"It's a bad film." It's true that there are very few filmmaking choices here that could be considered defensible - from the misuse of great characters like Poison Ivy and Batgirl, to the shonky production values, to the baffling repeated close-ups of leather codpieces and the much-maligned Bat-nipples. "I was bad in it," Clooney told Empire bluntly in 2020. Today considered more of a punchline than an actual movie, Batman & Robin is widely agreed to be the worst of the cinematic Batmen by all who have seen it - most loudly and enthusiastically by the film's Bruce Wayne himself, George Clooney. From all-out masterpieces, to flawed favourites, to so-bad-it’s-brilliant cheese-fests, read through the best of the Bat – and find out where The Batman sits on the list. Everyone from Adam West, to Christian Bale, to George Clooney has donned the iconic cowl in that time – and the latest to join them is Robert Pattinson, suiting up in Matt Reeves’ reinvention of the mythology, The Batman.Īs Reeves’ film dominates the box office, Empire presents an updated edition of our definitive Batman movie ranking – totting up the very best of Bruce Wayne on the big screen, as voted for by members of Team Empire. DC’s crime-fighting vigilante-detective has been a big-screen mainstay for over 50 years, with varying incarnations of billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne and his nocturnal alter-ego reflecting the respective eras of their creation – psychedelic ‘60s silliness, gaudy ‘90s quip-fests, and super-serious contemporary blockbusters. Whether he’s beginning, returning, or – god forbid – and Robin-ing, Hollywood can’t get enough of Batman.
