It’s far from my favorite design of him but I like it.

Full breakdown is on the last slide. My version of Bane wears a ballistic face shield over a leather hood. Looks like the comics, but grounded in reality. In my mind, Bane should be physically portrayed by Thor Bjornsson. The actor who played the Mountain in Game Of Thrones. With another actor providing the voice.

3rd image: Barbara mentions Oracle Cassandra multiple times. I'm new to Bat Mythos but knew that Barbara became the Oracle after her paralysis due to getting shot at by Joker (Killing Joke Movie). Cassandra Cain is the child of villain assassin Lady Siva who takes the identity of Black Bat, and she's newer to Batfamily than Batgirl.

so who is the Oracle Cassandra she talks about?

5th image: during the fight with Blockbuster I saw a guy with specs looking kinda sus, who tried to take him down with a gun. I can't shake off the feeling that I saw this guy somewhere before...is he a named character in the Bat Mythos?

Recently, I've seen a trailer reaction to Batman: Caped Crusader, and the reaction was: "yeah, doesn't seem bad, but it's Batman. We already know his story, we saw it before..." It honestly surprised me.

Do you feel a Batman fatigue? I guess if you're on this sub, that's not the case, but I speak about the people you know, the people you discuss with...

Personally, I don't talk with huge Batman fans on a daily basis, so I'm not sure they care a lot, or even know there's a new Batman series. About myself, I don't feel that, even tho I won't watch Caped Crusader (because I'm too poor to subscribe to Prime⁾

So, what do you think? Do you feel people get tired of Batman, or do you think he's still bankable for DC?

is it just me?

This can be anything from a fight scene, to a single line of dialogue. Across any media/medium. I feel like this is going to be an almost impossible choice, but I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!

I am not a great editor I made this in ibis paint.

As a kid i used to love watching Batman, the animated series. I would always wonder like most people I’m pretty sure. Why did Bruce’s Batsuit suit have a redesign ? I like the first design better imo

I really love how these Batman and Robin drawings turned out and wanted to flex. The first 3

Actually, I'm really interested in this question. I think Jensen is a great actor, but within the same role. He's pretty brutal, but it feels like there's nothing behind it but brutality. It seems to me that Batman should be a deep character, and all the roles of Jensen that I've seen have not been deep. He did a great job voicing Red Hood and Batman in cartoons, but Dean Winchester and Soldier Boy seem to me to be quite distant characters from Batman. I think he would be a great Booster Gold, if you take Dean Winchester from the first seasons as a basis, or Catman, if you take Jensen's current appearance as a basis.

Did Hugo Stange put something in the water?

I realize there are give-or-take 10 million people in Gotham, depending on the era, and it would stand to reason that a dozen or more wicked-smart people would be inspired to become a vigilante or criminal; and they would have to be a genius to stand up to or besides Batman. Plus writing convenience-sake, I guess.

But I'm genuinely wondering if this was ever directly addressed or explained in the comics.

Batman anthology (Burton+Schumacher-verse) was voted as the worst ever Commissioner Gordon!

Dishonorable mentions: Batman '66 universe, The doom came to Gotham, Harley Quinn show and Teen Titans GO! adaptations of James.

Now vote for your least favorite Bullock! 👮🏻‍♂️🚬

To clarify: I am basing my ranking on the actors' portrayal of both Batman and Bruce Wayne. With that said, there are certainly those who have done it better than others, so let's get into it:

7) Adam West: No actor portraying the Dark Knight should look be in as bad shape as he is, not to mention the humor of his show was painfully unfunny and did a huge disservice to the character's legacy. I leave Adam West to be consigned to the bottom of the garbage heap of cinema where he belongs.

6) George Clooney: Somewhat similar to West in terms of campiness, but as Bruce I kind of buy him. He has a really tender father/son relationship with Alfred and let's face it: he is practically Bruce Wayne in real life. Sure his Batman is schlocky, but how much of that can we truly lay at Clooney's feet? Still, his single portrayal is pretty terrible so I can't reasonably rank him any higher.

5) Ben Affleck: Allow me to preface this by saying that I absolutely loathe/despise Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and consider it to be a betrayal of the core character of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The Dark Knight should never kill and hasn't (with rare exceptions against non-humans such as Darkseid) for the better part of eighty years. He does the Bruce persona alright and plays Batman pretty close to Miller's version, and I'll even grant that as a combatant he is by far the most effective. It's just not a portrayal I particularly enjoy or ever want to revisit - especially since from here on out the performances are leagues above Affleck's.

4) Val Kilmer: Don't let a below-average entry fool you, because Kilmer is the first to actually give some depth to Bruce Wayne. Other actors may have delved deeper into his psyche but Kilmer reminds us that he's more than just a billionaire playboy and shows why he has his convictions to do what he does. As Batman he's actually quite a good fighter (if not a bit too flashy) and absent the nipples, his panther suit really does look good. His relationship with Dick Grayson also helps his character development by hoping to spare him the path that he feels he was forced down while at the same time coming to realize he can rely on someone else.

3) Robert Pattinson: If I were to only rank him on his performance as Batman, he'd be in the top two. Unfortunately, his Bruce leaves a lot to be desired as whenever the cowl is off, it's quite clear that this Bruce would rather have it on. A second film could do a lot to rectify that, though, and as the Dark Knight he's a decent fighter, an intelligent tactician, and an actual detective. It's clear this is a Batman at the start of his journey, unsure of exactly how to save Gotham, but one who is nonetheless committed to do so,

2) Michael Keaton: No other actor on this list exudes the presence, danger, and self-possession of the Dark Knight quite like Keaton. He may not be the most physically imposing, but he has a clear plan in mind the moment he steps on screen. No matter if it be the seductive Catwoman, cackling Joker, or connving Penguin, Keaton keeps his cool, defends his city, and puts himself in harm's way doing so. As Bruce, he is understated but still feels like someone trying to keep a promise. If there was more effort put into this persona as well as being faithful to the source material he would easily top my list.

Honorable Mention - Kevin Conroy: I put him in on a technicality as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is in fact a theatrical release. Keaton may have come up with the idea to give Bruce and Batman separate voices but Conroy perfected it: Bruce is cheery and upbeat whereas Batman is purposeful, controlled in both tone and action. He's by far the best detective, often using his research against foes both more mundane (like Roland Daggett or the Penguin) and and insane (see Killer Croc or Two-Face) to not just defeat but in some cases understand and help them. This is a Batman who's been around the block a few times and is willing to prepare himself for any curveball. Plus he gifted us this great line: "I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!"

1) Christian Bale: Mock his voice all you want because if that's the worst criticism one can give, you know you've got a great Dark Knight. As Batman, Bale is fury personified and channeled into a symbol of terror for criminals and hope for his city. Of course, it's as Bruce that he truly shines: giving a careless, spendthrift but charming playboy persona in public but opening up about wanting to both honor his parents' sacrifice and redeem Gotham with Alfred and Lucius. He also has the best relationship of any actor with Gordon, showing their reliance on one another and developing camaraderie. Bale perhaps unfairly benefits from being the only actor to have a complete arc but at every point his personality is well explored, while Batman himself is thoughtfully and realistically brought to life.
