Honestly I wasn't the biggest fan of Bale in The Dark Knight. I'm quite a fan of both the new Batman movies, but I believe Bale's acting lacked compared to the first one, though I will say the movie did focus on the villains a lot more than Batman. To me Bale should've been considered the supporting actor and Ledger the Leading role. But because it's a Batman movie obviously that wouldn't make sense.

And one reason I'm not as big a fan of Burton and his batman association is that he helped out with Batman Forever.... horrible.. movie.

Asmoday - I don't think you're a poseur, just that Burton gets more credit than he deserves just for putting his name on something... that's all. I mean he's good, he just gets credit for other people's work sometimes.
