My ranking would be:
1-West; omit from ranking if you don’t consider this version of Batman a valid candidate. If you do, I pity your lack of whimsy.
2-Keaton/Bale; a tie mainly due to Bale’s exaggerated gravelly voice, but otherwise he’d rank 2nd and Keaton 3rd.
3-Kilmer; eh, I’m mostly apathetic about him.
4-Cat; KITTY!
5-Clooney Tunes; this is what lies beneath the bottom of the barrel.
True. I don’t like the actor, but maybe Clooney could have nailed a Batman that’s more lighthearted and less broody, but not a parody of the old TV show; maybe something like Conroy’s version in TAS.
Ironically, what I liked about Conroy’s Batman is that he was more brooding. That and the gothic/art deco designs made it the best batman series to date.
3 Of these will never have a problem backing up in the driveway
Val Kilmer was the worst for me. Put that mask on there’s just a stupid duck mouth pout sticking out.

Clooney would have been a contender if he was a serious batman and not some acid trip version of a Adam West serial.
