12 Famous Actors Who Played Batman (That Everyone Forgot About)

For more than 80 years the Caped Crusader has been reimagined across comics, TV screens, and movie theaters, with actors from Adam West’s campy take to Michael Keaton’s Gothic edge and Robert Pattinson’s broken toughness defining different eras. That ubiquity means many well‑known performers have worn the cape and quietly slipped from memory.

Jensen Ackles first voiced Bruce Wayne in Batman: The Long Halloween (both parts) and reprised the role in Legion of Super‑Heroes and Justice League: Warworld for the DC Animated Movie Universe’s newer phase; his take reads as noir, a weary, Year One‑influenced Batman who sounds battle‑worn yet sharp.

Kevin McKidd voiced Thomas Wayne’s Batman in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, giving the alternate‑reality figure a brutal, uncompromising edge. Ron Perlman supplied an authoritative, militaristic Bruce for the 2006 game Justice League Heroes, while Jeremy Sisto brought a pragmatic, slightly aloof voice to Justice League: The New Frontier’s 1950s‑steeped story.
