List of animated Batman films

Batman is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Outside of comics, the character's first appearance was in the 15-chapter theatrical serial Batman (1943), with Tim Burton's Batman (1989) marking his first big-budget film. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) mark the first animated film to star Batman; part of Batman: The Animated Series (1992–1995), Mask of the Phantasm was initially set for a direct-to-video release, before Warner Bros. gave it a theatrical release. Since then, Warner Bros. has released multiple films starring Batman direct-to-video, through digital storefronts and platforms, or on television.

The Lego Batman Movie (2017) is the only Batman film besides Mask of the Phantasm to receive a wide theatrical release. Other films like Batman: The Killing Joke (2016), Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016), Batman and Harley Quinn (2017), and Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires (2025) received a limited release in theaters.
