Where to watch all of the Batman live-action movies

Batman has taken on many faces, and been in many movies, but on this Batman Day, where can you watch all of them?

Despite never having any superpowers – unless you count being a billionaire – Batman has managed to remain one of the most iconic DC superheroes out there, if not the most.

Because of his popularity, Batman has managed to have multiple live-action iterations. The torch has been passed to and from the hands of many a notable actor, including Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and most recently Robert Pattinson.

Now, you may be wanting to watch a couple of these Batman movies, if not all of them. We’ve already discussed what order you should watch the films here at Dexerto, but where exactly can you watch them, or even stream them? Well read on, and we’ll explain all.

How many live-action Batman movies are there?

In total, there are 10 official Batman movies – though The Batman 2 is set to be on its way. The list of Batman movies is as follows:

• Batman: The Movie (1966)
• Batman (1989)
