Top 10 Best Batman Actors

Great performance. For the first time, someone made that psychodrama story about his parents more plausible. Greatest Alfred ever, Michael Caine, also a very interesting interaction. I am glad the plain Katie Holmes character was replaced with a much better Catwoman version for our time.

On the low side, a few things could have been better defined in the screenplay. That prison/hole, honestly, what was that? Batman's voice would have been the best ever had they not overdone it. The villain's voice, well, was it really necessary to have it in a way that we cannot understand most of what he says? We all know the guy was an animal, but seriously?!

Michael Keaton, hands down, is the best Batman ever! Keaton's eyes are intense in Batman/Batman Returns. I didn't get that from Christian Bale. When you're an actor and your face is covered by a mask with only your eyes and mouth showing, it's difficult to show the character's emotions.

But Keaton blows all other Batman actors out of the water with his impressive acting skills! He has the best Batman voice, very believable. So yeah, for me, it's Michael Keaton all the way, with C. Bale second, and Clooney as Bruce Wayne (Wayne only, not as Batman).

He is the definitive Batman voice. He is in nearly every Batman animated film and game. He also starred in one of the best cartoons ever, Batman: The Animated Series. When I read a comic, I hear the intimidating and legendary voice of Kevin Conroy.

He has also been Batman for over two decades. This is why Kevin Conroy is the best Batman that ever was and ever will be.

Bale is the best live-action Batman (in my opinion), but nowhere near Conroy in the voice department. Probably because with animation (and video games) they just need the voice, whereas for a film they need someone who not only sounds like Batman but looks and acts like him too.

SPOILER ALERT

I don't get why everyone thought BvS was terrible. I saw the movie with low expectations but ended up astounded at the end, mostly because I was cheering for Batman.

SPOILER ALERT: Batman wins the fight with Superman. Well, kind of, but Ben Affleck was AMAZING, like my favorite Batman ever.

Before the movie, I liked Bale, but I just forgot him and went to every toy store to buy a Ben Affleck Batman action figure. Mine is really cool, by the way. I think he's the best because he's really, really big and strong. Ben Affleck actually looked like Batman from the comics, with that square chin and the grey suit with the bat sign on it. Best Batman ever.

Adam West didn't use rubber padding, and he threw his Batrope by hand. He didn't need to shoot it out of a gun, which proves he is the toughest of Batmans. Plus, his fights look best because you can see what's going on in full view. His Bruce Wayne is very convincing as a very generous philanthropist. There's just way too many good things to say about Adam West.

He was suave and serious, both as Batman and as Bruce Wayne. He didn't wear a stupid rubber/plastic suit (no stupid bat nipples!). He was pure West! I loved the campy world he was in, and that he took himself so seriously throughout the show. He was the genuine article.

In my opinion, as a big fan of Batman, this must be my favorite actor. I mean, he's got everything you need for a Batman. The beard, the hair, the shape. He's just perfect.

Kilmer had the voice and he's a good actor, but the script and director ruined any chance he had of succeeding in the role.

Batman Forever was a bad movie, but Val Kilmer looked and acted like the Bruce Wayne I think of.

It's too bad that this is a more forgettable performance. I thought it was alright.

He has that unique, rough, deep voice that makes him sound like a war veteran. His voice perfectly matches the older, brutal Batman which the creators of The Dark Knight Returns were aiming for.

I really liked Will Friedle's voice portrayal of Terry McGinnis/Batman Beyond. Even though it's not Bruce Wayne/Batman, it's still an amazing portrayal of Batman. Will Friedle brings an element of youth to Batman, which is something fans of Batman haven't seen before Batman Beyond.

Good Batman, but I don't think he should count because he was not Bruce Wayne.

The perfect mix between Kevin Conroy and Christian Bale. Mark my words, he will be your kids' favorite.

Come on, nobody can argue with Arnett's portrayal of Lego Batman!

I thought he did a pretty good job portraying a young Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Horrible script, great performance. He was a convincing Batman. The others looked awkward in their costumes. They stood so stiff. Clooney had a confidence to his Batman. He was convincing. He also made a great Bruce Wayne.

Kilmer was boring. Keaton didn't look like he could get any girl he wanted, which was what Bruce Wayne was. There was something off about Bale. You saw less of the public face of Wayne with him. In the scene where he's at the observatory and Ivy goes up to him, he talks to her and invites her to his event with swag, confidence, and charm.

George Clooney should be recast as Batman with a better script. He had the potential to be the greatest Batman EVER.

Best Batman sweetheart of all time. Awesome!

Although he hasn't worn the cape and cowl in real life, he gave his voice in over six animated movies, and for good reason too. He has the voice and suit of Christian Bale's portrayal, but both are much better. He really does have the style and attitude of Batman.
