Default Favorite Batman Movie? Least Favorite?

What is your favorite Batman movie and what is your least favorite, it could be from the old 1966 version to the dark knight, or any in between, explain why you like it,
also what is your least favorite, and explain why aswell.

My favorite would be Batman and Robin. The reason I liked it was because of the city, it was very dark, but in a comic kind of way, how it had strange statues, lights, and graffiti.
I also liked the gangs, such as those guys who wore glowing face paint that Robin beat the brown out of. Plus I liked the racing scene and the one where the villains and batman drive off a giant statues finger. thats plain badass.
Also cause Poison Ivy was pretty hot, haha and Mr.Freeze was pretty cool,
Joker is my favorite villain but not in my favorite movie.

Least would be the one with adam west and robin,
ok ok don't flame me, i know it's a classic, i just found the acting bad and it annoyed me how batman had a spray for everything.
I recall a certain scene where there is a shark in the water near them when batman is hanging off a ladder near a helicopter. His solution? he pulls out his Shark Repellent, and sprays himself until he is invincible to sharks, he then proceeds to punch the shark in the head, literally.
I just don't see how that is a reasonable explanation whatsoever and watch it because it's funny.

Your favorite film was batman and robin?
O.....K. We do have a cell at arkham ready for you! It's comfy and cosy!

Now, in a more serious tone (i know, "why so serious"), the Nolan reboot is EPIC WIN IMO. BB and TDK were cool movies, each in it's own way. BB was action-oriented, but i loved the way they gave a really serious emphasis on "why does a billionaire decides to put a cape on himself and look like a jerk".
TDK was psychology-oriented,action wasn't a major thing.
(and a note here, i really hope that B3 will combine action and psychology successfully)

I don't really need to say more than "BATMAN AND ROBIN WAS ONE BIG FAIL".

K well let me re-phrase.
I liked the style of batman and robin, plus i grew up watching it, so it's also nostalgic for me.
but i guess story wise it is The Dark Knight, especially since of Jokers Intentions, because he is the main villlain yet he does not even want to kill batman, nor does he care if he dies.

It's a tie between Batman Returns & Dark Knight for the best

Batman & Robin for the worst.....I hate George Clooney in anything other than Dusk Till Dawn so it was kind of a relief that he wasn't the worst thing about that movie

Thats a hard one...Batman (1989) or Batman Returns (1992)....love them both..but i will say ...Batman (1989)the movie that made me a batman fan
I just love Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne, and Jack Nicholson as The Joker..specialy the sceen where The joker is dancing around the art gallery painting alle the pictures...love it

Least Favorite? I would have to go with Batman Forever (1995) or Batman & Robin (1997)
I will say Batman & Robin (1997). Did't like any of them, but a least Batman Forever got Jim Carrey. But for some reason I dont like the style of those 2 movies made by Joel Schumacher, and if you ask me it was some bad acting as well. And the Batmobil in Batman and Robin just looked like to me, with all those flashing light and stuff.
I just like the Dark style of the Tim Burton movies more

I'm a Burton fan. As for Nolan, Batman Begins was better than TDK, imo.

Well my favorite was the 1989 movie, while it may have been nothing like the comics, it was more traditional, and Bruce Wayne was more mysterious and everything. The only thing I didn't like was how they made you know a lot of The Joker. Its like they completely had the roles reversed in Dark Knight where you know a lot of Bruce, but nothing of The Joker.
This music video is probably one of my favs.


Here's a fan made vid of Keaton vs Kilmer vs Clooney vs Bale


and of course my least fav is Batman & Robin

I'll rank them for me (and I'm not including the Adam West movie):
#1. The Dark Knight
#2. Batman Begins
#3. Batman (89)
#4. Batman Returns
#5. Batman Forever
And somehow the number six doesn't even fit this movie, so I'm going to put Batman & Robin at about #3,400,642.

Here's my list:

1: The Dark Knight - The suspense was killer

2: Batman Begins - The origin story was great

3: Batman 1989 - Overall a strong film

4: Batman Adam West - Because I've seen it around 500 times

5: Batman Returns - Penguin was quite cool

6: Batman Forever - The best part of the film was the villian's interaction with eachother

7: Batman and Robin - The worst film I've ever seen

Batman and Robin is the film that killed off The whole batman francise. It took them a decade to bring everything back. My favourite Batman films are well i have 3. I like Batman 1989 because it was my 1st Batman film and they did it good bringing the comic book joker to the film. I hated when joker kept taking his makeup off. 2nd is Batman Begins because it was a dark and realistic Batman film and it went its own way but at the same time followed the orgins of Batman. 3rd is The Dark Knight i loved the realisum to it, Its a new Joker in the film and i loved the storyline to it

My favourite was TDK too. Because of Heath playing the Joker. I love his realism too. There was nobody as Heath.
