Who are you, Richard Daley? ;)

I'd love to say Adam West, but Michael Keaton.

[RickySlade]

I like Keaton the best but I voted for West just to do this....

Adam West is a man who likes his taffy.

[platozorba]

I'll vote West!!!! I aint scared!!!!

Im an old school batman fan. He may have been a cornball but played it off so cool like. No, Im not on drugs. West was the shit!

Holy Crackheads, Batman!!!!

[Annie Hall]

C'mon....Keaton Keaton Keaton.


...though...Adam West *is* better than taffy...and...I'm a schmoe who loves her taffy.......mmmmm....

[Scarface98.9]

Kilmer. Never really got into the Burton movies. Though Adam West is definitely the shit, Batman or not. Maybe he should be the Mayor of Quahog someday

[blankpage]

West is the man.


Plus, I love me tafee.......mmmmm....tafee *begins to make strange noises while eating tafee*

[ze424]

Micahel Keaton

[Hannibal21]

Michael Keaton

[Subotai]

Kevin Conroy.


If I have to pick from the list above, Keaton. Not that he was great shakes. Kilmer's the best actor, but he sleepwalked through the role.

[El Bracamonti]

i ended up choosing keaton, but kilmer came very close.

[TheAxeGrinder]

Keaton has the face for Batman, and Kilmer the body, but I'd go with Keaton, since he was in the movies that really mattered in the series.

I agree 100%, Kevin Conroy is Batman. Complete perfection.

Also I personally thought Keaton did a great job as Batman, might not have looked the part but he sure as hell played it out very well.

I never really cared much for Adam West, his Batman show was just too damn goofy (I didn’t even like it when I was a little kid).

Val Kilmer wasn’t bad, just wasn’t great either.

George Clooney, what can I say? I think he is a good actor but a horrible Batman.

[Clarkey07]

Adam West

[Antonio]

Keaton

[Klownzilla]

KEATON IS Batman.

[KRGR1428]

No contest... MICHAEL KEATON

[chasingbanky]

GEORGE CLOONEY was the greatest batman EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is no question: Michael Keaton.

Adam West's Batman was funny though, but not nearly as cool as the Keatman, man!

[Strider]

There is no contest whatsoever, Michael Keaton will always be BATMAN!

[Mikey2Dope]

Adam West is most definately the man. Michael Keaton kicks as well though.

[Psychocandy]

Kevin Conroy should have been on the list. He's the best by several million light years. If I had to choose...Michael Keaton.

[J.Sledge]

Keaton captured the Jeckyl & hyde personality of Bruce Wayne. He has that dark side to him but he also has a humorous side as well same with Batman.

[Lazy Boy]

Michael Keaton

[Kudzuka]

KEATON

[bowieee]

Adam West

[slimer]

keaton

[Dr Martin Luther Loomis]

North, South, East, WEST.

[Indiana Sev]

Michael Keaton

[Slim]

Without a doubt in my mind, Michael Keaton.

[screamer581]

Michael Keaton, though West rocked the party as well. :)

[APzombie]

Michael Keaton is the only Batman in my lil' blue eyes ;)

[Arathon]

I made a thread exactly like this once. Minus Adam West as an option as batman. I vote for Val Kilmer, closely followed by Michael Keaton and then George Clooney.

[jackson13]

Keaton. Kilmer had the best eyes though. If you look at his eyes while he's in costume, hes got that mysterious semi-evil look, which is what Batman is supposed to have. But Keaton is overall the best Batman.

[Damned Martian]

Clooney


Despite being in the worst movie of the series, his talent and looks are the most accurate to Bruce Wayne that has been ever cast. If only Tim Burton had casted him in the first place... :(

[Folco]

It's a tie between Keaton and West.

[Guy Strong]

Mr. West

[ilovemovies]

Definately Keaton. Kilmer was good too and I don't have a problem with Clooney. I thought he was fine. He did the best job that could be given with what he had to work with.

Adam West is a cheesy as hell but fun Batman too, just like the show ;)

[Cronos]

Keaton was the best

[Boba Joe]

Micheal Keaton

[adamjohnson]

If Keaton would just say once: "Robin, get my shark repellant!" that would kick too much ass for words.

[night prowler]

Michael Keaton. He will always be the best in my mind.

[movielover-9]

Michael Keaton is the best, because he was so mysterious and cool as Batman, which worked great for the role. I think Val Kilmer tried to do the same as Keaton, but never really could. George Clooney's a great actor, just not fit for Batman

[Congerking]

uhhh...tough choice...i think that keaton was the best batman and kilmer was the best bruce wayne......the actors that have portrayed batman thus far were good on the one side...but not that great on the other side...TONS of actors can play a good Bruce Wayne, but not that many would play a good Batman....i guess thats the tough part about playing a incredibly crazy, rich, buff guy who likes to dress up as a bat....... =P

[The Rain Dog]

Clooney did the best he could with the shit Joel served up.

Put him in the original Burton film and he would have kicked some serious arse IMO.

As it stands tho - I have to go with Keaton

Kilmer fucking blew.

RD

[harpian]

Yeah, I have to agree with the idea that Keaton was the best Batman, while Kilmer made for a hotter Bruce Wayne.

[RicochetShaw]

Michael Keaton.

[TheLoveBelow]

Michael Keaton- He was pretty good and he really gave batman a personality.

Adam West- Didnt see the show, i saw the movie of it though and it was real cheesy

George Clooney- Horrible, Terrible Batman and he mad it so boring.

Val Kilmer- The movie was the best and the movie introduced me to Batman movies so I prefer Val Kilmer although Keaton was great also

[Rothstein]

Keaton did a great job portraying batman.

[Dogma]

I went with Keaton although I clicked Kilmer first. I didn't think Clooney did too bad personally, it was just the other ensemble hunk 'o' crap they called a cast.

But...

BALE IS GONNA RULE!!!!!!!!!

[Andrew Tom]

Keaton, easily. He was closest to the Frank Miller Batman(my favorite) of the lot.

I hope to see Bale and the new Batman going to the same direction.

[tbone]

Basically a no-brainer

Keaton

[Luke-Abbott]

Without a doubt, Micheal Keaton.

[MickeyKnox]

Keaton was a God when he played Batman

[darchangel]

keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton keaton...

do you know that after you type "keaton" so many times, it really doesn't look like a word anymore? anyway, here are my rundown of the other batmen:

west- holy sixties, batman! he did a good job for the time, though.

kilmer- dude, you made a better jim morrison.

clooney- WHAT THE FUCK??? CLOONEY, STICK TO PLAYING DOUG ROSS (a.k.a. the only role you know how to do without sucking), and STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM BATMAN!!!


"talk hard. steal the air."
