15 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept To Enjoy Batman Movies

10. Batman Is Often The Least Interesting Character

When you actually think about it, Batman should always be the most interesting character in these films, given that he's playing the titular hero. And yet fans of the iconic superhero have been forced to accept that Batman has been playing second fiddle to other, more interesting characters for decades.

Because the other characters in Batman movies - be they villains, sidekicks, or members of the Gotham City Police Department - seem to linger in your memory banks a lot more than the lead actors do. In the Nolan films, for example, you come away thinking of Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, and Tom Hardy - even though many would argue that Christian Bale is the big screen's best Batman.

It seems odd to think that Batman often isn't the element of the franchise that draws most of us to the cinema. It's the stuff that gravitates around him.
