#96 - Chicks Love The Car
The Moment: Val Kilmer’s Batman is hardly the seminal incarnation, but he does get the odd cool line. As Nicole Kidman’s Dr. Chase Meridian begins to put the moves on the Bat, he responds in typically deadpan fashion. “It’s the car, right? Chicks love the car.”
Why It’s Great: Batman might not crack many smiles, but he’s allowed to fire off a zinger or two every once in a while.
#90 - Bomb Disposal
The Moment: Classic Adam West clowning from the 1966 Batman movie, in which the Caped Crusader attempts to dispose of a bomb without harming any bystanders. Or indeed, any ducks.
Why It’s Great: Okay, so we’re not really suggesting the original Batman movie is a patch on any of Nolan’s efforts, but we’ve still got a lot of love for a scene that involves the Bat lamenting, “some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb!”
#45 - I Threw A Rock
The Moment: A piece of comedy gold from The Animated Series, where assorted supervillains have gathered for a good old chat about Batman. When Joker invites the room to tell their best “I nearly killed Batman” story, Killer Croc’s tale of how he threw a rock at him is met with widespread disdain...
Why It’s Great: Poor old Croc doesn’t command much respect from the rest of the criminal fraternity. The Joker looks particularly unimpressed.
#13 - Shocking End
The Moment: The Joker meets his maker in Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker, when young Timmy Drake finally snaps, sending Mr. J crashing through a tank of water, where he inadvertently electrocutes himself.
Why It’s Great: For an animated film, its a startling violent conclusion. Timmy’s deranged laughter only adds to the scene’s eerie vibe.
#8 - Breaking The Bat
The Moment: Batman meets his physical match in the form of the monstrous Bane, who snaps the Bat’s spine like a twig in the seminal Knightfall story arc. Will history repeat itself in The Dark Knight Rises?
Why It’s Great: After so many pows and ker-thwacks, it comes as a real shock when Batman is physically overpowered by an opponent. And in such savage style, as well...
#3 - I'm Batman
The Moment: Michael Keaton’s Batman dangles a helpless crook over the side of a building before encouraging him to tell his friends all about him. “What are you?” whimpers the stricken goon. “I’m Batman” comes the reply.
Why It’s Great: Keaton’s Batman is cool, calm and collected, rarely raising his voice, rarely seeming flustered. Its a different approach from Christian Bale’s, but one that works well on its own merits.
