Keaton and Bale is the best the MB could say? Does superman really offer any better choices?

I think you would find a lot of people who argue for Val Kilmer was actually the best Batman b/c he was probably the most well rounded playing both Bruce and Bats. I'd venture to guess that this board would lean towards saying Keaton was the better "Batman" while Bale is the better "Bruce Wayne".

Superman? Sure, there have been so many to play him that there are real discussions to have on who handled what aspect of the character better. Usually people seem to focus on who plays Clark the best since Reeve played him so well. I wouldn't be shocked to see some prefer Dean Cain, Tom Welling or even George Reeves over CR though. Henry Cavill and especially Brandon Routh are kind of screwed with that though since the Clark persona wasn't given much to work with in their movies.
