However, Matt Reeves' most recent offering The Batman is nipping at its heels as one of the audiences' favourites. Reeves released "moody, red-saturated" test footage of Pattinson in his Batman costume on February 13, 2020. The footage included early music written by Giacchino, [281] [282] and generated discussion about the film's approach to Batman. [283] Chris Evangelista of /Film thought Pattinson's Batman looked much different from previous film depictions, [284] while Richard Newby of The Hollywood Reporter identified the costume's various references to past incarnations. Newby also noted that the bat emblem on the costume's chest resembled a pistol, and wondered if it was the pistol used to kill Batman's parents in his origin story. [283] The footage's use of the color red also led to discussions of how The Batman would differ tonally from previous adaptations. [282] [283] On March 4, Reeves released an image of the film's Batmobile. Dino-Ray Ramos of Deadline Hollywood opined that it seemed "sexier and more streamlined than Batmobiles from the past", giving off " James Bond-meets- Fast and Furious energy" that seemed appropriate for Pattinson's version of the character.

[100] Particular influence came from " Year One" (1987) by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, Ego (2000) by Darwyn Cooke, and " Zero Year" (2013–14) by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, [122] [123] as well as Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Neal Adams' runs on the character. [8] [124] Reeves drew from the depiction of a young, inexperienced Batman in "Year One", [125] Catwoman's relationship to Falcone in The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, [126] the exploration of Batman's psychology and his transition from exacting vengeance to inspiring hope in Ego, [114] [126] and the Riddler's plot to flood Gotham in "Zero Year". [126] Other elements, such as Alfred's characterization, Thomas Wayne's mayoral campaign, and Martha Wayne being part of the Arkham family, came from Batman: Earth One (2012) by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, [126] while the theme of vengeance was inspired by Kevin Conroy's "I am vengeance, I am the night" speech from Batman: The Animated Series (1992–1999). [17] The film also features references to other comic storylines, including " No Man's Land" (1999) and " Hush" (2002–03). [126] In January 2022, The Batman received a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association, despite wide speculation and internal discussions at Warner Bros. that its somber tone and violent content would lead to it being the first theatrical Batman film with an R-rating. The film was able to receive a PG-13 rating because it does not include excessive profanity or nudity. Rebecca Rubin of Variety opined that an R-rating could have hurt the film's box office potential by preventing many young males from seeing it, noting that the two previous R-rated DC films, Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021), both underperformed commercially. [260] Reeves said that he always intended to make The Batman PG-13 and that there was not an alternate R-rated cut. [261] He added that a PG-13 rating was one of the only studio mandates he faced.
