My favorite is Kevin Conroy from the animated series... but Bale did a great job... $\:D/$

I just despise the older movies, so I can't fairly rate the actors, but Adam West from the 60's was cool.

That's the name! I tried to remember for like five minutes and then just decided to post it. (Rather than google "Batman".)

I have to go with Christian Bale... although, I must say, it wouldn't matter if he sucked in the role... he'd still be my favorite. For one, I haven't seen any other version of Batman (I only saw that one 'cause of you know who) and two, I love Christian Bale!

Bale was the best live action one. But, in my mind, Kevin Conroy will always be Batman.

I have seen the previous Batman movies and I am still waiting to see Batman Begins. From the adds though, I would have to say that Christian Bale is my favorite now. I used to watch the cartoon. (The more recent one.) And I like who ever did the voice.

If you're talking about The Batman, I don't know the voice actor's name, but he's pretty good too.
An aside: The Batman vs. Dracula is a great movie. Even if you don't like the show, I recommend this movie is for all Batman fans.

I've never sat down and watched "The Batman", but I've read some reviews and such and it seems for the most part fans of the Kevin Conroy Batman series didn't like it too well... something about all the villains being given a drastic overhaul, even though they were already designed to perfection.

But this recent Dracula one has gotten better marks so maybe they are turning things around. I just don't like seeing an animated Batman that doesn't sound like Conroy...

When I said "the more recent one" I was refering to the series previous to The Batman. I forgot about the newer one that is currently being aired. I said more recent also because there was the old animated series.

And the thing with The Batman is that they make everyone not as normal as the other series. (As normal as strange villeins can get.) They seem really our of perportion. (Maybe perportion is not the word I am looking for.) And they make Bruce Wayne look kinda weird.

One of the interesting things about it is that it shows the early days of Batman and how some of the villeins came to be. And when I heard Batman Begins announced I thought that it was kinda funny that they had just brought back the series like a year before it.

That's what they usually do before or after a big movie like that opens. Batman: The Animated Series was renewed at the same time that atrocious Batman Robin movie came out. They were gonna make an animated Catwoman movie to coincide with the live-action movie, but they scraped it because the movie bombed.

I didn't know that, but it makes sense.

Christian Bale, Christian Bale

Come on guys, he was good but not that good.

I thought Val Kilmer did the best job (obviously I'm alone in that thinking) but Adam West will always be the Caped Crusader to me.

Using Top's logic:
Brain = Top Crusader
Batman = Caped Crusader
Brian = Batman

Funny, but I don't think so. And Map (I think that is was Map) said in another topic that she thought that Michael Keaton did the best job, so not everyone is for Christian Bale.Sorry Mandy.

Haha. What do I care? People can think what they want to think. When it comes to Hollywood, I don't care who disagrees with me.

I like Christian Bale and George Clooney, but I voted Clooney since I thought no one else would, and sure enough.....

Anyways, I hated Keaton. Or was it Kilmer. I need to watch those again. Especially Batman Begins.

COWBOY OF TEXAS · Post by **COWBOY OF TEXAS** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 7:25 pm

Looks like Michael Keaton was the only one who didn't get a vote. Does that tell you something?

My mom mentioned while we were watching Batman Begins that you could see a lot of Cloony in Christian Bale. You can believe that Bruce Wayne will grow up to look like Cloony.

The Dark Knight.

Who is the best Batman?
