The 2020s

Following the box office disappointment of 'Justice League', Ben Affleck - who had been praised for his portrayal of Batman and Bruce Wayne - gave up his utility belt.

A new Batman reboot was announced by Warner Bros. and after rumors ran wild as to who would take on the cape and cowl 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson was cast by director Matt Reeves.

New movie 'The Batman' shows Batman at the start of his crime-fighting career as he has to deal with a murderous rampage by the Riddler (Paul Dano).

The movie - which also stars Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Colin Farrell as Penguin - has received widespread rave reviews with many critics calling it the best Batman movie of all-time.
