Cue the Kevin Conroy outrage.

I voted Keaton, but I haven't seen Batfleck yet.

I voted Affleck, mainly for that scene where he was working out shirtless.

E Unit

Val Kilmer version 2.0

Mike86

I still prefer Bale but I liked Affleck. Conroy beats them all though.

Obi-Wanma

Will Arnett

Supermallet

Conroy, probably because I've never associated him with anything else, unlike all the other actors who've played the character. I'm encouraged by the positive comments about Affleck though.

Why So Blu?

Kevin Conroy
Christian Bale
Ben Affleck
Michael Keaton
Adam West

B5Erik

Michael Keaton

And I remember thinking that the producers were out of their minds when they originally cast him, but he did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised.

Keaton
Kilmer
West
Bale

From what I see and hear, Affleck could be #2

Cloonster does not deserve to be on any list. And that goes for his work outside of Batman also.

-Bale really nailed it as Batman.

-Keaton was very good but I still like Bale better.

-Kilmer was OK, but I'm not a fan of Schumachers Batman movies.

-Clooney was awful, but I don't bury him cause he has a sense of humor and says he ruined the franchise.

-Haven't seen Affleck yet.

This reminds me - I really need to rewatch Lifes Too Short.

*I voted for Affleck.

Haven't seen Affleck yet, so I can't say. But Conroy will always be my Batman. Loved TAS and Batman Beyond so much.

Keaton's Batman is the most unique performance of the character with the exception of Adam West, who wasn't trying to be serious.

Iron_Giant

Yes, Conroy was not on list...love him.

I've argued this before a few years ago, but Conroy shouldn't be on the list and i'm glad he isn't. Batman is more then just a voice.

As for me, I have a soft spot for Keaton. I liked Bale, but the Batman voice thing still bugs me. Affleck was good, but too little to tell yet.

Maxflier

Totally agree, it's silly to crowbar him into these type of discussions every time. You love BTAS, we get it already. We all do.

For me it's Affleck, I was stoked about his casting and he lived up to my expectations. Keaton would be second. And I didn't really care for Bale in the role even though I love him as an actor in general.

stingermck

Thank you! Totally agree.

Bale is still my favorite, Soft spot for Kilmer, Affleck could take a spot though.

Mike86

I don't see what's wrong with saying Conroy gave a good performance. Yes it's only his voice and live action is different but regardless a big part of performance is line delivery and I think he did a great damn job at both Bruce and Batman and is very memorable as both. Honestly he's more memorable to me than any of the live action versions and is the voice I imagine when I'm reading comics.

Overall if we're ranking them all and people only want to count live action:
Bale
Keaton
West
Affleck (only because he hasn't done enough for me to rank him higher, I didn't mind his performance)
Kilmer
Clooney

No love for the dude from the OnStar commercials? Leading the way to a more serious Batman a mere three years after Batman & Robin. A true hero.
