One of the most recognizable superhero characters in movie history, Batman, hit the big screen once more this March.

Over the last 50 years, Batman movies have been among the most popular superhero films worldwide. The first actor to portray the Dark Knight was Adam West who kicked it all off by appearing as the first live action Batman in the 1960s ABC series and subsequent 1966 feature film.  The next actor to play Batman was Michael Keaton in the late 80’s. Keaton, who may be one of the most recognizable actors to ever play the Dark Knight, starred in two movies in 1989 and 1992. Val Kilmer appeared as Batman in 1995 but It was not long until the next actor took on the role of the Dark Knight. George Clooney played Batman in 1997 with the colorful and campy movie, Batman and Robin.

Not until 2005 would Batman return to theaters with Christian Bale starring as the Caped Crusader in the critically acclaimed, Christopher Nolan, Dark Knight Trilogy. Ben Affleck was featured in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016 and “Justice League” in 2017. The final actor who recently has taken up the role of Batman is Robert Pattinson.

The variety of actors mirrors the evolution of the character in movies as Batman has returned to his comic book form, as a gritty, brooding night-time vigilante.

The most recent Batman movie, starring Pattinson, presents a new take on the character in a few interesting ways. In this movie, Batman ventures into Gotham City’s underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.

That is all I can disclose to our readers without spoiling it because this is a movie that is worth seeing for yourself.

One thing that has changed about the Batman movies is the villains that Batman has fought throughout the movies, they have evolved in each of these movies just like Batman has in their own way.

This Batman movie did a lot of things so well, many people are saying it surpassed the Dark Knight Trilogy. The first thing that this film did well was the intensity. One example of this gripping intensity is the nature of this mysterious villain in this movie. The mysterious villain contributed well to that the investigative side of Batman, providing intrigue and adventure for Batman to incorporate intelligence with his brute force. Robert Pattinson’s Batman will take any means necessary to find the truth.

In conclusion “The Batman” film is a movie you should check out for yourself as it is an intense thrill ride, and it will not only be an edge-of-seat movie, but it will keep you guessing up until the very end.
