Bruce Wayne aka Batman, is an imposing character in the world of DC Comics, who supposedly stands at a height of 6 ft 2 in (188 cm) and typically maintains a weight of 210-220 lbs (95-100 kg), according to the official DC Comics sources.
However, in live-action adaptations, Batman's height has varied, ranging from 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) to 6 ft 4 in (193 cm), contingent on the specific actor portraying the character.
Ben Affleck, who portrayed Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) films, matches Batman's official comic height at 6 ft 2 in (188 cm). Notably, this is the same as the iconic Batman, Adam West, from the 1966 movie, as well as Kevin Conroy, who portrayed the character in the animated series that ran between 1992 and 1998.
Having said that, Michael Keaton, who has a height of 5 ft 9 in (175 cm), from 1989's 'Batman' movie was the shortest actor to portray the character, followed by George Clooney from 'Batman & Robin' as he has a height of 5 ft 11 in (180 cm).
Val Kilmer from 'Batman Forever' and Christian Bale from 'The Dark Knight' trilogy both stand at 6 ft (182 cm), while Robert Pattinson, who brought the character to life in 2022's 'The Batman', stands tall at 6 ft 1 in (185 cm).
The range of heights among these actors reflects the different interpretations and approaches to the character of Batman in various cinematic adaptations.
Batman or Superman: Who is taller?
According to DK's DC Comics Encyclopedia, Batman's official height is recorded at 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), while Superman stands at 6 ft 3 in (190 cm), making the latter taller by an inch.
Superman, being the taller of the two, often stands as a beacon of justice and hope for the world, prominently displaying his heroic presence. In contrast, Batman operates from the shadows, emphasizing secrecy and stealth in his fight against crime.

Superman hails from the planet Krypton and possesses superhuman abilities, including incredible strength, speed, invulnerability, and flight.

Michelle Pfeiffer, who has a height of 5 ft 7½ in (171 cm), portrayed live-action Catwoman in 1992's 'Batman Returns', becoming an icon in pop culture, partly due to the similarity in height and appearance to that of the character.
In the universe, Catwoman is often depicted as a cat burglar, antihero, and, at times, Batman's love interest. She is known for her agility, acrobatics, and cat-like characteristics.
The character is also skilled in various forms of combat, becoming a formidable adversary and, at times, an ally to Batman.
No wonder their relationship is marked by a complex blend of attraction, tension, and shared values. While they often find themselves on opposite sides of the law, their mutual respect and shared sense of justice sometimes lead to romantic entanglements.
