DCU Batman movie title breaks 81-year Dark Knight trend

Future titles Batman The DC Universe films break decades of character trends, but can also honor this tradition if they choose to do so. DC Universe reboots what the DC Extended Universe built on the big screen with DC Comics characters, integrating TV shows and video games to finally build a properly connected universe across different media. Because of this, DC Universe will keep some characters introduced by the DCEU and introduce new versions of some of DC Comics’ most popular characters, including Batman.

Batman has had a fascinating history on screen, with many ups and downs. His film debut was in 1943 in a simply titled movie serial. BatmanIn 1989, he had a huge success with the Tim Burton film. BatmanSince then, the Caped Crusader has gone through various versions in different universes, the most recent being Ben Affleck’s version in the DCEU. The DC Universe will bring us a new version of Batman (Though Matt Reeves inhabits a different sector of this universe.) But the film already breaks a trend that’s been going on for 81 years as a Batman.
