[The Dark Knight]

In many ways, I think he's the continuation of Keaton's Batman, or what Burton would be doing with the character these days.

In what sense? 

I'm not disagreeing with you, as long as you don't argue that Eisenberg's Luthor is akin to what Burton would have done.  Burton has always shown affinity with outsiders and oddballs.  He wouldn't demonise them.  IMHO Burton would have made Lex Luthor more like Max Shreck (who in many ways is loosely based on the traditional Luthor).

What part of him invoking Keaton, Batman and Burton makes you think he was referring to Eisenberg or Lex Luthor?

Yeah, I'm talking about Batman here.

I agree with TDK about the evoking of Keaton's Batman. Actually that was one of the first things I said to a buddy of mine following the first time I watched BvS. Something to the effect of; "Affleck's Batman reminds me of Keaton's Batman, you know? No one rule. If he decides he's taking you out, you're sh*t out of luck!"

I don't think I'd be off the mark if I say Affleck's Batman can be described as a cross between Frank Miller and Tim Burton's interpretations.

Yep. With elements of Kingdom Come. Great mix of interpretations.

It does seem like Affleck was the closest to play the loner Bruce Wayne since Keaton. Where I noticed a distinct comparison is the dialogue; his lines weren't overly long, he didn't give speeches or monologue, other than talking to Alfred he spoke in short sentences getting right to the point (likely realizing the more words he uses, the more words which can be used against him). I enjoyed that, it makes him more mysterious.

I would suggest that we could try to get that number out there among the publicized scores since this is a long running community of die hard fans of diverse tastes who largely loved it, but the Batman-Online twitter account's little diatribes have established the site's image as anti-BvS and especially anti-Snyder regardless of what the overwhelming majority of users on the site have said. I don't really care who I offend by saying that was bullsh*t and irresponsible and should have been kept to a personal account. But whatever, iit's over and done with.

Back to Ben's Bat, the comparisons to Keaton are interesting and really accurate. Maybe that's why I loved his version more, he did what Michael did so well and added more layers, the Frank Miller Bat and what not (I felt like Kevin Conroy's BTAS and Arkham Bats were in there a little bit too and he's my fave fave), and thats why Ben and Zack have done my favorite live action Batman. Which I don't doubt for a second that Michael or Val or George or Christian could have nailed this Bat too if their scripts and Tim or Joel or Nolan's vision had called for it. So I don't love those versions or performances any less than I already did (not possible with Nolan anyway lol). I just love this one more. Make sense?

The Twitter account has had overwhelmingly positive posts about the film. I don't see the issue in me expressing my opinion, since I run the thing. Also I have asked for and shared reviews from anyone.

Ok. I apologize then cause I hadn't seen those.

Deep down, I have to admit Keaton will always be my favourite. He's my childhood. But I definitely think Affleck is the best.
