OG Batman movie post:
So, for other folks who watch stupid superhero stuff, Rank! Those! Stupid! Batman movies!!! I don't expect everyone to have seen all the ones on my list but if you've seen any, share your lists in the thread. Or don't, jerk.
image
GTZ's favorite is Batman Begins. This is indisputable.
1. The Dark Knight
image
Classic. Iconic Joker, great adaptation of Two-Face. Batman's mythos in the Nolan trilogy took its most interesting turn with the ending with Batman's metaphorical sacrifice. It was the ultimate grounded approach at a Batman movie, finding perfect ways to integrate those comic book moments.
2. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
image
The only animated Batman movie to get a theatrical release is still one of the best. I'm huge into Batman: The Animated Series, and this movie is one of the best "entires" in that series and just one of the best takes on Batman in general.
3. Batman Returns
image
Completely off nostalgia alone. This was among my favorite movies as a kid and remains a favorite Christmas movie. Michael Keaton had great nuance, especially as Bruce Wayne. Danny DeVito's Penguin was as memorable as it was gross. It wasn't a particularly great movie and it hasn't aged well, but I'll always love it.
4. Batman Begins
image
Really dug the subtle, grounded approach of this movie - it was easily the most grounded of the Nolan movies. I'm a big fan of Ra's Al Ghul and, while I would have liked a legitimately immortal take on the character, Liam Neeson's man-in-the-shadows-creating-a-myth version was great for this universe.
5. Batman (1989)
http://www.therobots...
Another classic, the logo to this movie is etched into my nostalgia goggles for all-time. Nicholson's Joker is a legend at this point, and again, Keaton was fun as a straight-faced Batman.
6. The LEGO Batman Movie
image
Will Arnett as the voice of Batman rules. All the cameos, both voice-wise and character-wise, were great. It was a fun spoof on Batman movies in general, with things kids and adults could both like.
7. The Dark Knight Rises
image
Great way to top off the Nolan trilogy, but a little lesser than the other movies. I love Tom Hardy's Bane - even the voice. He came off sinister and brutal, and it was great to see Nolan so closely adapt the Knightfall stuff from the comics. That gets points alone. It did go a little long, and the third act was a little bit of a let down, but still a fun time.
8. Batman: The Movie
image
Like the LEGO Batman movie, this one is great for a few laughs. Adam West's dumbed-down "comic story" Batman was so much fun, and the colors of this movie were great. And then there's the bomb scene, which may be my single favorite Batman scene ever just for the sheer absurdity.
9. Man of Tomorrow (BvS fan edit)
image
You'll see where BvS actually ends up, but I dug this fan edit as it seamlessly meshed both Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. While a lot of the problems were still there (especially in the majority BvS section), I was in awe at how well the edits to make one epic Batman/Superman movie worked out - as well as the edits that did fix plot points.
10. Batman Forever
image
Underrated in my opinion, because a lot of people would rank this as far down as Batman & Robin which is an insult. This wasn't a great movie by any means, and Tommy Lee Jones' awful take on Two-Face was just a poor-man's Batman 89' Joker, but Jim Carrey as Riddler was cool and the Robin origin scene was fun. The ending was awful, Robin being a grown ass man was awful, and Kilmer's Batman was forgettable. But I still thought the movie was okay.
11. 1940's Batman serials
image
I'll just count both of the serialized theater series in one spot since they're decently obscure nowadays. These episodes were on TV on Christmas day when I was a kid, and I remember watching it from my Batman: The Animated Series tent that I got that morning. Fun to re-watch every now and then for that alone, but it's real awkward seeing some of the subject matter.
14. Batman & Robin
image
If this list were ranked for comedy, this may beat out both Batman '66 AND the LEGO Batman movie. But alas. Clooney was phoning it in completely, Robin was still an adult, Batgirl was cringey, Mr. Freeze was gosh darn perfect and the Poison Ivy/Bane duo were the worst.
13. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Tomorrow
image
This movie was awful. Affleck's Batman was just about the only thing I dug about it. But just the performance and look itself. The writing for Batman, besides Bruce Wayne's initial hesitance toward Superman, was pretty awful. Having him climb on a ceiling the first time we see him, his whole Martha schtick, his willingness to main (even if it was fun to watch).
14. Suicide Squad
image
Does this movie count? Mostly Batman villains, the Joker/Harley Quinn combo and a short Batman cameo. I'll count it, but the movie sucks so this entry pretty much just exists to reiterate that.

Yeah, I can get that. Tbh I didn't like it that much the first time I saw it. The sequels kinda helped to improve my opinion of it.

New topic, the long-awaited Top 10 Classic Rock Songs.
The way I'm gonna define this for the thread is rock music (any variation of rock music) released up to 1989. 1990 and on is a big fat DQ. There were just so many more acts and prominent artists, genres and sub-genres from the 90s-forward that I feel each decade deserves its own round.
Admittedly not a giant classic rock fan, however the classic rock acts I AM a fan of, I'm a BIG ol' fan of. So, my top 10 no significant order:
1. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - Bob Dylan
2. Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
3. This Will Be Our Year - The Zombies
4. Revolution - The Beatles
5. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
6. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
7. A Day in the Life - The Beatles
8. Silver Spring - Fleetwood Mac
9. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
10. The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Pink Floyd should prob be on there somewhere but whatev.

As everyone said, tough as heck. I didn't want to do it, but wth. Going to limit it to 1 song per band officially. Not 100% sure what "classic rock" is defined as. I assume pre-80's "rock" music? (a blend of genres really)
Hey Bulldog - Beatles (Revolution, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Saw Her Standing There, I Want You, Helter Skelter... so many excellent "rock" songs)
Paint it Black - Rolling Stones (really wanted to choose Sympathy for the Devil, but this intro is mind melting)
War Pigs - Black Sabbath
Black Betty - Ram Jam
House of the Rising Sun - Animals
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (too many to choose from, but it is what it is)
Blistered - Johnny Cash (Cocaine Blues, Folsom Prison, Get Rythm, etc. Blistered is underrated imo)
Fortunate Son - CCR
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (struggled calling this classic rock)
Life By the Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughn (Dude was a legend)
So many great bands omitted. So many great songs not mentioned. Would likely be vastly different in a few days. Struggled including some songs.. Not going to lie, I wanted to sneak STP in there. Weiland was a beast.

Man, no Thunderstruck? Unfortunate year to cut off on. But if you let it in, we get Alice in Chains and other such crap so I guess I get it. (I love AIC but it still feels weird to call it classic rock, feels post classic)

The only one of those that remind me of summer is The Sandlot for some reason. I love Jaws, and it definitely is a "summer" movie, but it doesn't remind me of summer for some reason. Same for Stand by Me. The only other movie I can think of that reminds me of summer is My Girl, but that was a downer.
