You can tell a lot about a person by the Batman he sides with. Most of us nowadays are probably going to go with Christian Bale, right? I mean he (and Nolan’s world) captured the Dark Knight in a way that really raised the franchise to previously unimagined heights (at least in terms of widespread acclaim).

But then again, I love me my Michael Keaton. He’s the Batman I grew up with after all and his snarling utterance of “I’m Batman” just edges out Bale’s growling utterance of “I’m Batman” in my book.

In the last week we’ve also talked to both Adam West (more on that soon) and Val Kilmer (stay tuned for an amazing discussion of the bat nipples) but much as I love them, they’re kind of also-rans in this superhero contest, right?

And the whole lot of us are looking at it the wrong way, "Chasing Amy" director Kevin Smith insisted.

"'Justice League' feels like it's an all-star movie to begin with and maybe they're kind of wise to cast it with unknowns," the director, who occasionally moonlights as a comics writer told MTV News. "It's not like you can put Brad Pitt in it and he's gonna be more important than f---- Batman. Or Superman. Like the characters themselves are the f---- stars of that movie. It's tricky to cast those roles - give a bunch of people a break."
