All Batman Movies Ranked Worst to Best

All Batman Movies Ranked From Worst To Best 🦇

The Batman cinematic universe is vast and diverse, ranging from dark and intense masterpieces to sometimes less memorable works. Ranking all the Batman films is a challenge, but here's an attempt based on their quality, cultural impact, and fan love.

15. Batman & Robin (1997)

  • Directed by : Joel Schumacher
  • Why is it the worst? This movie is infamous for its ridiculous costumes (with nipples on the Bat-armor), disjointed storyline, and absurd lines. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze is more of a meme than a believable villain.
  • Fan Rating : 3/10
  • Takeaway : A kitsch show that failed to capture the essence of the Dark Knight.

14. Batman Forever (1995)

  • Directed by : Joel Schumacher
  • Why so low? Although Val Kilmer gives a decent performance as Batman, the overall tone is too cartoonish and far removed from the darkness that defines the character.
  • The strong points : Jim Carrey as the Riddler is entertaining.
  • Fan Rating : 5/10

13. Batman: The Movie (1966)

  • Directed by : Leslie H. Martinson
  • Why here? An adaptation of the campy Batman from the '60s TV series, this film is a guilty pleasure filled with absurd humor and improbable gadgets (like shark spray).
  • The strong points : Nostalgia and self-mockery.
  • Fan Rating : 6/10

12. Justice League (2017)

  • Directed by : Zack Snyder / Joss Whedon
  • Why so low? Although Ben Affleck gives an interesting performance as Batman, the film suffers from an inconsistent tone and sloppy CGI.
  • Strong points : Some interactions between the heroes.
  • Fan Rating : 6/10

11. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

  • Directed by : Zack Snyder
  • Why this rank? The film divides fans because of its overly dark tone and confusing storyline. However, Ben Affleck plays an aging and brutal Batman with effectiveness.
  • Memorable Moment : The epic fight between Batman and Superman.
  • Fan Rating : 6.5/10

10. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

  • Directed by : Christopher Nolan
  • Why here? This third installment of the Nolan trilogy is ambitious, but it doesn't reach the impact of its predecessors. Bane is impressive, but some of the story choices (like the ending) disappoint.
  • Highlights : Tom Hardy's performance and the epic conclusion.
  • Fan Rating : 7.5/10

9. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)

  • Directed by : Eric Radomski and Bruce Timm
  • Why here? This animated film, based on the cult animated series of the 90s, is an underrated gem. It explores the psychology of Batman with rare depth.
  • Highlights : The plot and timeless animation.
  • Fan Rating : 8/10

8. Batman Returns (1992)

  • Directed by : Tim Burton
  • Why here? This gothic sequel sees Michael Keaton take on Catwoman and the Penguin in a dark and unique setting. However, Danny DeVito's Penguin is divisive.
  • Highlights : Michelle Pfeiffer's performance as Catwoman.
  • Fan Rating : 8/10

7. Batman Begins (2005)

  • Directed by : Christopher Nolan
  • Why here? This film redefines Batman's origin in depth and relaunches the franchise after the failures of the 90s.
  • Highlights : Bruce Wayne's evolution into the Dark Knight and the intensity of Ra's al Ghul.
  • Fan Rating : 8.5/10

6. The Batman (2022)

  • Directed by : Matt Reeves
  • Why here? Robert Pattinson brings a fresh, introspective take on Batman, in a dark, immersive investigation.
  • The strong points : An atmosphere worthy of a dark thriller and a frightening Riddler.
  • Fan Rating : 8.5/10

5. Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

  • Directed by : Brandon Vietti
  • Why here? This animated film explores Batman's pain over the tragic return of Jason Todd.
  • Highlights : A gripping storyline and powerful emotional moments.
  • Fan Rating : 9/10

4. Batman (1989)

  • Directed by : Tim Burton
  • Why here? Michael Keaton redefines Batman and Jack Nicholson delivers an unforgettable performance as the Joker. This film remains a classic.
  • Highlights : The gothic aesthetic and Danny Elfman's soundtrack.
  • Fan Rating : 9/10

3. Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

  • Directed by : Zack Snyder
  • Why here? The extended, epic version corrects the mistakes of the 2017 version, offering a better take on Batman and a more consistent tone.
  • The strong points : A visual and narrative epic.
  • Fan Rating : 9/10

2. The Dark Knight (2008)

  • Directed by : Christopher Nolan
  • Why here? This masterpiece mixes action, suspense and a legendary performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker. It's more than a superhero movie: it's a major cinematic work.
  • The highlights : Joker, Joker and more Joker.
  • Fan Rating : 9.5/10

1. The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

  • Directed by : Chris McKay
  • Why Head? This hilarious and clever comedy celebrates Batman while affectionately poking fun at his tropes. A treat for fans of all ages.

  • Fan Rating : 9.7/10

Batman has had its ups and downs on the silver screen, but each film brings its own unique take on the Dark Knight. Whether you're a fan of Tim Burton's gothic aesthetic, Nolan's intensity, or The Batman 's chaos, there's always something to enjoy in the Batman cinematic universe.
