The Batman brings us back to Gotham—albeit a more squalid, rainy and corrupt version—where Batman (Robert Pattinson) is only in his second year as the caped crusader and finds himself squaring off against The Riddler (Paul Dano), The Penguin (Colin Farrell) and Carmine Falcone (John Turturro).

The 1949 incarnation of Batman is a good guy/bad guy crime-fighting drama, relying on old-fashioned police work to round up gangsters, and certainly not a techno-gadget-filled escapade with dozens of unstable villains.
