10.10.11 | The only animated one I saw was Mask of the Phantasm and that was many years ago. Remember it being pretty good, though. |

10.10.11 | batman begins is highest because its the first use of ras and scarecrow on screen and its the first film to really go in depth on his origins and the mob side of things |

10.10.11 | batman 89 is really good still today. best environments in a bat film ever |

10.10.11 | 1,2,3 are all terrific films the rest sucks hard.
And yes Batman returns sucks too. |

10.10.11 | I agree with 1, but I'd switch 2 with 3. |

So true. I think it won an oscar for best art direction. |

10.10.11 | goddammit how do you think batman returns sucked? its a logical extension of 89
and batman 66 love bro don't hate |

10.10.11 | what the fuck is wrong with you
batman begins is worse than all but the schwarzenegger-thurman-silverstone form the 90's quadrilogy
1. The Dark Knight
2. Batman 89
3. Under the Red Hood
4. Batman Forever
5. Batman Returns
6. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
7. Batman Begins
8. Mask of the Phantasm
9. Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero
10. Batman 1966
11. Batman & Robin |

10.10.11 | i have the animated films in a separate category jose
begins>>Dark Knight
and besides, list is subject to change when tdkr drops |
theacademy
10.10.11 | Forever and Returns are about equal. I only put one above the other because so many people think there's a huge disparity in the other direction.
People forget how awesome fruity, carnival-like Gotham was in Returns. Hate for the movie is overshadowed by Val Kilmer and Dr. Chase Meridian.
Forever had a wicked soundtrack and two pretty great villains. Riddler's fucking fortress was bomb as well. |
theacademy
10.10.11 | i combined the animated films because Under the Red Hood was so fucking good that I think it deserves to be considered a real movie. |

10.10.11 | danny devito as penguin was pretty fantastic
some of the stuff in forever is really well done and in line with the silver age comics of the 60s |
foreverendeared
10.10.11 | "begins>>Dark Knight"
yup
You're on your own there Acad |
theacademy
10.10.11 | fucking exactly. people are two quick to dismiss it because they bundle it up with the fourth movie |
Urinetrouble
10.10.11 | the fourth movie isn't silver age camp so much as being really bad. and again, wheres the 66 love guys?
some days you just can't get rid of a bomb |

Loved it as a kid |
rockandmetaljunkie
10.10.11 | "goddammit how do you think batman returns sucked?"
I have my reasons:
First, i never liked the Penguin as a character and i could never take him seriously.
Secondly, Burton's directing approach isn't as darkly as the first film.
Batman talks too much.
Soundtrack is inferior. |

1. Penguin has had nothing but good portrayals in comics from the 80s and up. Too many people look at the old stuff for him
2. Nah, the film is a lot darker and more in line with some of Burton;s creepier work
3. slightly agreed
4. completely agreed |
rockandmetaljunkie
10.10.11 | "forever was cool as a kid but now I see it was a joke."
The only reason to waste your time on "forever" is to see how beautiful Nicole Kidman used to be. A really bad actor with astonishing beauty at the same time. And that's the reason she made a career. |
rockandmetaljunkie
10.10.11 | The costumes design on Schumacher's films are a complete failure. |
telebyrd
10.10.11 | glad to see someone else ranking Batman Returns up there, movie rules |
Satellite
10.10.11 | the first half of bb is amazing, but it devolves into a schlocky comic book movie with fear gas and other dumb shit.
dark knight + the animated series ftw. don't really care about the rest. forever ruled when i was like 9 and b&r is among the worst films ever made. |
Urinetrouble
10.10.11 | Scarecrow usually ends up a pussy in most of the comics by the end of his story anyways so spot on characterization there
I think Bane in TDKR has the potential to outdo Joker or at least do for Bane what Heath Ledger did for Joker |

10.10.11 | Batman 89 really isn't that good at all |

10.10.11 | Batman 89 was the best thing until Batman Begins, yes. |
captaincrunch11
10.10.11 | The Dark Knight is number one. Anyone who disagrees needs to watch the first ten minutes of the movie and will be convinced. |

10.10.11 | "Batman 89 was the best thing until Batman Begins, yes."
Returns is better than Burton's first go |
AsoTamaki
10.10.11 | Sorry, but Joker > Penguin. Returns was not bad, but I just preferred the plot and characters of the first one. I agree with the top 4 in this list. Just in a different order.
Indeed. The 90s animated series is better than most comic-based films. |
Deviant.
10.10.11 | "Sorry, but Joker > Penguin."
Biggest problem with all the early Batman films is that they killed the majority of the villains. Penguin I don't care too much about, but killing the Joker was a terrible idea as was making him out to be the murderer of Brucie's parents |

10.10.11 | burton did a lot for modern bat comics along with frank miller so you cant deny his influencw |

10.11.11 | hush being introduced is quite possibly the worst thing to happen to modern bat comics

10.11.11 | The "Hush" storyline was just amazing. Right up there with the best of Batman. |

10.11.11 | Grant Morrison introduced better villains with Professor Pyg.
and besides Riddler was the real mastermind in Hush |

10.11.11 | Grant Morrisons run on Batman and Robin>>>>>>>>>Hush |

Anything Grant Morrison is over the top and crazy. read his Animal Man run its trippy |

10.11.11 | user crymsonblaze confirmed dumbest sputniker ever |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | wut. i'm not denying that batman & robin is a horrible movie, i'm only saying it's more fun to watch than nolan's dull lifeless series |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | oh no :'( |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | i like nolan, i really do; i really like memento, inception, and the prestige. but i don't need my superhero movies dark and gritty |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | i know i'm in the minority but it's whatever
it's the same reason the spider-man reboot is going to suck. |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | we clearly have very different tastes in comic book movies |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | yeah i know, but my problem isn't with nolan, it's with the gritty tone. not to mention the fact that rebooting a series when the last installment was less than 5 years old is absolutely ridiculous.
i love the spider-man movies because they're fun and goofy. |
Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | all i know is at the end of the day i'd rather watch the spider-man trilogy before batman begins and the dark knight, and that's good enough for me. |

Crymsonblaze
10.11.11 | 3rd one rules as well |
AsoTamaki
10.11.11 | 3rd one was still better than the average superhero movie, but it doesn't maintain the same quality of the other two. |

10.11.11 | Hated spiderman 1 and 3. Liked 2 a lot though. Same thing with X-men. |
