I know it's become popular to knock him for his infamous Batman 'growl' but Christian Bale is my favourite.
I grew up with the Keaton films and the animated series as a kid and became fond of those portrayals. But it wasn't until Bale/Nolan's interpretation of the character where I went 'this is my definitive Batman'. In terms of the cinematic portrayals, Bale's portrayal was the first where I believed that this guy (Bruce Wayne) would go to great lengths to be Batman. Plus it also helped from Bale's physicality that you believed he could take down criminals.
So who played your favourite Batman

Are there any more to choose from?
Kevin Conroy if you count his animated Batman. But you haven't said who's your favourite
Bale
Keaton second.
There's another Batman who, understandably, no one has even contemplated yet. Actor Lewis Wilson who played Batman/Bruce Wayne in the mostly forgotten 1943 serial (15 of them). I haven't even watched it myself but it's on YouTube and I think I'll have a go at it tonight.

Conroy easily. He made me fall in love with the character.
Robert Lowery? Cute ears.
3 seasons of the animated series before they changed the style were the best on screen version of the character so far.
Bale - Batman
Now I think it was an excellent choice as imo he has the perfect eyes and jaw for the mask.
My personal fave was Christian Bale. As for people making fun of the voice I thought it was a great creative decision from Bale. He said he needed to commit to the role of being this dark monster-like creature, to take Batman as seriously as he took himself otherwise he's just a guy running around in a bat suit.
