Since many years, Batman has been an integral component of the pop culture. It has gained popularity with the character earning stories in a number of mediums. In the year 1966, Adam West starred as the character in Batman: The Movie. It embraced the bizarre corner of the comics for a lighthearted and entertaining adventure. As time went by, the character earned darker adaptations. All thanks to the comic creator Fark Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, paving the way for Tim Burton’s moodier Batman film in 1989. This film inspired three sequels which aimed to replicate that style, some of which were major successes. On the 80th anniversary of this character, these films are returning to theatres for special screenings. A new Batman poster was released with the title Celebrating 80 Years Of Batman.

Despite the success of the initial film, by the time the franchise released Batman & Robin, the campier components of the series began to blend with those moodier elements. This resulted in the film being both financial and critical disappointment.

After almost a decade, the Caped Crusader returned to the big screen with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. It completely restored the character’s popularity. Some fans’ say Nolan’s Batman films are not only considered as the biggest success with the character but also in all superhero storytelling.
