I just remember hearing that on the TV show Batman in the 1960's, the
creator of Batman picked Adam West to play him because he looked the
most like his character. His acting talent was questionable. I think
that the author may not always be the best judge of who should play the
characters in their book.

Let's just hope a guiding hand from someone with experience helps to
make this movie worth seeing on its own merits and not just a poor
imitation of the popular books. If the movie gets too much attention,
it could spoil the fact that kids are interested in reading again thanks
to the books. Which is more important than a popular movie.
