We were in the same house, we stayed in the same little bed and breakfasts around Highclere Castle. The film looked and felt so much bigger, more expansive and more ambitious than the TV show, but the actual act of shooting really feels the same.”

Now that The Batman has finally hit theaters, fans can go back to their favorite pastime and compare films from different times and contexts in an attempt to define which is the best incarnation of the hero of all time in cinema.

This was a discussion that has always divided the public and that only intensified with the premiere of the new film. After all, pretty much everyone doubted Robert Pattinson's potential as the Batman and he delivered a very different and interesting version of the character, but without giving up his fidelity to the comics.

But this is just one piece of the puzzle. And how is the rest? Now that Matt Reeves has delivered his portrayal of the hero, what's the best Batman movie? And what's the best story involving the Dark Knight of Gotham? Canaltech's ranking lists the hero's films, from worst to best.

Miracleman, one of the most important characters in the modern trajectory of comics, is celebrating 40 years in 2022 since he was redefined by Alan Moore in the 1980s as a complex and dark champion - and taking advantage of the date, Marvel, current holder of the rights to the hero, is preparing several publications for this year.

The most recent announcement is the bound Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham Book 1: The Golden Age, which will bring together the first six editions of the hero written by Neil Gaiman, author of the masterpiece Sandman, published in 1992.

The recently announced booklet by Marvel encompasses the first saga, “Golden Age”, the only one completed by the authors. The last story would be titled "Dark Ages", but it never got off the ground.

The release of the binding is another of the titles that Marvel has been doing with Miracleman since the character returned in the pages of Timeless #1, with the publisher possibly laying the groundwork for a greater connection between the hero and the main universe of his comics.

Also in 2022, Marvel will publish Miracleman Omnibus, a luxury book that will compile the entire phase of the hero written by Alan Moore in the 1980s — which means that along with the announcement of Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham Book 1: The Golden Age, the The only period of the character that is not easily accessible is 1954, which encompasses the champion's first appearance, in addition to all the stories scripted by its creator, Mick Anglo.

In the darkest screen adaptation to date, The Batman, by Matt Reeves, features the debut of star Robert Pattinson in the lead role in a plot that mixes horror with noir suspense. The film also addresses a very current topic: the difference between justice and revenge.

Matt Reeves managed to surpass his colleague Christopher Nolan: his vision of Batman is even darker than that of the director of 2008's The Dark Knight. Batman is much more than a superhero movie – it's a horror production shot in a noir style. Over the course of three hours, the hunt for the serial killer Riddler takes place in Gotham City where it's always night and the rain doesn't let up. There is no room for smiles or fun there – only criminality and decadence.

It is in this deplorable environment that Commissioner Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) is constantly forced to project the symbol of the bat in the sky: it is the signal for Batman to leave the darkness and help him in the fight against marginality. As has happened more and more in hero movies, the story is focused on adult audiences and the theme is less Manichean. There is an interesting subliminal discussion about the difference between justice and revenge, an argument that can easily be transposed to the real world. Quite original, Reeves' script casts doubt on the honesty of Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father, Batman's secret identity. This world of secrets and deception is ideal for the bat-man's crises of conscience - he seems to suffer just as much as the bad guys.

Another component that complements the film's oppressive tone is the soundtrack by Michael Giacchino. Coincidence or not, the It's Raining Vengeance theme is similar to Darth Vader's Imperial March from the Star Wars saga. With the flowing cape and stark black suit, Batman's comparison with the Star Wars villain is inevitable.

Responsible for the film's most agonizing scenes, the troubled Riddler is not the only figure that Matt Reeves rescued from the DC Comics universe, the publisher that began publishing Batman, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939. There is also the presence of the Penguin. (an unrecognizable Colin Farrell) and Catwoman (Zöe Kravitz), as well as gangster Carmine Falcone (John Torturro). The truth is, fans already predicted that Reeves' aesthetic choice would lead him to an extremely dark and violent Batman. At least two of his previous productions gave these clues: Planet of the Apes: The Confrontation and Cloverfield are action films, but with hints of horror. In addition to monkeys and monsters, now Matt Reeves has added a bat to his gallery of creepy types.
