10 Things That Could Make The Batman Truly Great

Is there a standalone comic book movie more highly anticipated than The Batman? It's been five years since the last standalone Bat-flick with 2012's The Dark Knight Rises and fans need their fix. Thankfully, it seems we won't have to wait for much longer. With Matt Reeves (fresh off of the Planet of the Apes trilogy) at the helm and Ben Affleck ready to go as the Caped Crusader, audiences can have faith in the right people having creative control over the project.

It’s understandable if you wince with the words “Batman and Robin” put together, especially after Joel Schumacher’s infamous 1997 outing. However, if one looks to the duo’s adventures within the comics, then it’s clear that plenty of greatly entertaining stories could be utilized.

The shot from BvS showing a burned Robin costume already hints at some potentially heartbreaking scenes. Since this Robin hasn’t been introduced yet, a film dedicating plentiful screentime to the dynamic duo’s relationship would allow a worthy cinematic portrayal of the pair. Not only that, but it could be something similar to the A Death in The Family storyline, where viewers get a full visualization of Robin’s final moments at the hands of the Joker near the end.

It’ll depend on whether or not Reeves would want more than a couple Robin-centric scenes. Along with that, maybe he’d prefer to work with a different Robin than Jason Todd (perhaps Damien or Tim). Regardless, a definitive portrayal of Batman and Robin is an enticing prospect for any longtime fan, and The Batman could offer exactly that.
