Batman Fans Are Debating If The Batman Is Better Than The Dark Knight

The Batman is now out in theaters and the reaction from both critics and fans alike seems to be that Matt Reeves has made one of the best Batman movies ever. But is it THE best? We’ve done our own official ComicBook Batman Movie Rankings, but every fan is certainly going to have their own list. The question being debate on social media is whether the undisputed king of Batman movies – The Dark Knight – is still king now that The Batman is here. 

Without a doubt director Matt Reeves has done something special with his vision of Batman – but is it better than what Christopher Nolan achieved with his epic Batman vs. Joker crime-thriller? 

Here’s what social media is saying:
