Clark Bartram. Sorry Keaton drones. I'll take a Batman who actually looks like a Frank Miller creation over one who can't turn his head.

My favorite Batman would be George Clooney.He did a good Bruce Wayne and he did a good Batman.Val Kilmer I liked as Bruce Wayne,but not as Batman,he didn't look good in the costume.Michael Keaton made a good Batman and a good Bruce Wayne.

I can barely remember Kilmer. All I recall is Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey on an acid trip.

I'll go with Keaton because until Bale came along he was the ONLY Batman worth a crap in my lifetime. Bale gets a close second though.

I understand that choice. Keaton certainly was terrific in the role. I'm just punch-drunk in love with the Nolanverse, so I'm Bale all the way. I just feel the Nolan films did Batman in a way that for the first time felt genuinely legendary. And that's what I want out of Bats: a mythical figure, a dark creature of the night, a mysterious being that will live forever in the urban legends of Gothamites.

Nolanverse is where it's at for the darker Batman. Burton paved the way, but Nolan took it a step further. At the time Keaton was a welcome antidote to West.
However, I'm now loving the tongue-in-cheek Adam West version. Never thought I'd say that, but I'm really digging the intentional silliness, the old-time feel, and the cool '60s Batmobile.

Honestly, I've never seen the West show, just the movie. So I feel like it would be unfair of me to mock a show I'm not too familiar with. Especially since, from what I've read and been told, it seemed to have nailed the tone it was going for, just like Nolan's saga.

Yes, I think the '60s version set itself up to be mocked. I'm thinking of it now in terms of a Mel Brooks movie.
Conversely, Nolan went for the other end of the spectrum. A very serious tone, which has itself come to be mocked in certain quarters.
For me Nolan's is the true Batman, drawing on what I feel was the best period of the comics. Whereas West's is just a comic version.

The 60's version does have 1 thing going for it even to this day, the hottest Catwoman!! (At least until Dark Knight Rises, then we'll have to see)

The competition is going to be tight.
Free delivery? Catwoman's moonlighting for Pizza Express?

Just because her butt is underrepresented on Google Image search?
(1992, pre-Photos-on-WWW-times)
Yes, it's surprisingly difficult to find a good shot of her shiny derrière. Is this as good as iot gets?
Or even of Halle Berry's?

Yea I agree with Finn. After those 2 shots Monty just posted....not even close. The 60s Catwoman wins hands down!
