The Best Bruce Wayne Performances, Ranked

The Best Bruce Wayne Performances, Ranked

Ranked lists on Batman are always fun, but what about the man behind the mask? So many have criticized and compared the various Batman performances of actors over the years, yet so few look to the Bruce Wayne portion. Batman, while awesome, is rather one-dimensional compared to the headspace one has to have to play Bruce Wayne. From worst to best, here's a definitive ranking of the best Bruce Wayne performances based on the actors who played him in live action cinema.

6. George ClooneyGeorge Clooney's fleeting performance as Batman has never gotten a lot of love, and I can't say his performance as Bruce Wayne is any better. Sure, he's got the good looks, but there's not much else to love about Clooney's Wayne. His public persona is rather lacking, as evidenced by his television interview in Batman & Robin that he stumbled through in what feels like a Jeff Goldblum impersonation?

Now I know the scenes between George Clooney's Wayne and Michael Gough's Alfred have some appeal, but that's more a product of Gough's acting than anything. Most of the emotional weight in the scenes comes from Gough's delivery, while Clooney's Wayne has this smug smirk on his face seemingly inappropriate for a man so mentally scarred by the death of his parents that he's been driven to vigilantism. Without question, he's the gold standard for how not to play Bruce Wayne.

5. Adam WestThere's an argument that can be made that the late Adam West may be the best Bruce Wayne of them all, but that's not the case here. West's performance ranks above Clooney because he represents the classic Batman to a "t", and for all the Bat merchandising he did create he never went to the bank and got a credit card in his name.

Here's the thing though, Adam West's Bruce Wayne and Batman are practically identical. This makes it impossible to tell if the man is always on as Batman, or as Bruce Wayne. If it's the latter, then it's a damn good performance and worthy of a higher ranking on this list. Without a clear way of knowing, however, he's gonna have to hang out near the bottom with George Clooney.

4. Michael KeatonMichael Keaton's Bruce Wayne, while leagues above the aforementioned performances, is still somewhat lacking compared to the three above him. Keaton's Wayne has the brooding and anger down well enough, but can never really break out of that shell into the deeper personas of Bruce Wayne. He couldn't even chill out long enough to have an honest conversation with Vicki, and ended up shoving her and telling her to "shut up."

In truth, Michael Keaton's Bruce is perfect for the actual Bruce. It's a fine persona to have in the presence of Alfred, but a bit more problematic when dealing with the general public. After all, if the town's billionaire is always acting tough and staring down supervillains out of costume, people might put two and two together as to who he really is. It worked for Keaton's films, but is far from a perfect performance as Bruce Wayne.

3. Val KilmerBatman Forever may be one of the lesser films of the franchise, but Val Kilmer's performance as Bruce Wayne was actually pretty solid. While the actor could never reach the same level of acclaim for the Batman portrayal of his predecessor, Kilmer struck a better balance between Wayne in private and Wayne in public than Keaton ever could.

The public persona of Kilmer's Wayne is best showcased when he first met Edward Nygma. The professional nature, the boss-like attitude, the smile on his face despite his clear annoyance, that's the Bruce he puts out there for people to see. Conversely, the argument with Robin in the Batcave is much more unrestrained and more honest. Kilmer never quite reaches the intensity or sadness of the character, however, so I can only give him so much credit.

2. Ben AffleckThere are certainly shades of Michael Keaton's performance in Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne, but he saves that for Alfred or people that piss him off. He's capable of playing the billionaire Playboy rather well, but equally as capable of letting his gruff, no-nonsense personality show on a dime. The party scene between Clark and Bruce in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a great showcase of this, and exemplified the difference between Keaton and Affleck's Wayne.

The conversation started with Affleck trying to quickly end things with who he thinks is just some journalist. He cracked a joke to justify his attention to Diana, which falls in line with his playboy persona. Once Clark started taking shots at Gotham and Batman though, Bruce flips the script and let him know he didn't know what he was talking about. It's a brilliant scene that should have everyone crossing their fingers he'll return to the role.

1. Christian BaleWas there ever any question Christian Bale would top the list? His performance may have an unfair advantage considering he had three films to build his Bruce Wayne persona, but honestly, Batman Begins featured plenty of evidence he understood Batman's secret identity from the jump. The plot presented a clear understanding that Bruce must maintain a certain public persona to keep from arousing suspicion about his life as Batman and executed it perfectly with the hotel scene.

Christian Bale's performance doesn't just take the #1 spot for publicly displaying his extreme wealth and fake carefree persona either. Bale's Bruce almost appeared to be having fun, which ground to a halt after a chance reunion with Rachel Dawes. Bruce tried to keep the act up, but eventually dropped it and tried to show more of his true self to his old friend. It's the epitome of what it means to play Bruce Wayne, thus deserving of the top spot.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course, so those with different ideas on where each Bruce Wayne falls and whether Bale's performance surpasses even that of DC Comics' vision should share their thoughts in the comments below.

The 9 Funniest Moments In Black Panther

The 9 Funniest Moments In Black Panther

Spoiler Warning: Spoilers follow for Black Panther. Don't read unless you want to know all the jokes before you see the movie. I don't know why you'd do that, but you do you.

This week saw the beginning of Marvel's 2018 domination with the release of Black Panther, which is proper because this movie is already DOMINATING. It's the second highest Thursday opening for the MCU, surpassed only by Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is pretty crazy. The movie is critically beloved and judging by the early reactions, fans really like it, too. Not only is the movie overflowing with character thanks to the excellent production design, but it's a major blockbuster movie that's actually about something and feels impactful. And, of course, it's super funny.

Yes, it isn't enough for Black Panther to be incredibly handsome and charming, but it has to be funny too. Being a Marvel movie means it has to have jokes and the jokes in Black Panther are really good. It may not be Thor: Ragnarok levels of hilarity, but Black Panther has several laugh-out-loud moments that had my theater rolling, and I've collected some of the funniest right here. Obviously, humor is subjective, so share your favorite moments in the comments below!

I Never FreezeYou may remember this line from the trailer for Black Panther, in which T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) further cements what a badass he is before jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Okoye warns him not to freeze, only for him to scoff at the very thought. He's Black Panther! Well, turns out he does freeze after Nakia is held up at gunpoint and Okoye needs to bail him out. He must freeze a lot because Shuri (Letitia Wright) specifically asks him about it later. "Like an antelope in headlights," teases Okoye (Danai Gurira). No respect for the king.

Another Broken White BoyAt the end of Captain America: Civil War, Steve Rogers leaves Bucky Barnes at Wakanda so that the nation's super advanced science can find a way to remove his Winter Soldier programming. Many fans were wondering if Bucky would be showing up in some way, but he gets a very funny shoutout from Shuri. After Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) is brought to Wakanda to heal his spine injury, Shuri excitedly exclaims, "Another broken white boy to fix!" It's a nice reference that fans should catch pretty easily. Shuri's carving a little niche for herself.

SneakersBlack Panther utilizes the most advanced technology on the planet, all of which is developed by his sister, Shuri. Shuri manages to show off some impressive gadgets in her lab, but she might not be entirely great at naming them. After Shuri presents T'Challa with some slick Black Panther footwear, which will allow him to walk completely silently, Shuri knowingly says that she calls them "SNEAKers." Her winking look while waiting for T'Challa's reaction is priceless. Plus, those customizable sneakers are a sly Back to the Future reference.

WHAT ARE THOSE?!I almost had trouble hearing this one because my theater was laughing so loudly. While Shuri is preparing to show off some new tech to her brother, she suddenly shouts in mid-sentence, "What are those?!" She's referring to T'Challa's sandals, which he decided to wear for his coronation because they are old school. T'Challa has a pretty dope wardrobe in general, so you can hardly fault Shuri for gawking.

Don't Strike It That Hard!Shuri is also responsible for making the Black Panther suits, and she outdid herself with the latest batch. They absorb kinetic energy, store it, and then redirect it back out. It's a really cool (and cool looking) effect, and Shuri decides the best way to teach T'Challa this function is by example. She has him strike the suit, but he hits it way too hard. ("You didn't specify how hard.") She angrily goes to pick it up and tells him to strike the same spot again, taking out her phone. T'Challa questions why she's recording this, but plays along and is sent flying by the suit, his sister filming the whole embarrassing moment. "Delete that footage!" he shouts. Finally, a healthy sibling relationship in the MCU.

Honestly, Everything Else That Shuri SaysI probably could have saved myself some work and done this for all of Shuri's jokes, but she just has so many great jokes that they need to be singled out. The majority of the best lines in the movie come from Shuri, so here are a few of her honorable mentions: Flipping off T'Challa; Trying to hurry along T'Challa's ceremony so she could get out of her corset; and thinking she was going to Disneyland instead of Oakland. Here's to seeing more of Shuri in Avengers: Infinity War, where she hopefully has a scene with Tony Stark.

We're VegetariansMaybe the single biggest surprise in the movie is the charismatic portrayal of M'Baku (Winston Duke). At first, introduced as just a typical C-level bad guy, M'Baku appears later in the film to demonstrate some layers. Not only is he honorable and charming, but he's pretty damn funny to boot. During one of his most memorable scenes, he threatens to feed Everett Ross to his children. Seeing as how the Jabari tribe are mountain people who worship a gorilla god and they've done nothing but be jerks, we're inclined to believe him before he makes a quick about-face and delivers a perfect, "Just kidding. We're vegetarians."

Klaue's MixtapeFor some reason, I really do believe that Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), a weapons dealer and unremorseful murderer, at some point recorded a mixtape and posted it on Sound Cloud. During the South Korean casino scene, Klaue is in the process of selling some vibranium to Everett Ross, who makes a comment about Klaue arriving with his backup singers. Klaue offers to share their mixtape, and while he's probably joking, he's just insane enough that you can't quite tell. Now we're left to wonder forever if was lit or not. Maybe if Kendrick Lamar had something to do with it.

M'Baku Hates RossEverett Ross has it pretty tough in Black Panther. His sting goes sideways, he's shot in the spine, and he's almost killed by a plane while saving the world, so it doesn't help matters that M'Baku really seems to hate him. Later in the film, Shuri, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), Ramonda (Angela Bassett), and Ross seek M'Baku's help in defeating Killmonger, but he's really not into it. Ross tries to speak up and ease the matter, but M'Baku immediately begins barking. The rest of his tribe joins him and it only gets louder every time Ross tries to speak. Eventually, Ross takes the hint and shuts up.
