I love how the film starts with the person he saves reacting to him with fear, and ends with the person he saves clinging to him, requiring his reassurance. It’s clear he doesn’t know how to react to the way she looks at him, and it makes him rethink everything he’s been doing. It’s such incredible emotional filmmaking where everything comes together with incredible care to make you know everything going on in his head at all times.
Totally yes ! And also on that note how in the beginning he said he was vengeance but then in the end when that other guy said that and he realized he needed to be some thing better, or something along those lines you get what I’m saying lol .. he needed to be a symbol for hope .
@@CortexVideos I sure would love to do something just like this for Batman films to make and I've always wondered what it would be like to create a true storyline about the hero of Gotham City since I've watched all the films and the TV Shows and played the video games as I have dreamed of being the caped crusader
Some people say it’s too long but I say watching The Batman is basically bingeing an fascinating and brilliant episodic noir crime mystery in one go in the theater
@@juliobenavides3821 very true! However, I consider anything where Kevin Conroy voiced Batman to be a pseudo extension of the Animated Series. When I say the animated series, I'm referring to most iterations where Kevin Conroy did the voice. Justice League : Doom was another really good one

This film was a masterpiece, specifically the soundtrack, cinematography and story, the soundtrack gave me that Batman animated series nostalgia that ive always wanted in a live action Batman movie
The Batman is more realistic and grounded that TDK Trilogy yet more faithful in plot and characterization of the source material. This is the best Batman movie to date.
Just because the plot stayed true to the source material doesn’t make it a better movie imo. Who was a better Batman, a better Bruce Wayne? Christian Bale by far, and that’s just one of the many reasons I’d take Nolan’s trilogy anyday over it
@@andredasilva1759 then what you're saying is a matter of subjective taste. Nothing more and nothing less. You want objectivity? Bruce said he won't take lives, but he blow up the League fortress, he deliberately leave Ra's in the train to death, in TDK he ram his Batmobile until the dump truck crush the concrete... He also blow Talia truck that eventually break her neck.
@@godinacape you want objectivity? Batman is supposed to have a 192 IQ genius philanthropist, be the very peak of what a human can be physically and yet he spends half the movie on his ass, gets caught off guard and blasted unconscious by penguin and has the all the charisma of a whiny teenager. Whether weak acting or poor writing is to blame, the movies main character was not good. Christian Bale did it better, in spite of the “no killing” ambiguity you pointed out
@@andredasilva1759 I disagree, Pattinsons portrayal was just more believable more realistic and just better in almost every way. With Bales Batman i didn't really get that "Batman" vibes the same way I got it with Pattinson, his intro scene and his monologue alone
@@andredasilva1759 Lol...have you ever read Year One? Or Batman Earth One Series? He's constantly get bruised and knock off, well it's a year two.... And that stupid impossibility of 192 iq and dozens of martial arts was never in the early comics, that all come later when modern writers having a hard on trying to insert a batshit ability for Batman. Plus, Baleman doesn't have those too, so by your own logic he's not that Batman you imagined him to be. At least the new Batman is smart and use his detective skill. It's the first instalment, there's two more at least to see Bruce becoming the philanthropy playboy facade thing... Everyone knows (but you) that they will explore that in the next.
I’ve just watched the intro, and I 100% agree. I have issues with the plot, which really annoys me in some places, particularly with how the whole “bring him into the light” thing resolves, but none of those things matter when looking at this as a Batman fan. This is the first film to truly do the character, the setting, and the themes of the comics true justice, and for that it is my personal favorite comic book movie, followed by Man of Steel and Captain America: Civil War. It finally feels like I am watching THE Batman I know on the big screen in every way.
Honestly I kinda like how the into the light bit worked. Of course Riddler wanted to be the one to kill Falcone, and he'd want to immediately take credit for it. Because it's all about him and his need for recognition.
@@fangsabre I mean, I guess that makes sense, but what are the chances of everything working out like that, of Batman literally escorting Falcone outside into the open under that specific streetlight where Edward could shoot him from his window while he just so happened to be home and in a position to shoot at the time? That could have played out any number of ways, and while I don't think this was the case, it just sounds as if everything, all the riddles and clues, was all for the sole purpose of getting Batman to lead him outside so he could shoot him, which makes no sense because he could have shot him at any number of other times and places. I'm not saying none of it works, I just didn't like it.
I think bringing him into the light means more like a metaphor for exposing falcone before killing him. I know in the film, it's shown in a rather literal way but that was my interpretation.
@@justthinkingoutloud2538 theres only one entrance to the Iceberg lounge, and Falcone only ever leaves his fortress apartment underneath for very special circumstances. Basically, it was impossible to get to him unless he had a means of flushing him out (Batman) and he HAD to go through that same single entrance when he left. Basically all Riddler had to do was wait till he heard shooting and fighting and saw some cops to know when to set up his rifle. The riddles and everything were eventually to lead Batman to Falcone but the thing with the street light wasn't hard because it's the only exit. Riddler says the part about not being able to get to him outright in the movie
@@anirudhmenon425 Except for the “and you’ll find where I’m at” bit, which they did because he shot him and so they could find where he shot from, meaning finding him was dependent on leading Falcone into the literal light to be shot.
My Honest Opinion The Batman is my 2nd favourite film of all time. My all time favourite is Se7en. So this takes massive influence from David Fincher's film.. for me it's a big win And last but not least This film made me feel like I was a child watching Batman for the first time. That means this film is PERFECT for me.
@@silverhumsedits2658 Your right about SE7EN. I remember seeing it when it first came out in 1995. I think that was the year. Great film. 👌👌👌🏴🏴🏴
I don't understand the hate for this movie. I mean, it does feel a little long in the final act in the film. But the movie does so many things right. I haven't felt so excited for a Batman film since Batman Begins. I love the aesthetic of the film. Love the music. Love the Bat suit. Love the action scenes. All the actors did a great job. I'm excited to see more of the Penguin and riddler. I hope we get to see Robin one day.
I’m not sure if I’m nitpicking but I really didn’t think Bruce Wayne was done all that well. He’s supposed to be a complex character, a brooding crusader who’s also brilliant enough to act like a airhead playboy for the public. In the movie he came off as a whiny loner to me. Never really had any moments where he stood out stealth, or intelligence wise which are the two defining Batman characteristics to me.
@@andredasilva1759 That's a valid point. I agree. I would have like to have seen a few scenes showing him at a share holders meeting, or going to his office to take care of stuff. But the movie was already long as is. Maybe a director's cut.
@@andredasilva1759 I aggre with you, also in my opinion this film was setup for that bruce wayne, from the very begining this bruce wayne only has anger he said being batman was his only family legacy not until the very end of the movie where he rethinking all of his action.
People I feel like are not liking it cause of Pattinson. They are all like “not twilight boy” he’s come sooooo far since then. He’s a good actor and he did well in this role . They have to have something to hate on
People always forget. That the “Dark Knight” was Nolan’s second film. So we should stop comparing Reeves first film to Nolan’s second. Wait till we get a second Reeves film. Than compare. This might be better suited to compare it to Nolan’s first film. In that regard. To me, this film Trumps Nolan’s first
I wasn't comparing them by the contents of each film. They are two very different films and have said that in numerous videos. All I was saying was that, in my personal opinion... The Dark Knight is my favourite comic book film of all time, and The Batman is my favourite Batman film of all time. That was all. Its a matter of preference at the end of the day and everyone is going to have different feelings on it
Nah u got it twisted. Reeves first batman film came after the entire Nolan trilogy, which means he had all that inspiration to draw from. That's why we can compare it to TDK.
This is such an underrated film. The whole singular idea, by Matt Reeves, that this is a man who is unhinged and unhealthily obsessed with fighting the criminal element at night who is constantly beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and with his unlimited amount of vast resources at his disposal. All he sees in the criminal element, in this corrupt town that his family helped to build and found dating back to the late 1800s, are the people who killed his parents as a young child making him an orphan. So, he dons the mantle of that which he fears the most, in the form of the Batman, after training for the majority of his life to rid his city of the evil that took his parent's lives. He dosen't know who was responsible for killing Thomas and Martha Wayne so every criminal he sees, to him, is the criminal that killed his parents on that fateful night when he was only 10 years old. He is addicted to this mission, like a drug, so as both Bruce and Batman, he spends all of his time, trying to succeed in this impossible task he has set up for himself. That's why he never sees the light of day as Billionaire Bruce Wayne and is a social outcast and pariah. He is a man driven by vengeance; by revenge. By the end of this journey, as we see Bruce on a physical, mental, emotional and psychological level and transform from a young, naive, impatient man who makes mistakes still early in his career as a crime fighter we see him then become something else by the end...a symbol of hope, an ideal, a form of inspiration that makes criminals terrified to step out at night and commit their atrocities that makes Gotham City one of the worst places to call home. A city with a history and a foundation steeped in corruption and crime that ties back to the Wayne family and and their vast fortune. It also plants the seeds that will give him the inspiration to step out in the light of day to transform into the billionaire, playboy industrialist more interested in dating models and driving fast cars in order to hide in plain sight so no one would be able to distinguish Bruce Wayme is actually the Batman. A man consumed by vengeance who transforms into a symbol of hope. Obviously a film inspired by the comic book mythos and Arkham video game series and Batman animated series from the 1990s. Ironically, a film consisting of character arc transformations and worldbuilding moments that is actually one of the most faithful Batman comic book movies to the original source material in the 1940s. Such as Detective comics issue 27 from 1937 and batman issue 1 in 1940 created by Bob kane, Bill finger and Jerry Robinson. Then, the new 52 comics such as court of owls and Zero year by tomeu morey, john ottley, Jim lee, Scott Snyder. Batman year one by jim lee, David Mazuchelli and Frank miller as well as Batman: the long halloween and Batman: ego and other tales. This essay is lterally just scratching the surface of why it's actually one of the best batman films yet up their with the likes of the Dark knight from 2008.
I love the western flare that The Batman has from the score to the mysterious loner in town to even the clanging cadence of his walk, and the majority of the town wonders, “Is he good? Is he bad?” I don’t know but he’s here to throw down and use eye makeup…and he’s all out of eye makeup
Regardless of the quality of the video, which is great, as an Italian it gives me enormous joy to hear how you correctly pronounce "Falcone" instead of "f'lkohn" ❤️
The Batman edged out the Dark Knight as best Batman flick in my opinion. Dano brought just as much gravitas to his role as Ledger did, granted Ledger got some boosted legend status as he passed away before release. Bale's Batman seems almost comical now compared to Pattison. It's hard to move past Bale's Batman voice...It's absurd at times and I wish someone would have told him to hold back a bit. I really enjoyed how Reeve's starts Batman off with a gang of thugs laughing at him, because how absurd a dude dressing up like a bat is. The next scene is a bunch of cops being like WTF is this dude, thinking he's mentally deranged as Batman takes in the crime scene without saying more than a few words. Versus Nolan's Batman is instantly a ninja who is can do anything practically, and everyone seems okay with it. With The Batman, you're made aware of his short comings while also hinting at what a badass the dude is. There's no stupid voice. He is silent and takes in everything methodically. Sometimes not saying a thing, but allowing the music and acting to piece together a scene. He feels like Batman, and Bruce feels like the alter ego. I've seen it twice and now and the second viewing really cemented how good this film is. There are a few things that were meh, like Alfred and Bruce's relationship seemed sparse and forced when needed. But god damn did Reeve's write Batman correctly. One scene comes to mind when he is fitting Selena with contact lens cameras to spy inside the Iceberg Lounge for him, and she expresses concern that he doesn't care about her well being. He approaches her slowly and says look at me, with a long pause as he looks her in the eyes. Only to reveal he was making sure the contact lens were in correctly versus comforting her. It was excellent. One of the many scenes that felt very Batman like. Also, thank god for the zero scenes showing his parents dying and all that training garbage. We get right into it from minute one.
I agree The Batman is the best Batman movie to date. But as for TDK, as much as I love that movie, I think it's a little overrated. Without Ledger's portrayal as the Joker, it's actually just above mediocre. Bale's Batman is not that memorable (except for his voice, and for the wrong reason), and to me, doesn't come close to his portrayal in BB. Of course, I've always felt he was a much better Bruce Wayne than Batman anyway. That being said, TDK is still one of my all time favorites. But I do have to agree with the comment above. 1990's TMNT is prob one of the best comic book adaptations/movies out there. Watchmen gets a decent nod in my book as well.
@@bryanbigham3761 The TMNT movie is overlooked too often in theses kind of discussions. People forget how revolutionary that movie was. Combining practical effects and animatronics with heart, humor, and action. When I saw the movie as a kid, it just blew me away. And it was also dark and gritty considering it was a kids movie. It was way ahead of its time. It's too bad the sequels were more campy.
Okay, CV... serious question. Do you think this version of Bruce Wayne is a virgin? (I'm honestly asking.) I and a lot of other women think he is. (Guys never do.) He has no time for Bruce Wayne, when would he have had time for any of that? But primarily, it's his reaction to Selina. She kinda scares him. You can see it in his eyes. PLUS, when he thought there might have been a 'relationship' between her and Falcone... the way he was behaving... that was straight up a 13 year old boy finding out the girl he likes already dated someone else. It was a very emotionally stunted reaction. So, what do you think?
Oh Bruce is so a virgin in this. He's too obsessed with being Batman. Like you said, his reactions to Selina tells all. I remember when I was a virgin 🤣 I can so see that in Bruce in this movie
I agree with your analysis. This Bruce behaves like a teenage boy who’s stuck at the age when he lost his parents and never moved on and he was acting very much like a depressed social recluse, and definitely has trust issues, so unlikely he's had previous romantic relationships, if any friendships even...
I think you have to remember that this Bruce is a man who has had almost zero social interaction outside of Alfred for two years, all of his social interactions have been as Batman. He's a recluse, he just doesn't leave his house unless he absolutely has to. Even going to the mayor's funeral was because it was important to his mission as Batman. I think its far more likely he fears getting close to people, and Selina is someone he very much wants to get close to.
There’s a book that tells us about Bruce’s life before the events of the movie. I haven’t read it yet but I saw somewhere that it tells us that he did have girlfriends before becoming Batman. Also apparently he was a street racer and that’s where he learned to modify cars, hence how he made the Batmobile. Not at all related but kinda cool.
Tis a great flick, and not just because I'm a batfan. It's beautifully shot, every scene is a lesson. The batfleck version is DKR which in itself is superb, though this version sees him saving people at the end (as in DKR when Batman takes command of the rescue of the populace), therefore showing the citizens he is there to help them....whilst elsewhere showing the criminals he is there to terrify them.
To me in my opinion, I like to think that The Batman is an excellent feeling of the Tim Burton The Batman the animated series and the Nolan trilogy into one unique universe and I have to say all the cast and the filmmakers involved made the best Batman movie to date with this movie. Keep up the great work!👍 👏
While Nolan’s take on the world arguably has more realism, I’d argue that the *people* behave more realistically in Reeves’ version than Nolan’s (which is fine, and I also love Nolan’s more idealised style with his characters). Especially Catwoman; Nolan’s female characters - in any of his movies - don’t feel real to another female; they tend to feel like ‘what a man thinks a woman is like’. And that’s from a female Nolan fan! By contrast , while Catwoman obviously defies physics somewhat which is forgivable in a comic book movie, Selina the character feels like a woman, to another woman.
The Riddler is a school shooter who grew up and is ridiculously smart. And honestly, I kinda love that. It makes sense that The Riddler would become that in the real world as a serial killer. And when we see him without the mask hes exactly what I expect from the Riddler, right down to his freak out when the rug is pulled from under him and his use of the riddle once his sense of superiority is restored. And I LOVE the fact that he doesnt know Bruce is Batman because his delusional mind won't let him even come to the idea that someone he despises and feels so superior to (Bruce Wayne isn't a REAL orphan) is the same person as someone who he sees as a near equal (Batman). His need to maintain his intellectual superiority simply won't allow it
@@jonsavage2587 oops: 'In August 2013, Ben Affleck was cast as Bruce Wayne / Batman for multiple films set in the DC Extended Universe... In October 2014, Warner Bros. revealed plans for a standalone Batman film starring Affleck, and he was in negotiations to direct and co-write the screenplay with Geoff Johns by July 2015. Production was expected to begin after Affleck finished work on Live by Night. Affleck and Johns finished the first draft in March 2016... Affleck began to have reservations about directing the film[ and announced in January 2017 that he was stepping down as director but still planned to star and produce. He initially said he had stepped down to focus more on starring as Batman but soon stated that he had been unable to get the script where he needed it and felt it was time for someone else to "have a shot at it"... Matt Reeves took over as director and co-writer from Affleck and chose to feature a younger version of Batman...Warner Bros. sent Reeves a copy of the script, but Reeves felt that Affleck's take, while "totally valid", was not the film he wanted to make. Reeves only wanted to join if he was guaranteed creative control, and Warner Bros...Reeves began working on the script in March 2017.' Nice try though!
@@hoover728 The film, directed by Matt Reeves, wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig. Development began after Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in 2013. Affleck signed on to direct, produce, co-write, and star in The Batman, but had reservations about the project and dropped out. Reeves took over and reworked the story, removing the DCEU connections. He sought to explore Batman's detective side more than previous films, drawing inspiration from the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the New Hollywood era, and comics such as "Year One" (1987), The Long Halloween (1996-97), and Ego (2000). I happen to be a published writer myself. From submitting the galleys of a book, to distribution on the market can take three to four years; that's not counting the years it sometimes takes to write a novel. A movie script is three or four times more daunting of a task. So, there is no way to pin-down the exact time of creation in the mind of its author(s). Suffice to say it was based on previous stories from the comic. And besides, my question was rhetorical. So, if your youthful, ridged, liberal nose was tweaked, good. Maybe it should be.
I supplied you with a fact based timeline and you respond with some bloviation about artistic inspiration based on your prodigious writing career and then suddenly pivot to it all being based on comics. Face it: you were utterly wrong when you said Matt Reeves started development in 2013. He wasn't involved in the project until 2015 and didn't start writing until 2017. And finally, to go back to the beginning with your insinuation that Gotham is a mirror of Biden America: Reeves is one of the liberals that you despise and has made known his disdain for trump in no uncertain terms. If the sleaze, graft, corruption, and perversion of Gotham are resonant of any political era, it's definitely trump's.
Riddler is the scariest villain we have ever seen in Batman movies? Heath Ledger's performance made me so nervous and anxious. Joker in The Dark Knight is the scariest Batman villain in Batman movies. Then Tom Hardy too intimidated me. Riddler comes at third place regarding being scary. But of course everyone has their own preferances. Don't get me wrong though Paul Dano as Riddler was amazing. But really..Joker was more unnerving, more scary. Riddler is the most chilling? Again Joker is the most chilling followed by Bane. :) I mean Joker gave me goosebumps, made my hair stand on. Riddler was not Joker level scary.
I enjoyed the Batman I thought it was amazing and amazing story I enjoyed the Riddler Catwoman everything I actually enjoyed even the batmobile but I also cannot wait for the sequel to that's just my opinion as a Batman fan and a DC fan.
I completely agree with you that this is the best BATMAN movie ever made, but the Dark Knight is a better movie overall. I also believe that Batman Begins edges over the Batman for me.
I liked the film. Things I didn't like (and, inappreciate that this is spoken as a non-comic-reader), included batman being stood around multiple police officers in several scenes. I disliked that he became hope and the public's fear of him was gone. I loved the idea of nobody feeling safe around him. As the film progressed, nobody seemed scared of him at all.
I love the videos you've been putting out on The Batman, but something I've noticed in a lot of coverage is people calling The Riddler an incel, when he clearly isn't portrayed as one. Not at any point of the movie does Riddler show an interest in finding a romantic partner or bemoan the fact he can't attract one. He doesn't actively target women exclusively, nor seemly care about his male victim's perceived sexual prowess. I'm not trying to defend the incel ideology here, but words matter and shouldn't be thrown around with no care for their actual meaning. Just something to think about.
This movie can be seen from those who are not comics lovers and from those who like them immensely. There are certain political topics present in this movie, from social policy to power grab from certain politicians, the involvement of criminals in some political games, systematic corruption and horror of bureaucracy.
I have seen some comments that had the word "realistic" in them. Are these people aware that Batman isn't realistic but a comicbook character. No man can realistically do what Batman does. The more realistic a Batman movie is, the worse it is. It needs to be as close to the comicbooks as it can be. The same with who Batman is. One thing for sure is he isn't 170lbs. Someone that small wouldn't last two nights in the streets of Gotham. Killer Croc would destroy him within a minute. Then eat him all up. Bane would never consider him a challenge worthy of spending time going after. What I don't understand, in all the other superhero movies, including Marvel, they get actors to play the characters as close to what the character does in the comics. Hell even the villians are. But with Batman, the one superhero that they have made the most in movies, they keep getting it wrong time and time again. Affleck was the only time they got it right. Batman is not 170lbs. He is 220lbs and big and ripped. He is agile and flexible. That is why to make it more realistic to this world can't be done. Big, ripped people are not usually agile and flexible. But in Batman's world, he is. Batman needs to man handle the bad guys like Affleck did in the warehouse fight scene in B v S. That was epic. I finally felt like I was watching a live action Batman. Pattinson is no doubt a very good actor. There is no question about that. But he is not the Batman. He definitely is not Bruce Wayne. The story may be better in this one but seeing a small Batman just ruins everything for me. Along with the bad casting of Batman, they got his suit wrong again. Way wrong, a freaking collar, are you kidding me. Batman wears dark grey and dark blue, not black. They haven't gotten the batmobile right since the first two with Keaton. Everyone since have sucked. Then just as big as them casting the wrong actor to play Batman, there is no Robin/Nightwing. The only two times they had him, they made him a whinny little bitch and that is not who Dick Grayson is. I don't know, I know movie Batman fans love it and that is because they really don't know who Batman is suppose to be and look like. I just wish Warner Bros would pull their heads out of their ass and do the greatest comicbook hero justice by doing it right. But I am not a movie Batman fan which there is nothing wrong with being, I am a real Batman fan.

This is a wildly bad and empty headed film. You expected this to at least be serviceable film but then are left wondering if every single person who wrote glowing review works for the production. Colin Farrell Paul Dano completely wasted and written horribly there was no real acting or anything interesting about Colin Farrell penguin other than the fact that it was Colin Farrell under all of that penguin-ness... the motivations the characters especially Catwoman become so convoluted and silly and misdirected that you can't tell why anybody's doing anything anymore. I didn't mind Pattinson, but he really wasn't Batman very much... and maybe the most glaring thing was the exposition dumping.. instead of figuring out how to roll out a movie they just have Commissioner Gordon give you 15 minutes of backstory explaining what happened.. The Riddles aren't interesting and the borrowed art Direction from previous films like seven are executed so badly and with such mediocrity that they probably just should have been staged differently. The only thing I really liked about it was how they dealt with the Batcave. Not to mention VC Andrews Gothic family bulshit..
It has some plot issues, but if they ruin it that completely for you so that you can’t appreciate anything good about it, not only do you not care about what this was really trying to do and probably didn’t even watch this video, but I don’t know how you enjoy any filmmaking.
@@MrMightyEthan exactly. I checked her channel because I thought maybe she had legitimate reasons why The batman was bad, I saw her Matrix 4 review and she said No Way Home was "hilariously funny" and was a "really good movie". Then I understood.

I love how the film starts with the person he saves reacting to him with fear, and ends with the person he saves clinging to him, requiring his reassurance. It’s clear he doesn’t know how to react to the way she looks at him, and it makes him rethink everything he’s been doing. It’s such incredible emotional filmmaking where everything comes together with incredible care to make you know everything going on in his head at all times.
Totally man. Thats a great pick out by the way
Totally yes ! And also on that note how in the beginning he said he was vengeance but then in the end when that other guy said that and he realized he needed to be some thing better, or something along those lines you get what I’m saying lol .. he needed to be a symbol for hope .

@@andredasilva1759 Lol...have you ever read Year One? Or Batman Earth One Series? He's constantly get bruised and knock off, well it's a year two....
And that stupid impossibility of 192 iq and dozens of martial arts was never in the early comics, that all come later when modern writers having a hard on trying to insert a batshit ability for Batman. Plus, Baleman doesn't have those too, so by your own logic he's not that Batman you imagined him to be. At least the new Batman is smart and use his detective skill.
It's the first instalment, there's two more at least to see Bruce becoming the philanthropy playboy facade thing... Everyone knows (but you) that they will explore that in the next.
I’ve just watched the intro, and I 100% agree. I have issues with the plot, which really annoys me in some places, particularly with how the whole “bring him into the light” thing resolves, but none of those things matter when looking at this as a Batman fan. This is the first film to truly do the character, the setting, and the themes of the comics true justice, and for that it is my personal favorite comic book movie, followed by Man of Steel and Captain America: Civil War. It finally feels like I am watching THE Batman I know on the big screen in every way.
Honestly I kinda like how the into the light bit worked. Of course Riddler wanted to be the one to kill Falcone, and he'd want to immediately take credit for it. Because it's all about him and his need for recognition.
@@fangsabre I mean, I guess that makes sense, but what are the chances of everything working out like that, of Batman literally escorting Falcone outside into the open under that specific streetlight where Edward could shoot him from his window while he just so happened to be home and in a position to shoot at the time? That could have played out any number of ways, and while I don't think this was the case, it just sounds as if everything, all the riddles and clues, was all for the sole purpose of getting Batman to lead him outside so he could shoot him, which makes no sense because he could have shot him at any number of other times and places. I'm not saying none of it works, I just didn't like it.
I think bringing him into the light means more like a metaphor for exposing falcone before killing him. I know in the film, it's shown in a rather literal way but that was my interpretation.
@@justthinkingoutloud2538 theres only one entrance to the Iceberg lounge, and Falcone only ever leaves his fortress apartment underneath for very special circumstances. Basically, it was impossible to get to him unless he had a means of flushing him out (Batman) and he HAD to go through that same single entrance when he left. Basically all Riddler had to do was wait till he heard shooting and fighting and saw some cops to know when to set up his rifle. The riddles and everything were eventually to lead Batman to Falcone but the thing with the street light wasn't hard because it's the only exit. Riddler says the part about not being able to get to him outright in the movie
@@anirudhmenon425 Except for the “and you’ll find where I’m at” bit, which they did because he shot him and so they could find where he shot from, meaning finding him was dependent on leading Falcone into the literal light to be shot.
My Honest Opinion
The Batman is my 2nd favourite film of all time. My all time favourite is Se7en.
So this takes massive influence from David Fincher's film.. for me it's a big win
And last but not least
This film made me feel like I was a child watching Batman for the first time.
That means this film is PERFECT for me.
My favourite film is the usual suspects. No one could have possibly guessed that ending. No way.
@@russcooke5671 a man of taste I see
@@silverhumsedits2658 thank you for the compliment 👌👌👌👌🏴🏴🏴🏴
@@silverhumsedits2658 Your right about SE7EN. I remember seeing it when it first came out in 1995. I think that was the year. Great film. 👌👌👌🏴🏴🏴
I'm planning to watch Se7en as well since I heard it was one of the in influences of the batman..and maybe Chinatown too
I don't understand the hate for this movie. I mean, it does feel a little long in the final act in the film. But the movie does so many things right. I haven't felt so excited for a Batman film since Batman Begins. I love the aesthetic of the film. Love the music. Love the Bat suit. Love the action scenes. All the actors did a great job. I'm excited to see more of the Penguin and riddler. I hope we get to see Robin one day.
who hates the movie? lmao.. people can hold opinions all they want.. doesn't mean they aren't dead wrong and ignorant though..
I’m not sure if I’m nitpicking but I really didn’t think Bruce Wayne was done all that well. He’s supposed to be a complex character, a brooding crusader who’s also brilliant enough to act like a airhead playboy for the public. In the movie he came off as a whiny loner to me. Never really had any moments where he stood out stealth, or intelligence wise which are the two defining Batman characteristics to me.
@@andredasilva1759 That's a valid point. I agree. I would have like to have seen a few scenes showing him at a share holders meeting, or going to his office to take care of stuff. But the movie was already long as is. Maybe a director's cut.
@@andredasilva1759 I aggre with you, also in my opinion this film was setup for that bruce wayne, from the very begining this bruce wayne only has anger he said being batman was his only family legacy not until the very end of the movie where he rethinking all of his action.
People I feel like are not liking it cause of Pattinson. They are all like “not twilight boy” he’s come sooooo far since then. He’s a good actor and he did well in this role . They have to have something to hate on
I agree In my opinion this newest Batman movie "The Batman" is one of the best Batman movies of them all.
I enjoyed this Batman. Not only is he true to form, but he's flawed. He even gets his bell rung a couple times and that's refreshing.
Once I saw the opening scene I knew I was in for a treat!!!
People always forget. That the “Dark Knight” was Nolan’s second film.
So we should stop comparing Reeves first film to Nolan’s second.
Wait till we get a second Reeves film. Than compare.
This might be better suited to compare it to Nolan’s first film.
In that regard.
To me, this film Trumps Nolan’s first
I wasn't comparing them by the contents of each film. They are two very different films and have said that in numerous videos. All I was saying was that, in my personal opinion... The Dark Knight is my favourite comic book film of all time, and The Batman is my favourite Batman film of all time. That was all. Its a matter of preference at the end of the day and everyone is going to have different feelings on it
Nah it's fine. I like Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight for a lot of things.
Nah u got it twisted. Reeves first batman film came after the entire Nolan trilogy, which means he had all that inspiration to draw from. That's why we can compare it to TDK.
@@shalindelta7 he didn’t really pull inspo from it though. This movie shouldn’t be compared at all to nolan’s.
Batman Begins feels really lacklustre compared to The Batman imo.
This is such an underrated film. The whole singular idea, by Matt Reeves, that this is a man who is unhinged and unhealthily obsessed with fighting the criminal element at night who is constantly beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and with his unlimited amount of vast resources at his disposal. All he sees in the criminal element, in this corrupt town that his family helped to build and found dating back to the late 1800s, are the people who killed his parents as a young child making him an orphan.
So, he dons the mantle of that which he fears the most, in the form of the Batman, after training for the majority of his life to rid his city of the evil that took his parent's lives. He dosen't know who was responsible for killing Thomas and Martha Wayne so every criminal he sees, to him, is the criminal that killed his parents on that fateful night when he was only 10 years old. He is addicted to this mission, like a drug, so as both Bruce and Batman, he spends all of his time, trying to succeed in this impossible task he has set up for himself. That's why he never sees the light of day as Billionaire Bruce Wayne and is a social outcast and pariah. He is a man driven by vengeance; by revenge. By the end of this journey, as we see Bruce on a physical, mental, emotional and psychological level and transform from a young, naive, impatient man who makes mistakes still early in his career as a crime fighter we see him then become something else by the end...a symbol of hope, an ideal, a form of inspiration that makes criminals terrified to step out at night and commit their atrocities that makes Gotham City one of the worst places to call home. A city with a history and a foundation steeped in corruption and crime that ties back to the Wayne family and and their vast fortune. It also plants the seeds that will give him the inspiration to step out in the light of day to transform into the billionaire, playboy industrialist more interested in dating models and driving fast cars in order to hide in plain sight so no one would be able to distinguish Bruce Wayme is actually the Batman. A man consumed by vengeance who transforms into a symbol of hope. Obviously a film inspired by the comic book mythos and Arkham video game series and Batman animated series from the 1990s.
Ironically, a film consisting of character arc transformations and worldbuilding moments that is actually one of the most faithful Batman comic book movies to the original source material in the 1940s. Such as Detective comics issue 27 from 1937 and batman issue 1 in 1940 created by Bob kane, Bill finger and Jerry Robinson.
Then, the new 52 comics such as court of owls and Zero year by tomeu morey, john ottley, Jim lee, Scott Snyder. Batman year one by jim lee, David Mazuchelli and Frank miller as well as Batman: the long halloween and Batman: ego and other tales. This essay is lterally just scratching the surface of why it's actually one of the best batman films yet up their with the likes of the Dark knight from 2008.
I love the western flare that The Batman has from the score to the mysterious loner in town to even the clanging cadence of his walk, and the majority of the town wonders, “Is he good? Is he bad?” I don’t know but he’s here to throw down and use eye makeup…and he’s all out of eye makeup
Amazing review! Really enjoyed it thorough.
Regardless of the quality of the video, which is great, as an Italian it gives me enormous joy to hear how you correctly pronounce "Falcone" instead of "f'lkohn" ❤️
The batman is really amazing film I just love ending the way batman and catwoman part there way
Bro omg the score 😍😍
Robert REALLY surprised me in this movie. This is by far my FAVORITE Batman movie! I adore this new, shy, awkward Bruce Wayne.
Best video on The Batman that I have seen so far. Thanks for that!
Not me having gone to watch it a 6th time.
The Batman edged out the Dark Knight as best Batman flick in my opinion. Dano brought just as much gravitas to his role as Ledger did, granted Ledger got some boosted legend status as he passed away before release. Bale's Batman seems almost comical now compared to Pattison. It's hard to move past Bale's Batman voice...It's absurd at times and I wish someone would have told him to hold back a bit. I really enjoyed how Reeve's starts Batman off with a gang of thugs laughing at him, because how absurd a dude dressing up like a bat is. The next scene is a bunch of cops being like WTF is this dude, thinking he's mentally deranged as Batman takes in the crime scene without saying more than a few words. Versus Nolan's Batman is instantly a ninja who is can do anything practically, and everyone seems okay with it. With The Batman, you're made aware of his short comings while also hinting at what a badass the dude is. There's no stupid voice. He is silent and takes in everything methodically. Sometimes not saying a thing, but allowing the music and acting to piece together a scene. He feels like Batman, and Bruce feels like the alter ego. I've seen it twice and now and the second viewing really cemented how good this film is. There are a few things that were meh, like Alfred and Bruce's relationship seemed sparse and forced when needed. But god damn did Reeve's write Batman correctly. One scene comes to mind when he is fitting Selena with contact lens cameras to spy inside the Iceberg Lounge for him, and she expresses concern that he doesn't care about her well being. He approaches her slowly and says look at me, with a long pause as he looks her in the eyes. Only to reveal he was making sure the contact lens were in correctly versus comforting her. It was excellent. One of the many scenes that felt very Batman like. Also, thank god for the zero scenes showing his parents dying and all that training garbage. We get right into it from minute one.
For me it looks like this:
The Dark Knight is the best comic book movie.
The Batman is the best Batman movie.
I 100% agree with that.
I think the 1990 TMNT movie is the best comic book movie.
It’s the best cbm period in my opinion, Nolan twisted the comic book source material a bit too much for my liking
I agree The Batman is the best Batman movie to date. But as for TDK, as much as I love that movie, I think it's a little overrated. Without Ledger's portrayal as the Joker, it's actually just above mediocre. Bale's Batman is not that memorable (except for his voice, and for the wrong reason), and to me, doesn't come close to his portrayal in BB. Of course, I've always felt he was a much better Bruce Wayne than Batman anyway.
That being said, TDK is still one of my all time favorites. But I do have to agree with the comment above. 1990's TMNT is prob one of the best comic book adaptations/movies out there. Watchmen gets a decent nod in my book as well.
@@bryanbigham3761 The TMNT movie is overlooked too often in theses kind of discussions. People forget how revolutionary that movie was. Combining practical effects and animatronics with heart, humor, and action. When I saw the movie as a kid, it just blew me away. And it was also dark and gritty considering it was a kids movie. It was way ahead of its time. It's too bad the sequels were more campy.
Best Batman movie EVER!!!!!
Snyder's version was utter shit and ZSJL ignores how he had no arc in BVS
I think it's one of those that will age well especially after it's been released to the public and ppl can digest it at their own pace
Okay, CV... serious question. Do you think this version of Bruce Wayne is a virgin? (I'm honestly asking.) I and a lot of other women think he is. (Guys never do.) He has no time for Bruce Wayne, when would he have had time for any of that? But primarily, it's his reaction to Selina.
She kinda scares him. You can see it in his eyes. PLUS, when he thought there might have been a 'relationship' between her and Falcone... the way he was behaving... that was straight up a 13 year old boy finding out the girl he likes already dated someone else. It was a very emotionally stunted reaction.
So, what do you think?
Oh Bruce is so a virgin in this. He's too obsessed with being Batman. Like you said, his reactions to Selina tells all.
I remember when I was a virgin 🤣 I can so see that in Bruce in this movie
I agree with your analysis. This Bruce behaves like a teenage boy who’s stuck at the age when he lost his parents and never moved on and he was acting very much like a depressed social recluse, and definitely has trust issues, so unlikely he's had previous romantic relationships, if any friendships even...
I’m not so sure he is a virgin. One of the newspaper articles on Nashton’s wall has Bruce Wayne spotted with mystery women.
I think you have to remember that this Bruce is a man who has had almost zero social interaction outside of Alfred for two years, all of his social interactions have been as Batman. He's a recluse, he just doesn't leave his house unless he absolutely has to. Even going to the mayor's funeral was because it was important to his mission as Batman. I think its far more likely he fears getting close to people, and Selina is someone he very much wants to get close to.
There’s a book that tells us about Bruce’s life before the events of the movie. I haven’t read it yet but I saw somewhere that it tells us that he did have girlfriends before becoming Batman. Also apparently he was a street racer and that’s where he learned to modify cars, hence how he made the Batmobile. Not at all related but kinda cool.
Tis a great flick, and not just because I'm a batfan. It's beautifully shot, every scene is a lesson. The batfleck version is DKR which in itself is superb, though this version sees him saving people at the end (as in DKR when Batman takes command of the rescue of the populace), therefore showing the citizens he is there to help them....whilst elsewhere showing the criminals he is there to terrify them.
The best landmark in Gotham City is actually their version of Time Square...
To me in my opinion, I like to think that The Batman is an excellent feeling of the Tim Burton The Batman the animated series and the Nolan trilogy into one unique universe and I have to say all the cast and the filmmakers involved made the best Batman movie to date with this movie. Keep up the great work!👍 👏
While Nolan’s take on the world arguably has more realism, I’d argue that the *people* behave more realistically in Reeves’ version than Nolan’s (which is fine, and I also love Nolan’s more idealised style with his characters). Especially Catwoman; Nolan’s female characters - in any of his movies - don’t feel real to another female; they tend to feel like ‘what a man thinks a woman is like’. And that’s from a female Nolan fan! By contrast , while Catwoman obviously defies physics somewhat which is forgivable in a comic book movie, Selina the character feels like a woman, to another woman.
The Riddler is a school shooter who grew up and is ridiculously smart.
And honestly, I kinda love that. It makes sense that The Riddler would become that in the real world as a serial killer. And when we see him without the mask hes exactly what I expect from the Riddler, right down to his freak out when the rug is pulled from under him and his use of the riddle once his sense of superiority is restored. And I LOVE the fact that he doesnt know Bruce is Batman because his delusional mind won't let him even come to the idea that someone he despises and feels so superior to (Bruce Wayne isn't a REAL orphan) is the same person as someone who he sees as a near equal (Batman). His need to maintain his intellectual superiority simply won't allow it
He 111% knows who Batman is. Unmasking him isn't the point, and he even says this in the movie.
This needs to stay detective.
I love how this Gotham's 'governance' exactly parallels our own right now. Think it was deliberate?
Well it was written while trump was president so yes I’d say the parallels were deliberate.
@@hoover728 The libo-Hivemind speaks. Check your sources; Matt Reeves started development in 2013. O-biden era- extended to now.
@@jonsavage2587 oops: 'In August 2013, Ben Affleck was cast as Bruce Wayne / Batman for multiple films set in the DC Extended Universe... In October 2014, Warner Bros. revealed plans for a standalone Batman film starring Affleck, and he was in negotiations to direct and co-write the screenplay with Geoff Johns by July 2015. Production was expected to begin after Affleck finished work on Live by Night.
Affleck and Johns finished the first draft in March 2016...
Affleck began to have reservations about directing the film[ and announced in January 2017 that he was stepping down as director but still planned to star and produce. He initially said he had stepped down to focus more on starring as Batman but soon stated that he had been unable to get the script where he needed it and felt it was time for someone else to "have a shot at it"...
Matt Reeves took over as director and co-writer from Affleck and chose to feature a younger version of Batman...Warner Bros. sent Reeves a copy of the script, but Reeves felt that Affleck's take, while "totally valid", was not the film he wanted to make. Reeves only wanted to join if he was guaranteed creative control, and Warner Bros...Reeves began working on the script in March 2017.'
Nice try though!
@@hoover728 The film, directed by Matt Reeves, wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig. Development began after Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in 2013. Affleck signed on to direct, produce, co-write, and star in The Batman, but had reservations about the project and dropped out. Reeves took over and reworked the story, removing the DCEU connections. He sought to explore Batman's detective side more than previous films, drawing inspiration from the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the New Hollywood era, and comics such as "Year One" (1987), The Long Halloween (1996-97), and Ego (2000).
I happen to be a published writer myself. From submitting the galleys of a book, to distribution on the market can take three to four years; that's not counting the years it sometimes takes to write a novel. A movie script is three or four times more daunting of a task. So, there is no way to pin-down the exact time of creation in the mind of its author(s). Suffice to say it was based on previous stories from the comic.
And besides, my question was rhetorical. So, if your youthful, ridged, liberal nose was tweaked, good. Maybe it should be.
I supplied you with a fact based timeline and you respond with some bloviation about artistic inspiration based on your prodigious writing career and then suddenly pivot to it all being based on comics. Face it: you were utterly wrong when you said Matt Reeves started development in 2013. He wasn't involved in the project until 2015 and didn't start writing until 2017.
And finally, to go back to the beginning with your insinuation that Gotham is a mirror of Biden America: Reeves is one of the liberals that you despise and has made known his disdain for trump in no uncertain terms. If the sleaze, graft, corruption, and perversion of Gotham are resonant of any political era, it's definitely trump's.
Riddler is the scariest villain we have ever seen in Batman movies? Heath Ledger's performance made me so nervous and anxious. Joker in The Dark Knight is the scariest Batman villain in Batman movies. Then Tom Hardy too intimidated me. Riddler comes at third place regarding being scary. But of course everyone has their own preferances. Don't get me wrong though Paul Dano as Riddler was amazing. But really..Joker was more unnerving, more scary. Riddler is the most chilling? Again Joker is the most chilling followed by Bane. :) I mean Joker gave me goosebumps, made my hair stand on. Riddler was not Joker level scary.
It’s kind of funny how all the criticism for this movie can be perfectly captured in the Marvel fans when Batman doesnt say -insert shitty quip- meme.
Apni tohh pagol hoi gelen dada 😁❤️
Give us Robin dammit!
I enjoyed the Batman I thought it was amazing and amazing story I enjoyed the Riddler Catwoman everything I actually enjoyed even the batmobile but I also cannot wait for the sequel to that's just my opinion as a Batman fan and a DC fan.
I completely agree with you that this is the best BATMAN movie ever made, but the Dark Knight is a better movie overall. I also believe that Batman Begins edges over the Batman for me.
let's go! new _uploaf_ 😲
I liked the film. Things I didn't like (and, inappreciate that this is spoken as a non-comic-reader), included batman being stood around multiple police officers in several scenes. I disliked that he became hope and the public's fear of him was gone. I loved the idea of nobody feeling safe around him. As the film progressed, nobody seemed scared of him at all.
I love the videos you've been putting out on The Batman, but something I've noticed in a lot of coverage is people calling The Riddler an incel, when he clearly isn't portrayed as one. Not at any point of the movie does Riddler show an interest in finding a romantic partner or bemoan the fact he can't attract one. He doesn't actively target women exclusively, nor seemly care about his male victim's perceived sexual prowess. I'm not trying to defend the incel ideology here, but words matter and shouldn't be thrown around with no care for their actual meaning. Just something to think about.
Tbh the riddler is an incel cause of his backstory
This movie can be seen from those who are not comics lovers and from those who like them immensely. There are certain political topics present in this movie, from social policy to power grab from certain politicians, the involvement of criminals in some political games, systematic corruption and horror of bureaucracy.
“Yet another masterpiece in the comic book genre” Lol I don’t think there’s that many, movies like these are rare
most importantly.....this Batman doesn’t KILL.
snyder’s batman wasn’t even close. watching a snyder superhero movie is like watching “The Boys.”
Selina was an orphan herself. Batman and Riddler are opposites, and Selina is somewhere in the middle.
Christopher Nolan's Batman movies is the best to me.
Fal-cone-ee and Fal-cone are fine, but Fal-cone-ay? That's just dumb
We need to chill and not let recency bias get the best of us it’s a solid 8.5/10 but it’s not the ultimate

First comment?
I have seen some comments that had the word "realistic" in them. Are these people aware that Batman isn't realistic but a comicbook character. No man can realistically do what Batman does. The more realistic a Batman movie is, the worse it is. It needs to be as close to the comicbooks as it can be. The same with who Batman is. One thing for sure is he isn't 170lbs. Someone that small wouldn't last two nights in the streets of Gotham. Killer Croc would destroy him within a minute. Then eat him all up. Bane would never consider him a challenge worthy of spending time going after. What I don't understand, in all the other superhero movies, including Marvel, they get actors to play the characters as close to what the character does in the comics. Hell even the villians are. But with Batman, the one superhero that they have made the most in movies, they keep getting it wrong time and time again. Affleck was the only time they got it right. Batman is not 170lbs. He is 220lbs and big and ripped. He is agile and flexible. That is why to make it more realistic to this world can't be done. Big, ripped people are not usually agile and flexible. But in Batman's world, he is. Batman needs to man handle the bad guys like Affleck did in the warehouse fight scene in B v S. That was epic. I finally felt like I was watching a live action Batman. Pattinson is no doubt a very good actor. There is no question about that. But he is not the Batman. He definitely is not Bruce Wayne. The story may be better in this one but seeing a small Batman just ruins everything for me. Along with the bad casting of Batman, they got his suit wrong again. Way wrong, a freaking collar, are you kidding me. Batman wears dark grey and dark blue, not black. They haven't gotten the batmobile right since the first two with Keaton. Everyone since have sucked. Then just as big as them casting the wrong actor to play Batman, there is no Robin/Nightwing. The only two times they had him, they made him a whinny little bitch and that is not who Dick Grayson is. I don't know, I know movie Batman fans love it and that is because they really don't know who Batman is suppose to be and look like. I just wish Warner Bros would pull their heads out of their ass and do the greatest comicbook hero justice by doing it right. But I am not a movie Batman fan which there is nothing wrong with being, I am a real Batman fan.

This is a wildly bad and empty headed film. You expected this to at least be serviceable film but then are left wondering if every single person who wrote glowing review works for the production. Colin Farrell Paul Dano completely wasted and written horribly there was no real acting or anything interesting about Colin Farrell penguin other than the fact that it was Colin Farrell under all of that penguin-ness... the motivations the characters especially Catwoman become so convoluted and silly and misdirected that you can't tell why anybody's doing anything anymore. I didn't mind Pattinson, but he really wasn't Batman very much... and maybe the most glaring thing was the exposition dumping.. instead of figuring out how to roll out a movie they just have Commissioner Gordon give you 15 minutes of backstory explaining what happened.. The Riddles aren't interesting and the borrowed art Direction from previous films like seven are executed so badly and with such mediocrity that they probably just should have been staged differently. The only thing I really liked about it was how they dealt with the Batcave. Not to mention VC Andrews Gothic family bulshit..
Sorry, not sorry BUT this was a lousy movie. Absolutely NOT a masterpiece. No no no. Infantile, lousy incoherent storytelling. Real bad.
It has some plot issues, but if they ruin it that completely for you so that you can’t appreciate anything good about it, not only do you not care about what this was really trying to do and probably didn’t even watch this video, but I don’t know how you enjoy any filmmaking.
