Batman is arguably the most popular and enduring comic book character ever. Logically, the Caped Crusader has starred in multiple live-action and animated movies over the years.

While her story in the film isn't all that interesting, Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard does deliver a good performance—with the exception of her now-infamous death scene.

Ever the reliable actor, Farrell shines in the role, which is why many have been eagerly anticipating seeing Farrell return to the role in the upcoming series.
