Which Actor was the Best Batman

Aight, so boom! Gotham fam! It’s time to crown the true Dark Knight. From old-school to the new, who really owned the iconic black billionaire body suit. Who did it best? Who made you feel like they weren’t just playing Batman, but they were Batman?

Here’s a quick overview:

1. Michael Keaton (1989 & 1992) – Kicked off the modern era of Batman in Tim Burton’s stylish ’89 movie “Batman” and its sequel “Batman Returns” in ’92. He brought a mix of dark, quirky, and unexpectedly funny to the role.
2. Val Kilmer (1995) – Took over in “Batman Forever” (1995), bringing a more traditional, albeit slightly wooden, superhero vibe.
3. George Clooney (1997) – Starred in “Batman & Robin” (1997), remembered for its campy tone and, well, the bat-nipples.
4. Christian Bale (2005, 2008, 2012) – Revived the franchise with Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy, offering a gritty, intense, and critically acclaimed take on Bruce Wayne, beginning with “Batman Begins” in 2005, “The Dark Knight” in 2008, and “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012.
5. Ben Affleck (2016, 2017, & more) – Debuted in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016) and gave us a more seasoned, physically imposing Batman. Affleck reprised his role in several other DC universe films, including “Justice League” (2017).
6. Robert Pattinson (2022) – The latest to join the bat-family in “The Batman” (2022), showcasing a younger, more detective-focused Batman.
