Keaton for me.

BluCollector13 · 05-15-2023, 07:09 AM

Keaton, followed by Pattinson and Affleck.

Bale is best as Bruce Wayne, but isn't helped by "the voice."

My favourite Batman is Affleck for the physicality. The warehouse scene is my favourite Batman fighting scene of all time. I love Affleck’s modulated voice.

Bale had the best movies

Pattison is my favourite Bruce Wayne in that there is no Bruce Wayne at least not yet.

Keaton

I’m surprised Keaton is winning the poll. Just never worked for me. I’ll take Bale and the Nolan films all day over any of the others. But hey, that’s just MO.

Keaton, Bale a close second

Dragon78 · 05-15-2023, 10:56 AM

The best one isn't on the list.

UltraMario9 · 05-15-2023, 11:19 AM

Affleck. Even though his films were some of the worst, his Batman was the best parts about them.

Michael11 · 05-15-2023, 03:33 PM

Keaton easily. He did something that no other actor has done, he gave Batman a really sassy attitude which just works somehow.

Makes me laugh how out of shape Afflecks Batman looks in comparison to all the others....i know he's supposed to look really muscular but he's got that bodybuilder bloated gut going on.

Bale's voice is unfortunately too silly and really takes away for his portrayal.

Keaton.

Exactly. I thought Batfleck would have been perfect for a Dark Knight Returns film with that look, but not in his prime years.

Love the Dark Knight films, but Bale really didn't bring anything new or different to the role. Raspy Bats just didn't cut it for me...

Honestly can't decide who to vote for. Keaton, Affleck, and Patton all have things I love.
