Who is your favorite Batman?

A completely relevant question, I believe!! I have 2 categories. 1 - respect, reverence. In this category, these are my top 3.

  1. Adam West - 1960's Batman that I grew up with. He is old school, but the example all others are judged by.
  2. Michael Keaton - the first reincarnation of Batman since the 60's and the best and only choice of that reboot series of Batman (wearing black with nipples).
  3. Will Arnett Lego Batman, if you've seen the movies, 'nuff said!!

Now - my second category is entertainment. Which Batman is the most entertaining. These are my choices.

  1. Will Arnett - again, if you've seen the movies, you know what I mean. His character is out-of-control funny.
  2. Michael Keaton - absolutely love his interpretation of the character ... 'I am Batman, I am Batman'!
  3. Adam West - corny as hell, dry humor, comic book style. So good if you look at it from that point of view.

These are my favorites, what are yours?

Did you ever notice that at points in the Michael Keaton version, he sounded a lot like Beetlejuice??

Yup, love the campy old Adam West version. Never read the comics, so I grew up on the sixties TV show. Turning him into the gritty, serious character of the later movies just seems such a waste to me.

Michael Keaton for me, hands down. And Nicholson is easily the best Joker.

Batman is supposed to be dark. Christian Bale is my favorite because he was the darkest.

For sheer tongue in cheek fun..has to be Adam West..he sat a bar..that nobody bothered to follow..but I guess that zany Bat man would just be too much for contemporary scriptwriters to translate into big budget movies..shame really.

It has to be Adam west. He knew the premise was ridiculous and pitched his performance accordingly. I do rate the more gothic Tim Burton Batman, and the gritty Chris Nolan one very highly, but neither Keaton nor Bale beat the sheer joy and warmth of Adam West and those old TV episodes.

On a side note, Jack Nicholson is my favourite joker.

I let go of comics at 12. Never to return. Batman was supposed to be an acrobat without superpowers... well I saw The Great Walenda die in P.R. doing his acrobat act. No bromance with fantasy for me. Sorry.

Category 1:

  • Kevin Conroy - He will always be the voice of Batman to me
  • Michael Keaton - He was the first "dark" (gothic, somber, tragic) Batman in a movie that felt like Batman

Category 2:

  • Will Arnett - Only reason for this pick is the LEGO Batman movie was made to be silly so Will's version is quite entertaining because he can say things that live-action Batman or The Animated Series Batman couldn't
  • Adam West - The era of this show and Adam's performance was silly and would not be anywhere close to the Batman we know today. So that makes it entertaining

My favourite Batman is Bruce Wayne (there are differences in other media) 😉

As for film and TV, Adam West without a doubt.
