The Batman – REVIEW
Noch regelmäßiger als Spider-man wird der Comicheld Batman neu aufgelegt und interpretiert. Im Gegensatz zur freundlichen Spinne aus der Nachbarschaft sind die Kontraste hier allerdings auch meist etwas deutlicher. Deshalb widmen wir uns in dieser Folge Matt Reeves‘ „The Batman“. Vom Vampir zur Fledermaus aufgestiegen, trägt dieses Mal Robert Pattinson das Kostüm des dunklen Ritters. Passt er da genau so gut rein wie sein von Fans geliebter Vorgänger Christian Bale?
