Though I enjoyed Anne Hathaway's take as Catwoman, even she could not put
the Dark Knight Rises into positive numbers.

Batman: The Movie 1966 I would have ranked in between The Dark Knight & Batman Returns.
I picked Forever because it's the only one of those 9 films with Riddler, and the only one with a Robin origin story. It was also the first movie to show a glimpse of Arkham Asylum, the first to show a deeper look at Bruce's psychology and childhood (which albeit was later done better in Batman Begins). It's really like the first film that makes an attempt to understand the comic book character, whereas in Burton's movie he's a pulp vigilante who goes in for revenge and barely manages to get the approval of Gotham's public. Batman Forever steered Batman in a good direction - only for the sequel, Batman & Robin, to completely go full reverse with a cheap imitation of 1966 Batman - which then led to Nolan bringing it back in the right direction again - only for the DCEU to make Batman as homicidal and unintelligent as ever (so far).
I put Suicide Squad last obviously because Batman is in it for 2 minutes. There are short films that accomplished more with Batman than Suicide Squad did (Batman: Dead End for example).
#1 Batman 1989 (I love this movie)
#2 Batman Returns (Nothing like the source material but a visually stunning movie and I love all the characters)
#3 Suicide Squad (I don't count this as a Batman movie but this was a hell of a lot of fun!)
#4 The Dark Knight (Loved this when it first came out but the more I watch it, the less I like it)
#5 Batman Forever (Not a great movie but a great kids movie and the nostalgia factor is off the roof for me with this one!)
#6 BVS (A pretty stupid movie imo but with some entertaining parts, great visuals and nice music. It has a great atmosphere... whenever Lex isn't around)
#7 Batman Begins (I respect aspects of this movie and acknowledge it has some great things in it, but like TDK, the more I watched it, the less I liked it)
#8 Batman & Robin (The worst of them all, but depending on mood and company, can have the 'so bad its good' factor)
#9 The Dark Knight Rises (The worst cinema experience for me in recent memory. Say how well made this movie was all you want, I just found the entire thing dull and boring. While I acknowledge it is a miles ahead movie than Batman & Robin, I can at least enjoy B&R in a so bad its good manner from time to time. TDKR I'm fairly confident I will never watch again... even up to now, I've only ever seen it once)

Someones a bit of a drama queen.
More so than Batman V Superman? I can't believe that, not in the slightest.
