Who has been the best Batman?
Who do you feel played the role of Batman the best?
- Adam West (Batman [1966], "Batman" Television Series)
- Michael Keaton (Batman [1989], Batman Returns)
- Val Kilmer (Batman Forever)
- George Clooney (Batman & Robin)
- Christian Bale (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight)
My choice: Christian Bale

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Bale, by a mile. Especially because he had such a thankless job to do in TDK...

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
It's a draw between Michael Keaton and Christian Bale for me.

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Bale's performance in Batman Begins was far and away the best Batman ever. But I feel he was far under used in TDK due to the Joker and Dent taking up large amounts of screentime. His Bruce Wayne was hardly in the movie at all. Which is a shame considering how great he is at playing it as was shown is BB.

Wayne/Batman was involved in just about every single sequence except for the opening five minutes, the "group therapy", Joker and Two Face, and a couple other smaller scenes. It just seems like the Joker and Two-Face were on screen more because Ledger and Eckhart were so good.

Indeed.
Bale was in this movie almost constantly.

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Bale's my pick, but Keaton did a solid job and Bale's dominating so insanely that I voted for Keaton.

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Keaton gave the better performance, IMO, but Bale handled the more complex Batman awesomely and had the better Bruce Wayne, so Bale it is.

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Bale was easily the best Bruce Wayne (Kilmer and Keaton did commendable jobs with what they were given though, they weren't explored through that character) But Keaton without question was still the best Batman on screen, for someone that people went apeshit that he was terribly miscasted, he still is the one to beat. He had great humor, intimidation, and the action scenes were great for a superhero movie, and he had the best costume still

Re: Who has been the best Batman?
Michael Keaton is one of my favorite actors of all time, but I don't think he did the amazing job that everyone thinks he did in Batman. He suffered from two movies that felt a need to focus more on villians then him.
Val Kilmer, I think if Begins and TDK were made 10 years ago or if Kilmer were 10 years younger he would be have been better than Bale. But he got Batman Forever, so not really his fault, esp. since when he signed up for Forever he thought Tim Burton was still doing it.
George Clooney, with the modern media's perception of him Clooney image was is perfect for Bruce Wayne, he just looks like a playboy billionare because he is a playboy millionaire.
My vote goes to Bale because all of the others got either shaffted our were in shitty movies.
