Batman has flown beyond the pages of his comic book beginnings to become one of film’s most recognizable heroes. The DC character has starred in over a dozen feature-lengthed movies over the past 60 years, his cape and cowl having changed hands from one A-list actor-director team to the next. The Caped Crusader currently resides with director Matt Reeves and actor Robert Pattinson, who are preparing a sequel to their excellent 2022 crime thriller, The Batman.
For those looking to watch or rewatch the films as we await The Batman Part II, we’ve created this guide for where you can watch all the Batman movies online right now.
