The Batman Is So Dark This Fan Made A Babadook Crossover Poster
A fan inspired by The Batman's dark tone has created a piece of crossover art with The Babadook. The Babadook, directed by Jennifer Kent, is a 2014 horror movie based on a short film called Monster, also directed by Kent. Despite being made in Australia, the film gained US audiences' attention, being praised for its symbolism for death and grief.
The Batman on the other hand is obviously a much more recognizable title. The DC film starring Robert Pattinson just coming out at the beginning of March. There have of course been several iterations of Batman to hit the big screens, dating back to 1966 when Adam West's Batman: The Movie came to theaters. Matt Reeves' The Batman couldn't be further from West's campy take on the Caped Crusader, with the newest Batman movie being called the darkest entry to the franchise. Christian Bale's time under the cowl was often considered the most serious version of Batman, but Reeves took it a step further. With the Riddler resembling famous serial killers like Zodiac and Gotham being depicted as a true cesspool with violence around every corner, The Batman has quickly become the darkest and one of the most critically praised DC films ever.

You can't get rid of… The Babadook." Check out the artist's original post below:
