They're essentially the 90's Batman movies.
Batman / The Force Awakens - The basics of a story you love repackaged for the modern day. Could be thematically denser, but a satisfying popcorn movie. Mega-blockbuster.
Batman Returns / The Last Jedi - Nobody can agree on this fucking thing. Some say it's the best of them (Me!) with a more complex story and characters, others say it's a try-hard mess and are not fans of the angular pacing or tonal whiplash of contemplative darkness one second, then extremely cartoonish antics the next.
Batman Forever / The Rise Of Skywalker - Almost unanimously agreed as a mess. Production was a shitshow (Staff got shafted mid-production, studio tried to course correct back to a safer direction after BR/TLJ's reception). However, a longer and perhaps more realized cut exists, somewhere...
Batman & Robin / ??? - Don't even think about it LucasFilm.
