VOTD: 72 Years Of Batman Movies In 10 Minutes

Next year brings us a new Batman in the form of Ben Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But while the costume and Batmobile may be brand-new, Batfleck is really just the latest in a long, long line of Batmen. The Caped Crusader has been around for 76 years as of this spring, and he's been appearing in movies in various forms for 72 of them.

A new video runs through all seven decades of Batman movies in just 10 minutes, from the serials of the 1940s through the Adam West, Riggan Thomson Michael Keaton, and Christian Bale eras. Even Lego Batman shows up to the party eventually. Revisit seven decades of Batman movies in 10 minutes after the jump.
