Ranking the Batman films - live action

[Deezer1986]

I tried to search for a topic like this, and I couldn’t find one. My apologies if I missed it. I’m wanting to see people’s thoughts on ranking the live-action Batman films. I figure there’s 11. I don’t count Joker or Suicide Squad. Here’s my list:

11 - Batman & Robin
10 - Justice League 2017
9 - Batman 1966
8 - Batman Forever
7 - Batman Returns
6 - The Dark Knight Rises
5 - Zack Snyder’s Justice League
4 - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
3 - Batman Begins
2 - Batman 1989
1 - The Dark Knight

Would love to hear your thoughts.

4) Batman Forever
5) The Dark Knight Rises
6) Batman & Robin
7) Batman Returns
8) Batman '66

I'm only ranking the purely Batman films and the ones that were released theatrically (sorry Batman '66 and the 40s serials).

1. Batman
2. Batman Returns
3. The Dark Knight
4. Batman Begins
5. The Dark Knight Rises
6. Batman Forever
7. Batman & Robin

But we all know really that Mask of the Phantasm is the best film overall.

Not including Catwoman, Suicide Squad, Joker, etc...

01. Batman Returns
02. Batman (1989)
03. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
04. Zack Snyder's Justice League
05. Batman Forever
06. Batman & Robin
07. The Dark Knight
08. Batman (1966)
09. Batman Begins
10. The Dark Knight Rises

And I know this is probably blasphemous as I'm a massive Batfan, but I never finished the 1943 serial (and so never watched its 1949 follow-up neither).

Justice League

I can't remember if I've ever watched Batman Forever and Batman and Robin fully, properly. I'm not interested in doing so. I never watched any of the old ones or Batman v. Superman, because I'm not into other superheroes, for the most part. I wouldn't have even watched Justice League if the power in my neighborhood hadn't gone out after dark.
