I have spoken endlessly about why The Batman is my all-time favorite live-action Batman movie (or, so far, at least, since there are plenty of upcoming DC movies to look forward to). I love Robert Pattinson’s intense performance as Bruce Wayne, the astonishing action sequences, Gotham’s grim design, and the fact that the 2022 film finally puts the Dark Knight in a genuine detective story.
There is also one element from Matt Reeves’ comic book crime epic that is decidedly minor in the grand scheme of things, but proved to be a major relief for me and other BatFans. Now that I know who is responsible for this detail, I would like to show my appreciation.
