Michael Keation appeared as Batman in 1989 and played the character in two films. But chose not to reprise his role in the third movie because of the replacement of Tim Burton. Even though he only appeared in the two flims and as a cameo in the Flash Movie, he still remains a lot of people's favorite version of Batman.

Michael Keaton

Val Kilmer was Batman in the movie Batman forever after Michael Keaton didn't reprise his role. The movie was supposed to be a sequal to the Michael Keation movies but was quickly retconed. Val Kilmer didn't enjoy playing the dark knight due to the bat suit limiting his performance. Overall things that happened behind the scenes impacted him. His suit also had nipples for no reason.

After the Batman forever Val Kilmer didn't reprise his role and was replaced by George Clooney. George Clooney appeared as the dark knight in the infamous Batman and Robin movie. His movie is considered by the fandom as the worst Batman movie to be ever made. But he has said he is sorry about the movie many times. But in the new Flash movie he reprised his role as Bruce Wayne in the end credit scene.

After shelfing the dark knight for a bit, Warner bros gave the dark knight another shot in 2005 With the movie Batman Begins staring Christian Bale. Christian Bale played the dark knight in three films and his movies are considerd one of the best super hero films of all time. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger’s roles as the dark knight and the prince of crime are just as iconic as Kevin Conroy and Mark hamill.

Christian Bale

After the Nolan trilogy ended Warner Bros wanted to start a DC movie universe like the MCU. They casted Ben Affleck to play the dark knight and he firsted appeared in the movie Batman V Superman. He appeared as Batman in five different films but did not have his own film. It was planned for him to have his own solo film but it was scrapped.

Ben Affleck

After Ben Affleck stepped away from being Batman for the DCEU, Robert Paddinson came in as a new Batman in a different universe than the DCEU. Robert Paddinson appeared as the dark knight in the 2022 movie THE BATMAN. Everyone was concerned at first if he was up for the job but after the trailer came out everyone loved him. As of Nov 21, 2023 he is the current Batman. He is also my favorite live action Batman
