The Dark Knight EW.com Poll : Which actor will always be Batman to you?

[grimlock]

Val Kilmer and Christian Bale are equally good but Bale's upper advantage is having Nolan on his side. If Kilmer were under Nolan's command I think he would have aced it too.

whos conroy?

 

[Damiean Dark]

kevin conroy voiced batman/wayne in the batman animated series.

 

[grimlock]

Conroy's voice just terrorizes me. No one can top his Batman voice.

 

[Damiean Dark]

I actually like Keatons better its more of a whisper that leads you to beleive this guy in a giant batsuit is an absolute maniac.

And as who will be remembered best i think it will always be Adam west because he has been typecast as batman since the 60s and hasnt done a meaninful role since. Keaton,bale and kilmer played the role better (with keaton being the best) but they have all done movies where they have broadened there range and have garnered acclaim away from the batman universe.

 

[CConn]

Of course, most of Keaton's more famous performances came before he was cast as Batman.

Bale and Kilmer are equally good. Never been a fan of Michael Keaton for Batman but he nailed Beetlejuice.IMO. He was asked recently what role he would like to revisit and he did say Beetlejuice.

I'll always think of Keaton as Batman even though Bale's performance is overall better as the character. But that isn't Keaton's fault.

On a side not I was watching the 60's Batman series the other day and I heard probably the funniest Robin "Holy___ Batman!" line ever.

"Holy Holocaust Batman! I totally forgot about that!"

Whats even funnier is that I don't know what that was in response to since I had just tuned in as he said it. But the imagination can run wild with the possibilities....

TAS/Conroy and Keaton will probably always be the big two for me, I think Bale is awesome but ive just grown up with the other two.

 

[obiwangator]

Bale is good but Batman for me is Kilmer and Kevin Conroy.
