So, favorite live-action Batman actor?
So, favorite live-action Batman actor?
This time I'm going in-order from best to worst, imo.
So Christian Bale's my favorite because, imo, as I said before. Whoever plays Batman, has to play 3 roles. The Batman, the playboy, and the real Bruce Wayne. The one only his closest allies see
And in my opinon, Bale's the only one who plays all three.
That, and he's the guy who made me a Batman fan again, at a time where I was losing interest.
And, again, voice didn't bother me that much. (Cept during the "WHERE'S YUR TRIGGER!?" scene from The Dark Knight Rises)
Second favorite is Michael Keaton.
Okay so if the Burton fans haven't already began cursing me for putting Bale above Keaton, hear me out on why.
First off, I love Keaton's Batman, as I said the character is really 3 roles, and as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Batman alone, Keaton is the best.
But I have reasons why I like Bale a bit more.
One, while I love Keaton's Batman, I'm not a huge fan of his Bruce Wayne.
And like the others, but unlike Bale, Keaton felt more like he was just playing 2 roles rather then 3.
Also, with, admittedly, some exceptions, Bale's Batman tries to keep to the "No killing" rule.
Keaton's killed the Joker, and stuck dynamite down a man's pants and walked away as he blew up.
Okay, so, he's pretty much the opposite of my number one.
Bale's is angry and vengeful.
West's is campy and funny.
I'm not gonna lie, I was born in 1992, and grew up on Burton's movies and the animated series. I like my Batman dark and broody.
However, it was the 60's, times were different then and honestly, at-least West put effort in his portrayal, and was entertaining.
Then it's Val Kilmer.
I really don't have much to say for, or against Val Kilmer's Batman.
He's not really terrible, but I wouldn't call him good, I personally think he's kinda bland.
George Clooney as Batman is absolutely atrocious.
He put no effort in his performance.
And, remember how I said I like Bale because he played 3 roles, while most of the actors play 2?
Clooney plays 1. In my opinion there is 0% difference between his Batman and Bruce Wayne.
I don't think I need to go further, it was freakin Batman and Robin, one of the worst superhero movies ever made.

So that's my list from best to worst, I'm probably gonna edit it when Batman v Superman comes out, or make a new thread (probably that)....That being said
If this list was based on the look alone, Affleck would be number 1. He looks like he's straight outta the comics. Plus anyone who's seen his more recent movies know that Ben's acting chops have improved, so I'm actually pretty excited.
