Kudos to Adam West for playing the first Batman... personally, if someone asked me to wear tights and a cloth mask in front of millions (actually TV wasnt so common, so maybe thousands) of viewers in that time period, i would definately have to look real hard at that paycheck...
Micheal Keaton did play Batman very well, i just think his Bruce Wayne was just a little bit under par...
And then there's Batman Begins. Hoorah.
Why?
Cuz Batman's a ninja.
Automatic awesomeness. =P
In all honesty, i think this latest movie was able to do 2 great things at once; A. Nail Bruce Wayne's character, 2., nail Batman's character.
Badda Bing
West wasn't the first Batman he is the third. the first was Lewis Wilson back in 1943.

And the second was Robert Lowery in 1949

I think all the movie Bruce Wayne and Batman were great except Clooney and Kilmer.
