It's that time again: Rank the live-action Batman movies

[acri1]

Not counting anything animated, there have been 10 Batman movies -

Batman 66
Batman 89
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman v Superman
The Batman

How are we ranking them now that "The Batman" has dropped? At the moment I'd say -

The Dark Knight
The Batman
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman 89
Batman v Superman
Batman Returns
Batman 66
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin

Kilmer seemed more comfortable with the role in Forever and it led to a better watch. Ultimately, the scripts of those movies were all terrible so they can rotate around.

The campy feel of the movie also helped.
