13) Batman Begins (2005)

Christopher Nolan reinvigorated the Batman franchise with the grounded, gritty tone that audiences were clamoring for. With Christian Bale's nuanced performance regarding Bruce Wayne's metamorphosis into the Dark Knight, the stakes for a superhero film had changed irreversibly. Compelling origin story, intense action, and an unforgettable villain in Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow aside, the film has aged remarkably well. Rewatches are rewarded in equal measure for the intricate storytelling and Hans Zimmer's iconic score. As the most popular film in Nolan's trilogy, Batman Begins remains a must-watch for fans of superhero movies.
