How The Batman Repaired DC"s Oldest Franchise Missed Opportunity

Summary

• The Batman finally explores the Caped Crusader's detective side, a key aspect of his comic book history that has been mostly ignored in film adaptations.
• Previous Batman movies had their moments of detective skills, but The Batman fully embraces this aspect of the character, putting his skills to good use while still maintaining his vigilante and hero sides.
• While Batman movies are typically seen as superhero/action films, the inclusion of mystery and detective work, as seen in The Batman, adds an intriguing element that sets it apart from its predecessors.

The Batman not only brought a younger and more inexperienced Batman than in previous movies, but it also repaired the franchise’s oldest missed opportunity. Batman has gone through many ups and downs in his history on the big screen, with successes like Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and failures like Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin. After the DC Extended Universe failed to bring a version of Batman that successfully connected with the audience, Warner Bros. gave the Caped Crusader a new chance in a universe separate from the DCEU with The Batman.
Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman introduces Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, who is in his second year of crime-fighting in Gotham City. Batman teams up with James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) to find a serial killer known as The Riddler, while Batman also deals with crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) and his lieutenant Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot (Colin Farrell). In addition to featuring a younger Batman than in previous movies, The Batman also finally fixed the franchise’s oldest missed opportunity by exploring the Caped Crusader’s detective side, which is key in his comic book history.
