Most Batman fans I've spoken to already have an answer prepared if you ask which series of Batman movies their favourite was, whether the early films and serials (said no-one ever), the Burton/Schumacher collection, or the Chris Nolan reboot.

However, if you had to pick a single favourite Batman movie, which would it be and why?
 
Never really been a huge Batman fan so I can't tell you which one it was, but I quite enjoyed when Val kilmer played the role.

Also, I voted for Dark Knight as I just loved it. The setting and the lead protagonist. Was simply brilliant.
 
Tim Burton's Batman Returns all the way!
Danny deVito playing the Penguin was superb.

Also the signature Burton under/over saturation makes the setting rather grim (not just dark like the newer movies).

Best comedy has to be Batman and Robin with Arnold making lame puns as Mr. Freeze :p
 
I honestly can't think of a better release than Dark Knight.

Heath Ledger just made the Joker become something else, the play off between the cast was exceptional and the movie never reaches the point of feeling old. I would love a Joker plushie!

Couldn't have put it better... Dark Knight redefined the whole comic book movie genre with its dark and more adult orientated style. Heath Ledger was unbelievable in the role...
 
Someone actually votes for Batman and Robin?? :confused:

Going with The Dark Knight myself. It was by far the best one from the list provided
 
They all have their flaws. Clooney made the best batman, however the batsuit in the Christopher Nolan series is the better and more realistic of them all. The Tim Burton era batmobile is the best and closest the the original idea of the batmobile. I'm torn between the Nolan gritty darkness vs the Tim Burton feel, essentially Burton got the Gotham setting correct, but Nolan got the tortured broken hero Batman correct. The Heath as Joker is fantastic, but it feels a little over the top as to the slightly more believable Nicholson Joker. Michael Caine was the perfect Alfred. Anne Hathaway the best catwoman.

What every single director and scriptwriter has got wrong (in my opinion) is the role of Batman. He is a sadistic, vengeful character, essentially an anti-hero. Batman is physical, brutal and ruthless.
 
Loved The Dark Knight Rises Heath ledger just owned The Joker roll and i don't think there will be a better one ever again. Bane was a let down in the third one :( But if your a batman fan You liked all of them they jsut got better with time cept for the clooney ones :p
 
The Dark knight, it was just on another level compared to other comic book based movies, it set a standard that alot of superhero movies are still trying to beat, if you compare the avengers movie that made more money in total, but the dark knight is a much better movie.
 
Has to be Dark Knight for me, really just came together well, and obviously had the best performance of the Joker that there ever will be.
 
It was really awesome and I look forward to watching it again. Also, my PC looks like Bain (from the front). :D

I still disagree, Nicholson made a more true to the source material Joker, where Ledger's character seems more removed from the source material. The Bale backstory seems to completely ignore Batman canon in respects to the Joker's origin. What the Bale version of the Joker also misses is the typical Joker equipment like his playing cards, exploding cigars, his acid spray fake flower, etc...

OK I agree it is different from the original canon, however the whole reboot changed a lot of things. Hence the updated look into it which pulled so many new fans. Sadly the die hard comic fans will see a lot of changes to canon / characters etc as the reboots keep coming.

True, the new reboot changed a lot of things, namely Batman, the batmobile, Batman's origin story, all the villians, the backstory of the villians. Hell Christian Bale could have changed Gotham to a different name, renamed Batman to anything else including renaming all the villains and the movies would still be good on their own. However I cannot regard the Bale reboot as Batman canon
 
The Dark Knight for me. Recently watched the trilogy again and it still stands out between the other two. And like plenty others here mentioned, let us not even go to the atrocity that was Batman & Robin...
 
I'd have to go with Dark Knight too. Any of the last 3 Batman movies really. I'm not really into comic books so don't really care how the movies stick with the original comics. The only issue I have is that they made it a bloody trilogy. There were so much scope for at least one or two more movies, but because it was a trilogy, no more.

I used to like the older Batman movies when I was a kid. However, they had repeats of it on Dstv a little while ago so I rewatched all of them... and it was pretty hard to watch.
 
Dark Knight - I think the Joker is what made that movie stand out more than the rest.
