Who's the better Batman and Joker overall. Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson vs Christian Bale and Heath Ledger.
Ima have to go with both Michael Keaton and Heath Ledger. My resaons are that between the two actors, Keaton handled the role of Batman better with his low voice, and physical appearance which came off as being borderline psychotic and frightening .Not to mention the original suit is badass. Dont believe me, just look at the original scenes again when Batman addresses himself as "I'm Batman". See who did better between the two actors in that sequence though both scenes are great. Not to mention the suit looks better in Tim Burtons films overall. As for Nolan's movies, Ledger trumps Nicholson as Joker. Nicholson was great as a psychotic version of the character who had tasteless humor and took over Gotham and manipulated its citizens easily. With Ledger's Joker, you felt the issue of escalation being addressed at the end of Begins occurring and unlike Nicholsons Joker, Ledger was presented as an individual who didnt care for morals and just wanted to see the world burn. He didnt need to have any motives or background. He was who he appeared to be, and that made for a more frightening character than Nicholsons brilliant adaptation
Overall, ima have to go with Michael Keaton and Heath Ledger as being the best portrayal of the two main characters.
