What Is The Batman About?

“The Batman” is a neo-noir superhero flick that follows DC Comics’ Batman. The superhero thriller is a reboot of the Batman film franchise and is a standalone property that exists outside the main DCEU and other existing franchises.

It follows the titular hero’s second year as a crime-fighting vigilante in Gotham City. The film kicks off when the city’s then-mayor gets murdered by an enigmatic and calculating psychopath known as the Riddler. 

As Batman and his partner Jim Gordon of the GCPD follow the Riddler’s string of macabre clues, an interconnected web of lies and corruption unravels. Each murder slowly reveals a massive conspiracy plot that implicates everyone from the cops, the mob, and to Gotham’s wealthiest and most influential family — the Waynes.

With the bodies piling up and the city’s corruption revealing itself, Batman and Jim Gordon must unravel Gotham’s dirty little secrets and stop the Riddler’s murder spree.
