I actually agree. I liked Romero. When Batman with Nicholson came out, people loved his Joker.

For some reason when Heath did it, some people felt they had to shite on previous Jokers to somehow prop Heath on a pedestal.

Keaton Batman was a bridge from the Campy show to the big screen. Burton wanted to have some elements of the original series without going quite that far. Just seems like each subsequent movie, tried to move closer to the tv series.

You can still like past Jokers and love Heath more. Don't have to be hatin on Nicholson.

Agreed. I think its mostly younger people who aren't old enough to remember the impact of this movie that praise Ledger so much. Nicholson, and Cesar Romero before him, were both great.

I prefer Nicholson's to Ledger's. Ledger was unpredictable and violent, and liked to pit people against each other to elicit the worst out of them. He wanted to watch the world burn.
Nicholson was a different type of insane, he wasn't watching from a distance, he was already burning and he was going to gleefully burn the rest of the world too.

I remember that. Everyone loved Jack and really loved Keaton.

Then the new kids come along and everything back then is deemed campy or bad.
