Top 7 Batman Animated Films

Written By Jason Lockard

Bruce Wayne also known as Batman debuted in May 1939. It was just a short 4 years later in 1943 that the character would debut in the big screen in a 15 chapter serial. Since that Batman was been radio, tv and movies continuously. Batman is one of the comic book characters who have seen some of the most adaptions onto film.

As of March 4th 2022 we have seen yet another film adaption. Starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Colin Farrell as Ozwald Cobblepot/Penguin. The film was written and directed by Matt Reeves, and as of this writing the film The Batman is on track to be a box office smash.
