Best Batman Takedown

[The Dark Knight]

Rick Zumwalt's expression when he sees the bomb, and then Keaton's smile... priceless 

Agreed. I don't care what people say about Batman's grin, it works perfectly for the scene.

Here, here!

Mine would have to be the 'You missed' clown. No one knew what to expect, then, 'yank', 'thud!'. Speargun - Don't leave home without it! 

[The Dark Knight]

Yes, another case of a cocky thug getting his just desserts.

If this counts as a takedown, I love the part where Batman burns the Devil. Talk about getting a taste of your own medicine!

I consider that a takedown. And indeed - if he thinks burning stuff is acceptable, it's good enough for him as well.

I like the "you missed" just because it's a total Batman takedown, quick, swift and unexpected. Be it Keaton or whatever, I could always see any Batman doing something like that.

Same. I've always liked how he just stared and walked away.

Yeah, Keaton just staring briefly and then walking away was a nice touch. It could be a "hero-meets-girl" moment with a wisecrack/oneliner.

I've always been thinking that the Kilmer Batman would try to outwit her, the Clooney Batman try to score a "hit" with her, while the Bale Batman would literally hit her, growling, when she tried to say "thanks".

"while the Bale Batman would literally hit her, growling, when she tried to say "thanks".  "

LOL, good one. You now, after all these years, Keaton still tops the other actors to don the cape and cowl. It's a testament to how great and sublime his performance was.
