best actor to play batman
 

who was the best actor to play batman?

Keaton and West were both incredible. Everyone else sucked.

Voltron speaks the truth!

I vote Adam West.

keaton

the only 2 good batman movies were with him

Gotta go with Keaton on this one. With all due respect to West, it took decades for the comic to undo all the damage that show did. That was borderline character assassination.

Indeed it was. But I'll give the old Batman show one piece of credit. I don't believe it is too widely known, but DC was thinking of cancelling the Batman comic book series before the Adam West show premiered. However, with the show, the character's popularity increased by a great deal, so they kept the comic book alive. Anyway, my vote's for Keaton--a lot of people thought he couldn't play the role before they saw the movie, but he did a great job. As for the other two actors, I'll quote SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy with Matthew Perry playing Michael Keaton:

TREBEK: Your answer--Val Kilmer sucks. And your wager--George Clooney sucks.
KEATON: I'm Batman.

:D

The old 1966 Batman series was great, I mean, every villian was played by a classic movie star. Adam West is the true Batman, but Keaton was great in the first and second newer films.

Did you ever see the 1960s batman movie staring Adam West? I loved that movie.. HE HAD BAT-SHARK REPELENT!!! HOW GREAT IS THAT!!!!

:lol: GK or anyone, do you remember the scene, when Bats and Robin are nearly hit by that missile, then there is a cut and in the next scene they are both safe, saying a dolphin sacrificed its life to rescue them?
Hilarious! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol:
I'm tellin' ya that was quality programming!!

Batman was always doing stupid stuff like that. Do you remember that scene in the 1966 movie were he runs around trying to get rid of that giant bomb, but something was always in his way?

Adam West

and as a side note, I read at Super Hero Hype yesterday they may be talking to Matt Damon to be the new Batman

Keaton.
Off-topic, give me the movie Robin any day! 8)

Yeah that was a great scene, had to be one of my favorites just do to how.. I guess Silly is the word it for it, it was

nobody voted for george clooney.
how bad was he as batman?

He wasn't so bad, but the movie made him seem far worse

"Some days you can't get rid of a bomb!" :lol:

Clooney was pretty terrible as Batman. The movie was far worse that his acting, true, but his acting was atrocious, so I guess that makes the movie downright, um, supercalifragilisticexpiala-atrocious. :P His acting was as wooden as ever I've seen. Take this line for example, where it should go:

BATMAN: Freeze! You're mad!

A terrible line in and of itself, but here's how Clooney delivers it:

BATMAN: Freeze you're mad.

God-awful movie. They basically made it like a newer version of the campy 60's show--but the thing is, the campy show only worked in the 60's, and only works now as a goofy nostalgic thing that's entertaining because it's so ridiculous and makes fun of itself. But nowadays, real Bat-fans don't tend to go for the campy stuff--at least I don't.

Well I do love the old show, but Keaton was still a better batman... 4D4mW3sT F0R3V3R1!!!!1
