Some fans, for example, prefer Batman: The Animated Series featuring Kevin Conroy’s memorable voice.

The Many Iterations of the Caped Crusader For other big franchises, especially the Marvel and Star Wars Universe, it’s easy to watch the movies in chronological order — the order of in-universe events, not the release date.
When it comes to Batman movies, his story has been retold so many times that events in one series have little to do with events in another.
The Adam West Era Compared to Christian Bale’s gravelly voice in The Dark Knight, Adam West’s take on Batman was much more personable.
The first big-screen adaptation of the Batman will forever belong to the man in tights. Interestingly, Bale claims that West’s version is one of his favorites. “I love watching Adam West,” he told Entertainment Tonight in March 2016.
West starred in the ultra-popular Batman television series in the 1960s, where a campy version of the hero and his sidekick Robin, played by Burt Ward, always prevailed.
Batman: The Movie (1966) In between the TV show’s first and second seasons, West earned the cinematic treatment with a feature-length film.
The movie included many of Batman’s most popular enemies from the television series, including the Joker, the Riddler and the Penguin. West’s version gave the iconic Batman theme song, which is still featured in various DC animated series and amusement park rides.

**This review may contain some potential unavoidable spoilers about the basics of “Biosphere,’ spoilerphobes, please beware and return after you have seen the movie.** A film like “Biosphere” poses a genuine conundrum for the film critic, who is tasked with the job of describing, in some detail, a film that counts among its best qualities the element of absurdist surprise. Its only plot description at the time of this writing, on the TIFF website (where it was added, quite close to the festival, as a “special surprise screening”), reads simply, “In the not-too-distant future, the last two men on earth must adapt and evolve to save humanity.” Well, that sounds like any number of science fiction pictures, while “in the not-too-distant future” recalls “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” The film itself falls somewhere in between.
Joe Biden is going to pay his respects.

Zack Sharf “The Flash” is not the only upcoming movie starring Ezra Miller that is being forced to contend with the actor’s recent controversies. The upcoming Toronto International Film Festival will close with the premiere of Mary Harron’s “Dalíland,” which features Miller in a small supporting role as a young Salvador Dalí. Ben Kingsley stars in the film more prominently as an adult Dalí. Harron confirmed to Vanity Fair that Miller is not being cut out of the film. “The film was completely finished and wrapped,” Harron said. “It might have been different, especially if we were shooting, if there had been bad behavior during that. But this all happened after the film was not only filmed, but edited and mixed and done. I also felt like everybody shot all those things in good faith. Nothing bad happened during our filming, and the film is the film.”
