The Batman: the Dark Knight on screen has always reflected contemporary tastes

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

From the campy 60s Batman to the darker later versions, each Batman film is a curious cultural artefact reflecting the time in which it was made. It is maybe how they have changed with the times, allowing for an idiosyncratic vision of the Dark Knight by each director, that offers plenty of variety within a single franchise and keeps audiences interested.
