I agree with you, he's super edgy the whole film, but I don't think this theme really hit home because we never actually see him get hurt. Like I get the movie is trying to be like "he's hurting on the inside" but my man is tanking bullets left and right like he's superman, and despite all the things that happen to him in the film, he basically just shakes it all off like it's nothing. It's hard to have this theme of self destruction if it isn't really shown. I think you could even apply this on a more emotional scale. Like he's clearly very depressed and having trouble emotionally, but we don't see his behavior affecting his relationships really. By the end of the movie he's "got the girl" and everything seems to be on the up and up, but that's not because he changed anything about himself.... it just, you know, happened XD
@@nattteo I hear you, definitely agree w what you’re saying. I think we do get small bits and pieces of that in the film, although it’s very subtle. Like when we see Bruce in the bat cave and his back is all scarred and bruised, or when he retaliates against Alfred like an angsty teen saying “you’re not my father”. Maybe if we saw more of these repercussions it could’ve hit that idea home a little harder. I personally enjoyed the subtleties of the film and what it had to offer, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing more of Bruce’s character in this aspect as well.
@@nattteo tbh this whole "he changed something inside himself/learned something, so he could solve the problem at the end" is an overused formula and I wouldn't blame the plot for not repeating it.
@@nattteo I mean by the end the dude has to inject himself with whatever weird chemical to be able to keep moving. He definitely got hurt and we see it. Or when he eats shit with the wing suit. Or hell, the whole sequence where he ends up unconcious in the GCPD because a bomb exploded on his face.
Just because there is CGI doesn't mean it won't look as good as real stuff... The time travel suits in Endgame looked %100 real and yet they were all computer generated. The CGI that looks best is the CGI you don't even notice to be CGI
And the real car jumping out of the explosion was digitally adjusted to better match the real car (they used a stunt version with bigger suspension for that stunt). There are also quite a lot of full CG shot or big augmentation to the original plate (adding rain, traffic, etc...), the explosion shot on location was much smaller and was augmented later on. It's not amazing because they hardly used any CGI, it's amazing because it was really well thought out and really well shot in conjunction with the stunt team, VFX team and cinematography.
I kinda love how ppl look at Batman like he’s a weirdo when he’s present during the crime scene because think about it in a real life scenario. If some regular person dressed like in all-black, with a cape, and a mask symbolizing an animal, walked into the room to examine a crime scene wouldn’t you look at them side ways too
Listen, if I'm a police officer in the shitshow that is Gotham, and my superior decides to bring his furry boyfriend to an investigation, I'm gonna mind my business
I would say both,I wore a Harry Potter Gryffindor robe and a red cloak in public (it was during high school took lol)and my classmates deffently looked at me weirdly...So I understand Batman kinda and why onlookers would look at him weirdly...The cloak/Gryffindor robe was worn after Halloween....
Also, the serum he took was just epinephrine/adrenaline (confirmed by the director). The double barrel to the chest broke like 3 ribs and just about knocked him out. He literally didn’t have the strength to pull himself up while hanging, or stand when Catwoman was attacked. So he needed a little boost. While epinephrine is clear is real life, it was colored green for dramatic effect, similar to how the C4 explosives were all giant fireballs, when C4 is essentially flameless in reality.
The thing about him being the “weakest” Batman is because he’s young and reckless. He’s been the Batman for two years and only by the end of the movie he understand his role as more important than this vigilante guy that scares people. He’s building to be strong and smart, so he’s not the best at it yet and I think that’s amazing.
Tbh I think it makes sense for Batman to not be super buff. In order to build a lot of muscle he would have to: use steroids, sleep 8 hours a day while eating chicken and broccoli 5 times a day. I could see Pattinson's Batman sleeping through the day because he is an heir, but how would Bale's Batman have a good sleep while he is a business man by day AND fights crime by night?
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult what people don’t realize is that he likely did all of these with exception of the steroids- I guarantee he was pretty focused with diet and exercise. Steroids play a massive factor in the physiques of superheroes and fan favs like Thor and Captain America wouldn’t be nearly as big as they are on screen without chemical assistance.
Weirdly enough his feats in this movie far outshine Bale’s fighting scenes in the nolan trilogy. You actually get the sense he’s a master martial artist I mean he barely struggled with fighting goons except for the dude who just blasted his shotgun in his chest. Batman easily overpowers a few guys at once. Bale just flailing his elbows around always looked stupid to me. Ben and Rob had far better choreography.
I think the ‘bad casting’ kind of adds to the story, with Gotham being a disorganized city with a lot of crime. A not-intimidating officer and a ‘weak’ DA fit that picture. It can make the audience feel helpless or frustrated even, the feeling that everything depends on Batman, who isn’t the perfect savior either. Kind of dark if you think about it that way
You got to be kidding me Are you going to defend every single thing in this bat movie This movie isn't flawless like most other movies These people in comments are talking about how everything is perfect and adds to it fuking hell this is making me mad
@@Sadgamer-143 Stop acting like a whiny kid and get it through your head that people can have different opinions. If they liked the movie then so be it.
@@Sadgamer-143 are you saying that most other movies are flawless? What? Perfection is a myth, an impossible goal that no one can ever achieve. This movie by no means is perfect but it was a good movie.
I watched this in the theater with some friends, and we lost it at the “AVEEEEEE MARIAAAAAAAAAAA” bit. The Riddler is peak comedy and you cannot convince me otherwise.
this movie had a ton of good jokes and I think people miss because it’s not the typical superhero comedy like when the thumb drive scene happened I was the only person in the theater to audibly laugh both times I saw the movie in the theaters
My friend and I laughed so much at the thumb part lol but with the movie in general too, and the theatre was so quiet and didn't know why my friend and I thought certain scenes were so funny 😂
If he cuts the cord, the part that falls into the water is no longer electrical, so it wont electrocute anyone in the water. it wasnt about dropping the extra weight, it was about severing the cord and therefore cutting off the electricity & its ability to become lethal in the water.
When I was watching it, at first I knew he was thinking about the electricity, but then I get distracted or something and I thought he just did a lot of dramatic stuff just to fall into the water. My friend had to explain it to me😂
@@andrearolher6995 and the way he dramatically fall with the dramatic music in the background like me and my mom thought he was gonna die or at least gets injured but no! he just gets up like nothing happened 😂🤦🏻♀️
@@NA22427 That was a religious motif. It was his baptism. Batman had just come to the realization that he needed to be more than just vengeance, and in that scene, falling into the water, he is reborn as hope. It's the climax in Batman's character arc. The kid being the first to trust him and take his hand in the following scene further accentuates not only Batman's character development, but also his change in image in the eyes of the people he's trying to protect, a stark contract to the beginning of the movie, when even the people he saved were scared of him. Reeves could not have possibly made the motifs more obvious. There's only so much you can spell out for the audience.
@@whale2269 yeah it was the first moment he decided to save people rather than just pursue a target. this movie is quite a bit more deep than the other super hero movies that have come out as of late. i think people hear batman and expect spectacle but this movie was a lot more like Seven than Avengers.
What i like about this Movie is that it doesn’t already shows Batman as the Master of his Work. He‘s 2 years in and not really experienced with Villains that big. It also shows that he isn’t the mysterious Hero, he‘s just a Dude/Detective in a Spandex with armor
I think what people missed most about this movie is that this is a really young Batman. This is year 2 Batman. He's still learning the ropes. You can even see some of the hesitation Batman has before doing some stunts because he's probably never done anything like that before. He's basically still in training. We're so used to seeing Batman already knowing everything, knowing every corner and street of Gotham like for Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. Their Batmans were masters already. This is a first for a live action Batman to see him becoming who he's supposed to be and learning what Batman is. We gotta give Robert Pattinson more of a chance. I think he did amazingly as Batman/Bruce Wayne
this! the amount of times i've had to explain this to people like... JFC how often has it been pointed out now?? and they still act as if he's lame or whatever
@@batmanshousewife Yeah, especially the part where that random police officer tells Batman that the murder weapon is a carpet tucker because his uncle works with carpets which leads Batman to discover Riddler's plan that doesn't make any sense and which Batman was not able to stop anyway. "Decent writing" for sure LOL
about the lack of sexual tension between Catwoman and Batman: That was OBVIOUSLY intentional. We've seen Robert Pattinson in several movies that included love stories. He can play the "being in love" part very well and from Twilight we also know that he can portray intentionally holding back those emotions (while Bella is still a weak human). If they WANTED sexual tension between catwoman and batman or reciprocated desire from batman, we would've gotten it. But this was supposed to be one sided on catwomans side
So, fun fact, Matt Reeves confirmed Batman's weird attempts to speak to Selina near the end when incapacitated (before he injects the adrenaline or whatever into his leg) was Bruce trying to tell Selina his name... Because he had fallen in love.
@@someone3195 I didn't say it was all good, bit as someone who also read the books, he portrayed that part of him perfectly. and that's just how I see it.
I agree wholeheartedly! Say about twilight what you will (though I love every part of it dearly so you won't find me speaking of it negatively haha), the book to movie adaption rate in terms of faithfulness is honestly executed perfectly!@@LouisaMarit
Dude, she barely knows him nor did she even spent enough time with him for the rest of the movie. Half of it was either her working with him or just leaving out-of-the blue.
@@pixiewashere She likes that mystique , he’s so clearly damaged and it intrigues her. Bruce is uninterested most of the time until the end when he realizes he cares about her
This Batman is the youngest of all the other Batmen hence all the angry, mistakes and complete lack of attempts to have a social life outside of Batman it's from the comics...This isn't a well seasoned vet yet, this is vengance and the end of this movie shows him taking his first step into the role.
I think this movie had a wonderful grunge and emo vibe. There was a lot of funny camp which is a different but cool take combined with the serious themes of an obsessive rookie vigilante with Nirvana playing on the background. I loved the black makeup. I thought his serious face was intentional because this Bat couldn't be more brooding. One of my favorite moments was when Bruce put sunglasses on indoors. That was very tongue-in-cheek and aware.
The reason why Robert's Batman takes so many bullets/hits and runs through hallways, etc. instead of being this smooth Batman is because in this film Bruce has just been Batman for two years. He aint that experienced yet. So it's supposed to be a little awkward like that.
@@killmutt but it is a video game clearly, otherwise he would’ve had damage, he isn’t Superman yet he keeps getting up and walking away from everything like he is, it takes you out the movie
Dylan, the point of the bat signal is not just to tell Batman to meet up, it’s to strike fear into the hearts of the criminals. If they see the Bat signal, they will know that Batman is on the prowl and will be more afraid to do bad things
17:40 fun fact, they actually used a special LED screen setup to film this scene so that they had a lot more time to film it. Its the same setup that they used on the mandalorian to film a lot of scenes and its really cool to see it used in more movies to get really interesting backgrounds for important scenes.
I haven't seen many people talk about this: so I know a lot of people thought there was no chemistry between Batman and Cat Woman, but realizing that Cat Woman was into stray cats and taking care of them, and that goes to show how even though there didn't seem to be any intimacy between her and Batman it's almost as if she saw him as a stray. Which is is why she was attracted to him. She was attracted to the mystery behind him, and that would explain why she wasn't big into trying to find out who he was under the mask. I hope this makes sense lol.
That’s how I read it too. That line said a lot without saying too much, at least in my opinion. Like she kind of recognizes without realizing it that he’s like her and so there’s just this sort of instant bond between the two of them because they’re so similar even though they’re kind of on opposite sides.
I just realized this channel comforts me so much because I relate to Dylan being a giant mouthy nerd that noone seems to respect, but here all the followers appreciate the humor and jokes and it just makes me feel so much less alone if only to see someone I can relate to. Thank you Dylan. Seriously. I know heart felt really isn't this channels theme but thank you. Seriously.
He understands that but there is the part they used as message, like when Catwoman signals, batman and officer thought the other one did it. They can just send email or something.
@@Jopekos I like Dylan but he often doesn't even pay attention to the movie and then complains about something which is already explained just for comedic effect. It gets annoying and tiring at times.
@@anom6707 he clearly knows his movie stuff but he’s not good at paying attention to dialogue that involves exposition unless he can make a quick little joke about it, one minute he says it’s a comedic review and then the next he starts giving poor critiques cause he was talking over important scenes
The reason why the guy says “who the hell are you supposed to be” is because it’s Halloween night. And Batman at this time is very elusive and not everyone knows what he looks like exactly. Also, the serum, I thought, was implying that it’s venom(?) from bane. But I think the writers said it’s just adrenaline… although I think they’re up to something lol
I'm so happy to hear you mention My Name. That entire show hits every point - the action, the mood, the emotion. I am genuinely obsessed with how well it was made.
dylan - "why do they need the bat signal when cellphones exist" also dylan - pauses at exact moment the movie explains the bat signal is there to scare criminals also also dylan - cuts the scene
@@nagag-cube3225 I agree. Especially when he misses something while he’s making a joke or talking and blames the movie for not showing or telling him information when they actually did he just didn’t catch it. He probably does see it or hear later on when he’s editing tho.
when he said "which is a skill of mine... self control" i started laughing immediately thinking that he was gonna say the video is sponsored by skillshare guess that was a misdirect
I absolutely felt the tension in the Selina-spying scene. She's playing the role of an escort in a room full of drunk/high extremely powerful men and on TOP of that, she's spying. Like, I wouldn't even want to walk through that room.
So the cutting the electrical wire scene. I think the reason it is so dramatic is because Batman (not Batman, Vengence) technically died when he fell in the water. When he emerged, it's like when a baby is baptized. He was reborn as the Batman after rising from that water. Before, he was just a tool for fear. But he became a beacon of hope by the end, that overhead shot with him leading those people out with a flare is one of my favorite scenes in movies ever
i was also as confused as he is about why it was so dramatic. I don't normally notice those things but I was so confused why it was going on for so long lmao
I also liked that in the beginning, we see him hiding in dark places, literally a shadow. But him with the flare guiding those people, he literally became a light to them.
A lot of people get so weird about long runtimes in certain movies but I think this one is a clear example of why that can be a good thing; shots are held for longer periods than in other movies, especially without dialogue, but that isn't a useless device - it helps to communicate things subtly, build tension, atmosphere, blah blah, but it can also really help an audience to digest what they're seeing as things play out. And then especially if that slow pace switches to something really fast-paced - like the car chase scene - it REALLY feels like a change in pace, which just adds to the effect.
I think some shots could've been cut. Some parts felt really long and for all the plot they didn't give Batman much of a personality. Also if they cut the romance and just kept them as allies I would've been more satisfied.
@@yukikanegawa7470 I think if their romance had been cut it would've been good too, or at least if they had maybe tried it a bit differently - or just built it up over a few movies or something :)
I think some people took this movie too seriously bc it was supposed to be artsy and deep. The scene when Riddler was singing had me cackling and I got so many glares in the movies for that lmao
Nah these comments are wild. Ppl picking exact seconds of the movie and explaining exactly what that specific shot means in this and that way. Its so funny to read the fanboy comments
@@pierogilover01 i think the argument he's trying to make, which honestly i kinda agree with, is that this movie is considered by many as more than just a "superhero" movie, a 'masterpiece' that they jump to defend at any sort of criticism. It gets worse when a lot of the same fans will say you aren't mature enough to understand the movie if you didn't like it because they DO perceive it as an artsy movie, made for those of high intellect. This isn't a jab at you, just trying to explain why he's upset.
Does anyone get how hilarious Pattinson being Batman is? He played Edward. A vampire. Also associated with bats. Batman was actually rumoured to be a vampire. Heck he was one in comics.
Hufflepuff are particularly good finders and Batman is a detective. And while Hufflepuff’s symbol is the European Badger badgers are still badass and they share the same family as the Wolverine another badass creature.
Actually that buildup with the penguin and the batmobile worked amazingly in the theater because it was so quiet and it built until the theater seats were literally shaking... So good. The only issue I had was that it was too long, they could have condensed the ending(s)
Agreed. After seeing it in theaters a total of three times, and several others at home, the scene is great but soooo long and at some points the additional cuts and long takes actually make it more difficult for me to follow the action personally
26:45 The "serum" he took was a mix of epinephrine and adrenaline, to overcome the pain and probably significant internal injuries he had from tanking a pair of 12 gauge shotgun blasts at near-point-blank range (that probably cracked his sternum and a few ribs)...the cord he cut was live and dangling inches above the waterline, if it touched the water everybody in the water would've been fried.
Honestly I was confused about it too since it was green and my first thought was "Venom?" cause Bruce gets a venom addiction in the comics at one point as a result of how much easier it'd be if he was just He eventually gets over it which would be interesting to see. A batman getting over an addiction while dealing with other threats?
@WraithWTF epinephrine = adrenaline, and it's a clear liquid, not green. The green = magic juice that made up for the disabling wounds you described (don't google 12 gauge injuries -oh, see? told you not to). Just let the movie have some magic, trying to explain it with real-world info invariably goes wrong. @Esther Ruth and @LaraS you are totally correct.
Thankyou dylan 21:15 this korean Netflix series 'My Name' is badass. Han so hee is a badass i became a fan of her after watching this. The main lead, the villain , supporting cast everyone played their role amazingly and the soundtrack is chef kiss,
In this movie, the bat signal is used more as a warning sign to criminals in order to scare them, which I really like. I found it really interesting. I don't know if the bat signal has been used in that way before, but I like that they added that element to the movie ,it's really cool.
It always had been for letting criminals know batman is out. And even if it wasn't intended. Seeingagiant bat in the clouds and then a man in bat suit appear from darkness pretty much sums it haha
Was about to say the same. For years I failed to see how the criminals of Gotham could be afraid of a vigilante in bat suit. I didn't see it as practical and saw it as silly but the batman helped me realise that the signal, the suit, the lurking in the shadows, It's all about building this fear complex. They never know where he is, Some don't even know what he is "but when that light hits the sky, it's not just a signal, it's a warning"
To me this Batman is perfect. He's young, full of grief, anger, no real will to live, reckless and immature. Here he's learning how to be a hero and maturing to become THE Batman. Amazing amazing job!
This was by far my second favorite Batman movie, just behind Dark Knight. I’m excited to see how they continue this iteration of young Batman. This was also the first movie (if I’m not mistaken) where it really shows Batman being “the world’s best detective”. It’s also SUPER refreshing to see a darker, more serious superhero movie. I’m so over the Marvel way of doing superhero movies.
I thought the Batmobile startup was fantastic. The thruster makes such a horrible, almost demonic noise, the engine roars, and it builds up to a tiny little jump forward just to intimidate the Penguin. I thought it was funny, it's like when you act like you're about to punch someone just to make them flinch
I was thinking how easily they could have made this a comedy, too. A man in a bat suit at a crime scene is low-key funny. When Gordon and Batman were questioning Penguin it was downright hilarious.
Some differences that makes this one stand out from the others: Other variants had him with an entire team of scientists who put his gadgets together for him. In here, he makes them himself. I seem to remember in others, Gordon simply slipped him case files, and he did the work on his own time. In here, he's actually working with the cops and going to crime scenes. Not to mention he demonstrates a knowledge of forensics. Also speaks directly to people who claim Batman sucks as a hero because Gotham is still crime ridden: how is he supposed to clean up Gotham when the entire system is corrupted?
You can't exactly change a whole dang city with just a flip with your hand. Gotham is already so corrupted and Batnan could only do so much to lessen it or to make its people feel more safe living there
@@JwanCortez only as sporadic support to help him when he is busy in the field investigating, but he doesn't depend exclusively on Lucius Fox to create his technology, unlike what happens with the version of Bale where they gave the character a greater relevance than he really has in the comics
i got so excited when you mentioned "my name". i totally agree that batman should've done a scene like ji-woo (the main character) and he should have had just as much action as she did, because the drama has amazing scenes with these really cool and badass fights. i absolutely love my name, it's a shame it's not that famous.
I watch a lot of kdramas and I've heard of My Name and it's hype but never really been drawn to it but Dylan mentioning My Name totally made me wanna watch it! Also I was also looking for comments about this mention and this is the only one that I found.... :D
But I like the fact that this Batman is imperfect in his abilities but still just as dangerous. I mean it’s supposed to be year 2 Batman so I get that he’s not perfect.
I think is valid to have in mind, that this batman is only 2 years in to this life, so he isn't "a professional " superhero yet, that's why it he fails sometimes or comited mistakes, why he was talking about vengeance and not justice etc
Yeah but there are no consequences to him being bad at Batman; why even learn assassin skills if your suit is entirely bullet and bomb proof? Yes it was dumb for him to stand by a man that's going to explode! Yes its hugely convenient that doesn't harm him! That's what I dont get about THIS iteration of Batman. He's supposed to be realistic/ inexperienced (hence the crappy wing suit) but then he crashes full speed into a moving truck, bounces of a bridge and rolls away with next to no damage! Even Nolan's batman had bruises!! Another scene where there are no consequences? Well he chases down the Penguin even though he already knows where he lives, which results in a massive explosive crash, he 'catches' the Penguin and then let's him GOOOO!!! No consequences for that one either.
@@Ilovegirls2486 That's a mistake on their part imo. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Bale's Batman, but doesn't really make sense that he's so good at being Batman from the get go. The fighting I understand, he trained in the movie. But being Batman is more than that, which I think was pretty well portrayed in Pattinson's. Besides, there's a lot of material to reference in the comics about a young rookie Batman that Bale's and Keaton's went over. It's not wrong to do so, but I'm glad there's another movie taking from that and not OP OG Batman. (I'm gonna copy paste my response to all of your copy pasted responses lol)
@@JwanCortez It's not a mistake, that's the construction of Batman. He is not a realistic character, even though he is human, from the very beginning, from the golden age of comics, he was portrayed as a very exceptional human standing above average in many respects. Even in comics like "Year One", which Matt Reeves said he took as inspiration, we see that he is highly prepared in his first year, being able to do such things as kick down trees or intimidate the biggest mobsters in Gotham, so...
ik ur job is to be funny and that's why I follow you but god this opening sequence of the batman narration is literally perfection. the warning, the shadows, all of it is so well done
to be fair, bruce is supposed to be emo (he’s always been broody but he’s extra emo in this) so that’s why he is emoting as much. but i feel like he definitely emoted when the scene required it.
Dead inside, listens to nirvana, wears black coal eboy make up, and his big bad is a reddit influencer with school shooter minions. Battinson is truly a Gen Z icon 💅
yee this is meant to build into him using his bruce identity more in the next one since technically this whole thing could've been avoided if he actually met with the accountant
' my name' is such a great drama and the violence is just so well done and it is shown amazingly. so thanks dylan for mentioning that! some scenes in batman were amazingly done whereas some scenes to me were like... uh could have done that better.
yesss it was so well done, everything came together perfectly and the attention to detail with the cinematography and acting. Had me in tears and how I felt sad but satisfied by the end
Yes and as a big time kdrama fan, I'd go as far to say my name deserves more recognition than squid game, in fact there are so many more dramas better than squid game bruh..
the long shots might not seem necessary when you watch it on a small screen but watching it in the theatres with Dolby surround and all that, it was magnificent and just enhanced the overall experience.
@@stranger990 I watched the movie on my phone with headphones, and it was honestly really good, like I was really invested in everything. I also didn’t even notice or mind the long shots
@@lordzoro4568 that's wild bro I'm just so into movies and stuff I have to have my 65 inch TV with blaring surround sound at the least 😂 but heck yeah glad you got to see it and enjoy it 🔥🔥 real recognize real
I saw this 2x in the movie theatre when it came out. It doesn't feel long. It doesn't need to be trimmed. It's somber but still has humor. The action is well done and the acting is great. The original soundtrack is top tier. There's so much to love about The Batman.
I loved your point about golden hour shots but most of those shots, specifically the one you were referring to was shot on a soundstage using a Volume and the sunset is actually a background on a bunch of LED screens that they built in a video game engine, that's how they get the natural lighting. I was amazed when I found out, they look phenomenal I think they might be the first MOVIE to do it (relax mandolorian fans). Same reason they didn't do the batmobile flying through the air shot with the penguin in it, he wasn't on location at the time. The BTS video is on HBO's channel if anyones interested.
@@TheAfricanGrey Yeah, he worked on the new Dune. I was nicely surprised when I found out because I loved cinematography in both movies so much, so that made perfect sense
When he cut the wire at the end, he was keeping everyone from being electrocuted. If a live wire had touched the water, everyone IN the water would have been fried. He had to electrocute himself to save everyone else below, so that's why that happened.
the reason why he’s taking so much shots in this is because he’s still fairly new to being batman, it’s been like what 2 years? so everything from his tech to his skills still need lots of polishing, very realistic and comic accurate!
@@kingrobert7246 not really no. 1) his suit is very durable so whenever he crashes somewhere that’s why he doesn’t die as well as bullet proof 2) the reason why goons don’t necessarily aim for his face is because most of them are scared shitless of him and start firing at his chest without any second thinking hoping they might pierce him 3) his endurance and pain tolerance is much higher than an average person
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult exactly, you can tell these people have never even fired a gun in their lives when they ask why people don't just shoot Batman in the face. It's incredibly difficult to get a headshot since the head is such a small target, which is why most people aim for larger targets like the torso, thighs, etc.
26:35 little explanation: when the water floods the arena, batman cuts the cable (and falls into the water) because, as you can see, it sparks, and as the projector reaches the water (since there is still electricity in it) due to the circumstances (the building has a lot of metal support poles, etc.) the water there would conduct electricity so fast that everyone below would die instantly
Dylan would actually be pretty good as a voice actor. His voice is so animated on its own. I could see him playing the class clown in a school-based anime or something… is it just me?
When I watched it on opening night I laughed out loud a lot. I got the vibe that everyone in the theater with me was scared to laugh but I was like GUYS THAT WAS A JOKE it’s ok to laugh! The humor are so good and so well placed, this film is just expertly crafted overall.
I actually sounded like a psychopath laughing at the jokes in the theater because I was the only one laughing. Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who remembers that Batman used to be funny on occasion.
DYLAN!!!!! This is one of the best movie commentaries you’ve made I laughed SO much your jokes are top tier - “found a lemonade mouth fan” I DIED thank you for this
Collin Ferrell as penguin is such a top notch casting. he did such an amazing job and dare i say this movie is up there as one of the best superhero movies made
Holy shit didn't believe you, googled to confirm, and wooooooow they did a phenomenal job. Deserves best make up design at the Oscars. Also gotta love your Magdalene pic
I’m not a huge Batman fan but I saw this movie in theatres with my bf since he is and it was amazing!! The movie didn’t even feel like 3 hours. Every minute felt well used.😊
@@andreaprochowski4717 I know that , i'm saying the mystery was kinda stupid with these riddle you learn at 6th grade , my english is not that good so idk if you understand what i'm trying to say
i've been going through a rough time lately but i love the batman and i love ur videos so i just want to say thx dylan if by any chance u see this, it was just what i needed to cheer me up :)
I saw the movie 3 times in theaters and the only improvements I can think of are having Gordon not talk so low and making Riddler the son of the journalist/reporter who was killed by Falcone for Thomas Wayne. I enjoyed every moment, immensely, and would've sat there for 4 hours. This Catwoman is the most comic accurate and just overall best, and Catwoman and Batman finally have that dynamic they do in the comics.
I would say the only thing I disliked about this movie is how riddlers motivations for the whole movie are remove the corruption from Gotham and then in the last act it switches to just complete terrorism and kill as many civilians as possible
@@ryanward5770 Well he is a psycho. Right idea, horrible methods. It's pointed out in his goon saying "I am vengeance" and reflects Batman's current state of mind, hence his growth.
Another point I would add is Annika's death being the reason they find out Falcone is the rat. Like maybe batman/Bruce goes to see Maroni in prison to find out about his father and filling in the dots that way. And even show batman interrogate more corrupt cops like Kenzie
I agree. Once the reporter was mentioned, I thought Riddler was his son. It would’ve been really cool thematically. We see varying degrees of wronged children and orphans with Falcone as the center. Selina’s quest for vengeance for her mother, and how she ultimately decides not to kill Falcone. Bruce’s overall anger and guilt from his parents’ deaths and what his father did to cover his ass and Martha’s. Whereas Riddler ends up killing Falcone and targeting those he felt wronged him. It’d be even more personal if he was the reporter’s son, showing how Batman and Riddler are two sides of the same coin in a way.
I agree with you Dylan on the whole "Joker" concept it's overplayed in my opinion. I was hoping for a different villain entirely. When I first saw this scene, I had originally thought Two Face because of the scars. But was somewhat disappointed, the thing I was interested about Pattinson's Batman trilogy was the idea of introducing many of the other villains like Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, ScareCrow, Black Mask, Mr. Freeze, The Court of Owls, ect. I really hope they don't make another Batman movie with Joker being the main villain again.
the thing is that there are three jokers: clown, criminal and comedian. so i believe that’s what they’re trying to portray with the Jared Leto’s joker, the Joaquin Phoenix’s joker and now this new joker.
Right!!? Like, if they do end up making another Batman vs Joker movie it should, at the very least, be the Death in the Family arc. Like, that's by far (for me) the Joker at his cruelest, and it would show what an actual monster he is. I'm so tired of the "sympathetic" Jokers. BUT, to get to that they would need to introduce Dick Grayson and then Jason Todd. And I'm scared af that they would either stole Jason's whole backstory (like they did in Batman Beyond giving it to Tim, and with "Cass" in BOP or in the Snyderverse where the Robin that Joker killed was aparently Dick?) and give it to Dick or just....completely ruin him. Or erase him. So.....
@@dreithen8693 Good point about the flooded city; many wouldn't notice some people just *vanishing* until half eaten remains start to pop up (if they go with the man-eater angle). Croc would be an awesome villain. But also, Poison Ivy? Ecoterrorism? With how things are currently in the world, that would be a very good topic to touch!
the "serum" is just adrenaline, i think. And he cut the cord because with the water rising, it would have eventually touched the surface and electrocuted everyone in the water. So while it shocked him cutting it, he did it to save everyone else. A lot of his "weakness" is willingness to take hits. He's reckless and doesn't care if he dies. He has a lack of fear that ironically makes him a worse fighter-- not unlike The Dark Knight Rises. He only has a vague idea of what he wants to do, and is primarily motivated by anger and vengeance, and that's exactly what everyone sees him as, including the people he's trying to help. Hence the guy in the beginning begging him not to hurt him, and his reaction to the Riddler's follower saying "I'm Vengeance." That's when he realizes what he really is, and what he's done wrong.
the whole riddler Arkham scene was actually hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing in the theatre and when he seriously said I’m vengeance as well like what the hell💀
riddler’s arrest in the diner was so funny to me. i was like “that’s the man they’ve been chasing?” and when he asks for the pumpkin pie and they slam him against the counter?😂
@@leikeylosh I bet you saw this video and decided to click it only to give out horrible "criticism" when all youre saying can be deluded down to "movie bad" "not like other batman"
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult I wish we would stop all this division between DC and Marvel stans, it's so toxic and petty, especially since there's literally no drama between the studios who are actually on good terms.
Honestly I love this Batman. It feels like it's straight out of a Batman comic when I watch the intro, how dark and gloomy it is, how it's crime invested. And I love how they explain how the Bat signal works. When the signal is up on the sky, it's not only to call upon the Batman. But also to warn criminals that Batman is on the prowl. One of the main weapons Batman use is fear. He can't be at a lot of places at once so that's how the signal came to place. It would warn them and make them fear the dark where you know he resides. They would be filled with fear, as shown from the criminal slowly backing up while looking at the shadows. Because they don't want to face him. And don't get me started on the soundtrack. It's just AMAZING. When Batman was getting out of his car with the fire behind him, slowly approaching Penguin. The sound of his heavy boots hitting the ground paired with the music is just unreal. People also need to remember that this Battinson is early years Batman. He's only taken the cape for 2 years. He is a very inexperienced Batman out of all the others and his case is still mostly about solving crime, and also remember that Batman essentially is a detective comic, not really the flashy sort of hero. He is still getting used to stuff, as you can see the way he struck his landings is still very much amateur-ish move, not at all graceful with it. The people of Gotham are also still confused if he's the bad guy or not, as you can see when he saved that man in the beginning, he pleaded "Please don't hurt me". Gotham has not trust him yet. He has also not taken his Bruce Wayne playboy persona. He is still very much grief ridden. This is more Batman than Bruce Wayne and I love it. + This movie just adds a lot of subtle stuff that I love. Like how Batman used black eye makeup blend his face with his mask. It's just so cool
Idk if anyone mentioned this yet, but the "golden hour" sequence you were talking about at 17:40 was actually filmed on one of those LED stages, the same kind of ones they use to film Mandalorian
My name is literally one of my favorite Korean dramas. The main actor is so versatile I love almost every show that she’s played in, she just portrays her characters and their emotions so beautifully. The last episode of my name had me in tears, such a good show!!
Gonna be honest, this is the only batman movie I've sat through first go and wanted a sequeal to. I've seen all the others and they're still good, I'm just tired of hearing the same story of the perfect Batman. I think I liked this because it showed his inexperience, it showed him heavily messing up. He's still rich enough to get strong ass armor yet his inventions still malfunction on him. He's showing signs of being a great detective who could do the cops work for them, but his focus is still unrefined (which is *chef kiss* because being a vigilante isn't a perfect artform and trying to find his stride along the way is just cool to see as opposed to ninja dark shadow man). His social awkwardness is also fucking hilarious because I relate to that and can say it's pretty accurate. And it focusing on the Riddler was pretty fun, I was heavily uncomfortable through some of it which is a good thing because the mind games the Riddler's playing is genuinely fucked up - as well as some decent jokes. Batman then using morphine/adrenaline to numb out the pain he nearly passed out from to give him that kick back up, just for him to lose his collective shit and batter the hell out that guy was great. It showed he's still very much in his vengence stage, and needing to learn better. The moment he looks at the beaten face and everyones reactions to it. Then him actually figuring out just fear and brutality alone isn't gonna cut it, which means later movies we'll get to see him grow to become OP Batman. All in all, I think it was great. I get some folk won't like it, and that's chill, you don't have to. Keep in mind there's multiple versions of Batman. This one just strikes me more because he isn't OP from the get go.
I will say that night club scene with the DA was a lot more tense in the theater with the really nice surround sound, they do some really clever work with the sound design on the dialogue that made it really immersive
Aw man I LOVED this movie. It feels more grounded than most Batman films, to me. Because this would 100% be how some kind of modern villain would invite his plans- via social media and finding like minded people. As others have stated, he's only been Batman for 2 years and is still trying to figure out what that even means or how to even be Bruce Wayne
BRO, DYLAN AND I HAD THE E X A C T SAME REACTION TO THE JOKER AT THE END, I SWEAR TO GOD, HE SAID IT BEST, THEY'VE GONE DOWN THAT WELL TOO MANY TIMES GOD DAMN IT. Amazing video :)
I didn't know a thing about Batman and its cinematic universe, except for a bit of joker. I went to watch this movie anyway with a friend just for Rob( I remember loving him back in the Twilight years), didn't know what to expect but damn this movie did not disappoint me! The timing of the jokes was spot on, Rob did a really good job at portraying the nascent batman. Really was an experience! My friend n I were waiting for your commentary on this. You make law school stress go away
“Seems like he wants to die” that’s actually Bruce’s whole mind set in the movie. He’s reckless and angry, if he gets hurt it doesn’t matter to him.
I agree with you, he's super edgy the whole film, but I don't think this theme really hit home because we never actually see him get hurt. Like I get the movie is trying to be like "he's hurting on the inside" but my man is tanking bullets left and right like he's superman, and despite all the things that happen to him in the film, he basically just shakes it all off like it's nothing. It's hard to have this theme of self destruction if it isn't really shown. I think you could even apply this on a more emotional scale. Like he's clearly very depressed and having trouble emotionally, but we don't see his behavior affecting his relationships really. By the end of the movie he's "got the girl" and everything seems to be on the up and up, but that's not because he changed anything about himself.... it just, you know, happened XD
@@nattteo I hear you, definitely agree w what you’re saying. I think we do get small bits and pieces of that in the film, although it’s very subtle. Like when we see Bruce in the bat cave and his back is all scarred and bruised, or when he retaliates against Alfred like an angsty teen saying “you’re not my father”. Maybe if we saw more of these repercussions it could’ve hit that idea home a little harder. I personally enjoyed the subtleties of the film and what it had to offer, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing more of Bruce’s character in this aspect as well.
@@nattteo tbh this whole "he changed something inside himself/learned something, so he could solve the problem at the end" is an overused formula and I wouldn't blame the plot for not repeating it.
@@nattteo I mean by the end the dude has to inject himself with whatever weird chemical to be able to keep moving.
He definitely got hurt and we see it. Or when he eats shit with the wing suit. Or hell, the whole sequence where he ends up unconcious in the GCPD because a bomb exploded on his face.
literally this haha
The reason the car chase looks so amazing is because they hardly used CGI. That's a real car jumping out of a real explosion right there
Just because there is CGI doesn't mean it won't look as good as real stuff... The time travel suits in Endgame looked %100 real and yet they were all computer generated. The CGI that looks best is the CGI you don't even notice to be CGI
Amazingly bad. The car chase scene was terrible. Poorly shot and poorly edited.
@@leikeylosh oh look who knows so much
And the real car jumping out of the explosion was digitally adjusted to better match the real car (they used a stunt version with bigger suspension for that stunt). There are also quite a lot of full CG shot or big augmentation to the original plate (adding rain, traffic, etc...), the explosion shot on location was much smaller and was augmented later on. It's not amazing because they hardly used any CGI, it's amazing because it was really well thought out and really well shot in conjunction with the stunt team, VFX team and cinematography.
@@_KantenMaaier_ endgame actually looked like shit
I kinda love how ppl look at Batman like he’s a weirdo when he’s present during the crime scene because think about it in a real life scenario. If some regular person dressed like in all-black, with a cape, and a mask symbolizing an animal, walked into the room to examine a crime scene wouldn’t you look at them side ways too
Listen, if I'm a police officer in the shitshow that is Gotham, and my superior decides to bring his furry boyfriend to an investigation, I'm gonna mind my business
@@virginiafernandez6846 😂😂
I would say both,I wore a Harry Potter Gryffindor robe and a red cloak in public (it was during high school took lol)and my classmates deffently looked at me weirdly...So I understand Batman kinda and why onlookers would look at him weirdly...The cloak/Gryffindor robe was worn after Halloween....
Not really...? Furries are everywhere man...
I think I’d laugh lol 😊
Also, the serum he took was just epinephrine/adrenaline (confirmed by the director). The double barrel to the chest broke like 3 ribs and just about knocked him out. He literally didn’t have the strength to pull himself up while hanging, or stand when Catwoman was attacked. So he needed a little boost.
While epinephrine is clear is real life, it was colored green for dramatic effect, similar to how the C4 explosives were all giant fireballs, when C4 is essentially flameless in reality.
Yeah but like… he’s Batman
I think the main argument was that it was never set up beforehand. Casual watchers like myself got confused when I saw it too.
I'm not gonna argue with the director, but there ARE theories that he used a bright green strength serum from the comics called Venom
@@rebmichelle thats literally why the director had to confirm what it was
@Only1CookieMan Yes. It numbs the pain of your injury
The thing about him being the “weakest” Batman is because he’s young and reckless. He’s been the Batman for two years and only by the end of the movie he understand his role as more important than this vigilante guy that scares people. He’s building to be strong and smart, so he’s not the best at it yet and I think that’s amazing.
Tbh I think it makes sense for Batman to not be super buff. In order to build a lot of muscle he would have to: use steroids, sleep 8 hours a day while eating chicken and broccoli 5 times a day. I could see Pattinson's Batman sleeping through the day because he is an heir, but how would Bale's Batman have a good sleep while he is a business man by day AND fights crime by night?
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult because he is still a superhero from comics, it isn't the real world.
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult I’m not saying he’s the weakest in a physical way btw
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult what people don’t realize is that he likely did all of these with exception of the steroids- I guarantee he was pretty focused with diet and exercise. Steroids play a massive factor in the physiques of superheroes and fan favs like Thor and Captain America wouldn’t be nearly as big as they are on screen without chemical assistance.
Weirdly enough his feats in this movie far outshine Bale’s fighting scenes in the nolan trilogy. You actually get the sense he’s a master martial artist I mean he barely struggled with fighting goons except for the dude who just blasted his shotgun in his chest. Batman easily overpowers a few guys at once. Bale just flailing his elbows around always looked stupid to me. Ben and Rob had far better choreography.
I think the ‘bad casting’ kind of adds to the story, with Gotham being a disorganized city with a lot of crime. A not-intimidating officer and a ‘weak’ DA fit that picture. It can make the audience feel helpless or frustrated even, the feeling that everything depends on Batman, who isn’t the perfect savior either. Kind of dark if you think about it that way
There's also the fact that Gordon's not commissioner yet, so he's gotta be that step up yknow?
You got to be kidding me
Are you going to defend every single thing in this bat movie

I watched this in the theater with some friends, and we lost it at the “AVEEEEEE MARIAAAAAAAAAAA” bit. The Riddler is peak comedy and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Yeah i wouldn't, you're a lost cause.
SAME LMAOOOO. I lost it in the theater
That and the thumb drive joke prove he is the funniest poor little meow meow i have ever seen i love his freak ass lol
That character though totally creeped me out lmao. That smile in the diner...
My partner and I lose it every time we see this scene!! Oh my god it's so funny
this movie had a ton of good jokes and I think people miss because it’s not the typical superhero comedy like when the thumb drive scene happened I was the only person in the theater to audibly laugh both times I saw the movie in the theaters
I had some dude literally turn around and glare at me when I laughed at the scene where Gordan threatened Batman in the police station
My friend and I laughed so much at the thumb part lol but with the movie in general too, and the theatre was so quiet and didn't know why my friend and I thought certain scenes were so funny 😂
Can you please explain to me the scene with the thumb drive?
*Batman looking through evidence in Riddler's apartment*

Gordon: Well, he IS wearing gloves
@@adri_144 there was a severed thumb attached to the flash drive. Another name used for flash drive is thumb drive. So it was a literal "thumb" drive.
I love how dylan pauses to talk about how the batsignal is unnecessary as batman is explaining what it's for
Yea that makes me die inside. I just realized I have to accept he’s just making up stuff to criticize to try and be funny
If he cuts the cord, the part that falls into the water is no longer electrical, so it wont electrocute anyone in the water. it wasnt about dropping the extra weight, it was about severing the cord and therefore cutting off the electricity & its ability to become lethal in the water.
When I was watching it, at first I knew he was thinking about the electricity, but then I get distracted or something and I thought he just did a lot of dramatic stuff just to fall into the water. My friend had to explain it to me😂
@@andrearolher6995 and the way he dramatically fall with the dramatic music in the background like me and my mom thought he was gonna die or at least gets injured but no! he just gets up like nothing happened 😂🤦🏻♀️
@@NA22427 That was a religious motif. It was his baptism. Batman had just come to the realization that he needed to be more than just vengeance, and in that scene, falling into the water, he is reborn as hope. It's the climax in Batman's character arc.
The kid being the first to trust him and take his hand in the following scene further accentuates not only Batman's character development, but also his change in image in the eyes of the people he's trying to protect, a stark contract to the beginning of the movie, when even the people he saved were scared of him.
Reeves could not have possibly made the motifs more obvious. There's only so much you can spell out for the audience.
@@hgghh54 that's a good comment, I think you should post it separately so more people can see it :)
@@whale2269 yeah it was the first moment he decided to save people rather than just pursue a target. this movie is quite a bit more deep than the other super hero movies that have come out as of late. i think people hear batman and expect spectacle but this movie was a lot more like Seven than Avengers.
Dylan: “Damn that would electrocute a lot of people”
Also Dylan: “Why’d he cut the cord, wtf?”
What i like about this Movie is that it doesn’t already shows Batman as the Master of his Work. He‘s 2 years in and not really experienced with Villains that big. It also shows that he isn’t the mysterious Hero, he‘s just a Dude/Detective in a Spandex with armor
I WAS NOT EXPECTING A REACTION TO THIS MOVIE BUT YESS
YEEESSSSS
I was shocked
No literally same
Dylan should watch Spider-man NwH cuz it would be funny so watch him have no idea wtf is going on in the movie lol
FRRRR
I think what people missed most about this movie is that this is a really young Batman. This is year 2 Batman. He's still learning the ropes. You can even see some of the hesitation Batman has before doing some stunts because he's probably never done anything like that before. He's basically still in training. We're so used to seeing Batman already knowing everything, knowing every corner and street of Gotham like for Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. Their Batmans were masters already. This is a first for a live action Batman to see him becoming who he's supposed to be and learning what Batman is. We gotta give Robert Pattinson more of a chance. I think he did amazingly as Batman/Bruce Wayne
this! the amount of times i've had to explain this to people like... JFC how often has it been pointed out now?? and they still act as if he's lame or whatever
arianna...yep. people dont pay attention to details then complain when their expectations are not met.
Having the main character being a rookie is not an excuse for bad writing.
@@leikeylosh there have been other movies with WORSE writing. The Batman was decently written
@@batmanshousewife Yeah, especially the part where that random police officer tells Batman that the murder weapon is a carpet tucker because his uncle works with carpets which leads Batman to discover Riddler's plan that doesn't make any sense and which Batman was not able to stop anyway. "Decent writing" for sure LOL
about the lack of sexual tension between Catwoman and Batman:
That was OBVIOUSLY intentional. We've seen Robert Pattinson in several movies that included love stories. He can play the "being in love" part very well and from Twilight we also know that he can portray intentionally holding back those emotions (while Bella is still a weak human). If they WANTED sexual tension between catwoman and batman or reciprocated desire from batman, we would've gotten it. But this was supposed to be one sided on catwomans side
So, fun fact, Matt Reeves confirmed Batman's weird attempts to speak to Selina near the end when incapacitated (before he injects the adrenaline or whatever into his leg) was Bruce trying to tell Selina his name... Because he had fallen in love.
Lol, it's the first time I see someone praise his acting in Twilight.
I don't think that was a good call, dear.
@@someone3195 I didn't say it was all good, bit as someone who also read the books, he portrayed that part of him perfectly. and that's just how I see it.

YES thank u
There should be a Batfleck solo movie before any other Batman movie
@@kingrobert7246 well that won’t be happening
Keaton and Bales had been Batman in their early movies for less time than Pattinson, so his time as a vigilante isn't an excuse for his failings...
Exactly! And this is why I love it so much.
I think this movie had a wonderful grunge and emo vibe. There was a lot of funny camp which is a different but cool take combined with the serious themes of an obsessive rookie vigilante with Nirvana playing on the background. I loved the black makeup. I thought his serious face was intentional because this Bat couldn't be more brooding. One of my favorite moments was when Bruce put sunglasses on indoors. That was very tongue-in-cheek and aware.
The reason why Robert's Batman takes so many bullets/hits and runs through hallways, etc. instead of being this smooth Batman is because in this film Bruce has just been Batman for two years. He aint that experienced yet. So it's supposed to be a little awkward like that.
exactly!!
Therefore he should’ve taken more damage, doesn’t make any sense

Dylan, the point of the bat signal is not just to tell Batman to meet up, it’s to strike fear into the hearts of the criminals. If they see the Bat signal, they will know that Batman is on the prowl and will be more afraid to do bad things
yeah but dylan's point still kinda stands because it's also used to call Bruce and you just have to depend on the fact that he sees it lol
The entire beginning sequence literally shows that, how did he even miss it? Dude was literally itching to just shit on it.
we got the diehard batman fans here
Dylan prefaced this video as a joke review. Not a serious review.
@@gingycat2395 in the comic doesn't the mayor have a bat phone, I think it was in the original series
17:40 fun fact, they actually used a special LED screen setup to film this scene so that they had a lot more time to film it. Its the same setup that they used on the mandalorian to film a lot of scenes and its really cool to see it used in more movies to get really interesting backgrounds for important scenes.
I haven't seen many people talk about this: so I know a lot of people thought there was no chemistry between Batman and Cat Woman, but realizing that Cat Woman was into stray cats and taking care of them, and that goes to show how even though there didn't seem to be any intimacy between her and Batman it's almost as if she saw him as a stray. Which is is why she was attracted to him. She was attracted to the mystery behind him, and that would explain why she wasn't big into trying to find out who he was under the mask. I hope this makes sense lol.
That’s how I read it too. That line said a lot without saying too much, at least in my opinion. Like she kind of recognizes without realizing it that he’s like her and so there’s just this sort of instant bond between the two of them because they’re so similar even though they’re kind of on opposite sides.
o.o
waitt okay, it felt super forced when i. watched it, this makes more sense. thankss
Also, if you slow down that clip and look at her eyes, she looks at him up and down when she says it
That's always how their relationship is though right?? So I'm more confused that people think they don't have chemistry
27:46 "Fuck you, fuck the system, fuck everybody" is exactly the reaction the Riddler wanted to evoke, so Dylan is now part of the gimp army 😂
Omg yessss 😂🤌
I just realized this channel comforts me so much because I relate to Dylan being a giant mouthy nerd that noone seems to respect, but here all the followers appreciate the humor and jokes and it just makes me feel so much less alone if only to see someone I can relate to. Thank you Dylan. Seriously. I know heart felt really isn't this channels theme but thank you. Seriously.
The bat signal is not necessarily just about reaching batman, it is also sending a message to the criminal element.
this is literally said in the movie, I don't know why he didn't understand.
He understands that but there is the part they used as message, like when Catwoman signals, batman and officer thought the other one did it. They can just send email or something.
@@naungyoe3215 I really don't think he did understand that. I'm pretty sure he just talked over the part where he explained that.
@@Jopekos I like Dylan but he often doesn't even pay attention to the movie and then complains about something which is already explained just for comedic effect. It gets annoying and tiring at times.
@@anom6707 he clearly knows his movie stuff but he’s not good at paying attention to dialogue that involves exposition unless he can make a quick little joke about it, one minute he says it’s a comedic review and then the next he starts giving poor critiques cause he was talking over important scenes
The reason why the guy says “who the hell are you supposed to be” is because it’s Halloween night. And Batman at this time is very elusive and not everyone knows what he looks like exactly.
Also, the serum, I thought, was implying that it’s venom(?) from bane. But I think the writers said it’s just adrenaline… although I think they’re up to something lol
Great catch!
That serum keeps the film from being perfect for me. All they had to do was include a scene where he's preparing it.

when he said "which is a skill of mine... self control" i started laughing immediately thinking that he was gonna say the video is sponsored by skillshare guess that was a misdirect
I was waiting on that too 😆
I absolutely felt the tension in the Selina-spying scene. She's playing the role of an escort in a room full of drunk/high extremely powerful men and on TOP of that, she's spying. Like, I wouldn't even want to walk through that room.
So the cutting the electrical wire scene. I think the reason it is so dramatic is because Batman (not Batman, Vengence) technically died when he fell in the water. When he emerged, it's like when a baby is baptized. He was reborn as the Batman after rising from that water. Before, he was just a tool for fear. But he became a beacon of hope by the end, that overhead shot with him leading those people out with a flare is one of my favorite scenes in movies ever
Yesssss!
i was also as confused as he is about why it was so dramatic. I don't normally notice those things but I was so confused why it was going on for so long lmao
I also liked that in the beginning, we see him hiding in dark places, literally a shadow. But him with the flare guiding those people, he literally became a light to them.
loveee that analysis and how you put it
thats a pretty symbolic outlook on it I didn't think of it that way
A lot of people get so weird about long runtimes in certain movies but I think this one is a clear example of why that can be a good thing; shots are held for longer periods than in other movies, especially without dialogue, but that isn't a useless device - it helps to communicate things subtly, build tension, atmosphere, blah blah, but it can also really help an audience to digest what they're seeing as things play out. And then especially if that slow pace switches to something really fast-paced - like the car chase scene - it REALLY feels like a change in pace, which just adds to the effect.
I really liked that it was long. It used the time well.
I think some shots could've been cut. Some parts felt really long and for all the plot they didn't give Batman much of a personality. Also if they cut the romance and just kept them as allies I would've been more satisfied.
@@yukikanegawa7470 I think if their romance had been cut it would've been good too, or at least if they had maybe tried it a bit differently - or just built it up over a few movies or something :)
I agree that in some movies this is needed and beautiful but personally I think that it was unnecessary in this one, I did not enjoy it at all
The Story should always dictate the Runtime not the Studio
I think some people took this movie too seriously bc it was supposed to be artsy and deep. The scene when Riddler was singing had me cackling and I got so many glares in the movies for that lmao
Nah these comments are wild. Ppl picking exact seconds of the movie and explaining exactly what that specific shot means in this and that way. Its so funny to read the fanboy comments
But the Ave Maria scene was supposed to be funny and cringey.
@@pierogilover01 i think the argument he's trying to make, which honestly i kinda agree with, is that this movie is considered by many as more than just a "superhero" movie, a 'masterpiece' that they jump to defend at any sort of criticism. It gets worse when a lot of the same fans will say you aren't mature enough to understand the movie if you didn't like it because they DO perceive it as an artsy movie, made for those of high intellect. This isn't a jab at you, just trying to explain why he's upset.
riddler’s arrest in the diner was so funny to me. i was like “that’s the man they’ve been chasing?” his delivery on the other hand was so eerie
Does anyone get how hilarious Pattinson being Batman is? He played Edward. A vampire. Also associated with bats. Batman was actually rumoured to be a vampire. Heck he was one in comics.
Y’all can’t get over shit
Cedric Diggory who was killed by a person who was a vampire 3 years prior too lmfao
😆 🤣 😂
Hufflepuff are particularly good finders and Batman is a detective. And while Hufflepuff’s symbol is the European Badger badgers are still badass and they share the same family as the Wolverine another badass creature.
Vampires are cool, I wish they did more movies about vamos 😭
Actually that buildup with the penguin and the batmobile worked amazingly in the theater because it was so quiet and it built until the theater seats were literally shaking... So good. The only issue I had was that it was too long, they could have condensed the ending(s)
Agreed. After seeing it in theaters a total of three times, and several others at home, the scene is great but soooo long and at some points the additional cuts and long takes actually make it more difficult for me to follow the action personally
26:45 The "serum" he took was a mix of epinephrine and adrenaline, to overcome the pain and probably significant internal injuries he had from tanking a pair of 12 gauge shotgun blasts at near-point-blank range (that probably cracked his sternum and a few ribs)...the cord he cut was live and dangling inches above the waterline, if it touched the water everybody in the water would've been fried.
I thought epinephrine IS adrenaline? Aren’t they the same exact thing?
@@estherruth4692 i think they are
I think methamphetamine would make more sense
Honestly I was confused about it too since it was green and my first thought was "Venom?" cause Bruce gets a venom addiction in the comics at one point as a result of how much easier it'd be if he was just He eventually gets over it which would be interesting to see. A batman getting over an addiction while dealing with other threats?
@WraithWTF epinephrine = adrenaline, and it's a clear liquid, not green. The green = magic juice that made up for the disabling wounds you described (don't google 12 gauge injuries -oh, see? told you not to). Just let the movie have some magic, trying to explain it with real-world info invariably goes wrong. @Esther Ruth and @LaraS you are totally correct.
So no one’s gonna talk about how funny it was when the riddler and the joker were laughing and Dylan just started laughing 😅
I though that was two face lmafo ☠️
Thankyou dylan 21:15 this korean Netflix series 'My Name' is badass. Han so hee is a badass i became a fan of her after watching this. The main lead, the villain , supporting cast everyone played their role amazingly and the soundtrack is chef kiss,
In this movie, the bat signal is used more as a warning sign to criminals in order to scare them, which I really like. I found it really interesting. I don't know if the bat signal has been used in that way before, but I like that they added that element to the movie ,it's really cool.
It always had been for letting criminals know batman is out. And even if it wasn't intended. Seeingagiant bat in the clouds and then a man in bat suit appear from darkness pretty much sums it haha
Was about to say the same. For years I failed to see how the criminals of Gotham could be afraid of a vigilante in bat suit. I didn't see it as practical and saw it as silly but the batman helped me realise that the signal, the suit, the lurking in the shadows, It's all about building this fear complex. They never know where he is, Some don't even know what he is "but when that light hits the sky, it's not just a signal, it's a warning"
To me this Batman is perfect. He's young, full of grief, anger, no real will to live, reckless and immature. Here he's learning how to be a hero and maturing to become THE Batman. Amazing amazing job!
This was by far my second favorite Batman movie, just behind Dark Knight. I’m excited to see how they continue this iteration of young Batman. This was also the first movie (if I’m not mistaken) where it really shows Batman being “the world’s best detective”. It’s also SUPER refreshing to see a darker, more serious superhero movie. I’m so over the Marvel way of doing superhero movies.
I thought the Batmobile startup was fantastic. The thruster makes such a horrible, almost demonic noise, the engine roars, and it builds up to a tiny little jump forward just to intimidate the Penguin. I thought it was funny, it's like when you act like you're about to punch someone just to make them flinch
I was thinking how easily they could have made this a comedy, too. A man in a bat suit at a crime scene is low-key funny. When Gordon and Batman were questioning Penguin it was downright hilarious.
That’s why Lego Batman is one of the best Batmans! A real life comedy batman would be awesome in the right hands.
"Holy God, what're you showin' me?! Cahm ahhhhnn!"
Facts just watch lego batman if you want a satirical batman
Yes thank you
There is a comedic Batman. With Lego Batman, Teen Titans Batman etc. There's another one coming out. Comedic batman is used
Catwoman didn’t miss her shot - she decided to knock out the power to help Batman, which shows some character development on her part
Some differences that makes this one stand out from the others:
Other variants had him with an entire team of scientists who put his gadgets together for him. In here, he makes them himself.
I seem to remember in others, Gordon simply slipped him case files, and he did the work on his own time. In here, he's actually working with the cops and going to crime scenes. Not to mention he demonstrates a knowledge of forensics.
Also speaks directly to people who claim Batman sucks as a hero because Gotham is still crime ridden: how is he supposed to clean up Gotham when the entire system is corrupted?
You can't exactly change a whole dang city with just a flip with your hand. Gotham is already so corrupted and Batnan could only do so much to lessen it or to make its people feel more safe living there
There should be a Batfleck solo movie before any other Batman movie
only Bale's Batman use an entire team of scientists to make his gadgers, the rest makes all his stuffs for himself, like in the comics
@@Ilovegirls2486 Wait, comics Batman doesn't have a Lucius Fox?
@@JwanCortez only as sporadic support to help him when he is busy in the field investigating, but he doesn't depend exclusively on Lucius Fox to create his technology, unlike what happens with the version of Bale where they gave the character a greater relevance than he really has in the comics
Dylan explaining what the rotten tomatoe score is and how it actually works, for me was information that hit me outta nowhere. Thanks man
i got so excited when you mentioned "my name". i totally agree that batman should've done a scene like ji-woo (the main character) and he should have had just as much action as she did, because the drama has amazing scenes with these really cool and badass fights. i absolutely love my name, it's a shame it's not that famous.
Finally someone talked abt that

@@kingrobert7246 Nah, he was the worst batman
@@kingrobert7246 no one cares about that stupid justice league installment
@@Naahi95 he would eat Pattinson and Bale for breakfast
I think is valid to have in mind, that this batman is only 2 years in to this life, so he isn't "a professional " superhero yet, that's why it he fails sometimes or comited mistakes, why he was talking about vengeance and not justice etc
There should be a Batfleck solo movie before any other Batman movie
Keaton and Bales had been Batman in their early movies for less time than Pattinson, so his time as a vigilante isn't an excuse for his failings...
Yeah but there are no consequences to him being bad at Batman; why even learn assassin skills if your suit is entirely bullet and bomb proof? Yes it was dumb for him to stand by a man that's going to explode! Yes its hugely convenient that doesn't harm him! That's what I dont get about THIS iteration of Batman. He's supposed to be realistic/ inexperienced (hence the crappy wing suit) but then he crashes full speed into a moving truck, bounces of a bridge and rolls away with next to no damage! Even Nolan's batman had bruises!! Another scene where there are no consequences? Well he chases down the Penguin even though he already knows where he lives, which results in a massive explosive crash, he 'catches' the Penguin and then let's him GOOOO!!! No consequences for that one either.
@@Ilovegirls2486 That's a mistake on their part imo. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Bale's Batman, but doesn't really make sense that he's so good at being Batman from the get go. The fighting I understand, he trained in the movie. But being Batman is more than that, which I think was pretty well portrayed in Pattinson's. Besides, there's a lot of material to reference in the comics about a young rookie Batman that Bale's and Keaton's went over. It's not wrong to do so, but I'm glad there's another movie taking from that and not OP OG Batman.
(I'm gonna copy paste my response to all of your copy pasted responses lol)
@@JwanCortez It's not a mistake, that's the construction of Batman. He is not a realistic character, even though he is human, from the very beginning, from the golden age of comics, he was portrayed as a very exceptional human standing above average in many respects. Even in comics like "Year One", which Matt Reeves said he took as inspiration, we see that he is highly prepared in his first year, being able to do such things as kick down trees or intimidate the biggest mobsters in Gotham, so...
ik ur job is to be funny and that's why I follow you but god this opening sequence of the batman narration is literally perfection. the warning, the shadows, all of it is so well done
to be fair, bruce is supposed to be emo (he’s always been broody but he’s extra emo in this) so that’s why he is emoting as much. but i feel like he definitely emoted when the scene required it.
I felt like they tried to portray him as dead inside from the trauma, which is why he kinda acts emotionless like a zombie.
@@Aranya1998 this. I was going to comment that he’s legit “dead inside”. Totally agree
Dead inside, listens to nirvana, wears black coal eboy make up, and his big bad is a reddit influencer with school shooter minions. Battinson is truly a Gen Z icon 💅
@@Aranya1998 hes dead inside but also emotional as all hell. The "outburst" of 'you're not my father' was perfect to show his mental state.
yee this is meant to build into him using his bruce identity more in the next one since technically this whole thing could've been avoided if he actually met with the accountant
' my name' is such a great drama and the violence is just so well done and it is shown amazingly. so thanks dylan for mentioning that!
some scenes in batman were amazingly done whereas some scenes to me were like... uh could have done that better.
My name had me disappointed when episodes would end yet I knew there's a button for that...that was a memorable drama
yesss it was so well done, everything came together perfectly and the attention to detail with the cinematography and acting. Had me in tears and how I felt sad but satisfied by the end
Where can I watch it?
@@opchild Netflix… it’s so good but don’t get too attached…
Yes and as a big time kdrama fan, I'd go as far to say my name deserves more recognition than squid game, in fact there are so many more dramas better than squid game bruh..
I loved the casting of the Riddler. He was in taking lives for about 5 seconds but perfected his serial killer face then. He is such creeper❤️

@@stranger990 I watched the movie on my phone with headphones, and it was honestly really good, like I was really invested in everything. I also didn’t even notice or mind the long shots

I saw this 2x in the movie theatre when it came out. It doesn't feel long. It doesn't need to be trimmed. It's somber but still has humor. The action is well done and the acting is great. The original soundtrack is top tier. There's so much to love about The Batman.

@@stranger990 good leave then
I loved your point about golden hour shots but most of those shots, specifically the one you were referring to was shot on a soundstage using a Volume and the sunset is actually a background on a bunch of LED screens that they built in a video game engine, that's how they get the natural lighting. I was amazed when I found out, they look phenomenal I think they might be the first MOVIE to do it (relax mandolorian fans). Same reason they didn't do the batmobile flying through the air shot with the penguin in it, he wasn't on location at the time. The BTS video is on HBO's channel if anyones interested.
Came here to comment this exact same thing when he made the comment about golden hour.
Oblivion is the first movie to do it, and first time it was used ever I think.
Not dylan spoilying THE ENTIRE KDRAMA I WAS WATCHING
The cinematography in this movie is so so good and Robert was amazing as Batman. My favorite rendition of the character so far.
Yeah, the cinematography is perfect (I don't know if you know but it's a work of Fraser who also did Dune)
@@user-ok4xb1rd9f no I did not know that thx for telling me! I loved the cinematography in Dune as well. We’re talking about the newest one right?

@@TheAfricanGrey Yeah, he worked on the new Dune. I was nicely surprised when I found out because I loved cinematography in both movies so much, so that made perfect sense
dylan connecting the rock's song to the "drive" message was the smoothest joke ever. i replayed it ten times just to keep laughing about it.
literally i was looking for a comment about this because it took me OUT!😂😂
Dylan: I want Bruce to show emotion
Also Dylan When Bruce Shows Emotion: What are you doing, you fool
When he cut the wire at the end, he was keeping everyone from being electrocuted. If a live wire had touched the water, everyone IN the water would have been fried. He had to electrocute himself to save everyone else below, so that's why that happened.
the reason why he’s taking so much shots in this is because he’s still fairly new to being batman, it’s been like what 2 years? so everything from his tech to his skills still need lots of polishing, very realistic and comic accurate!
Plot armour
@@kingrobert7246 huh?
@@kingrobert7246 not really no. 1) his suit is very durable so whenever he crashes somewhere that’s why he doesn’t die as well as bullet proof 2) the reason why goons don’t necessarily aim for his face is because most of them are scared shitless of him and start firing at his chest without any second thinking hoping they might pierce him 3) his endurance and pain tolerance is much higher than an average person
@@sal4927 yeah, also you don't aim for someone's face in combat. When your target is moving, you aim for bigger areas, like chest, belly, etc.
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult exactly, you can tell these people have never even fired a gun in their lives when they ask why people don't just shoot Batman in the face. It's incredibly difficult to get a headshot since the head is such a small target, which is why most people aim for larger targets like the torso, thighs, etc.
26:35 little explanation: when the water floods the arena, batman cuts the cable (and falls into the water) because, as you can see, it sparks, and as the projector reaches the water (since there is still electricity in it) due to the circumstances (the building has a lot of metal support poles, etc.) the water there would conduct electricity so fast that everyone below would die instantly
Dylan would actually be pretty good as a voice actor. His voice is so animated on its own. I could see him playing the class clown in a school-based anime or something… is it just me?

Actually the whole movie is a joke. As in a huge dumpster fire.
I actually sounded like a psychopath laughing at the jokes in the theater because I was the only one laughing. Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who remembers that Batman used to be funny on occasion.

I saw the movie 3 times in theaters and the only improvements I can think of are having Gordon not talk so low and making Riddler the son of the journalist/reporter who was killed by Falcone for Thomas Wayne. I enjoyed every moment, immensely, and would've sat there for 4 hours. This Catwoman is the most comic accurate and just overall best, and Catwoman and Batman finally have that dynamic they do in the comics.
I completely agree
I would say the only thing I disliked about this movie is how riddlers motivations for the whole movie are remove the corruption from Gotham and then in the last act it switches to just complete terrorism and kill as many civilians as possible
@@ryanward5770 Well he is a psycho. Right idea, horrible methods. It's pointed out in his goon saying "I am vengeance" and reflects Batman's current state of mind, hence his growth.
Another point I would add is Annika's death being the reason they find out Falcone is the rat. Like maybe batman/Bruce goes to see Maroni in prison to find out about his father and filling in the dots that way. And even show batman interrogate more corrupt cops like Kenzie
I agree. Once the reporter was mentioned, I thought Riddler was his son. It would’ve been really cool thematically. We see varying degrees of wronged children and orphans with Falcone as the center. Selina’s quest for vengeance for her mother, and how she ultimately decides not to kill Falcone. Bruce’s overall anger and guilt from his parents’ deaths and what his father did to cover his ass and Martha’s. Whereas Riddler ends up killing Falcone and targeting those he felt wronged him. It’d be even more personal if he was the reporter’s son, showing how Batman and Riddler are two sides of the same coin in a way.
I agree with you Dylan on the whole "Joker" concept it's overplayed in my opinion. I was hoping for a different villain entirely.
When I first saw this scene, I had originally thought Two Face because of the scars. But was somewhat disappointed, the thing I was interested about Pattinson's Batman trilogy was the idea of introducing many of the other villains like Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, ScareCrow, Black Mask, Mr. Freeze, The Court of Owls, ect. I really hope they don't make another Batman movie with Joker being the main villain again.
the thing is that there are three jokers: clown, criminal and comedian. so i believe that’s what they’re trying to portray with the Jared Leto’s joker, the Joaquin Phoenix’s joker and now this new joker.
oh my god killer croc gave me nightmares as a kid 😂
They already confirmed joker isn't going to be the main villain in the next movie, I'm hoping for killer croc since the whole city is flooded
Right!!? Like, if they do end up making another Batman vs Joker movie it should, at the very least, be the Death in the Family arc. Like, that's by far (for me) the Joker at his cruelest, and it would show what an actual monster he is. I'm so tired of the "sympathetic" Jokers. BUT, to get to that they would need to introduce Dick Grayson and then Jason Todd. And I'm scared af that they would either stole Jason's whole backstory (like they did in Batman Beyond giving it to Tim, and with "Cass" in BOP or in the Snyderverse where the Robin that Joker killed was aparently Dick?) and give it to Dick or just....completely ruin him. Or erase him. So.....
@@dreithen8693 Good point about the flooded city; many wouldn't notice some people just *vanishing* until half eaten remains start to pop up (if they go with the man-eater angle). Croc would be an awesome villain. But also, Poison Ivy? Ecoterrorism? With how things are currently in the world, that would be a very good topic to touch!
the "serum" is just adrenaline, i think. And he cut the cord because with the water rising, it would have eventually touched the surface and electrocuted everyone in the water. So while it shocked him cutting it, he did it to save everyone else.
A lot of his "weakness" is willingness to take hits. He's reckless and doesn't care if he dies. He has a lack of fear that ironically makes him a worse fighter-- not unlike The Dark Knight Rises. He only has a vague idea of what he wants to do, and is primarily motivated by anger and vengeance, and that's exactly what everyone sees him as, including the people he's trying to help. Hence the guy in the beginning begging him not to hurt him, and his reaction to the Riddler's follower saying "I'm Vengeance." That's when he realizes what he really is, and what he's done wrong.
the whole riddler Arkham scene was actually hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing in the theatre and when he seriously said I’m vengeance as well like what the hell💀

Honestly I love this Batman. It feels like it's straight out of a Batman comic when I watch the intro, how dark and gloomy it is, how it's crime invested. And I love how they explain how the Bat signal works. When the signal is up on the sky, it's not only to call upon the Batman. But also to warn criminals that Batman is on the prowl. One of the main weapons Batman use is fear. He can't be at a lot of places at once so that's how the signal came to place. It would warn them and make them fear the dark where you know he resides. They would be filled with fear, as shown from the criminal slowly backing up while looking at the shadows. Because they don't want to face him. And don't get me started on the soundtrack. It's just AMAZING. When Batman was getting out of his car with the fire behind him, slowly approaching Penguin. The sound of his heavy boots hitting the ground paired with the music is just unreal.
People also need to remember that this Battinson is early years Batman. He's only taken the cape for 2 years. He is a very inexperienced Batman out of all the others and his case is still mostly about solving crime, and also remember that Batman essentially is a detective comic, not really the flashy sort of hero. He is still getting used to stuff, as you can see the way he struck his landings is still very much amateur-ish move, not at all graceful with it. The people of Gotham are also still confused if he's the bad guy or not, as you can see when he saved that man in the beginning, he pleaded "Please don't hurt me". Gotham has not trust him yet. He has also not taken his Bruce Wayne playboy persona. He is still very much grief ridden. This is more Batman than Bruce Wayne and I love it.
+ This movie just adds a lot of subtle stuff that I love. Like how Batman used black eye makeup blend his face with his mask. It's just so cool
I was definitely not expecting this one, but I'm SO ready!!!
I LOVEDDD THIS MOVIE
Idk if anyone mentioned this yet, but the "golden hour" sequence you were talking about at 17:40 was actually filmed on one of those LED stages, the same kind of ones they use to film Mandalorian

Gonna be honest, this is the only batman movie I've sat through first go and wanted a sequeal to. I've seen all the others and they're still good, I'm just tired of hearing the same story of the perfect Batman. I think I liked this because it showed his inexperience, it showed him heavily messing up. He's still rich enough to get strong ass armor yet his inventions still malfunction on him. He's showing signs of being a great detective who could do the cops work for them, but his focus is still unrefined (which is *chef kiss* because being a vigilante isn't a perfect artform and trying to find his stride along the way is just cool to see as opposed to ninja dark shadow man). His social awkwardness is also fucking hilarious because I relate to that and can say it's pretty accurate. And it focusing on the Riddler was pretty fun, I was heavily uncomfortable through some of it which is a good thing because the mind games the Riddler's playing is genuinely fucked up - as well as some decent jokes. Batman then using morphine/adrenaline to numb out the pain he nearly passed out from to give him that kick back up, just for him to lose his collective shit and batter the hell out that guy was great. It showed he's still very much in his vengence stage, and needing to learn better. The moment he looks at the beaten face and everyones reactions to it. Then him actually figuring out just fear and brutality alone isn't gonna cut it, which means later movies we'll get to see him grow to become OP Batman.
All in all, I think it was great. I get some folk won't like it, and that's chill, you don't have to. Keep in mind there's multiple versions of Batman. This one just strikes me more because he isn't OP from the get go.
12:58 I wasn't fully paying attention to the screen and just listening so when I heard fucking con O'Neil I thought it was Izzy hands for a second 💀
I will say that night club scene with the DA was a lot more tense in the theater with the really nice surround sound, they do some really clever work with the sound design on the dialogue that made it really immersive
YES 'Your Name' is such an amazing show. Han Seohee did such an amazing job in that👌🏽
Trouble Makers, I 10/10 recommend watching it
Yesss I watched it with my sister in law and husband and we all loved it!!! The ending was awesome
Where is it available?
12:55 he sounds like the old grape off of vegitales, and when I noticed it in the theater every time he started talking I was laughing
The Batmobile scene in IMAX was the best scene in the movie. The sound of the engine shook your chest. Fantastic
Aw man I LOVED this movie. It feels more grounded than most Batman films, to me. Because this would 100% be how some kind of modern villain would invite his plans- via social media and finding like minded people.
As others have stated, he's only been Batman for 2 years and is still trying to figure out what that even means or how to even be Bruce Wayne
BRO, DYLAN AND I HAD THE E X A C T SAME REACTION TO THE JOKER AT THE END, I SWEAR TO GOD, HE SAID IT BEST, THEY'VE GONE DOWN THAT WELL TOO MANY TIMES GOD DAMN IT.
Amazing video :)
I didn't know a thing about Batman and its cinematic universe, except for a bit of joker. I went to watch this movie anyway with a friend just for Rob( I remember loving him back in the Twilight years), didn't know what to expect but damn this movie did not disappoint me! The timing of the jokes was spot on, Rob did a really good job at portraying the nascent batman. Really was an experience! My friend n I were waiting for your commentary on this. You make law school stress go away
