Best Bruce Wayne/Batman Portrayal?

Val Kilmer.

This scene is epic. I don't even mind the "drive thru" line.



His Batman was also the best fighter.




Both Kilmer and Clooney were good as Bruce Wayne. Keaton seemed very stilted and awkward as Bruce and I didn't think he had much charm to him. Kilmer and Clooney were so much more believable as a playboy billionaire philanthropist. I also LOVE Kilmer's glasses.

Christian Bale.

Michael Keeting a close second.

I also liked Kevin Conroy in the animated series. He also turned up in a couple of epsisodes of Cheers.

Keaton by light years. Kilmer and Clooney were both awful, and Bale has all the onscreen warmth of a freezer.

Fuck right off I disagree. Kilmer absolutely NAILED it as Batman and as Bruce. He had the coolest line delivery of any Batman and he looked awesome in the suit. He also seemed to be more conflicted than Keaton's version which made him more interesting. Clooney was a great Bruce and I honestly don't mind his take on Batman that much. I am slightly fond of him as he was my first Batman. I liked the costume and his chemistry with Chris O'Donnell a lot.

Dude, even Clooney admitted he was fucking awful in that film.
