Ehkä liiankin usein elokuvissa nähty supersankaritarina on kyseisen päähenkilön alkuperä eli se, millaisen tapahtumaketjun seurauksena kyseinen hahmo supersankariksi muuttui.
The Nerdistille puhunut ohjaaja Matt Reeves kertoi, tulossa oleva The Batman keskittyy kyllä aiempaa nuorempaan Lepakkomieheen, mutta ei kuitenkaan ole tällainen perinteinen alkuperätarina.
"I wanted to do not an origin tale, but a tale that would still acknowledge his origins, in that it formed who he is. Like this guy, he's majorly struggling, and this is how he's trying to rise above that struggle. But that doesn't mean that he even fully understands, you know. It's that whole idea of the shadow self and what's driving you, and how much of that you can incorporate, and how much of it you're doing that you're unaware of."
Ensi-iltaan The Batmanin pitäisi saapua juhannuksen tienoilla 2021.
