Only a select few fictional characters have enjoyed cinematic longevity: there's Dracula, there's James Bond, and then there's Batman, the relative newcomer to the group. The Dark Knight has, by our count, starred in 11 live-action outings, plus his many animated adventures, the most of any of his superhero compatriots. He’s certainly the most adapted superhero to come from the Big Two, and he might be the most recognizable American film character of all time.
Those films have run the full gamut of tone and atmosphere, from the heightened absurdity of Adam West’s cult-classic Batman: The Movie to the noir-tinged serial murderer mystery of The Batman. Part of the brilliance of Batman as a character is his malleable nature, something both the comics and the films have leaned into. Now, a game is celebrating that exact aspect of the character, and it does so by honoring his long and storied history on the big screen.
