    I just realized that when Batman beats criminals, it’s always to learn something from them that ties to the villain or the plot. But the fact that this film opens with him attacking criminals that have no ties to anything was the thing that made me realize this Batman was going to be amazing.

Batman Begins I think is my second favorite too, the only problem I have with it is the editing felt really off to me in parts. I know it was straight to DVD, but I wanna shout out Batman Under the Red Hood. I freaking love that movie, great story. Looking forward to all the rankings you have coming.

    I genuinely couldn't agree more. The Batman is, for me, the greatest Batman film ever made. It feels like Matt Reeves crawled inside my head, and made a Batman film specifically for me. I know a lot of people feel like that. I've seen it 4 times, and I love it more each time. I didn't think that was possible after the first viewing. Absolutely brilliant film. BY FAR my favorite.

Really did love the batmobile and the characters, the dry humor was done very well.
    Think my only real complaint was the whole "Bruce and Batman dont seem like different entities" but that could easily be something he grows into in later films. and some of the riddles took me a second to connect to the solution even when it was explained

    This channel is so awesome lately! Seriously great!! Here is my Batman movie ranking. Note that I only rank the theatrically released films and if I ranked all the animated ones they will probably dominate this list...
    Starting with the two I probably won’t rewatch ever!
    14. Justice League(2017). This movie is so bad in my eyes that it’s crazy. I hated Batman but specially hated Flash and Stephenwolf! There’s is nothing I like about the movie!
    13. Batman(1966). I understand that it is an historical movie but I really can’t enjoy it today because it’s really dated for me. However, I do like the chemistry between villains.
    All the movies from now on I would rewatch in the future for different reasons...
    12. Batman And Robin. This is a movie I can still enjoy for how ridiculous it is. I always love when I watch this movie and see all those ice puns and how slutty Poison Ivy is. However, I still consider it an awful movie.
    11. The Dark Knight Rises. I really don’t like most of this movie. Its got beautiful cinematography but the story is lacking at best. Bane wasn’t great and Thalia is the worst live action Batman villain... also, Batman was barley even in it.
    from here on I really like all the movies.
    10. The Lego Batman Movie. It was different but kinda nice. I really didn’t liked Batgirl in this one. The villains from other franchises were a nice touch.
    9. Batman Forever. I may have a soft spot for it but I kind of like it. Val is one of my favourite actors and I loved his Bruce Wayne parts, his Batman not as much but still great if you could get rid of those Bat nips. Robin was great. The Riddler was a little bit much but at least the story of a personal grudge towards the hero was original at the time. I can’t defend the Wacky Two Face or the horny Chase Meridian.
    8. Batman. For me its a Joker movie and Jack Nicolson was so great. Michael Keaton is very solid as both Bruce Wayne and as Batman. I like the Batmobile and BatPlane. Also a very important movie with an amazing score. But it could be really boring at parts. Also Vicky Vale feels like a low budget Lois Lane.
    7. The Dark Knight. The cast is great and the opening sequence is amazing!!! Heath Ledger was great in the role. Aaron Ackheart was Solid as Harvey but is Two Face got wasted as a one time crook that got manipulated by a better villain so I actually really dislike this version of the character. Christian Bale was less better than he was previously and I didn’t liked the way he decided to leave things all. A real Batman would have taken the fall and still remained Batman despite having the cops on his tale. Also a bit overrated for me.
    From here on are the Batman movies that I genuinely love!!!
    6. Batman Begins. The best of the Nolan trilogy in my eyes! Great cast. Bale is great here! The villains are awesome and I also like all the side characters(including Kate Holmes). If the final fight between Batman and Ras׳ wouldn’t felt so short and weak this movie would probably be in my top 3.
    5. Batman V Superman: The Dawn Of Justice(The Ultimate Edition). This movie has way more flaws than the Nolan films but it is an epic crossover I’ve been waiting for so many years. Even though his actions are suited and not that lacking, Lex Luther is awful and so annoying in this film! I really don’t care for how stupid and useless Lois is in this one... the rest of the movie is great. For me Gal is great as Wonder Woman and Henry is the best Superman ever. As for the Batman aspects: I think Ben Aflleck is the best in finding the balance between Bruce Wayne and Batman. I also love how badass he is! Jeremy Irons is the best Alfred in my eyes. The fight between Batman and Superman is epic, the final fight against Doomsday is good and the wear house sequence is the best Batman action scene ever!!
    4. Batman Returns. It is my third favourite Christmas films(after Die Hard and Home Alone). I love it’s Gothic vibes. The score is amazing! I also love the animalistic nature of the film and the sub massage that humans are worst than animals Via Max Shriek and Penguin’s parents. Keaton is really solid as Bruce and Batman! Penguin is iconic and Catwoman is legendary! Max Shriek was great opposite of Bruce Wayne. I Also loved the circus people and to date they are my favourite comic book movie powerless goons. I like the Batboat and the Yelloy bird boat that Penguin uses. Yeah I know it’s considered a weird movie but I like this kind of weirdness.
    3. The Batman. I loved this movie! The detective aspect was amazing! Cinematography was amazing! The fights were good even though the armor was little to capable for this realistic version of the character in my eyes. I didn’t love the new Batmobile but the car chase scene was so amazing! Robert was great as Batman and I didn’t care for the absence of the Bruce part of the character. Zoe was great as Catwoman and I liked how they made her realistic. Alfred was good but lacked screen time. Gordon was great as well. I liked The Riddler and his plan but didn’t liked the custom and kind of split about his behaviour after getting caught. The Penguin is great and would love to see more, great job Collin. For me the standout was John Turturro as Carmine Falcon, wow! A great film! I only watched twice in 24 hours so this one can go up or down in my ranking!
    2. Batman: The Mask Of Phantasm. A great movie that also flash out Bruce’s past. I love everything about it from Batman being framed and having to face the GCPD to the new awesome one time villain of Phantasm! Such a cool design. The detective aspect of the story is amazing. The romantic story is great. Usually I don’t like it when Joker is a surprise villain in a film, game or show but here he is just amazing and not too much! Just perfect! Voices of Mark and Kevin will never get enough praises!
    1. Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Batman is the main character so I consider this to be a Batman film! This is MY Lord Of The Rings! The score and cinematography are great! Before I’ll get to Batman I’ll just say that this movie did justice to all the Justice League members, Silas Stone, Gordon and Alfred. It even made Joker great and Lex less bad. Stephenwolf is great as a villain and Darkside as great as the looming threat! I loved The Nightcrawler and all of the cars and gadgets! This movie is so epic to me and Batman is definitely the best part because he is so different than what I used to by being so optimistic, using guns(really good at them as well lol) and threatening to Murder Joker(OMG I love this scene so much!). This is my favourite Comic Book movie in recent memory and I’ve watched it 6 which amounts to 24 hours!

  • @mfeli5046
    @mfeli5046 2 года назад +2

    I was born in 1989, so i can relate to a lot of your views on cinema as a whole Cody Leach.
    Batman:The Animated Series is an ALL TiME CLASSiC cartoon series.
    I remember coming home everyday from kindergarten(at this time is when BTAS was being debuted/aired live), 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade(the show ended, so then by)4th grade & 5th grade, I was binge watching the reruns that would air on TV.
    I was 4 years old when I first watched 1989 Michael Keaton‘s Batman and then I watched it again at 5yrs old, when I was in kindergarten, at this age is when I could really understand what was going on and i actually remembered the movie(instead of in bits & pieces where it felt like me watching 1989 Batman was a 4yr olds FEVER DREAM)I loved it even more and when Batman Returns came out in 1992(🤗I loved this one more than the 1st one)
    I love everything Batman (except) those Lego’s movies, I’ve never been a Lego’s fan, I never played with Lego’s, Lego’s wasn’t my “go to toy” as a kid, so all Batman Movies are amazing to me, I’ve seen them all, but the worst of them all(to me personally) was ALL of the -LEGO Batman Movies-
    I’ll ALWAYS pick 1997’s Batman & Robin over -2017’s The LEGO Batman Movie-
    2008 The Dark Knight( I was 19yrs old) is the 1st Batman movie that I have experienced in the theatre, on opening week, of this movie, & that was the BEST movie experience ever!
    The Dark Knight will ALWAYS be my #1.
    It’s even more of a heart tugging movie & date for me(July 18, 2008) because 7 days later on July 25, 2008 at 3:00 am, my family & I would get a call that my cousin Willie Ray Adams Jr. had been murdered in his apartment, which was next door, to the house, that my Aunt Denise came home to after giving birth to my cousin Willie Ray back in 1970-something, so I lost my cousin, & one of my favorite actors(Heath Ledger) since 10 things I hate about you within the same year & recently the same with my uncle(March 8,2018) & my grandmother(August 2018) dying in the same year (2018) & then losing my dad on March 5, 2021. Whew!
    God bless everyone

    I don’t even wanna post my list because it couldn’t be any further from yours lol. But screw it let’s go.
    1. The Dark Knight Rises- One of my favorite movies of all time. Bane is an absolute beast.
    2. The Dark Knight- Another one of my favorite movies of all time.
    3. Batman 89- Fantastic film. Always loved this one.
    4. Joker- Fantastic origin story, even though it wasn’t really the joker that we all know and love.
    5. Batman Forever- Not sorry at all, I grew up with these films and I love them. Two Face and Riddler are an absolute blast to watch. Very fun movie.
    6. Batman and Robin- Yep, I put this one this high up. This movie is ridiculously stupid, but that’s why I love it. I can quote the lines in this movie all day. So hilarious. The combination of nostalgia and humor makes it a very fun time for me
    7. Batman Returns- Always my least favorite of the 90s era, it’s still a good movie. Michelle as Catwoman is one of the best villains on this list in my opinion.
    8. Batman Begins- I like it but I don’t love it. Begins was always a little boring to me. And it did the scarecrow a little dirty. I also don’t like the back and forth through time stuff. I enjoy it but it’s not one of my favorites.
    9. The Batman- Gotta be honest, this isn’t my kind of Batman movie. I respect it, but it just didn’t do it for me. I recognize it was a great film, but it was just a little too much. I like a dark Batman, but this was just so slow and so long. At one point I forgot I was watching a Batman movie. I think it’s awesome that so many people love this movie, but this Batman and this world is just not for me.
    10. Batman v Superman- Not a fan. I watched it once and have no desire to watch it again. Meh.
    11. Justice League- I don’t like this movie at all.
    12. Batman 66- Not my thing whatsoever.
    13. Catwoman- Lol
    14. Suicide Squad- Literally my least favorite movie of all time.

The Dark Knight is the better movie, but Begins felt more like Batman to me.

    I haven't watched the new Batman yet, so things can change. I agree with most of your list except for the original Batman. I still enjoy that movie a lot. It's in my top 3. It's like the Crow. A movie I can revisit and watch again and again.
    The Phantasm was seen again in the Justice League Animated Series in a small cameo. She became a bounty hunter or paid assassin, can't remember exactly. Mask of the Phantasm is actually my favorite Batman movie of all time. I really like how it goes deep into Bruce Wayne's origins showing him as a vigilante before he puts on the suit. Batman Begins is number 2 and Original 89 film is my number 3.
    Agree with The Dark Knight. It's a great film, but it's mostly an ensemble cast where you appreciate the performances, but maybe not enjoy the story as much. Katie Holmes also was the better Rachel. Some films that weren't theatrical, but want to give a mention are Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Batman vs Dracula. These are enjoyable animated films that I can watch over and over again.

    29:30 I believe the term you're looking for is "recency bias". Having said that, I am 110% on board with your take of The Batman. I just saw it Sunday with one of my sons and have been trying different angles to crack an excuse that would work on taking my wife to see it so I can have a second time at it AND have her confirm what I think of it already. (I've been saying "you like Forensic Files right? Well... it's a detective-based Batman, you'll love it!" Still working on it.) That said, everything about it is amazing... casting, soundtrack, cinematography, ALL of it.
    Even the little things, some may have been overlooked: black eye make up? Yes, it doesn't magically disappear when he becomes Bruce Wayne. There was a scene where he uses it perfectly as he visits the club again--still having the eye make-up on from donning the Batman suit. This isn't My Chemical Romance Batman... it's REAL Batman and I love it. I've been die-hard Batman fan since my 9th birthday and having a Batman-themed cake after Michael Keaton's first Batman. He is my favorite DC character, always has been.
    It goes with Captain America as my favorite Marvel character--I'm prior service Army, currently USAF so it connects for me... and my favorite color has always been black, always been a fan of night over day so Batman also a given.
    I love your ranking premise, your video has a good pace and your take on the Batmobile btw? Yes, loved it too. (His "normal" car being a '63 Corvette Stingray was pretty badass too--owner of 3 Chevrolets myself so, call me bias.)
