Batman begins yet again this March — and this time he’s played by Robert Pattinson, who’ll be making his debut as DC’s Dark Knight in The Batman. With director Matt Reeves’ movie — which is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews — coming out this weekend, now’s the time to take a look back at every pre-Pattinson actor who’s played the Caped Crusader. Altogether, 11 actors have taken on the part in cinematic history; nine in live action, and two in animation. So let’s go back in time to remind ourselves of the Men who were Batman.
Lewis Wilson
The man who has the honor of being the very first actor to don the cape and (in his case, oversized) cowl is Lewis Wilson, who played the part in the 1943 Batman movie serial, which hit screens just four years after the hero’s creation in the pages of Detective Comics in 1939. While not a major star himself, Wilson’s son, Michael G. Wilson, became the co-producer of the James Bond movies.
