There are very few cinematic roles quite as iconic as Batman. In fact, James Bond may be the only comparable example. These roles continue to stand the test of time, as one actor hands the baton to another - each bringing their own unique interpretation.
There have been seven onscreenBatmans: Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson. Of course, many more have voiced the character.
