So, I was just talking to my cousin Mike, who stated that Batman Begins is the first Batman movie made.
I disagreed, and pointed to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and Mike conceded the point, changing his claim to "Batman Begins is the first live-action Batman movie.
But I was wondering: in your own personal brain, which of the following do YOU acknowledge the existence of?
The Batman: 1943 with Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft, a 15-episode Columbia serial.
Batman: 1966 with Adam West and Burt Ward ("Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb.")
Batman Fights Dracula: 1967 starring and directed by a bunch of people you've never heard of, somewhere in the Philippines
Batman: 1989 with Michael Keaton, directed by Tim Burton
Batman Returns: 1992 with Michael Keaton, directed by Tim Burton
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm: 1993, animated, with Kevin Conroy as Batman, directed by Bruce Timm, written by Paul Dini.
Batman Forever: 1995, Val Kilmer, directed by Joel Schumacher
Batman & Robin: 1997, George Clooney, directed by Joel Schumacher
Batman: Dead End: 2003, Clark Bartram as Batman, written and directed by Sandy Collora -- an eight-minute independent film someone put together
Batman Begins: 2005, Christian Bale, directed by Christopher Nolan
Note I'm leaving out a number of direct-to-video movies, 'cause this is about Batman shown in movie theaters.
