Hey, love your videos and rewatching your video above brought me to watch the movie again and I think I found something. So, in the Batman x Riddler scene where Bruce hears him say his name over and over, it brings us to think he knows Batmans identity. However, when the conversation proceeds, he skims it off by saying he was the only target they didn't get. - allowing us and everyone in the cinema hear Bruce take that breath of alleviation. HOWEVER.. when the scene starts, and they see each other, Riddler says "I told you I'd see you in Hell", remembering the message he sent Bruce Wayne. thus making you think... IF that's the case, Riddler KNOWS Batmans Identity, but rather have kept it to himself, and if you ask me, this riddler portrayed by Paul Dano is so smart, we can see him being Hush, which is one fantastic story. but then again, it could be a mistake.. Let me know if you already knew about this and I'll take down the comment. Thx
This ain’t a comic book movie… this is a graphic novel movie. Really, really blown away. 3hours of pure passion - elements of noir, Chinatown, Zodiac, silence of the lambs, Seven, The Crow, horror movies… A character driven masterpiece. The cinematography, sound design, lighting, inspirations… even the Colour of Money reference. Normally these films focus on the villain - but to have Batman the focus for 75% of the movie was brave and it worked. Just sooooo good. Best Batman movie, best Batman, best comic/novel movie… WOW
I respectfully disagree. I found the 3 hour run time way too long. Catwomen and riddler were just bad. Falcone was badly casted. Gordon was kind of just there. I do think Robert and Colin were great. But everything else just fell short. I found myself bored at times. And even checked my phone to see how much time was left. Sadly I was only 2 hours in at that point. Hopefully their sequel or flush out all this stuff and hopefully they'll recast that catwomen. We can only hope.
People are allowed to feel how they want to feel about The Batman. The only thing i hate is that people keep comparing it to the Dark Knight, when the goal should have never been for it to be better. TDK is a SEQUEL to Batman Begins. Let’s compare The Batman to Batman Begins; surely it is a much better film. The Batman sets up a great universe with the possibility of an EVEN BETTER sequel. I am betting that Battinson’s trilogy will be the best trilogy of Batman films we’ve seen.
Love the ending, after Batman’s famous quote “I’m Vengeance” is taken into quite serious turn by several people using it in their own way. Catwoman wanting to kill her father and Riddler impersonators. And the way he seems to drop it entirely is by being actual HERO at the end, when he lights up the flare. People are shown not trusting him until the little boy takes the first step, and others follow him, as Batman leads them out of the darkness. And when he carried that lady to the chopper, she didn’t want to let go, but she only lets go after being comforted by Batman.
Thats the reason why in my opinion this is the best Batman we got so far. It is the we he transformed from vengeance vigilante to the hero and symbol of hope he actually should be. I can see people drawing bat signs on their doors in a rise of high crime to somehow protect themselves because they actually trust in batman to protect them and not just be a self righteous masked figure. :D Thats the point the christian bale Batman only reached in the end of the trilogy by faking his death. :-/ Don’t misunderstand me Christian Bale ist still the better Batman by performing the role.
When I saw that it made the movie even better and especially the character Batman. The movie is already great but that scene alone with Batman trying to be more than just vengeance and fear to the people but giving hope is the hardest thing to do and it was such a beautiful scene seeing Batman really trying to help and cut the electric line and he just never rest until everyone is safe
It is a long movie and I didn’t want it to end. The suit looks great and when your looking at him from behind, it looks straight out the Arkham games :)
The Batmobile deserves a spinoff!!! What a ducking reveal! The acting, directing, cinematography and score was phenomenal! Also Battinson's eyes were also stunning to watch. Batman's eyes spoke when his mouth didn't.
I really loved that “HUSH” reference we got when they did the reporter backstory scene. Although I kinda feel like I may have been the only one in theater to get the reference, as no one else really seemed as coked out excited as I was with this particular scene.
Haha that was me last night my movie theater was packed but it sucked cause I literally geeked when I seen HUSH and just other references to the movie that I felt literally flew by everyone else’s head 😂
Yeah I was confused I thought it was going to play out different after seeing hush. He had the same name Elliot. Think that kid could be a robin down the line?
Literally just got out the theatre. It was amazing! This Batman is brutal and more realistic as far as fighting and him being human. It shows his detective side as well as him being obsessed with fighting crime. This is a young inexperienced Batman. The Riddler and Penguin were spot on too. So was Catwoman.
I was wondering what it was like as far as the feel of the movie thank you for your graphic explanation of it. It truly is appreciated. That's how I walked out of the second Batman with Heath ledger in it. I remember thinking who the hell is going to have to follow that and Tom Hardy managed pretty well. But it was the big scope of the show that did the massive difference.
Did not want this movie to end. It's was so good. The batmobile reveal and chase topped it off for me. One of the best movie experiences for me since return of the king and endgame. Can't wait to see it again
Riddler doesn't know Batman's identity. Lot of people misunderstood that scene because it's subtle, but in fact he doesn't care about who's behind the mask, it's just a misunderstanding to create tension for Batman and of course for us.
@@londonladxxx He just hates Bruce that much, I thought he knew too, but once he mentioned "he's(Bruce) the only one that WE didn't get" that's when we the audience and Batman as well was relieved that he didn't know.
@@Nomad-yp3un I just hope the studio doesn’t interfere for the second of them because they clearly let Matt Reeves do what he wanted this whole film. Possibly a little bit too long but I can’t complain
@@Nomad-yp3un I can’t see this film making 1 billion Batman begins only made $330m. This film is to make around $440 million to break even I think it will make around $700 million
This movie had me blown away. The characters, the story, the visuals, the score was PERFECT for this version of Batman. I will say, some things were a little drawn out and slow, but I don’t believe we would’ve gotten as good of an understanding for the city and characters that are already established. That opening scene with the riddler PERFECTLY establishes the tone and the direction of where we’re going to be for the next 3 hours and then hearing Batman / Bruce Wayne’s voice over, put the biggest smile on my face, and seeing how much Gotham’s criminals fear the Batman within that scene plus the score playing as he walks out of the darkness literally made my eyes start watering. This movie is art, truly a masterpiece. Robert Pattinson is my favorite Batman, he is The Batman. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman is my favorite live action on screen adaptation for sure, same with Collin Ferrel and Paul Dano as the penguin and riddler (and the penguin isn’t even in his power yet). Jeffrey Wright KILLED it as Gordon and I absolutely loved his and Batman’s dynamic throughout the movie. I would’ve loved more with Alfred and Bruce, but i honestly understand why some of that probably had to be sacrificed in order to tell the story properly without it being a 4 hour movie (that was the original runtime). We wanted a detective Batman movie and Matt Reeves delivered, it was so cool being able to see him actually investigating and doing a lot of detective work, he’s the worlds greatest detective and it’s shown here. I want more of this Batman and more of this story (even though that joker cameo at the end kind of felt shoehorned in there), I’m so excited to get more of this world and characters. This is truly the best, if not, a VERY VERY close second to TDK.
I just got back from seeing this in the theater...hands down the best Batman movie ever made. The 3 hour runtime did not feel long at all and the way the detective scenes were shot were amazing. Matt Reeves is a genius and just nailed the Batman character perfectly. He even included a uncharacteristic mistake that Batman made during his investigation which I thought was absolutely brilliant because this is a young Batman who would be more likely to make mistakes because he's not as seasoned just yet.
I love how Batman breaks down the riddles really quickly, so I am glad Matt showcased the intelligence of Batman that was so desperately missing in past movies as well as his detective skills. His buddy cop with Gordon throughout was amazing He is intelligent but still make mistakes because he is still young, he is still reckless and his anger needs to be restraint at times , he isn’t invincible and couple of gun shots wears him down He might not know it all, but he is becoming the world”s greatest detective , we see that unfold in this whole trilogy
@@justinwilhelm3228 I just watched it. A gross fragment of what Batman represents, You somehow seem to think this garbage was a huge hit. I have an idea. Move out of your parents basement. Get a job , and )$*&^#$@^%$*&^%. Have a nice day.
@@e3vL1 I don't agree. You have to understand that he is in a mental institution and he had spent so much time planning it and seeing everything going EXACTLY to the T. Until the very end, when Batman, Gordon and Catwoman foiled his final act, he absolutely lost it. Because the man is certifiably, batshit (pardon the pun) crazy! When a crazy person's end goal isn't reached, they lose their shit!
@@e3vL1 yeah that exactly how I felt about Riddler too. He was sinister at the beginning. Wouldn't want to mess with that Riddler. Reminded me of Jigsaw. Second act he was a little bitch.
I tried looking for flaws. But the end of the movie fixed them. I was unsure about the whole Catwoman/Falcone side quest but it turns out it was all connected. Brilliant. I loved how even though the Riddler himself was behind bars, with no way out, he was still a huge threat, having zealots crazy enough to form an army of him. The Batman is truly a world’s greatest detective movie, something I don’t think we’ve ever gotten before. Sure, every Batman movie has at least 1 or 2 detective scenes, but this one had several, which took up the majority of the runtime. The darkness is also the closest we’ve come to the comics for a Batman movie. Even The Dark Knight trilogy wasn’t as scary as this movie alone. This. Is. The Batman, the movie that deserves its title more than any other movie ever has
The parallels were delightful, like how in all the times Batman told Selina to take care, she always said, "I can take care of myself" Except in their final exchange, she didn't respond. Which shows the development of their relationship and certain trust. Then the scene where they go back to Selinas apartment, they do so together. Because their goals are the same. And in the end, they go together until they part their separate ways. Symbolizing their core differences. The penguin walk when he's tied up, was such a great touch. The Riddler wanted them both to be in Arkham together and in his mind, they did everything together. Complementing eachother every step of the way. And I think a certain message can be found. Which is worse? The acts of the Riddler? Or the acts of corruption enacted by the people in power? Absolute MASTERPIECE
The guy who speaks to Bruce in the church saying, "he got what he deserved" looked a lot like the guy at the end who says, "I am vengeance". He also looked like Joe Chill from Joker 2019.
@@karimw.9954 I meant the implication was that the guy in the church was the sniper at the end. It would be very interesting if he'd played Joe Chill as well though
This movie definitely reaches passed my expectations by a land slide, it truly felt like a batman movie and felt very realistic. In my opinion I love this version of the riddler a lot, he felt very dark like the tone of the movie. And I didn’t just like the riddler a lot, I loved everyone in this movie.
I think it’s great achievement for the super hero genre as a whole. It breaks conventions on how we perceive the genre and is well made. It has great actors, story and is completely unique from the copy paste super hero movies we’re spoon fed
Some things maybe people didn’t pick up on: Bruce said his dad took the hypocrite oath, doctors swear to do no harm but in letting Falcone live, he did harm 😂 also when Oz is bound, he waddles like a penguin
The problem I always had with Chris Nolan's Batman was no blood, was supposed to be all realistic and yet was shot for PG. Batman needs the violent darkness to work and I was never seriously worried about anyone dying or getting hurt in those movies.
??? When Rachel died… Harvey got burned viciously… etc if they added blood more so like you’re saying to those movies it would have gone on to be the best comic film of all time. The fact that Nolan’s Batman has more gadgets… detective wise too. And I understand this is his 2nd year as Batman and finding his way. I loved the movie but it just has more zodiac killer mixed with Batman’s detective comics. True to the comics but all in all it just didn’t have that solid villain most movies need. There weren’t any iconic scenes on par with dark knight… it has its moments but not on level with dark knight
Why did you need blood to prove that the violence that was taking place? If people were getting sliced by knives up close and flowers were pouring out of the veins I’d understand your issue otherwise what would have the blood added to the story???
Rewatching the Nolan trilogy, my biggest problem is the fight scenes. They are all shaky cam cuts, and are pretty terrible imo. And I can no longer stop hearing Pete Holmes when I hear Christian Bale. His batman voice is so meme-able at this point. The Dark Knight is still a fantastic movie, but not without its flaws. Without Heath, it would not have been considered as brilliant as it is.
I also felt the new Batman movie didn’t have that iconic fight/driving scene. Dark knight had a much better car scene. the Batman had better choreography fights but it felt like filler. This is just being Nit picking
@@macnero4932 I get you. The Batman is a film noir detective story. The fights were not the focus, but when he did, it was way better shot or choreographed as you said. I absolutely hate the tumbler as the batmobile. Battinsons batmobile is way better imo along with the chase scene. I think the prequel comic helps knowing how he built it himself. And the reveal was amazing. The sound of it revving up gave me chills. Plus it didn't destroy the whole city like the tumbler did, which I always laugh at him jumping roof to roof causing thousands of dollars of damage. But to each there own. Let's all just be happy that we get all these variations of such a beloved character. I'm just so excited to see what Matt Reeves does with this universe going forward.
Just saw the movie. Matt Reeves is genius combining different depictions and elements of Batman to make this movie. Not to be that guy but a very diverse cast. No one mentioned the guy running for mayor , his kid potentially being Robin. Great take on Batman being a detective. The most awesome part of the movie is Batman helping the people at the end which turned him from vigilante to justice really getting a better understanding of why he wears the cape.
@@kamichan127 Yes , it almost seemed like they foreshadowed it in the opening scene when he was using martial arts in the house. Also in this version of Batman they both lose their father as politicians running for Mayor. If he is Robin , Bruce won’t keep secrets from him as Alfred did.
@@koncise0363 yeah I just saw it again myself and 100% that kids got to be Robin I also thought this time around like lol he's wearing red and looks like red hood kind of
No mention of Robin? The orphan will %100 be robin, the opening scene the kid is play fighting with a sword with his dad.. and then has 3 more scenes with Bruce who obviously see’s something in the kid

I completely agree with your assessment, in like EVERY way lol... I instantly tried to calm myself down from the hype after I walked out of the theater yesterday, and when I finally did, I said to myself, "ok. How does it compare to The Dark Knight...?" And the only answer I could come up with was that I really couldn't compare them... THE BATMAN is the Batman movie for hardcore, adult, BATMAN fans. This is the style, version, and feel of Batman that we've wanted to see for a long time. It was Silence of the Lambs meets Se7en meets Zodiac meets Year One meets Long Halloween lol...it was a "whodunnit" so to speak, with intense Batman fight scenes sprinkled throughout. I felt like standing up and cheering after the 1st 20 min or so, after we meet the Riddler and are introduced to Batman...and though the "wham BAM thrill ride!" of it all was minimal, the 1st 80 min or so, I just felt BLOWN AWAY. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.... I'm seeing it again tomorrow (with 3 other people who didn't see it, so that's always fun),,so I feel I may have a better grasp on if I believe it is indeed THE BEST, or equal to, or just a hair under TDK... But my immediate impressions is just like I had been saying in comments on this very channel, as well as others, for months; that this is THE definitive Batman movie AND performance, and that all other future Batman movies will need to follow this style-- after, of course, Matt and Robert are done with Batman (which I hope they aren't for a lonnnnnng time!)
Matt Reeves is the only director who managed to make a movie with the essence of comic books. A dirty, gothic, corrupt, and unequal Gotham city. A complex story that holds the viewer from beginning to end. This movie is the only movie that is better than Nolan's dark knight
I think the thing that stood out for me was background score. Throughout the film it goes so well with the cinematography, that even for a moment it doesn't let boredom get in your head. Also the cinematography, action sequences and amazing camera work was top notch. Must watch this film in as big screen as you find. Great experience.
Idk how I feel about that joker laugh lol also I honestly don’t want to see another joker for a long time I feel like we should explore more of Batman’s Villians but fantastic movie it really had my jaw dropped the entire time and jeez I stayed until the end credit just for the riddler to say goodbye to me lmao
Couldn't agree more, the last five minutes really left a sour taste in my mouth. It should've cut after the narration when he's comforting the girl. The Joker reveal was so out of place, along with the Catwoman outro.
@@x_master_xtop410 but just image if we got clay face,mr freeze,calendar man,scarecrow,and Hugo strange as the main villains in this Batman universe that would be insane
@@mrebear9758 yea there was a lot of things that was not right in the film i thought it was good though but to me not TDK level but i love robert as batman! Jeffery wright as gordon was great as well but gary oldman will forever be the best gordon
Just got back from watching, The scene when the bat mobile turns on had to be one of the craziest things I experienced especially in IMAX, I felt like a little kid!
Did anyone else get major Court of Owls/Talon vibes with reference to El Rata Alada and during the scene with DA's mention of Gotham's Elite/Officials secretly controlling the city from the shadows/behind the scenes because he refuses to name the rat right before the bomb explodes at the funeral? Maybe The Riddler also knows about the Court of Owls? Maybe Thomas and Martha Wayne had a connection to the Court of Owls?
SPOILER ALERT: But I assume if you're watching you've seen the movie. Heavy have to ask your take on the 3rd Act climax when Catwoman is being attacked by one of Riddler's goons did Batman inject himself with some type of "venom"? He just goes ape shit afterwards...Bgood
Sorry man. I thought it best to see the movie before I let myself hope too much, but yeah that was freaking incredible and you were a hundred percent right. Amazing film. My son that passed away two years ago to a brain tumor (just before he would have turned four) loved Batman. And though I wouldn't have taken him to see this in the theatre if he had never been sick, because this isn't a movie for a six year old, I took one of his Batman toys in my pocket. He is the reason why I stopped looking down on superheroes and started enjoying them. I just really wish he were here to see this when he was older (oh! That's not even in the top ten million reasons I wish he were still here) because he absolutely loved Batman and I know that he would have, when old enough, been the happiest person alive at just how amazing that was. Absolutely perfect.
It IS better than The Dark Knight, wholeheartedly. THIS is Batman through and through, a gritty detective noir. I was on the edge of my seat, smiling at the screen like a damn idiot. Absolutely LOVED it
The Dark knight being a “blockbuster” and this movie being a “film” is accurate….both are GREAT! But I can see the dark knight still being #1 because it was very easy to digest for general audiences who aren’t familiar with Batman and everything that comes with that character
Yes the dark knight it great. It still is number 1 for sure but this Batman was really good something about the dark knight and the dark knight rises is flawless
Seriously it’s like Reeves took Scorsese‘s comment, about super hero movies not being real Cinema, to heart and he made an excellent film.. this is one of the best movies ever made. It is not simply a “super hero” blockbuster flick… it has an indie/art house vibe to it and I am here for it. This IS the DEFINITIVE Batman!
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention this, but I can’t help but notice that Colin Farrell’s Penguin felt like a direct nod to Robert Deniro’s Al Capone from Untouchables.
Just imagine if the Joker scene was like this: Joker: What is more valuable, the less you have? Riddler: A friend. Joker: and in a card game, the Joker *And then he starts laughing*
The Hush Easter eggs were the first ones that really stood out to me, Edward Elliot in the movie being the father of the Thomas Elliot aka Hush is the perfect set-up for the sequel's villain. In the comics, Tommy has an intense grudge against the Waynes and that could be incorporated in the sequel as him blaming them for his father's death and plotting his revenge against Bruce Wayne.
That fake out making us think The Riddler knew Bruce's identity was an interesting choice. I was hoping he actually had figured it out. It would've been cool to see what he did with that information.
He did, didn’t he? He was talking about how Bruce thinks he’s an orphan but he’s not the same as the riddler because he had to share 5 people to a room with rats and how a baby would die every winter because it was so cold.
@@iwatchmovies2much afterwards he complains that bruce was the only guy he didnt get, and it clicked to batman that he wasnt caught like he thought he was
@@iwatchmovies2much honestly, I believe it can be interrupted anyway, but for me I’d go with the take out take. He seemed so out of touch and nuts that I honestly couldn’t tell. He did mention that he succeeded in every way, except for the attempt on Bruce’s life.
That part was awesome for me. The movie did such a good job of making you think he absolutely knew Bruce was Batman. But that reveal was so satisfying and an "oh shit" moment for me. He 100% had no idea who Batman really was. The dialogue makes it crystal clear and you can see Batman's reaction when he realizes he doesnt know. It was perfect.
I’ve been following up on this movie since a freshman in college, in 2019. Im living in a dream right now with having finally seen this movie. This is the best take on Batman ever, most realistic and accurate Batman to date and most likely will be for a very long time if not forever, Pattinson nailed it everyone nailed it, it feels like The Long Halloween thrown right into the damn screen in live action. Groundbreaking movie just as I expected, a dream come true. Can’t wait to see it again and again to find more things I didn’t pick up on before. Matt Reeves is the goat.
The way the story unfolded like a detective Batman DC graphic novel was such a breath of fresh air. I love how Reeves stuck to his convictions on how he wanted to portray Batman and have the Batman movie stand alone instead of finding a way how it can fit with the DC cinematic universe. It shows that he really wanted to pay credit to the source material his own way and the best way he knew how, and it really shows in the writing, the beautiful cinematography, and developmental arches of all the characters. Now I’m really torn on which movie I like better- The Batman or Dark Knight Returns!
The dark knight movies feel like Hollywood and the Batman feels more like comics. I loove the dark knight movies but when it comes to the Lore the Batman actualy IS the best Btamam movie
I say Pattinson's Batman will last more than his first trilogy. It seems like Reeves is building up this universe as those similar to the Arkham games. Arkham Asylum here will be compiled of many of Batman's Rogues Gallery. And we should see Riddler make his return once he and several other villains get let loose and hopefully see him in his more comic accurate look with the green suit and cane
The movie is really good and at the end it shows how batman finally realises that he doesn’t need to terrorise the thugs but actually help out the people who need him…it can be led up to a potential in a sequel where we see that he has matured since this is year 2 batman he is pretty rageful and doesn’t care about anything
This movie was soooooo good!!!! I loved that it wasn’t full of action. I liked the story line and it was just a damn good movie. Was not expecting it to be this good.
He was already my favorite Batman before the movie came out. My only tiny little nitpick is that the suit is kind of a bullet sponge. But other than it’s my personal favorite Batman Movie.
I loved every single scene. This was a pure film. I'm sure someone will complain about the lack of a martial artist Batman but when people are trying to kill you with sharps objects and guns a roundhouse kick won't be effective. After Robert Pattinson's performance he's owed an apology and required viewing of the movies he's done since Twilight. He was the definitive Batman in this film. Captured the essence of the character and I'm sure moving forward he'll develop the Bruce Wayne persona. Zoe crushed her role. Easily the best Selina Catwoman we've seen on film. Paul Dano was brilliant. The Riddler was an unhinged evil genius. His motivations weren't super original but damn did he nail his character. No scene was wasted in and I wouldn't mind a 4 hour Batman movie if Matt Reeves is at the helm. The Batman was film perfection. I watched it online so now I'm definitely heading to the Theater.
A masterpiece is right! I’m going again on Monday to see it! To confirm if what I saw was true! As Batman is looking at the wall in Riddlers lair, newspaper cutouts, drawings, graffiti etc? A hand drawn pic of Batman appears, as the wider wall is shown, I ‘think’ another hand drawn pic of Batman is shown, only it’s a nod to Michael Keatons Batman. A great (potential) Easter egg! It’s not the sole reason for going back. I want to make sure my initial thoughts on it being a masterpiece are right. I am right! 😊
This is one of the best films ever made I love and I mean love The Dark Knight its 1 of my top 5 greatest movies ever. I believe this film is better. It freaking amazing a complete MASTERPIECE!!!
Batman shot up with Venom.. I’m pretty sure, The mayors son will be Robin.. Idk if it’ll be Dick or Jason. But That kid was very much focused in on I know it mirrors Bruce’s past but I’m betting on it’s Jason.. Joker was cool but I know that won’t be the final cut of Joker they will upgrade him.. I seen a user Named xxHushxx and it was used twice.. The man who spoke to Bruce at the funeral was definitely his parents killer..
Having just walked out of the theater, the dark night is way better. This was good. But honestly, I think this is the third best Batman movie in the 21st century [edit] dark night, Batman begins, then this
There were 3 dudes beind us maybe in there 20s and were acting like damn 12 year olds throughout the whole movie commenting, laughing for no reason and it really ruined my experience. But I really enjoyed it nonetheless, very very well done.
I think this is the best Batman movie. The dark knight was heath ledgers joker movie, however this was just pure Batman and he doesn’t play Bruce he is only the Batman. The first hour of this movie was on another level the heavy piano notes during the fights where amazing. Casting was great. only thing I don’t like is the new joker he has a vibe of Jeremiah velinski from the Gotham series decent but not good/great. The riddler was iconic. ( this is coming from a die hard marvel fan I just love the dc Batman movies)
I didn’t see enough to pass judgement on the new joker. I’d let him get his full movie in before making that kind of judgement on his take on the character
Barry’s a brilliant actor I was hoping they would make him another villain we have had the joker a lot. I’m sure he will do a great job it’s a cool character to play. The movies great
@@ViewsFromGotham and Joaquin Phoenix isn’t? They’ve confirmed joker 2 so we’re gonna have like two different jokers going on for some years. Not too keen for that tbh but as long as I get mr freeze IDC
Loved the movie. Best costume, actual Batman. Finally showed the logistic part of being Batman. Reminded me of the animated series and the Akrham Game series😍
It was great but I still feel like almost every dark comic movie tries to follow what heath did in dark knight cause that movie changed movies forever as the dark knight being my favorite movie everything else falls short :(
“and an ending that’s bound to put a smile on that face” i see what you did there. i kept getting dragged for saying this film was better than any batman film before but that ending with riddler and the joker just… wow.
I thought it was good, not great. Too talkie at times, a little too long and not enough excitement. I would have liked a little more action. I think I've seen all the best scenes already in the trailers and promo material. That car chase with the Penguin was a lot of fun and awesome but I had already seen that in the trailer!
Pros: I was impressed with Robert Pattinson's performance. He did an outstanding job as Batman! People who doubted him can eat it. The focus of Batman is what I've always wanted in a Batman movie. Batman had more screen time than any Bat flick. I have to admire Colin Ferrell. Never would have known he played Penguin. Excellent job. Zoe did a great job as Catwoman. I have to give credit to Michael Giacchino. Outstanding scoring. Very inspirational and I loved that the themes reminded me alot of Shirley Walkers the animated series, Danny Elfmans score and even during the last battle I heard a 60s Batman reference. Super cool. Cons: Can't watch a film anymore without someone bring racism into a discussion. Like just stop. Racism will continue if it is constantly being talked about. Riddler in my opinion wasn't as sinister as I expected, annoying really. Riddles weren't difficult to solve as if Dr. Seuss made them. Jokers riddle was more clever. Haha and he isn't the Riddler. Most of Batmans major moments were shot in the teaser and final trailers during the promotion of the movie which was disappointing. Figured we would get some more action scenes. Finally the backstop of the Wayne family was just disappointing. Thomas and Martha should be the light of the city but really just made their backstory corrupt. I didn't like that. Overall I enjoyed the movie. The work that Matt Reeves delivered spite covid holdbacks the movie was very impressive. I'm looking forward to what's to come with the sequels. I gotta say that I thought I was going to have a hard time sitting through nearly a 3 hour movie but I held on no sweat. The content shown kept me in tune the whole way through and that is what makes this Batman so special. It took risks and made something truly special. If I were to rate this I'd give it a 8/10 easy. Go check it out for yourselves. Some say it was a masterpiece and I respect that but I'm still in favor of The Dark Knight as the best Batman thus so far.
I watched the movie today. This is the best Batman I have seen in Theater. I know that not everyone will love this movie, but to me, this was everything I wanted to see in a Batman movie. I am so hype for a sequel!
Need to make another one ASAP with what they have set up with penguin, hopefully a joker and riddler team up after Arkham break out and I'd love to see zsasz? And a decent Freeze film. Anymore I'd be pushing my luck
I can see Freeze and Joker being used in future titles. I have a feeling we will get a time hop and see the young boy become Robin. His loss was comparable to Bruce.
Thought that they were going to reveal The Riddler to be the son of the threatened/killed journalist, felt like it would justify his motivations even more so. Also, maybe the funniest moment: Oswald (with his legs tied up) walking like a penguin after Bruce and Gordon leave him alone having figured out the rata alada thing.
It's possible that Riddler would inspire the Journalist's son to become Hush, since Edward Elliot (the journalist) is the the father of Thomas Elliot, the villain Hush, in the comics. It's the perfect setup for a sequel where Batman struggles against Hush stealing Bruce Wayne's identity, which can cause many problems for him since he has a major grudge against Bruce.
I watched it today and I definitely think it’s one of my favorite movies ever. Some of my non comic friends thought it was so slow and boring and that the Nolan films were better but I thought this was a much better plot and a more true batman. 9/10
Fully agree 10/10, I watched it a few hours ago. I loved the inspiration that they pulled things from and for me it’s the best Batman movie/ Batman portrayal. I agree with the comparison between the dark knight being more of a “blockbuster” as well. This is way more niche with its genre , but it’s way better imo.
@@ajtracks396 I just don’t think many movies deserve a 10 out of 10 & I think you already had this as a 10 out of 10. I love this film but I still wanted more Bruce Wayne and more Alfred. Also he recovers very quickly from multiple shotgun bullets to the chest 🤷🏻♂️
@@crow_g1639 so just a line. Id mark it down just because he took so many bullets and shotgun pellets to the chest And didn’t seem to get hurt once. Also hardly no Alfred and Bruce
I was absolutely blown away by this movie. I feel like this is the Batman movie I've always been waiting for. Reeves totally understood the dynamic and relationship between Batman and Catwoman, but also between Gordon and Batman. It is dark and gritty like a Batman movie should be. I'm also so happy that they showed how much the bat symbol instills fear in criminals. There's so much good to say about this movie, it really is the Batman movie I was afraid we'd never have.
I went in with absolutely zero expectations considering DCs track record but man, this was pretty DAMN good. Not a good Bruce Wayne by any means but Robert Battinbat pulled off Batsy! And I think the Riddler just matched Ledger's Joker, go ahead and @ me internet. That's how good he was. Better than Dark Knight Rises but not as good as Dark Knight would be a fair assessment

The reason why the Riddler is an orphan is the same reason why the Joker is an adopted child it makes their Origins mysterious or an enigma.
Hey, love your videos and rewatching your video above brought me to watch the movie again and I think I found something.
So, in the Batman x Riddler scene where Bruce hears him say his name over and over, it brings us to think he knows Batmans identity. However, when the conversation proceeds, he skims it off by saying he was the only target they didn't get. - allowing us and everyone in the cinema hear Bruce take that breath of alleviation.
HOWEVER..
when the scene starts, and they see each other, Riddler says "I told you I'd see you in Hell", remembering the message he sent Bruce Wayne. thus making you think...
IF that's the case, Riddler KNOWS Batmans Identity, but rather have kept it to himself, and if you ask me, this riddler portrayed by Paul Dano is so smart, we can see him being Hush, which is one fantastic story.
but then again, it could be a mistake.. Let me know if you already knew about this and I'll take down the comment.
Thx
This ain’t a comic book movie… this is a graphic novel movie. Really, really blown away. 3hours of pure passion - elements of noir, Chinatown, Zodiac, silence of the lambs, Seven, The Crow, horror movies… A character driven masterpiece. The cinematography, sound design, lighting, inspirations… even the Colour of Money reference. Normally these films focus on the villain - but to have Batman the focus for 75% of the movie was brave and it worked. Just sooooo good. Best Batman movie, best Batman, best comic/novel movie… WOW
Just finished watching it and OMFG it is so good, it’s different and grounded and realistic I loved it
I wouldn’t say it’s the best Batman movie.
It’s good. But, not the best. Let’s see where they take this ! Christopher Nolan’s trilogy is GOATED
I respectfully disagree. I found the 3 hour run time way too long. Catwomen and riddler were just bad. Falcone was badly casted. Gordon was kind of just there. I do think Robert and Colin were great. But everything else just fell short. I found myself bored at times. And even checked my phone to see how much time was left. Sadly I was only 2 hours in at that point. Hopefully their sequel or flush out all this stuff and hopefully they'll recast that catwomen. We can only hope.
Gotham definitely felt like the cities featured in the 1st 2 Crow movies. The Movie is definitely David Fincher style in many ways.
This movie was really good. Can't wait for a sequel. I really hope they lock Reeves in. Pattinson and Kravitz were great.
It's gonna be a loooooong wait
@@mich8524 I would say by 2025 lol
They already have Reeves locked in. He's been talking about doing at least 2 more films, with Victor Frieze being the main villain in the next one.
I wonder if the mayor's son will eventually become Robin? Pattinson enjoyed the idea of having Robin as he said in an interview.
@@alclemist4991 at this rate probably.
Just saw it and it’s a masterpiece. Not only is it in contention for the best Batman movie, but also the best comic book movie
Just back from the film , I’m blown away
Amazing movie! Got me hooked from the first minute to the last!
The "Bat crash" landing was funny, defo thought "need to buy something better"
People are allowed to feel how they want to feel about The Batman. The only thing i hate is that people keep comparing it to the Dark Knight, when the goal should have never been for it to be better. TDK is a SEQUEL to Batman Begins. Let’s compare The Batman to Batman Begins; surely it is a much better film. The Batman sets up a great universe with the possibility of an EVEN BETTER sequel. I am betting that Battinson’s trilogy will be the best trilogy of Batman films we’ve seen.
I am Vengence
I would like a word with the guy who comes up with the jokes
I just wish they’d stop showing every big scene in the fkn trailers, without the trailers 10/10 movie.
This film checks all the boxes for a perfect detective Batman movie, having elements of horror, noir, and crime.
Love the ending, after Batman’s famous quote “I’m Vengeance” is taken into quite serious turn by several people using it in their own way. Catwoman wanting to kill her father and Riddler impersonators. And the way he seems to drop it entirely is by being actual HERO at the end, when he lights up the flare. People are shown not trusting him until the little boy takes the first step, and others follow him, as Batman leads them out of the darkness. And when he carried that lady to the chopper, she didn’t want to let go, but she only lets go after being comforted by Batman.
Well said. Incredible movie. I'm stunned and speechless. I absolutely loved it and can't wait for the re-watch.
Thats the reason why in my opinion this is the best Batman we got so far. It is the we he transformed from vengeance vigilante to the hero and symbol of hope he actually should be. I can see people drawing bat signs on their doors in a rise of high crime to somehow protect themselves because they actually trust in batman to protect them and not just be a self righteous masked figure. :D Thats the point the christian bale Batman only reached in the end of the trilogy by faking his death. :-/ Don’t misunderstand me Christian Bale ist still the better Batman by performing the role.
perfectly said man
When I saw that it made the movie even better and especially the character Batman. The movie is already great but that scene alone with Batman trying to be more than just vengeance and fear to the people but giving hope is the hardest thing to do and it was such a beautiful scene seeing Batman really trying to help and cut the electric line and he just never rest until everyone is safe
@@logonet1 Robert Pattinson is the best Batman
It is a long movie and I didn’t want it to end. The suit looks great and when your looking at him from behind, it looks straight out the Arkham games :)
I really didn't wanted it to end, what a journey it was.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I actually want to watch the 4 hour cut of the film, I feel like it could strengthen the pace
@@Muhsin-ox1vj Let's do it!
Pause
I had to pee soooo bad but still never wanted it to end, I want to live in this movie.
The Batmobile deserves a spinoff!!! What a ducking reveal! The acting, directing, cinematography and score was phenomenal! Also Battinson's eyes were also stunning to watch. Batman's eyes spoke when his mouth didn't.
Dude I really enjoyed this movie just got done watching it! My favorite Batman movie by far
This movie was badass
Agreed! The expression of the eyes was something strong Keaton brought to the role too.
Yes!
Loved how his foot steps was heavier then everyone else's. Little details in this film was amazing.
Yeah after the car chase scene and walks slowly
I really loved that “HUSH” reference we got when they did the reporter backstory scene. Although I kinda feel like I may have been the only one in theater to get the reference, as no one else really seemed as coked out excited as I was with this particular scene.
Same
I thought that was awesome! I felt the same way lol, it seemed like I was the only one who understood it as well in my theater.
I don’t get it
Haha that was me last night my movie theater was packed but it sucked cause I literally geeked when I seen HUSH and just other references to the movie that I felt literally flew by everyone else’s head 😂
Yeah I was confused I thought it was going to play out different after seeing hush. He had the same name Elliot. Think that kid could be a robin down the line?
Literally just got out the theatre. It was amazing! This Batman is brutal and more realistic as far as fighting and him being human. It shows his detective side as well as him being obsessed with fighting crime. This is a young inexperienced Batman. The Riddler and Penguin were spot on too. So was Catwoman.
I just got out and loved it I really love a more brutal Batman.
What about the jooookaaa?
@@crow_g1639 what about him?
I was wondering what it was like as far as the feel of the movie thank you for your graphic explanation of it. It truly is appreciated. That's how I walked out of the second Batman with Heath ledger in it. I remember thinking who the hell is going to have to follow that and Tom Hardy managed pretty well. But it was the big scope of the show that did the massive difference.
Such a great movie finished watching it today
Did not want this movie to end. It's was so good. The batmobile reveal and chase topped it off for me. One of the best movie experiences for me since return of the king and endgame. Can't wait to see it again
That thing looked like a bat out of hell what and awesome scene
10000% agree
How to introduce a "cool gadget"... Exhibit A; Matt Reeves' batmobile. What an entrance that thing got.
@@jeremymuir4332 that whole scene had its flaws
@@hugewang69 what movie doesn’t?
Riddler doesn't know Batman's identity. Lot of people misunderstood that scene because it's subtle, but in fact he doesn't care about who's behind the mask, it's just a misunderstanding to create tension for Batman and of course for us.
So why does he keep repeating Bruce Wayne over and over ? I clearly took it the wrong way
@@londonladxxx He just hates Bruce that much, I thought he knew too, but once he mentioned "he's(Bruce) the only one that WE didn't get" that's when we the audience and Batman as well was relieved that he didn't know.
@@Nomad-yp3un I just hope the studio doesn’t interfere for the second of them because they clearly let Matt Reeves do what he wanted this whole film. Possibly a little bit too long but I can’t complain
@@londonladxxx If this movie makes 1 billion, they might come to their senses, if not, I think Matt Reeves won't allow WB to ruin the sequel.
@@Nomad-yp3un I can’t see this film making 1 billion Batman begins only made $330m. This film is to make around $440 million to break even I think it will make around $700 million
This movie had me blown away. The characters, the story, the visuals, the score was PERFECT for this version of Batman. I will say, some things were a little drawn out and slow, but I don’t believe we would’ve gotten as good of an understanding for the city and characters that are already established. That opening scene with the riddler PERFECTLY establishes the tone and the direction of where we’re going to be for the next 3 hours and then hearing Batman / Bruce Wayne’s voice over, put the biggest smile on my face, and seeing how much Gotham’s criminals fear the Batman within that scene plus the score playing as he walks out of the darkness literally made my eyes start watering. This movie is art, truly a masterpiece. Robert Pattinson is my favorite Batman, he is The Batman. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman is my favorite live action on screen adaptation for sure, same with Collin Ferrel and Paul Dano as the penguin and riddler (and the penguin isn’t even in his power yet). Jeffrey Wright KILLED it as Gordon and I absolutely loved his and Batman’s dynamic throughout the movie. I would’ve loved more with Alfred and Bruce, but i honestly understand why some of that probably had to be sacrificed in order to tell the story properly without it being a 4 hour movie (that was the original runtime). We wanted a detective Batman movie and Matt Reeves delivered, it was so cool being able to see him actually investigating and doing a lot of detective work, he’s the worlds greatest detective and it’s shown here. I want more of this Batman and more of this story (even though that joker cameo at the end kind of felt shoehorned in there), I’m so excited to get more of this world and characters. This is truly the best, if not, a VERY VERY close second to TDK.
I just got back from seeing this in the theater...hands down the best Batman movie ever made. The 3 hour runtime did not feel long at all and the way the detective scenes were shot were amazing. Matt Reeves is a genius and just nailed the Batman character perfectly. He even included a uncharacteristic mistake that Batman made during his investigation which I thought was absolutely brilliant because this is a young Batman who would be more likely to make mistakes because he's not as seasoned just yet.
What country are you in?
I love how Batman breaks down the riddles really quickly, so I am glad Matt showcased the intelligence of Batman that was so desperately missing in past movies as well as his detective skills. His buddy cop with Gordon throughout was amazing
He is intelligent but still make mistakes because he is still young, he is still reckless and his anger needs to be restraint at times , he isn’t invincible and couple of gun shots wears him down
He might not know it all, but he is becoming the world”s greatest detective , we see that unfold in this whole trilogy
Did you feel that Alfred was not enough enough ? I also wanted abit more Bruce Wayne as it’s 95% Batman
@@MarvellousMorbing the 3 ?'s
No way the best Batman movie I give it a 8 out of 10
Very cool take on it... cant wait to see it myself! How's fatherhood going?
Really enjoying it, getting little sleep but loving it so far
You watched the spoiler review before the movie???
@@jacksonmauk5191 right I could never do that
THE BATMAN
the first real Batman movie ever!!
Masterpiece
Sequel could be court of owls Or Arkham storyline
But whatever Matt decides I’m in
And Pattinson said in an interview that he’d love to do something with the court of owls in a sequel.
WTF are you talking about ??? Garbage. Period. Just another money making Covid Batman movie with no Celebs. It sucked.
@@friesngravy2013 lol what? You see a different movie?
@@justinwilhelm3228 lol, man saw a parody of batman😂😂
@@justinwilhelm3228 I just watched it. A gross fragment of what Batman represents, You somehow seem to think this garbage was a huge hit. I have an idea. Move out of your parents basement. Get a job , and )$*&^#$@^%$*&^%. Have a nice day.
I love how Batman and Jim Gordon are working together in this movie.
On point
Riddler is pure terrifying in this movie
Until the end when they made him a cry baby. First two acts was so good, last act was disappointing (had good action though)
@@e3vL1 I don't agree. You have to understand that he is in a mental institution and he had spent so much time planning it and seeing everything going EXACTLY to the T. Until the very end, when Batman, Gordon and Catwoman foiled his final act, he absolutely lost it. Because the man is certifiably, batshit (pardon the pun) crazy! When a crazy person's end goal isn't reached, they lose their shit!
@@e3vL1 yeah that exactly how I felt about Riddler too. He was sinister at the beginning. Wouldn't want to mess with that Riddler. Reminded me of Jigsaw. Second act he was a little bitch.
He talks like a baby, acts like a baby after being unmasked
@@detroitdiezel7856 💯
I tried looking for flaws. But the end of the movie fixed them. I was unsure about the whole Catwoman/Falcone side quest but it turns out it was all connected. Brilliant. I loved how even though the Riddler himself was behind bars, with no way out, he was still a huge threat, having zealots crazy enough to form an army of him. The Batman is truly a world’s greatest detective movie, something I don’t think we’ve ever gotten before. Sure, every Batman movie has at least 1 or 2 detective scenes, but this one had several, which took up the majority of the runtime. The darkness is also the closest we’ve come to the comics for a Batman movie. Even The Dark Knight trilogy wasn’t as scary as this movie alone. This. Is. The Batman, the movie that deserves its title more than any other movie ever has
The parallels were delightful, like how in all the times Batman told Selina to take care, she always said, "I can take care of myself" Except in their final exchange, she didn't respond. Which shows the development of their relationship and certain trust. Then the scene where they go back to Selinas apartment, they do so together. Because their goals are the same. And in the end, they go together until they part their separate ways. Symbolizing their core differences.
The penguin walk when he's tied up, was such a great touch.
The Riddler wanted them both to be in Arkham together and in his mind, they did everything together. Complementing eachother every step of the way.
And I think a certain message can be found. Which is worse? The acts of the Riddler? Or the acts of corruption enacted by the people in power?
Absolute MASTERPIECE
The guy who speaks to Bruce in the church saying, "he got what he deserved" looked a lot like the guy at the end who says, "I am vengeance". He also looked like Joe Chill from Joker 2019.
I thought that was the implication
@@cesar7429 I can't find the actor's name to confirm he was in both films
@@karimw.9954 I meant the implication was that the guy in the church was the sniper at the end. It would be very interesting if he'd played Joe Chill as well though
It was him
It was him
This movie definitely reaches passed my expectations by a land slide, it truly felt like a batman movie and felt very realistic. In my opinion I love this version of the riddler a lot, he felt very dark like the tone of the movie. And I didn’t just like the riddler a lot, I loved everyone in this movie.
I think it’s great achievement for the super hero genre as a whole. It breaks conventions on how we perceive the genre and is well made. It has great actors, story and is completely unique from the copy paste super hero movies we’re spoon fed
Watching the batmobile reving up in IMAX , my brain had entered a level of dopamine I had never experienced Watching a film, THE POWER, THE VEGEANCE
Some things maybe people didn’t pick up on: Bruce said his dad took the hypocrite oath, doctors swear to do no harm but in letting Falcone live, he did harm 😂 also when Oz is bound, he waddles like a penguin
Funniest scene in the movie
The problem I always had with Chris Nolan's Batman was no blood, was supposed to be all realistic and yet was shot for PG. Batman needs the violent darkness to work and I was never seriously worried about anyone dying or getting hurt in those movies.
??? When Rachel died… Harvey got burned viciously… etc if they added blood more so like you’re saying to those movies it would have gone on to be the best comic film of all time. The fact that Nolan’s Batman has more gadgets… detective wise too. And I understand this is his 2nd year as Batman and finding his way. I loved the movie but it just has more zodiac killer mixed with Batman’s detective comics. True to the comics but all in all it just didn’t have that solid villain most movies need. There weren’t any iconic scenes on par with dark knight… it has its moments but not on level with dark knight
Why did you need blood to prove that the violence that was taking place? If people were getting sliced by knives up close and flowers were pouring out of the veins I’d understand your issue otherwise what would have the blood added to the story???
Rewatching the Nolan trilogy, my biggest problem is the fight scenes. They are all shaky cam cuts, and are pretty terrible imo. And I can no longer stop hearing Pete Holmes when I hear Christian Bale. His batman voice is so meme-able at this point. The Dark Knight is still a fantastic movie, but not without its flaws. Without Heath, it would not have been considered as brilliant as it is.
I also felt the new Batman movie didn’t have that iconic fight/driving scene. Dark knight had a much better car scene. the Batman had better choreography fights but it felt like filler. This is just being Nit picking
@@macnero4932 I get you. The Batman is a film noir detective story. The fights were not the focus, but when he did, it was way better shot or choreographed as you said. I absolutely hate the tumbler as the batmobile. Battinsons batmobile is way better imo along with the chase scene. I think the prequel comic helps knowing how he built it himself. And the reveal was amazing. The sound of it revving up gave me chills. Plus it didn't destroy the whole city like the tumbler did, which I always laugh at him jumping roof to roof causing thousands of dollars of damage. But to each there own. Let's all just be happy that we get all these variations of such a beloved character. I'm just so excited to see what Matt Reeves does with this universe going forward.
Just saw the movie. Matt Reeves is genius combining different depictions and elements of Batman to make this movie. Not to be that guy but a very diverse cast. No one mentioned the guy running for mayor , his kid potentially being Robin. Great take on Batman being a detective. The most awesome part of the movie is Batman helping the people at the end which turned him from vigilante to justice really getting a better understanding of why he wears the cape.
I also felt like they showed that kid enough for him to be considered for Robin!
@@kamichan127 Yes , it almost seemed like they foreshadowed it in the opening scene when he was using martial arts in the house. Also in this version of Batman they both lose their father as politicians running for Mayor. If he is Robin , Bruce won’t keep secrets from him as Alfred did.
@@koncise0363 yeah I just saw it again myself and 100% that kids got to be Robin I also thought this time around like lol he's wearing red and looks like red hood kind of
Who was that Red ninja at The begining?
No mention of Robin? The orphan will %100 be robin, the opening scene the kid is play fighting with a sword with his dad.. and then has 3 more scenes with Bruce who obviously see’s something in the kid

Riddler's initial and ending motivation didn't transition well and felt rushed.
Other than that great movie
Is it moral from Matt reeves to use the zodiac killer as an inspiration when he isn't even caught shame
@@european1514 he doesn't go fully into it in the film. May have just said that for marketing reasons
I liked the narration. It was very comic booky, as batman often talks to himself in the comics.
I completely agree with your assessment, in like EVERY way lol... I instantly tried to calm myself down from the hype after I walked out of the theater yesterday, and when I finally did, I said to myself, "ok. How does it compare to The Dark Knight...?"
And the only answer I could come up with was that I really couldn't compare them...
THE BATMAN is the Batman movie for hardcore, adult, BATMAN fans. This is the style, version, and feel of Batman that we've wanted to see for a long time. It was Silence of the Lambs meets Se7en meets Zodiac meets Year One meets Long Halloween lol...it was a "whodunnit" so to speak, with intense Batman fight scenes sprinkled throughout. I felt like standing up and cheering after the 1st 20 min or so, after we meet the Riddler and are introduced to Batman...and though the "wham BAM thrill ride!" of it all was minimal, the 1st 80 min or so, I just felt BLOWN AWAY. I couldn't believe what I was seeing....
I'm seeing it again tomorrow (with 3 other people who didn't see it, so that's always fun),,so I feel I may have a better grasp on if I believe it is indeed THE BEST, or equal to, or just a hair under TDK...
But my immediate impressions is just like I had been saying in comments on this very channel, as well as others, for months; that this is THE definitive Batman movie AND performance, and that all other future Batman movies will need to follow this style-- after, of course, Matt and Robert are done with Batman (which I hope they aren't for a lonnnnnng time!)
Matt Reeves is the only director who managed to make a movie with the essence of comic books. A dirty, gothic, corrupt, and unequal Gotham city. A complex story that holds the viewer from beginning to end. This movie is the only movie that is better than Nolan's dark knight
riddler looked scary asl in this movie imagine how terrifying scarecrow would look
Would be absolutely badass
Yeah Paul danno expressions. Scared me.
For me he looked like a minion from childrens cartoon.
I know right. Bros I can’t for the trailer for the batman 2. It’s gonna break the city
I think the thing that stood out for me was background score. Throughout the film it goes so well with the cinematography, that even for a moment it doesn't let boredom get in your head. Also the cinematography, action sequences and amazing camera work was top notch. Must watch this film in as big screen as you find. Great experience.
Idk how I feel about that joker laugh lol also I honestly don’t want to see another joker for a long time I feel like we should explore more of Batman’s Villians but fantastic movie it really had my jaw dropped the entire time and jeez I stayed until the end credit just for the riddler to say goodbye to me lmao
Im sick of jokers no one will beat heath we need other villains
I'm pretty sure he won't be used until the 3rd movie, they're probably going for No man's land for the 2nd one
Couldn't agree more, the last five minutes really left a sour taste in my mouth. It should've cut after the narration when he's comforting the girl. The Joker reveal was so out of place, along with the Catwoman outro.
@@x_master_xtop410 but just image if we got clay face,mr freeze,calendar man,scarecrow,and Hugo strange as the main villains in this Batman universe that would be insane
@@mrebear9758 yea there was a lot of things that was not right in the film i thought it was good though but to me not TDK level but i love robert as batman! Jeffery wright as gordon was great as well but gary oldman will forever be the best gordon
This movie was phenomenal. That opening scene had me hooked in the first few minutes 🔥
Just got back from watching, The scene when the bat mobile turns on had to be one of the craziest things I experienced especially in IMAX, I felt like a little kid!
Eeeeeeeek!
The “Dick Grayson” pun had me dead hahahah 😆😆😆 great stuff

The babies of RATS got so cold that they died
Did anyone else get major Court of Owls/Talon vibes with reference to El Rata Alada and during the scene with DA's mention of Gotham's Elite/Officials secretly controlling the city from the shadows/behind the scenes because he refuses to name the rat right before the bomb explodes at the funeral? Maybe The Riddler also knows about the Court of Owls? Maybe Thomas and Martha Wayne had a connection to the Court of Owls?
SPOILER ALERT:
But I assume if you're watching you've seen the movie. Heavy have to ask your take on the 3rd Act climax when Catwoman is being attacked by one of Riddler's goons did Batman inject himself with some type of "venom"? He just goes ape shit afterwards...Bgood
Sorry man. I thought it best to see the movie before I let myself hope too much, but yeah that was freaking incredible and you were a hundred percent right. Amazing film.
My son that passed away two years ago to a brain tumor (just before he would have turned four) loved Batman. And though I wouldn't have taken him to see this in the theatre if he had never been sick, because this isn't a movie for a six year old, I took one of his Batman toys in my pocket. He is the reason why I stopped looking down on superheroes and started enjoying them. I just really wish he were here to see this when he was older (oh! That's not even in the top ten million reasons I wish he were still here) because he absolutely loved Batman and I know that he would have, when old enough, been the happiest person alive at just how amazing that was. Absolutely perfect.
It was his original name in the comics. Surprised you didn't mentioned at least that, or you didn't know?
It IS better than The Dark Knight, wholeheartedly. THIS is Batman through and through, a gritty detective noir. I was on the edge of my seat, smiling at the screen like a damn idiot. Absolutely LOVED it
bruh
@@jadyntrujillo2195 eat it, normie
It doesn’t touch The Dark Knight… 🙄
The Dark knight being a “blockbuster” and this movie being a “film” is accurate….both are GREAT! But I can see the dark knight still being #1 because it was very easy to digest for general audiences who aren’t familiar with Batman and everything that comes with that character
Dark Knight is sequel.
Yes the dark knight it great. It still is number 1 for sure but this Batman was really good something about the dark knight and the dark knight rises is flawless
@ChillyCloth Nothing better than a troll under a UA-cam comment thread
Dark knight is a seqeul,let's compare this to batman begins
Seriously it’s like Reeves took Scorsese‘s comment, about super hero movies not being real Cinema, to heart and he made an excellent film.. this is one of the best movies ever made. It is not simply a “super hero” blockbuster flick… it has an indie/art house vibe to it and I am here for it. This IS the DEFINITIVE Batman!
Some of the clues about Martha Wayne and the Riddlers first riddle to batman teases the Court of Owls, an arch Patinson wants to explore.
I seriously can’t believe this film actually happened. It was that good. I don’t think I’ve ever been this passionate after finishing a movie
You must watch really bad movies like this one lol
@@moodfordayscast8162 🤡
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention this, but I can’t help but notice that Colin Farrell’s Penguin felt like a direct nod to Robert Deniro’s Al Capone from Untouchables.
Minus that one heavily forced white privilege line it was amazing 👏
10/10 Detective Noir Batman 👍
..The Dark Knight is an 11/10 can't be dethroned
Just imagine if the Joker scene was like this:
Joker: What is more valuable, the less you have?
Riddler: A friend.
Joker: and in a card game, the Joker
*And then he starts laughing*
I honestly thought thats was where the scene was going.
The Hush Easter eggs were the first ones that really stood out to me, Edward Elliot in the movie being the father of the Thomas Elliot aka Hush is the perfect set-up for the sequel's villain. In the comics, Tommy has an intense grudge against the Waynes and that could be incorporated in the sequel as him blaming them for his father's death and plotting his revenge against Bruce Wayne.
That fake out making us think The Riddler knew Bruce's identity was an interesting choice. I was hoping he actually had figured it out. It would've been cool to see what he did with that information.
He did, didn’t he? He was talking about how Bruce thinks he’s an orphan but he’s not the same as the riddler because he had to share 5 people to a room with rats and how a baby would die every winter because it was so cold.
@@iwatchmovies2much afterwards he complains that bruce was the only guy he didnt get, and it clicked to batman that he wasnt caught like he thought he was
@@iwatchmovies2much honestly, I believe it can be interrupted anyway, but for me I’d go with the take out take. He seemed so out of touch and nuts that I honestly couldn’t tell. He did mention that he succeeded in every way, except for the attempt on Bruce’s life.
That part was awesome for me. The movie did such a good job of making you think he absolutely knew Bruce was Batman. But that reveal was so satisfying and an "oh shit" moment for me. He 100% had no idea who Batman really was. The dialogue makes it crystal clear and you can see Batman's reaction when he realizes he doesnt know. It was perfect.
@@HipHopRylan ah gotcha, thanks for clarifying! Looking forward to picking it up on my rewatch tomorrow! :D
I’ve been following up on this movie since a freshman in college, in 2019. Im living in a dream right now with having finally seen this movie. This is the best take on Batman ever, most realistic and accurate Batman to date and most likely will be for a very long time if not forever, Pattinson nailed it everyone nailed it, it feels like The Long Halloween thrown right into the damn screen in live action. Groundbreaking movie just as I expected, a dream come true. Can’t wait to see it again and again to find more things I didn’t pick up on before. Matt Reeves is the goat.
The way the story unfolded like a detective Batman DC graphic novel was such a breath of fresh air. I love how Reeves stuck to his convictions on how he wanted to portray Batman and have the Batman movie stand alone instead of finding a way how it can fit with the DC cinematic universe. It shows that he really wanted to pay credit to the source material his own way and the best way he knew how, and it really shows in the writing, the beautiful cinematography, and developmental arches of all the characters.
Now I’m really torn on which movie I like better- The Batman or Dark Knight Returns!
The dark knight movies feel like Hollywood and the Batman feels more like comics. I loove the dark knight movies but when it comes to the Lore the Batman actualy IS the best Btamam movie
I say Pattinson's Batman will last more than his first trilogy.
It seems like Reeves is building up this universe as those similar to the Arkham games.
Arkham Asylum here will be compiled of many of Batman's Rogues Gallery.
And we should see Riddler make his return once he and several other villains get let loose and hopefully see him in his more comic accurate look with the green suit and cane
Yeah so not all people live in the UK 🇬🇧 mate. You guys are like time travelers to us in America 🇺🇸
The movie is really good and at the end it shows how batman finally realises that he doesn’t need to terrorise the thugs but actually help out the people who need him…it can be led up to a potential in a sequel where we see that he has matured since this is year 2 batman he is pretty rageful and doesn’t care about anything
This movie was soooooo good!!!! I loved that it wasn’t full of action. I liked the story line and it was just a damn good movie. Was not expecting it to be this good.
Matt actually cut a scene where the joker and batman actually meet.
He was already my favorite Batman before the movie came out. My only tiny little nitpick is that the suit is kind of a bullet sponge. But other than it’s my personal favorite Batman Movie.
I loved every single scene. This was a pure film. I'm sure someone will complain about the lack of a martial artist Batman but when people are trying to kill you with sharps objects and guns a roundhouse kick won't be effective. After Robert Pattinson's performance he's owed an apology and required viewing of the movies he's done since Twilight. He was the definitive Batman in this film. Captured the essence of the character and I'm sure moving forward he'll develop the Bruce Wayne persona. Zoe crushed her role. Easily the best Selina Catwoman we've seen on film. Paul Dano was brilliant. The Riddler was an unhinged evil genius. His motivations weren't super original but damn did he nail his character. No scene was wasted in and I wouldn't mind a 4 hour Batman movie if Matt Reeves is at the helm. The Batman was film perfection. I watched it online so now I'm definitely heading to the Theater.
I've seem his other movies. He was shit. The only batmen worse then him was in batman and Robin, forever. Sadinson deserves no apology.
100% agree. I really LOVED this movie. 10/10 for me
So basically it can only get worse from this film unless you give 10 on the next 2
A masterpiece is right! I’m going again on Monday to see it! To confirm if what I saw was true!
As Batman is looking at the wall in Riddlers lair, newspaper cutouts, drawings, graffiti etc? A hand drawn pic of Batman appears, as the wider wall is shown, I ‘think’ another hand drawn pic of Batman is shown, only it’s a nod to Michael Keatons Batman. A great (potential) Easter egg!
It’s not the sole reason for going back. I want to make sure my initial thoughts on it being a masterpiece are right. I am right! 😊
This is one of the best films ever made I love and I mean love The Dark Knight its 1 of my top 5 greatest movies ever. I believe this film is better. It freaking amazing a complete MASTERPIECE!!!
Batman shot up with Venom.. I’m pretty sure, The mayors son will be Robin.. Idk if it’ll be Dick or Jason. But That kid was very much focused in on I know it mirrors Bruce’s past but I’m betting on it’s Jason.. Joker was cool but I know that won’t be the final cut of Joker they will upgrade him.. I seen a user Named xxHushxx and it was used twice.. The man who spoke to Bruce at the funeral was definitely his parents killer..
Having just walked out of the theater, the dark night is way better. This was good. But honestly, I think this is the third best Batman movie in the 21st century
[edit] dark night, Batman begins, then this
Can't compare this to The Dark Knight but the sequel you can when it drops. This is feff the best start of any batman trilogy.
The man the myth, the spoiler. Quick work as always 🔥
There were 3 dudes beind us maybe in there 20s and were acting like damn 12 year olds throughout the whole movie commenting, laughing for no reason and it really ruined my experience. But I really enjoyed it nonetheless, very very well done.
I think this is the best Batman movie. The dark knight was heath ledgers joker movie, however this was just pure Batman and he doesn’t play Bruce he is only the Batman. The first hour of this movie was on another level the heavy piano notes during the fights where amazing.
Casting was great. only thing I don’t like is the new joker he has a vibe of Jeremiah velinski from the Gotham series decent but not good/great. The riddler was iconic.
( this is coming from a die hard marvel fan I just love the dc Batman movies)
I didn’t see enough to pass judgement on the new joker. I’d let him get his full movie in before making that kind of judgement on his take on the character
You watch a lot of shitty movies from marvel then lol brainwashed into thinking those are good lol 😂
Dick...... Grayson. Well played sir. (slow clap gradually becomes rapturous applause).
Barry’s a brilliant actor I was hoping they would make him another villain we have had the joker a lot. I’m sure he will do a great job it’s a cool character to play. The movies great
True but this time we can have joker atound for multiple movies
@@ViewsFromGotham and Joaquin Phoenix isn’t? They’ve confirmed joker 2 so we’re gonna have like two different jokers going on for some years. Not too keen for that tbh but as long as I get mr freeze IDC
should rename the channel to heavy puns instead 😂
Loved the movie. Best costume, actual Batman. Finally showed the logistic part of being Batman. Reminded me of the animated series and the Akrham Game series😍
If The Joker was a film about a broken man becoming Irredeemable. The Batman is a film about a damaged man becoming a Force for Good!
I liked the first half but it felt like something was missing from the second half . I would of liked to see Batman building some of his gadgets .
It was great but I still feel like almost every dark comic movie tries to follow what heath did in dark knight cause that movie changed movies forever as the dark knight being my favorite movie everything else falls short :(
“and an ending that’s bound to put a smile on that face” i see what you did there. i kept getting dragged for saying this film was better than any batman film before but that ending with riddler and the joker just… wow.
Eh
I thought it was good, not great. Too talkie at times, a little too long and not enough excitement. I would have liked a little more action. I think I've seen all the best scenes already in the trailers and promo material. That car chase with the Penguin was a lot of fun and awesome but I had already seen that in the trailer!
As a Batman fan there’s nothing more I could ask for in a Batman movie. Instant classic
I feel the exact same way. This was the Batman movie I’ve been waiting for.
Pros: I was impressed with Robert Pattinson's performance. He did an outstanding job as Batman! People who doubted him can eat it.
The focus of Batman is what I've always wanted in a Batman movie. Batman had more screen time than any Bat flick.
I have to admire Colin Ferrell. Never would have known he played Penguin. Excellent job.
Zoe did a great job as Catwoman.
I have to give credit to Michael Giacchino. Outstanding scoring. Very inspirational and I loved that the themes reminded me alot of Shirley Walkers the animated series, Danny Elfmans score and even during the last battle I heard a 60s Batman reference. Super cool.
Cons: Can't watch a film anymore without someone bring racism into a discussion. Like just stop. Racism will continue if it is constantly being talked about.
Riddler in my opinion wasn't as sinister as I expected, annoying really. Riddles weren't difficult to solve as if Dr. Seuss made them. Jokers riddle was more clever. Haha and he isn't the Riddler.
Most of Batmans major moments were shot in the teaser and final trailers during the promotion of the movie which was disappointing. Figured we would get some more action scenes.
Finally the backstop of the Wayne family was just disappointing. Thomas and Martha should be the light of the city but really just made their backstory corrupt. I didn't like that.
Overall I enjoyed the movie. The work that Matt Reeves delivered spite covid holdbacks the movie was very impressive. I'm looking forward to what's to come with the sequels. I gotta say that I thought I was going to have a hard time sitting through nearly a 3 hour movie but I held on no sweat. The content shown kept me in tune the whole way through and that is what makes this Batman so special. It took risks and made something truly special. If I were to rate this I'd give it a 8/10 easy. Go check it out for yourselves. Some say it was a masterpiece and I respect that but I'm still in favor of The Dark Knight as the best Batman thus so far.
Yeah cat woman mentioning white privilege was completely unnecessary
She said white privileged yet her father is the one who everyone answers to who is half black. So kind of silly to even have put that in the movie.
People: "iT's T0o dARk and GriTty, thEre ArE N0 J0keS", just reminds me of BvS
Movie felt like taxi driver but Batman themed. Overall a masterpiece
Didnt we, already have that
Justice, the answer is Justice. We see Batman evolve from being vengeance, into Justice.
I watched the movie today. This is the best Batman I have seen in Theater. I know that not everyone will love this movie, but to me, this was everything I wanted to see in a Batman movie. I am so hype for a sequel!
Batman was actually scary this time, like this movie made me understand why criminals fear him
Paul your insane man i only just saw your twitter post with the photo at the cinema and youve already produced a breakdown. Incredible work ethic man
dark knight is still better by a huge margin...the pg 13 rating really hurt the movie because it made it boring...
Need to make another one ASAP with what they have set up with penguin, hopefully a joker and riddler team up after Arkham break out and I'd love to see zsasz? And a decent Freeze film. Anymore I'd be pushing my luck
I can see Freeze and Joker being used in future titles. I have a feeling we will get a time hop and see the young boy become Robin. His loss was comparable to Bruce.
The joker thing was pointless came out of nowhere
@@jonathonmohammed1671 Scarecrow would be more suited
Thought that they were going to reveal The Riddler to be the son of the threatened/killed journalist, felt like it would justify his motivations even more so.
Also, maybe the funniest moment: Oswald (with his legs tied up) walking like a penguin after Bruce and Gordon leave him alone having figured out the rata alada thing.
It's possible that Riddler would inspire the Journalist's son to become Hush, since Edward Elliot (the journalist) is the the father of Thomas Elliot, the villain Hush, in the comics.
It's the perfect setup for a sequel where Batman struggles against Hush stealing Bruce Wayne's identity, which can cause many problems for him since he has a major grudge against Bruce.
I watched it today and I definitely think it’s one of my favorite movies ever. Some of my non comic friends thought it was so slow and boring and that the Nolan films were better but I thought this was a much better plot and a more true batman. 9/10
Watched batman yesterday and felt like it was the modern Seven. Cant help getting immersed in the whole mystery
The movie is amazing I literally am watching the credits right now.
Didnt watch anything about the movie besides the test footage and I was floored when the batmobile showed up
Fully agree 10/10, I watched it a few hours ago. I loved the inspiration that they pulled things from and for me it’s the best Batman movie/ Batman portrayal. I agree with the comparison between the dark knight being more of a “blockbuster” as well. This is way more niche with its genre , but it’s way better imo.
I’m a big fan of this film but something tells me you was gonna say it was 10 out of 10 without even watching it
@@londonladxxx lol, why would I rate a movie without watching it 🤣I’m not one of those people
@@ajtracks396 I just don’t think many movies deserve a 10 out of 10 & I think you already had this as a 10 out of 10. I love this film but I still wanted more Bruce Wayne and more Alfred. Also he recovers very quickly from multiple shotgun bullets to the chest 🤷🏻♂️
9/10 just because I am vEnGeNcE was kinda corny
@@crow_g1639 so just a line. Id mark it down just because he took so many bullets and shotgun pellets to the chest And didn’t seem to get hurt once. Also hardly no Alfred and Bruce
You wanna know what satisfies me the most about this film? It shut the Nolan butt-kissers the fuck up.
I was absolutely blown away by this movie. I feel like this is the Batman movie I've always been waiting for.
Reeves totally understood the dynamic and relationship between Batman and Catwoman, but also between Gordon and Batman. It is dark and gritty like a Batman movie should be.
I'm also so happy that they showed how much the bat symbol instills fear in criminals.
There's so much good to say about this movie, it really is the Batman movie I was afraid we'd never have.
It didnt even feel like a 3 hour movie thats how good it was !
I went in with absolutely zero expectations considering DCs track record but man, this was pretty DAMN good. Not a good Bruce Wayne by any means but Robert Battinbat pulled off Batsy! And I think the Riddler just matched Ledger's Joker, go ahead and @ me internet. That's how good he was.
Better than Dark Knight Rises but not as good as Dark Knight would be a fair assessment
