Batman & Robin is objectively terrible, but with time I've been able to find things to enjoy about it...such as Arnold chewing massive amounts of scenery and making awesomely bad puns. The Batman may be a more well-made film, but I hated it so much, there's no way I could rank it anywhere but dead last.

Has anyone here seen Batman, Gotham Knight and if so, not only where would you rank it, but do you actually consider it to be Canon to the Christopher Nolan Batman movies?

10/10 The Batman/The Dark Knight- simply perfection, my favorite is whatever one I'm watching
9/10 Batman- one of those movies that feels like an event everytime I watch it, a landmark in cinema
9/10 Batman Begins- this movie blew my mind when it came out (I was 7), it seems to almost over correct from the mistakes of the past (like Superman 2025) but it all mostly works
9/10Mask of the Phantasm- haunting and tragic and beautiful
9/10 Batman Returns- didn't like this as a kid but I've grown to appreciate it more over the years. It's very dark and moody and a bit of a downer but it's fantastic
8/10 Batman v Superman- two movies stitched together, but the ideas presented are great for an elseworlds take
7/10 Batman & Robin- I love the look of this movie and the bizarre overstuffed and underbaked mess it is
7/10 Batman Forever- the serious character work clashes too much with the bombastic approach to everything else
7/10 The Dark Knight Rises- kind of a mess, like two movies were heavily cut and stitched together
6/10 Batman The Movie- just a long rather dull episode of the show

The rest....well they aren't much to rank..maybe The Dark Knight Rises would be 5th for its A/V quality..but it's a stupid violent movie..just saying

If we just talk theatrical features (my earliest experiences with Batman were the 1940s serials when the UK's Channel 4 showed them in summer holidays in the 90s!), my listing would go

Batman (1989)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
The Dark Knight
Batman Returns
Batman (1966)
Batman Forever
Batman Begins
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders
The Batman
Batman vs Two Face
Batman & Robin
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman & Harley Quinn
Batman v Superman
The Killing Joke
