Atavachron! I mean a PROPER fight, not the Joker sitting on him punching him for about ten seconds! The dogs don't count! I would have preferred to see a true scrap, nothing like a total crazy to provide a real dirty and unpredictable slug-fest. Even Loony Bin Jim, in the `Punisher War Zone' film, although being puny, really beat the hell out of the hero, proving that all movie pyschopaths really can give a good beatdown!

I know the Joker would not have been much of a physical threat, but even the Nicholson Joker got more of a real fight!

actually in the comix the Joker is generally considered to be big and quite tough, so yes a real brawl would be appropriate

Yes! In the comics he's got a real nasty sadistic streak that fuels his unpredictable crazy strength lol! He always gets a few mean shots in! In the recent relaunch, he's been particularly vile.

I easily voted for the first Keaton film. Much more entertaining than the recent trilogy, filled with great action and style. Never afraid to acknowledge that it's based on a comic book either. Keaton nailed the voice too, unlike Christian Bale - although there was a big improvement from him in the current `Rises' film! 

I'm not much of a fan of `The Dark Knight' film. I always found it deadly serious and quite dull for long stretches. It's made a lot better by the two villain performances from Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhardt, I think people have raised it higher due to associating it with the awful situation surrounding Ledger. 

The newie `Rises' was a huge improvement to me! A bit more crowd pleasing, much more fun and some added much needed humour. Far more pure entertainment!

Agreeing with you on everything, but I haven't seen the latest and steered away from Batman and Robin (as it got slaughtered in the press and was directed by Joel Schumacher). And as far as I can remember I prefer Batman Returns. Surreal fun! Penguin rules!

Although Heath Ledger slurped and smacked his lips too much, everything but the villains in Begins and Dark Knight was dull. Christian Bale looks and sounds less alive than a badly animated computer game character or something.

Saperlipopette! I think `Batman and Robin' is worth watching in a `so bad it's good' frame of mind lol! I think it's a huge guilty pleasure! The whole script is virtually one bad pun or one liner after another, and it's really an example in awful Hollywood excess! You can see there is so much money behind it, and it's full of massive sets all lit with these vile neon day-glo colours! Arnie's awful delivery of his `ice'-puns are all total clunkers, worth watching for that alone!

I do get the feeling that most of the rest of the cast hammed it up and acted totally appropriately, given the tacky and over-the-top tone of the film.

Agree with both of you above, the Penguin was terrific in that second film! Really vile and sleazy, loved him eating the fish! Terrific make-up and costume work on him too!

Yep! Plenty of classics like `Ice to see you', `Everybody - chill!' and `Today's forecast - a Freeze is coming!'! Pure cinematic gold

I always got a laugh from Batman telling Robin about how evil the plant-girl villain Poison Ivy is, but adds "Nice stems, though...."!

Painful but tragically funny!

Batman
The Dark Knight
Batman Returns
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman Begins
Batman Forever
Batman (1966)
Batman & Robin

I enjoy the '66 movie once in a while for it's corny and fun approach. The Batman & Robin movie is just a horrible movie, the only one that I'll get drunk to so I can make fun of it more.

Obviously, the anti-shark bat-spray should be enough to make the first Batman movie one of the best of all time of all movies of all ages. But if I am to disregard such mastery, this would be my list: 

Excellent movies: 

The Dark Knight
Batman Begins

Great movies: 

The Dark Knight Rises

Good movies: 

Batman Returns 
Batman (89) 

Mediocre movies: 

Batman Forever

Bad yet amazing movies:

Batman (Adam West et. al., 1966) 

Bad, bad, atrocious, without redeeming feature movies:

Batman and Robin.

C'mon, a movie with Terminator-Mr. Freeze ("A freeeeze is coming!"), a dumb Bane, some seriously bad one-liners, and lots of views of Batman, Robin, and Bat-girl's butts doesn't give you a clue that director Joel Schumacher was paying tribute to the campy Batman of the '60s? Wink

I will say, that George Clooney was the worst Batman. He was just acting George Clooney as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. At least Val Kilmer acted like Batman, even when he was Bruce Wayne Ermm

I'm guessing this is because Mask of the Phantasm still pwns them all, and so it wouldn't be much of a competitive poll if it was in it. Approve

I'm torn between Batman (1966) and The Dark Knight for completely different reasons.  The Dark Knight is simply a brilliant film, which forced me into a theater for more viewings than any other film but No Country (tie), while the 66' movie is a campy classic.  Batman 1966 has one of my favorite movie opening scenes ever:
What can you say about that, really?
 
Who am I kidding, gotta vote for the real film.  Dark Knight it is.


Time always wins.

Wait you guys didn't like Batman:TAS ?   I thought it was great, one of the best animated shows ever.

Again, that scene with the anti-shark Bat-spray ensure this movie's place in the pantheon of High Art forever.

Strangely, I enjoy Tim Burton's versions of Batman more than Nolan's. Even though I don't like most of the rest of Burton's work, and I enjoy the rest of Nolan's filmography a lot.
 
I'll go with Batman Returns. As others stated before me, Danny DeVito is great. And the scene with the penguins leading the penguin's body into the water...marvelous.
