Batman returned to the big screen in 1989 in Tim Burton’s Batman. It featured a tougher Batman, with a colder personality and a redesigned, all-black costume. In the latest Batman films, the hero’s transformation continues in this direction. Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy features a much more dangerous Gotham City and Bruce Wayne/Batman are not automatically likable characters. Batman no longer simply fights against “bad guys,” but starts to question if he’s a good guy or hero himself. Villains like the Joker are no longer crazy personalities with weird hair and makeup that just want to rob a bank or kidnap a famous person; they are now similar to modern-day terrorists, trying to make people fight one another and threatening the world economy.
