Besides Adam West and Kevin Conroy, Best Animated Batman VA?

[CMWaters]

So yes, most here will say that Conroy has become pretty much THE Batman voice most people think about, with Adam West being a second for a different style.

But there have been many people that have voiced Batman over his animated history since the 1960s to today. Here's a list of some of the more prominent ones:
-Olan Soule (Early series, Superfriends, Scooby-Doo Movies (the series))
-Rino Romano ("The Batman")
-Troy Baker (Various LEGO themed projects, not counting the LEGO Movies, as well as the Telltale Batman game)
-Will Arnell (The LEGO Movie 1 & 2 and LEGO Batman Movie)
-Roger Craig Smith (Arkham Origins and Batman Ninja)
-Bruce Greenwood (Under the Red Hood, Batman: Ninja and Death in the Family)
-Deidrich Bader (Brave and the Bold, Harley Quinn series)

There are plenty others so this is just a short list, but even out of those there are some variety. So...who do you pick as at least 3rd place to Conroy and West (or second to Conroy if you don't like West's style of Batman)?

Bruce Greenwood also played him on Young Justice and Gotham by Gaslight.

That said I'm tempted to give it to him entirely for Under the Red Hood.

Diedrich Bader (Batman: Brave and the Bold). He could do serious and comedy.

I accidentally deleted him when I was reformatting the OP. Will add him back, since he's also Batman in the Harley Quinn series.

Bruce Greenwood or Jensen Ackles for me. Both knocked it out of the park with the roles they did. Especially Under the Red Hood for Greenwood where he was able to play Batmans greatest failure with gravitas

Peter Weller did a fine job as Bruce Wayne/Batman in "The Dark Knight Returns."

Diedrich Bader’s Batman is so good.

Yeah, his voice did lend a certain amount of gravity to the role. Still, I lean towards Greenwood.

I’d fight anyone that thought Deidrich Bader was a bad Batman.

Like, I’d go ahead and claim Brave and the Bold wouldn’t have worked in the slightest if he wasn’t the lead.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Diedrich Bader. Didn't even need to think on it.

[Cyno]

Greenwood and Bader are excellent.

[Red Mage Riot]

Deidrich Bader, by a country mile. Dude gets the character just as well as Conroy, just on a different slant.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I feel like I'd have a higher opinion of Bader if I had a higher opinion of Brave and the Bold. Far from seen a comprehensive amount of it but feel like of what I have seen it zigzags between very good and very bad and feel like the latter's more common.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Bader. Brave and the Bold just gets better with age.

He was the perfect Silver Age Throwback Batman that they were going for.

Like, he’s both the best “serious voice” in a room full of jokers and egomaniacs and also the best “fish out of water” when he’s thrown into bizarre situations and I feel that’s a really hard thing to pull off in any superhero show, never mind a Batman show.

I'll throw in my vote for Bader as well. Mostly because it's interesting to see an actor play the same character but in two vastly different interpretations of the DC universe: The TV:Y7 Batman: Brave and The Bold and the TV:MA Harley Quinn.

“Justice is Unisex” is a line that lives in my head and comes up every so often.

Diedrich Bader. Easily. *Especially* after Harley Quinn. He was great in Brave and the Bold, but Harley Quinn added an amazing wrinkle to his portrayal of Batman, particularly in the Batman/Bruce dichotomy. My favorite spin on this is still Conroy’s “Batman is the real person, Bruce is the mask”, and others have done well with the “Bruce is the real personality and Batman is just a costume” angle. but Harley Quinn has

{Spoiler}them tackling the fact that deep down Bruce, Batman, whatever you want to call him, is a confused and emotionally stunted victim of childhood trauma, and Diedrich Bader plays it in such a way that *both* Batman and Bruce are masks of the real personality deep within.
