Movie Batmans, Ranked
This very subject was discussed in a recent conversation with four or five extremely successful business people, all of whom I would hazard to guess consider themselves very smart persons. Which just proves the world needs to know, Which movie Batman is the best movie Batman?
So without delay I present the unscientific, unresearched, completely subjective, and yet 100% accurate list of Movie Batmans, Ranked.
6. Ben Affleck Batman - "Batman vs. Superman", 2016
Hard to say for sure until the movie comes out. But if Affleck thinks Batman is a match for Superman then he is insane. Which he is. Batman I mean. Possibly. Also, Affleck was TERRIBLE as Daredevil.
5. Val Kilmer Batman - "Batman Forever", 1995
Should have held out for a "Top Gun" remake instead of donning the cape and cowl.
4. George Clooney Batman - "Batman & Robin", 1997
Possibly the worst overall movie on this list. Clooney just never seemed to fit the role. Batman shouldn't be so perfectly handsome I think.
3. Adam West Batman - "Batman: The Movie", 1966
For a generation, Adam West was Batman. This was before Batman became the Dark Knight of course. West's Batman was more like the Chubby Knight. But is deadpan delivery of some of the most absurd dialogue in the character's history places him in the Top 3.
2. Christian Bale Batman - "Batman Begins", 2005; "The Dark Knight", 2008;, "The Dark Knight Rises", 2012
Probably the best overall actor on this list, Bale was just about perfect as the 'modern', darker Batman. Bale's Batman was intense, brooding, and violent. Which is exactly what the best Batman stories were all about.
1. Michael Keaton Batman - "Batman", 1989; "Batman Returns", 1992
Back in 1989, Keaton seemed an unlikely choice to play a vigilante superhero. Better known for comic roles in movies like "Night Shift" and "Mr. Mom", somehow Keaton nailed the Batman role with a mix of dark and witty. His "I'm Batman" line sums it up the best - Keaton was Batman.
There you have it. Glad to settle an argument you possibly didn't know you were having.
You can let me know if the comments if you disagree with these rankings, but as I mentioned, you would be wrong.
Have a great weekend!
