How The Batman Ranks Against Other Dark Knight Movies In Rotten Tomatoes
Batman has some of the most popular comic book movies of all time, but their Rotten Tomatoes scores are all over the place, so where does Robert Pattinson's The Batman rank? As the newest Batman movie featuring a new Batman actor and falling outside DCEU canon, The Batman's Rotten Tomatoes score is sure to be highly scrutinized, especially compared to what came before for the character.
Batman's live-action history goes back to the 1940s when he appeared in a black and white serial, and the 1960s Batman series starring Adam West also has a popular movie featuring the characters, but the true cinematic rise of the Caped Crusader started in 1989 with Tim Burton's Batman and the follow-up Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton. After Burton came the disappointing (but now quasi-cult status) Batman Forever (with Val Kilmer as Batman) and Batman & Robin (featuring George Clooney as Batman), effectively killing the brand for years before Christopher Nolan's revival trilogy starring Christian Bale, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. The character hasn't had a proper solo movie since then, but Ben Affleck wore the cape and cowl in a major role as Zack Snyder's Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with a cameo in Suicide Squad before appearing in the studio-botched Justice League, which he said was such as bad experience he decided to quit playing the character, but not before shooting some extra scenes for the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League and showing up in The Flash to, as he says “put a really nice finish on my experience with that character.”
