Where to start with Batman

There is no single Batman to start with, which is the honest answer and the reason this page exists. Pick the one you want and the rest will still be here. If you only ever watch one thing on this page, make it the 1992 Animated Series.

  1. 1
    Batman (1966) Batman

    If you want the one that made him famous. It is a comedy and it knows it. Three seasons, and the feature sits between the first and second.

  2. 2
    Batman: The Animated Series (1992) Batman: The Animated Series

    If you want the best one. It assumes nothing, the episodes stand alone, and it is where this version of the Joker, Mr Freeze and Harley Quinn come from. Harley was invented for it.

  3. 3
    The Batman (2004) The Batman

    If you want the one after that and would rather not start over in the same universe. Five seasons, unconnected to the 1992 series.

  4. 4
    Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008) Batman: The Brave and the Bold

    If the dark ones are not what you are after. It is the funny one, and every episode introduces somebody else from the DC shelf.

  5. 5
    Batman: Caped Crusader (2024) Batman: Caped Crusader

    If you want the newest. Same people as 1992, moved to the 1940s, and it assumes nothing.

Then what? The films live on their own pages: the 1966 feature on the Batman '66 page, the Burton and Schumacher four together, and the Matt Reeves films with The Penguin. The animated films are on the DC Universe Animated Original Movies page, which has more Batman on it than anything else.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
