How to watch the Batman movies in chronological order

You can stream all Batman movies in the same order as their release date as each installment was released chronologically.

In almost every Batman movie so far, the story revolves around Bruce Wayne whose life changed forever after his parents got murdered in cold blood. While Wayne is a billionaire playboy by day, he becomes the vigilante known as Batman to protect Gotham City from all sorts of criminals. While he lacks superpowers, Batman is gifted with high intelligence, martial arts and advanced weapons and gadgets.

The Batman movies can additionally be divided into separate franchises considering they belong to different continuities and feature different actors playing Batman. 

How to watch Tim Burton’s Batman movies

Michael Keaton was the first cinematic Batman having played the part in two Gothic thrillers directed by Tim Burton: Batman and Batman Returns.

How to watch Joel Schumacher’s Batman movies

Joel Schumacher directed two Batman films, both of which are loosely connected to each other. While Batman Forever had Val Kilmer playing the Caped Crusader of Gotham, George Clooney portrayed the character in Batman and Robin. Batman’s sidekick Robin is played by Chris O’Donnell in both movies.

How to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy

Batman received a more mature and realistic reboot with Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan’s reboot series that starred Christian Bale as the Gotham hero.

The Dark Knight trilogy began with Batman Begins that traced the character’s origins and continued with The Dark Knight which featured an iconic performance by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker. The series ended with The Dark Knight Rises that pitted Batman against the supervillain Bane (Tom Hardy).

How to watch the DCEU Batman movies

After the Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros launched a shared universe for DC heroes with Ben Affleck playing Batman. The first DC Extended Universe movie to feature Batman was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that found the hero battling Superman. Affleck’s Batman had supporting appearances in future releases like Justice League and The Flash.
