Seeing this three times is definitely enough, still good though
I did a video ranking the 13 Batman movies I watched this month!

Batman & Robin 1997
Pros: ass shots, production design, Bat credit card, Mr. Freeze speaks only in puns, Uma Thurman, BAT NIPPLES
Cons: everything else
Camp lightning doesn’t strike twice😔☝🏼

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016
Very flawed but I do think the seething hatred is hyperbolic. This is such a massive swing, and I genuinely respect Zack Snyder for taking it. Its implications are heavy, and it does pretty well until it crumbles under the weight of its own message in a big way. Snyder repeatedly tries to bend these characters to his will rather than adapt to the moral fabric of superheroes themselves. Sometimes it’s refreshing, or even moving - here, it kind of leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.

Batman Forever 1995
Are you people crazy?! This movie fucking rocks. This ran so Sharkboy and Lava Girl could walk. This invented the word yassified. And it looked good while doing it. It’s a camp relic. Something in the earth shifted when Joel Schumacher did this
Also Val Kilmer is an underrated Batman…

The Dark Knight Rises 2012
This is Nolan’s most nonsensical film, and it’s not even a Batman film for most of the runtime. It’s ridiculous. It’s a mess.
But it’s our mess :) and in the hands of a less capable mind it would probably be the worst film ever made. There are things that are bad here, but sometimes it’s operating at a level in the genre that’s so high, Marvel can’t even see it yet. You kind of have to admire how it shuffles…

Batman Returns 1992
I thought I hadn’t seen any of this film before, but once I saw the opening sequence of the Penguin floating down that river, I knew I had when I was really little. It surfaced a weird memory of me being curiously engrossed by such a sticky, mythical origin story that gave me the creeps as much as it enchanted me.
That’s my favorite kind of film moment, and my favorite thing about the Burton movies. I don’t think Tim…

Batman 1989
This one was okay! Jack Nicholson as Joker is inspired, like wow. I love that he’s putting on makeup to look normal as opposed to the other way around - you’d think that wouldn’t be as disturbing but somehow it is. Also spooky how he compares himself to Vicki saying they’re both artists. One of the most terrifying villain tropes is confronting what we have in common with them, but his deranged perception makes it even more unsettling. I like…

The Dark Knight 2008
Some men just want to watch the world burn
I simply can’t give this five stars because Christopher Nolan my beloved needs to fix his exposition problem. But there’s so much here that’s unfathomably good. Michael Caine will always be the best Alfred❤️

The Batman 2022
It’s the freakin’ bat!
Video is up, but where to even begin about such a behemoth of a film. I’m gonna need some rewatches. But, it’s very good.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 1993
Impressive that this is as damning as it is with a PG rating and 1:16 runtime. Mark Hamill as The Joker elevates it to a whole other level. He is just the best.
