The Batman! The Robert Pattinson Manbat. One of those movies that is amazing and you should know it. It's got its issues, even I had a few head scratchy moments in theatres…a few face explody moments. But let's talk about it! Here's everything right with The Batman! Part 1.

Riddler: "Bruuuuuuuce Waaaaaaayne".
Batman internally: "oh fuck oh shit he knows who I am he's going to tell everyone fuck me there's a camera recording it's going to be everywhere this is the end for batman".
Riddler:"He's the one guy we didn't get".
Batman internally: "thank fuck I didn't say anything"
I love how that scene was lead up to and played out. Pattinson's "Bruce Wayne" performance in the Batsuit is so good. I put Bruce Wayne in quotes because he's only able to be himself as Batman. As Riddler says, "I'm looking at the real you."
His assumption that Riddler knows he's Bruce causes him to almost instinctively put up that persona he very clearly struggles to maintain. But when he gets rug pulled from under him, his aggression shines through like, well, the bat signal.
@@scarigamez it makes you wonder how he was unable to put 2 and 2 together though. Bruce Wayne is barely out in public and clearly deprived of sunlight whenever he is, and he just happens to be absent when he gets the bomb delivered. Not to mention the high tech equipment Riddler is aware Batman has access to, but eh.
@@mercury2157 based on how Riddler admires Batman and the looking at the real you thing, he didn't even consider figuring it out. The thought never crossed his mind because Batman is just Batman to him.
When I first heard that part in theaters, I got so scared 😂😂
I take this scene as a catalyst for him to put Bruce Wayne out in public. While Riddler didn't figure it out, how long would it take him to or anyone else. This along with his speech at the end would make great starting points for a sequel where he tries to do more as Bruce Wayne rather than Batman.
That shot of the Batmobile leaping through the flames, followed by the upside down shot of Batman walking toward Penguin, is easily my favorite sequence in any Batman movie
That shot sold me on this movie
The moment of Batman walking in an upside down shot made me realise that he is legitimately horror movie villain to the criminals. His theme in that scene is horror movie villain's theme: foreboding, omnious and sinister. And then, when the theme played in the finale, with minimal orchestration change, they made it a hero's music. Giacchino outdid himself.
It doesn't quite top the pit escape from DKR for me. That has to be one of the most applause-worthy moments in film history.
The shot of the batmobile starting up with the score pumping is still one of the best batman scenes. But the whole chase is just brilliant.
Oh yes!
2 things:
1. It’s awesome as hell that both Batman and the Batmobile get basically the same intro, where you hear them before you actually see them. Absolutely pitch perfect Batmobile sequence with perfect build in tension.
2. Love how subtly funny Bruce is in this, contrasting how dour he is. Constantly turning phrases and being a smartass, but not in a cocky way, more biting. “Alright, I got you on assaulting an officer!” “You got me on assaulting three”
idfc what people says about the movie. I love this movie so much, I think this is a great movie and I don't get the hate this one's getting. this is an immature version of Batman/Bruce Wayne, it's his sophomore year for fuck sake. his gadgets aren't that hi-tech just yet, his fighting skills aren't really that honed just yet, and he's too emotional compared to the other Batman where they are already completely incorruptible especially the Christian Bale's Batman in The Dark Knight. people really need to realize this one, that this is a young Batman who's just thinking he can avenge his parents by punching random thugs in the face or getting surrounded by 20 thugs and tell them "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"
I will never stop raving over this movie. The shot as he literally leads the people of Gotham out of the darkness is absolutely beautiful. Bruce’s realization that being “Vengeance” is not actually creating good in the world and that if he truly wants to make the world a place where nobody has to lose their parents he needs to be better. He needs to care more, he needs to be Batman.
AND he needs to be Bruce Wayne. This movie was him realising what he needs to embody as Batman, but the sequel will have to show what he can do as Bruce, since this movie showed us a Bruce who didn't really know what to do with the massive power that comes with being a billionaire
@@Senny_V I think that would be a really strong sequel. I think, especially in this day and age of increasing inequality, showing Bruce learning to use his wealth to affect actual tangible change on the lives of others would be amazing. Rather than just punching bad guys, he learns to take down systemic injustices.
Yes. Needs not to be vengeance but batman
@@Blueeyesthewarrior hope we get to meet Lucius Fox as well, he's sorely missed.
Also I imagine he's gonna be getting a few upgrades considering the wingsuit to parachute "fail" he had. I mean he took quite a fall when the parachute snagged on to the bridge.
You missed 2 wins:
- When Batman is about to jump off the building, he was initially hesitated. This shows how inexperienced Batman is at the time.
- The street he crashed is La Salle Street, the same one used for the truck flipping scene in The Dark Knight.
honestly, I think him flinching or hesitating isn't something that should stop. even though inexperience is probably what they were going for, like you said, I kind of appreciate the idea of even batman in 10 years hesitating a little. cause he's just a guy, and it will never not hurt or be a risk to do that, but he does it anyway and that's what makes him cool.
@@charliefielding2297 Especially with how rough the landing was
*ding!*
@@charliefielding2297 I get what you mean here but...he's still The Batman, a seasoned Batman has pretty much no fear. This is a dude who bluffed so hard he made Darkseid back down from a fight, his balls are harder than Adamantium.
Seemed to me like this was probably his first time leaping off a building like that.
@@mrcheesemunch Yeah I get what you mean, he knows that half the power he holds is through sheer intimidation. I just find it humanising to know he still has that base instinct for 'shit this is gonna hurt'. But he can't let others see it, i guess.
Even though this movie is 3 hours long, it’s one of the most rewatchable movies I’ve ever seen
Worth all the time
It's a REALLY good movie but not really that rewatchable for me. The "wow" moments are not really present or underdevelopped.
@@Ticey I disagree but can see where you're coming from.
I've watched the film 5 times, the chase sequence 10 times, and Batman starting up his car 91 times.
Disagree. It feels like a 3 hour movie. There's a lot of bloat in this movie.
Here’s a win that should be mentioned:
This is Zoe Kravitz’ second time playing Catwoman, after the LEGO Batman Movie
I love the fact that the filmmakers included the black eye makeup for Bruce. It makes his whole Batman getup look that much scarier.
And more accurate. Every other live action batman actor since Michael Keaton has worn eyeshadow under the mask, but they take it off when their mask comes off.
agrred
The slow creepy bat eyes is cuz he’s recording so he wants to scan everything so he can look back at it later. That’s why he walks so slowly around crime scenes
I love this movie
bravo matt!
Good point!
Batman’s arc in this movie is perfectly surmised by one consistent bit of physical acting
1.) Bruce is visibly squinting in the entire scene where Alfred is trying to decode the first cipher because of daylight streaming in from the windows
(“Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal”)
2.) At the end, when Bruce is helping the woman being airlifted, he’s looking up, clear and wide-eyed in the daylight
Vengeance in the night -> Hope in the light
Great catch! That's awesome!
And while they spell it out. Him realizing that there is more to justice than vengeance.
this made me tear up. this is also exactly why I'd trust this batman with a baby acrobat.
he has so much room for growth and at no point does the movie make you feel like he's set in stone like the other live action batmen.
Ooo.
That's a nice additional detail, makes this movie more amazing the more tiny details like this arise
I love how they did Bruce's arc. They gave us a by-the-book Batman flick where he spends most of the time brooding and dealing out concussions, just to pull the rug and have him ultimately fail because his approach would largely be ineffective since he was only dealing with the symptoms of crime, not the cause. I also love how, political read aside, the final climax is Bruce having to literally deal with Batman fans who romanticize him as a brutal punisher. I extra love how that revelation pushes him closer towards his role as the first responder/defender role he takes in the comics (and the animated adaptations).
Also, I just interpreted the large explosions as stylish flair, not an actual representation of the size and intensity of the blasts.
Ooooooooh….you have to donate to get a love comment! Noooow the comments section makes sense!
@Chris Foster dude, there's over 1k comments, plus he has other videos he's putting together on top of taking care of two small children. Try not to take it personal if he doesn't react to your comment.
But he loses in the movie he doesn’t come out victorious. Worlds greatest detective just to be out smarted by the riddler
@Willy that's the point. He wasn't trying to outthink Riddler, he was trying just applying the same blunt logic that he applies to dealing with street crime.
The whole point of the movie wasn't to give us the world's greatest detective. The point was to give us Batman as we've been happy to receive him in every big screen outing, and then show us why that wouldn't work out.
Bruce doesn't start the movie as the Dark Knight Detective, he's Gotham's Vengeance. It isn't until after he loses so bad that he sees what he needs to do different and become the Batman.
@@-MrFozzy- grow up lol.
That's it! This is how they're going to get the iconic line! The first movie has, "I am vengeance." The second movie will have, "I am the night." And the next movie will have, "I am Batman."
nice head cannon! And honestly i hope it will actually be like that
@@rix.777 canon*
PLEASE. We haven't gotten this catchphrase in live action
@@Iliadictechnically we have with Kevin Conroy look up “Crisis on Infinite earths Kevin Conroy”
I love in the funeral scene where Battinson exits the car he starts to smile just a tiny bit for the cameras but immediately bails. It's so forced from him and equally hilarious and sad
And then immediately hunches over and looks at the ground like “Why did I do that? Stupid.”
Paul Dano is finally getting the praise he truly deserves. Dude has been so underrated for a decade, glad that his Riddler performance was highly praised
I wasn't excited for another Batman movie, didn't even watch the trailers or read news about it, but the moment I learned that Paul Dano was going to be in it I knew he was going to kill it. Loved him in Prisoners. And this one ended up being my fav Batman movie.
As scary as this version of the Riddler was, I really liked it. Paul Dano is even writing a six issue comic series called Riddler: Year One.
Really that’s cool
@@monsterking1973 It really is cool. It’s set to come out on October 25th, 2022, which as of now is in 31 days.
He’s underrated solely because he wants it that way. He’s one of the few actors in Hollywood that wishes to and also has the privilege to choose role that interest them. Anyone who has seen There will be Blood and knows how Paul earned that role understands how utterly talented he is.
Can we just appreciate the sound design that went into making the Batmobile almost a vigilante in itself? I saw this in the theaters TWO times, and every single time I heard that monstrous roar when Batman fires it up, making my seat and the whole theater rumble, I had GOOSEBUMPS all over my body. Absolutely top notch sequence!
I felt like the Batmobile was a mix of Mad Max's Interceptor with a bunch of Christine thrown in, especially the driving on fire part.
The Batmobile in this movie had the feel of an angel of vengeance coming for your soul, an absolutely terrifying, and incredible sound. Others may have had guns, but this batmobile was truly a tool of fear, designed to not only be a fast car, but also to instill fear into those Batman is hunting.
It gives me the same vibes that old Century Series aircraft (F-100 Super Sabre, F-104 Starfighter, etc) have
A vehicle designed from the ground up to brute-force its way through the streets, like how Century Series aircraft brute-force their way through the sky
ROCK AND STONE
This was everything I wanted from a new Batman movie, I absolutely love it.
Couldn't agree more
My girlfriend is NOT a super hero fan, but she even loved the more Detective/Flim Noir feel of this one.
Really? Because my reaction coming out from the cinema is that it didn't worth a movie ticket.
@@sogerc1 dk what to say to you then. If it wasn’t your cup of tea then fair enough but I think it’s as close to a comic book accurate take on a Batman film.
@@harrisonlucas1381 Agreed.
On Battinsons workout routine, his physique much more closely resembles world champion fighters rather than a bodybuilder, which makes much more practical sense for Batman in general.
He actually looks about the comic proportions of Dick Grayson. Dude was never *built* like Bruce was. Even as an adult, dude was still an Acrobat, not a Bodybuilder.
@@thebighurt2495 yeah the only batkid who’s actually built like bruce somewhat is jason
@@singulariteasit's reflective in how Red Hood fights too.
I especially love Batman's relationship with Gordon in this film. It feels very unique from other iterations where they basically treat each other as equals. Here, Gordon almost seems to begrudgingly look out for Batman out of pity and often voices his frustration with the guy's caginess. I almost get George and Lenny vibes from their relationship, like Gordon fears the idea of Batman snapping and going too far one day and having to put him down. I also love how the two actually share a bit of a chuckle when Gordon tells Batman to punch him in the face so he can escape. We never really get to see that side of Batman in the movies.
I have ADHD and struggle even sitting through a 10 minute episode of a show without leaving the room to run around. I sat through this entire 3 hour movie without leaving the room once, and I think that says something about how compelling it is
I have the same problem. I don't know what their source is but they definitely used some kind of magic to make the film feel a lot shorter than it is.
@@daggern15YES, honestly i was so surprised when i realised this film was 3 hours long after i’d watched it
Eyyy
Saw the movie multiple times with different friends, some liked it more than others, but no one disliked it.
No one believed Collin Farrel was the penguin under prosthetics. And even if you know, its a completely different person.
Congrats on first
Bulsh... huh. Never would have seen it.
I had occasional moments while watching where I felt like I should know him from SOMEWHERE (I think maybe the occasional facial expression or something was JUST enough to trigger a shadow of recollection), but I was totally blown away when I got to the credits and it was Collin freaking Farrel. Just phenomenal work.
Kvothe pfp
@@nelisezpasce you may have heard of him
Robert Pattinson's Batman has the greatest introduction of any of the live-action Batmans ever simply because of how he's created as this Baba Yaga like figure. The camera focuses on the shadows, and we get his voiceover to start off the film, and once the Jokerz are brought in we slowly hear his footsteps emerging from the darkness and then he appears. I got shivers the first time I saw this film in theaters and he was introduced.
Definitely mine too. Batman has always had a thing of criminals should fear him but this is the first time that I feel they went out of their way to make Batman scary. And damn did they pull it off. Pattinson Batman is just relentless and terrifying.
The Baba Yaga is terrifying but I wouldn't compare her to Batman, lol, unless Wayne Manor has massive chicken legs that it can walk on in a moments notice.
@@benjamintillema3572 it's a metaphor. Not a literal 1:1 comparison in all aspects. In this case it means a dark mythical figure you speak about in hushed whispers or something like that. Unless you also think Keanu Reeves car or whatever also had chicken legs in John Wick.
@@nexus6100
Yes, it's also funny they called him Baba Yaga in John Wick. I meant no offense, it's just that of all the Boogeymen from different time periods and cultures we could choose from as the standard bearer Baba Yaga was chosen, who is I'd say equally horrifying and ridiculous.
@@benjamintillema3572I wouldn’t put it past Batman to make his house be able to get up and walk, haha.
As someone who was rooting for Robert Pattinson as an actor since 2010, him playing Batman was a dream come true for me he was perfect imo definitely my favorite love action Batman
I always found it fascinating that as Batman he stands taller than even most of the cops. He towers over everyone he talks to as this intimidating force but as Bruce he seems almost reserved and like hes hiding in on himself. He always keeps his head sort of down and slouched not really meeting anyones eyes. It goes to show just how split the two personas are from each other at this point. Honestly that difference that Robert displays made him my favorite live action batman. No disrespect to any of the others (especially adam west) but this is a batman that is broken and suffering in his own personal hell and it is fascinating to watch. Throughout the movie i also noticed that he basically lives the line from Iron man in the MCU "if you need the suit you dont deserve it" towards the end of the movie we see him becoming more confident and grounded. His two personas mixing to form THE batman and by the end of the movie we see him become someone worthy of the suit and the symbolism behind it
Love this version of bruce so much because hes just so… shy. When hes not in the suit, he keeps his head down and avoids eye contact and is so soft spoken. He doesnt have the playboy persona yet.
Even in the suit he is HORRIBLY socially pathetic and ONLY can communicate through the investigation. Hes got the tism….
I think there's been a couple runs that imply / show Brucie as being on the spectrum, being tested when going through therapy after his parents' deaths. It makes a lot of sense!!!
@@biboofers6390 IT DOES it makes perfect sense to me!! I really identify with this version of bruce and his mannerisms as an autistic person, which for the record, I have NEVER seen myself in bruce Wayne before
I am absolutely convinced that his kiss with Selina was this Bruce's first kiss.
@@biboofers6390 as an autistic person, both this version’s bruce wayne and riddler are clearly neurodivergent and it works for the characters so well
@@blue3616 IT WAS IT ABSOLUTELY WAS this version of Bruce and Selina is just that meme "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" kjfvbskjbdf
another thing I love is the fact that we see Bats put on his eyemakeup. it's rushed, panicked and greasy. in the shot where we first see him without the mask after his night of batmanning, the makeup is faded, smudged and dropping and it's greasy and not matte like other batman movies tend to make it out. perfect attention to detail
I know it's all gonna be said at the end of the next part but I really love that The World's Greatest Detective actually does some detective work for once! It was so damn refreshing. but I also love that, even though he knows the lingo and even gets a lot of the earlier clues before the other cops, eventually it's his own lack of perspective from the poorer Gotham experience that gets in his way. Not knowing Spanish, (the second most spoken language in America), or not knowing the tools of a working man's trade. Catwoman clocks him for a rich boy after knowing him a day. it's such an amazing take on how he sees himself as just another victim of Gotham, but doesn't recognise the privilege he truly has.
This movie gets better and better the more you think about it. So many layers and so much appreciation to detail within the films reality and the characters themselves. Batman having a character arc for once where he thinks vengeance is the only way to change things and then seeing his real role is as a watchful protector was a very fulfilling and credible change for a year 2 batman to have. Both the opening and closing monologues are tow of my favorite scenes. I could gush about this movie all day, an incredible film on every level
Just a personal thing, but I love whenever Batman is called THE Batman. Or the Bat Man Because it gives him a mythological/urban legend-like feel and its brilliant for an early Batman. Like Arkham Origins, which was set a similar amount of time into his career and the thugs often questioned wether or not he existed and I love that.
Cillian Murphy! "He's here....the Baat Maaan". Best delivery of that name of all time. I love it too!
it's fun for the games when the thugs are taunting you and calling you nicknames like "Bats" and stuff, but it's much cooler in this movie where they're too busy shitting their pants.
Yes, i prefer batman as a fucked up devil like myth than the known crime fighter batsie
My favorite part about this movie is that they turned the Riddler into a twitch streamer/tiktok influncer and they managed to pull it off pretty well
A take on "modernizing" the villain that managed to *not* tick off the fans.
Basically critiquing how much power the internet has and how easily someone can start a string of violence
riddler onlyfans when
There are 2 types of people
i didn’t come into the movie expecting camgirl riddler but they pulled it off so well
The opening narration of this movie perfectly explained who Batman is, what he does, and why he does it the way he does it. God I love this movie.
Also one of my favorite movie scores ever? I can't even listen to the funeral music without tearing up.
I like how they made use of his walking/boots. The fact, that he can be absolutely silent when he needs to or terrify the crap out off his next target, just by stomping in the dark. And the sound it makes...oh i love the metal clanking.
From the moment I walked out of the theater I couldn't stop thinking about The Batman. It just wouldn't get out of my brain. I saw it twice, got the prequel book, and got the art book when it came out. I adore this movie so much.
Is the prequel book worth reading? I adore this movie and want to read it but if the books bad I’ll be upset lol
wait there's an art book??
@@jacquelinewithac8668 Its fine. It sheds some light on Riddler's backstory and some of what Bruce was up to when he was younger. Hardly required reading though.
I love how in the movie, the first shots of the movie from riddlers perspective made us think the kid was Bruce Wayne.
Batman's angry, calculated fighting style is so brutal. He's always aiming for points to cause the most damage.
I love that he always takes a few hits in every fight. It feels much more grounded when he's not perfect.
I love the opening when Riddler kills the Mayor because you get the sense that after all his years of planning and revenge it could have all fallen apart if he had screwed up bonking him on the head.
12:22 I like how this moment is shown from Bruce's perspective
So we can feel what is like to escape from an angry mob
Even when you rely on your best gear, moments like this are truly terrifying
*The Riddler in the comics and other adaptations:* A genius with a bowler hat, a mask, a question mark cane, and a green suit.
*The Riddler in The Batman:* Looks like the kind of guy that you can find on the Dark Web.
Really down to earth
Well, that's how The Riddler or someone like Zodiac Killer would be in real world.
@@TheManOfTomorrow or victor Zaz
DOES HE KNOW?
Love it!!! Hated him until this movie.
Everything about that early shot at the crime scene...him staring at the kid who found his dead dad, holding that stare a few seconds too long, reminded you everything you need to know about why Bruce Wayne is Batman. What a creative way of re-establishing that trauma without a Thomas & Martha death scene... Though I do hope we get some sort of glimpse through nightmares or something. That would be cool.
Also, the bat-signal being a normal spot light with a few shutters broken and bent into the shape of the bat wings? C'mon. So good.
Honestly my favourite batman movie personally
Also, can I say the fact about Michael Giacchino’s Score is pure perfection? The man is truly built like our new John Carpenter, now directing a Special (Werewolf By Night)? I support him 100%.
Even the little clips of it that come through in this video reminded me just how amazing it was
I watched this at an early preview with my older brother and dad, and at several points throughout the movie, my brother would just quietly whisper “I feel like I’m watching a comic book”…… and he’s 100% correct. Matt Reeves, his DP Greg Fraiser, Michael Giacchino, and Robert Pattinson absolutely nailed every aspect of this.
This version of the Batmobile is the best one yet. That intro shot of it coming through the alley, looking like it was coming out of the depths of hell itself. And then that roar as he floored it.
I love that the bat in the light is made from cut pieces of the light. It isn't an additional piece
I can only describe this film as a miracle. Amidst the muck within the genre and against all likely odds of turning out mediocre, we instead received a timeless film of pure technical brilliance
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE BATMAN!! This is definitely my favorite version of Batman, next to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Matt Reeves made this cinematic masterpiece and I loved every second of it. And the cinematography in this movie is unmatched. It is the prettiest cbm ever made. The soundtrack was pitch perfect and Michael Giacchino really over delivered in this.
One thing shown in this video that I really loved in the film is when we hear Bruce Wayne’s voice from Batman’s cowl. It’s so rare in any Batman feature to break through the mask like that and remind us of the man underneath. Pattinson’s performance in that scene definitely doesn’t hurt, either.
And every time it happens it’s when Batman is in such a stressful situation that he no longer cares about disguising his voice. First when he was asking the DA about the bribes, then when he was trying to call Alfred, and finally when he was interrogating the Riddler.
One of my favorite scenes of the movie was with the bat-signal, followed by the criminal looking at the dark alley. It just made it seem as though the shadows was an actual living being the way it was displayed here. Your own imagination would conjure images of the shadows with tendrils just slipping out and pulling you in.
The opening 30 minutes were perfect, the criminals terrified of the shadows because batman is that good at what he does
I think the way they made the new batmobiles "scream" as it started up really sold how terrifying it could be, how the sound of it can inspire terror. Peak audio work
the batmobile introduction scene is probably the best batmobile introduction scene I've ever seen in any Batman movie. The way it looks and sounds, like an actual beast hunting its pray and how it actually strikes fear, it's absolutely insane, I love that scene so much.
The fact that the sponsor was Adam and Eve, and they probably have Batman and Catwoman themed (but obviously not officially licensed) stuff is not lost on me. Use the promo code to get a whip!
A phenomenal, perfect Batman movie. Up there with the Batman movie series that featured Heath Ledger's Joker. Just perfect in every way. What a unique take, depicting Batman in the early years. And I love the unique take on the Riddler. He isn't some silly guy in question mark suits. He is equally as much a dangerous, psychotic terrorist as the rest of them. He was so intimidating. He was great! Riddler is so underrated, nice to see him get his due like this. And Robert Patterson impressed me. Sounded like a haha meme when he was cast, but he truly was great in this role. If it weren't such a long movie, I'd be watching it over and over again.
This is a version of Riddler that, if you stuck him in a room with Joker, it's honestly not sure which one would walk back out.
@@thebighurt2495 Exactly. Brrr. Chills down my spine.
The best part of this movie for me was the introduction/Batmobile chase. There’s no better scene in this movie. The startup in the dark, hearing the mix of turbine whine and big V8 rumble, while only seeing the glow of the engines is absolutely insane.
Colin Farrell was AMAZING in this. I can't see how he didn't get an award for this.
I agree, but his character in this movie didn’t really do any for the plot
@@delany3186 great observation. Didn’t think of that. But is that his fault or how the character was written?
You mean Ray?
He's one of the Oscar top contender this year for The Banshee, and with solid performance with Penguin and After Yang movie he has a best chance to win it.
Colin was so amazing that even though I'd checked the cast list (not characters to avoid spoilers) before watching it, completely forgot he was on the list and didn't realise who was playing Penguin until the credits rolled at the end. The man's a ninja in this.
2 Things
1) Colin Farrell is such a fantastic and often unappreciated actor and from first hand accounts he's actually an awesome human being IRL too.
2) When I saw this in theatres (twice) I couldn't help but laugh nervously at the Batmobile because however they managed it I believed that it was like an animal of it's own. The engine roar winding up like its a jet motor and especially jumping through the flames just absolutely terrifying in theatre.
The upside down slow walk up to the penguin might be my favorite shot in film. Everytime I see it the better it gets.
Honestly what I love most about this movie is how it shows Bruce becoming an almost mythical figure to criminals in Gotham by the end.
The batmobile entrance was the greatest movie scene I have ever had in a theater. The sound design alone made it amazing. I went a second time just to see that scene. The theater literally shook and it was so loud, it was fucking amazing. It was pure bliss. I literally can't find the words to describe it.
Me and my friends watched this movie kind of on a whim and we went in with honestly not much in terms of expectations, but holy crap I am so glad we watched it because I don't think I've enjoyed myself that much in a movie for a long time. This movie is fantastic
To me, THIS is the most true Batman film ever made. Feels like it was made from the ground up by people who truly care about this character and his world. The Direction. The Acting. The Music. The Cinematography. Everything is just to such a high standard. Makes other comic book films look even more like the family friendly, super hero comedies they are in comparison.
I've never been so on the edge of my seat and surprised by a movie in a while. The mystery in this movie is absolutely amazing.
Absolutely true to that one, Michael Giacchino is always a win. You got that right. 13:35
I'm not usually one to notice all the film techniques but I really noticed how good the cinematography was in this, especially of the city. The batmobile winding up gave me chills in the cinema, as a car guy it was awesome.
The sound of the new Batmobile warming up is my favourite part by far, sounds like a witch screaming type thing. Puts everyone so on edge!
I like that they kept it fresh.
And they did it well. It's rewatchable
The opening and closing monologues are the best representation of Batman's beginning career. The cinematography is so phenomenal
One of my favorite things is the walk after the car chase. It’s the only time in the film his walk has spurs played over it like he’s some bat cowboy
This movie gives us something the others only gave pieces of: Authenticity. To the character and the universe. I can't wait for the sequels.
The fact that they had a character named Anni and said it correctly is enough for me to only have great things to say about this movie. 👏🏻
Guess you would love star wars phantom menace lmao
@@joaopaulogalloclaudino9671 haha. My tennis coach in high school would call my Anakin. And told me to “use the force” all the time.
This is the only movie I've ever watched in movies twice, I think that chases scene was the most tense moment of my life
Of course the movie shows us Bruce is facing his trauma, something that needs to be shown more, the fact Batman is dealing with things in the worst possible way, he’s also trying to give people something to fear so they will think twice before doing crime.
I better see a win for the opening fear montage showing that whilst the criminals fear batman, it *doesn't* actually make any of them fail at their crimes. They all pull off their crimes, they just were a little afraid on the escape
Seeing this movie in theaters was worth it. The action scenes were so loud compared to the rest of it whenever someone starting fighting I got jump scared tho.
The Batman is a fantastic film. This movie really explores batman in a very different way. Robert Pattinson does a phenomenal job as the caped crusader, so much so that when you look at batman, you also see Bruce Wayne and his inner torment and darkness lurking within. The scenes with Bruce without the suit interacting and Alfred were very effective and powerful. All the characters are true to what they are supposed to be like. All the actors which include Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Collin Farrell, Paul Dano do an excellent job at helming these iconic characters. My only problem is that at times the characters survive things that they shouldn't be able to. The story is very well thought out and meticulously planned and crafted. The Villain, Riddler, is tragic, understandable, smart, cunning, and overall effective and I had no problems with him. The action is expertly choreographed, very well shot and confidently directed. This is by far the best looking batman movie. I love the Nolan films. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and favorite superhero film. But the cinematography by Greg Freizer is just pristine and down-right gorgeous. This film's visuals are on a whole another level. This is probably the best looking comic-book films I Have ever seen. It's only real competition is Aquaman (great looking film). Now Michael Giacchino had a very difficult task ahead of him. The character of Batman has been blessed with beautiful scores over the years, from the iconic score by Danny Elfman, to the underrated score in the animated series and the energetic and exciting score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard (My Favorite). The Legacy is hard to Live up to. But I am happy to say that Michael Giacchino has composed a flawless score for this film which itself was enough to put me on the edge of my seat. Its just a testament to why he is hired to compose so many films. This is the best Batman score since The Dark Knight trilogy. Now I won't spoil, but at the end of this movie, Bruce learns a lesson and it was beautiful. The arc he has as Batman is amazing. It is something I have never seen in a comic-book film, and it perfectly sends the message of what a hero is meant to be. This film actually delves deep into one aspect of Batman that the other films only addressed, and that is that he is 'The World's Greatest Detective'. That is what made the film so unique and fresh, the fact that is truly a mystery movie. Overall, you can probably see that I am very happy. I am honestly at a place with Batman right now where I have not been in a long time. This is my favorite Batman, DC, and probably favorite comic-book movie since The Dark Knight. its only real competition is Joker(2019). The Batman is an incredible experience. If it weren't for that problem I mentioned, this movie would have probably been better than The Dark Knight for me. This film is a technical masterpiece, and is beautifully written. Matt Reeves is truly one of the best film-makers working today. He showed promise from the start with films like The Planet of the Apes sequels and Cloverfield, and with this movie's trailers. The movie lives up to my hype and I had a Blast. In short, Go Watch It.
This has quickly become my favourite movie of all time. Saw it for the third time last night and it’s just flawless to me!
Thanks for the new ball gag Lee! 😂
This movie is probably one of my favourites, had a massive hyperfixation on this since it came out!! love this
I personally love how in the car chase scene with Penguin and Batman, the Batmobile is filmed and made to sound like a savage, feral monster. The way the engine revs sound like roaring or snarling, the way it slams into the back of Penguin's car like it's trying to tear the bumper off. It's all so amazing and really puts into perspective how terrifying Batman is in the eyes of the criminals he fights
The monologue. The amazing lighting. The epic shots. The suspense. And the fights in this movies is what I know is the top Batman movie that I don’t see being topped anytime soon. I had my doubts the dude from the Twilight movies would make a good Batman, but holy cow he is a nearly perfect one with him being both Bruce and Batman.
Fun Fact: Riddler was actually inspired by The Zodiac Killer
Idk about his introduction specifically since it doesn’t really parallel anything Zodiac did. Its just his overall vibe that was inspired by Zodiac
Easily one of the best comic book films in years
I love Batman as he can be the darkest superhero or the most light hearted and kid friendly superhero
What I love about main theme in this movie is that it almost sounds like it's trying to say "IT'S... THE BATMAN..."
YES- I loved this move and I’m so glad that you’re covering it now!!!
5:06 I find that kinda funny since Rob Pattinson keeps stuck with that Twilight vampire reference! (Except that vampires in Twilight can withstand sunlight)
Honestly, one of my favorite things to enjoy during my viewing of the movie was catching all the "Something in the way" reprises throughout the soundtrack.
Bruce walking in the rain at the beginning of the film with that monologue sold me right there.
I mean I knew he's gonna nail the role, but that part gave me chills and I knew I will see something special.
I really hope one day we get everything great about a silent voice.
You made megamind happen so you can probably make a silent voice happen too
*you lied BestNickNameEver, you said you would never stop commenting on this channel and this was your latest comment*
@@raineseth5661 i only comment on movies that I've actually watched, expect for thor love and thunder cuz i absolutely hate that movie
This is the last sponsor I ever expected for CinemaWins lmao
I love Batfleck and I also loved this shot from Batinson. There's room for both.
What A Film! This is Class!
I can say A Lot of Things I Love about It! But I'm just gonna focus & Say The Editing is Amazing! It Flows in This Particular scene where We see The Bat Cave for the 1st Time! So Bruce is going through the Cipher (From The Riddler) and Looking at What He's Recorded! Then we see Alfred come in and he's talking about how Bruce could Loose Everything! But He sees the Cipher Also! Then it Cuts to the Day and Alfred's (Reminiscing about His day's in The Circus & Trying to Figure out The Cipher) meeting the CEO's? About How to save the Company etc! Normally we'd have a scene with Alfred and the CEO's etc But We Don't! It Cuts Straight into Both of Them trying Again a New method to Solve The Cipher (And They Do) in The Bat Cave! Then it Cuts Straight to Batman and Gordon in the Garage and they Find the Car n Key! They use the Finger to find Photos of Falcon and The Penguin etc! Then Batman's Knockin Fuck Out of Everyone in Penguins Night Club!
I might Not have Explained it Well!? But if you get what I'm saying? It's Genius Editing and It Happens A Lot in This For Me Classic Noir Type n Style Film! Cheers n Thanks EGA 🍻
I absolutely love this version. Paul does so well with acting as both Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Plus, this movie goes way more into his roots. Some of the more recent movies go more into his fighting and backstory, but this one goes more into his roots as a detective. It's called DC for a reason, and this reminds fans where Batman as a character started. Plus, the more creepy version of the Riddler and the mystery and misdirection works SO well with the detective Batman. I love this version so much and am so excited to see if more like this comes from DC. If it does, they can do a lot better than they have. They tried too hard to catch up to Marvel, but this new version can actually work for some audiences! I love this so much.
Paul?
Me and my big brother watched this movie 1 day before it came out in IMAX Theaters. TBH, it does feel so dark and scary, especially when they are solving riddles. I love the Batman movie.
the new theme for the batman is just perfect when he came out of the darkness walking slowly towards the thugs, i got chills of excitement.
Red and Black is honestly such a good color combination.
Considering his work on the Planet of The Apes films. I knew Matt Reeves would do an excellent job. And could you cover Rango?
When the Riddler started singing Ave Maria, my stupid mind immediately went to those Filthy Frank videos where he'd sing it as a joke. So I am in the theater trying to stifle a laughter while everyone is terrified of him.
I 100% loved this movie. It gives us a Batman we rarely ever see. That the sheer PRESENCE of Batman was intimidating, almost stifling in a way that made you uneasy. Not to mention I love his relationship with Gordon here and seeing them actually work together was awesome. The Riddler actually unnerved me while watching this and the fact he technically won in the end...this is not a Batman movie we are used to, but I will so see a second one.
I remember seeing this in theaters and feeling my jaw hit the floor during the car chase scene. One of the most epic scenes I have ever seen, up there with the "Avengers Assemble" scene in Endgame.
