With tons of live-action Batman media in the past, and more on the way, I thought it'd be a fun exercise to put them together into a kind of chronological framework.
Now I'm not trying to fit them all into the same continuity. Just trying to see where each work fits into the broad story of Batman's life and career, and how much each part of his history is represented in other media.
I'm including all Batman-related media - so that includes spin-offs as well as works where Batman isn't the protagonist but makes an appearance.
I've tried to arrange them chronologically as far as possible, but obviously, the continuities being very different, some things will overlap and/or not fully fit in.
Note: TV shows will be in italics while movies and/or movie serials will be in normal text.
So here goes:
Before Batman
Pennyworth
Joker
Gotham
Early Career
Batman Begins
Batman (1989)
The Dark Knight
The Batman (2022)
Batman Returns
The Dynamic Duo Era
Batman Forever
Batman (1943)
Batman and Robin (1949)
Batman (1966)
Batman and Robin (1997)
Later Career
Titans
Suicide Squad
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Justice League
The Dark Knight Rises
After Batman
Birds of Prey (2020)
Batwoman
Birds of Prey (2002)
Looking at this, we see some interesting trends. In the last nearly quarter century since Schumacher's Batman and Robin, there has not been a single live-action work set in the days of the classic Dynamic Duo, while we've had works exploring every other era! Conversely, prior to 1997, almost every live-action Batman work was set in the Dynamic Duo era, with the exception of Burton's two films set in the pre-Robin days.
It seems that for the last nearly 25 years, we've got Gotham before Batman and Gotham after Batman. We've seen Batman's early years and his later career. But the days of Bruce and Dick suiting up to fight crime together are a distant dream...
