Is Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman' The Best Take on the Caped Crusader Yet?

The Quint  

This is not to say that Christopher Nolan's Batman did not falter- his moral compass was all over the place at the beginning of Batman Begins. Ben Affleck's take on Batman, unfortunately or fortunately, was more of a long-drawn exposition for the Justice League who hopefully knew the difference between the two words. Yet Affleck’s Batman failed to have any pronounced impression because his films were bowed down by the weight of crossovers and cosmic chaos. But he was also a fascinatingly resilient caped crusader – who could not only take on criminals but also morph into whatever Gotham needed him to be.

Batman, never a day person, is plunged into perpetual night in Matt Reeves’ nocturnal, nihilist, neo-noir take on the Caped Crusader. The comic blueprint is “Batman: Year One,” Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s 1987 four-issue series in which Wayne turns vigilante.
