True, he also had a much better supporting cast with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, but will the best for me too.

My favourite film is Batman Returns, so Michael Keaton for me. Closely followed by Bale in Batman Begins. Kenvin Conroy for B:TAS and the Arkham games deserves a mention, also.

Adam West or Christian Bale for me. I know that's two, but they are very different actors and portrayals in their own rights.

But for live-action, I will have to go for Ben Affleck or Christen Bale. Keaton was good, but I can say that Kilmer and Clooney were the worst.

I thought Ben Affleck did a very good job of an aging and darker batman. Sorry to see him go.

But also Bale did a very good job at breathing more life into the series

The problem you have with "who was the best" is that often it comes down to the writing and script for things like this.

Personally I have never been a fan the Michael Keaton Batman movies as I'm not a Tim Burton fan, it was a weird transition between the campy established TV Batman (mixed in with the weird mind of Tim Burton) and the "new" Dark Knight mini series comic created by Frank Miller. Michael Keaton was awesome but everything else surrounding it dragged him down.

Christian Bale worked well for the setting of the realistic Batman but he also, was a weak Bruce Wayne. Plus the voice was far too shouty and not enough natural intimidation.

Affleck, I liked he was just given a weak chance to show much. He was the best part of BvS, Justice League made him be too much of a joke. He was greatly let down by script and direction. Played an older Bruce Wayne really well, and had some great personal fan knowledge of the character. Just poor chance to show it.

I quite liked bale but his batman "growl" was terrible

Kevin conroy has the perfect voice and even did a pretty good live action version of an older,more broken brice Wayne during the crisis crossover, but for me I would say keaton or affleck

Yeah, I got what they tried to go for but it just made him really annoying rather than adding any depth to his character. Didn't help him out that the film was piss poor as well.
