Batman: Every Live-Action Gotham City Ranked Worst To Best

If the Joel Schumacher movies went for neon extravagance, and Tim Burton's pictures went for rich gothic charm, Matt Reeves' The Batman served up its Gotham City as an unsettling, sombre backdrop for Robert Pattinson's Batman to fight the good fight.

Due to the extensive runtime - hey there, three hours! - audiences actually get to see a fair old bit of The Batman's Gotham. Whilst often dark and ominous, this is a city that very much feels alive - even if its alive with all kinds of underhand, nefarious deeds.

Here, Pattinson's Dark Knight doesn't necessarily have a fondness for his home city, but more he's dutybound to crack skulls and stop others from making Gotham even more of a cesspit than it is. Grandiose yet intimate, beautifully lit yet depressingly dim, this is a Gotham City that very much matches its version of Batman.

Tonally, this is a Gotham that feels like it was directly pulled from the pages of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's work on the Bat-books of the past decade or so - and let's face it, that unequivocably is not a bad thing.
