Batman: The DCU Needs to Embrace Batman’s Monstrous Villains
Throughout the past hundred years, various interpretations of Batman have graced our screens, from Adam West’s legendary live-action series to Michael Keaton’s portrayal, and the darker versions like Christian Bale’s and Robert Pattinson’s take on The Dark Knight. Despite the different actors who played Batman, only a handful delved into the superpowered villains of his rogues gallery in movies, with exceptions like George Clooney’s film featuring Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy. With Batman appearing alongside his son, Robin (Damian Wayne), in the DC Universe, the next actor to portray him should encounter a new breed of villain on the big screen – something more beastly.
