#ALL BATMAN MOVIES RANKED UPDATE#

At least Schumacher himself has since admitted the movie was basically just a toy commercial.

To be fair, the (few) scenes between a dying Alfred and Bruce are actually quite touching and would probably be remembered fondly if they existed within a different Batman movie. Despite George Clooney being a convincing Bruce Wayne, he was unable to bring the duality that the role requires to be Batman. FreezeвЂ™s campy ice-related one-liners, a neon Gotham City, and even shoddy cost-saving edits were just a few of the issues that plagued this disaster, and yetвЂ¦ itвЂ™s oddly enjoyable to watch? ItвЂ™s not good by any metric, but weвЂ™d certainly be more likely to throw on Dawn of Justice over B&R on a rainy Saturday night. The Bat-skates, the Bat-credit card (expiration: вЂњForeverвЂќ), Mr. Batman & Robin Joel SchumacherвЂ™s sequel that nearly destroyed the Batman movie franchise canвЂ™t be taken seriously, we can all agree. But for watching Batman himself, itвЂ™s a purely joyless experience that leans into the biggest problems of its predecessor Man of Steel instead of course-correcting them. Even some of the heavy-handed Justice League cameos are a blast. ItвЂ™s a better movie, technically speaking, than Justice League, and it does lots of things right: Wonder WomanвЂ™s introduction is fun and there are some interesting questions raised about SupermanвЂ™s place in the world. Except where Joel Schumacher went with camp and bat-nipples, Zack Snyder went grimdark with a Batman out for blood. Like B&R, Dawn of Justice is a gross miscalculation of what most viewers wanted from the Dark Knight on the big screen (it received the same audience-awarded CinemaScore as the Catwoman and Green Lantern movies). Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice In many ways, Batman v Superman has a direct correlation to the movie that nearly killed big-screen Batman 20 years before it, Batman & Robin. Still, thereвЂ™s something to be said for getting to see Batman take down Parademons, arguably the most delightfully вЂњcomic bookyвЂќ thing an onscreen Batman has ever done. Unfortunately, the few moments that are memorable in Justice League donвЂ™t really involve the Caped Crusader. That being said, Ben AffleckвЂ™s Batman gets to have a little fun in this one, a stark contrast with his turn in Dawn of Justice (more on that in a minute), bantering with Alfred and even cracking one-liners in battle. Justice League In what shouldвЂ™ve been Warner Bros.вЂ™ answer to DisneyвЂ™s enormously popular Marvel Cinematic Universe, the first-ever big screen meet-up of DCвЂ™s premier superhero team mostly just fizzled out, featuring a slew of problems вЂ“ on and off-screen вЂ“ and just too little chemistry to really crackle.

But that said, read on for IGNвЂ™s ranking of the Batman movies! Note: This is an update to our original Ranking the Batman Movies story.ДЎ2. Keep in mind that this list includes only feature-film, theatrical releases in which Batman is a central figure, which means the old movie serials and direct-to-DVD animated releases donвЂ™t meet the criteria, nor do movies like Suicide Squad or The LEGO Movie.

The Dark KnightвЂ™s legacy onscreen will surely continue on long past the rest of us. HeвЂ™s had a wide variety of theatrically-released adventures going back all the way to 1966 вЂ“ some of them better than others вЂ“ and during that time Batman has proved to be a Hollywood constant that can bounce back from anything, be it the breaking of his back or rubber nipples. With a new cinematic Batman now in the works in Matt Reeves and Robert PattinsonвЂ™s The Batman, we thought there would be no better time than to reflect on the Dark KnightвЂ™s big-screen adventures. The sky is blue, water is wet, and everybody loves Batman.
