I am curious if it is a real photo or if it is photoshopped. If it is the former, whoever did that sure had some audacity!
How so? I think even Jack would agree that he takes second chair to Heath.
My rankings:
As Batman (in uniform and ability to scare the sh*t out of criminals, fight, etc). Kevin Conroy wins easily but if we're talking about more than just voice,
1. Keaton--I still he think he was the epitome of badass. Just the way he glided down and his scowl, his gritty cutting-glass voice. The way he grabbed the muggers in 1989 Batman and said "I'm Batman." His hardcore presence during the Axis Chemicals scene was phenomenal. Set the precedent for all "dark" Batman voices to come (even Conroy's).
2. Bale -- Very scary as well...just a notch below Keaton. He's more of a spook than a badass though. Couldn't really tell the way he was fighting due to bad camera angles. And when he was snarling at Flass hanging upside down, that was kinda forced. So was him shouting "Rachael!!!"
3. Kilmer -- I think he tried to copy Keaton so he wasn't that bad either. Might be tied with Bale just a notch below Keaton. His Batman can fight and has no problems jumping off a ledge and landing smoothy. Voice wan'st as "hardcore" as Keaton's but less "forced" than Bale's.
4. West -- Not a bad Batman for the campy 60s but horrible physique and corny delivery lines were just too "un-modern Batman-like" His boxing and kicking skills were ok if you're dealing with clowns.
5. Clooney -- "Hi Freeze, I'm Batman." ugh. He seemed like a very bored Batman with his crimefighting dedication. Crappy fighting skills too.
As Bruce Wayne, I think Bale and Kilmer had both the looks and tortured persona so they come out on top. Keaton was kind of short...doens't really seem to capture that rich boy image but he seemed most incisive....he's always in deep thought. Clooney was blah as Wayne and as Batman. West acted his Wayne like the way he acted his Batman.
OK Here is my rankings of the actors who have played Batman:
1. Christian Bale: he has given the best performance of the Dark Knight. In all aspects he nails the role perfectly, and he has set the standard for any future actors. He is Batman.
2. Val Kilmer: I liked "Batman Forever", and Kilmer was the best Batman until Bale did it. Unlike Keaton, he could take his shirt off in the movie. The physical part of the role is just as important as the mental part; Val was perfect for the role.
3. Michael Keaton: he wasn't great as Batman, but he was good. The main reason to see "Batman" was Jack Nicholson. Keaton is a good actor, but he was not the best choice for the role. At the time, Alec Baldwin would have been perfect.
4. Adam West: yes, from the campy 60's TV show, he is the first Batman for me. I grew up watching Batman reruns. My favorite was the one when he fought the Green Horton (with Bruce Lee as Kato). Actually, he prefectly represents the character...but from the 1950's comic books. Let me add that he should have been given a cameo role in 1989's Batman. Shame on you Tim Burton!
5. The Onstar commercial Batman: I only saw him in two, 30 second commercials, but I liked what I saw. He was Ok...better than my last choice...
6. George Clooney: the man who also killed the Batman franchise. He was beyond bad. He did NOTHING with the role. He looked bored throughout most of the HORRIBLE movie "Batman and Robin". If I saw him walking down the street, I would spit at his feet. Shame on you Clooney.
'Adam West Batusi Batman (with Sound!) Will Be a Comic-Con Exclusive Mattel Figure'
1- Michael Keaton- He works because just like if Batman were real, he should be 'the last person you'd expect'. I was only 5 at the time but I remember people flipping their shit when it was announced that he was cast. He shut them all up and was the best of the bunch
2- Christian Bale- Almost my favorite- a very close second. Lots of people knocked his 'Bale voice' and I did too for a while but it's grown on me. It made perfect sense for Bruce to change his voice since he's such a public figure; the argument was if Bale took it too far. Keaton's 'Bat voice' was better but Bale still owned the role.
3- Adam West- The 'Roger Moore' of the Batmen. You either love him or hate him. I love that we have an option for serious Batman or fun campy Batman. How many other characters out there share that trait? I mentioned before, I'd still have loved to see West do a serious 60's Batman.....
4- Val KIlmer- He was ok... he totally rode on the shoulders of Keaton's character. I will say that if he stuck around for Batman & Robin, the movie *may* have been better (if nothing else the two movies would have been consistent with their cast). That's a hell of a compliment.
5- George Clooney- We all know his Batman and his whole movie was crap, but I the thing is Clooney isn't a bad actor! With a different director and tone, he may have been great! But it did happen the way it did, so I guess we'll never know. The most impressive part is that George actually lived it down! With a lesser actor, B&R probably would have been their last movie- ever.
oh yes.

ccording to Bleeding Cool, DC plan to release a new comic series this Summer which will be based on the classic Batman show from the '60s which starred Adam West.
Who doesn't like the classic Batman show? Well okay, quite a lot of you have probably never seen it but let me assure you it's frackin hilarious. Now DC plan to release a new comic series based on the exploits of the campiest of camp Batmen (Adam West) and his sidekick Robin The Boy Wonder (Burt Ward).
Newsarama have revealed the details on DC's upcoming Batman '66 series. According to them the series will initially launch as a digital-first comic book in Summer 2013, and will be written by Jeff Parker with rotating artists - starting with Jonathan Case. Later the series will be collected in print. They are also debuting this groovy artwork from the series, giving us a look at Batman, Robin and all of the main villains from the show with only The Penguin conspicuous by his absence. Apparently The Riddler will be the first villain featured.
am I the only one who loved the Batman 1 million suit
There is only one proper reaction to this... ^:)^
And the guy behind him on the left looks like a appropriate henchman.
Ha ha this is funny
Agree the 89 Bat mobile is my favourite, though the 60s Bat mobile is a close second.
those are great !!!
Still awesome looking all the same!
Looks like JGL has been hitting the gym extra hard in case he needs to play Batman!

Agreed. Did you own the toy as a kid? I had that and the Batwing, they were pretty substantial toys! The best I had as a kid.
