R, however, not only was he miscast, but he didn't feel like he fit the part.

Kilmer, I liked, but it was clear that in Forever, they were ALSO going with a different version of Bruce Wayne. While the movie shared continuity (I think), Bruce was more contemplative than brooding.

Bale, I first saw in Equilibrium. He did a great job with that, and I had high hopes for him. And he didn't disappoint in my opinion. He played morose Wayne, Playboy Wayne, vindictive Wayne, etc. with a convincing demeanor.

I mean, it doesn't hurt that I liked the way he was played up in the movie. Alfred reminding him that people would start asking questions about that reclusive Bruce Wayne, the almost MAcchiavellian way he goes about some things, and a Batman who actually fights smart. These are good things. The supporting cast was some of the best I've ever seen. And Ras A Ghul is a great character (Now that I know more about him).

I only hope the next one is as awesome. Because I'd hate to get another B&R after something that good. Begins may be my favorite super hero movie ever.
