New ‘Batman’ Reboot Finally Confirms Full Cast of Actors
For more than eight decades, Batman has remained one of the most constantly reinvented characters in pop culture history. From Tim Burton’s quasi-gothic take on Gotham City in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) to Joel Schumacher’s neon-soaked Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), every filmmaker has left a distinct mark on the Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan grounded the Caped Crus
