All five Batman films are from two franchises. Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin (The latter two don't exist in my opinion) are from one franchise.Originally Posted by John_912
Batman Begins is an entirely new franchise which originally intended to have three movies. Why the second two didn't get made is beyond me. As evidince, I quote that IMDB had listed a sequel to Batman Begins and the countless continuity errors between the orginal four and this movie.
That being said, since the Schumacher (I don't care if I spelled that right) Batman films don't exist to me (I can deny the existance of a fiction work. That's what's so great about fiction), that leaves me with the Burton Batman pictures and Batman Begins against the Spider-Man franchise. I have to go with Batman. They're both good and I own the Batman films and the first two Spider-Man films, which should show you that I like both.
Burton's Batman was dark with subtle dark humor where it belonged. Schumacher's Batman was light and inappropriately funny. Especially the last one where Geroge Cloony played Adam West's Batman where he should have been playing the Batman that Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer before him played.
Not that it matters since those last two of that franchise don't exist to me.
