I'd bring up Rises to #6, but otherwise the list looks solid. Definitely not oof territory.
That said, the disrespect for TDKR is crazy to me. Don't get me wrong, there are a couple goofy plot devices and acting... but overall, movie has ridiculously high production values, killer set pieces, massive scope, and a bumping soundtrack with a villain that somehow holds its own against the previous movie's generational performance Joker.
TDKR is a great film, full stop.
Mask of the Phantasm was released in theaters, and they weren't counting anything that was DTV, which basically eliminates all of the other animated films.I would move 1989 to number 2, Forever a little lower, and maybe 1966 a little higher because it's fuckin hilarious, but it's not a bad list.
Also I'm not entirely sure why only one animated movie is on there. Did it get a theater release? I understand cutting the list down, but why is it just one?
Heavy disagree, especially with animated movies.
1. Mask Of The Phantasm
2. Under The Red Hood
3. The Batman
4. Batman Returns
5. Batman
6. Lego Batman
7. The Dark Knight
8. Batman Begins
9. Batman: Bad Blood
10. Batman vs Dracula
That makes sense, but I still think if we're counting animated movies, we're taking all of them!
It's the GTA4 of Batman movies for me.

That's awesome, I wish I caught it when it was there.According to Wikipedia, MotP is the only animated Batman movie to be released in theaters (at least for its original release; I'm sure some theater somewhere has done a viewing of other ones).
