Rocksteady and WB Games’ iconic Batman: Arkham Trilogy is coming to the Nintendo Switch next month and with it a timed exclusive new suit based on Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ The Batman.

Christopher Nolan gave an impressive non-response to being asked if he's seen The Batman.
"If I start talking about comic book movies, that would be the only thing anybody pays any attention to in the article," Nolan told Variety. He's right and he should say it.
Nolan helmed The Dark Knight trilogy, consisting of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. The darker, grittier take on the Caped Crusader was quite the departure from the goofier, campier portrayals a la Tim Burton and even Adam West's 1960s Batman series, and would go on to change comic book movies as we know them.
After a few years of Batfleck and the Justice League, a darker take on Batman surfaced once again, this time from director Matt Reeves. While it's easy to compare the two, both depictions of Batman and Gotham are masterful in their own rights. Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne is a tortured recluse who still wants to save Gotham from the villains who control it, while Christian Bale's portrayal is more of a straight-up suave debonair action hero who leans into the playboy lifestyle. Both iterations succeed, and both directors haven't really felt the need to comment on each other's work.
Nolan recently helmed the historical summer blockbuster Oppenheimer, which made nearly a billion at the global box office and starred an A-list ensemble cast.
"It’s clear from the box office that audiences are looking for things they haven’t seen before," Nolan told Variety, speaking on the film's success. "We’ve been through a period where it was wonderfully reassuring for studio executives to feel that their franchise properties could go on forever and be predictably successful. But you can’t deny filmgoers’ desire for novelty."
Oppenheimer is set to hit digital platforms on November 22. For more, check out our list of the most exciting upcoming movies in 2023 and beyond.

Zack Snyder has talked about the new DCU – and he could be tempted back with one project in particular.
The critically acclaimed action-adventure game Batman: Arkham Knight is getting a new update very soon.
The suit worn by a certain Robert Pattinson — or Battinson, if you will allow me — in Warner Bros' The Batman film will be available as part of the Arkham Trilogy on Nintendo Switch.
A new skin from the movie The Batman has been officially confirmed for Arkham Knight, a month after it was accidentally added to the PC version of the game.
We’re not exactly sure why Rocksteady believed it was the best time to put the Batman Arkham Trilogy on Nintendo Switch, but they’re doing it, and it’s coming out in a few days. The port will mark yet another system that the games are on, but at least this time, they’re all together once again. A special launch trailer for the trilogy has dropped, and even if you’re not getting the port yourself, you can reminisce about the greatness that these titles had and why we were lucky as gamers to have gotten the chance to be Batman in a way no game had done previously.
Last month, something odd happened in the streets of Gotham. With no prior announcement or fanfare, people booting up Batman: Arkham Knight were greeted with a skin from 2022's The Batman starring Robert Pattinson. But then, as quickly as it appeared, it was removed, all without comment from the developers. While we still don't know exactly why the skin was added accidentally, we know exactly why it was created: it's a timed-exclusive suit launching with the Batman: Arkham Trilogy on Switch.
Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Trilogy is finally coming to Nintendo Switch this week after facing some delays, and a new gameplay trailer is available to showcase all three games. The performance, resolution and graphical quality aren’t too shabby, though we’ll need more extensive comparisons. Check it out below.
It's official: the suit from The Batman is coming to Batman: Arkham Knight. This comes after some players were able to use the suit early, leaking its existence in the game last month.
Tim Burton's original 1989 Batman film casts a very long shadow over the superhero movie genre. Burton conjured a wonderfully gothic vision of Gotham City, while Michael Keaton's wired and dangerous take on the Caped Crusader remains rightly beloved - he certainly won our hearts again this year in The Flash.
Best Buy has an exclusive line of Disney 100 4K Blu-ray discs in Steelbook cases, and it has put them all on offer for Cyber Monday, down to $16.99 from $29.99.
With celebrating its 30th anniversary, there’s been the expected chatter about sequels, reboots, and probably a lone lunatic advocating for a Disney live-action remake. One man who is very much not keen on any of that is its creator .
