I voted Kilmer just to ____ with people although he wasn't better or worse than Keaton or Clooney IMHO.
I would have gone with Conroy as well.
IMHO:
Superman - Tim Daly
Batman - Kevin Conroy
Spider-Man - Christopher Daniel Barnes.
Nuff' Said.

I voted Bale.
Wilson did a great job as well as Batman of that time period.

I like Bale's Bruce Wayne the most. His Batman was great in Begins, but not as good in TDK. No one does Batman as good as the comics, so in a way they all fail.
(I've never seen BTAS, and in the one episode I've seen, he wasn't so hot. But, my favorite cartoon portrayal was the fourth segment of Gotham Knight, and Conroy rocked. So...I need to go buy season 1 of BTAS.)

Voted for Keaton of course. Bale makes an ok Bruce/Bats.
Never got the Conroy thing. That's just cartoon voice over work and doesn't really show the range like live action IMHO.

Clooney looks the most like the ideal Bruce Wayne imo and his strong jawline looked good with the mask but that script and Schumacher sabotaged any potential.
The hands down best Bats so far has been the CGI incarnation with Conroys voice in Arkham Asylum.
That is THE Batman.

I tried to but I just couldn't get into the animated stuff.

True, but Batman isn't one of them 
No, it is Dan Gilvezan, who did his voice on Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. Same guy who did Bumblebee's voice.

For me it's Christian Bale as he portrays all three of Wayne's personalities perfectly for me. The troubled and damaged Bruce Wayne looking for a normal life, The pretend Bruce, who is a brash Playboy, and Batman who strikes fear into his enemies.
I've liked every actors version its the movie as a whole that gets me. I was a kid when all those Batman movies from the 90s were out and I enjoyed them for what they were. Of course I like Christopher Nolan's films the best now that I'm an adult,but I don't hate the other movies.

Dont worry, i know what you mean. I thought ledger was really good at what he was doing, but he wasnt the joker to me. Just a random psycho. He didnt have that joker playfulness from the comics. WAYYY overrated.
But thats not what the threads about so i dont wanna derail it. I voted for bale, but it was kinda hard between him and keaton. I grew up with keaton as batman and still adore his take and think it was awesome. However, if im fair, i think bales is much closer to the comics and the way i think batman should be. Moreso in batman begins than the dark knight, i thought he was perfect in begins. Like dinolast said, showing all three personalities, playboy bruce, emotionally damaged bruce, and batman.
none! dean winchester

Too hard to choose.
Conroy is fantastic, but he delivered the voice (a great one at that), the rest was up to the animators. Combined, I think they make the ideal Batman, atleast my ideal Batman but it's not really fair to compare BTAS Batman to the live action versions.
The film actors had to portray Batman/Bruce Wayne with vocals, looks, in the Bat-suit, as Bruce Wayne, and other acting ranges for the on screen character.
So for me, Conroy, or more importantly "BTAS" Batman is in a league of it's own. My favorite "Batman" but in non-live action form.
For me, it's a toss up between Christian Bale and Michael Keaton. I should note however I prefer their FIRST performances as Batman. Bale in Begins and Keaton in Batman.
Bale in TDK annoys me and there are only a few parts where I enjoy Keaton as Batman in Returns. It's like both actors were either trying too hard or were bored. That along with Bale's ridiculous nasal growls and Keaton's ____ faced grin after strapping a bomb to a thug make me root for the villians, Ledger Joker, Penguin and Catwoman even more.
Christian Bale is fantastic as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Begins, I thought he was the perfect choice to portray the character in '04/'05. We were shown Batman, two versions of Wayne, and he had a wide range of other likeable traits as Batman. It felt like we were along for his journey in becoming Batman, following him in the prison camps, to flashbacks as a child, to the training to become Batman. The film was a great origin story/Batman movie because of Bruce Wayne and we knew more of him than the previous films.
Michael Keaton portrayed a neurotic, anti-social Batman. Really mysterious and full of angst. As Bruce Wayne, he kind of had a childish, Clark Kent thing going on, like he COULDN'T or didn't want to be Bruce Wayne. He preferred being Batman and his attitude completely changed. Surveying the city in front of dozens of monitors, having a hard nosed, no nonsense look on life. It was great. He was essentially THE Batman throughout the film, with "Bruce Wayne" being the mask.
Conroy is king because I love BTAS and Keaton and Bale are interchangeable depending on what type of Batman/Bruce Wayne I want to see.
