Who do you believe is the "best" Batman?

Who do you believe played the best role as Batman, given the choices in the poll? I'm not sure if there already was a thread like this, but I thought that it would be a fun idea to have an informal discussion/debate on this. Recently, I really got back into Batman, mostly because of DC starting the comics again from scratch, and the release of Batman: Arkham City. Mentioning Arkham City, Kevin Conroy did a magnificant job in providing the voice acting for the Dark Knight (just like he did in the Batman animated series in the early 90s). His voice is so iconic, that whenever I read the novels/comics, I always hear Conroy's voice in the dialogs. So, my vote goes to Conroy.

The best Batman is in my signature and avatar, nuff said.

it sure as hell isn't christian bale

Robert Lowery

Christian Bale is way too wooden, but he's the only one I've ever got into live-action wise.

Pure West.

kevin conroy hands down

George Clooney by far

Bale is great as both Bats and Wayne.
Keaton was a good Bats and dopey Wayne.
Kilmer was a good Bats and a wimpy Wayne.
Clooney was a train wreck.
Conroy has great delivery as the voice of both.
West was West, and deserves to be carved onto the side of Mt. Rushmore.

WHy is the poll limited to just 4?

Cristian bale baby.

Didn't someone create a very similar thread a few months back? Find it using the search function, I heard it works great on this forum.

Keaton for me. Those are the two bat movies l grew up watching.

Bale annoys me and the voice he doess annoys me even more.
