Keep in mind that Batman has also been awesome in everything he's been in since 2005. The best superhero movie, the best video game, and (arguably) the best DC series in the New 52. Hell, Batman was probably the best part of the new Lego Movie. There is something about him that makes him so intriguing. Let's hope the next movie continues this trend.
I sounded like a total fanboy there didn't I?
...Three things I love most: Physics, Tolkien, and Batman.
I never liked the Batman reboot. And I jumped off the Heath Ledger bandwagon a long time ago. The films are too long and contrived, particularly TDKR.
There is no way that any Batman movie is the best superhero movie out there. One of the biggest surprises has got to be Ironman. There is no other actor that so perfectly portrays Tony Stark than Robert Downey Jr. It was as if he was born to play that role.
The Avengers is hands down the BEST superhero movie out there so far, but it may have been surpassed by X-MEN: Days of the Future Past (though we will wait and see). TDK may be considered a great movie, understandably, but I can't help but feel a lot of it is overhyped.
The best video game as in 'Arkham Asylum'? Joker is the best thing in that and especially Batman the Animated Series (hands down one of the best cartoons of all time). Thank you Mark Hamill.
I haven't read the 52 comics but MARVEL has consitently produced some of the best comics out there as they reflect real socio-political issues e.g. Captain America versus the Nazis, X-Men and the civil rights movement (in my opinion nothing can top this) and Civil War and the War on Terror.
What is the new 52 about?
