Whose portrayal of Batman is your favorite?

[Darthrazz]

I know that every movie and the TV show were totally different in terms of tone and seriousness. My question is , which portrayal of Batman is your favorite? I grew up watching Adam West, thoroughly enjoyed Michael Keaton's Batman as a teenager and think Christian Bale is by far the best. But I tend to lean more towards Keaton, maybe because his version was from "my generation". I threw Val Kilmer and George Clooney in there, well because they did play the Batman. This is just a fun poll, let's try to keep it friendly.Is there any other actor I'm forgetting?

 

[King Darkness]

Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks.

He won an Oscar for the role!

Someone should vote George Clooney just for fun

None of the above.

The best Batman was Kevin Conroy from the Animated Series. Perfect balance of characterization between Bats and Bruce.

 

[OSCORP]

Tom Hanks.

I knew someone would add him as a write-in But in all fairness he's a great Batman.

But, I still throw my support behind Keaton

Knew I forgot someone! Can I still add him to the poll?

 

[King Darkness]

What about Lewis Wilson?

And Robert Lowery?

I voted Adam West because he did a good job between Batman and Bruce.

Keaton was a great Bruce, but I always found him unbelievalbe as Bats.

Kilmer was the opposite. Great Bats. Bruce was too uptight.

Never saw Clooney's Bats/Bruce. I can see how his Bruce would have been great though.

Christian Bale does both wonderfully, but he is going to win the poll so I didn't vote for him.



Oh and Lewis Wilson was great. I always thought he was Adam West and was surprised to find out that I was wrong.

 

[OSCORP]

Bale. But i am not a Batman fan so my opinion on this should not matter to Batman fans. He's just the best to this non Batman fan.

I woulda gone with Kevin Conroy, as well. He better embodies Batman than any of the live action guys, IMO.

I voted Bale - but would have voted Conroy if he was in the poll. I'm suprised Clooney got a vote!

 

[intothevoid]

Bale for me - fits my mind's version of the character utterly perfectly.

Kevin Conroy comes a very close second.

Bale is good but the raspy voice he does with the bat suit on drives me nuts for some reason.and to be honest i thought Heath sucked as the Joker.the joker was always a prankster .they made the Joker a straight up loon .like shooting the guy in the face with a double barrel ,I guess I am old school and liked the older shows better .now Danny Devito was great as the penguin

 

[YoNoSe]

Conroy by a mile.

Someone's eyeballs just exploded.
