Ben



1. Kevin Conroy - Grew up with BTAS, will always be my definitive Batman
2. Ben Affleck - I absolutely loved the way he portrayed both Bruce and Batman in BvS
3. Christian Bale - The Dark Knight Trilogy was great, Bale was a great Bruce and a decent Batman
4. Adam West - Love the campy style of the 60s
5. Michael Keaton
6. Val Kilmer
7. Will Arnett - Even though I haven't seen his Batman it has to be better than Clooney's
8. George Clooney



I actually liked Michael Keaton a lot, the script for Batman Returns let him down.

Bale was good I thought, I liked the Batvoice, I don't care what people say.

Ben Affleck was decent, but I don't really like that version of Batman ... just using guns all the time to kill baddies ... is it Batman or Murderman?

Lego Movie was surprising to me and Will made such an impression Lego Batman will get its own stand alone in 2017.  Should see lot more of him in that.

Kevin Conroy.

Why don't you make a poll about this?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Ben Affleck easily.

Same for Superman, the best is Henry Cavill, he was the only one to have the real physic for it ( plus he has the best suit, that part has nothing to do with his talent but it helps a lot , same for Batman , the problem of old movies is they had no artistic sense for suits, some things can be visually good in comics but not in a movie, the one of the dark knight was good but i didnt like how thin he was and the suit had too much technology, he didnt feel reeally strong ( except in batman begins) )



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

And it seems everyone forgot Brandon Routh

Poor guy, after his mediocre character in Aarrow and Legends of Tomorrow, he lost all credibility, i had totally forgot he played Superman in Superman Returns ! He fell so much...

1. Kevin Conroy - The definitive voice for Batman.
2. Ben Affleck - The best live action Batman we've ever seen. Almost everything about him straight from the comic books.
3. Christian Bale - Dark Knight trilogy is one of the greatest ever. He played a great Bruce Wayne and a decent Batman. His Batman could have been much better, but Nolan wanted a realistic Batman.
4. Michael Keaton
5. Will Arnett
6. Adam West
7. Val Kilmer
8. George Clooney



George Clooney
