The next major blockbuster film on 2022’s movie slate is The Batman. Headed by acclaimed director Matt Reeves, of Planet of the Apes fame, is looking to set this project apart from other Batman-led films. The Batman will be the 10th live-action film since 1989 where Batman is a leading character. That comes out to one Batman-led or Batman-inclusive film every 3.2 years over the last three decades. That is a lot of Batman on the silver screen.
