Every DC Comics Theatrical Movie, Ranked From Worst To Best

#9 Batman (1989)

Tim Burton’s first attempt to bring a more contemporary Batman to the big screen was actually criticized during its time for being too dark, something today’s fans certainly take for granted. To be fair, a better criticism is that the film typically prioritizes its style over any real substance pertaining to the plot, as well as Nicholson’s Joker over the somewhat less intriguing Bruce Wayne, despite Keaton’s revelatory take on the role that was done far better in the sequel.
