Swear To Me: The 10 Greatest Batman Movie Moments Ever

Few fictional characters have had as long and illustrious a history of film adaptations as Batman. Going right back to his cinematic debut in a 1943 movie serial, the Dark Knight has been portrayed as everything from a gritty, grounded figure to a gothic tragic hero to a LEGO comedy character. There have been some groan-inducing lows over that time, yes, but lots of dizzying highs as well. Hopefully, we'll get another one this year, when Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne teams up with the Justice League for the very first time on the big screen.

4) Warehouse Fight – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

It’s fair to say that Zack Snyder’s portrayal of Batman in Batman V Superman was controversial. Though Ben Affleck’s performance was widely acclaimed, Bats displayed an unusual thirst for blood throughout the movie. Whether that’s right for the character is up for debate, but it did result in the jaw-dropping warehouse fight scene.

This moment went a long way in convincing people that Ben Affleck’s version was the most formidable take on the Dark Knight yet seen in live-action. Certainly, few – if any – scenes in Batman’s long cinematic history have captured his ferocity and skill in a fight as well as this one. Here, we can plainly see the difference between Supes and Bats. Kal-El could have taken down these guys in a blink (or laser bolt) of an eye, but for Batman it takes effort, time and ingenuity – and is all the more impressive for it.

He might have been severely injured, probably paralyzed and possibly killed a shedload of nameless henchmen, but at least he looked cool while doing it.
