Kevin Conroy makes a great Batman. But if I have to pick live action, for the moment it's Christian Bale (what a shocker huh?)

I don't think it's fair to include Bartram. He only played Batman for five minutes and most of that was action. Who is to say he has any talent for the role besides grimacing and looking vengeful?

Ligit:

Conroy's Batman is awsome. As for Live Action, Bale and Keaton, kinda a tie at the moment.

Not-Ligit:

As for fan-films, Clark Bartram pwned IMO. But really, he was basically Conroy's Batman brought to life so thats why I loved him so much. The costume, voice, cape, built down like a nail.

The entire point of Dead End appears to be showing Alex Ross' Batman in live-action.

I think Bruce Thomas, the Onstar Batman, was great considering how little time he had to establish himself.

And I thought it was a great job. Alex Ross' work come to life(well except the Joker, cause his Joker is way cooler then DE's)

Whoever that is, thats an awesome picture, but it's Clooney's cowl, kinda looks like him.

That fan film sucked major ass and it looked terrible. It's like Halle Berry's Catwoman of fan films. He shouldn't be on the list.

you seem to be somone who wanted to be on the cast , but was rejected, now you seek revenge on the creaters by trashing it :woot:

if you cant do any better you cant say S**T :o

Lol, yeah I know man. I don't see how people say it's s***, there was nothing wrong with Batman: Dead End(ok just the lame Joker). Basically, if you didn't like it then you don't like Alex Ross, Batman comics-especially the Batman vs AvP comics.

I see the BTAS Batman and Michael Keaton's Batman as being different versions of the same mold. Ultimately, I chose:

Keaton.

While Kevin Conroy does a great voice, Keaton did a great voice AND great phsyical performance.

People call it what it is; *****. The Batman sucked both in acting and appearance and before some of you black brief on grey body suit supporters get on me, I wouldn't mind that version of Batman's costume unless it didn't look good which it looks terrible in B: DE. You already said the Joker was lame which is a huge understatement. I do like Alex Ross and Batman comics(they're the only comics from DC I bother with) but I'm not a fan of crossovers that don't work.

I thought the suit was ok, not the best but atleast it wasn't Adam West. Yeah, Clark's acting was amazing but he only had what? 3 lines. But it was probably the best Batman fanfilm I've ever seen

My favorite is M.Keaton but the greatest is IMO of course K.Conroy.

I can do a hell of a lot better, I just haven't made a fan movie...yet.:o


then i'd like to see it, i want to see more batman fan films, there is some out there i cant even watch they are so bad, but if you say you can make one above the line of batam dead end, then i'd really like to see it :yay::up:

Lewis Wilson for me, his Bruce Wayne whilst in playboy mode was excellent I don't think any Batman actor has pulled that off since. His intensity as Batman was superb and overall he was a bit of a prick to Robin which gets him lots of points in my book.

Christian Bale was Amazing as Batman.......But Keaton rocked the **** in 89'.....

I pick C BALE......Barely, but he takes the cake.

Whoever that is, thats an awesome picture, but it's Clooney's cowl, kinda looks like him.

That guy playing batman in the OnStar commercials was also Clooneys stunt-man in B&R.

As for the cowl, Its the Batman Forever style cowl, It was resculpted for B&R, But it still look like the Forever cowl except for a few details and the color. That cowl can be seen in a few scenes in B&R, All the stunt scenes were shoot before Clooney stepped in, In all the stunt scenes, the panther cowl was used, Clooney also wears that cowl in a few scenes aswell, Mostly noticeble in the Museum scene. Its mostly called the "stunt cowl" then later they decided to change to a new cowl, Wich is the cowl called the clooney cowl. With the shorter neckline, bigger ears, and diffrent eyebrows.

The suit was one of the stunt suits from B&R, Emblem was painted with a yellow background, the cowl as said above, is the stunt cowl from B&R.
Other then that, the whole suit is basically the one from B&R.

My choice for greatest is Kevin Conroy, voice acting is harder than normal acting because you have to rely solely on your vocal performance to convey the characters emotions, you cannot rely on physical actions, facial expressions or anything else but your voice, and even with that Conroy managed to make me believe he was the best Batman and last for over a decade, granted he had advantages such as he didn't have to look the part or be the correct age. But then again, Keaton didn't look the part and was not the correct age but he managed to do a great job.

My vote for worse goes not to George Clooney but to Clark Batram. Before
I'm eaten alive let me explain. Think about it Clooney was a god-awful Batman, he made bad puns, his collection of deus ex machina gadgets would make Adam West envious, his costume included freakin' nipples and a coddpeice, and he wouldn't even change his voice for Batman. But most of those things were not his fault and the ones that were, I'm sure he could improve upon if he really wanted to. Now don't get me wrong, Clooney IMO would never make a good Batman, I actually believe he was the second worse. But, I also believe that if he tried he would be just a tad better than Batram, who only seems to get praised for his builld, everything else he gets praied for (costume, script) has nothing to do with him anyway, his acting was horrible

you need only pause the video at about 2:14 here to see what I mean

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67IU799GIL4

So I think if Clooney really tried he could be better than Batram, that is of corse assuming that the question "Greatest Batman" means who could do the greatest job, if it means who did the greater job it means I think they were both on par in terms of "suckiness", it also means I've wasted fifteen minutes of my life.
