[POLL] Win Tickets To See The Dark Knight Rises: What's Your Favorite Batman Movie?

UPDATE: 12 (NOON) Friday, July 20, 2012. The contest is now closed, but you can continue to vote in the poll on actors who played the role of Batman. Thanks to everyone who particpated in the contest and the poll.

Batman — the caped crusader — hits the big screen this week again with Christian Bale playing the iconic role in The Dark Knight Rises.

This is Bale's third time playing Batman after his starring role in Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). With each new movie in the series, the pop culture debate over the best Batman movie — and who was best at playing the masked crime fighter from the comics — is renewed.

Patch wants to know which in the Batman series of movies, dating back to the first one with Adam West (from the TV series that ran from 1966 to 1968) in 1966, do you think was the best of the bunch. Who do you think was the best Batman.
