Although live-action Batman dominates most of the general conversation, the harder question is: Which animated version of the Caped Crusader is best?
Although there’s always the discussion surrounding which live-action Batman is the Batman-iest, these conversations often overlook all the animated iterations of the Caped Crusader that we’ve seen over the years. There’s been way more animated incarnations of the Dark Knight than there have been live-action performers and every version brings something new to the character.
7. Batman Beyond So this list is all about ranking the best animated Batmans, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be Bruce Wayne behind the cowl. Batman Beyond was a new type of Batman show set in 2039 where Bruce Wayne is as old and cranky as you’d expect. But with Gotham still having that pesky crime problem, someone else had to step up and become the new, futuristic version of the Bat. Enter Terry McGinnis, a young teenager who eventually would be revealed as Bruce’s son.
4. Harley Quinn Diedrich Bader doesn’t get enough credit for his Batman voice. His authoritative, soothing vocals always embeds the Bat with the proper amount of gravitas and the work he does on the Harley Quinn television show allows him to play the straight man in a gleefully adult-rated world. This version of Batman is more subdued than Bader’s other big Batman role which is coming up shortly, but you shouldn’t overlook this version of the Caped Crusader.
