Which Batman movies exist in YOUR mind?

[xiphias]

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.

I have seen some bits of the 1943 serial, and it's not bad.

Aside from that, which I don;t consider a movie because it's a serial, Batman and Batman Returns are the only two live action Batman movies. I might be willing to concede Batman Begins once I see it. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was quite good. I am noticing a distinct lack of the Batman Beyond movie, however.

Wasn't released to theaters, I didn't think. If I'm wrong, I'm more than happy to put "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" in.

I suspect he was referring to Batman Beyond: The Movie, but as the linked IMDb page shows, it was indeed never released in theatres.
