I liked how Keaton portrayed Batman the best, and I liked how Bale portrayed Bruce Wayne. If only I could put the 2 together... and the other 2... ugh no comment.

That's Joel Schumacher's fault, the moment he took over the franchise from Tim Burton it all went to hell. But yeah Cloony still sucked anyways.

Well Micheal Keaton was good. You maybe referring to the ones who came after him Val Kilmer and George Clooney"
Keaton was pretty good, but Bale is better. The other two are horrible. Riddler saved Batman Forever for me.

Christian Bale is first. Michael Keaton is second. Anyone who says George Clooney is the best should take a .45 and bang. Kill themselves. :P

I would say Bale then Keaton, but it's very close. I don't think Kilmer and Clooney sucked, they're both good actors, but Shumacher had no clue about Batman or what makes him great and that will taint the actor's performance.

I think we can all be grateful that Jon Peters' Superman Lives never made it to production. He had less of a clue than Shumacher.

Clooney maybe a good actor, but he did the worst job at portraying both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Therefore, he sucked in Batman and Robin.

as for downey jr. who better to play tony stark(a drunk) than an actual drunk , shoudlnt be to hard for him. as for best batman keaton was intimidating as batman but there was something missing . kilmer was a better bruce but again there was still something missing and clooney never shouldve gotten the part so that leaves bale now if anyone has ever seen equalibrium with bale they would know that the man is good at what he does so IMO i would have to say bale is the total package.

Well, that's agreeable. Wizard claims that Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in all WB animated superhero cartoons besides The Batman, is the best to portray Batman.

dude I love the animated voice! thats the true batman perfect in every way.

I didnt even want to watch batman begins. I thought to myself why make another one! whats the point! but boy what a good movie I thought it was the best batman movie yet with the 1st batman in second place.

bale is one hell of a batman I say hes first. hes the best bruce wayne and damn scary as the bat. Keton talked better as batman (like basic speaking) but bale seems to fight better and looks like he gets pissed better
