I like Adam West in his role as the insane mayor "Adam West" in the animated show Family Guy.

You made me chuckle, Mr West's voice was also in the 1st Star Wars Parody, very cool.

I still haven't seen the 1940's Batman yet, and George's heart just wasn't in the role, so Mr Clooney is out.

ADAM WEST - the suave, good natured and flashy

MICHAEL KEATON - the strong silent type and angry

VAL KILMER - friendly as Bruce Wayne and serious as Batman

CHRISTIAN BALE - complexed and fierce

Re: Favourite Batman?

I would go with Adam West, too. Sorry. I can't take a "serious" Batman, and camp is good

Re: Favourite Batman?

George Clooney, for sure. His Batsuit had nipples on them.

That's attention to detail.

Re: Favourite Batman?

Kevin Conroy from the great Batman Animated Show.

Thats the closest they have come to Batman. The old Burton movies,new ones are fine but they never captured Batman well.

Re: Favourite Batman?

Christian Bale is the best with Micheal Keaton second and then Val Kilmer.

I agree. Whilst it's been a while since I saw the animated series, I remember how well his voice fit the character. Christian Bale's Batman would be a close second.

Re: Favourite Batman?

There's a scene in the animated series that exemplifies Wayne's relationship with his Batman persona.

In this scene, Bruce has been subject to seemingly infallible brainwashing techniques that, of course, fail. How, we ask? Because of Wayne's indomitable will-power and strength of purpose?

No, but because "... the voice in my head kept calling me Bruce. That isn't the name I call myself."

If for no other reason than that this seemed to me to catch the character of the modern Batman perfectly, Conroy gets my vote, too.

Christian Bale. Dark Knight was the best Batman movie ever...too bad Heath Ledger won't be reprising his Joker role anytime soon Jack Nicholson's Joker is no comparison. Also, I don't really go for Tim Burton's style.

Michael Keaton. After him, Adam West because...well, Adam West.

Bale's hoarse yelling is distracting, but he's not terrible.

Re: Favourite Batman?

Both of the Chritian Bale movies were very good, most of all because of the supporting actors. Liam Neeson in the first, Heath Ledger in the second.
But the best Batman of all has to be Adam West. The man pulled off his Batman persona with a paunchy gut. His supporting actors ranged from Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin (the best Riddler ever), Caesar Romero, Eartha Kitt, Julie Andrews, and you can't forget Van Williams and Bruce Lee doing cameos as the Green Hornet and Kato.
