i always thought many of the leads weren't cast quite right in nolan's batman.
burton's batman had great casting

i think bale, neeson, both rachels and oldman were uninspired.
ledger, caine, freeman, cillian murphy, eric roberts, eckhart and hathaway were fine

wow, this may be the first time i saw any negative feedback of gary oldman as gordon! did you think his acting was bad, or just not believable as jim gordon?

For me it's Keaton. Bales Batman was too serious and uptight.

Christian Bale's biggest shortcoming was that his Batman voice was unintentional comedy, at times.
Michael Keaton's was that it just wasn't physically believable that he could pick anyone up by their lapels, especially Jack's fat ass.

The answer is Affleck.
