Which Comics Is ‘The Batman’ Based On?

Robert Pattinson as Batman in the Batman

With the release of the new Batman film on March 4th, everyone seems to have caught bat-fever. The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz, brings audiences a fresh re-telling of the Gotham hero. Though the movie is not an exact recreation of any comic, three specific story arcs largely inspired it. Unfortunately, the only cure for bat-fever is more Batman-related content. DC understood this and release a new box set for all the comics that inspired the new movie.
