From 1960s Pop superhero to the 21st century Dark Knight — there's a Batman for all seasons. Here's why we needed a new one for right now
Yes, ok, so some of it looks a tad cheesy now. But long before the MCU was a glimmer in Kevin Feige’s eye,changed superhero movies — everything that’s come since has either been a variation on its tortured superhero wrestling with supervillains and personal demons, or a reaction to it. And with the release of Matt Reeves’on March 5th, the latest screen incarnation of the DC character once again doubles down on the darkness.
On TV screens, the masked man and his boy-wonder sidekick punched their way through a different, garishly costumed bad guy every week. Or, when he was granted a big-screen outing in 1966 viaOn the pages, D.C. embraced and rode the Bat-a-go-go wave of popularity until the show went off the air in 1968, at which point the editors of Batman-related titles began looking back to his roots as the World’s Greatest Detective. Robin went to college.
As a man, I’m flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol… I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting .” As a symbol and an intellectual property: Nolan’s movies did more to enshrine Batman as a mythic figure and a perpetual moneymaker at the very moment that superhero movies became the last sure thing in Hollywood. The weariness, the raspy voice, the willingness to cross the line if it gets the job done — they’re characteristics of the obsessive vigilante that we now view as Batman touchstones, period. He is our eternal avatar of bleak-buster escapism, which can be both a feature and a bug.
It may be the newest flavor of grim, but you might have noticed we’re living in grim times — and it’s why we may need a new Batman so he can step into the same shaky, enraged psychological space we’ve all been in for the last half-dozen years. The Keaton and Bale versions are products of their times; if we’re lucky, Pattinson has given us a hero that makes perfect sense for our cracked moment.
