The good guys also add a Batgirl to their lineup, the iconic Alicia Silverstone. What a cast! We even get to see their masked henchman, Bane Jeep Swenson. Perhaps the best part, though, is the 7, ice-related puns said by Dr. With the end of the first Batman Anthology, also came the end of bat nipples. There was a plan for a fifth film, centered around the villain Scarecrow, which marinated for nearly a decade until Christopher Nolan took over and brought the Batman franchise to unprecedented heights.
So, it's hard to believe this, with the way most superhero franchises work today, but it took five films for us to see the full Batman origin story on the big screen.
Once he finally returns home, he must battle the Scarecrow Cillian Murphy , who uses a mind-altering toxin to cause terrifying hallucinations. This film serves as a crowning achievement for perhaps all superhero films. We see Batman face-off with his most dangerous nemesis, the Joker, who is played by the late Heath Ledger. The reality of his life-fighting criminals every night has also set in for Bruce, as a visit to the doctor shows the litany of ways his body has begun to break down.
So, it made sense for DC, with its huge backlog of characters, to create its a wider cinematic universe with Batman tie-ins. Batman vs Superman picks up 18 months after the events of 's Man of Steel. Ben Affleck portrays a version of Bruce Wayne that has been fighting bad guys for 20 years.
He views Superman Henry Cavill as an existential threat to humanity. Batman learns of the stash of kryptonite at Lexcorp and steals it, allowing him to create a Kryptonite-powered suit to defeat Superman. The first Justice League began with Zack Snyder directing, but he was forced to leave the production following a tragedy.
Joss Whedon then came on to finish the film, and it all turned out pretty badly. Joker is an origin story for Batman's greatest villain. It follows Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin Phoenix, a disturbed man who hopes to be a comedian.
We see him transform into the madman known as the Joker. The film also shows us the death of Bruce Wayne's parents once again, just in case you haven't seen it enough. It's hard to place Joker on this timeline for a few reasons. However, in the time since then, Joker has been nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and Warner Bros, the company that owns the rights to Batman, has announced yet another Batman reboot starring Robert Pattinson as Batman.
So it wouldn't shock us if Joker ends up having more to do with the DC Universe. Currently there's no plans for a sequel however. Set for release on 4 March , this latest reboot of the character will take place separately from the ongoing DCEU. You can check out the trailer for the film here. There is no "right order" here, as they're all disconnected and not chronological.
