• Batman: Where the Caped Crusader started.

• Batman: "Holy surrealism, Batman!" The campy 1960s TV series.

• Batman: The first two films, directed by Tim Burton, were very dark and gothic. Then Joel Schumacher's two sequels cranked the camp up to eleven. The first Schumacher film still did well, especially among fans of the more light-hearted 60s Batman, but Batman And Robin was terrible and effectively killed the film franchise. That is, until...
• Dark Knight Trilogy: After Batman On Ice, it was necessary to do a complete reboot of the film continuity - which shows you just how bad the fourth film really was. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Very much Adaptation Distillation.

• Batman The Animated Series: An animated tie-in with the first Batman film. It turned out to be Adaptation Distillation and launched the DCAU.
• Batman Beyond: A Time Skip continuation of the above, 40 years in the future.
• The Batman: A non-DCAU Replacement Scrappy series, now finished.
• Batman The Brave And The Bold: An upcoming non-DCAU series. Tone greatly resembles that of the '60s Batman show.

• Badass Normal: Even the silly versions are like this.
• Batman Gambit
• The Cape: Even the darkest version makes sure Batman has a code of honor.

• Fiction 500
• Heads Tails Edge: Recurring constantly around Two-Face.
