Many may not agree but he IS batman he started it all for the movies tv show ect. He played a Light batman which people over look he is my 2nd favorite.
Michael Keaton-
Alot of peoples favorites keaton showd the tortured soul of batman rather than"hey freeze i'm batman" he was quiet and keeped to himself not gothams playboy
Pros- Dark, played bruce well, showed batmans tortureed soul
Cons- to short keaton beleive it or not is only 5'6" tall and batman is sapossed to be 6'2"
Kevin Conroy-
What never heard of him THE ANIMATED SERIES BATMAN!! kevin conroy is the keaton of the animated series he played it right and dark but a set back is its on a kids network if they put it on adult swim they could protray the dark ness better.
Pros- Dark menacing
Cons- limeted by its Tv-Y7 rating
Val Kilmer-
I liked him I didn't at first until i watched it over and over and he slow grew on me Batman forever is a combination of BATMAN and Batman and Robin like the music sucked but batman was good
Pros- every body was kung fu fightin!
Cons- tommy lee jones as two face pleeeeaze
George Cloony- George clooney? he play batman did he suck that bad
my favorite batman was deffintly number one with micheal keton with the joker i luv the joker always have always will it was deffintly the best batman the newer batmans of today have gotten just to werid
Keaton is the God of all the actors that played batman. hey i did not even now his height until you told me. Honestly in the Movie did anyone you notice how short he was. My mother who hates superhero movies even rates batman 1 as one of her favorite movies. Keaton brought a darkness to the big screen that was right on to how the comic book portray batman. Come on guys isn't that what where going by what we loved about the comic books. Listen batman 1 and 2 ruled 3 and 4 could have saved all the lights and glitter for Barbie!!!!
__________________ Movies are my life and thus my life is all about Movies. Jess I even got 1 degree in it and now im on my second!!! Dang i love movies!!!!
look at the first batman the the second wich i think dont quote me was the peguin and catwomen but ne way thoughs r really dark fu*ckin movies as Nv my movieskill said the batmans of today got those huge stupid ass statues of people with red green blue what ever color light all over relaly dumb they should have stopped after mike left the batman seris i mena come on people george cloony do i have to say ne more
i would not say any of the batmans were the best because for one they all sucked, 1 and 2 were the only good ones despite that michael keaton i heated. michael keaton was too short, val kilmer was too mean, and george clooney was the worst, he cracked jocks way to much, and who ever directed that movie had no idea who batman really was, but the villians were good.
West was the best imo.
He had looks, personality and a deacent build.
The outfit was traditional also.
People seem to have a problem with the cheesyness though.
But what do you expect, it was marketed towards young kids.
But as far as the things I mentioned outside of a campy script(which is script and not the actor)West was the best.
Sure Keaton had personality, but he is a midget.
George clooney??? paleeze
Val Kilmer wasn't so bad though, he's my second pic outside of West.
Now with Bale in the picture, they now have a chance to make the best batman movie yet.
Lets hope the outfit, script and set is also better this time around also.
Ok, here's the dealio, Keaton was a great batman, but the fact that Burton was directing it helped out. I think Val could have been good but the nipples on the suit were just one of the bad parts of the film. George, sorry man, stick to non heroic films, such as O'brother Where Art Thou. Keaton you are the best, but watch out for Bale.
Its def Kevin Conroy. That voice and that attitude from behind the wonderful animation of a sinister dark knight IS batman. Hell, they kept him around for the original, the new adventures,batman beyond,and the newest (and best) batman incarntaion the justice league batman. (although I would have shortened the new ears alittle bit)
keaton was definetly the best, he was dark as batman and at the same time able to be a clumsy bruce wayne at the same time. val kilmer really sucked, val kilmer was to dark as bruce wayne. and clooney only did what the director told him to. conroy extreamely good voice.
