The Batman

The Batman is a 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Batman. The film was directed by Matt Reeves, who also wrote the screenplay. It is a reboot of the Batman film franchise and produced by DC Films, 6th & Idaho, and Dylan Clark Productions, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie stars Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City‘s vigilante detective and his alter ego Bruce Wayne.

The plot of the movie revolves around a sadistic serial killer who begins murdering key political figures in Gotham City. Batman is forced to investigate the city’s hidden corruption and question his family’s involvement. According to Baker, one of the producers of The Batman, the film “enriches Batman’s legacy, complicating it by trusting its audience to interrogate his heroism and eventually ponder what makes Batman a hero — or if he’s even a hero at all”.

The movie departs from previous adaptations of Batman by questioning his ethics and focusing on his material wealth. It also explores grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder through Batman. Despite some aspects that kept some viewers from completely loving it, The Batman has been praised as one of the best takes on the superhero with a lot of potentials to be better than Christopher Nolan’s trilogy (The Batman)

Keoghan shared his audition tape for “The Batman” in which he portrayed the Joker. 

He initially met with Dylan Clark, one of the film’s producers, and urged him to watch the tape but did not hear back for four months. Then he received a call from his agent one night in New York saying that he had been cast as the Joker but could not tell anyone.(The Batman)

Director Matt Reeves explained that Keoghan’s appearance as the Joker was not a set-up for another movie but rather to see through Paul Dano’s arc as The Riddler. Reeves revealed that an earlier scene between Robert Pattinson‘s Batman and Keoghan’s character at Arkham Asylum was cut from the final version of the movie
