Batman: A Death in the Family
The most faithful adaptation out of the 4, mostly following the same story as the original comic.

Batman: A Lonely Place to Die
This film introduces Tim Drake as the new Robin, it received the least critical praise out of all the films.

Batman: Return of the Joker
The film is meant to explain the Joker’s return for Under the Red Hood. This comic is not very well known, it is the least comic accurate out of the 4 as the arc only ran for 2 issues. This is also the only one with a post credits scene, it has an unknown figure covered in bandages waking up in a temple in Tibet with a hooded monk.

Batman: Under the Red Hood
This film was the most critically acclaimed film out of the 4. It is based more on the animated film than the comic.
