We've got Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale, all actors with credit to their names. Personally, then most gorgeous Batman is definitely George Clooney. But I also like Christian Bale for being the most suited for the timeless role as the Caped Crusader. Who's your favorite Batman?!

I think without a doubt it has to be Michael Keaton. No other actor to have portayed the Bats has managed to portray the torment the inner torment that is so obvious in the comic books. Sure, if all you want is a Mr. Angry Batman, then Christian Bale would be the obvious choice, and he is extremely tasty in a ruck, but Batman is so much more than that. Michael Keaton's Batman is out on the edge of sanity, and at times goes way beyond it. His Batman kills people... there's none of this namby pamby " I'm not going to hurt you " with Keaton... none at all, mirroring the very earliest appearance of the character in the comic books, until it was suggested that he be toned down. Just as an aside, George Clooney would have played a superb Batman if the movie had been any good, and it's a real shame that it wasn't. If they were to ever make a movie of the Dark Knight Returns, I can't think of anyone better suited to play Gotham's finest. Also, if you're allowing voice actors, then Kevin Conroy should also be considered as one of the best Batmen. His portaryal of the Dark Knoght in Warner Brothers' excellent Animated Batman / Justice League series is absolutely first class.

I think Christian Bale is my favorite Batman, because he does a good job with playing both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Not all of the actors who played Batman have been good at both halves of the role, but Christian Bale is. Michael Keaton was also pretty good, but not quite as good as Christian Bale.
