The Evolution of Batman in Cinema

The DC Comics superhero Batman has had quite a journey through cinema as this supercut from Jacob T. Swinney proves. It shows the Dark Knight’s evolution throughout his time on screen, with clips from the original 1943 TV series, to his first movie in 1966, all the way through to Christopher Nolan’s Christian Bale starring trilogy and Batman’s appearance in last year’s The Lego Movie.
