Michael Keaton delivered the definitive Batman voice, for me.
 
Conroy sounds freaking awesome when he is talking angry as Batman.
I wish Bale sounded as good as he did as Batman or close or better!
 
I voted for Keaton.

He's always been the voice of Batman to me, since I grew up wearing out my Batman and Batman Returns tapes from watching them so much.
 
I voted Bale, but i missed Conroy!!! He's definetly Batman, nobody else could do Batman's amazing voice like him.
 
I voted Conroy.

Keaton and Bale were good but it seemed like they were channeling Clint Eastwood at times.

Kilmer had the same deep voice as Wayne and Batman so he was okay.

But I think Michael Ironside who voiced the DKR Batman in an animated episode had the right sort of creepiness as a pissed off Batman.
 
Conroy uses almost the exact same voice for Bruce and Bats, Bale's is the only one that I find truly exciting. I just love the "DO I LOOK LIKE A COP?!?!" line.
 
Conroy is obviously the best batman voice of all time, two distinct personalitys with two different voices both bruce and batman sounded completely different with tone, choice of words (which reflects a lot on the voice actor as there own creative input is often put into the script).

If I were to have a conversation with Bruce Wayne from B:TAS and then Batman I would not be able to tell you "hey thats the same loving guy".


Now christian bale I find has 3 personalitys. He has his "rich playboy", the people he's close with personality (when he takls with rachel, alfred etc)

and then he has his batman.

Keaton I believe got the ball rolling for this outlook on batman and is definetly a corner stone in the Batman voice, and at the time I feel he did a damn good job, however after Conroy & Bale my standards shot way up, and although I feel Keaton was a vital piece of the puzzle and deserves credit for influencing and changing the way batman was performed, i'd much rather hear Bale :brucebat: or Conroys:batman: batman than Keatons anyday.


Just my opinion =).
 
Er...CONROY.

I didn't think this was an issue for debate...

AHHH in your opinion maybe! I personally like Keaton better than Conroy, I like his version but Keaton and Bale I like alot better.
 
Conroy simply because his job was to be the voice of Batman, a job he skillfully performed
 
Conroy, Keaton, Kilmer, Bale. In that order.
No one else is worth mentioning.
 
Keaton all the way - so naturally dark and psychotic. Not forced at all. :o
 
Conroy
Bale
Keaton (when Joker invites himself into Vale's place and Keaton says "You wanna get nuts?! He uses the Beetlejuice voice...awesome.)
 
Verily serious, rubber ducky. The ':o' was meant for the actor who does force it. :hehe:

Wouldn't it be cool if Bruce Wayne's voice was the forced voice. Just thinking, because Batman gets in fights and jumps around, and all that he shouldn't have to worry about what his speech could give away while he's thinking about crime.:ninja:
