As someone who dislikes Ben Affleck with every fiber of my being, I can't disagree with this assessment. Affleck actually played the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne to near perfection (having to say that made me throw up a little).

Jeremy Irons as Alfred was icing on the cake as the best of the Wayne butlers.

Batman vs. Superman was the most underated superhero movie ever.

Nope, nope, nope. Christian Bale is the Batman GOAT, and Caine’s Alfred owns Irons.

This isn't a fair election. I think the Russians are hacking it.

The only way Adam West won't win is because too many whipper snappers haven't seen him as Batman. He was better than all the rest put together.

Michael Keaton with the absolutely stunning Michelle Pfeiffer on the side.

Actually, I’m voting more for Michelle Pfeiffer....

IMO THE best Batman’s are Adam West, Michael Keaton and Christian Bale, in no order, as each had their own Era of and uniqueNess to the character.

My vote is for Michael Keaton. There has yet to be a really good Batman.

Batman be Superman was a train wreck on every level...

I don’t know why DC doesn’t trust and respect its own source material when it makes a movie..

There was no need for lex Luthor manipulating batman and superman into fighting their inherent personalities and motivations were enough to lead them to loggerheads and the kludging of the doomsday storyline into it was beyond stupid and didn’t work either...

Wonder Woman is probably the first DC super Hero movie in along long time that didn’t just suck.

I actually won a 'Man of Steel Premium Format Figure' from Sideshow Collectibles. Sign up for their emails, you might win something.

Henry Cavill in a retelling of the Superman story. I think he was in Batman vs Superman, but I have no idea who played Batman. That's how much of a non-geek I've become...

Adam West, if you lived during those times all others pale. I did like Keaton and Bale.

I couldn’t even finish watching that movie for free.

Turned it off when the stupid monster thing showed up.

Total CGI crapfest.

Michael Keaton was great as both Batman and Wayne. Campy movies though. Bale was great as both as well, but his growl as Batman got annoying. Kilmer was a really good Batman but sucked as Wayne. I have yet to see the Affleck movies but from what I’ve seen I think he does a great job.

And no ... I won’t even discuss the Clooney Batman.

There is no live-actioned personified Batman without Adam West.
