Ok so just finished The Dark Knight Rises and Batman Returns, so here's a list of my brief thoughts on all the Batman movies I've watched so far.

Batman (1966) - 5/10

Some funny moments, but it feels about twice as long as it actually is. Even still, Shark Repellent Bat Spray is worth watching the film for.

Batman (1989) - 7/10

Surprisingly good, if somewhat weird. Feels very comic book. The line deliveries are kinda off at times imo, and it definitely feels like a product of it's time more than any other film aside from 1966.

Batman Returns (1992) - 6.5/10

So take the 1989 movie, and make it about 3 times weirder. THAT'S Batman Returns. Catwoman is great, even if her story is a bit weak. My main complaint is that the first 2/3rds of the film aren't all that interesting.

Batman Forever (1995) - 7.2/10

This one was just a delight tbh, did not take itself seriously in the slightest. Two-Face and Riddler have this almost homoerotic chemistry whenever they're onscreen together too which just adds to the fun. Also, Dick Greyson was great too.

Batman & Robin (1997) - 5.8/10

Ok so going into this one i knew of it's reputation. It's just so much. It's utterly insane. I mean first of all it's 3 incredibly famous Batman villians in one film and they're all incredibly one note except Mr Freeze (tbh he's not too bad), not to mention just throwing Batgirl in there for pretty much no reason. The costumes are utterly ridiculous (though tbf Poison Ivy was absolutely serving a lot of the time) and the vehicles even more so. Also yeah, Bat Credit Card.

Batman Begins (2005) - 8/10

Loved it, it's very modern comic coded yet doesn't shy away from some of the more ridiculous aspects. Also it's still kinda funny. Scarecrow is a great intro villian for early Batman and I will stand by that until the end of time.

The Dark Knight (2008) - 8.9/10

Best one so far. It's super moody in the most fun way possible, the Joker is actually funny most of the time, and it still holds up 18 years later. My only gripe is that Two-Face is very underutilised.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - 7.5/10

Definitely the weakest of the trilogy imo, but still a good watch. Bane is kinda funny at points and Catwoman is great despite never going by that name. Same goes for Robin, who they decided should have his real name instead of Dick Grayson or Jason Todd.

The Batman (2022) - yet to watch

Tim Burton's Batman has turned 37, and we are never too old or young to neglect Michael Gough's Alfred in these movies. There are some amazing performances in these films, but Gough really grounded things beautifully whenever he was onscreen!
