You actually thought that "Batman & Robin" was the best Batman flick!?!?
Ack! BE GONE, DEVIL SPEW!
The series has just gone downhill since Burton left (sniff).
Casting Arnold as Mr. Freeze was just plain blasphemy! Christopher Lloyd would have been a far superior choice for Freeze. If you look at the Mr. Freeze from "Batman: the Animated Series" and compare that with Lloyd's Judge Doom from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" you'll understand what I mean. Mr. Freeze is the kind of guy that's supposed to creep you out and get under your skin (Lloyd excells at that), not some musclebound Austrian in a doofy over-the-top RoboCop wannabe suit.
I think any fan of the comic, Burton's FAR SUPERIOR Bat-films, and the Animated Series will agree with me.
And as for Clooney and *shuddderrrrrr* Kilmer, they just stunk. They're both too much on the pretty boy side of the Hollywood casting pool. Keaton had more of an average Joe kind of look going for him which worked nicely to juxtapose Bruce Wayne's public face with his rubber-clad  "Let's make Jack Nicholoson fall from the tallest building in town" crime-fighting alter-ego. I say bring Keaton back for another go at the Bat. Sure, he's an old fart now, but if they can make Sean Connery look like he has a full head of hair (for reference, please watch "The Rock," "Entrapment," and "Finding Forrester") they can make Keaton look twenty years younger EASILY.
Come on guys, back me up here!
