Your Favorite Batman/Bruce Wayne Actor...

Iron Bison · 11-28-2003, 10:39 PM

Which Actor who potrayed Batman is your favorite?

Mine is Micheal Keaton, he absolutely rocked as Batman, I liked his look and attitude, he's just plain cool.

Wow....i havnt seen this poll or subject before !!

~~Leo656~~ · 11-28-2003, 11:44 PM

Who cares if it's been done... just about everything has...

Michael Keaton by far. It'll take a lot for someone to outdo him in my eyes. He captured the character perfectly from both sides (Batman AND Bruce Wayne).

hey i made this poll before.but it was difference

Kevin Conroy is missing from that list... In the modern Batman movies Keaton was the best by far, But my vote goes to Adam West.

I'm torned between Keaton and Kilmer. It's too bad that Kilmer didn't get a better script/costume/scenography/etc to work with...

From Val Kilmer's appearance on Conan O'Brien, some month ago:
Conan: Let's talk about Batman!
Val: No...

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-29-2003, 08:35 AM

*cqb101* · 11-29-2003, 12:43 PM

Michael Keaton. He's the only one to do the 'Dark Knight' and Adam West both justice. I remember when it was announced that he would don the cape and cowl for the Tim Burton Batman film. Everyone hated the idea, they couldn't see such a comic actor, being Batman. And I'll agree, it seemed ludicrous at the time. But when the movie opened, I was blown away at just how good a serious actor Michael Keaton could be. It's not an easy roll to fill, that's for sure.

Big names like Val Kilmer and George Clooney definatly showed that it's very easy to bomb big time in the roll. Plus the other casting in Batman/Batman Returns was great. Nicholson as the Joker, Pheiffer as Catwoman, Deveto as Penguin. And then it goes downhill with Jim 'Overacting' Carrey as Riddler, Arnie as Mr. Freeze, and Uma as Poison Ivy. Tommy Lee Jones was ok as Two-Face, but his roll was cut down to almost nothing thanks to Carrey's Riddle.

By the way, MTN...this might help some:

Adam West - Campy 60's Batman TV Series/Movie
Michael Keaton - Batman and Batman Returns
Val Kilmer - Batman Forever
George Clooney - Batman & Robin

*R-iZZy* · 11-29-2003, 01:42 PM

Oh God, Michael Keaton took this by far, no doubt about it!

*Raven* · 11-29-2003, 01:51 PM

easy!!!! me....i mean micheal keaton, he did the best job, the others seemed to be riping him off.
well not adam west, hes cool.....but only when i was little.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-29-2003, 02:20 PM

"My Life" is another great example of Keaton as a serious actor. I love that movie. It hits home for me in so many ways.

And I knew Batman Forever would suck as soon as I saw Carrey's name attached to it. He really did overact way too much.

*Voltron* · 11-29-2003, 02:40 PM

Someone voted for Clooney?

Mondo J. Gecko · 11-29-2003, 02:49 PM

I vote Adam West..... just cause I like the old show.

One Radical Dude · 11-29-2003, 03:04 PM

Michael Keaton. He was BORN to play the role of Batman.
