Serious Series of Utmost Importance: The Series

Batfleck v Baleman: Dawn of Pattinson We go through the live action Batmen, and some of the Jokers, to determine who was the best, who was the worst, and if Batman is inherently immoral for refusing to kill the Joker and beating up the mentally ill.

Some of those are made up but are you 100% sure which ones?
