Compare & Contract Live-action Batman Films

With everyone getting exercised about Ben Affleck's depiction of Batman in the new trailer, but how does he go up against the other live-action Batmen? Try a range, going back to the humble origins of Adam West.

There was also an actor who played batman in the 30's film serials. They serials themselves may not have aged well, by he was the very first actor who played batman. – Aaron Hatch 10 years ago

The actor from the 30s serial was Lewis Wilson I believe. An interesting aspect the writer could take up is whether or not the actor in question creates a division between Bruce Wayne and Batman. For example Adam West does not really differentiate between Bruce or Batman. He uses the same voice, the same mannerisms, the only real difference is how he's dressed. But more modern Batmen like Bale change their voice. – Cagney 10 years ago

You could also take a look at how the portrayal of Batman affects the overall tone of the movie. For instance, Adam West's Batman series is kind of goofy and fun whereas Christian Bale's movies are very dark and intense. – ekeating 10 years ago

Dec 12, 2014 Hannah Spencer Really enjoyable article. I recently rewatched Mulholland Drive after several years, having watched it and totally not understanding it. This is an excellent analysis, and really helps in cracking its key themes open!	The Visualisation of Memory in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive

Oct 13, 2014 Hannah Spencer Great and comprehensive article. I also have found the insistence that Piper is identified as either “gay” or “not gay”, rather than anywhere in the middle seems oddly short-sighted and out of place for such a progressive show. Good work!	Orange is the New Black: Bisexual Erasure
