I'm sure this has been done many times on here but the Avengers vs Batman thread got me thinking about ranking them. I'm including the animated versions I've seen and am including the animated show, I never watched much of the Adam West show.
So this is my ranking, from most to least best.

The Dark Knight
Batman (1989)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
The Dark Knight Rises
Batman Returns
Batman: The Animated Series
Batman Begins
Batman Forever
Batman Beyond
Batman And Mr. Freeze: Subzero
Batman and Robin

Feel free to include in your rankings any of the iterations I have not seen.

Batman: The Animated Series
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Batman Returns (just a personal preference for some reason)
Batman 89
The Dark Knight Rises
Mask of the Phantasm (the only reason this is low is because I haven't seen it in a long time)
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin

Haven't seen enough of the other two.

Dude, TAS was awesome, and surprisingly dark for a kid's show.

I miss the days when kids were provided with stimulating cartoons like it, Johnny Quest also comes to mind. The cartoons I see these days seem like they are made for autistic people. Everything's just talking anthropomorphic colorful blobs. When did we start underestimating the maturity of children 7-12 years old?

Phineas and Ferb and Adventure time are still holding it down for the smart kids at least.

You are missing a few animated:

Son of Batman
Robin vs Batman
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns


There are also a few Batman/Superman combos.

Christ on a pony...

The Batman and Robin show from the 60's deserves far better than to only be mentioned by the board troll.

Begins, TAS, and Batman(89) all outrank it for sure but that show was way to entertaining, in a good way, to go unmentioned.

The shocked face was for it being so low. It's the best rendition of Batman not on a page by a pretty large margin (as good as others are). It's also better than some runs of Batman on the page. I always thought TAS gave us the Bat/Bruce that were really intended from the start. He's the most well-rounded take on Batman out there.
