Batman vs. Superman

Christian Bale>David Mazouz>Ben Affleck>Adam West>Michael Keaton>Kevin Conroy>Will Arnett>Val Kilmer>George Clooney

Yep, that's what I think.

Is that your ranking of the Batmen?
I don't know David, Kevin, or Will.

I know that no one else in the world does, but man I loved Val Kilmer as the Bat. I really just did. Something about him gives me warm fuzzies.

Interesting ranking :)

Awww..., how come Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton are so low in your list? Those two guys were the original cinematic Batmen! They should be in at least second or third place (doesn't matter which order) after Christian Bale.

Ah, that makes sense (though in my case, in terms of DW, I think after Capaldi leaves the show, he and Matt/Eleven will be tied at the top of my list of fave Doctors, and Tennant/Ten will drop to second place, even though he was "my" Doctor) 8]. *Nods* I've actually never seen the original Batman series, but I can see why Adam West would be higher up in your list. I presume David Mazouz is the young actor who plays Bruce in Gotham? I watched an episode or two of that, but haven't kept up with it at all.

I haven't yet seen Batman vs. Superman (but I'd like to), so I can't really judge Ben Affleck's performance yet. Sounds like he does a good job with the role, though, and is served well by the writing of it 8]. *Nods* I haven't seen The Lego Movie either.

Regarding Val Kilmer. Huh, interesting. I see Michael Keaton as the broody, kind of distant, somewhat tragic Batman, and Kilmer as the sexy, mysterious one. Christian Bale's is sort of a combination of the two (with a generous bit of darkness thrown in for good measure). As for George Clooney's, it's hard to describe, because so much of Batman And Robin was just... not very good. Clooney (and Chris O'Donnell) did his best with what he was given, but between Arnie's Mr. Freeze, O'Donnell's Robin being killed off, and the, er, nipples on Clooney's Batsuit
*facepalm*, to name just a few things, there was a lot wrong with the writing & design of that film.
