Bat Battle: Who's The Best Movie Batman?

For me Adam West is the original live action Batman. So he will forever rock hard. Plus as a nine year old the comic book "pows, and Bangs" that appeared in every fight seen where great. Michael Keaton was a kick ass Batman just because he had that creepy voice, which I imagined was what the Bat should sound like. However Christian Bale is the greatest Batman ever, by default because he stared in The Dark Knight. Which is hands down the best Batman movie/comic book ever. Thanks of course to Heath Ledger for being the most inspiration Joker on film, or in a comic. Cool list. Good job. Oh, and by the way. Batman, and Robin was the worst Batman ever, and the gayest. But I don't blame Val Kilmer because he played in the movie Pump Up The Volume which will forever rock. And was the movie that introduced me to Black Jack Gum.

BigM:

That was the point. Ledger's joker was to depict the joker as if he could exist in real life. A consistency you may notice throughout both of those batman movies. Yeah... that would be on purpose.

Why everyone bitches about his voice I don't know. But I can guarantee that if he didn't change his voice as Batman, everyone would be bitching about how he didn't change his voice and how it's easy to recognize.

People just love to b***h. It's 90% of America's favorite thing to do. b***h and complain and nit-pick everything you get the chance to.

Standards aren't even high anymore, they just aren't reachable. Even with an awesome movie with a good plot and great acting has people bitching about a f*****g stupid detail like "his voice is too deep as batman!"

Get over it! It makes sense for one. And more importantly, the movie was great in all other aspects. Which some of you might have noticed had you been paying attention to the plot instead of wondering why his voice is different when he's hiding his identity, which you'd think you'd be able to figure out in half a second anyway.

BALE IS THE BEST EVEN THOUGH YOU'll BE BEGGING FOR SUBTITLES IN THE MOVIE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING.BATMAN AND BATMAN RETURNS WERE A BIT BETTER BECAUSE they FOLLOWED THE COMIC BOOK BETTER, EXCEPT FOR JN'S JOKER THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE FOR GIVING THE JOKER AN IDENTITY.

And BTW , Jim Carry's Riddler was closer to the real Joker ( Comics and animation ) than Ledger's version of the Joker was ..

Kevin Conroy is the only true Batman .. and Ledger's Joker is the most overrated role in the history of ever !! Yes , that's right .. I said it .

The otherwordly growl is all part of the character - duh. Batman is a physical manifestation of Waynes rage against the darkness of the criminal underworld. Thus, we get a voice layered in animalistic rage. Plus, if he spoke in his regular voice, it'd take about 40 seconds for the mafia to just record a tape and route it to a couple of private detectives

In my opinion, they haven't hired an actor who's done justice to the caped crusader yet! Really, "Beetlejuiceman?" "Doc Holiday Wayne?" "Bat-the facts of life man?" And really, what's with Bale sounding like Gollum after a 24 hour deep throatathon?

Oh, and for the record, BatKeaton's movies were terrible. Keaton himself was all right, but it's a downright lie that "Batman Forever marks the point where the villains were officially considered more interesting than Batman himself." The villains were always the main characters in the original franchise. Jack Nicholson got TOP f*****g BILLING in the first movie, and for damn good reason too; BatKeaton had so little to DO in that movie that I wondered why they bothered including him at all. At least Batman Begins focused on BATMAN.

By far the smartest decision Christopher Nolan made was to have the Joker in the second movie instead of the first. This way, he already had the tedious origin story out of the way, so he didn't need to distract from the awesome that was the Joker.

The fact that BatConroy (B:TAS) did not make this list only goes to show how pathetic Mr. Pinkerton's crush on Bale truly is. Kevin Conroy was not only Batman way longer than any of these other BatFakes were, he kicked some villian's butt at least once every week for years. BatKilmer and BatClooney ran away and hid after their movies, and BatKeaton and BatBale were so sick of the fight it took them three years each just to put on the suit again.

The desert camo Batmobile makes sense. There are very few rivers in the Mid-East, but those that exist are strategically important, such as the Tigris, Jordan, Euphrates, Nile, etc.

The best Batman is the animated one from TAS. All these live-action guys suck. What's with the rubber suits? Christian Bale is absolutely horrible with his silly voice & lispy mouth. The other guys can't turn their heads & Adam West is silly.

I'm still waiting for a decent live-action Batman.

I think someone should write about the villains in batman. Actually, just Arnold as Mr. Freeze. I just watched that movie and it was pretty much a comedy, not an action film. At one point when Mr. Freeze is escaping with his diamond, he gives a thumbs up and says "Cool Party!" in that hilarious Austrian voice of his. The result is many replayings of that moment.

For my money, it doesn't get any better than Keaton. I'd like Christian Bale if he didn't sound like he got a Falcon Punch to the windpipe every time he spoke.

Michael Keaton is still the best as of August 2008, Clooney is the worst and the 'batmen' in dark knight do a better job than Clooney :). But I have to say this again KEATON ROCKS AS BATMAN.

his name is michael keaton the best batman eva!!!!!

erk06, its called denial.

definitely keaton! he was a brilliant batman and clearly proved himself with the first two films, which remain the best batman films....mmmhhmmm.

Michael Keaton is the best one. He put on the bat suit and looks at you like: "Im a man in a rubber suit, and I can still seriously Kick some ass"
