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.
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’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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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
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 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 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.
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
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 .
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

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
I think visually Batfleck is the best Batman and Dark Knight/Rises is the worst. Obviously film quality is opposite. Dark Knight Rises The Batman Batman BvS Lego Batman Batman Returns Begins Justice League Forever Phantasm 66 Batman And Robin If I were to rank the films in order (I'll let you pick if its best-worst or worst-best)
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.
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.
Every time I catch any of the Tim Burton _Batman_ movies, I just can't believe how awful they are. I'm stunned by how poorly they've aged, how embarrassed they make me feel.
Tim Burton only did two Batman films. Batman 89 and Batman Returns. Batman 89, though not a perfect movie, is pretty solid. Batman Returns is a bit off the reservation but still passable. The subsequent films from that run that are truly embarrassing (Batman Forever and Batman & Robin) were not Tim Burton films.
I hope one of the Twilight movies makes the top 3.
No 😂mm😂m 😅😅
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
James is so brave to have seen The Batman
Finally 2 hours of enlightened twilight discussion
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
*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’m guessing the Dark Knight is number 1 for Heath Ledger’s performance alone
lol
*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 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’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
I was getting a little nervous that this was going to be a Twilight ranking video
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

"... isn't as good [...] but I like it more."
I despise statements like this on art. As if there's some objective standard when it's all feeling.
@@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.
Today James operating at 40% of 40%.
I was worried this was gonna turn into ranking every twilight movie.
@25:05 We've tricked people into paying us money to watch movies" is my new favorite Mason quote 😂
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!
Thanks for the Tom Holland impressions guys, too funny!
Love how you slowly hear James recover from his hangover through the podcast
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
I love listening to James and Maso rank off.
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.

Interesting, I always thought his suit looked very bulky.
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.
Mark of the Phantasm is one of the best. Definitely above 89 and the Nolan trilogy in my eyes.
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 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.
I’ve been horrifically hungover twice this week and I’m happy to have someone to relate to. Thank you Mr. Sunday and stay hydrated!

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!
I’m with Russo….multiverse gets to be a bit much. Runs the risk of alienating the casuals (which makes the movies huge).
Hey, in Batman (66), people may of died, but no ducks were harmed!
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".

"What's wrong with smoking a cigar?" - Mr Sunday, 2022.
Well Tom Holland is off the table, so my next choice for actually cool would be Jon Hamm.
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 struggling to drink this water"🤣
I think someone who matches the "cool" factor you're talking about is Jensen Ackles who played Dean on Supernatural.
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)
Who is cooler than Steve McQueen? Only the coolest actor of our age - Chris Prattington
Batman Returns fucking slaps.

Yeah I got halfway through season 2 then just stopped watching. Can't remember why
I finished it the ending is great! Defo recommend finishing it it’s on star Disney Plus
So glad you guys love Snake Eyes
Rewatch the dark knight rises. It’s better as a movie than 89 and BVS by miles 😂
James you should have reminded Mason about Lex Luthor mannerisms in BvS. I wonder if he would still rate it over DKRises
This is why I like Mondays again.
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.
Spielberg directed Duel which is one big car chase.
You didn't bring back the . . sad Michael Caine . . . breaking down bit?
viggo mortensen is the coolest, baby!
Kilmer is an underrated Wayne.
