America Picks Its Favorite Batman

Of all the actors to have ever donned the Batsuit, who’s your favorite? If you said, Christian Bale, most of America would agree with you.

In a new poll taken by The Hollywood Reporter, 39 percent give the thumbs up to Bale’s performance, with Michael Keaton, who played Batman in 1989 and 1992, just one percent behind in second place.

George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Val Kilmer, all get nods, earning 19, 18, and 17 percent from respondents.

Interestingly, the original TV Batman, Adam West, was left off the list, as well as Kevin Conroy, who voiced the Dark Knight in the animated series and video games.
