The Batman - Review

 

As a cinematic entity, Batman has an interesting history. There have now been six different actors to don the cape and cowl, and thus, six (mostly) different interpretations of the character. But none feel as close to the comic book source as this newest iteration. A tortured, fallen prince, determined to bring vengeance and justice to his criminal infested city is easy enough for most adaptations to get right, but where The Batman differs is in its recognition that Batman is all that’s left, Bruce Wayne is actually the mask.
