When Wayne appears in public, he puts on the act of a billionaire playboy. Everyone thinks of him as a vaccuous, spoiled rich boy. This keeps people from believing he even remotely could be Batman (think of it this way, could you imagine that Paris Hilton actually goes out and fights crime at night???). Keaton captured Batman's pathos, but he never put on the facade of Wayne. He seemed like he was obsessive and disturbed at all times, regardless of whether or not he was in costume. Dude, I've never looked at it that way. I always knew that Clark Kent was a facade, but never thought of Bruce Wayne that way. Interesting. I guess that makes sense though, considering what he went through as a youth. Clark Kent was DEFINITELY a facade in the Silver Age version. In modern continuity, he's closer to his costumed counterpart (he just plays up the clumsiness to those not in the know). I recommend Frank Miller's Batman: Year One for some insight into the whole creation of Wayne as a cover for Batman. There's a great scene where Jim Gordon is investigating various rich guys who would have the money to fund Batman's crusade. When he meets with Wayne, he and his partner are pretty much willing to write him off as way too stupid to be Batman (although Gordon, being the good cop that he is, still has lingering suspicions). Great stuff!!!

I thought Clark Bartram did a good job as Batman... he has the right costume, and physique... we'll see if Hollywood's next interpretation comes close. I do like O'Hearn's height. 6'3 is great for Superman. Not sure if he should be as beefy though. You never know  . I kind of keep up with what's going on in the bodybuilding world, and I know Mike has been trying to get into film for some time. If he can act, more power to him.  Well, Mark Millar is pretty insistent that James Caviziel has already been cast as Supes (and he was dead-on about Bryan Singer, so I'm thinking it just might be true). Guess we'll still have to wait and see. In a related note, looks like a young Clark Kent may have a cameo in BB: http://www.superherohype....hp?id=1911

 . The whole thing was fun to watch though.Michael O'Hearn just had an audition for the new Superman film: http://www.superherohype....hp?id=1952 Be interesting to see if he gets it. I thought Clark Bartram did a good job as Batman... he has the right costume, and physique... we'll see if Hollywood's next interpretation comes close. 'World's finest' is a cool little trailer, pity there isn't going to be a real movie. 'Batman: Dead End' is fricking great too!  | |
