Clooney was atrocious too.
Physicality aside I really liked Keaton's portrayal of Batman. I think he nailed the character in terms of playing the dark brooding side AND the borderline psychotic side. He played it with more of an edge. Flame me if you want but I still like Keaton's Batman the most with Bale a VERY close second.

I remember the uproar when he was cast for Batman, wasn't too far after Beetlejuice.

Bale has potential but something about Keaton's aura, presence and mood worked well.

That's why Keaton is still...my number one...n'GUY!

(I didn't think Bale was even close to Keaton)

i would say hayden christensen as anakin skywalker, but that character was written very very gay, so he was probably the perfect choice.

See that Turban?

Pitt sucked along with the rest of the bad acting.

I liked 2 fight scenes in the movie and that's it.

Thanks!
Your original post on the matter was:
TROY sucked but Brad Pitt was great for that role. (post 69)

Therefore, you suck.
