How The Batman's Ending Differs From Other Dark Knight Movies
The Batman star Robert Pattinson has recently detailed how the new film's ending flips the script on a classic Batman ending. The Batman is the newest interpretation of the iconic DC character, with Pattinson's version of the Caped Crusader being the first depiction of Batman to exist outside of the DCEU since Christian Bale took on the role in The Dark Knight trilogy. The film follows Batman in his second year of crime-fighting as he tracks down a mysterious new serial killer known as The Riddler (Paul Dano). The Batman has certainly struck a chord with fans, and since its release, the film has seen acclaim from both audiences and critics alike, with some even claiming it may be the best Batman film to date.
Every new interpretation of the character and world of Batman has tried to do something new with the character. Tim Burton's world was steeped in his signature gothic tone, while director Joel Schumacher brought with him neon colors and a large amount of camp. Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy attempted to bring a heightened sense of realism to the world of Gotham, and for quite some time, The Dark Knight was considered the gold standard for Batman films. Being the newest in a very long line of Batman interpretations, director Matt Reeves certainly strived to set The Batman apart from its predecessors, and especially from the DCEU. The Batman finds a nice balance between Burton's gothic tones and Nolan's realism and also flips many classic Batman tropes on their heads.
