How do you feel about The Batman?
The Batman follows Bruce Wayne in his second year as Gotham’s vigilante as he investigates a series of murders committed by the Riddler. As corruption inside Gotham’s elite is exposed, Bruce begins to understand what Batman truly needs to represent. Based on DC Comics, the film reimagines Batman as a darker detective noir story. The Batman is a DC Comics screen adaptation from 2022, sitting in the wider Comic Movie DB archive as one of the movie entries that helps connect page-to-screen storytelling beyond the obvious cape-and-cowl crowd. The page is especially useful for readers tracking the people involved, with Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz among the main names connected to the project. Its action|adventure|drame|fantasy angle gives the page a clear hook for fans comparing it against other comic-inspired releases, cult favourites and franchise instalments. We have rated this 7 out of 10, which makes it a worthwhile entry to revisit when comparing how well comic properties translate across different studios, eras and audience expectations. For SEO and fan discovery, it belongs here because it adds context to the bigger comic movie timeline: not every adaptation has to be perfect, but each one says something about the genre, the audience it was chasing and the kind of stories studios believed could work on screen.
We have rated this 7 out of 10. The Batman feels less like a superhero film and more like a detective thriller wearing a cape. Robert Pattinson brings a raw, obsessive Bruce Wayne, Paul Dano’s Riddler is genuinely unsettling, and Gotham looks like it needs a tetanus shot. Matt Reeves leans fully into noir atmosphere and lets Batman actually investigate crimes. Moody, slow-burning and excellent.
