Affleck signed on to direct, produce, co-write, and star in The Batman by 2016, but had reservations about the project and dropped out in January 2017. Reeves took over the following month and reworked the story, removing the DCEU connections to focus on a younger version of the character earlier in his vigilante career compared to Affleck's. He sought to explore Batman's detective side more than previous films, drawing inspiration from the films of <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock" title="Alfred Hitchcock">Alfred Hitchcock</a> and the <a href="/wiki/New_Hollywood" title="New Hollywood">New Hollywood</a> era, and comics such as <a href="/wiki/Batman:_Year_One" title="Batman: Year One">Year One</a> (1987), <a href="/wiki/Batman:_The_Long_Halloween" title="Batman: The Long Halloween">The Long Halloween</a> (1996–97), and <a href="/wiki/Batman:_Ego" class="mw-redirect" title="Batman: Ego">Ego</a> (2000). Pattinson was cast in May 2019, with further casting later that year. Filming began in the United Kingdom in January 2020 but was halted by the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a> two months later. Production resumed later in the year and concluded in Chicago in March 2021. The Batman was theatrically released by <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Pictures" title="Warner Bros. Pictures">Warner Bros.

The film was a commercial success, grossing over $772 million against a $185–200 million budget, making it the <a href="/wiki/2022_in_film#Highest-grossing_films" title="2022 in film">seventh-highest-grossing film of 2022</a>.

Reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne, who has operated for two years as the vigilante <a href="/wiki/Batman" title="Batman">Batman</a>, investigates the murder alongside Lieutenant <a href="/wiki/Jim_Gordon_(character)" title="Jim Gordon (character)">Jim Gordon</a>, much to the disdain of the <a href="/wiki/Gotham_City_Police_Department" class="mw-redirect" title="Gotham City Police Department">Gotham City Police Department</a> (GCPD). The Riddler has left a message for Batman at the crime scene. The following night, the Riddler kills Commissioner Pete Savage and leaves another message for Batman. Batman and Gordon discover that the Riddler left a <a href="/wiki/Thumb_drive" class="mw-redirect" title="Thumb drive">thumb drive</a> in Mitchell's car containing images of Mitchell's affair with a woman, Annika Kosolov, at the <a href="/wiki/Iceberg_Lounge" class="mw-redirect" title="Iceberg Lounge">Iceberg Lounge</a>—a nightclub operated by <a href="/wiki/The_Penguin" class="mw-redirect" title="The Penguin">the Penguin</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Cobb-8">[a]</a> crime boss <a href="/wiki/Carmine_Falcone" title="Carmine Falcone">Carmine Falcone</a>'s lieutenant. While the Penguin pleads ignorance, Batman notices that Annika's roommate <a href="/wiki/Selina_Kyle" class="mw-redirect" title="Selina Kyle">Selina Kyle</a> works at the club as a waitress. When Annika disappears, Batman sends Selina to the Iceberg Lounge for answers and discovers that Savage, Mitchell, and the <a href="/wiki/District_attorney" title="District attorney">district attorney</a> Gil Colson are on Falcone's payroll. The Riddler abducts Colson, straps a timed <a href="/wiki/Collar_bomb" class="mw-redirect" title="Collar bomb">collar bomb</a> to his neck, and sends him to interrupt Mitchell's funeral. When Batman arrives, the Riddler calls him via Colson's phone and threatens to detonate the bomb if Colson cannot answer three riddles. Colson refuses to answer the third—the name of the informant who gave the GCPD information that led to a historic drug bust ending mob boss <a href="/wiki/Salvatore_Maroni" class="mw-redirect" title="Salvatore Maroni">Salvatore Maroni</a>'s operation—and is killed. Batman and Gordon deduce that the informant may be the Penguin and track him to a drug deal. They discover that Maroni's operation was transferred to Falcone, with many <a href="/wiki/Police_corruption" title="Police corruption">corrupt officers</a> involved. Selina inadvertently exposes them when she arrives to steal money and discovers Annika's corpse in the trunk of a car. Batman captures the Penguin after a car chase, but he and Gordon learn that the Penguin is not the informant. Batman and Gordon follow the Riddler's trail to the ruins of an orphanage initially funded by Bruce's deceased parents <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Wayne" title="Thomas Wayne">Thomas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Martha_Wayne" title="Martha Wayne">Martha Wayne</a>, where they learn that the Riddler holds a grudge against the Wayne family for failing the orphanage. Bruce's butler and caretaker <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Pennyworth" title="Alfred Pennyworth">Alfred Pennyworth</a> is hospitalized after opening a <a href="/wiki/Letter_bomb" title="Letter bomb">letter bomb</a> addressed to Bruce. The Riddler leaks evidence that Thomas, who was running for mayor before he was murdered, hired Falcone to kill Maroni's journalist who was writing a story about Martha's family history of mental illness. Bruce confronts Alfred, who maintains that Thomas only asked Falcone to threaten the journalist into silence; upon learning that Falcone had murdered the journalist instead, Thomas planned to turn himself and Falcone over to the police. Alfred believes that Falcone had Thomas and Martha killed to silence them. Selina reveals to Batman that Falcone is her father. After learning that Falcone killed Annika for discovering that he was the informant, Selina tries to kill him, but Batman and Gordon arrive in time to stop her. Gordon arrests Falcone, but the Riddler kills Falcone with a sniper rifle moments later. The Riddler is unmasked as <a href="/wiki/Forensic_accountant" title="Forensic accountant">forensic accountant</a> Edward Nashton and incarcerated in <a href="/wiki/Arkham_Asylum" title="Arkham Asylum">Arkham State Hospital</a>, where he tells Batman he took inspiration from him when targeting the corrupt. Batman learns that Nashton has planted car bombs and cultivated an online following that plans to assassinate mayor-elect Bella Reál. The bombs destroy the <a href="/wiki/Seawall" title="Seawall">seawall</a> around Gotham and flood the city. Nashton's followers attempt to kill Reál, but Batman and Selina manage to stop them. In the aftermath, Nashton befriends another inmate,<a href="#cite_note-10">[b]</a> while Selina deems Gotham beyond saving and leaves.

He explained that he spent that much time as he felt the "bar is therefore very high" due to Batman's popularity. He cited the scene in which Batman and Gordon enter the Riddler's apartment as one of his most difficult scenes as he wanted to visually convey Batman's fear that the Riddler is aware of his identity

Hula Post set up the workflow, installing nine Avid editing systems. Due to the strict COVID-19 protocols the studio put in place, editors William Hoy and Tyler Nelson could not sit with Reeves side by side, which was how they were accustomed to working.<a href="#cite_note-HulaPost-264">[262]</a> The solution was to set Reeves up in a separate room with the ability to mirror what was on both editors' Avids, their assistant editors as well as other members of the team.<a href="#cite_note-PostPerspectiveEditing-265">[263]</a> Reeves was given a non-working Avid with a mixing board, a 5.1 surround sound setup, a 65 in (1,700 mm) OLED playback monitor, and desktop screen playbacks which imitated Reeves looking over the shoulders of Hoy and Nelson. According to Hula Post's Senior Support Engineer, James Tejada, this environment was created so the entire editing team could work collaboratively and see each other's playbacks using additional hardware. Two Mac Minis hooked into a local NEXIS network allowed Reeves to be able to do multiple screen shares with the addition of a video switcher to provide access to outputs from any Avid used by the entire editing team. It was the first time such a unique dynamic was deployed.<a href="#cite_note-HulaPostTVBEurope-266">[264]</a> The Batmobile chase was the first scene that sound editor Will Files worked on, and he used a <a href="/wiki/Bottle_rocket" class="mw-redirect" title="Bottle rocket">bottle rocket</a> sound effect as the basis for how the car sounded.

While they were initially planned to be on set during filming, this did not happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Langlands had said that Wētā worked on the film for over a year and that the team managed to efficiently set up their crew for a smooth transition to working remotely.<a href="#cite_note-/FilmVFX-276">[274]</a> For the Batmobile chase sequence, four vehicles were constructed by special effects supervisor <a href="/wiki/Dominic_Tuohy" title="Dominic Tuohy">Dominic Tuohy</a>, two of which could be driven via remote control, and portions of the scene were shot practically.<a href="#cite_note-THRVFX-277">[275]</a> Wētā was then tasked with fleshing out the sequence, using CGI to add rain and vehicles and help form the "beats" of the chase, such as Penguin causing a fuel truck explosion.<a href="#cite_note-VFXIndieWire-241">[239]</a> One of Wētā's biggest tasks was replicating Fraser's cinematography, which they performed using the Manuka <a href="/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)" title="Rendering (computer graphics)">renderer</a> and <a href="/wiki/Virtual_cinematography" title="Virtual cinematography">virtual cinematography</a>.<a href="#cite_note-VFXIndieWire-241">[239]</a> They also bought glass plates and silicone sealants to replicate Fraser's process of inserting silicone on the lenses.<a href="#cite_note-AWNWetaInterview-278">[276]</a> Furthermore, the team, including the compositing staff members Peter Hillman, Ben Morgan, and Beck Veitch, upgraded their tools that performed deep focus effects, allowing them to emulate the <a href="/wiki/Bokeh" title="Bokeh">bokeh</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vignetting" title="Vignetting">optical vignetting</a> resulting from Fraser's camera lens.<a href="#cite_note-/FilmVFX-276">[274]</a> The team found difficulty inserting rain in the Batmobile chase due to rain's physics and oscillation in real life, which they wanted to replicate. They began by creating a rain primitive to adjust the speed and phases of rain oscillation, with supervisor Christos Parliarnos setting the primitive on the <a href="/wiki/Houdini_(software)" title="Houdini (software)">Houdini</a> particle system to animate the rain speed. The team also created an adjustable car rig for the camera team to track. The camera team could then adjust the headlights and wheels, allowing the VFX team to have accurate 3D models for each car, thus facilitating the insertion of additional cars during post-production. Other CG parts of the scene included the Batmobile's collision with Penguin's car and Batman's cape and boots.<a href="#cite_note-WetaFXInterview-245">[243]</a> Wētā designed the entrance of the Batcave to accommodate shots of Bruce's motorcycle; Reeves could not film the scenes due to the size of the sets. They digitally created the space using models provided by the art department and plate shots; it sought to emulate Fraser's lighting, drew inspiration from the <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Tower" title="Tribune Tower">Tribune Tower</a>, and inserted bats.<a href="#cite_note-AWNWetaInterview-278">[276]</a><a href="#cite_note-ArtofVFXWetaInterview-22">[20]</a> Additionally, Wētā used CG to create higher balconies and windows for the City Hall set, as the practical set ended at the first balcony. The team experienced difficulty compositing the CGI architecture to the practical due to distortion and focus falloff caused by the lenses.<a href="#cite_note-AWNWetaInterview-278">[276]</a> In fight scenes, the team replaced <a href="/wiki/Stunt_double" class="mw-redirect" title="Stunt double">stunt double</a> Rick English's face with Pattinson's using paintings and facial animations.<a href="#cite_note-ArtofVFXWetaInterview-22">[20]</a> Scanline VFX created over 217 VFX shots across 11 sequences. It was responsible for creating the destruction of the water dams, the subsequent tsunami rushing towards Gotham Square Gardens, and Catwoman's burglary. For the burglary, the team used <a href="/wiki/Digital_double" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital double">digital doubles</a> for Pattinson and Kravitz and facial replacements for footage filmed with stunt doubles. A CGI arena was created for the Gardens so that cameras could be placed anywhere on set; its exterior was based on scans and plate shots of exterior locations in Chicago and the <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a>, while the ground level and entrance were based on <a href="/wiki/The_O2_Arena" title="The O2 Arena">the O2 Arena</a>.<a href="#cite_note-AWNScanlineInterview-279">[277]</a><a href="#cite_note-b&aScanlineInterview-280">[278]</a> The overall arena set was the only one that used blue screens, with principal photography from O2 being used to create the backgrounds.<a href="#cite_note-WrapDirCommentary-228">[226]</a> Simulations were used to replicate water, architectural destruction, fire, smoke, and <a href="/wiki/Electric_arc" title="Electric arc">electric arcing</a> for the final act, with Houdini being used for rigid body simulations and Flowline for water simulations. The artists began by creating low-resolution simulations and progressively animating them faster, using footage of tsunamis as a reference. They did not have to significantly adjust the lighting and mainly focused on color-correcting the water. Practical explosions were modified with CGI, while other modifications included environmental interactions, such as fire lighting, smoke, and shockwaves generating dust and dirt. Rendering glass during the explosion of the Gotham Square Gardens roof was difficult due to the "pings, reflections, and refractions", while scenes involving arcing electricity from disconnected cables and rafter beams from the interior of Gotham Square Gardens required "significant art direction". The team also performed set extensions from practical sets and reconstructed them using plate photography for action scenes located in the rafters. They used Eyeline Studios' volumetric capture tools to replace the stunt doubles' faces. Additional setups were created to match Fraser's process of inserting <a href="/wiki/Caulk" title="Caulk">caulk</a> on the lenses, while crowds were inserted using CGI.<a href="#cite_note-AWNScanlineInterview-279">[277]</a><a href="#cite_note-b&aScanlineInterview-280">[278]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Music">Music</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/The_Batman_(soundtrack)" title="The Batman (soundtrack)">The Batman (soundtrack)</a></div> In October 2019, Reeves announced that his frequent collaborator <a href="/wiki/Michael_Giacchino" title="Michael Giacchino">Michael Giacchino</a> would be composing the film's score.<a href="#cite_note-GiacchinoComposer-281">[279]</a> Later that month, Giacchino said he had already finished writing the main theme for the film because he was so excited to do so;<a href="#cite_note-GiacchinoThemeDone-282">[280]</a> because this music was written much earlier in the production than is usual for a film, Giacchino and Reeves were able to use it in promotional materials.

Batman's initial antagonism towards Alfred and apathy towards Catwoman's situation stems from the death of his parents and his inability to communicate with people due to his fear of suffering more emotional pain. His obsession with solving the Riddler case is a method of coping with the trauma of losing his parents, while his obsession with being Batman is the result of channeling his rage into what Marcus Shorter of <a href="/wiki/Bloody_Disgusting" title="Bloody Disgusting">Bloody Disgusting</a> called a "dogmatic dedication to his chosen crimefighting craft". The film ends with Batman realizing that he must process his trauma to help improve Gotham.<a href="#cite_note-ShorterPTSD-392">[390]</a> Batman's relationship with law enforcement differs from previous Batman films. Burton's films depict the police as an incompetent force that Batman supersedes, while Nolan's films depict them as people who are willing to bend the law to assist him. The Batman shows Batman having a hostile relationship with Gotham police, who see him as a criminal. Baker said that "[e]very time Batman interacts with the police, there's a palpable sense of discomfort; to them, Batman represents a level of oversight that they're not used to having to contend with".<a href="#cite_note-InverseThemes-388">[386]</a> Baker called this "timely" given the contemporary American sociopolitical context including increased awareness of <a href="/wiki/Police_brutality" title="Police brutality">police brutality</a>.<a href="#cite_note-InverseThemes-388">[386]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Future">Future</h2></div> The Batman is intended to be the first of a new Batman film trilogy and establish a Batman-focused <a href="/wiki/Shared_universe" title="Shared universe">shared universe</a> separate from the DCEU.<a href="#cite_note-InsideTheBatman-24">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-PattinsonApproved-150">[148]</a><a href="#cite_note-PenguinSeries-393">[391]</a> Reeves and Clark refer to the shared universe as the "Batman Epic Crime Saga".<a href="#cite_note-PenguinGCPDIntegration-394">[392]</a> Key cast members had signed on for future films by November 2019.<a href="#cite_note-CastFutureFilms-395">[393]</a> In December 2021, Pattinson said he had ideas for developing Batman's character in further films, while Clark said The Batman would lay a foundation for future films to build upon.<a href="#cite_note-PattinsonFutureDec2021-396">[394]</a> Pattinson and Reeves expressed interest in introducing <a href="/wiki/Robin_(character)" title="Robin (character)">Robin</a> and featuring the <a href="/wiki/Court_of_Owls" title="Court of Owls">Court of Owls</a>, <a href="/wiki/Calendar_Man" title="Calendar Man">Calendar Man</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mr._Freeze" title="Mr. Freeze">Mr. Freeze</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Hush_(character)" title="Hush (character)">Hush</a> as villains in a sequel.<a href="#cite_note-VillainsSequel-397">[395]</a> By October 2022, Reeves was meeting with directors and writers for several films and television series that were in early development and centered on members of <a href="/wiki/List_of_Batman_family_enemies" title="List of Batman family enemies">Batman's rogues gallery</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Scarecrow_(DC_Comics)" title="Scarecrow (DC Comics)">Scarecrow</a>, <a href="/wiki/Clayface" title="Clayface">Clayface</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Professor_Pyg" title="Professor Pyg">Professor Pyg</a>.<a href="#cite_note-THRFutureOct2022-398">[396]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Riddler:_Year_One_(2022–2023)">The Riddler: Year One (2022–2023)</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/The_Riddler:_Year_One" title="The Riddler: Year One">The Riddler: Year One</a></div> In March 2022, Reeves announced <a href="/wiki/The_Riddler:_Year_One" title="The Riddler: Year One">The Riddler: Year One</a>, a prequel comic book published bimonthly through DC's adult-oriented <a href="/wiki/DC_Black_Label" title="DC Black Label">Black Label</a> imprint from October 2022 to August 2023.
