    Only a bit longer than average for Batman.

    • Batman (1989) -> Batman Returns (1992), 3 years.
    • Batman Begins (2005) -> The Dark Knight (2008), 3 years.
    • The Dark Knight (2008) -> The Dark Knight Rises (2012), 4 years.

    Plus The Penguin technically kept the universe going on between films.

      Yes, it might seem long with respect to the yearly releases of superhero movies today. But it is not new, especially when considering standalone franchises like The Batman, Nolan’s Batman, Raimi’s Spider-Man (3 year gap between second and third instalments).

      With TDKR, the wait was far more intense with very little information about the movie, and rumours abound with how the Joker would be handled. My friends and I had zero interest in Harry Potter but we still attended the movie on the opening day since the teaser for TDKR was attached to the Deathly Hallows.
