Let's get something straight, Batman is THE MOST popular comic book hero of all time. Even more than Superman or Spider-Man. While those aforementioned superheroes are certainly titans of pop culture, no hero has captured the imaginations of comic book readers, cinephiles, casual movie goeers, and, most importantly, filmmakers the way the world's greatest detective has. And that keyword, detective, might just offer us a clue as to why people love Batman why directors love Batman and are drawn to telling stories about him. Unlike say a Spider-Man or Wolverine, Batman was a hero informed not just by pulpy adventure fiction, but detective fiction, noir stories. His very origin began in a series of comics quite literal called Detective Comics. Because of this cross pollination of genres, Batman affords filmmakers the latitude to tell an infinite number of possible Batman stories. It's why something like The Dark Knight can exist alongside interpretations such as Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. There are varying degrees to which Batman can exist on screen and a lot of that comes down to which elements of the characters origin drew filmmakers to him. That malleability also allows varying degrees of auteurs to come in and bput their distinct stamp on the caped crusader. It's fascinating that directors like Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher, Christopher Nolan, Zack Snyder, and now Matt Reeves are itching to and invested in telling Batman stories and not Captain America or Spider-Man stories. There's an innately cinematic quality to the character that makes him far more than just a comic book hero. Griffin (@griffschiller) unravels this thread and explores some of the deeper reasons as to why directors love Batman or why filmmakers love Batman, why Batman is the best superhero, and why Batman is so popular. Enjoy our Batman analysis or Batman video essay!
