Impressive Fan-Made Video Details The Evolution of BATMAN in Cinema
Similar to Spider-Man & Superman, Batman's popularity has been able to stand the test of time, however, no superhero has shown up on the big screen quite as often as the Bat, who has had 12 theatrical appearances. Come check out a fan-made video highlighting his cinematic adventures now!
Batman is one of the most popular and one of the more influential superheroes of all-time and while he has surely had his hits and misses, it's hard to deny that no superhero has had more success on the big screen than the Caped Crusader. Since 1949, he has had twelve theatrical releases and has approximately four films currently in the pipeline, with Ben Affleck under the cowl, including Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, two Justice League films, and a new solo Batman adventure. This tally doesn't include his direct-to-video film appearances.
To celebrate his theatrical journey, amateur filmmaker Jacob T. Swinney compiled some of the Dark Knight's best cinematic moments. Check out the impressive video below and a special thanks to CBM user ImKennyPowers for the heads up on the video.
