I'd have to say George Clooney was the worst and I can't remember, was he in the one with Alicia Silverstone? I will never understand why they chose her to play Bat Girl, wasn't there anyone else available? I think I've only seen bits and pieces of that one and Uma Thurman kind of stole the show in that. She was good Poison Ivy!<br /><br />Michelle Pfieffer was probably my favorite Cat Woman, Halle Berry was okay, not the best, but gorgeous and her abs were amazing! I'm not sure how I feel about Anne Hathaway, I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not sure. I like her and when they first said she was going to do it, I thought it was a good idea, but then when I saw the previews, I kinda changed my mind.<br /><br />Oh and Jack Nicholson, hands down the best Joker from any of the movies! I never saw the one with Heath Ledger, I'm sure he was amazing, but I'm always for the classics.<br /><br />If I were a parent, I don't think I'd let my young children watch those movies. They are pretty violent. I won't let them watch Spiderman either. What is this new movie rated? It's definitely not rated G! I did watch the TV show when I was a kid though.<br /><br />Well, honestly, I am still in shock over what happened last weekend. Every time I hear about it or see that guy on TV, all I can do is shake my head and think about that 6 year old little girl, her poor mother, and the picture of her father afterward. I refuse to even mention that monster's name!<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Take care!<br /><br />Sarah<br />http://skylarinc.blogspot.com/Skylar Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588844747883544815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-80675551413333449012012-07-27T00:18:42.113-07:002012-07-27T00:18:42.113-07:00First time here, thanks to ABC!

You really did your research, and I love the idea of interacting with kids re: the series. Never did understand how "BIFF" became an action word!<br /><br />I once met Julie Newmar (for my money, the best Catwoman) in Hollywood. She was sooooo tall. My favorite Batman memory? Seeing Christian Bale's take on the role and watching Heath Ledger obviously having the time of his all-too-short life playing the Joker. Truly, two great actors, and one lost to soon, but still, their acting is excellent.
