Rank who played Batman the best

[Quinn]

IMO, Bale was the only good one, though I agree that West was appropriate for the campier version in his day (definitely the right voice). I like Keaton, Kilmer, and Clooney as actors, but I think they were terrible in that role.

[Night Rider]

Michael Keaton - End of topic

Actually, I'm going to change my position. I think that, rather than paying the Penguin, Danny Devito should have played Batman. How funny would that have been?

It's been a while since I've seen any of the Batman flicks (And longer since I've seen West's role - He was my first GG gf's father's roomie at college ). But I respect Stillies take on all things comic-related and will pretty much agree on his opinions relative tho the =real= Dark Knight.

as a whole i still love the 1st batman..from the cast to the soundtrack

Keaton - Best Bruce Wayne (when Batman came out, I said "hooray for casting for Bruce Wayne and not for Batman. Any muscular actor could play Batman, but it takes something else to play Bruce Wayne.")

Bale - Best Batman, second best Wayne (and a nice, slightly dark spin on a younger, beginning character)

West - Best campy Batman: West is no great actor, but his Batman was perfect for its portrayal and time

Kilmer - I too was surprised neither his Batman nor his Wayne weren't better; I blame the writers, not the actor

Clooney - Teabagger got it right: "Worst. Batman. Ever."

Christian Bale of course he had the best story line.
