Why he’s Bat-tastic: Pow! This incarnation of Batman was definitely the campiest and most ridiculous, but holy heck was he fun to watch. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, West always delivered his lines with conviction and determination. The tone was light, the villains were plentiful and, regardless of how many films they choose to make in the future, Adam West will always be known as the dude who finally brought Batman back to the masses by creating a unique and colorful take on the character. For that, we’ll forever be grateful.
Villains Fought: The Joker (Cesar Romero), The Penguin (Burgess Meredith), Catwoman (Lee Meriwether), The Riddler (Frank Gorshin)
Coolest Gadget: Shark-Repellent Bat-Spray -- for those times when the sharks outnumber them pesky mosquitoes.
Best Quote: “Who knows, Robin? This strange mixing of minds may be the greatest single service ever performed for humanity! Let's go, but, inconspicuously, through the window. We'll use our Bat-Ropes. Our job is finished.”
Holy Final Score, Batman (7): Bam! West’s shtick was cute, cuddly and kinda adorable – in an “Aww, we love you Grandpa” sorta way -- but nowadays fans want a darker Batman; a Batman with issues. If he doesn’t need months of therapy, prescription meds or a couple extra machine guns added to the front bumper of his car, he’s not our Gotham City God.

I got to go with Val Kilmer and Christian Bale

Without a doubt...Michael Keaton made the best Batman to date....his manic personality fit the character perfectly. Val Kilmer was too rigid and Christian Bale's persona was one in which he worked too hard to fit into the role.

Tim Burton just made Batman too dark (or at least put him in the wrong shade of gray). There is nothing that sets Keaton apart from the rest. He makes a decent Batman but an awful Bruce Wayne. Even Val Kilmer was a better Bruce Wayne. When it comes to a iconic, moody but human, vigilante and heroic Batman/Bruce Wayne, you have to go with Christian Bale and Kevin Conroy. I'm not sure who makes a funnier Batman, though: Adam West or George Clooney...

Christian Bale Just Dont Look Tough and Scary, Head is to Narrow and what is with that gruff wispier voice that is hard to understand, Does he eventually turn into Smegal. Look at that pic of Michael Keaton as Batman who wants to mess with that.
