I remember a lot of disgruntled comic book nerds, not unlike today's usual suspects, who complained that Mr. Mom could never be Batman. The only difference is back then they saw the movie and changed their minds instead of going to their graves pretending they were right.

Sums up what I've said myself before - what I really like about Keaton's Wayne is the childlike element. At heart, he's still the ten year old boy standing in that alleyway.

And it's what makes him and Nicholson's Joker such good foils for each other. This Joker is a child as well, really. But he's the kind who pulled wings off flies and shoved smaller kids over because it was funny, and never cared if he got in trouble for it.

That's a great post. Batman's not my favorite superhero, but I think he's at his best as a fundamentally vulnerable figure. And Keaton's self-effacing screen presence and ability to whipsaw convincingly between emotions really carries the role.
