The Batman films probably weren't the worst ever but for me as a Batman fan I feel sick to my stomach looking at them because they really did my hero no justice whatsoever.
They turned him into a comedy superhero aimed at ten year olds and in turn killed the franchise for a good ten years. Warner Bros actually had a 5th movie in the works but they wouldn't go near it after the reaction from Batman & Robin.
Heres some quotes from the people who made the film:
Chris O Donnell (Robin) - "When I made Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. When I made Batman & Robin, I felt like I was making a toy commercial."
Mark S Reinhart (Author) - "The combination of Batman & Robin's terrible script, ridiculous costuming, garish sets, uninspired direction, etc. made the film into the appalling dump heap that it is"
George Clooney (Batman) - "I think we might have killed the franchise." and he also personally offered to refund the money of any fan he met who paid to see it.
Michael Ulsan (Executive Producer) - "In my estimation - you're not making movies, you're making two-hour infomercials for toys.[2] And that's sad. Because, if a filmmaker is allowed to just go out and make a great film, I believe you will sell toys anyway"
The Dark Knight, as a Batman fan yourself, I thought you of all people would be with me on this one.
I don't want to sit here defending every film that I put in my list, in depth, but I do think that The Daredevil and Hitcher are both terrible films and deserve their places in that list.
I'll add to my list on the first page later when I get a spare minute.
