A list of nine Batman movies from 2005 to 2022, with ratings, summaries, directors and stars. See the chronological order and the latest releases of the Dark Knight saga.
- Batman: The Movie (1966) The iconic 1966 adaptation of Batman by Adam West was the first ever colorized Batman movie and remains a timeless classic to date.
- Batman (1989) After Adam West, Michael Keaton was cast as Batman, and people, after getting the news, were highly skeptical. Since Keaton was known for his comic roles, people thought that Batman was going to be a goofball again but once the movie was released, Keaton’s Batman threw a Batarang at all the skepticism floating around.
- Batman Returns (1992) Batman Returns is the second installment of Michael Keaton’s Batman movies and features Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeiffer. This movie has the scariest and ghore-filled presentation of the penguin, played by Danny DeVito, ever seen in a live-action Batman movie.
- Batman Forever (1995) In 1995, Val Kilmer was cast as Batman for Batman Forever and I won’t be wrong to say that it turned out to be a hot mess. Val Kilmer, in himself, was not bad in the role of Batman but the way this movie was made took Batman back to the Adam West era.
In 1966, a Batman feature film based on the contemporaneous Batman television series was released. It starred Adam West as Batman, Burt Ward as Robin, Cesar Romero as the Joker , Burgess Meredith as the Penguin , Frank Gorshin as the Riddler , and Lee Meriwether as Catwoman .
