The best Batman ever is Kevin Conroy, but if live action, then is a very close call between Adam West or Michael Keaton.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.
Keatons Batman was a very believable detective.
All of Kevin Conroy's stuff was great, but I think TAS is my favorite.
Kevin Conroy was a pretty kick-ass live action Batman, too.
A seemingly unpopular opinion, but Christian Bale's Batman is my favourite live action version of the character.
Michael Keaton. I like the campy nature in general of the Tim Burton era.
However I will say, that I find later villain depictions to be excellent. Ledger's Joker, and Colin Farrel as Cobblepot are two examples that quickly come to mind.
Visually, Batfleck is the best live-action Batman. He really pulls off the imposing look since he's actually a pretty huge dude. As for the character itself, any of them who actually does some detective work instead of just punching people for answers.
Oddly, I hated Batfleck in the Joostice League but loved him in the Snyder Cut. He was so much more badass in the Snyder Cut.
It's just a shame all his movies are gash.
That weird one from 1966
It's not at all weird if that tbe Batman you grew up with. I think all these "dark" and "serious" Batmans are silly.
Nah I'm quoting the lego batman movie lol
The dark, haunted, mentally broken, detective Batman will always be my favorite version of the character.
So, somewhere between Affleck and Pattison is where my favorite Batman exists. Still haven't seen him on screen yet.
Kevin Conroy and Adam West are both awesome Batmans, but Lego Batman isn't bad either.
Batmen?
The one from The Batman Animation Series from the 90s
Nolan's
Lego
Batman brave and the bold
Legit answer. I like how BATB acknowledged the Silver Age and the weirdness of the DC universe without becoming a complete farce. It poked fun at all of it, yes, but it did afford it some dignity as well.
And the same can be said about its incarnation of Batman.
Yeah it felt like they did a great job of bringing the comics to tv, bringing in more obscure characters, and making it very enjoyable. I watched this with my son growing up
The bumbling fool he is in Harley Quinn. Fits the character so well, given his ridiculous persona in his older material.
I love every version of him.Every version seems to have something special.
Pete Holmes did it best
There was a nice series in the 2000s called "TheBatman" and it featured a young Bruce starting out as the Bat. He's kinder, more naive, makes plenty of mistakes, but you see traces of the Knight he is to become.
It has a kickass intro, and possibly one of the greatest villains ever concocted (albeit for a single episode), the ClockKing. How do you fight someone who has seen every move you will ever make?
A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.
Hank, in Venture Bros
Super friends Batman, when Casey Kasem was Robin.
Just kidding, but not. Same with Adam West Batman.
But honestly, any Batman when he's actually the World's Greatest Detective would be my favorite. Unfortunately that's very rare.
Batfleck, without question.
