Who was the BEST Batman?

Throughout the years many an actor has played the caped crusader, and each brought something special to the role. Whether it was Michael Keaton's intelligence and detective skills, Adam West's charisma and humor, Ben Affleck's rage and intensity, Christian Bale's technological savvy, or George Clooney's Bat-nipples, each was memorable in their own way. Below is my rating of the Dark Knights, from worst to best. Note: There have been other actors to play Batman (such as in the early serials), but I am only including live-action feature films.

#Number 6: George Clooney (Come on, we all saw that coming) http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111127013/3312583-clooney+agility.gif Appearances: 1997's "Batman & Robin" Pros: Was a charismatic Bruce Wayne, and sold the playboy aspect of Bruce. Cons: Not intimating, poor portrayal of emotion, and the Bat-nipples.

#Number 5: Val Kilmer http://i.imgur.com/V0WE4n0.gif?Noredirect Appearances: 1995's "Batman Forever" Pros: Attempted Emotional turmoil was on the right track. attempted to explain why a man would dress like a bat and punch criminals Cons: Poorly acted, emotional turmoil was never believable, and more fucking bat-nipples.

#Number 4: Michael Keaton http://media.giphy.com/media/ige3bwNyIUlYA/giphy.gif Appearances: 1989's "Batman", 1992's "Batman Returns" Pros: Arguably the most intelligent Batman to date, and played a very believable Bruce Wayne. Balanced the two identifies nicely. Cons: Character was not developed fully, and lacked emotional conflict and intensity of Batman. Kills people.

#Number 3: Adam West https://45.media.tumblr.com/9669a6bbae17299eb48506690c72d42a/tumblr_nr3t8qtuzC1rebyr4o1_250.gif Appearances: 1966's "Batman: The Movie" Pros: The only live action Batman to succeed in humor. Introduced Batman to non-comic reader's, and is responsible for the creation of countless Batfans. Cons: Lack of any backstory (although being a comedy, this is more forgivable)

#Number 2: Ben Affleck https://greentwritesdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/abvmxbfj3nr237gn5cb41.gif?w=350&h=200&crop=1 Appearances: 2016's "Batman v Superman", 2016's "Suicide Squad" Pros: Brought the rage and raw power Batman has had for years to the big screen. Physically and mentally intimidating. The best portray of Bruce Wayne to date. Really sells the emotional turmoil of Batman. Cons: The fact that Batfleck kills people is the only thing keeping him out of the number 1 slot.

#Number 1: Christian Bale http://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/10/105634/3662820-cut+sword.gif Appearances: 2005's "Batman Begins", 2008's "The Dark Knight", 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises" Pros: Great martial artist, technologically savvy, believable and very well acted moral struggles. A very keen understanding of Batman's moral lines and ethical system. Cons: Voice becomes slightly grating after 3 films of it
