Who do you believe is the "best" Batman?

[a-dev]

Fat Kilmer still gets more coochie than everyone here put together.

How do you know that? Huh? HUH? (That Kilmer gets any I mean, you're probably right about the rest of us )

:
I think he also had a good batman voice. For me it was reminescent of Conroy's slight change from Wayne to batman. I like Kilmers bat-voice better than Bale's rediculous growling

Did Kilmer have a Batman voice? I thought him and Clooney just spoke normally as Batman.

Man, this discussion reminds me of 007/James Bond for some reason.




WHO'S A BETTER BATMAN, SEAN CONNERY, ROGER MOORE, TIMOTHY DALTON, PIERCE BROSNAN OR DANIEL CRAIG!?!

 

[a-dev]

Thats an interesting question. Out of any one of those guys in their primes who would you pick to play Batman. Get to work on those photoshops Difabio!

And obviously who out of Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney or Bale would've made the best James Bond.

 

[DiFabio]

I think if I dyed my hair black I'd make a pretty good Batman myself . . .


Unfortunately I'm not a cosplayer or actor.

 

[a-dev]

If I bulked up a bit I'd make a pretty good Hawkins from Predator.


like my sig.....see? Y'see what I did there?

 

[DFanatic]

I'm surprised no one said Bruce Greenwood. He does my favorite Batman voice. Currently in the Young Justice cartoon.

My favorite Batman is Bale’s by far.

I love watching his struggle to save Gotham…you can really buy into this story about a Billionaire using all of his resources to save his city from crime and corruption.

There was this one particular scene at the beginning of the Dark Knight where Batman is clutching onto the Scarecrow’s van and lets go right in to a cement wall. He struggled back to his feet with all the heavy armor to continue his chase and finally capture the Scarecrow…that was great stuff!

Can’t wait to see the final movie!

Your sig, it all makes sense now a-dev . . .

Funnily enough I particularly like that part too. Great music plus the last action scene for the Begins suit.

To further qualify why I mentioned Hawkins - I wear glasses, am into nerd-type stuff but don't really have the stereotypical nerd look. Thing about Hawkins is the glasses are really the only thing that make him look like the nerdy soldier. I'd be the same......and I'd probably get killed first too.

I think Val Kilmer was a great Batman/Bruce Wayne in an awful movie.

 

[Morbach]

Bale. Nuff said.

Uh, George Lazenby. Duh.

^ I agree with this.

Especially as Wayne. You could see why women would go after Wayne besides money.

Keaton- no one seemed to even know who Wayne was. And I liked the mystery of that.

Bale- is a complete jerk as Wayne and I imagine thats how he is in real life.

Clooooooney- just sucks. Even after all these years, his acting is slow, boring and wooden. He had to sell his soul.


As for 007- I cant pick one, but my dream 007 is Adrian Paul.

Adrian Paul from Highlander? Yeah, he's a terrific actor! Not sure if he could pull off a Bond role with his accent, but it's interesting that you pointed that out. Along with him and guys like Kevin Sorbo, it's too bad that some of these actors from the 90s never got casted for more roles.

As for Val Kilmer and George Clooney... I completely forgot to add them in the poll. Yeah "Ice Man" was a good Bruce Wayne .

 

[NorthernLadMSP]

Michael Keaton all the way

 

[lerath666]

Kevin mother ____ing Conroy

 

[SAB]

My favorite Batman would have to be Michael Keaton.
His portrayal of Bruce Wayne as a sad lonely lost soul was great.

Bale is probably the most realistic in that someone that decides to dedicate their life to that is going to have to be driven, obsessive and narcissistic.

 

[samueljd]

Kevin Conroy made Batman real and captures his attitude and personality perfectly. Bale is the best live-action Bats, but the Animated series is some of the best Batman incarnations out there.

 

[Buttmunch]

Kevin Conroy. Period. Once all the Bale-hype dies down, people will once again realize Conroy IS Batman.

I can agree that Kevin Conroy's VOICE is Batman, no doubt.
But why compare him to live action actors?
