Honorable Mentions:
- Lego Batman: A great Batman film that we exclude from the list due to its style. It is funny and respectfully mocks the Batman mythos (IMDb: 7.3 with over 189,000 ratings)
- Batman Ninja: Batman Ninja is like Batman living in an anime world. The action is absurd, exaggerated, and quite colorful. (IMDb: 5.6 with over 23,800 ratings)
- Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: As the name suggests, the Dark Knight meets the legendary turtles here. But it’s not just the heroes teaming up. (IMDb: 7.1 with over 13,000 reviews)
10. Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero
- Release year: 1998
Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero takes place in the universe of the popular animated series of the Dark Knight, which aired between 1992 and 1995. As the title suggests, Batman must confront his old adversary Mr. Freeze in the film.
