In the last seventeen years, we have had three different iterations of the Caped Crusader. From 2005-2012, director Christopher Nolan, and his Batman, Christian Bale, delivered us an extremely grounded tale of one man’s fight to keep his beloved city safe. Then there was the whole debacle with director Zack Synder, and his Batman, Ben Affleck, that alienated many fans. Batman was more of a supporting character in those films. Affleck tried to do a solo project, but that fizzled out. Now, director Matt Reeves, who gave us 2 out of 3 of the current Planet of the Apes films, steps up to the plate, along with Robert Pattinson, who becomes “The Batman.”
