If you wanted to consume nothing but Batman-related content, you could easily go for years without running out of new material. Since the start of the 21st century, there have been over 10 different Batman movies, a handful of TV shows, and more video games that I can count. So you might assume that Hollywood would eventually run out of ways to reimagine the Dark Knight of Gotham City. Instead, the opposite seems true. The more Batman we get, the more writers, directors, and showrunners seemingly feel the pressure to flex their creative muscles with each reimagining of the 85-year-old superhero. Sure, not every new take on the character is a good one (see, Batffleck) but Bruce Wayne’s batting average is surprisingly high for an octogenarian, and the very latest version of Batman might be the most creative and enjoyable in years.
