Chris Stuckmann reviews The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell. Directed by Matt Reeves. - Розваги
Pattinson’s acting when he thought the riddler found out his identity was so good. He looked so scared that his identity was found out, and then you see his facial expression change so fast when he realizes riddler doesn’t know.
Amazing scene, totally!
i kinda wish riddler did find out but decides not to tell people, i think that was a thing in the comics but im not sure.
@@gevoian it is a thing in the comics
@@gevoian Yeah, it's cuz Batman tells him that a riddle everyone knows the answer too is worthless, so Riddler wouldn't dare tell it. Though it's cool, I feel that is too risky still. He could in theory still tell someone.
I almost felt that even when Batman told riddler that he didn’t like him, he still respected his smarts. And riddler was literally just like a corrupt Batman
I love how the first civilian Batman saves is scared of him and thinks he’s going to hurt him but the last one doesn’t want to leave him a she is airlifted away, cool parallel showing his growth from someone who just beat the shit out of criminals to an actual hero
Didn’t even think about this . Elite character development
Awesome catch
I just realized this too
Great point!
Sort of add on to that but it really helped was how whenever Batman was at a crime scene at the beginning of the movie there would be cops who have this “really, we’re letting THIS guy look around”. But by the end, a cop (who called him a freak at the beginning) actually made small talk with him that help him figure out riddler plan
The introverted version of Batman being portrayed in this film was spot on!
Yet, billionaire, entrepreneur, crime fighter, detective, muscle car driver, . That is not your typical introvert. I liked his acting. I just felt they shrunk his profile to introvert, gloomy, depressed. Perhaps they used the riddler as a wake up call for the character. Dunno.
Bruce Wayne is always introvert.
@@barrydelight I know but I’m saying the way the director portrayed Batman in this film as opposed to all the other Batman’s was great.
@@DueWhatThouWilt Yeah, I really like this version of Bruce Wayne.
I mean it was more realistic really….I don’t see a kid who’s parents were murdered in front of him and raised by a butler being that happy of a person regardless of having money. Bruce is a tormented soul like everyone else he is fighting he just used his for good instead of evil.
I love how the cop next to Jim Gordon calls Batman a 'Freak' even though Batman doesn't treat him badly but he fanboys hard when he sees Bruce Wayne and Bruce just ignores him, loved these Moments/Details about the movie.
😂😂 great catch
A pleasant moment of justice.
Commissioner: “ We got you assaulting an officer”
Batman: “No you got me assaulting 3 officers”
That scene was so badass
And the "mine or yours?" when the goons said he was gonna get blood on the suit
And the one with something like “ do you know my reputation?”
“Do you?”
@@aboveyou686 you beat me to it.
“You know, you could have held back on that punch.”
“i did.”
Yoooooo seriously. My theater was so dead. I was clapping during that scene.
Someone pointed out to me that the Riddler goon who says “I’m Vengeance” at the end of the movie is also the guy rambling in the funeral to Bruce. Crazy amount of detail in this film.
That's one of the main reasons he recognised Bruce at the funeral. He was already aware of Riddler's plan.
It was the guy for the last Riddle clue, but Batman thought it was him (as well as to make us think that way, since he said at the beginning "I'm Vengeance"), Riddle gave a clue that to end all of this Riddle madness, "Vengeance" need to show up, which is what happen at the end, but not with Batman, instead it was him.
@@markrogers6601 Oh yeah a bunch of the henchman were seen in the funeral if you look for awhile.
That's what I also thought if whether or not that was the guy.
No way🤯🤯
Penguin scene where they made him walk like a penguin was genius. The scene where he was tied up and the Batman and police drove off you see him walking like a penguin
Lol nice catch I didn't notice it.
I loved the small detail of everyone's beatings swelling over the course of the film.
@@measlesplease1266 it’s such a small touch they added and when you look at again it’s like Whahahaha so smart 😂
loved that little detail
Absolutely. Sometimes I think that movies are filled with these moments and noone gets credit for it. Seriously, could we know who was the mind behind that specific detail? He deserves an MTV "Best major insignificant detail" award.
Lol I wondered how many people would notice that
Robert's non verbal acting was 🔥🔥 I felt the gloom within this version of Bruce Wayne.. My personal favorite version now💪
@@lickenhuntsman5338 Who do you think makes Marvel movies? Disney does.
@@lickenhuntsman5338 DC Studios, while they may only recently have adopted that name and expanded beyond film, definitely exist even at the time you wrote this comment
For me three scenes gave me chills. The first walkout. The batmobile and the scene when batman comes from the glass roof of the building with all of riddlers followers. Absolute master piece
I agree. Damn That final scene where he comes through the roof with all those explosions was so good
Same three for me!!!!!
Yeah man, something about a hero making cool entrance to save the day are fascinating for me 😍
The moment where he pulls the scaffolding off of the mayor/citizens and is standing there with the flare? Honestly choked me up
And the wingsuit scene. Bruh I freaking love this film
I really like the twist that he inspired his villains. He realizes that his whole vengeance message is inspiring the wrong people and at the end he turns to inspire hope. A good character arc that make me excited to see the future of this character
How is this a twist tho.. it's literally the same thing at the beginning of TDK where there were several copycats that Batman inspired...one of them Heaths Joker kills... Bale's Batman literally says that is not what he wanted to inspire.
@@insidejah9293 the difference is those were people who wanted to become a vigilante like Batman. In this movie however, Batman inspired the main villain to carry out these killings.
exactly! A perfect way to kickstart a trilogy and batman's character arc in my opinion
@@apower2058 it is literally the same concept... Batman inspires copies some with the wrong intent some with the right intent. My point stands that it's "NOT a TWIST".
@@insidejah9293 Yh you’re right, it isn’t a twist, even in the comics, it’s been long explained that Batman’s villains wouldn’t exist in Gotham if it wasn’t for Batman himself… these people are just newbies I’m guessing.
Can we also pause a moment to acknowledge how incredible John Turturro is in this movie? 100% convincing as Falcone.
saw this movie for the first time last night and bruuuhh IT WAS A MASTERPIECE!!!!! the ending had me in tears as he held on that torch as he guided those people while also feeling guilty that deep down, he’s one of the reasons why these people suffer. Pattinson really portrayed this role really well!!!
Ahh, shit, here we go again with those big words of praise, let's slow down. 2:06 That's exactly why it's frustrating, they put so much care into it, yet there's a million little problems that even a blind man could see and a mediocre director/writer could fix. yet they didn't i mean wtf. The ending? They once again, went to big to quick. Can we have a guy in a costume solving crimes and arresting MF's or does every little hero have to be larger then life it self?! A symbol of this and a symbol of that, Jesus.
@@4Everlast thats...that's.... the point of comic characters. It isn't an episode of Cops.
@@Abrakadabro666 Then let's not call it super realistic and my guy bats the greatest detective around. That "it's just a comic book movie" excuse ain't working no more, we got to many great ones to pretend we don't know what it can be instead of what we get.
A symbol of fear to criminals and by the end, a symbol of hope to the helpless. This here is what I call a perfect story arc
Just like in that panel from Batman: Ego.
A symbol of corporate cashgrab. A symbol of cringy storytelling. A symbol of fanboys wet dream. Thats what I call Batman.
Every successfull movie is a cashgrab. Get out of the psuedo communist ideologies 🙄. If you're good at something, you should be compensated for it.
The way they caught the Riddler was perfect
@@SuperDrragon These trolls are just so annoying honestly.
The scene of Batman staring at the mayor’s child, as Bruce sees himself in where that kid now sits was done perfectly to me. The emotion that Pattinson is able to convey in his eyes alone at many points throughout the movie is why he’s one of the best actors working right now.
That was in the script and asked for from the director. Also music and lighting helped. The directors decision to just hold longer on the profile view and pattinsons moves his eyes 👀 was intense. But not sure if I credit Pattinson for that choice.
@@StevanChase Things like that may be scripted by the writers and directors, but its completely up to the actor's skill to make it work. Some actors, like Pattinson here or Clint Eastwood if you want a really big name, can convey a whole range of emotion through body language alone. The way they walk, or smirk, or turn their head, or even just gaze at something/someone.
You can put an actor like Channing Tatum in the same suit with the same lighting with the same writing and the same directorial cues, but he's nowhere near good enough to be able to pull off that level of nuanced physical storytelling.
@@barryb.benson3370 Why would anyone choose Channing Tho? But don’t act like Channing can’t pull off a better fight scene. Other parts yeah, not even close. Channing is not the guy. You chose someone way off to prove your point. That’s like me saying getting the makers of Trolls shooting this same shot with ugly lighting, corny music, awkward camera angles would be able to pull of that scene. Not even close no matter if Pattinson played Batman, it’ll come off like kiddish. I’m talking about that certain scene should be credited to many others involved with deciding on holding that shot and telling him to look left or right. He did an amazing job, but to much credit to him. especially when it’s obvious how much the production team enhanced every single beautiful shot. And the sound FX. It can be Roberts voice narrating a certain part and people are still saying wow he acted that part very well, I’m like wait what he’s not even in the shot and still crediting him. Don’t get me wrong, I loved his portrayal acting in this Batman. But they picked him for a reason. He’s always played a bit emo roles, sad, mad, and very calm in the face. Perfect pick if this is the kind of Batman they were going for. Movies go through a couple years in preproduction making sure the movie looked good before even casting.
@@barryb.benson3370 It’s like crediting the lead singer but not the whole band. And the drummer wrote the song
@@StevanChase I picked Tatum because he's a big star and does fit the "action hero" prototype you see superhero/scifi movies go for. It wasn't too long ago that I saw a lot of people pushing for him to star in a solo Gambit movie.
My overall point was to illustrate that performances ultimately hinge on an actors abilities to portray the character. I personally don't think Tatum is a bad actor, but his skills are nowhere near what was needed here.
I wasn't trying to downplay the efforts of the director or rest of the crew. Like I said, I was just trying to illustrate that no matter how well written/directed/etc a role is, you need an actor that can bring that character to life. If anything, you were the one downplaying Pattinson's skills. You give him credit and then say "well not really, he only read a line/looked in a direction".
Also, a drummer can write a banger song, but if the lead vocalist stinks, the song is gonna stink regardless of how good the drummer/guitarist/bassist perform or how good the sound production quality is.
I absolutely love how Batman is portrayed as still getting over his parent's death and still figuring himself out as Wayne as well as Batman, it's a great detail and it is brought home when he realizes he needs to do more than just inspire fear and brutalize the criminals. I'm with you on those footsteps coming from the darkness, it is so Batman and chill inspiring.
Also, he seems to bond with that mayor's son at the crime scene, then saves him as Bruce at the funeral, then saves him as Batman in the flood, yes it makes sense that the late mayor's son was at these events, but I have to know, is his name Robin?
@@randomchance7796 same thoughts.
@@randomchance7796 maybe they wanted to show like a connection that Batman has to robin here, he wants to make robin not become him and be better, idk seems like a good reason.
This is a year 2 Batman. Still very much Learning on the job.
World's greatest detective, cuts the line he's holding onto. 😳😵💫😵
This was my favorite little detail in the movie: In the first scene where the Riddler is standing behind Mitchell and in the scene where he pops up from the back of the DA's car, I thought, "He really doesn't think anyone is going to notice him being right there." Then, near the end, when Batman talks to him, the Riddler says "For my entire life I felt like I was invisible."
One guy who I feel isn't getting enough credit is John Turturro as Falcone. I understand why, Penguin was too good but John was straight out of a Scorsese movie. I greatly enjoyed his take on the mobster.
Same here! I know John turturro thru his silly roles (transformers, mr deeds) but I was blown away seeing him here considering I didn’t even know he was in it. He did it perfectly
Broooooooooooo he was so good.
Yeah. His character reminded me of Adam Sandler in Hidden Gems
He was great! I really enjoyed his performance as Falcone!
I respectfully disagree, he just felt like turturro to me. He didn’t feel like falcone. Was definitely stunt casting imo. But I’m glad others enjoyed him!
I liked the GCPD escape and how Robert Pattinson expressed the fear of actually having to jump off the building like he did, really shows how he is learning how to be "batman"
I love how all the cops were swarming him, it was intense! And how he botched the landing!
That was my take on it as well. That scene was cinematic genius and so detailed that it took me beyond the obvious daring-do of the Batman. It showed, as great films do, the audience what he had to go through to become the iconic character. Plus I loved how he didn't have all his gadgets perfected, and everything on him had a purpose. To me, the devil was in the details. Pattinson was awesome in his own subdued way, again, showing not telling us how the Batman affected the landscape....with silence as Chris so rightly pointed out.
I didn’t like it the idea of Batman is that he has no fear he turned his fear into what motivates him so I feel like if he was afraid of gliding he should have been conquered that fear
@@Treski08 he's still human
@@uditvedantmishra9719 so let me ask you this if he was scared to fight a crowd of people because he was scared hypothetically would you say the same my point is it’s been previously established during his travels around the world before becoming Batman he conquered all his fears
This was one of the best looking movies I've seen in a long time. Just outstanding cinematography. Had such a unique look and color grade
I love how small and intimate the movie felt.
Same here, it was absolutely incredible seeing the riddler be made a threatening and serious villain for once, it kept the stakes small for most of the film with only a few murders here and there, but then the plan to completely upscale his plan by flooding Gotham was brutal. My jaw dropped. Such an incredible film
The scene where they reveal the bat mobile was maybe the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. It was like it was more than just a machine, it was a wild unhinged beast, and the beast was MAD. And the resulting car chase was INCREDIBLE
my only issue with the carchase was all the death and wreckage that Batman didn't seem to care about. lol
The part of the car chase when the explosion happens with the 18 wheelers and the batmobile jumps through it.. the few seconds of suspense with Penguin looking through the rear view mirror... oh my word how awesome it was
That sound the batmobile first makes as it powers up is other worldly, truly spine-tingling sound design!
It was amazing!
Thank you!!!!! Just such a menacing machine!!! Not enough people talking about how awesome the batmobile reveal was.
The introduction to Batman as a physical being, was stunning. It reminded me of Darth Vader’s breathing, but with footsteps. Fascinating.
the air of Batmans presence was phenomenal, felt like a 3hr cutscene of the Arkham games.. Reeves' focus on the elements... darkness/light... silence/sound.. i legit felt like i was Batman at times
the Batman theme also has a lot similarities with the Imperial March
So much better than a physical intervention!
He’s seems very Terminator-esk in his presence and way of facing fights. It was interesting take that worked, but I felt he needed a bit more sneaking around and taking out the baddies before they even and see him.
I have to say that to me was one of the best entrances in a movie I've seen of a main character. Hearing him land, then the footsteps and anticipation build and appear out of the shadows looking complete bad ass, loved it.
I LOVE the fact that this whole movie takes place at night, but you can see every detail. Such great lighting and silhouette effects!
Most dark films you can see zilch, but here it compliments it
I loved the scene where they interrogate the Penguin and then they leave him there with his hands and feet tied. He actually walks like a penguin.
One thing (among many things) that I loved about this film is how closely and often Batman and Gordon worked side by side
That was great. The guy playing as him was amazing tbh. I like how he trusted him so much and didn’t doubt him throughout the film.
@@meurumtrain4747 Jeffrey Wright is an amazing actor.
So you gotta punch me in the face take the keys, and go to the ROOF
They’re like bros
@@CheeksOfButthim telling Batman he could have pulled his punch only for Batman to say he did was priceless
The Batmobile reveal was so terrifying and intense. So many CHILLS. It was like watching Godzilla fight for the first time.
Yea that was one of my favorite scenes of the movie. Just the sounds alone was really cool. Building the intensity.
YEAH!!! That scene was amazing!!
By the time he hits Penguin everyone in my theater was yelling and hollering it was so well shot
Awesome yes, but not very well thought out.. at least a few drivers died in that fireball.. all the emphasis on not killing through the rest of the movie just felt a bit off
The way the engine screams
10/10 movie. My favourite scene was right at the end where Batman & Catwoman were riding through the cemetery overtaking each other like they were kids playing a game. Two singularly lonely solo creatures of the night having a playful moment together. It was tiny touches like this that makes this the best Batman movie for me.
The scene where he cuts the cord and near-electrocutes himself to rise up again, light a flare and become what Gotham needs him to be was absolutely, unbelievably moving. That scene is ingrained into my brain and it was so damn uplifting and good, and this shit needs to be a trilogy. Matt Reeves deserves all the praise coming his way.
Wait I didn’t get that… why would he cut the chord it felt a little dramatic… couldn’t he have just jumped down, or glided down, or grappled down ?
@@melonshimadaa9545 same it felt quite pointless to me
@@melonshimadaa9545 cos the cable was electrocuting shit
@@melonshimadaa9545 He cut the cord because it was about to shock the water below and people below. I think. I'm a little dumb. But I'm pretty sure that's why he cut it. The part that came off and fell with him was obviously disconnected to the rest of it that was broken and shocking. So yeah, he pretty much was ready to sacrifice himself to save people from being electrocuted. I think. Let me know if I'm wrong.
@@melonshimadaa9545 my take is that he cut it so that it couldnt electrocute the people below or just get down asap.
The shot where the riddler is there but we don’t see him until the light of the Tv becomes brighter was genuinely terrifying
Lol drama queen
@@07foxmulder ok
@@07foxmulder ??? What does this even mean? Also if anyone is a drama queen it’s you, complaining about how the climax scene was cheesy somehow ?? And the gun shots sounded stupid? Drama queen .
@@07foxmulder oh shut up
Lmao so many drama queens in the replies.
The Batman is easily my favorite live action Batman film ever made. Just a masterpiece all around
I really enjoyed this movie, it makes batman a badass like he should be, yet having a very interesting plot. The ridler is now one of my favorite batman villains
The absolute best scene in this movie is when he finally realizes what he needs to be for Gotham.
The car chase was my favorite action sequence but you’re right
Imo the best scene is when Falcone's men are shooting at him in the dark and all we can see of the fight is intermittent flashes from the gunfire while he's kicking everyone's ass.
My favourite was when Batman was standing in shadow in the opening of the movie !
IM WHATEVUGH GOTTTAM NEIHGS MEH THOBEEEE
Cool epic moments bro. Tell another
When Matt Reeves talked about a sequel, he specifically named Mr Freeze as a possible next villain, because he wants to find the grounded version of him. I would love to see Mr Freeze done right on the big screen
I want a mr freeze like the Batman animated series on the big screen!
@@anabriones2175 That would be awesome.
that's n(ice)
@@themakeupism It's been a long long time since ive checked the telltale Batman games, Did they actually get to Mr Freeze?
@@Snavels Yeah Mr. Freeze shows up in Season 2. I would also love to see Mr. Freeze as the next villain. Matt Reeves himself mentioned the Telltale games in an interview, and I felt their influence in this movie, from the suit to the way characters react differently to Batman and Bruce, something that Telltale did well.
I finally watched the movie. Loved the feel of the city. Kind of felt like the games
I love how the penguin calls batman vengeance. It’s fits in so well with the penguins charicter and the penguins portail in this move was fantastic and so gritty and realistic. That scene that I’m surprise somebody else picked up on when the riddlers guy turns around was fucking polorising, and I loved it. Made you really mind fuck like you could understand were the villains came from so you could exactly pick a side
This Batman has no business existing in the same universe as the latest Aquaman, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc.
This film was too damn good. Didn't notice it was 3 hours long. I'm hooked, I'm sold. I want more.
Agree, people like the Snyder cut of Justice League, but it was still dogshit. The iterations of those characters are glass thin and campy. This Batman is like the pro where the others are all on the varsity squad.
@@elliotjames5172 This guy gets it. Snyder version just further polished a turd. The only character done even remotely properly in that continuity for me was Diana/Wonder Woman but only in her first solo film. Bats in BvsS was a decent rendition of Frank Miller's DKR Batman but still not perfect. The rest are garbage and yes I love Henry Cavill and the dude looks like Superman/Kal El/Clark Kent and I truly believe he would be perfect if someone who understood the character wrote a film for him. Otherwise it's all trash. This is the best thing we've had since Nolans films. This stands equal to TDK to me.
@@justinrisen1929 are you serious
@@Brantlins Completely but curious as to what specific point you draw issue with in my statement?
Ahem...
I disagree on what you're getting at, although I agree on the basis that the tones and themes just wouldn't mix well
The opening monologue is some of the greatest stuff we’ve seen in a Batman film. Incredible portrayal!
I would give so much to get to watch the process of you making your movie. I also want to be a film maker, and have been since I was a kid. I've been thinking about how I could go about making a small project myself.
Easy man you just go and do it
Write a script you're happy with and raise some money to get the equipment to shoot the movie
Maybe shoot a cheap 10 minute engaging scene you can bring to show potential investors or put up on Go fund me
Thing is there's no big secret, it's either you do it or you don't, it's up to you to make it happen so go do it man, I think you can
@@bigrick3267 that is my plan in the long run, I need more experience and a good short story that is special enough
@@DarkSpaceStudios That's the hard part, getting the story you want to shoot
Engage yourself in things that inspire you, movies, books, creative writing etc and it will come to you
A good thing I do with my writing is just make a list of four or five random things in my house like say a coffee pot, the dog, a certain mug etc and then try to write a short story incorporating those things.
Like the coffee pot was used in a murder the mug had lipstick on it but no woman was around and the dog was trying to lead the cops investigating the scene somewhere.
Sounds silly but you'd be amazed where it could lead you
@@bigrick3267 thanks for the tips and encouragement. James Gunn recently tweeted a reply to me as well telling me I need to make a short film to get started. So I'm dead set on it. You're a writer?
@@DarkSpaceStudios Yeah I've always loved writing, it's been something I've been into since I was young.
Awesome on speaking with Gunn, that's really cool.
Good luck with it, I hope you get to achieve all your goals
It blows my mind that this is the first time we’ve really seen a Batman noir film. This is what Batman was meant to be.
I hoped it would actually be set in the past. Would be cool to see a noir Batman movie set in 1950's.
YES THANK YOU
You have no idea what noir is 😑
@@danielp1994 lol okay Daniel, please explain it
@@danielp1994
Noir
A genre of crime film or fiction characterized by cynicism, fatalism, or moral ambiguity.
It seems like this film fits that category relatively well.
The scene when they revealed the batmobile gave me chills. The engine revving up and getting louder and louder followed by a few back fires, you really feel the Shockwaves in the theater. Probably my best moment in a theater.
The Dolby sound experience made that scene 10x better.
Yeah the look on Penguin's face when the turbojet engine starts spooling up was priceless. And I beleive the funniest part of the movie was when he started screaming in victory "I GOT CHU! I GOT CHUUUUU!" only to look in horror when the batmobile return from the explosion.
That moment alone made me buy another ticket to watch again the next day
I was going to comment just for that part. Amazing moment.
I'm going to see Batman again solely to experience that chase scene holy crap was it amazing.
Amazing movie. I love when they make these superhero movies very realistic. First the joker. Now the Batman. Pattinson was great in the suit, but looked really anorexic in normal clothes lol great movie though.
I'm pretty sure you have Christopher Nolan to thank for that.
I love that detail though. like yeah he's probably wearing a shit ton of gear which would make him look beefier. but he is just a guy, a rich guy with gear and time to be the batman
"Looked really anorexic" i think you meant thin and even then he still had muscle
Just pre-ordered Shelby Oaks. I have been watching your channel for years and love your movie reviews and your personal story. Can’t wait to see what you will bring to the movie industry!
The thing that I found most surprising was how legitimately unsettling Paul Dano's Riddler was. He came off like a real life serial killer, while also feeling like a real domestic terrorist. I was legitimately terrified in the last third when their plan was revealed. But I also found the film to be surprisingly inspiring and touching. The scene of Batman leading all the people out of the flood was beautiful and symbolic of how even in an ugly world, there will always be good people to lead us out of the darkness.
totally agree, i love how the movie shows that he is (going to be) a hero, not just fighting crime and being broody and all that, almost made me cry haha
@Rafael HAHAHAH IKR, the riddler talking like a youtuber lmaaooo
Yeah also the psychology on him thinking that him and Batman were doing this to Gotham together was really symbolizing how much of a psychopathy he was.
But I found him as Heath Joker-wanna-be. From his videos on TV and his laugh. It was so cringy like when he said "aaaaaaa" near the end when talking to Batman
He always comes off like that! Haha
The social anxiety that Pattinson portrays as Bruce Wayne in public vs how it completely sheds off when he is Batman was so well done.
I very much enjoyed that touch on his character. I’m the end, you could read his body language that he wants Selina to stay and he wanted to kiss her, but his anxiety just didn’t allow him to do so
That was a great detail
yes incels like us may look to the bat as a symbol of "nope" now.
i'm happy I found your channel. You described almost every point as to why I think this is the definitive Batman movie for me. Also used to watch Mask of the Phantasm over and over as a kid. You've got a new sub here! thanks!
I've never seen your reviews but youre very intuitive and and observant. Thanks for putting real thoight into this.
The way they revealed the Batmobile, the way you see Bruce walk up in his Batman costume with the music. Honestly, the scenes wouldn’t be as amazing as they were without the music. The music just amplified everything.
I agree. It just goes to show how important a good soundtrack is
Was it me or was that scene played for comedy because it looked like his car shut off when he tried to shift into 1st gear after intimidating them with the engine start up
I think the scene introducing the batmobile gave me the most feels of the entire movie hahah it was incredible.
This should be the official Batman theme from now on
@@budgiecat2885 the engine was backfiring because it was shown in the batcave he had been tinkering with it, probably the first time he fired up the jet booster on that thing.
I love how every time Batman enters a scene, you hear his boots first before you actually see him, which makes it more ominous/menacing. Also the new Batman theme that they play for his entrances makes them even better.
@Chuck Buskee maybe he walks in a certain way to make it noisy ? Idk but maybe he can do that to make his entrance intimidating when necessary
I bet you'd like to knock Batman's boots
Wow, saw it last night, what a great film and stirring sound track, really enjoyed it, Robert Pattinson delivers one of his best performances as a actor, I actually started to cry as he leads the survivors through the flood waters with a torch. He won me over by the end and really impressed me with his performance.
I can't wait to see it again. I will admit when I am wrong and I was wrong about Robert Pattinson as he did a great job as Batman and has a brooding but controlled intensity that I did not think a former twilight actor was capable of. I was wrong and want to give credit where it is earned. Bravo to Robert Pattinson a great performance in such a physically demanding role.
I am ready to let Robert Pattinson continue in this role for several more films as he has earned that right in this film.
Matt Reeves does a amazing directorial job here as I love the score and soundtrack as well.
A brilliant film all the way around!
Thanks for all the love for Mask of the Phantasm. This for me was your Batman Play, I watched it so many times as a kid (and later as an adult). It truly is a masterpiece!
The final monologue by Batman is so damn uplifting, it genuinely took me by surprise.
Thats the moment he decided to become the batman instead of vengeance
Seeing him reach his hand with the flare in the other was an extremely moving visual it's when he finally became the hero he was meant to be
The violent Batman died and the wise Batman was born at the end of the movie.
@@PeanutButterAndJellyBros Batman the wise! Lol
Felt forced, the whole final act was a mess
The opening voice over was when I realized that this isn't just another Batman movie, this is actually a movie about Batman.
Me too. I thought it was epic.
I agree, the voice-over made this movie special...it gave us a glimpse into his thought process, which has never been explored in the other Batman movies. It added something to the overall tone.
It’s also about crime.
“I’ve gotta choose my targets carefully”
I think a great aspect of the movie that due to its hyper realism, when he was called freak throughout the movie so much it really put into perspective that this isn’t a superhero. Not yet. But he’s a detective, and dressed like Batman you get the sense that he is some kind of freak. This was the perfect Batman movie. And Pattinson absolutely destroyed the role as ledger did joker. Imagine ledgers joker and Pattinson Batman. Oh I get chills imagining that
those little jokes like the one you mentioned and the one about the gloves and the evidence later on just add that little bit and adds so much overall. Incredible film.
Wasn't sure I'd like it but after just watching it I can honestly say it's the best one yet. Robert Pattinson was brilliant as were all the actors, love tye cinematography and the music, it was dark and the director captured it in all the scenes.
Best scene for me: bruce and alfred having quiet moment in the hospital, that look on bruce's face before he says he's not afraid of dying, but is terrified of losing someone he loves, heart breaking
What… i mean to each their opinion but i didnt see enough of alfred in the movie togive a fuck about him
@@rskl8083 was barely in it and he gave a great performance of an Alfred we’ve never gotten before
@@rskl8083 My thoughts exactly. These are characters I love and yet I felt nothing because we hadn't seen any of either of them all throughout. So disappointed.
@@rskl8083 I don’t think Alfred made that scene but a peak about how Bruce feels during the bit of vulnerability. And how he looks at the kid that found his dad’s body. He does want to repeat those events that scarred him, for himself or anyone else
Definitely shed a tear during that scene
That scene with Bruce and Alfred in the hospital really hit me. The car chase really hit me. Batman/Bruce story arc hit me. Riddler really hit me. This movie was downright abusive towards me, and I loved every minute of it.
The hospital scene was poorly acted.
@@mrpussinboots4252 pattinson was amazing bruh what 😂
@@sircartier55 It felt cringe to me. Patterson wasnt amazing, Bruce Wayne usually has 3 distinct personalities yet in this movie he acted like the batman with and without the costume.
@@mrpussinboots4252 you didn't get what Reeves was doing
So many hits are u alright mate?
A masterpiece in story telling, visuals, acting...I was totally surprised with this movie. Making Batman not so much as a spot light hero, but more like an in the shadows spector.
Zoe was spot on as catwoman. Having these two characters sharing psychological tramas leading their motives was incredibly rewarding.
I've always enjoyed Batman Movies, but this was a different vision that for me was more exciting and fitting for all characters.
Making them all more " human" gave this movie such a better aspect of emotional magnetism. I'll watch this again.
I watched this movie last night and I gotta say, this is by far the best cinematic rendition of the caped crusader since the dark knight graced the big screen. I love the fact that the film opted to take us on a journey alongside the worlds greatest detective as he solved clues and chased down leads left behind by the films main antagonist. I was skeptical at first when news first surfaced of Robert Pattison dawning the infamous cowl but man I have never been so happy to be proven wrong. He truly brought the emotional trauma and conflict to life for us to witness when playing Bruce Wayne and how he transforms into such a dreadful thought for menacing law breakers once he was in that epic suit sent chills down my back. I think the worst thing anyone can do when going into this epic Gem is over analyzing it, your too consumed about all the trivial details it distracts you from generally enjoying the film. Also what's important to note is that this movie takes place during the 2nd or third year of Batman coming into existence, with that said our hero hasn't completely fine tuned his abilities to hide his pain while wearing those Billionaire shoes, hence why you can see dark brooding character similarities between the Billionaire and his Vigilante alter ego.. The grim deteriorating state of Gotham and the dark filter used added such a hopelessness to the general feel of the movie and watching on as the film progresses seeing how Gotham embraces its most infamous hero at the very end made the journey so much more rewarding. The story line, the acting, the cinematography, the fight scenes, the score and every thing else was off tap. Brilliantly crafted and may just well be in my opinion the greatest take on the caped crusader ever. 10/10.
I was smiling so much during this movie.
Felt like i was reading the comics and playing arkham knight the whole movie. Such good atmosphere
Dude, that's exactly what I thought while watching the movie. it has a lot of inspiration from Arkham games. The atmosphere gets you goosebumps 👏 . It was amazing. The real protagonist in this movie is Gotham .
this.
I was BEAMING when they revealed the batmobile, I was smiling from ear to ear
Very well stated. This movie gave me the detective feels I got from the Arkham games. People forget he’s the world’s greatest detective.
I swear it took me back to being a little kid again watching the animated Series hahahahaha
I love how Batman was vulnerable here. Like a man just doing his best with the resources he has.
Me too. Maybe it’s the millennial in me, but I could relate to the amount of emotional exhaustion he has.
He is definitely a hard worker and super zoned in, but maybe how he is focusing his energy isn’t what is working for him.
Towards the end, he has his epiphany about what he needs to do next and it hopefully sets him on a better path.
And it also shows the flaws of Bruce Wayne and how he's not immune to the biases he grew up with as a rich kid. Assuming for a second that the prostitute has a "choice" on whom she sleeps with.
Yes I liked that too. It actually shows that it really was his 2nd year fighting crime and that he’s still figuring things out.
Billions of dollars worth of resources 🤣 loved this movie!!
More than that, I really like how in this version being Batman is CLEARLY taking a toll on Bruce Wayne. I never bought the idea that a guy who spends all night fighting crime can put up a farce of being a spoiled playboy by day, so I like that they make the point that in this world bruce is a recluse
I love how at the beginning, the vandals and the armed robber are doing their thing with impunity, but as soon as the bat signel goes off, they GTFO. I especially love the scene where the armed robber is staring down the dark alley, he looked like he was pissing and shitting himself at the mere chance that Batman just might be hiding in the shadows.
My daughter who just turned 11 walked in the living room while I was watching The Batman tonight at the end of the batmobile chase scene when he walks toward the penguins over turned car.
Daughter: Is this the new?
Me: Yeah, it's the new Batman movie.
Daughter: That's badass Batman!
Me: Yes honey, that's badass Batman.
I love my kid 🖤
Since we're talkin spoilers: I love how things didn't end with Batman saving the day and everything going back to normal. Gotham is in the worst state that it's ever been, crime is at an all time high, and Batman's workload just quadrupled. I don't think we've ever gotten an ending to a Batman movie on that level. I'm freakin pumped for the next one.
Bro. Batman begins shows the city of Gotham full of fear toxin and all the criminals being left to roam. The Dark Knight shows a hospital blown, Harvey dent dies, Rachel dies, and it shows in the next movie The Dark Knight rises and how it affected Batman.And the Dark Knight Rises is the only one that shows a back to "normal" Gotham and even then Gotham was destroyed for 5 months from Bane. Bro Gotham never had a happy ending dummy.
@@kiba0729 chill bro damn, he said he didn't think we'd gotten an ending to a Batman movie on that level. which is absolutely right. in which other Batman movie did it end with Gotham being in absolute chaos as much as this one was? and he didn't even claim Gotham had a happy ending so I'm not sure what you're even getting at with your last sentence? at the end of the day it was his opinion, I get you've got yours but you can still be civil about it man it's fucking Batman we are all fans ffs
edit: seeing your previous comments on this video alone tells me you're not even interested in a civil discussion, so I look forward to whatever response you have to this
@@dafunkymonkee I said what movies ended in Gotham in absolute chaos. Did you read my previous comment or? I'll be civil if you actually want to think logically about this. There's a reason I'm so extra about this and it's because I'm very disappointed in this movie. Then you got people who HAVEN'T seen the movie, give it a 10/10 just to be relatable and repeat what the last sheep said. My previous comments might have offended you and I don't apologize for that. If you're a true fan, you would realize this is an okay movie at best. But this has been over hyped since day one, the whole cast was mid at best except for Penguin. And Riddle me this, why is this Batman so invincible? He took gunshots, a rifle from 5 feet, electrocuted, and yet he's just fine. In the warehouse scene, where he's on the floor, he somehow miraculously go 200 feet away to his batmobile. How. Because he's Batman? Before you say that this movie is the "best comic book movie"? Then just know, comic book accurate doesn't mean perfect. For an example, the Raimi trilogy, and the Nolan trilogy. And those movies are gold standards for movies and superhero movies for a reason. This is not as good as everyone says. And I'm not alone on this so I know I'm not isolated on this. Before you also try to write me off as a "Marvel fanboy", I do appreciate the marvel films, but I'm also super critical on all the MCU films as well. There is a few movies that are a 10/10 for me but this movie isn't even a week old but it's a 10/10? Sure thing.
Yes, that's a good point. Things are a bit messy in Gotham that won't be solved because one criminal genius, who was one step ahead of the police, was put behind bars. Sure, the riddles were simple...and the Riddler was having fun with it. It tickled me a little when he called them out as "great" detectives. The next one should be awesome, hopefully. This one kind of reminded me of Batman Begins, where he learns and adapts as he goes along. 2 year Batman is not going to have all the answers...were there missteps in this movie, of course, but I loved that Reeves went "balls out" - I'm going back to see it again.
@@CrayCruz I respect your opinion. If I could, I would give you a firm handshake 🤝
I love that Batman says that he has to "force" himself to remember everything that happened on a given night because he's so tired from his long hours patrolling the city.
It really added to the realism of it, showing his mental state and that he has to write down everything and record everything for evidence or he'll forget.
Yup! The version of Batman right before and during the early issues of Knightfall are my favorite. Dude is so burnt out, so tired, so injured from night after night of fighting but he still forces himself to keep going until he literally gets his back broken
That eye tech was masterful 👏🏽👏🏽
@@bigdadybojangls9219 hahaha. No. This Emo-Wayne is nothing like Bruce in Knightfall. Chuck Dixin was not inspired by Nirvana.
@@willbontrager6209 develop reading comprehension and then try again.
@@bigdadybojangls9219 How do I do that ol sage? Is it the eye shadow he wears in Knightfall? I missed that key detail.
Loved this movie, you're spot on with how the movie used silence, discrete noises, music and sounds (like the car reveal), was truly immense. I also loved how this was more of a grown-up thriller, rather than you're average superhero movie. Just felt more centred around the story and characters, and a whole lot less pouty than the Nolan films. Best Batman/Superhero movie I've ever seen.
I love the scene from above when he has the flare and the people follow him like that was the symbol and turning point that he is the hero or something.
Can we all collectively agree that *Colin Farrell nailed the Penguin so well* ? He literally became the character itself , that’s why folks said he is completely unrecognisable. He definitely went a 180 with this long after his role as Bullseye
Paul Dano played the Riddler role really well, I wish we seen more of his face , that one scene with him in that jail cell was amazing. His facial expression with the smirk conveyed he is crazy deep down, an ordinary person on the outside but a psychopath on the inside. John turturro was surprisedly good as Carmine Falcone considering his previous roles
I wish we could’ve gotten the Court of owls connection with the Wayne family , that’s the only letdown for me
Robert Pattinson - a great Batman
Zoe Kravitz - She was a good Catwoman
Jeffery wright - a great Jim Gordon
We finally got a detective based Batman after so long. This was a decent Batman movie, the sequels are definitely gonna be something special
All I can say that Dano's performance as Riddler is just as good as Heath Ledger as the Joker. Yeah I said it. And I feel bad for some parents in my theater. Dano's performance as Riddler was so scary to the point some children wanted to leave with their parents 😂😂😂. I guess this isn't just your average normal PG13 comic book movie
i went-in wanting to love pattinsons performance, but yeh, Colin stole the movie
it’s so funny for me cause I literally didn’t know that was him. I knew he was in the film but that was it and didn’t realise that was him until the credits rolled 😭😭 I deadass was like ‘Uhmm where’s Colin?!?’ the whole time 😭😭😭
Right but wondering why they changed is name to Parker
He did a 180 you mean. 360 would mean he was back where he started.
The first 20mins of the movie was easily my favourite part, from Riddler's first appearance to the way Bruce explains how criminals fear him lurking in the shadows with Michael Giacchino's score playing over it, shivers. Cinema perfection.
100 percent agreed
Yea I wish the rest of the movie was as good and it could have been an all time classic. But at least they have room for improvement on the next one.
Me too. How the cops didn’t trust him as well. Throughout the move he was called a freak several times. You get that sense. It’s like you’re looking at Batman through the eyes of everyone else there
@@Ray-dl5mp bro what are you talking about
Matt Reeves was an amazing pick. I still don’t know exactly how it reminds me of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but I know an amazing trilogy is ahead of us
For the locations I felt it was fitting for them to go back to the same place, the ice berg lounge. The pillar balcony... it makes sense bc batman in his early years wouldent get all the information going to a location or would be too aggressive to get anything out of anyone. It makes sense because at this time batman is a detective but like every other detectives the same location always has some sort of missing "thing"
When Nirvana kicks in when hes driving his bike home at the beginning sold me. And Colin Farrell blew me away as the Penguin. I knew it was him, but watching it, I still couldn't see Farrel at all. This was a movie for Batman fans, straight up. Anyone who thinks its boring and Batman is too emo, clearly has never read a Batman comic.
Well put. Reeves set the tone damn near perfectly with the quiet, observant and intelligent Batman solving riddles with Gordon (loved their chemistry).
Read all or most of Batman comics, the big stories anyway, and this was taint sweat from Ron Jeremy. So overhyped was this movie I thought I'd hear Flavor-Flav in the terribly-lit background trying to cheer up an eternally depressed Emo-Batman.
Yes batman was great.
But his Bruce Wayne
Where's the charisma?
Where's his power?
I get this is year two batman, but it's the only thing I didn't enjoy. Kinda reminded me of Jason Todd honestly.
Setting that aside though the movie was fantastic.
@@willbontrager6209 yes, cause Batman was so joyous in the comics
@@Chicanochars he doesn't have to exactly be like the comics dude. The movie can be its own thing and take inspiration from else where
I love the narration at the start, because most Batman books start with Batman thoughts or a narration, then it worked way more when you see he was actually writting a journal of sorts. This might be my favorite Batman movie
I enjoyed that aspect a lot. I was surprised at how much I missed having that element in a Batman movie, until they added it in this one.
YES YES YEEEES!!!
Unfortunately I rewatched the Batman LEGO Movie about two weeks ago. Hard to take that narration seriously when you are hearing LEGO Batman in your mind...
Yeah some profession critics kind of snickered at it, which immediately told me that they weren't batman fans.
I really enjoyed the narration. it felt a lot like "Rorschach's diary.." but thats not a bad thing. its Bruce/Batman barely holding on to his own sanity and filled with that same hatred for the criminals destroying the city. The difference is how they deal with that and how they end up.
This is my number 1 comic book movie and, possibly, my number 1 action film to boot. Visually it was breathtakingly beautiful and the music drew me in and awed me. Amazing.
I'm so excited for you and Shelby Oaks.
"It's a big city. I can't be everywhere . But they don't know where I am "
At first I was like oh no, an edgy noir voiceover
But this line sold me. And the movie didn't disappoint
Will watch again.
“I must choose my targets carefully”. That’s when I knew.
I think Colin Farrell amazed me the most. Guy melds seemlessly into every role he's given and it's really impressive. Very few actors can do it as well as he does.
I had no idea that was Colin Farrell holy shit
Haha no way I had no idea either. Makes it even better
Well, I be damned, mind blown. I stayed away from checking anything related to this movie and just go to the thetre and watch first. Had no idea, he was the one behind those heavy makeup and prosthetics. Amazing performance.
Oh my goddddd I literally saw after Yang YESTERDAY and did not know that was Collin Farrell.
@@allisonchainz82 did you not watch any trailers or see the cast list lol? Or see ANYTHING about the movie or any articles? How could you not know that was him??
This is the first review I've seen that "gets" this version of Bruce Wayne. Most people keep saying that him being emo and reclusive sucks but I loved it so much for all the reasons you listed off.
I really love this movie and the dark tone. Like the castings are so great. One thing I would have changed is the fact that Batman and Gordon just solve the riddles as soon as riddler says them. I think it would have been cool to let the audience think about it a little
I loved the scene where the Batman and Gordon interrogate someone, they are so in sync that they are just finishing each other's sentences as if they've done this so many times in the two years the Batman's been active.
Good Cop/Batshit Cop
@@TommyCeltic bro that line had me roooolling lmao
Exactly, and I loved how aggressive and badass Commissioner Gordon is :D
@@ralfc7363 it wasn’t that funny big bro
The fight scene with only bullets lights , amazing. The car chase scene , amazing. The riddler 5 min performance from the prison , amazing.
The muzzle flash fight scene was incredible. However, I was bothered that he was able to walk through those bullets like they were nothing, then gets HAMMERED by the shotgun blast in the end.
@@ComedyBros5 the shotgun blast he took to the back in the iceberg lounge literally knocked him off his balance so there was a sense of realism to those shooting scenes still
Right?? And at the end of the car chase scene when penguin is stuck in his flipped car, and we get this long shot from his POV as Batman slowly gets out of the bat mobile and stalks towards him with heavy footsteps… that part was truly chilling!!
shit was boring asf. stop playing
@@ComedyBros5 but he would be deaf! Those many rounds up close… he would be deaf. Try and shoot a round… good luck!
Chris, im wishing you the best for the project. I admire people who chase their dream and really puah to make it. Keep going strong.
What the heck am I a a stuckman fan now! You have convinced me movies are getting better with honestly and loyalty. You and Johns are truly the best let’s go! 😊
I loved how they really leaned in on the whole “world’s greatest detective” side of Batman in this movie
Agreed! Batman has never been betrayed as being smart in all the other films. At least to me. This version nailed it
@@bandkaih I liked the fact that while he was shown as a great detective, he still failed. He didn't stop the bombs from going off and the city still flooded.
It was the first thing I noticed and I said in the theater "It's about time we saw some Detective Comics"
@@heroscapewarrior4217 Let's be honest here, even in the comics, Batman is aware the Riddler is somewhat smarter than him, if it wasn't for Nigma's compulsion to leave clues he couldn't catch him, so him outsmarting Bats when he isn't as familiarized with him makes sense.
@@heroscapewarrior4217 Yeah that adds a ton of great tension to the story "They think I'm in the shadows, but I can't be everywhere at once"
I hope that pays off in the third film where the people of Gotham end up saving the day, this movie does Gotham so well.
Compared to Dark Knight with the boat scene...I really don't think Gotham as an entity earned that. Just earlier in the movie you had citizens trying to kill that guy Joker marked.
That scene shot upsidedown after the chase scene with the Penguin was epic heroism. The cape blowing in the breeze with flames rising behind him was so satisfying.
Plus the score playing too
That scene was beyond amazing. Gave me chills.
with the score playing too, shit was badass
SOOOO many people died in that car chase hahahaha why is no one talking about that??
@@ghostboiyurei7121 No they were all just slightly injured, kinda like the Man of Steel fights.
There are several things that they decided in include in this iteration that I absolutely love. His fighting style in this film is much more rough and gritty compared to past versions, but given that the movie takes place very early in his career, it makes sense that his fighting style would not be as smooth as past iterations as they were more seasoned crime fighters. I also agree with Chris that it was a great idea to have Bruce be more of a recluse then a billionaire playboy this time around. I think that it's more believable that the young boy who watched his parents be gunned down in front of him would be more likely to grow up become a rather secluded and introverted then a flaunting playboy billionaire, especially if he stayed in Gotham throughout his high school years. I also loved how they touched on Bruce's fear of loosing those close to him. The only person he still has in his life from before that fateful night is Alfred. Everyone else in the story, besides Riddler, only knows him as the Batman. Even Selina Kyle, his great love interest from the comics, doesn't learn who he is. It feels very grounded that as much as he believes he has conquered fear, he is forced to admit that he is still afraid of loosing those close to him when Alfred almost dies in the explosion. The cherry on top for me was that as different as the Batman and Riddler were, they were also so close to being the same. They both want to change the city for the better. Bruce believes that the city can still be saved, while Riddler believes that the entire system has to be town down before it can be made better. That although everyone, including Bruce, knows that Gotham may indeed be past saving, he chooses to keep his faith in Gotham. That although he knows his efforts may prove to be fruitless in the end, he still believes that someone has to do something.
Wonderful to hear you be this enthusiastic about the movie.
I feel exactly the same.
I really loved the sound design and music choices. Did anyone else notice during the chase scene with Penguin, when he runs over all the traffic cones; the sound of them hitting matched the beat of the music in the background. It was a very small detail, but it made the scene even cooler than it already was
I was thinking this exact thing but only noticed during my second viewing!
Ngl I was very proud of myself for noticing this too hahaa
The sound design and music choices could not have been any better for me!
I love people who pay attention to details!
I noticed it too, I thought I was crazy
my favorite scene was at the end when Batman used the flare to lead people out the water and helping people out the wreckage. It was honestly the simplest yet most beautiful scene.
I was thinking the same - symbolic to the idea of help people out of darkness into the light.
Walking with a flare? Wow breath taking
@@antonioburnette4011 i know right it was downright the best movie scene of all film history , everyone in the theater started clapping and threw money at the screen.
It felt like a renaissance painting
I loved it too, it was done in a way that was very relatable and human, like you don't have to be a powerful demigod in order to be a hero. I could easily see firefighters do what Batman did in that scene.
I really loved all the club scenes and the music too. Love how they kept it dark!
Are we not gunna talk about how the Batman penguin chase seen!? Holy sh*t it was good!
Everyone fearing The Batman even when he’s not there in the shadows is perfection.
I really hated how they kept calling him “vengeance” in the trailers bc I thought it was so corny. But I really loved how that name tied to the theme in the third act when the Riddler henchman said “I am vengeance”. It really highlighted Batman’s character arc. This film really felt like an origin film without being an origin film and I love that. You don’t need to show how a superhero learns to fight or gets his costume in order to show how they actually become a superhero. The MCU Spider-Man trilogy did the same thing and I love that approach.
The MCU Spider-Man is a complete mess. They got lucky with No Way Home because they used the original villains and the PS4 game's story as a crutch.

Just saw that Shelby Oaks surpassed it's highest stretch goal! Super excited to see what comes of the project and what you're capable of with a decent budget.
I just watched it on HBOMax. It's the best Batman film ever made but also just a really great film, very suspenseful, great performances all around. Can't say enough good things about Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon. And Paul Dano as The Riddler...WOW. And of course at the end we get a glimpse of THE Batman villain. Nope, I'm not joking, he's in the cell next to The Riddler.
He literally becomes a beacon of light when leading the people out of the water with the torch.... literally gave me goosebumps.
But did it literally?
I love how similar they made Batman and the Riddler. It started with a shot of Riddler's point of view looking at the mayor. Batman had the same kind of shot looking at Selina. Batman's perspective looked so much more creepier as well.
He was enjoying watching Catwoman getting undressed.
Yes I noticed this! The round lense over the camera. To trick you for a moment into thinking it’s the riddler again and then you’re like oh no it is actually Batman. Loved it
@@emmadow4880 When it was the Riddler, I thought it was Batman. And when he first was in the shadows, I definitely thought it was Batman. I was surprised when it was the Riddler. Batman would be such a scary villain.
On point. With the make up especially 👌
Edit: Everything you said was on point. Great review.
I'm glad to see your take on the movie and how you get so well all the details this movie has in every scene, specially with silence. It treats the audience with respect.
I've seen so many dumb takes in random youtube thumpnails talking about the movie... Some people really do need movies that treats them as dumbos I supose. Glad this movie is doing so well and that most people is loving it, can't wait to see more of it. Loved Pattinson as Batman in his early days.
The scene where the riddler tells Batman his backstory about being an orphan and he tears up and see how similar they really are. Plus how much worse his life was without the billions of dollars to make being an orphan go down a little easier. Is the best scene without a doubt.
That scene got me to for real I felt like the Riddler was the Anti Hero in this film in a way no lie
@@georgebeard3300 He’s still a psycho though trying to kill innocent people who had nothing to do with it
@@georgebeard3300 he might have qualified as an anti-hero if he was just killing the legitimately bad people, but the stunt with the sea wall? Nah, massacring a city isn’t antiheroism; that’s villainy.
Also, he specifically targets Bruce Wayne, who did nothing to him. He was jealous that Bruce got attention as an orphan while he and the other orphans were left forgotten. Was that tragic? Yes. Was it Bruce’s fault? Hell no, he was a kid!
That was pretty obvious though.
That scene was pretty deep. Personally, I thought the scene where Bruce finds out his parents weren’t exactly saints and did business with crime boss Falcone, to keep the family’s secrets safe was even crazier.. that was such a plot twist to me.. I’m glad Reeves decided to add that type of aspect to this movie. It really makes you look at the Wayne family from a different perspective, understanding that having all the money in the world isn’t everything. Great film.
I really liked how the riddler revealed that Martha Wayne was someone that frequents the Arkham Asylum.. knowing that there are psychiatric disorders that run in families, its possible that Bruce may have inherited some of that as well. It could explain why he is the way he is bec in spite of having a dark origin story, it still isnt normal to dress up like a bat, beat up criminals, and spend your millions on tech for your vigilante crusade. I know, it is all fiction. But that detail makes this film feel all the more grounded in reality.
Did you say Martha? Why did you say that name? That's my mother's name XD
