    Technically the first version I ever saw was the one in The Super Friends cartoon, but there was another animated series I used to see when I was little too , and whichever movie had Mr. Freeze in it, and I think Catwoman ate a bird in it? Batman Beyond was something I watched a lot too.

    All of them

    Honestly though, the first Batman movie I saw was 1989 but was to young to remember it then I saw the 1966 and thought it was silly, then under the red hood and afterwards I new what Batman was about.

    The Superman/Batman Movie :) I watched that VHS so many times. I think the next incarnation I was exposed to was in the Justice League cartoon, but I also watched TAS and Beyond. I think I first saw a live action Batman when I was 6 or 7. ( It was Batman '89)

    I've known Batman existed for as long as I can remember, but I was first introduced to the character through Batman Begins.

    Unfortunately my first Batman exposure was from Batman and Robin. But the animated series fixed everything

    This^ I grew up watching BTAS but I didn't truly understand it due to my age until Batman Beyond came to be and that was something I grew up to enjoy and understand more. That and Justice League and Justice League United Batman.
