Batman’s Multiple Personality Disorder

Between the films, video games, comics, television shows, and any other application I may be forgetting, Batman is an extremely confusing individual. Well, i shouldn’t really say “Batman”, because no matter how you look at him he’s still a guy in black tights with rippling abs/body armor. The person who is really confused here is Bruce Wayne. That guy has more actors and voice actors playing him than necessary. I want to know why we keep changing the actor who plays Brice Wayne.
See, when I was young, George Clooney played Batman and Pierce Brosnan played 007. And it stayed that way until the Batman series concluded and then Pierce Brosnan got too old for his role. Now, you’ve got Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (video games) and The Dark Knight series. I’m not sure who voices Bruce Wayne in the video games but it sure isn’t Christian Bale (actor who plays Batman in the Dark Knight films).
I feel like they should really chose one personality and stick to it. I can’t imagine the generation of children who adore Batman but are being utterly confused why he has so many faces and voices. Though, I’m sure it doesn’t help that Christian Bale makes weird grunting noises while speaking as Batman… I don’t think anyone understood that character choice.
Heath Ledger’s Joker was perfect, that’s for sure. He did a great job making his character have the impression of multiple personality disorder; mostly because the Joker has that.
I’m not going to stop following DC comics most adored character just because every other interpretation of the character doesn’t settle right with me; but I do feel like I’m not the only person who feels that way. It sure won’t stop me from going to the theaters to see the new “The Dark Knight Rises” in summer 2012.
