I'M BATMAN!

Holy billionaire bank accounts Batman!
Which superhero happens to be my personal favorite? Could it be the billionaire C.E.O of Wayne Enterprises, Master Bruce Wayne? But of course it is! Living in a mansion, driving expensive cars and having a personal butler is my true definition of superpowers! Who wouldn't need a hot cup of Tieguanyin tea and a silver tray of beluga caviar after fighting crime?

Throughout the years, many actors have attempted to fill the utility belt of the Capped Crusader but unfortunately many have fell short of expectation. Adam West was the famous Batman of the good old days. Aside from the rubber sharks and the less than appealing wardrobes, you have to appreciate a classic. The 1966 series only lasted for three seasons but the term, "To the Batcave!" will live on forever!

My personal favorite Batman film was the 1989 version. Bruce Wayne will forever be Michael Keaton in my book. I can remember attending a showing in the theater as a child. Crowds were amazed by the new Batmobile upgrade. Jack Nicholson played the Joker and did a superb job at that. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role. According to Variety Magazine, Michael Keaton was asked if he was envious of Ben Affleck's role as the new Bruce Wayne in the next Batman vs Superman movie. He responded in true Micheal Keaton fashion and said, "No. Do you know why? Because I’m Batman. I’m very secure in that.” Could his response be anymore Bruce Wayne like? I can picture Alfred standing beside him whispering in his English accent, "Well said sir."

One former Batman star did express some jealousy over Affleck's new role. Christian Bale was the latest actor to play the part of Batman in the Dark Knight trilogy. US Weekly reported that Bale stated, "The fact that I’m jealous of someone else playing Batman… I think I should have gotten over it by now."
I don't believe that Mr. Bale will have any problems finding a job beyond the Batman legacy, he is currently playing Moses in the new Exodus flick.

Look out for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice coming to theaters in 2016 and check out Fox's new hit series Gotham!
