Batman is perhaps the most durable and endearing of all superheroes. He can sustain any number of interpretations,
no matter how disparate. He can also
weather the fallout when said interpretation becomes passé, leaving his legacy
in tatters. The character is consummately
iconic, so much so that he continues to inspire any number of fan films despite
the massive success of his most recent cinematic incarnation. Interestingly, though Christopher Nolan’s
version of Batman is arguably the most widely accepted to date, fans still look
to Tim Burton’s vision for inspiration when crafting their own batman films. Sometimes, they combine elements from both to
create an amalgamation of the two.
