Batman is undeniably one of the most beloved and revered pop culture figures of all time. Few comic book superheroes have found as great a success in film and television as the caped crusader has. His introduction to the masses stems all the way back to 1943, in the 15-chapter theatrical serial Batman starring Lewis Wilson. The episodic short films are notable for being the first appearance of Batman in cinema and spawned another 1949 serial Batman and Robin, this time with Robert Lowery. After a brief lull in Hollywood, the DC character returned to screens with a bang (or maybe a 'kapow') in the 1960s Adam West-led Batman series. The campy and light-hearted show became an instant classic and to this day is adored for its whimsical portrayal of the hero.

Jim Carrey's Riddler in Batman Forever was a perfect incarnation of the villain - even better than Paul Dano's take on the character for The Batman. While Joel Schumacher's Batman films may have left a lot to be desired in some aspects, they weren't entirely without merit. In fact, one of the best decisions Schumacher made in his Batman films was casting Jim Carrey as the Riddler in 1995's Batman Forever.

Dick Grayson has been an essential part of the Batman story since its first onscreen romp. Burt Ward portrayed Robin, Batman’s ward and sidekick, in 1966’s Batman: The Movie and the original television series based on the film and the DC comics. Now, The Lego Batman Movie follows the story of Batman and Robin as they hustle to save Gotham from the Joker and a host of other bad guys — and, Robin is the best part of the whole movie.

Just when you think Zack Snyder's dark and brooding DC Extended Universe couldn't get any more grim, a minute detail from 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has hinted at the horrific way Robin died. With whispers that the upcoming Snyder Cut of the director's Justice League could see this moment play out via flashback, fans had better cover their eyes. It isn't going to be pretty.

Everyone knows Robin as the Boy Wonder, the sidekick to the Caped Crusader, Batman. They may even know that Robin was apart of the Teen Titans for a while in between his crime-fighting adventures with the Dark Knight. But many of those who aren't die-hard fans don't realize that there is actually more than one Robin, more than two even.

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an intricate puzzle in which each piece finds its perfect place, the DC Universe is a Gordian knot, complicated by aborted overarching storytelling plans and less continuity in more recent films. There is certainly a way to watch the DC movies in order, but you’ll find some films make more sense than others, while some feel completely disconnected from the DCEU at large. This is no fault of the filmmakers, of course, as Warner Bros. was playing catch-up with the MCU and trying to build to their own team-up movie “Justice League” as quickly as possible, resulting in a bit of a slapdash approach to universe-building.
