Interesting ranking. I personally would rank The Dark Knight below Breaking Dawn but above Eclipse, and Batman 1989 in between Eclipse and New Moon. Respect you boys' opinion tho!
Here’s the DEFINITIVE order of these movies: Batman ‘89 Batman Begins The Dark Knight Twilight New Moon Eclipse Breaking Dawn - Part 1 The Dark Knight Rises Breaking Dawn - Part 2
*I can’t believe when talking about batcave you didn’t talk about the intruder alert scene. When the cave knows there is an intruder and instead of locking things down, it raises the batmobile up on a lazy Susan*
I’m guessing number one is dark Knight for Robert pattinson’s performance as Edward Cullen-Nygma. He was such a good Riddler. Bit of a weird move to make him a vampire but it worked so well
Unpopular opinion: I know that TDKR isn’t as good as TDK but I like it more because it’s the first film in the trilogy where Batman’s life sucks so much that I’m not annoyed about how broody he is.
I think Rises is better than Begins and if you remove the Joker from Dark Knight it wouldn't be very good. At least with Rises everyone's own story is as interesting as each others
I like a lot of ideas it brings and am happy it's like the one superhero movie with an ending. But there are just a lot parts that just were not entertaining to me.
@@autismgains2216 You’re so right… I was blind… The Room is a better movie than Citizen Kane… I can say this and you can’t argue with me because there’s no objective standard.
@@JustWandering I don't think you know what objective means? You can't argue over opinions??? Lol, what are you talking about???? Please, tell me what is the mathematical formula or scientific method for determining the quality of a movie. Also, yes, The Room is absolutely better than Citizen Kane.
I haven't seen Batman Forever in possibly 2 decades so I can't speak to it's quality, but I have seen Batman & Robin more times than the average person and the truth is that movie is just dull and there are multiple interviews with the actors saying they were told not to put much effort in and that it was mainly created to sell toys first. I feel like all the memes and jokes about the Bat Credit card have given that movie a false image of being some colorful silver age masterpiece when it was really just a souless cash grab. If people do want a wacky Batman, there are so many other choices like the '66 show or The Brave and the Bold.
I’d definitely have a different ranking to you. 9.Batman and Robin 8.Batman forever 7.Batman vs superman 6.Batman 1989 5.Batman returns 4.Batman: mask of the phantasm 3, 2 and 1. Just The Nolan films
My ranking: Mask of the Phantasm Batman (1989) Batman Begins Dark Knight Lego Batman Batman Returns Dark Knight Rises Batman v Superman Justice League (Snyder) Batman and Robin Batman Forever Killing Joke Justice League
this is a very stupid thing to be annoyed about but it bugs me that the third Burton/Schumacher Batman is called "Batman Forever" and the fourth is "Batman and Robin". Not only is the third one the one that actually introduces Robin, but that's just a great pun they through down the toilet with Batman Forever. How is Batman Forever not the Fourth movie? Batman 4Ever. So easy.
Under the Red Hood, Dark Knight Returns, Gotham Knight, and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker should have been included. My wife, who when we met didn’t really care for animated media, told me that she likes animated Batman films more than the live action ones so far. We’re looking forward to the new one coming out but even just a year ago she wouldn’t have cared about Batman.
33:58 "Now Batman's grown up and you've grown up" I've never heard it explained better. People were bonkers for that movie. Everyone received the VHS tape for Christmas that year. EVERYONE!
Thank YOU for being mad at the “Nightwing, no wait. Still Robin” thing. Nightwing is my favourite DC character and they screw him up in the live action ones so much.
The james bond Tom Holland easter egg part had me joining in using the voice. "And I'm guess your thinking was there any hints within the film that I'm James Bond....Noo!" :D
I don't remember ever thinking that there was too much padding in the 'BvS' Bat-suit ... I just remember seeing the scenes where Affleck's doing all that shirtless Crossfit to get ready to take on Superman and thinking "Holy sh*t, Affleck is JACKED!". Because he was genuinely huge, even without the suit. Also, 'Batman Returns' rules. Love that movie, though I'll concede that it's much more a Tim Burton acid-trip fantasy movie than a Batman movie.
I was in Zia records earlier (which also sells collectibles), and the Batfleck figure actually has shorter arms than every other Batman figure, because his suit was so bulky, that his hands could only drop as low as his waist.
The thing about the Lego Batman movie - which we have in our household on DVD and is one about once every 6 to 8 weeks - is that at a couple of points, both Batman and Bruce Wayne blows a disapproving raspberry when there's something he doesn't like but he knows he has to do and in the last couple of watches my 7yo daughter has picked up on this, so when we say to her something completely reasonable like "it's time for bed" or "can you please help take the dishes to the kitchen" she replies with a "fffrrrrrruuuuupppp". Thanks Lego Batman.
Animated version of live action idea: A Nightmare on Elm Street. It lets story ideas and scenarios lead without having to worry about special effects. Robert Englund could even do the voice work without the physical demands.
I am surprised how bad I find your ranking, I usually feel my opinions somewhat align with yours but jeez, Batman V Superman over The LEGO Batman Movie?! That's straight silly
I really liked the new batman movie. I feel like it's story could have been a good comic book, which makes sense, because it is loosely based on the long halloween storyline. I feel like ive finally seen batman from the comics on the big screen. It was a lot of fun and it was refreshing in a world of paint-by-number marvel movies. I love the batman it creates, and how it sets him up for movies to come. Batman loves gotham, despite how hellish it is, and in future movies he will be a protector, not an avenger.
My personal ranking of the Batman movies would have to go: TDK Lego Batman Batman 1989 Batman Begins Batman Returns Mask of the Phantasm BvS Batman Forever Justice League ZSJL I haven’t seen 66 or BaR, though the latter is on Netflix so I might watch it just to complete the Batman movies, but I really have no interest in it outside of that
I was surprised to find out no one finished Legion as I got 3 episodes into season 3 and just stopped watching for no apparent reason and I always said I go back to finish it off but still to this day haven't and truthfully have no desire to finish it off. Even though it was such an amazing comic book tv show probably the best made with regards to making it really feel like something other than just another comic book show.
My current ranking (I haven’t seen TDKR yet and I’ve only seen three of the animated movies, also no including the Justice League films): 1. The Batman 2. Mask of the Phantasm 3. The Dark Knight 4. The LEGO Batman Movie 5. Batman Begins 6. Batman 1989 7. Batman 1966 8. Batman Returns 9. Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero 10. Batman Forever 11. BvS 12. Batman & Robin 13. Catwoman (yes I’m counting that) There is a part of me that likes Batman Begins more than the Dark Knight because I’ve rewatched the former a bit more recently whereas I haven’t seen the latter in nearly 4 years so my opinion of it isn’t as cemented as it is for the former.
Dang. Fellas, I have to tell you... _Batman Forever_ is better as a movie than _Batman Returns_ any day of the week. Though I can't tell you that you made the wrong choice.... Because Michael Keaton and the rest of the cast is better in every way... Damnit! Nevermind!!!! Also, don't let people tell you that you made the wrong choice with thinking _Batman Begins_ is a better Batman movie than _The Dark Knight._ Batman is BARELY the main character is TDK, but in Begins? Almost every scene is Batman-O'Clock!
I actually kind of agree with you. She's kinda underappreciated , I liked her performance matched with that piano they play for her she really did a good job .
@@henrychinaski5938 the scene where Bale confronts her for breaking into his safe and she goes from simpering to badass in a heartbeat was what won me over.
@@MrOtistetrax yes and I love where she goes from badass to crying in the bar soon after that. I enjoyed her performance alot , idk why people don't give her the credit .
Personally I think the next bond movies have a few bonds then have him go missing for ages and build up to a finding James Bond movie where a few agents spend a movie trying to find him
No offense, but the premise that The Dark Knight wouldn't be as good as Batman Begins if you took out the Joker is such a lousy argument. What about Batman himself as a character, Harvey Dent, Rachel Dawes, the organized crime, the dialogue, the plot, the themes, the direction, the action, the practical VFX, the editing, the score, etc. I feel like The Dark Knight is so commonly considered the best that people just instinctively say, "You're just saying that because of Heath Ledger," even though it's actually the best.
At least you guys admit that BvS is better than TDKR. If you look at like Batman and Robin and say it's supposed to be dumb and you look at TDKR and say Nolan was trying to make a masterpiece, on that grading scale, TDKR is the worst Batman movie. Plus it derails the whole trilogy and retroactively ruins all of them. And you're right, without Joker TDK isn't very good and the Joker plot doesn't make any sense anyway.
No mention of Batman Ninja in the rankings, the only Batman with time travel, fighting robot castles and a monkey army. In the bat shit crazy ranking it gets a 10 out of 10.
For me it’s The Batman The Dark Knight Batman Returns Batman 89 Batman Begins Batman 66 The Dark Knight Rises Batman v Superman Batman & Robin Batman Forever
Interesting ranking. I personally would rank The Dark Knight below Breaking Dawn but above Eclipse, and Batman 1989 in between Eclipse and New Moon. Respect you boys' opinion tho!
The Dark Knight earns the top spot on Heath Ledger's performance alone.
@@jaustill237 Actually, Eclipse earns the top spot on Taylor Lautner's performance alone.
Love this hahaha
Here’s the DEFINITIVE order of these movies:
Batman ‘89
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn - Part 1
The Dark Knight Rises
Breaking Dawn - Part 2
@Jon Hesson I was making a chronological joke that didn’t land. #youtubewannabecomic
I hope one of the Twilight movies makes the top 3.
No 😂mm😂m 😅😅
It’s a shame that Tim Burton didn’t use Scarecrow as a character
what do you mean? He was MARRIED to her, duh
In one of the scrapped Batman films in the 90s they were gonna have Jeff Goldblum as the Scarecrow. That would have been great.
@@darthwatson8274
Omg great casting choice
James is so brave to have seen The Batman
Finally 2 hours of enlightened twilight discussion
*The sides of the Batmobile were designed to blow off so it could fit in the drive through*
My brother had that happy meal toy.
*I can’t believe when talking about batcave you didn’t talk about the intruder alert scene. When the cave knows there is an intruder and instead of locking things down, it raises the batmobile up on a lazy Susan*
Best batcave: The LEGO Batman movie. Multiple Batvehicles on multiple lazy susans.
Time to go joyriding around Gotham in the Batmobile only for En Vogue to call you Batboy.
I’m guessing the Dark Knight is number 1 for Heath Ledger’s performance alone
lol
I laughed out loud at Mason's impersonation of James saying, "I can get through this".
Seems like James could have gotten a better deal for sending Nick Mason to hell than seeing a movie slightly earlier.
I was getting a little nervous that this was going to be a Twilight ranking video
@25:05 We've tricked people into paying us money to watch movies" is my new favorite Mason quote 😂
Today James operating at 40% of 40%.
I was worried this was gonna turn into ranking every twilight movie.
I’m guessing number one is dark Knight for Robert pattinson’s performance as Edward Cullen-Nygma. He was such a good Riddler. Bit of a weird move to make him a vampire but it worked so well

You guys saying that Batman & Robin is somewhat better than Batman Forever is unacceptable.
I haven't seen Batman Forever in possibly 2 decades so I can't speak to it's quality, but I have seen Batman & Robin more times than the average person and the truth is that movie is just dull and there are multiple interviews with the actors saying they were told not to put much effort in and that it was mainly created to sell toys first.

If you’re drunk, Batman & Robin is a better time
I’d definitely have a different ranking to you.
9.Batman and Robin
8.Batman forever
7.Batman vs superman
6.Batman 1989
5.Batman returns
4.Batman: mask of the phantasm
3, 2 and 1. Just The Nolan films
I guess LEGO Batman is just too good for this list.
My ranking:

Batman Begins
Dark Knight
Lego Batman
Batman Returns
Dark Knight Rises
Batman v Superman
Justice League (Snyder)
Batman and Robin
Batman Forever
Killing Joke

Thanks for the Tom Holland impressions guys, too funny!
this is a very stupid thing to be annoyed about but it bugs me that the third Burton/Schumacher Batman is called "Batman Forever" and the fourth is "Batman and Robin".

They are all GREAT Batman films... But they are not Theatrical Releases. I guarantee that is what they are doing here, brother.
@@anothercleverusername992 was killing joke a theatrical release?
@@blkstr239133 it had a limited release in theaters in only a select number of theaters, just like Mask of the Phantasm.
Love how you slowly hear James recover from his hangover through the podcast
We all cheered and applauded and went crazy in my theater (1st week it was out) and i was clapping like crazy when Charlie showed up in NWH
One of my friends leaned over to ask who he was. But at least 40% of the room was clapping.
33:58 "Now Batman's grown up and you've grown up" I've never heard it explained better.
People were bonkers for that movie. Everyone received the VHS tape for Christmas that year. EVERYONE!
I like ‘Returns’ more than ‘89’
I think there’s a reason we’ve always gotten 2 villains in every subsequent movie
I concur, I enjoy returns more than batman too
That's right-> twice as many toys.
Isn't it weird? I was thinking exactly of Ryan gosling when you guys said who is a cool guy, did anybody else?
Thank YOU for being mad at the “Nightwing, no wait. Still Robin” thing. Nightwing is my favourite DC character and they screw him up in the live action ones so much.

I think someone who matches the "cool" factor you're talking about is Jensen Ackles who played Dean on Supernatural.

Comic Tropes is a great channel.
@@smacksalad one of my favorites!
Mark of the Phantasm is one of the best. Definitely above 89 and the Nolan trilogy in my eyes.
I am surprised how bad I find your ranking, I usually feel my opinions somewhat align with yours but jeez, Batman V Superman over The LEGO Batman Movie?! That's straight silly
I’m so sorry. I came in late. Can we confirm or deny if James has seen The Batman (2022)?
You know what - it probably didn’t come up.
He saw the new Twilight reboot: Robat Battin Bat: Breaking Up (with Kristen Stewart)

Ever so often, I come back to this video and listen to their Tom Holland pitching James Bond bit. It gets me to tears every time!
This is a fun back to back watch with Dan Murrell’s ranking.
Rewatch the dark knight rises. It’s better as a movie than 89 and BVS by miles 😂
That James Bond twist idea is both dumb, pointless, unworkable, and dumb. But it got me more of that sweet, sweet Tom 'olland voice, so 10/10.
My personal ranking of the Batman movies would have to go:
TDK
Lego Batman
Batman 1989
Batman Begins
Batman Returns
Mask of the Phantasm
BvS
Batman Forever
Justice League
ZSJL
I haven’t seen 66 or BaR, though the latter is on Netflix so I might watch it just to complete the Batman movies, but I really have no interest in it outside of that
I’m with Russo….multiverse gets to be a bit much. Runs the risk of alienating the casuals (which makes the movies huge).
Well Tom Holland is off the table, so my next choice for actually cool would be Jon Hamm.
😂😂😂😂😂I'm dying cuz of the Cherry poppin Daddies reference 😂
James you should have reminded Mason about Lex Luthor mannerisms in BvS. I wonder if he would still rate it over DKRises
the Machine Gun Kelly effect killed me James..... omfg
viggo mortensen is the coolest, baby!
Can't wait for the video about this batman convo. Gonna pause and come back. I'll give you my stream and algorithm stuff
Batman Returns fucking slaps.

No offense, but the premise that The Dark Knight wouldn't be as good as Batman Begins if you took out the Joker is such a lousy argument. What about Batman himself as a character, Harvey Dent, Rachel Dawes, the organized crime, the dialogue, the plot, the themes, the direction, the action, the practical VFX, the editing, the score, etc. I feel like The Dark Knight is so commonly considered the best that people just instinctively say, "You're just saying that because of Heath Ledger," even though it's actually the best.

At least you guys admit that BvS is better than TDKR. If you look at like Batman and Robin and say it's supposed to be dumb and you look at TDKR and say Nolan was trying to make a masterpiece, on that grading scale, TDKR is the worst Batman movie.
