Bruce Wayne, also known by his superhero vigilante persona Batman, is a fictional character who is the main protagonist in Christopher Nolan's trilogy of superhero films, based on the DC Comics character of the same name, created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Portrayed by Christian Bale, this version of Batman is arguably explored more in-depth compared to that of the previous film series by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher, as the Dark Knight film series provides a full arc for the character and was intended by Nolan to be more realistic than previous portrayals.

In the films, Bruce is the billionaire owner of the technology firm Wayne Enterprises. After witnessing the murder of his parents at age eight and motivated by his love for Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal), Bruce travels the world to train to fight crime, returning to claim inheritance of his father's company. Subsequently, he begins fighting crime in Gotham City as Batman, using advanced military-predicated technology in doing so and basing his persona on conquering his fear of bats, starting his path as a hero.

Bale's portrayal of Batman has often been considered one of the greatest of the character in film, and has also been credited with the success of the Dark Knight film series, with the latter two films both grossing over $1 billion each, and thus, the restoration of public interest in Batman in the 21st century.

Batman[b] is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by the artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and debuted in the 27th issue of the comic book Detective Comics on March 30, 1939. In the DC Universe, Batman is the alias of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American playboy, philanthropist, and industrialist who resides in Gotham City. His origin story features him swearing vengeance against criminals after witnessing the murder of his parents, Thomas and Martha, as a child, a vendetta tempered by the ideal of justice. He trains himself physically and intellectually, crafts a bat-inspired persona, and monitors the Gotham streets at night. Kane, Finger, and other creators accompanied Batman with supporting characters, including his sidekicks Robin and Batgirl; allies Alfred Pennyworth and James Gordon; love interest Catwoman; and foes such as the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, and his archenemy, the Joker.

Kane conceived Batman in early 1939 to capitalize on the popularity of Superman; although Kane frequently claimed sole creation credit, Finger substantially developed the concept from a generic superhero into something more bat-like. They drew inspiration from pulp fiction characters like the Shadow and Sherlock Holmes. Batman received a spin-off publication, Batman, in 1940. Kane and Finger introduced Batman as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals, but he evolved into a just, disciplined superhero with a stringent moral code that prohibits killing during the 1940s. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth. The 1960s Batman television series used a camp aesthetic, which continued to be associated with Batman for years after it ended. Various creators worked to return Batman to his darker roots in the 1970s and 1980s, culminating with the 1986 miniseries The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

DC has featured Batman in many comic books, including comics published under its imprints such as Vertigo and Black Label; he has been considered DC's flagship character since the 1990s. The longest-running Batman comic, Detective Comics, is the longest-running comic book in the United States. Batman is frequently depicted alongside other DC superheroes, such as Superman and Wonder Woman, as a member of organizations such as the Justice League and the Outsiders. In addition to Bruce Wayne, other characters used the Batman persona, such as Jean-Paul Valley / Azrael in the 1993–1994 "Knightfall" story arc; Dick Grayson, the first Robin, from 2009 to 2011; and Jace Fox, the son of Wayne's ally Lucius, since 2021. DC has also published comics featuring alternate versions of Batman, including the incarnation seen in The Dark Knight Returns and its successors, the incarnation from the Flashpoint (2011) event, and numerous interpretations in comics published under the Elseworlds label.

Would you have liked to see Nicholson’s joker return for Batman Returns? (He was originally planned to do so.)

[Graphix]

I always assumed they just colored his real hair. That was a convincing wig

[brianholcomb]

The man is talking about wigs and lighting effects, and still sounds criminally, insane and intimidating AF😂

[adamjenkins]

Jack is still my favorite Joker. Heath was great, Phoenix was great. I like every joker, live action or voice, except Leto. Jack is my personal favorite.

[dewrite]

I can never unsee him as The Joker! That's how you know he was born to play that role!

[ArtDaddy]

Even though people know that he is one of the greatest actors of all time, I’m always surprised at how little people realize just how committed Nicholson was to his craft. Every time you see him interview, he is so nuanced and respectful of the process.

[spiritchild]

Nicholson’s joker was the perfect amount of humor and psychopath. The first Batman is still my favorite. Everything after doesn’t even come close. 🎸It’s like a perfect tune that was played one time, and the artist could never recreate the magic.

[ThatsOneNiceKitty]

I bet he’s not allergic to spirit gum, he just says that so he doesn’t have to deal with it.

[leafyishereisdumbnameakath]

the fact he saw details like the hair being shaded green not green shows he was a true fan

[youngcnyce]

By far the best Joker ever, Jack embodied the Joker perfectly in addition to being humorous.

[cubapete]

Every actor who portrayed the Joker brought in their own flavour to the character, and Jack Nicholson will always be my favourite version.

[Danilo-fe]

He is the best JOKER, no ifs, ands or but about

[HardluckHutch]

Everyone will say Ledger, but I still think he’s the best.

[Koofumhead]

Everyone loves Heath Ledger, but Jack Nicholson was my favourite in this role, perhaps the best was Cesar Romero.

[winklenator]

I think Nicholson and Keaton were both incredible in their roles. The bar was set really high

[xombi]

Jack is the best classic rendition of the joker that has ever seen film.

[Mike-fqy]

Jack was born to play the joker he has the smile and face he did a fantastic job.

[MikeWhite-nl]

And Bob... ( imitating Jack Palance) YOU -hisss ARE MY NUMBER ONE -hisss - GUYYYY! Love it! 😈👍

[fouratiwassim]

Heath ledger gave it psychopathic or disordered person on the other hand jack gave it satiric violent childish one like Stanley Kubrick clock orange vibe it is different both were amazing tbh

[dshamzoo]

He actually sounds like the joker in the in the interview
