Personally I wanted to see Keaton as Gordon. Drop the 'stache on him and I think he could give Gary Oldman a run for his money. I like the idea of all three, Gordon, Dent and Batman being the only three guys who could possibly do what they did. Each one is wound pretty tight, and you have to be damn near crazy to be the lone honest cop in Gotham. Always liked Miller's fight between Gordon and Flass shame we've never seen it on the screen. I've long held the belief Burton can't do anything that isn't blank enough to put his own stamp on. The more vague the source material the better off he is. If it's his own creation I simply can't watch it, I find myself wondering if I can somehow reach behind the camera of the movie and dump Burton's books. He turned the Penguin into a child murderer, I feel I'm justified in my want there. Always liked Chuck Dixon's take on him, He's old money & privilege run amok.
As always Heff thanks for the Mask of The Phantasm love, warms my heart. As for Robert Whul? Check out "Assume the Position", I wish I had history teachers that good.
