* ''Film/{{The Batman|Serial}}'': Batman's film debut in 1943, a 15-chapter serial, served as the inspiration and cause of the 1960s show. It starred Creator/LewisWilson as Bruce Wayne / Batman, the first live-action incarnation of the character.
** ''Film/{{Batman and Robin|Serial}}'': The 1949 sequel 15-chapter serial. Robert Lowery replaced Lewis Wilson in the title role.
* ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'' (1966): TheMovie of the 60s TV show, starring Creator/AdamWest as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Catwoman [[LegionOfDoom team up]] to threaten world peace with a dehydrator that can turn humans into dust. The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder must stop them.
* ''Film/BatmanFilmSeries'' (1989-1997): Two mostly gothic noir/expressionist films, followed by two mostly campy NeonCity films.
** ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'' - Directed by Creator/TimBurton and starring Creator/MichaelKeaton. Batman must stop former mobster Jack Napier, who fell into a vat of chemicals and became the Joker, terrorizing Gotham City with his deadly laughing gas.
** ''Film/BatmanReturns'' - Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned. Batman faces off against the Penguin, Catwoman, and sleazy mogul Max Shreck.
** ''Film/BatmanForever'' - Directed by Creator/JoelSchumacher and starring Creator/ValKilmer. The Riddler and Two-Face team up to discover who Batman is. Batman teams up with circus orphan Dick "Robin" Grayson against them.

* ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' (2005-2012): A complete [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] of the film continuity, which was a rare occurrence in Hollywood at the time. Directed by Creator/ChristopherNolan and starring Creator/ChristianBale as Batman. Very much AdaptationDistillation.

He also appears as a FutureBadass in a [[BadFuture nightmarish future]].
** ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' sees him appear in cameos, putting some bad guys behind bars for Amanda Waller to pick up for her Task Force X project and furthering his quest to gather the Justice League in TheStinger. Said baddies include some of his RoguesGallery such as Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Killer Croc. The Joker also appears, on a mission of his own to bring Harley home.
** ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' sees Batman gathering, leading, and providing his tech to the eponymous Justice League for the first time on film to fight off the Apokoliptian New God Steppenwolf. Commissioner Gordon and his GCPD aide Crispus Allen also show up briefly.
