The following is a list of cast members who voiced or portrayed characters appearing in the Batman films. The list is sorted by film and character, as some characters may have been portrayed by multiple actors. Actors Lewis Wilson and Robert Lowery first appeared as the character in the serial films, Batman (1943) and Batman and Robin (1949).
- Adam West. Adam West kicked it all off by appearing as the first live action Batman in the 1960s ABC series and subsequent 1966 feature film.
- Michael Keaton. The character was dormant in live action until director Tim Burton’s 1989 blockbuster adaptation, starring Michael Keaton who at the time was a controversial choice.
- Val Kilmer. After Keaton opted not to return for a third film, Val Kilmer took the mantle in “Batman Forever” (1995), directed by Joel Schumacher.
- George Clooney. Kilmer was one-and-done, so George Clooney was enlisted to star in 1997’s colorful and campy “Batman and Robin.”

You probably saw this one coming. Joel Schumacher's 1997 flop Batman & Robin remains infamous among comic book fans for its stunning butchery of the source material, which repulsed audiences to such an extent that the entire franchise was canned for almost a decade. In the centre of this storm was then-rising star George Clooney, who had been garne...
It's easy to forget that Top Gun: Maverickstar Val Kilmer donned the cape and cowl for 1995's Batman Forever, taking the reins from an outgoing Michael Keaton. That's partly because the film itself was a critical dud, best remembered for a behind-the-scenes feud which ended with Tommy Lee Jones telling Jim Carrey: "I cannot sanction your buffoonery...
Combining the grit of Christian Bale and the campness of Adam West and Val Kilmer, Keanu Reeves's showing as Batman in DC's League of Super-Petswas a fun and lighthearted take, poking fun at how serious the character has been in prior films by showing him immediately melt and bond with a dog with a troubled "puppyhood". Whilst it didn't break any n...
A spin-off from the television series of the same name, Adam West's distinct take on Batman still holds a fond place in the heart of viewers around the world. Why is he celebrated for what Clooney is lambasted for? Well, for starters, this series came out during the height of the Comics Code Authority, a regulatory body that greatly restricted what...
The dulcet tones of US comedy star Will Arnett proved a perfect fit for the supporting role of Batman in 2014's The Lego Movie, but few could have expected just how well he would fare in a solo spin-off. As it stands, The Lego Batman Movie is right behind The Dark Knight on the list of most acclaimed films starring Gotham City's resident hero, with...
It's a shame that 1993's Mask of the Phantasm went widely unnoticed by movie-goers when it was hastily dropped into cinemas, as Kevin Conroy is one Batman actor who deserves more mainstream recognition. Of course, avid fans will be well aware of the voice performer's storied history with the caped crusader, but he remains largely unknown to the vas...
Three decades on, Michael Keaton's first appearance in the Batsuit can still be considered a huge watershed moment in DC Comics history. Up to this point, West's campy take on the character was still best known to the general public, so Tim Burton's gothic reinvention seemed truly radical at the time – even if it was only bringing the screen portra...
When news broke that Ben Affleck would be taking over the role of Batman in Zack Snyder's DC Extended Universe, the internet almost imploded from the sheer amount of hate directed at the actor by toxic fans. That's why it will never stop being funny that those very same fans are now begging to have Affleck reinstated in the role, as Warner Bros loo...
After a few false starts, DC fans got their first solo Batman film in a decade earlier this year and it proved more than worth the wait. Though Robert Pattinson was subjected to similar disdain after his initial casting in the movie, a mid-pandemic teaser trailer quickly silenced haters and stoked up enthusiasm. The Batman is arguably the most fait...

- Lewis G Wilson | Batman (1943) Lewis Wilson was the first actor to play Batman and the first superhero in the DC comics. This obviously was a disadvantage for him because everyone was still new to the process of filmmaking itself.
- Robert Lowery | Batman & Robin (1949) Robert Lowery was undoubtedly a more experienced actor than Lewis and more physically apt for playing the role.
- Adam West | Batman TV Series (1966-1968) Adam West wasn’t the best actor, but he defined Batman’s gruff voice at the time. While you might not be a fan of it now, he sure did set a trend that is being followed even today.
- Michael Keaton | Tim Burton’s Batman Duology (1989-1992) Michael Keaton is a legendary actor whose acting chops continue to amaze us. He is considered one of the best actors to have portrayed Batman, and some people think his performance even surpassed Christian Bale’s.
