I think you should add the guy who played Batman in The Animated Series. You'll probably be surprised by how many vote for him.

I think Bale was the best Batman, but I liked Micheal Keaton as Bruce Wayne more.

But came off as a bit more likable, which seemed to work for me better than the douchebatman.

Bale benefited from better movies, but Keaton was a much better Bruce. And I still don't like Bale-Batman's growl voice. It doesn't ruin the movies, but it certainly takes me out of the movie sometimes.

Bale has been the only Batman that has been physically imposing. His voice doesn't bother me.

I voted for Bale. Maybe it's because his movies were that much better, but I also think he is a talented actor. His voice as Batman is actually the worst part of it.

Keaton had major potential as an actor, but has made few great movies, even if he was a good Batman. Kilmer and Clooney have better careers, but didn't work out as Batman.

Keaton had everything you'd want in a Batman except the physicality.
