Here's a great way to start your Monday: A wonderfully edited journey through the evolution of Batman in cinema.
The video, created by Jacob Swinney, traces Batman's appearances from the 1940s serials to Christopher Nolan's iconic performance. It's a fascinating treat to see how Hollywood changed over time in its treatment of both Batman and comic book heroes.
Here's the order of films used:
Batman (1943 serial)
Batman and Robin (1949 serial)
Batman: The Movie (1966)
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Batman Forever (1995)
Batman & Robin (1997)
Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The Lego Movie (2014)
