While only a few actors in Hollywood history have had the chance to say “I’m Batman” on screen (among them, Lewis G. Wilson, Robert Lowrey, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and the stars who have done voice work for the various animated Batman series’) plenty others in pop culture have proudly made the claim.

But when they brought Batman into the picture, well, then they were speaking his language. Quite literally, actually, as Ben (who donned a full Batman costume, pictured) and Tom did their best growly Batman imitations. Enjoy:

What’s your favorite pop culture “I’m Batman” proclamation? Does Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory do it best? How about Abed on Community? Or should it be left to the pros like Bale, Keaton, and, uh, Kilmer? Tell us in the Bat Cave, er, comments section!
