And here’s a highlight reel of West’s Batman:
Based on my memories, I had thought that Cage’s performance lacked the gravitas (and I say that with total sincerity) of West, but comparing the two videos, it’s pretty spot-on. I think that I’m just remembering all the languid, low-key scenes West got to have as part of a TV series that frequently needed to kill some time, as opposed to the brisker pace of a film. Also, Kick-Ass is not nearly as absurd as the ‘60s Batman show; I think if Cage had been granted the joy of a scene where he had to ask Chloë Grace Moretz’s Hit-Girl for a canister of Daddy-Shark Repellant Spray, the similarities would have been uncanny.
