Bale my favorite Batman

Word, same here.

For the longest, it was Michael Keaton for me just for the first Batman movie, but the more I go back and watch Bale's trilogy of Batman the more I think he was a better Batman.

Bale did an outstanding job and all of his Batman movies were great.

I can understand that.
It's like Michael Keaton played Bruce Wayne very eccentric and sometimes his Bruce would get defensive when people criticized Batman. Bales Bruce Wayne was like "vigilante Justice?! Who does that guy think he is? :hhh:". Bales Bruce Wayne was more calculated imo

I never liked Keaton as Batman. I mean I liked him as BATMAN but not as Bruce Wayne. He didn't come across as some playboy billionaire ladies man like in the comics. Christian Bale was perfect as Bruce Wayne and Batman. I would rank Affleck higher but we never got a solo film with him.

I'll take Bale as a better Batman despite the kind of stupid voice, but I actually liked the everyday but psychologically troubled Bruce Wayne Keaton portrayed in the Tim Burton movies.
