I really liked George Clooney as Batman.

But I also liked Pierce Brosnan as James Bond so I'm probably wrong.

Pierce Brosnan was great as James Bond. Goldeneye probably saved the franchise from oblivion. He got shit scripts after that, but he was right for the role.

Also, Dalton's first movie as Bond is highly underrated.

Please elaborate on the Brosnan part? I think he fit the role well, and I think GoldenEye is one of the best Bond movies. That being said, I wouldn't call myself a Bond connoisseur.

I don't think any of the Bonds were bad in the role. They all bought their own thing to it.

Some of them got some dogshit plots and scripts though, and frankly Brosnan's may have been even worse than Dalton's. Goldeneye is at least goofy and fun, a return to the Moore era. The rest were irredeemably bad.
