They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given.

(1997) "I felt I disappointed a lot of older fans by being too conscious of the family aspect.... Now, I owe the hardcore fans the Batman movie they would love me to give them."

[on how she got her most famous role, Catwoman on "Batman" (1966)] I had lived in New York at the time on Beekman Place. I remember it was a weekend, Friday or Saturday, and my brother had come down from Harvard with five or six of his friends, and we wer...

I love doing the voice of Batman because of the quality of the animation. The music is particularly incredible. Another bonus is getting the opportunity to work with some very respected actors who do not usually do voice work.

He [Bruce Wayne] is Batman. He became Batman the instant his parents were murdered. Batman needs Bruce, however hollow that identity feels to him from time to time. Bruce keeps Batman human. On Michael Keaton -

Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn`t really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He`s not from another planet,...
Christopher Nolan
[on his being passed over for Tim Burton`s 1989 Batman (1989)] I cried for an hour, but then I was okay. I wanted it! I don`t know. I figured that`s their business and they have a film in mind. I`ve already done it. I`ve done my Batman. Look, do you want ...

Adam West
[On using CGI in Batman Begins] "I think there`s a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal, I know I`ve felt it. The demand we put on ourselves was to be as spectacular as possible, but not depend on computer graphics to do it....
Christopher Nolan
[About working with Jack Nicholson on Batman (1989)] "By the time Jack walks onto the set, he feels very clear and strong about the character. So when you`re shooting it`s great, because that`s when you toy around with the levels of how broad to go."
Tim Burton
On playing the Riddler in "Batman" (1966): "When I was first approached to play the Riddler, I thought it was a joke. Then I discovered the show had a good script and agreed to do the role.... Now I am in love with the character. I developed the Riddler`s...

[Discussing the character of Batman]: Batman is a bit of a loner. He`s very intuitive and, while the rest of the Justice League are using their super powers, he uses his detective skills to get to the heart of the matter and, in this case, help save the w...

I think this one has more electronics in it than anything else.. I didn`t want to do straight orchestra because Batman, he`s not a straight character. I mean where do you get those wonderful toys from and the technology? So I thought I could embrace a bit...

I did `Batman` for two reasons, one of which was the salary. The other was that, after the first few episodes, `Batman` became the in-thing to do. Everybody...would either play a villain or appear as himself in that cameo showcase where a celebrity would ...

On his decision not to reprise his role as Batman in Batman Forever (1995): "I was waiting in line for another movie and just kind of poked my head in... watched about 10 minutes. I saw enough to know that I made the right decision."

Comparing making Batman Returns (1992) to the first "Batman" film: "In some ways, this one was harder, because I felt like I was doing an impersonation of myself. Which, aside from being nearly impossible, is really weird."

For me, there`s a bigger risk trying Batman. Ultimately, the big point was that Chris Nolan [Memento], who you would not expect to be doing that kind of movie, was going to direct it, which is exactly what I was looking for, because you want to do somethi...

I can have a bit of fun with it, too, because my only motivation really is being bad. I love doing proper dramatic character studies, but it`s also good to have a but of fun, dress up and stuff. - On accepting the role of the Scarecrow in Batman Begins (2...
