Batman: A Visual History

3. Lewis Wilson's Batman

Lewis Wilson was the first actor to wear the iconic Batman costume and, at just 23, he is still the youngest man to do so.

He starred in the 15-part 1943 Columbia serial "Batman", but his physique (he was quite plump) really wasn't right for the Dark Knight.
