The following article contains spoilers for "The Batman."
Paul Dano gave a powerful performance as Edward Nashton, aka The Riddler, in "The Batman." The character was re-imagined as a creepily modern (and realistic) villain who recruits followers online, keeping his identity secret. Nashton started off as a destitute orphan before taking out people he perceives as being rich and corrupt, all the while sending messages to Batman (Robert Pattinson), an individual Nashton thinks will be very pleased with his machinations.
Batman, as a character, is typically defined by his opponents and vice versa. Like The Joker (Heath Ledger) in "The Dark Knight" says to Christian Bale's Caped Crusader, "I don't wanna kill you, what would I do without you? Go back to rippin' off mob dealers? No, no, you complete me." The Riddler in "The Batman" is no different. Edward Nashton has a sense of hero worship for Batman...

Take a look at more images of actress Leslie Grace as DC Comics "Batgirl", from the recently canceled 90 million budgeted live-action superhero feature, directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah:
"...studio insiders insist the decision to cancel the film...
"...was not driven by a desire for a tax write-off...
"...but by the desire for the studio’s slate of DC features...
"...to be at a 'blockbuster' scale..."
The first 'Bat-Girl' aka 'Betty Kane' (named after 'Batman' creator Bob Kane) debuted in DC Comics (1961)...
...created by writer Sheldon Moldoff and illustrator Bill Finger…
...then replaced by 'Barbara Gordon', as the daughter of 'Gotham City' police commissioner 'James Gordon'...
...in "Detective Comics" #359 (1967) by writer Gardner Fox and illustrator Carmine Infantino.
In DC Comics' "New 52" series (2011), 'Barbara Gordon', previously wounded in action as a costumed vigilante, regained her mobility after undergoing experimental surgery at a South African clinic.

Whatever your thoughts on the work on Christopher Nolan, it's fair to say he's one of the biggest filmmakers working today. And it's also fair to say his Dark Knight Trilogy, specifically "The Dark Knight" itself, changed the movie landscape. Nolan's "serious" approach to comic books shifted everything and helped give birth to the current version of Hollywood, for better or worse. Described as a "comprehensive and in-depth study," Ian Nathan's new book "Christopher Nolan: The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work" promises readers something that "delves into the life and works of one of modern films most celebrated, successful and intriguing auteurs." Here's how the synopsis describes things:
This book will crack open the magic box of Nolan's twisting universe. As a character, he eludes easy answers. Veteran film author Nathan's research will lean into deciphering his cryptic pronouncements and motivations alongside the history and making of his films.

Batman: The Long Halloween has been embraced as a superb Batman tale, a solid mystery story, and a superlative effort from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. It has remained in print since its arrival in 1996-97. Warner Animation tackled this in 2021, releasing it in two parts, which I liked when I reviewed them here and here.
The parts have now been sewn together into a far more satisfying single volume, upgraded to 4k Ultra HD, which incrementally enhances the overall enjoyment.
The 13-part story is set early in Batman’s career, with Loeb plumbing the Gotham underworld as established by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli in Batman: Year One. Interfering in Carmine “The Roman” Falcone’s (Titus Welliver) gang operations is the arrival of the Holiday Killer. Tracking him with little effect over the course of a year are Batman (Jensen Ackles) and his grudging allies Captain James Gordon...
