Ranking the Batman films from 1966 through 1989 to contemporary

[DigificWriter]

If one were so inclined, one may consider Batman Begins to be a worthwhile prequel to Tim Burton's movies.

No.

3. Batman '89

Updated list, not including animated films:

Batman Begins
Batman v Superman
The Dark Knight
Batman
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman Returns
Batman Forever

The rest I wouldn't really try to lump into the same category, so it feels a little mean to compare them.

Batman '89 - 10
The Dark Knight - 10
Batman Begins - 7
The Dark Knight Rises - 7
Batman Returns - 6
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - 6
Batman Forever - 4
Batman & Robin - 1

Batman '66 - ? I don't know how to rate this one, as it's a unique piece. As a movie, probably not very well written/made, but who could deny its (accidental?) genius.

1. The Dark Knight (2008)
2. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

[Neil McCauley]

1. The Dark Knight 10/10
2. Batman Begins 9/10
3. The Dark Knight Rises 8.5/10
4. Batman vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice 8/10
5. Batman (1989) 7.5/10
6. Batman Returns 7.5/10
7. Batman Forever 5.5/10 (a 6 can be argued)
8. Batman and Robin 3/10

Overall, all solid films and haven't seen the 66 one. Forever is average but i might watch it again in the future.
