Who is the Batman? The Caped Crusader has been reinvented so many times over the years that nobody really knows for sure. Far from being a character flaw, however, Batman's adaptability is one of the main reasons he's endured for more than 80 years. Few other major superheroes have the range to be portrayed as dark, moody loners, one minute, wisecracking teamplayers the next. Over his long crime-fighting career, the Dark Knight has done it all.The many Batman movies have been as eclectic as the character himself, from the gritty realism of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, to the high-camp of Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin. The Bat franchise has also been rebooted on a regular basis ? he's as durable as James Bond ? with each take on the character giving Gotham's most famous son a thorough makeover. The latest, The Batman, arrives in June 2021, with Robert Pattinson donning the famous cowl.But where to start your viewing? We take a trip to the mean streets of Gotham, working our way through the Caped Crusader's glittering cinematic career to reveal how to watch Batman movies in order.Batman (1943)Batman and Robin (1949)Batman: The Movie (1966)Batman (1989)Batman Returns (1992)Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)Batman Forever (1995)Batman & Robin (1997)Batman Begins (2005)The Dark Knight (2008)The Dark Knight Rises (2012)Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)Suicide Squad (2016)The Lego Batman Movie (2017)Justice League (2017)Joker (2019)The Batman (2021)Above you'll find all of the Batman movies released theatrically in the decades since the character's creation. Beyond the big Bat franchises, Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego have made numerous other big screen appearances ? starting in the 1940s, when a serialized detective drama was made to cash in on the newfound popularity of a character who had made his comic book debut in 1939. Lewis Wilson played the title role in 1943's Batman, with Robert Lowery taking over for 1949's Batman and Robin.The Caped Crusader's next big-screen appearance came in 1966, when Hollywood decided to capitalize on the Biff!/Kapow! success of the tongue-in-cheek Adam West TV show. It's a movie with plenty of villains, and also the origin of the iconic Shark Repellent Batspray ? a crucial item in the bat-arsenal that would be absent from the big screen until The Lego Batman Movie in 2017.The Caped Crusader has also been a big player in the world of animation, headlining a pair of big-screen cartoons. The excellent Mask of the Phantasm took the critically acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series to the cinema, while nearly a quarter of a century later, The Lego Batman Movie made life in Gotham look more fun that it had been at any time since the 1960s.Batman was also a supporting player in The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2, and made a brief appearance in the critically acclaimed Joker ? albeit as a pre-Caped Crusader Bruce Wayne, forced to endure the loss of his parents (yet again). Batman's also referenced elsewhere in the DC Extended Universe in Shazam!, Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, and ? though he's not seen on screen in Wonder Woman ? it's Bruce Wayne who sends Diana the photo that prompts her to flashback to the events of World War I. In other words, the Bat is everywhere...Batman movies in chronological order(Image credit: Warner Bros/DC Entertainment)When it comes to cinematic reboots, no other superhero can compete with Batman ? with Robert Pattinson's 2021 debut in the cowl kicking off the Caped Crusader's fourth big-screen continuity, even cinematic mainstays Superman and Spider-Man are languishing way behind.Given Bats' enduring popularity, it's remarkable that Hollywood didn't give him a major movie franchise before 1989, when director Tim Burton pitted Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne against Jack Nicholson's scenery-chewing Joker. It became the second highest-grossing film of that year, so a sequel was inevitable ? but nobody expected what Burton, given remarkable levels of creative freedom, would deliver. The darker, weirder Batman Returns is one of the most wilfully, wonderfully bizarre superhero movies ever made. Unfortunately, that meant that it made considerably less at the box office than its predecessor, and prompted Warner Bros to go much more mainstream when it went back to Gotham.Batman Forever saw Joel Schumacher taking over behind the camera, with Val Kilmer donning the cape. Despite being a commercial success, this silly, neon-drenched threequel was rather less popular with critics ? though worse was to come... Two years later, Batman & Robin all-but-killed the franchise with a movie that regularly features in "worst ever" lists, and made sure that George Clooney (the then-ER star tasked with taking over from Kilmer in the Batsuit) had an inauspicious start to his career as an A-lister.An eight-year absence from the big screen followed, despite various abandoned efforts at a Bat-reboot ? Darren Aronofsky worked with Frank Miller on an adaptation of the Year One comic, while Das Boot/Air Force One director Wolfgang Petersen was linked to a Batman v Superman project. Gotham City's saviour came in the unlikely form of Christopher Nolan, a young director who'd made his name with backwards thriller Memento, and had a gritty, realistic vision for the Caped Crusader. Starting with Batman Begins, the Christian Bale-starring Dark Knight trilogy remains one of the high points in the history of superhero movies, with action sequences to die for and genuine moral complexity.Sadly for rights-holders Warner Bros, Nolan's story was always going to be a three-movie deal, so Batman was going to require another reboot after 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. It ultimately came as part of DC's efforts to take on the all-conquering Marvel Cinematic Universe ? though this time, Bats wouldn't be the only headline attraction.(Image credit: Warner Bros)A sequel to 2013 Superman reboot Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set out to spontaneously kickstart an MCU-style shared universe ? The Avengers in an instant. Zack Snyder's dour movie missed the mark somewhat. With Ben Affleck assuming the mantle of an older, nastier Batman unafraid to break the character's cardinal rule about killing, this incarnation was a hard one to love, so it was a mild relief when he lightened up for his appearances in Suicide Squad (essentially a glorified cameo) and Justice League. Sadly, both of those movies were dreadful. This Batman was all set to headline his own movie, with Affleck attached to write and direct, but after the star decided to leave the project, Gotham's most famous son was once again in limbo. Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield and Dawn of/War for the Planet of the Apes, took the helm of The Batman, and cast Robert Pattinson as his Bruce Wayne/Batman. The Batman will pit the Caped Crusader against a rogues' gallery of classic Bat-foes, including Catwoman (Zo? Kravitz), Riddler (Paul Dano) and Penguin (Colin Farrell) in a movie set to debut in June 2021.And before you ask, no, frustratingly there is absolutely zero continuity between these various Bat-franchises. Instead, we've broken them down into eras for you to digest.The Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher eraBatman (1989)Batman Returns (1992)Batman Forever (1995)Batman & Robin (1997)The Dark Knight trilogyBatman Begins (2005)The Dark Knight (2008)The Dark Knight Rises (2012)DC Extended UniverseBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)Suicide Squad (2016)Justice League (2017)Batman reboot (Robert Pattinson)Best Batman movies: ranking the filmSeeing as Batman's cinema appearances have been spread over nearly 80 years, it's no surprise there's been a massive range of style and tone. But few franchises in history ? even James Bond ? have had such a large variation in quality. Ranking the Batman theatrical releases by IMDb user ratings, it's no surprise to see Christopher Nolan's majestic The Dark Knight at the top of the tree, closely followed by the critically adored Joker ? it may not technically be a Batman movie, but it's definitely a film spawned from Bruce Wayne's crime-ridden world. It's interesting to note that both of those films feature an Oscar-winning performance from an actor playing the Joker ? Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, respectively.It was also inevitable that the risible Batman & Robin should be the film propping up the table ? it saw significantly more action at anti-Oscars the Razzies than it did at the Academy Awards.Direct to video/TV animated Batman moviesAs befits a billionaire playboy with money to burn, Batman was never going to be satisfied with only conquering the big screen. Subsequently, the Caped Crusader has appeared in numerous animated direct-to-video/TV movies over the course of his eventful lifetime.His earlier feature-length animated outings were spin-offs from popular TV cartoon series ? as sequels to Mask of the Phantasm, Batman and Mr Freeze: SubZero and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman were effectively spin-offs from the acclaimed Batman: The Original Series/The New Batman Adventures. Meanwhile, Return of the Joker was based in the universe of the future-set Batman Beyond, and the genre mashing The Batman vs Dracula was part of the '00s The Batman TV show.However, it's over the last decade that Batman has become particularly active on the animated movie front, as Warner Bros has rolled out its successful line of DC Universe Animated Original Movies. Indeed, some have been such a big deal that they've been given one-night-only cinematic releases to tie in with their debut on home entertainment formats.While many of these films have been based on original stories or set in DC's Animated Movie Universe, the line has been most notable for bringing classic standalone stories from the Batman comic books (such as Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke) to the screen.The Caped Crusaders's feature-length offering is rounded off with a pair of animated stories set in the universe of the '60s TV series (these include the late Adam West's last outing in the role, and his Batman's first encounter with Two-Face); the Japanese-made Batman Ninja; and unlikely team-ups with Scooby-Doo and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.Batman: The Animated Series/The New Batman AdventuresBatman and Mr Freeze: SubZero (1998)Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)Batman BeyondBatman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000)The BatmanThe Batman vs Dracula (2005)DC Universe Animated Original MoviesJustice League: The New Frontier (2008)Batman: Gotham Knight (2008)Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (2009)Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (2010)Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010)Batman: Year One (2011)Justice League: Doom (2012)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 (2012)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 (2013)Justice League: Paradox (2013)Justice League: War (2014)Son of Batman (2014)Batman: Assault on Arkham (2014)Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)Batman vs Robin (2015)Justice League: Gods and Monsters (2015)Batman: Bad Blood (2016)Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)Batman and Harley Quinn (2017)Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018)Justice League vs the Fatal Five (2019)Batman: Hush (2019)Batman 66Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016)Batman vs Two-Face (2017)Japanese-made movieCartoon spin-offsScooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2018)Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)Best superhero shows, including the Batman animated series While DC and Marvel have been slugging it out for comic book supremacy for decades, the home of Iron Man, Thor and Captain America is the undisputed champion at the box office. As the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League on HBO Max has proved, however, the DC Extended Universe is still capable of dominating pop culture conversation.Since the DCEU kicked off with Man of Steel in 2013 ? at a time when Christopher Nolan's superlative Dark Knight trilogy was still fresh in the public consciousness ? its movies have been something of a mixed bag. Having started out as a darker, less fun version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ? rushing Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more into a shared continuity ? it's since evolved into something different again. Rather than obsessing about emulating the MCU's trademark interconnectivity, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam! and Birds of Prey have concentrated on telling their own standalone stories.As a result, pinning down the exact chronology of the DC Extended Universe is a little more complicated than it is for the MCU. But as this guide to watching the DCEU movies ? and an upcoming TV show ? in order explains, there are plenty of clues that reveal how all the stories fit together...Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.

Fury of the Gods (2023)Wonder Woman 3 (TBC)The Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn't always the undisputed champion of the superhero genre. A decade ago, the so-called Distinguished Competition held the upper hand, thanks to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy ? the director's second bat-movie was the first superhero movie to break the billion-dollar barrier at the box office.The balance of power shifted in 2012, as The Avengers did the seemingly impossible by successfully bringing Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk together in one movie. The same year, The Dark Knight Rises brought Nolan's sequence to a close, leaving DC in need of new vehicles for their biggest superheroes.Man of Steel (2013) was 100% a Superman story, but a carefully deployed Wayne Enterprises logo revealed that Clark Kent lived in the same world as Batman. The returning Snyder subsequently pitted the two biggest icons of DC Comics against each other in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), a film that bit off more than it could chew by trying to launch a shared universe in one swoop. Wonder Woman had an extended cameo ? and there were brief sightings of Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg ? but it was far from DC's answer to The Avengers.DC also brought its criminal element into the limelight that year in Suicide Squad, before Wonder Woman got the belated chance to headline her own movie in 2017.Wonder Woman is arguably the most important movie in the history of the DCEU, its sense of fun and optimism proving that DC could play Marvel at its own game. They also beat Marvel to the crucial milestone of getting a femaleled superhero movie on the big screen, with Wonder Woman landing more than 18 months ahead of Captain Marvel. The DCEU was back on track.Or so it seemed, until the (then) hotly anticipated Justice League brought Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Superman together to fight the extra-terrestrial threat of Steppenwolf ? and misfired.A combination of creative differences and family tragedy had prompted Snyder to quit the project months before it was due in cinemas, so Warner drafted in Joss Whedon ? the writer/director of the first two Avengers movies ? to complete the film. Bringing the cast back for extensive reshoots, Whedon completely reshaped the movie, massively cutting its runtime, and upping the gag count to bring it more in line with the Marvel formula his paymasters were trying to emulate. Unfortunately, he was unable to paper over the cracks and contradictions between the two versions (and visions) of the story, and Justice League flopped both commercially and critically.Four years later, Snyder was unexpectedly given the chance to revisit his version of Justice League, and he delivered a longer, more coherent take on the superhero team-up. It landed on HBO Max in March 2021 as Zack Snyder's Justice League ? a whopping 242 minutes of it. (Anyone hoping for the disappointing Suicide Squad to get similar director's cut treatment is going to be disappointed, however, as WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff has confirmed the studio "won't be developing [director] David Ayer's cut" of the movie.)Since Justice League's original cinema release, standalone movies have come back to the fore in the DCEU. Aquaman (traditionally the butt of the joke in superhero conversations, notably in Family Guy) and Shazam! both took the franchise in fun new directions ? Aquaman with its spectacular underwater world, Shazam! with its Big-style wish fulfilment.Elsewhere, the epically titled Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn finally gave Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn ? by some distance the best thing in Suicide Squad ? a more worthy vehicle for her talents in early 2020. And Wonder Woman then proved herself to be the only high-profile big-screen superhero brave enough to take on Covid-19, as Wonder Woman 1984 belatedly made it into cinemas in December 2020.Next on the slate is Squad sequel/reboot The Suicide Squad (written and directed by Guardians of the Galaxy's James Gunn) due in August 2021, which will be followed by HBO Max spin-off TV show Peacemaker, focused on a new antihero played by John Cena.Then, Batman is getting set to begin all over again in Robert Pattinson-starring reboot The Batman (early 2022), directed by Dawn of/War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves. And a timeline-hopping Flash movie (based on the Flashpoint arc from the comics) is also on the way, while Dwayne Johnson is headlining Black Adam ? the star recently teased the first page of the script on Instagram.Unsurprisingly, there are Aquaman and Shazam! sequels in the works ? the latter subtitled Fury of the Gods ? along with a third instalment of the Wonder Woman saga. Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell has also been signed up to script a movie based on DC character Zatanna (reported by Variety).And in case you're wondering, we haven't forgotten about Joker. We've left it out because it exists in its own continuity, totally separate from the DCEU.Wonder Woman makes a stand in No Man's Land in her first solo movie. (Image credit: Warner Bros)How to watch the DCEU movies in order: chronological orderWonder Woman (World War I sequences)Wonder Woman 1984Man of SteelBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeSuicide SquadWonder Woman (present-day bookends)Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley QuinnJustice League (both versions)AquamanShazam!The Suicide SquadWhile the shared continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is cinema's most impressive example of joined-up thinking and forward planning, the DCEU timeline has a rather more ambiguous ? and ad hoc ? feel to it. Indeed, sometimes the best you can do is make an informed guess on how the chronology fits together. Alternatively, you can try not to worry about it and just enjoy each movie on its own merits ? arguably the most sensible move DC and Warner have made with their superhero slate is to concentrate on making good movies, rather than getting hung up on how they fit into established continuity.There's no question what comes first in DCEU canon. Predominantly set during World War I ? with some sequences taking place centuries in the past ? Wonder Woman is where the earliest bits of the saga's action take place.Diana Prince also headlines the second instalment in DCEU chronology, returning around seven decades after events of the first movie ? looking like she hasn't aged a day ? in Wonder Woman 1984.Next up in the DCEU chronology is Man of Steel, whose wholesale destruction of Metropolis sets the scene for Batman's seething resentment of Superman in Dawn of Justice. If only they'd found out their mums were both called Martha sooner...From here, things get fuzzier ? though Supes' death in Batman v Superman is a useful reference point.In the bookends of Wonder Woman, Diana receives a photo of her World War I unit from Bruce Wayne ? someone she met for the first time in Dawn of Justice. And Wayne also crops up in Suicide Squad, meeting with Amanda Waller to discuss recruiting metahumans like the Flash and Aquaman to help protect a Superman-less world. It's clear, then, that both slot between Batman v Superman and Justice League in the DCEU's story arc.But as loose and flexible as DCEU continuity now is, it's the Whedon version of Justice League that's now considered canon ? even though some elements of his movie will exist in future instalments. (For example, Kiersey Clemons will reprise her role as Iris West in The Flash, even though her one appearance to date came in the Snyder Cut.)"My Justice League, is not canon," Snyder confirmed on the DC Cinematic Podcast. "Canon, for Warner Bros, is the Joss Whedon version of Justice League. That's, in their mind, canon, and what I'm doing is not. Everything I'm doing is not. And I'm fine with it, because I feel like the only way I could've made this film with autonomy is because of me admitting and agreeing that it is not canon."Justice League also the end of the road for the so-called `Snyder-verse' ? in other words, Snyder won't be concluding the apocalyptic Darkseid story arc teed up by his cut of Justice League."I appreciate that [the fans] love Zack's work and we are very thankful for his many contributions to DC," said WarnerMedia CEO Ann Sarnoff. We're just so happy that he could bring his cut of the Justice League to life because that wasn't in the plan until about a year ago. With that comes the completion of his trilogy [started with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman]."Birds of Prey could take place at any point following Suicide Squad ? all we know is that the Joker rescued Harley Quinn from the government in the latter movie, and they subsequently broke up off screen. Whether the movie takes place before or after Justice League is unknown, though the events of 2021's The Suicide Squad will take place further into Harley's future. The Peacemaker spin-off TV show is a prequel, set before the events of The Suicide Squad.We do know for sure, however, that Aquaman is set after the DCEU's big team-up. In the movie, Mera references the events of Justice League, though there's no explanation for Arthur Curry wearing an Atlantean suit that never appears in his Aquaman wardrobe ? probably best to put that one down to a continuity error rather than some grand plan.We also know that Shazam! follows Aquaman, seeing as Billy Batson and best friend Freddy are aware of the events of the underwater movie ? they've even bought the t-shirt.Right now we're not sure whether The Batman, the latest take on the Caped Crusader will exist in the wider DCEU continuity. But seeing as The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, while an older Ben Affleck incarnation already exists in the DCEU, we suspect that Matt Reeves' movie will exist as a separate entity. Though with The Flash reportedly bringing Tim Burton's Batman star Michael Keaton back as an older incarnation of the Dark Knight, don't be surprised if the contradictions are explained away as part of some kind of DC multiverse.Expect the Aquaman and Shazam! sequels to pick up after their predecessors, though Wonder Woman 3 could realistically be set at any time of returning director Patty Jenkins' choosing. Aquaman headlines his own movie. (Image credit: Warner Bros.)The DCEU movies ranked: from best to worstWhile Marvel movies are generally popular with critics, DCEU offerings haven't fared quite so well. That's borne out when you rank the movies by their IMDb user ratings.Wonder Woman, commonly regarded as one of the best of the DCEU films, comes out with a score of 7.4. That's respectable enough, though it's only enough to equal the 12th highest ranked MCU movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the pantheon of movies based on DC franchises, Wonder Woman is only the eighth most popular ? Joker, Tim Burton's first Batman, cartoon classic Mask of the Phantasm, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy an all rank higher.Wonder Woman is also outranked by Zack Snyder's Justice League, though we suspect that once the excitement surrounding its release has died down a bit, the new cut of Justice League will end up with a slightly lower, more realistic rating.In fact, we'd argue there are several dubious scores within these rankings. No arguments with Wonder Woman and Shazam! performing well, but Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984 (as flawed as the latter is) deserve a lot more love. And IMDb voters have been much too generous to the tedious Batman v Superman and Joss Whedon's muddled original Justice League.How to watch the X-Men movies in order
