The Best Batman.

[-Batman-]

I wanted to make a thread.

Everyone loves Batman. Arguing this point is invalid and will be met with scorn from the heavens. Even on an Anime Forum, Batman is awesome.

However, many men have portayed The Dark Knight of Gotham City since his creation.
So tell me Animu Forum.
Which Bat's the best Bat?

Kevin Conroy is my choice.
He's voiced Batman longer than most other actors have played him combined, and most fans will read Batman in comics with Conroy's voice. Not to mention he did a good job voicing both Bruce AND Batman.
It could have been like Clooney and Keaton, who never even tried to disguise their voices, or Bale who...Well...You all know Bales Batvoice.
He got it perfect. They sounded similar, but diffrent enough to where you couldn't tell it was the same person.

Our resident -Batman- (i.e. you) is the best batman. Though Adam West comes in a close second.

[Forgotten Show]

Conroy's the guy who did the cartoons for the longest time, right? If so I'm picking him.


Bad Memory

I always associate Batman's voice with Conroy, but Bale's performance is certainly the best of the movie portrayals.

Bad Memory

Correct.

-Batman The Animated Series
-New Batman Adventures

• Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
• Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
• Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero

-Batman Beyond

• Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

-Superman The Animated Series
-The Zeta Project
-Static Shock
-Justice League
-Justice League unlimited

-Batman: Vengeance
-Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
-Batman: Arkham Asylum

-Batman: Gotham Knight
-Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

Think that's all of them.

Kevin Conroy, although I do love Adam West's cheese factor.

[OminousCloud]

I got into Batman because of Conroy!

[DeMoNoFtHeFaLl666]

Christian Bale. I really like how batman begins & the dark knight were done. I mean the bad guys ( scare crow, the joker) were done in an cool way, it just made them seem so dark like a real villan.

I can't pick Frank Millers Batman no? Not even Jeph Loeb's Bat? How bout Kevin Smiths Cacophony Batman?

I picked Conroy because of the animated series. It was my first Batman so I could hardly not pick him. Adam West comes in second with Bale in third.

The poll is based on Actor Portrayal.
Since ink on paper is not a live actor or a voice actor, comic incarnations of Batman do not count.

[DOOM!]

I think Batman was The Best.

 

Même Alert!

[Bulma1017]

Kevin Conroy The best Batman Voice Actor EVER!!! The 1993 Animated Series was the Best Ever!! But I have to admit it was Adam West who got me into The Batman in the first place. Right next to Christian Bale, who to me is the second best! (Why so Serious??) Tee Hee YaY's!!

[Baka]

I voted for Adam West.

[Cantelope]

Going with Christian Bale, he's the only one who knows how to treat the ladies

[Megamind's Minion]

i did not live long enough to know some of them...
ooh well, aside fom comic..
i did enjoy Christian Bale....
he's a wonderful dude... <the perfect Howl voice>
w/ the voice it completes the face....

[~*Red*~]

Conroy is the best by far in my opinion

[Yew Neek™]

christian bale

[ultra_maniac]

i prefer conroy always

[Hautalken]

CONROY! CONROY!


I remember his voice. And I always recall it when I do get to read the comics ^^

[Opinionated]

Conroy is the Batman I have the most exposure to, and I like his voice. A close second, however, is Bale for his more serious portrayal.

[Akira Son Bio]

Keaton hands down. Was part of the most epic Batman ever (yes, even better than the one with Ledger which was only good because he killed the Joker role). Adam West gets some love in this post too. The original show was cool, plus the stuff he has done on Family Guy and Fairly OddParents is epic.

[Shwayze]

Conroy all the way!

[bakakame]

Christian Bale get's the good fortune of playing the one (live action) Batman that was competently directed, but yea I grew up hearing the voice of Kevin Conroy, and that will ALWAYS be the Batman I remember.

[Sanosuke23]

Kevin Conroy takes it, but Christian Bale gets notable mention for being the best at making Batman seem like a guy trying to be scary. That's exactly what he is, after all, so the Batvoice is forgivable imo.

[Capitán]

Christian Bale. In my opinion, he was the toughest batman. I've seen some of the others and Kevin Conroy comes in a very close second.
