The following is a list of cast members who voiced or portrayed characters appearing in the Batman films. The list is sorted by film and character, as some characters may have been portrayed by multiple actors.
Actors Lewis Wilson and Robert Lowery first appeared as the character in the serial films, Batman (1943) and Batman and Robin (1949). While Adam West reprised his role as Batman from the 1960s television series in Batman: The Movie (1966).
In the Burton / Schumacher films, this iteration of the character is first portrayed by Michael Keaton in Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992) and later would reprise the role in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film, The Flash. Actor Val Kilmer would later replace Keaton in the role in Batman Forever (1995) and would also be replaced by George Clooney in Batman & Robin (1997). The series was later cancelled due to the lukewarm reception to Batman & Robin.
Actor, Kevin Conroy voiced the character in multiple theatrical and Direct-to-DVD films as multiple iterations of the character. This started with reprising his role from the DC Animated Universe in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993), Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998), Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000), Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003) and Batman and Harley Quinn (2017). Conroy would later voice the character in multiple films in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies.
In Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, this iteration of the character is portrayed by Christian Bale in Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). In 2016, a new iteration of the character was introduced in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), portrayed by Ben Affleck. In the films Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad (both 2016), Justice League (2017) as well as filming additional scenes in the film's director's cut (2021) and in The Flash (2022).
Will Arnett voices the character in The Lego Movie franchise as well as a spin-off The Lego Batman Movie (2017). In Joker (2019), Dante Pereira-Olson portrays a younger version of Bruce Wayne in a minor role. Robert Pattinson portrays a younger iteration of the character in Matt Reeves' film The Batman (2022), which is intended to launch a Batman shared universe, with two sequels planned and two spin-off television series in development for Max.

Burton and Schumacher series (1989–1997)
The Burton and Schumacher series was a series of American superhero films with the first two installments directed by Tim Burton and the following two installments directed by Joel Schumacher. The two Burton-films left a legacy and influenced Hollywood's modern marketing and development techniques of the superhero film genre.[1] While Schumacher's Batman & Robin (1997) is regarded as one of the worst rated superhero films of all time.[2] Many Batman storylines serve as inspiration such as Batman: The Killing Joke, the tone of The Dark Knight Returns, The Man Behind the Red Hood! and Catwoman: Her Sister's Keeper. In 2023, it retroactively confirmed that the Burton-directed and Schumacher-directed films are set in two different continuities.[3]
The Dark Knight trilogy (2005–2012)
The Dark Knight is a trilogy of American superhero films all directed by Christopher Nolan. The first reboot of the Batman film series, it is credited for revitalizing the Batman character in popular culture, shifting its tone towards a darker and more serious/realistic tone and style. Many Batman storylines serve as inspiration such as Batman: Year One, The Killing Joke, The Long Halloween, Knightfall, The Dark Knight Returns and No Man's Land. The trilogy has been ranked among the greatest ever made.
DC Extended Universe (2016–2023)
The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is an American media franchise and shared universe centered on a series of superhero films starting in 2013 with Man of Steel and ending in 2023 with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It was based on characters that appear in American comic books published by DC Comics. The DCEU introduced multiple pre-established supporting and antagonistic characters from the Batman mythos. The inspiration for the DCEU version of Batman is based on The Dark Knight Returns and A Death in the Family. The reception to the franchise and depiction of its characters/storylines has generally been mixed among critics and fans.
The Batman franchise (2022–present)
The Batman franchise is an American media franchise and shared universe created by filmmaker Matt Reeves and producer Dylan Clark. The franchise is centered on a series of superhero and crime films and television series focusing primarily on the Batman and the supporting characters from the Batman mythos. It started in 2022 as the third reboot of the Batman film series, with a Batman trilogy and a number of films and series spin-offs centered on members of Batman's rogues gallery in development. The storylines, Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween, and Ego served as inspiration.
DC Universe (–2025)
The DC Universe (DCU) is an upcoming American media franchise and shared universe centered on a series of superhero films and television series based on characters that appear in American comic books published by DC Comics. It serves as the successor and soft reboot of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The story of the DCU is divided into chapters, starting with "Gods and Monsters" which will begin in 2024 with the animated series Creature Commandos. DC Studios co-Chairmen and co-CEOs, James Gunn and Peter Safran considered the chapter's first film, Superman (2025), to be the true beginning of the DCU.
Joker franchise (2019–present)
The Joker franchise are a series of American thriller character study films directed by Todd Phillips focused on the origins and stories of the DC Comics supervillain, the Joker and later Harley Quinn. The series takes inspiration from gritty psychological films such as Taxi Driver (1976) and The King of Comedy (1982), both directed by Martin Scorsese as well as loosely adapting plot elements from the storylines Batman: The Killing Joke and The Batman Adventures: Mad Love, although the filmmakers otherwise did not look to specific comics for inspiration.
