Batman and Christopher Nolan Impact / Films - Cinema

George Clooney as Bruce Wayne...Batman? Maybe if Steven Soderbergh was the film director, but no way in one of Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' flicks; that'll be the day.

I'm just having fun; everything is permissible in Hollywood movies.

* Nolan's more serious approach with 'The Dark Knight' trilogy is what makes its charm, its higher level of attraction, entertainment with a real "punch". IMO

'Thor' trilogy? Only the last one has real verve, and all because of Hela...Cate Blanchett and Led Zeppelin's tune. IMO ...Without Cate 'Thor: Ragnarok' wouldn't rock so much...and Zeppelin of course. And yes, in 3D it's the best.

Speedo Man? Emma Stone's kissing him upside down? Yeah, that was cool.

'Superman Returns' (2006) was 2D with Kevin Spacey (Lex, the villain) and Brandon Routh (Superman).

Hugh Jackman is Logan, the wolverine. He's in enough movies, he's no Batman from Nolan, simply mission impossible. IMO

Christian Bale ('American Psycho') is the perfect Nolan's Batman, and with Heath Ledger as the Joker was a tour-de-force. ...The best.

** [Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, both are in 'The Prestige' ...a Christopher Nolan's film.]

Liam Neeson is more fitting of the Charles Bronson's type of flicks, as a vigilante.

'Die Hard' is inseparable of Bruce Willis. Liam is just a too serious actor, 'Die Hard' is for hard core humor fans.

The Bourne saga? It's for that guy who always get lost...Matt Damon. ...Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Interstellar, ...
Liam is just too tall to disappear. Tom Cruise he can disappear...mission not impossible.
Jack Reacher? The first one was cool, then it went ...

Well I liked the last Thor and the spiderman with Emma Stone. Also superman returns was good in 3D, and I thought George Clooney was a natural Bruce Wayne. I think Hugh Jackman would have made a very good Wayne. I had to get used to the idea of Bale as Wayne, seemed weird to have the Batman so short, poor chin.

That said Nolan's Batman movies were better movies though too serious and too heavy for super hero movies, taking out the super hero element often. I still maintain Liam Neeson was the best performer. I like him. Taken was a **** movie but he was awesome and turned it into an entertainer. It made me think what it would be like had he starred in my favorite action man thrillers - die hard, Bourne ultimatum, or as Jack Bauer. His later movies have been poor though.

About that guy from 'The Matrix', the one, John Wick, as Batman?
No way, he's Canadian (citizenship), and he doesn't shave.

And 'Collateral'.

Superman returns you had the option to watch the movie in cinema where the superman scenes would be in 3d. Rest in 2d

Oh, I didn't know that, cool.

Hey, movies and music and wines and paintings and cars and shoes and ... are different strokes for different folks.
Me I think Tom Cruise excelled in Michael Mann's 'Collateral'. ...One of his best role/performance.
And I'm not alone on this:

Joaquin Phoenix is playing the joker in a joker origin movie next year. As an actor he is far superior to heath streak, hope the movie is directed well

It remains to be seen. Me I think that it's going to be impossible to dislodge the Joker (Heath Ledger) from 'The Dark Knight'.

Yes, the few scenes of him with his face disfigured was a nice Batman touch...way of speech.

It reminded me a little of ...just a little.

A classic for sure. I remember @ the theater when it first came out.
