This is coming from the movies I've personally seen.
1/2 (dead even). Mask of Phantasm, Batman 89
3. Returns
4. Sub-Zero
5/6 (dead even). Dark Knight, Begins (Only placing them in this rank because of cinematography issues)
7. Forever
8. Batman and Robin
Broken system =/= Gameplay.
Can't play games with a broke system.

- The Dark Knight
- Mask of the Phantasm
- Batman Begins
- Batman (1989)
- Batman Forever
- Batman Returns
- Batman and Robin
Those first three are pretty much on par with each other, competing for the top spot depending on the day. The rest of them are pretty much background noise.

I haven't yet seen The Mask of the Phantasm, but I am uberhyped to do so, having just discovered the brilliance of Batman: The Animated Series. I think Batman: The Animated Series is the best portrayal of Batman I've ever seen, and the best representation of the nature of the character. As a result, MOTP, which is essentially a spin-off film, will most likely shoot to the top of this list.

Well TDK and BB are like the comics. And MOTP is like the comics. Batman and Batman Returns are NOTHING like the comics. So you might not like it.

I've never read the comics, so I don't have the comics to go by when comparing the films. I just think that the animated series and Burton's Batman films better convey Batman as a character and the world of Gotham as a dark and morbid fantasy land. In Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, there is no essence of fantasy or any real darkness, so I find them fundamentally empty and devoid of emotion.

Wowi don't even think its possible to find character in characterless films and not find character in character driven films. But you did it so I tip my hat to you.

Right, I myself didn't care that much for either Begins or Dark Knight, but I love Phantasm (and am on the hunt for a Return of the Joker uncut edition). I'd say the film is only different from the Animated Series in two manners.
- There is more focus on Bruce Wayne's 'normal' persona in the film than the series. It focuses rather a lot on what made Bruce become the Caped Crusader.
- Joker is allowed to be a bit more like his mainstream comic counterpart in the sense that he has more freedom to kill people, which couldn't be shown on the series.
Yes, it's similar in tone to the comics and contains several story elements inspired by Year Two.
