Feedback please. Thanks!

For me,

1. Batman Returns
2. The Batman
3. The Dark Knight
4. Batman '89
5. Batman Begins
6. Batman v Superman
7. The Dark Knight Rises
8. Batman '66
9. Batman Forever
10.Suicide Squad

1, 2, and 3 are pretty much interchangeable (fully expect The Flash to join them, and knock Suicide Squad off the list).

3). Batman 1989
4). The Dark Knight Rises
5). Batman Forever

[Drizzle]

1. The Dark Knight
2. The Batman
3. Batman Begins
4. Batman Returns
5. The Dark Knight Rises
6. Batman '89
7. Batman Forever
8. Zack Snyder's Justice League
9. Batman v. Superman (Ultimate Cut)
10. Batman and Robin

I haven't watched Batman '66 in nearly 30 years so I can't really rank it fairly.

 

[Frodo]

These are my favorites ranked

1) The Dark Knight

2) Batman 1989

3) Batman Begins

4) Batman : Mask Of The Phantasm
Yeah, it's animated, but it's one of the best Batman film's ever made and one of my favorite Batman films.

5) Batman Forever

6)Batman 1966

7) The Batman

8) The Dark Knight Rises

9) Batman Returns

10) Batman and Robin

11) Batman v Superman Dawn Of Justice

12) Justice League

Mine:

1. Batman Begins
2. The Dark Knight
3. Batman ‘89
4. Batman ‘66
5. Mask of the Phantasm
6. The Dark Knight Rises
7. The Batman
8. Batman Forever
9. Justice League
10. Batman Returns
11. Batman and Robin
12. Suicide Squad
13. JL Snyder Cut
14. BvS

The top 5 are all masterpieces. 6 and 7 are very good but either have flaws or decisions about characters that I don’t particularly care for. 8-10 have some fun aspects and are watchable and even enjoyable, but are deeply flawed. 11 and 12 are caricatures but are not without some redeeming qualities. 13 and 14 have absolutely no respect for the characters presented.

1) The Batman

4) Batman Begins
5) The Dark Knight Rises

7) Batman Forever
8) Batman Returns
9) Batman 89’
10) Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice UE

At least I can say that despite my dislike of the Snyder movies’ take on the character, they still are ahead of the overtly racist 1940’s serials, which were dripping with anti-Asian messages and language, being a product of its political times. It’s really sickening to watch.

Honestly, there are too few such movies to really make a "Top 10" list. Yes, there are more than ten, but not *enough* more to ensure that the ten chosen are all actually good, as opposed to "Well, I need 1/2/3 more, so. . ."

 

[The Joker]

1. The Dark Knight
2. Batman Begins
3. Mask of the Phantasm
4. The Batman
5. The Dark Knight Rises
6. Batman Returns
7. Batman 1966 movie
8. Batman 1989
9. Batman Forever
10. Batman and Robin

I'm including MOTP because no DCEU Batman movie is going on any top 10 list of mine. I derive more entertainment from Schumacher's campy romps.

Do you think this would change if you included animated movies? Admittedly I included MotP in my list. I think The Lego Movie and Lego Batman Movie would also rank pretty high.

If this had been for animated movies as well my list would look very different.

Sometimes i do feel like putting The Batman above Burtons movies, but I feel like the Burton movies are more rewatchable.

 

[wheni64]

1. The Dark Knight (2008) - Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, starring Christian Bale as Batman, Heath Ledger as the Joker, and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent.

Always difficult to compile a list, especially as a few can move around on rewatches. But I think I'll go for:

1.) Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - It kind of has it all for a Batman movie.
2.) Batman Returns
3.) Batman 1989
4.) Batman Begins
5.) The Dark Knight
6.) The Batman
7.) Batman Forever
8.) Batman: The Movie
9.) The Dark Knight Rises
10.) Batman & Robin
11.) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
12.) Justice League

The only ones on this list that I have no real desire to rewatch would be BvS and Justice League. I guess The Lego Batman Movie didn't do much for me either. The rest I am always happy to experience all over again.

Feels like the Nolan movies have become underrated these days (It really bums me out that some rank Batman Forever over the Dark Knight Rises)
