The Dark Knight has had many iterations in live-action, and while some are absolute triumphs, others can't help but feel like utter train wrecks.
As one of the greatest superheroes of all time, Batman has been the subject of multiple big-screen adaptations, each attempting to bring something new to his already complex mythos. The latest entry in this venerable franchise, Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated The Batman, is a neo-noir take that puts the world’s greatest detective and his legendary skills front and center.
Despite its silliness, Batman Forever tries to flesh out the Bruce Wayne persona more than the Burton films ever did. The film gives Bruce far more agency than most other big-screen adaptations, and Val Kilmer does a surprisingly good job embodying it. Yet Batman Forever never quite rises above other Batman adaptations because it never tries. It’s a film that sits perfectly happy somewhere between mediocrity and affability, not quite forgettable but far from memorable.
Batman remains surprisingly divisive. Comic book purists clutch their pearls at the idea of Joker being responsible for Thomas and Martha Wayne’s murders, with good reason. Still, the film succeeds at introducing a new Batman for the late 20th century, one detached from the pulp of the 1960s version. Burton’s Batman is traumatized, cold, distant — a psychopath who might be just as dangerous as the criminals he hunts, if not more.
3. The Batman Matt Reeves’ The Batman might very well be the best big-screen, live-action Batman story. The director takes a neo-noir approach to the character, presenting a morally corrupt and broken Gotham City ruled by fear. Robert Pattinson plays a struggling and haunted Bruce Wayne, an emo in the best sense of the word.
