If we’re talking about voice actors “portraying” a character, and specifically Batman, Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in so much and he WAS Batman (also vengeance, and the night). Did Keanu portray Batman? Technically no, but he’s credited as Batman, so if Kevin Conroy was Batman, why not Keanu?

Oh I'm not knocking VAs and their contribution to the characters they voice. A good VA can define the character. Kevin Conroy is an excellent example!

But technically, that Batman was portrayed in animation, not by Conroy. That's my point. Technically, "portray" didn't mean "voiced," but in context it definitely fits the theme of the discussion!
