Batman turns 80 on Saturday. The iconic superhero has faced his ups and downs over the past decade, but in recent history he has been box-office gold.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> The beloved DC and Warner Bros. character was never a typical superhero — a billionaire capitalist who can't fly, does not have super-strength and cannot stick to walls. But Wayne Enterprises' riches funded an arsenal of tools, machines and weaponry for crime fighting that has allowed Batman to stand toe-to-toe with Marvel Comics heroes and DC coverboy Superman.
Throughout the past eight decades, the iconic character created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger has faced his ups and downs, which is perhaps why he is so relatable. "Once the TV show went off the air, it was Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams who finally, permanently returned Batman to the shadows. Adams' art, combined with O'Neil's sharply written scripts, brought the air of menace and mystery back to Gotham," Avila said."They established the template that scores of creators, from Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers to [the concepts that] Frank Miller and Scott Snyder have been inspired by and built on.
Several other features with different A-list stars playing the masked vigilante followed. Most notable, though, is Christian Bale, who played Batman for Christopher Nolan's"Dark Knight" trilogy. Even with all of the success in movie theatres, one notable consumer segment that has not benefited is comic book sales. In 2018 the comic book industry grossed around $516.59 million, down 1.1 percent year-over-year, which is part of a longer-term declining trend, according to Comichron. But"Batman: New Wedding" was among the most-ordered issues, according to an industry publication.
"I tried to direct a version of it [2021's Batman movie] and worked with a really good screenwriter but just couldn't come up with a version. I couldn't crack it," Affleck said on"Jimmy Kimmel Live!""And so it was time to let someone take a shot at it."
