The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson as the titular character, was one of the most anticipated films of 2022. This film promised a fresh take on the Batman franchise, focusing on the detective aspects of the character and exploring a darker, grittier Gotham City. The movie follows Batman in his second year of crime-fighting, as he confronts the Riddler, a serial killer played by Paul Dano, who is terrorizing Gotham and leaving clues for Batman to follow.
