The Arkham Knight is a 2027 American superhero thriller film based on the DC Comics characters Vicki Vale and the Arkham Knight, the latter named after the Batman: Arkham series version of Jason Todd. Produced by DC Studios, Legendary Pictures, and The Stone Quarry and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the first installment in the Arkham Knight film series. The film was directed by Adam Wingard from a screenplay by Zack Snyder, David S. Goyer, and Peter Safran, and stars Mia Goth as Vale alongside John Slattery, Michael B. Jordan, Maya Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ving Rhames, Andrew Lincoln, Laura Linney, Michelle Pfeiffer, David Morse, and Matthew Lillard as James Gordon. Set in the modern day of Gotham City, it follows Vale as an investigative journalist who works with the GCPD to solve several murders against the city's corrupt elite citizens by a masked female figure while also questioning the only possible suspect, Astrid Arkham. The Arkham Knight had its world premiere at the 84th Venice International Film Festival on November 1st, 2027, and opened in theaters a few weeks later on November 19th; the film received universal acclaim from critics and fans, who praised its visuals, direction, unique storyline, atmosphere, Hans Zimmer's musical score, themes, performances (particularly Goth's), and plot twist. It was a financial success, grossing $539 million worldwide against a budget of $168 million. Two follow-ups are in development; one of which will be a prequel detailing the Arkham Knight's origins, and the other will be a proper sequel.
