In my opinion the best Bruce Waynes so far are Michael Keaton, and possibly George Clooney because he is a good actor even though the movie sucked.
But moving to my original point. Who do you think could play a better Bruce Wayne, and please specify in what time period, liek Christian Bale i still recognise as the 'young' Batman.
For a slightly older Bruce Wayne I think David Boreanaz, with Buffy the Vampire fame.
For a much older Batman I think Kiefer Sutherland would be an excelant choice, your opinion?
As Batman, Michael Keaton, because he was just so badass with his voice and look
As Bruce Wayne, probably Christian Bale, because me had the "Bruce is just a mask" thing going, and he had those two hot European girls like every Bruce Wayne must

Christian Bale works for 'young Batman' but Im more of talking for the older more experienced Batman. for which io say Kiefer Sutherland, but for a old but not totally old. id say David Boreanaz. as ive said before. Keaton was still very good at the role even though he didnt fit thebuild. they made him look so
David Boreanaz as in the guy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Sure, that'd be fine if he could actually act. The guys a TV actor, with only a handful of film credits to his name, poor films too.
Christian Bale is fantastic as a young Bruce Wayne, and I can imagine if say, they made another Batman film 20 years from now, an aged, grizzled Christian Bale would do fantastic then.
I have the same agreements as SnakeEyes.Michael keaton was the worst casting choice in comicbook history.The wrong build and the wrong look of Bruce Wayne and he acted NOTHING at all like Bruce wayne from the comics.Yeah Christian Bale all the way then Val Kilmer comes in second.He at least looked the part of Bruce Wayne and at least acted like him.

You're an idiot. I'm guessing you forgot about Halle Berry as Catwoman. Or George & Kilmer as Batman. Swarz-a-****** as Freeze. Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane (prob the worst). Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent. Pat Hingle as Comm. Gordon. Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl (horrible). Jeep Swenson as Bane (horrible). Anna Paquin as Rogue.
If you truly believe he was the worst casting choice in comicbook history you NEED to stop watching comic book movies.
I'd go and scan the comics that would prove you wrong but I think its sufficient to say that it depends on what side of Bruce you're talking about. There's the playboy type, there's the person who tries to ACT like an idiot with the "I'm rich so I don't have to really care or know anything that's going on", I'm the boss and "I'm smarter than you" type. So it really depends. He's a character that acts like he has many sides.
The only part of Keaton's Batman (and this is not decided by him) is that he didn't fight like how Batman should. Come on, Joker's thugs getting hits on Batman??! Please....
If anything Clooney was the worst Batman ever. And he's a good actor, so I don't know what happened. But one thing I do know is - Batman doesn't make appearances at Charity Events, and Batman doesn't have an AMEX Card that says "Batman Forever" on it. I believe the line was "Never leave the Cave without it". Get the Hell outta here...

No YOUR an idiot.You think that horrible actor Pierce Brosan was the best James Bond ever.that says it all about you. Im not saying those others were great casting choices-Halle Berry as catwoman and clooney as batman for sure rivals Keaton as batman.But Keaton was a horrible Bruce Wayne.Its funny how you only qouted part of my post and not the whole post since it proves that Kilmer was easily the better Bruce wayne. Keaton was a horrible bruce wayne because not only did he not look the part but he acted nothing at all like bruce wayne and just tried to copy Chris Reeves perfromance as superman acting goofy and dorky like bruce wayne and macho as batman.Kilmer at least acted the part which is cool with the women and suave and like i said,at least had the right look and build.

Bale brought the physicality to the role that nobody had yet. Keaton was mysterious and had the perfect voice. I think Bob Crane himself said that Kilmer was the best choice, I thought he was good. Clooney was just too much of a novelty.
dude, Kilmer looks nothing leik Bruce, since when was Bruce Wayne blond??
Batman puts on acts, and definately doesnt sacrafice his reputation. plus Batman normally doesnt drink to keep his body in peak physical condition, Yet Christian Bale casually grabbed a glass of Champagne and drank it down.
Christian Bale over angsted it, Over did it, and overall didnt do it as well as Keaton. But he did do better than Kilmer, Clooney and Adam West
Yeah, but you see, no matter how good of a job Keaton supposedly did, it wouldn't matter.
I, personally, think he was a poor choice for the role AND he did a poor job. I couldn't take him seriously. He was a shrimp of a guy trying to be Batman, one of my favorite characters who I know a whole lot about.
Let's say hypothetically, Keaton did the best job, hands down. It still wouldn't matter, because of how he looks.
He doesn't look like Bruce Wayne OR Batman. I don't buy it and neither should anyone else. I mean, I guess that's harsh and all, trying to impose my thoughts on others, but come on... it's obvious why the guy was a poor choice.
Add to this that Christian Bale is an excellent actor, looks the part, and did a good job with the character itself and you've got your perfect Batman right there.
Chris Bale was bruce wayne. Keaton was totally wrong for the role not only phischally, his performance was goofy and out of the character. Kilmer was a decent bruce wayne and clooney was a joke, he was only playing himself
Also, kevin conroy was a great voice for wayne and adam west was a very good bruce wayne too.

no i have plenty of idea what i am talking about. You simply questioning my credibility makes it seem as though you dont know what you are talking about. Bale over stressed hsi war on crime, and not giving a shit. when Batman sows constant disgression and always knows what he wants and where he is. He rarely makes social gaffs unless they are intentional. and he never really had any big time "Should i kill them cause they did something bad? b-bu-but killing is wrong!" Batman would have done what he thooiught was right and never over angsted the scenes. Keaton however showed that Bruce was a mask by pretending, and quite well might i add, to be a richboy who needs help to shit an dlikes ot flaunt his money. PLUS Alfred acted more liek a father as he is intended to in the Burton Films
