The first The Batman movie saw Bruce Wayne looking for more information about an ongoing political conspiracy, while The Riddler (Paul Dano) unleashed a dangerous crime wave upon Gotham. Reeves' blockbuster would eventually reveal secrets kept by the Wayne family for generations. The villain also bombed a large part of the city, causing a massive flood that has crippled Gotham, which ties directly into the events of HBO and Max's The Penguin spin-off.
