We actually do see the Phantasm again in the Justice Unlimited series episode Epilogue which ends the Batman character flashing to the future showing Batman Beyond joining the JL team we see Phantasm as she's older now working for Amanda Waller in one sequence lol.

[@andylowe2203]

😅Love your content mate keep up the good work. 1 thing i noticed in this list though is you actually dont mention the name of your favourite batman movie lol. You mention it stars robert pattison and that its the newest batman movie but not the title of said movie lol

[@JoeGrizz1y]

I just realized that when Batman beats criminals, it’s always to learn something from them that ties to the villain or the plot. But the fact that this film opens with him attacking criminals that have no ties to anything was the thing that made me realize this Batman was going to be amazing.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

I loved how Matt Reeves had the camera linger on the shadows at the beginning, he portrayed Batman as some sort of monster that everyone feared and no one should fuck with!

The one scene in The Batman that became my favorite scene in the film, especially on a second viewing, is the Colson scene.

[@TheMarine316]

I’m the same way, when people declare the newest film “the best” I tend to ask, just outta the theater are we… but damn I agree, after I watched The Batman I went home and rewatched the dark knight, while still a masterpiece to me things about the film that bugged me The Batman perfected. so to me The Batman is my favorite Batman film.

[@jobangharekhan2601]

The Batman is a MASTERPIECE

[@S.A.N.503]

I genuinely couldn't agree more. The Batman is, for me, the greatest Batman film ever made. It feels like Matt Reeves crawled inside my head, and made a Batman film specifically for me. I know a lot of people feel like that. I've seen it 4 times, and I love it more each time. I didn't think that was possible after the first viewing. Absolutely brilliant film. BY FAR my favorite.

[@Dom_510]

I feel the exact same way. Every single time I read the comics, this was the movie I envisioned. I honestly think it’s a perfect movie. I have zero complaints and I can’t wait to see it again.

[@TanWam]

Agreed, it's so fucking good and I constantly had chills throughout, seeing it for the 3rd time Friday

[@dahannes6739]

You only think that because you just watched the film recently. Sadly it has a lot of continuity and plot errors. It's always like that, the movie you watched the latest you think it's the best movie ever. Give it some time and re-watch The Dark Knight or Batman Returns, you'll change your mind really quick

Very good video. Love seeing people's thoughts on these multiple iterations of Batman, whether older, or modern. Just a great thing.

[@DemonKingNemo]

It's funny how everyone shit on Robert when the casting was announced. I always argued with people online that everyone did the same with Ben's announcement and everyone now loves him. Everyone looks like a fool yet again. I cannot wait for the sequel. I hope they don't rush it though and spend a good 4 years like the Nolan movies did. I agree with your list here pretty much to a Tee. The new film surprised me in such a wonderful way

[@renegadehero7393]

Great ranking. I think honestly, The Batman might be my favorite Batman film too, just the way it tells the story and the arc Bruce has is so good. Batman Begins I think is my second favorite too, the only problem I have with it is the editing felt really off to me in parts. I know it was straight to DVD, but I wanna shout out Batman Under the Red Hood. I freaking love that movie, great story. Looking forward to all the rankings you have coming.

[@Ruben-ui3yu]

I don’t know what I’m missing with the Batman. I was so excited to see it and I love film noir. Seven and zodiac are some of my favourite movies so this film should have been made for me but I thought it was okay. Doesn’t come close to the dark knight for me.

[@yongyutang2453]

Been watching your videos for a couple of months now and finally subscribed. I liked your explanations for why you ranked the Batman movies the way you did. My list was a little different but quite similar. You mentioned wishing to see more of the Phantasm. I’m not sure if you watched it but they brought the Mask of the Phantasm version of her back in the Justice League Unlimited episode “Epilogue”. Not a big role but maybe you’d like to watch it.

[@coreycarnegie5990]

Top 3 are Returns, 2022 and Mask of the Phantasm in no particular order 😃 Awesome video Cody! Been loving all the Batman content😁

[@Ceasar_Dragon]

Having just watched the movie a second time to make sure I didn't have dust in my eyes, I've found it's still mind boggling fantastic. And I hope if this does become its own trilogy set or however many, that the next one may be Court of Owls/Dick Grayson introduction as an actual kid? Maybe not, but teen probably. Crazy idea?

[@eastsidereviews727]

Enjoyed the breakdown brother! I am trying my best to erase the 2017 Justice League from my memory and when I ranked the movie I didn't even mention it. I see so much potential for what Reeves and the crew are doing, especially with this Batman discovering what it means to be Bruce Wayne.

[@dong.corleone]

Nice, I’ve only seen the live action films and LEGO Batman. However, the only reason why Begins is a bit lower in my ranking list for me is because Katie Holmes’s performance almost kills that movie for me, kinda like how Leach says Cary Elwes’s performance in SAW almost ruined the first film for him.

I really do need to catch The Batman again, i really enjoyed it the first time through. Though, i did feel the pacing dipped very briefly for me (cant remember when exactly, i just recall thinking 'Dang this movie is pretty long'). Really did love the batmobile and the characters, the dry humor was done very well. Think my only real complaint was the whole "Bruce and Batman dont seem like different entities" but that could easily be something he grows into in later films. and some of the riddles took me a second to connect to the solution even when it was explained

I was born in 1989, so i can relate to a lot of your views on cinema as a whole Cody Leach. Batman:The Animated Series is an ALL TiME CLASSiC cartoon series. I remember coming home everyday from kindergarten(at this time is when BTAS was being debuted/aired live), 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade(the show ended, so then by)4th grade & 5th grade, I was binge watching the reruns that would air on TV. I was 4 years old when I first watched 1989 Michael Keaton‘s Batman and then I watched it again at 5yrs old, when I was in kindergarten, at this age is when I could really understand what was going on and i actually remembered the movie(instead of in bits & pieces where it felt like me watching 1989 Batman was a 4yr olds FEVER DREAM)I loved it even more and when Batman Returns came out in 1992(🤗I loved this one more than the 1st one) I love everything Batman (except) those Lego’s movies, I’ve never been a Lego’s fan, I never played with Lego’s, Lego’s wasn’t my “go to toy” as a kid, so all Batman Movies are amazing to me, I’ve seen them all, but the worst of them all(to me personally) was ALL of the -LEGO Batman Movies- I’ll ALWAYS pick 1997’s Batman & Robin over -2017’s The LEGO Batman Movie- 2008 The Dark Knight( I was 19yrs old) is the 1st Batman movie that I have experienced in the theatre, on opening week, of this movie, & that was the BEST movie experience ever! The Dark Knight will ALWAYS be my #1. It’s even more of a heart tugging movie & date for me(July 18, 2008) because 7 days later on July 25, 2008 at 3:00 am, my family & I would get a call that my cousin Willie Ray Adams Jr. had been murdered in his apartment, which was next door, to the house, that my Aunt Denise came home to after giving birth to my cousin Willie Ray back in 1970-something, so I lost my cousin, & one of my favorite actors(Heath Ledger) since 10 things I hate about you within the same year & recently the same with my uncle(March 8,2018) & my grandmother(August 2018) dying in the same year (2018) & then losing my dad on March 5, 2021.

I don’t even wanna post my list because it couldn’t be any further from yours lol. But screw it let’s go. 1. The Dark Knight Rises- One of my favorite movies of all time. Bane is an absolute beast. 2. The Dark Knight- Another one of my favorite movies of all time. 3. Batman 89- Fantastic film. Always loved this one. 4. Joker- Fantastic origin story, even though it wasn’t really the joker that we all know and love. 5. Batman Forever- Not sorry at all, I grew up with these films and I love them. Two Face and Riddler are an absolute blast to watch. Very fun movie. 6. Batman and Robin- Yep, I put this one this high up. This movie is ridiculously stupid, but that’s why I love it. I can quote the lines in this movie all day. So hilarious. The combination of nostalgia and humor makes it a very fun time for me 7. Batman Returns- Always my least favorite of the 90s era, it’s still a good movie. Michelle as Catwoman is one of the best villains on this list in my opinion. 8. Batman Begins- I like it but I don’t love it. Begins was always a little boring to me. And it did the scarecrow a little dirty. I also don’t like the back and forth through time stuff. I enjoy it but it’s not one of my favorites. 9. The Batman- Gotta be honest, this isn’t my kind of Batman movie. I respect it, but it just didn’t do it for me. I recognize it was a great film, but it was just a little too much. I like a dark Batman, but this was just so slow and so long. At one point I forgot I was watching a Batman movie. I think it’s awesome that so many people love this movie, but this Batman and this world is just not for me. 10. Batman v Superman- Not a fan. I watched it once and have no desire to watch it again. Meh. 11. Justice League- I don’t like this movie at all. 12. Batman 66- Not my thing whatsoever. 13. Catwoman- Lol 14. Suicide Squad- Literally my least favorite movie of all time.

I agree, The Batman is just a masterpiece and it's my favorite interpretation of the character. Now it could be argued that the Dark Knight is better, but The Batman is the best 'Batman' film due to how accurate it all is to the modern day Batman. Same with Begins. The Dark Knight is the better movie, but Begins felt more like Batman to me.

But Nolan took the basis of characters and weaved them into his True Crime story. Nolan has never once said that he took inspiration from The Long Halloween and any interview.

Not to sound weird or anything, but I actually love your hair lol I’m jealous 😂 I’m a fan of the no beanie every now and then! 🤘🏽

[@BryanLomax]

Shocked you had Returns above Batman 89. Puts a smile on my face though.

[@CodyLeachYT]

Nobody was more shocked than me.

I feel like the new Batman is almost like a version of the Arkham series it’s amazing visually and plot wise it’s amazing

[@Kylehoot]

I really like this ranking. If I was to do a ranking of batman introductions, The Batman is number one by far, I've watched Michael Keaton say I'm batman so many times and I love Bruce's journey and batman begins to be batman, this tops those easily.

I can't remember where I read it, but apparently The Jokers trial was supposed to be another subplot in "Rises". I know that doesn't make a lot of sense since the film takes place eight years later. It's possible the whole idea changed after Ledger passed.

Great ranking

[@RobbieVanGone]

I'd watch all your rankings; he suits, mobile, grappler guns etc. This was everything I wanted in a BATMAN movie!! I was unsure to say it was my favorite but after second viewing with a terrible theater crowd, I can say BATMAN 2022 is my favorite as well.

[@Sentient_Zee]

It’s good to see I’m not the only one who thinks Batman Begins is a better film than The Dark Knight. I’ll give it to Heath Ledger as the best villain of the trilogy hands down but Begins just nails it for me. As for The Batman, I’d personally put it in third. Great film and a shockingly good turn from Robert Pattinson as Batman(he’d have to be since he’s Batman for about 90% of the runtime). Definitely my second favourite Batman after Bale.

My list with all these movies- 13. Josstis league 12. Batman and Robin 11. Batman 66 ( I hate Batman and Robin I haven't watch this movie in years and the only reason it's lower than 66 is because I can watch it and see it as a product of it's time) 10. The lego Batman movie 9. Batman Forever 8. Batman Returns 7. Batman vs Superman (Ultimate Edition) 6. The Dark knight rises 5. Batman 89 ( Nostalgic for me) 4. Batman Mask of the phantasm 3. Zack snyders justice league 2. Batman begins/ The Batman (Need to watch The Batman again to decide) 1. The Dark Knight ( My favourite Movie of all time so it's hard to beat) The top 5 movies are masterpices to me. Great list Cody.

[@KateTsingtao]

Agreed with you. The Batman is a cinematography perfection. I watched it 3X.

[@joshg8545]

I have seen The Batman 5 times I love it.
