And also.. commissioner Gordon...just a straight fucking beast!!!!

Kevin conroy did the best voice acting for Batman ever. His vocals are better than Bale’s by far. And Bale was overall great, but his bat voice was atrocious. Keaton’s was good. But Conroy is the GOAT

I would addend this by saying that the Arkham games for PS/ PC voiced by kevin conroy are the best iterations of batman in modern day (or all day, any day etc).

by far is a stretch

​@martinlatour9311 No it's not. It is the definitive Batman portrayal, and arguably the greatest cartoon of all time. At worst it's top 3.

"now in the scenario... i would of course be vengence"

Agreed! Easily one of the best comic book films and movies period

soundtracks alone win over other Batman movies.

It easily is NOT.

@@gimmeaford9454 Hahah, right? Nolan's Batman films all have actively incomprehensible action geography which just happen to sometimes include stunning establishing IMAX shots. Blatantly poor fundamental filmmaking craft held together and saved by the seeming orientation of Hans Zimmer's confidently bombastic assurance to barrel straight through the discombobulating inconsistencies and convolutions. Facts over feelings now.

fax,keep it one huned

The Red Hood and Year One are great as well.

I love that movie but I do actually like Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero more. That and The Dark Knight Returns Deluxe Edition are my favourite Batman movies, period. As for theatrical release, it's Batman Begins.

Facts!! The 90's gave such great animated comicbook cinema. Especially DC, which always puts out great animated movies.

@@crobeastness Just watched the Dark Knight Returns last night. I loved it!

also Batman and Mr. Freeze: Subzero

Yet he doesn't bother mentioning the animated adaptations of Frank Miller's work.

More like his writers did a bit of research and he's just reading what they wrote. I imagine Batman would be just too scary for the poor lil' guy.

I don't think you can compare the two. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker in the Batman world was phenomenal. The best ever! Now, Joaquin's performance as a man beaten down and his slow spiral into insanity was also phenomenal. But they were two very different portrayals of The Joker.

Heath ledgers joker SHITS on phoenix’s. Joker 2019 is literally a carbon copy of Taxi Driver.

Edward Scissorhands is an awesome winter snowstorm soundtrack.

@@danielolortegui1139 I know a lot of people who are pretty far left, but we still geek out when we get to talk movies together.

The Lego Batman Movie should have been #1, even with the parody aspect it's still the most accurate movie depiction of the Batman imo. I mean, if you really want the real Batman, play the Arkham games or read the comics.

The one thing I didn't understand is how he said in Marvel movie's they don't look at the consequences of actions. Even though that was the entire plot of Captain America Civil War.

@@yourbestfriend5455 yeah that's true but I think he was mainly saying that in general most of the DC films, especially Nolan's Batmans and the Snyder films are a lot darker and "realistic," whereas marvel films have a lot more jokes and don't really take themselves super seriously.

Best batman ever

I'd argue that it took more from the comics than any film, but in terms of which film it is closest to, you are correct.

Yep and that's why I think burtons are better then his ranking.

And many of the voice actors were people who auditioned to play characters in the live action like John Glover (originally was offered to play Joker for 1989 Batman) and Mark Hamill (was offered Riddler in Batman Forever).

i hate the burton movies too, but love the animated series. i would say the production and animators took more inspiration from the comics than the 1989 film as they were mostly all fans of the character since their youth.

With Batgirl making Batman and Robin both look stupid. I'm glad the BATGIRL film was cancelled. Or written off if you prefer.

He was way too normal as Bruce Wayne. I mean, can you even imagine that guy deciding to become Batman? Keaton Batman looks goofy when he can’t move his head. He also kills people and wants to kill the Joker because of revenge. Christian Bale was easily better although Kevin Conroy will always be the best.

Exactly, Michael Keaton was the start of it all, brining back the gravitas to the character in the last 3 decades

Ur talking about a cartoon tailored for Kids, Dude.

he said he liked it

@@whynot1548 You must be a fool. BTAS is constantly on the top when it comes to most people's lists. Either you must be another one of those "Animation is for kids" idiots or don't understand what impact BTAS had on not only TV but the Batman mythos itself. BTAS changed Batman, it reinvented terribly written characters like Mr. Freeze, and is the reason why Batman fucking SPEAKS the way that he does. The "Batman Voice" was a fucking product of BTAS, Dude. Fucking millennials these days.

It’s the best. I think the dark knight trilogy had deeper themes and by being live action has certain benefits. Though animated series is the most overall faithful adaptation of the character.

​@@grantm6133 I think people misconstrued "being live action" and "being serious". This has been proven the case many times actually. Anime for example has tons of series that completely break that stereotype. Not an Anime fan? BTAS: Robin's Reckoning Part I, when Bruce Wayne approaches a young Dick Grayson who has lost his parents, and has to console him. What deeper themes are people actually talking about? What about "It's Never Too Late"? Two mob bosses at war with one another, one has to come to grips with the damage he's done not only to his city but his own family, Batman finds a way to bring him back from the edge. For fucks sake, the drugs he peddled got his own son addicted, and is shown to be in rehab. What's more "DEEP" than that? Not DEEP enough for you? How about "Appointment in Crime Alley"? It's revealed that Batman visits Crime Alley every year on the anniversary of his parent's death. Meanwhile a business man plans to destroy crime alley to pave over it with new Condos. In one scene a woman's house in broken into as men try to get her out of the house, he crying daughter runs out into the street as Batman arrives. Do I honestly HAVE to keep going? Both mediums have their merits but one isn't topic related nor tonal. With the right people, an animated film can be as dark, brooding, gritty, or as emotional as a Live Action film can be. It's all in the eyes of the beholder, in Japan, Anime is taken incredibly seriously and regularly takes the spotlight over live action films, there is no bias there. So what's the issue? It's called "disassociation", some people can't associate animated entertainment with live action entertainment. That's why some say "Live Action is always better", it's because in their minds, they don't associate something that is animated with something that is real, they can't take it seriously, because they can't comprehend what is happening. "This isn't real enough, ergo the acting isn't real, so I can't empathize."

This scene is literally linked with every detail seen in the movie during 2 hours. It links every aspects of the movie into just one moment. It is very poetic I think. It shows that Batman is still hurt by his parents' deaths and he doesn't want Clark Kent to become like him. He remembers why he first wanted to become a superhero when he heard the word "save". He could have simply said "save my mom", but the fact that he says "Martha" almost makes Batman a member of his family. I'm not done, I could write a whole book about how much this scene makes sense. I find it crazy that still some people rank this as the "stupid aspect" of the film.

@@Batneen Exactly, the whole movie, Bruce has been trying to kill this "alien". When he says "save martha" it makes Clark human. He is no longer the alien everyone is trying to kill.

@@BatneenWell…it is stupid. The problem is that the vernacular doesn’t make sense. He wouldn’t say Martha because Batman doesn’t know his mom’s name or who he is talking about. If Superman was trying to recruit Batman all along, the entire fight scene makes no sense. Superman shouldn’t be punching or throwing Batman, he should pin him down and explain the situation. It was just a dumb shoehorned in way to end the fight with them being friends.

It just needed better execution. The set up was there, and it was looking to be really good.

Except for the ridiculous back and forth script - HK -USA - HK - USA... and also every scene with cops is them being corrupt and kidnaping / murdering the people they're employed to protect - it's a parody of itself. Also, let's be honest Heath Ledger did a decent job as Joker, but he only won the Oscar because he died.

Yeah the animated series is really good and I’m not even really a comic book movie fan I remember I found an old VHS tape at a thrift store of an animated Batman movie and I was surprised how gritty it was I lost it and I don’t remember the name I always try to look for it online though but haven’t had any luck.

You lost me at Bale copying Kwvin Conroy. As great of an actor as Bale is, he wasn't channeling the brilliance of Conroy's Batman at all.

He might have been trying to copy Conroy's voice, but he clearly was not much of an impressionist.

“Patterson” 💀

Jesus Christ is Lord. It is all True. Please take your salvation seriously. Read the Bible and do what it says. It is more important than you know,

Marvel is soft and you know it.

So all that destruction resolved in one movie? What about the other consequences? Don't get it wrong, Marvel is great but DC has nailed its movies in cinematic aspect. DC has taken everything seriously and has great humanity quotes rooted into it's scripts.

There’s also a big difference between the destruction in Man of Steel and Avengers. Superman was directly responsible for throwing Zod through buildings for basically no reason, and basically disregarding civilian casualties to a ridiculous degree. The Avengers movies specifically show them trying to save civilians.

@@dranomohak17 It wasn’t lol the Avengers broke up that’s why they’re all separated at the beginning of Infinity War which is a phenomenal movie.

Yeah no other Batman theme compares to Elfman's iconic theme. No other theme fits Batman so perfectly and it will never ever be matched.

its a good score, but the hans zimmer one is equally amazing. so is the michael gianchino score.

Junkie XL and Shirley Walker are looking at you guys and laughing.

​@@crobeastness Never said there was anything wrong with them. The Elfman score is just better, in my opinion. The music is certainly elevated by the quality of the rest of the representation as well. If Zimmer or Giacchino scored the animated series, I'd probably like his the best. Not that Elfman scored the series, but the music was based on his motifs and themes, and fits Batman so dang well. Also, Kevin Conroy is Batman. Mark Hamill is the Joker. I can't see anyone replacing them in my mind. When I read comics, I hear their voices - not West or Bale or Affleck or Keaton, nor Nicholson or Ledger or Phoenix or Leto. Hopefully I'm wrong, and new definitive versions of the characters will exist, but I don't think they will.

@@hinney827 yes, I agree. Kevin Conroy is batman and mark hamill is joker. Except for old husky batman which is Peter Weller for me. Michael Emerson is also a really good joker in TDK returns. I'm not a fan of joker that much but hamill, Emerson and phoenix I really love. Ledger is cool too but overrated. People saying it's the best acting performance of all time need to cool off a bit.

he has always killed, when he first started in comics he had the "Bat-Gun"

Glad you added that ending. It was a great concept, with truly horrible execution in a horrible film.

Yes agree man with his arc, he became more hopeful and the Batman we know in Zack Snyders Justice league.

My very first comic book experience ever was the Death of Superman arc with Doomsday, so my biggest issue was how they butchered that whole story. No justice!

31, it is easily the best. Batman Beyond was a good sequel series.

I think it's style whereas Nolan's is current

A lot of people complain about the Nolan films taking place in Chicago, saying that Gotham should be a stylised, nightmarish city. Batman Begins' slums had this aesthetic. However, I think it's a great choice because the sheer, natural, awe-inspiring scale achieved when viewing the sprawling skyscrapers in real-life Chicago is not a sensation that can be achieved via sets, and the realism just suits the movies' tone perfectly, I think.

@@tornadochaser2457 When sets are at its best, they're way more effective in transporting me into the setting, but when they're at their worst, it can take me out of it. Tim Burton's Batman is a combination of this. The best scene for me is the opening scene, where we see this decripit, dirty city bustling with people with gothic architecture.

@@budmb2 Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

I think The Batman had the perfect balance of grounded realism and stylized gothic Gotham. Nolans Gotham was too bland and Burton seemed a little too over the top I guess for some though I still love anything Burton.

Came out the same year as bvs too. Doesn't Ben have a review of that film too?

@@TheDCbiz exactly

Civil War is criminals committing more crimes and hurting their friends. The only dude who can stop it all and talk everyone down being so emotionally tortured throughout the film that he gives up on them. Had Cap just subdued Bucky in the apartment and Bucky been questioned by someone like Black Widow, as a favor to Cap? Yeah. No more Civil War. Widow is technically a government agent, not an Avenger, so there's little to no need for suspicion from the Accords members. She would have gotten the job done with enough time. That Sokovian dude would not have known Bucky was apprehended, because there'd be no stupid chase through the streets. There would be no need for an alternative interrogator. And Rhody would still have his legs. The movie is overcomplicated garbage. *EDIT* With a plot that proves the point of the Accords. These idiots are loose cannons.

@@JoseRodriguez-eu5ez wait what? The UN specifically didn't all in the avengers who signed the accords like black widow and sent regular non superpowers troops. They had orders to shoot on sight not to talk to bucky. So he either gets shot and cap just stays out of it or cap intervened and ended up in a chase. Widow is former shield and now an avenger who works for the UN by the time civil war takes place. According to the rules set up in civil war it is consistent with the setting and plot.

@CYB3R2K30 Actually no. Because of the consequences of civil war with the avengers broken apart, they weren't unified in fighting thanos and loss

Right. Just like the Rothschilds and.... ahhh shut up, me.

@@MrMetalhorse He didn't defend it. He said people are making a big deal out of it. The movie was quite good regardless of the Martha scene.

Wouldn't say he's underrated, he has a massive fanbase. I think thats part in parcel because of the Snyder fans though.

As a fan of The Dark Knight Returns graphic novels I really enjoyed Ben Afflecks Batman, he really looked the part and he gives off that "middle aged bodybuilder" powerhouse look that he has in the book. Batman is like this in the Arkham games as well, its great.

for me, batfleck may have been the best batman. he's big and intimidating.

One of my favorite films. It has its flaws but I enjoy it. Especially looking back at how much potential it had.

Ben was definitely the most intimidating Batman. The scene where he's hiding in the ceiling waiting to attack was seriously unsettling. He's built like a brick shithouse.

No way! Seriously?? I never noticed that. Not being a troll... lol I really didn't. Gonna have to rewatch them now. 😊

I never noticed that's awesome

Two face had a good one, it had a tragic tone to it

What?! Yes Two-Face had a theme and it was GORGEOUS!

Two-Face did have one. It was Dent's theme from earlier in the film(you can hear it when he's meeting with Gordon in his office), but with a darker twist. Go back and watch the scene with Maroni in his car and it can be heard then. BTW, Catwoman and Talia al-Ghul got their own themes too.

Luckily the Batman Forever hate has subsided some. It's not near as bad as people claim. Val Kilmer is a fantastic Bruce Wayne. TLJ is slightly too campy. Carrey works. Schumacher said it was supposed to be a movie form of a comic book and it was that absolutely.

I like forever. Idk why it’s hated. B&R I can see but I find that to be a it’s bad to the point it’s hilarious and I don’t mind a goofy Batman movie

And Batman lights a guy on fire.

I prefer the Burton Batman movies from a visionary and stylistic standpoint, but I like weird things so....

I was batman 3 times for Halloween because of this movie. May not be the best batman movie but is certainly the one I enjoy the most to this day!

Batman Begins suffers from really bad fight scenes. The camera is way to close and you can barely make out what’s happening.

What do you mean "you don't know why" because its adamn good film. I think a shit tone of people would definitely agree with you.

I totally agree. The other two films are fantastic, but Batman Begins just has something about it. The way the story is told is just so damn good and I always thought it had the perfect ending with the music and the scene of Batman and Gordon on the rooftop. "I never said thank you."........."And you'll never have to." Then he flies off into the night. Just an outstanding film.

That's my #2

I love Batman Begins. To see Bruce who was unable to make sense of the world and himself transform to a man who had found himself and something worth fighting for is inspirational. I personally think of that movie when I feel utterly defeated.

I have mixed feelings about it. I liked Nicholson as the Joker, but I didn’t like Keaton as Batman. When I first saw it I was actually angry that the Joker died & that Vicki Vale slept with Bruce Wayne on the first date, instead of hooking up with the reporter who actually supported her.

@@tcgtpl Nicholson stole the show and I think Keaton was a great Batman. He just had a stiff neck. The Vicki Vale part I didn’t mind, I just didn’t like when Alfred took her to the Batcave. That was bullshit.

The only problem I have with Batman 89 is that joker Batman’s biggest villain dies I always wanted a Batman movie series that had joker as a re-appearing character like the scarecrow in the Nolan movies

Keaton simply looked like a moron in most of the scenes. The set pieces were good but I always had mixed feelings for the film.

Facts

Most rewatchable superhero movie imo.

Batman Returns was the best Batman movie

@@nuckygulliver9607 Batman Begins is my favorite. I quit Batman Returns halfway in the movie because it was so bad. The 1989 film is a masterpiece but Tim Burton really lost his touch with the second film.

I disagree with that. I just don't feel like he was a great batman. He didn't have hardly any character development

Facts. Which is why we shouldn't be upset about corny little plot holes in the movies when it's all made up in the first place.

Yet if you removed civil war the plot for the rest of the movies would be the same. Iron man and captain America meet again in avengers endgame but it comes off as a usual spat. Marvel has consequential movies, but they don’t translate that much further into the other movies.

@@thefilmrookie3099 That's not true in the case of Civil War cause the incident of Lagos at the beginning of the movie still effects what happens in The Falcon and the Winter Solider and Wandavision.

It's the last line that reveals his bias. Ben is a serious guy and he prefers his superhero movies to be serious, which is code for dark and gritty. He even stated that he's onboard with Batman killing people if the system can't keep people locked up. He doesn't like the playfulness of the MCU (which he forgot about Sokovia and the Snap and the consequences of that, as well as Stark's PTSD). So of course he would prefer the grittier versions, no matter how out of character they might be.

Same here, I tuned out after he said Danny Elfman’s scores are garbage, I’ve never disagreed harder with Ben!

He got that earlier with Daredevil.

Ben Affleck is the only actor I can think of who has played both Batman and Superman. Well... he played George Reeves playing Superman. Does that count? 🤔

@@gregorymoore2877 wnd Superman?

His acting in the Bruce and Alfred Batcave scene was splendid.

Burton world feels more Batman comic like but his Michael Keaton Batman is not up to the comic book Batman.

Aquaman and Shazam nailed their respective corners of the DCU. Wonder Woman was a good movie but as a period piece it didn’t feel as much like DC. Birds of Prey was unbearably woke but so was the Harley Quinn series it was based on. The movie did replicate the vibe of new 52/rebirth Harley quite faithfully.

@@tek3311 U right I loved aquaman actually. Haven’t seen Shazam but heard it was good

Not true.

he nails Neal Adam's Batman but Burton could be closer to the Batmite Batman days. I like the Batmite days more actually. I think they should do that era

Never saw either. What makes snyder so much better?

@@Zaloomination Once you see Snyder cut of Justice League you'll see why it's actually pretty good and you want to forget that you ever saw Whedon cut.

I'm not big on Superman, but Ben Affleck is an amazing Batman. My friends think I'm nuts but at least I'm not alone... I watched the scene of batman saving superman mom like a dozen times

@@Zaloomination well once you see it you'll know why instead of being a sheep and taking every idiots word who thinks its cool to hate every single new movie these days MAYBE you should check it out for your self instead of listening to morons. Bvs is overhated cause superman fan boys were pissed about the ending when that's litterly how it happens in the comics.

@@rustyshackleford8370 I never liked superman either I always thought he was a stupid overrated insufferably boring superhero and up until Robert Pattinson Ben Affleck was my fave batman. I can just tell Robert Pattinson will be the best one though.

Watch the extended cut

No. Its still hot garbage, its just R rated hot garbage.

The dark knight returns part 1 and 2 make one of my favorite movies let alone Batman movies of all time.

Batman Beyond was my favorite as a kid

I liked the moment where the woman tried to thank her for saving her from the muggers and Pfeiffer slams her up against the wall for being an easy victim that needs a hero to rescue her. Unfortunantly I feel that ultimately lead to the Force being female crap.

@@skylx0812 Back then, when there was no wokeness, it was perfectly fine. Just swapping Glorfindel for Arwen in Lord of the Rings worked fine. Or when Eowyn killed the Witchking saying she was no man. Now such lines would be massive cringe. Let's not do what the woke do and judge the past by the standards of today. Michelle looked absolutely yummy in that movie. Forever my Catwoman!

I dunno if calling them bad is fair. Its a product of its time. Has some charm. Its not trying to be more than it is. Calling it a crap adaptation is fair though

Are you kidding? Adam West was a comedy master for the "Theater of the Bazaar" which the Batman Adam West movie was suppose to be.

@@ergob3907 Ben is right in his placement of them above the Schumacher Batman films (which actually deserve a spot on the list so low they're unseen), but yeah the cheese of the Silver Era really ruins the attraction of Batman. "Campy?" Yes, but, sadly I would call it bad enough to say it's bad.

They were not bad. Just ask Julie Newmar!

Jesus Christ is Lord. It is all True. Please take your salvation seriously. Read the Bible and do what it says. It is more important than you know,

Yes. This list is from a critic that doesn't know what he's saying.

Michael Keaton is great as Bruce Wayne. Jack Nicholson was a terrible choice for joker and ruins the film for me.

@@cosmic_tkb How

@@cosmic_tkb bruh what

@@cosmic_tkb u need therapy

His Batman itself is great... but The Lego Batman Movie was *cringe*

Thats what I thought, he left out an extremely notable mention

Just watched BB: Return of the Joker Friday!

Spot on. They are also dealing with the ramifications of the blip too. Ben isnt a huge Marvel guy but I've been enjoying phase 4. Eternals is one of the weakest movies of the entire run but I still found some of it decent. Wandavision Loki What If and Spidey setting up Dr. Strange 2 which looks crazy. That said The Batman is most my anticipated movie of the year. Finnaly a worlds greatest detective batman. Hope it delivers

lmao Zemo might be the worst "villan" of Marvel, his whole plan was based on the events of mere coincidences

@@sarairuiz2369 Well, at least the two main heroes were more likable and true to their source material. Not just half-baked “deconstructions” that desecrated the essence of the characters.

BVS had alot of the context removed for it's theatrical release. So if you only ever saw the theatrical cut of the movie, It won't be as coherent.

@@osogitzgraymane72 Very true, I have not seen the extended cut and it has been around five years since I viewed the original but I doubt more footage could justify the fact that Batman kills his enemies. Call me crazy, but I think that his rule is integral to his character and if he intentionally breaks it, he is no longer the hero that he is meant to be. If you would like further elaboration on that topic, go view any one of Hitop Films’ videos on the subject.

1. Arkyham 2. Reeves 3. Nolan 4. Cartoons 5. Synder

Nolan trilogy, animated series, and the arkham games are by a landslide my favorites
