He suspected it was him that's why he kept saying his name to get a reaction and let out a sigh of relief 0:29 because he wouldn't handle the fact that the person he hates the most is also the person he idolized
Do you know what being an orphan is? It's 30 kids to a room. 13 years old, already a Drop Head, numbing the pain. You wake up at night screaming because Rats are chewing off your fingernails.... And every winter.... one of the babies dies. Because it's just.... so... cold. 🟢♠️🟢
How did you manage to fuck up his speech so badly when you can just rewind and listen to it, it's like 12 seconds long how did you possibly fuck this up
For me, the most heavy hitting part of the whole movie was how realistic Riddler's struggle is. This is still happening in real life, maybe just a few blocks away from where you live, and no one says a god damn word about how many kids died on a winter because somebody didn't give enough money AGAIN because of corruptness. I was never an orphan but the reality of this scene hit me HARD.
i honestly feel for riddler here. this scene was absolute gold and stood out to me because of riddler being open and ranting about bruce being more favored solely because his parents were affluent. most orphans don’t get pampered like bruce did and are mostly disregarded and misjudged. so i kinda get why he was mad
I was an orphan once, so I heavily related to that. Babies died everyday where I was. I was only a year old, and it was at least 40 babies in a sad building.
@@GanondorfsWifei’m so sorry, the world doesn’t shed much light on issues like this. the neglect, poor conditions and struggles shouldn’t be put on any child. i hope you’re doing fine and healthy now.
Body language is everything in this scene. The body language Batman displays in the movie so far is one of confidence and recklessness. The body language Bruce Wayne displays at the funeral and the iceberg lounge and around civilians is a language of fear and shyness. Bruce Wayne believes Riddler unmasked him, so here we see Bruce Wayne in Batman’s suit, not the Batman. It is scary to think about what would have happened if the Riddler did not alleviate Bruce’s fear as soon as he did.
@@SpudSpudoni "No, not at all. Batman has some very interesting mental issues but Dissociative Identity Disorder is not among them. The reason he thinks of himself as Batman and not Bruce Wayne has more to do with his obsessive crusade for justice."
I love how Riddler calls out that even though Bruce knows the loss of parents, he doesn't feel the pain of almost starving, or the abandonment of all of society not caring if you live or die.
@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 I wish I had the opportunity to proverbially pike a stick at the world I've done it before many times in small ways, and it's so amusing how quickly so-called decent people revert to the mentality of a child having a tantrum The human race is so easy to anragonise
I just love how Batman here isn't really Batman but Bruce, just look how he looks down and doesn't make eye contact at all. He thought he was discovered and all that confidence goes down. His Bruce Wayne persona is shy, awkward, and vulnerable. When he's in the suit, he makes eye contact, he's confident, he feels strong and that's what i love about this movie
I think the detail is so cool: *Batman and Riddler identify and look alike.* Both are orphans, both are another person behind the alter-ego (but in reality they are their true faces). However, Bruce chose the right path. Edward was psychotic and vindictive enough to get over it. Great actors.
The riddler was antihero and less of villian. He took out corrupt . In comics or cartoon he’s more of villian doing heist, and sometime righteous revenge
I see. Well. To be honest, @@sukunasgaylover, I can honestly see potential in Robert Pattinson when he's not relying on his looks. Glad I was right with him doing The Batman
Given what we know of Riddlers' past in this version of Batman, it makes sense why he snapped; imagen that you were in his position if you want. You grew up in a run down broken orphanage, it lacks the ability to take care of the basic needs of its children, you hear about a new death every winter of such a young soul, your education and teachers never gave you the chance to shine, you grow up alone and scared, and when you finally age out of that place you find that the outside world is even worse, you begin looking for answers too why so many people including yourself have suffered so badly when Gothams' effective King Thomas Wayne had promised too fix all this, you learn that damn near every official in Gothams' government had turned the spark of hope into an Guillotine of despair, chopping off the heads of those who truly care just so that they can fill their pockets with your money. Wouldn't you go mad if that happened too you?
A mindset I've harboured ever since I was a child I've often wondered how close I am to what the human race considers a monster. What feeble barrier is keeping all those dark, vile thoughts from getting out Alone, scared and cold. I know that's my future
I thought this scene is the best part of the movie. Bruce Wayne lost his parents and was an orphan, yes. But not really. I'm not an orphan myself but I never realized how difficult it is for them growing up penniless and living in cold place could effect them so badly. Sure, Bruce Wayne was tortured psychologically by his parents death but he wasn't like the orphans of Gotham City. In a way, you kinda understand why the Riddler hates Bruce so much.
I agree. Riddler has a point for disliking Bruce, because while he was living in luxury, despite the pain of losing his parents, Ed and those other orphans went through hell in that orphanage.
Im an orphan..well very close to one anyway, and i found the whole orphan thing in the movie very interesting . Yeah, Bruce had all the luxuries a rich person would have like food, a very very good shelter (lol), a butler, a warm place during winter, a butler, and a great education. And he didnt have to deal with the things that the Riddler faced in the orphanage like being cold, hungry, drugs, baby's dying, rats. While I understand Riddler's distain towards Bruce (I've been there my self at one point) and how he "really isn't an orphan". BUT, at the end of the day he lost his parents (they both did) and no money in the world is going to be bring them back and yeah while money can numb the pain the psychological trauma that it causes on someone is beyond the worth of money. idk i just found that whole aspect of it really interesting
Let's say that they are two people who faced the same situation, but that we had different resources, and because of this it led to two different scenarios. I think that's what makes Riddler fascinating, because he's a Bruce Wayne who didn't have the money or Alfred, a dark reflection.
@@mikephelps9238 but it's not Bruce's fault that he got more attention for being rich. Sure, Edward has a point and what happened to him and the other orphans was unfair, but so is hating on Bruce when none of it was his fault.
@@mikephelps9238 if u think not going through the EXACT same hardships as u is reason to dislike someone you're in for a very rude awakening about life
Dude prolly the best scene riddler was attacking Batman’s soul, like bats looked like he was gonna off himself, until riddler gave it away that he didn’t really know bats was Bruce Wayne then he lit up like a Christmas tree “oh”
Riddler here comments on all the difference between him and Bruce, and how the latter still got a lot out of life. I don't think Edwart knows that Bruce is Batman, because he just tells him that he's the only one who's escaped him, so he confesses everything he hates about Bruce, not knowing it's in front of him. It's important, because Bruce realizes that despite being an orphan like Riddler, he had a different fate because he had Alfred and his family fortune, this gave him the opportunity to choose a better fate than other orphans. It is an awareness, because it made him understand that the problem of Gotham is not only street criminals, but also the corruption of the system and how criminals are also victims of it
Bruce had the luxury of a devoted guardian, the ivory fortress of Wayne Manor, and billions in the bank What if he had the Riddler's childhood? He would have become a very different person
What a scene! Literally my favorite. I don't want to spoil it too much, But what a masterpiece, and honestly in my opinion, the best and most ideal version of Batman they managed. The movie literally shows and explores "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline and legacy from a very different perspective in comparison to all the others, and this new cast especially with Pattinson nailed it. A film with an excellent soundtrack, a perfect storyline, a great cast, great effects, and emotion, it was literally a masterpiece and an unforgettable movie, and I have nothing negative to say about it. Truly worth it, and can't wait for the future of this Batman trilogy!
My dad has his own handyman service here in Baltimore and he makes way more money than my 4 white friends dads combined. I'm basically a black Bruce Wayne.
A brilliant piece of filmmaking that makes Riddler's motivation work: Gotham's corruption has been showcased throughout the movie, so when the Riddler talks about his nightmarish upbringing we believe every word of it. We don't need a flashback of Riddler's origin to make his word carry weight.
While Bruce was cringing because of the fear that Riddler had exposed his true identity, do you think he was also feeling guilt-ridden about his relatively comfortable upbringing (despite the death of his parents) in comparison to the orphans of Gotham?
You know people in this comment section kinda prove his point about “all they care about is unmasking you but theyre missing the point”. No one is talking about how he has a point, Bruce may have suffered from his parents’ deaths but hes not a lonely orphan. He had Alfred and many other servants and Wayne employees helping him. Most orphans live in squaller, their lives painful from the very beginning, and yet we overlook them and focus on billionaires who suffer the slightest bit of average human experience
See, maybe I got it wrong, but the way it's shot it really looks like the Riddler knows that Batman is Bruce. There is a moment at the beginning of the conversation, when the Riddler says Bruce's name for the first time, it shows Batman looking at the camera recording. It seems to me that the Riddler knew this and played this game, "sparing" Bruce from exposure. Sort of playing him for the same team as him. I could be wrong, but that was my interpretation of the scene.
I felt the same in the theatre itself. The way riddler mutters Bruce slowly and that look towards him. I think he knows and just played along at the end
Tbh this character would've made more sense for Victor Zsaz considering he was an oprhan turned serial killer, Nygma had parents, albeit absuive ones that trauma pushed him to be better and causing him to grow an ego.
After Riddler says “Bruce Wayne”, Bruce looks at the camera. Riddler peeped Bruce peeping the camera and processed in that moment that Batman was looking at the camera because he was thinking about whether or not he now has to get rid of him. What’s unclear is whether Riddler said his name to provoke an incriminating response (because of previous suspicion), or if Riddler was just bringing up Bruce Wayne casually and the peeping of the camera is what allowed Riddler to put 2 and 2 together. Either way, the shit he says to Bruce after that is 100% meant to be provocative. “Lying dead daddy...” just isn’t some shit you say to a person. Dude said that shit to fuck with him 😂
I think people missed that this scene was homage to the end of Batman Forever when Nicole Kidman’s character questioned the Riddler at the end about Batman’s identity and Riddler just went insane 😂
he kinda has a point don't you think? about being an orphan. Bruce's parents died and he inherited billions of dollars. Most foster kids; bunk beds, crappy food, maybe abusive guardians. not that it excuses him being a psychopath. but I'm just saying
Yes, material wealth clearly makes all the pain of seeing your parents murdered in front of you go away. What a whiny little boy Bruce is, being all traumatized and angry. If all it takes is having a few bucks to make you feel better about your family dying, then you kind of sound like an awful person.
While I can sort of understand that he's trying to say the circumstances are different between him and Bruce at least concerning their upbringing, it also shows how crazy and bitter(jealous?) he is. So much so that he's taking it out on others.
when you experience as much injustice as he has , withan entire life destroyed because you were born in the wrong family, while a spoiled kid gets presented as the true victim of the system, you get a little angry
The scene was supposed to be played out just like Willem Dafoe’s character in American psycho. Act like you know who he is like you’ve nailed him at the same time you’re totally unsure
Great scene - Riddler knows exactly thats he's talking Wayne, but the enigma here is does Bruce understand he's been unmasked. If riddler and joker become allies in the next movie that would be awesome.
i still think he knows batman is bruce wayne and he was just messing with him here and he’s never gonna tell cuz he’s crazy about solving puzzles and who the batman is is the greatest puzzle he could ever solve why would he just tell everyone

It is an awareness, because it made him understand that the problem of Gotham is not only street criminals, but also the corruption of the system and how criminals are also victims of it
Bruce had the luxury of a devoted guardian, the ivory fortress of Wayne Manor, and billions in the bank
What if he had the Riddler's childhood? He would have become a very different person
I was blown away by this scene. Defs the best scene in the film imo. That bait and switch was just perfect.
The riddler freaked me out with this scene I thought he somehow knew
0:31
DOES HE KNOW???
What a scene! Literally my favorite. I don't want to spoil it too much, But what a masterpiece, and honestly in my opinion, the best and most ideal version of Batman they managed. The movie literally shows and explores "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline and legacy from a very different perspective in comparison to all the others, and this new cast especially with Pattinson nailed it. A film with an excellent soundtrack, a perfect storyline, a great cast, great effects, and emotion, it was literally a masterpiece and an unforgettable movie, and I have nothing negative to say about it. Truly worth it, and can't wait for the future of this Batman trilogy!
People who complained the movie was "white people bad, its all about saying white people are privileged" clearly didn't watch this scene
My dad has his own handyman service here in Baltimore and he makes way more money than my 4 white friends dads combined. I'm basically a black Bruce Wayne.
They’re triggered over the “white privilege assholes” line. Poor incels.
@@SasquatchWithStyle You better start training now then
@@SasquatchWithStyle Try not to use the backdoor exit after watching a movie
What kind of terminally online person even says such a thing?
The more Batman movies they make, the more I realize I don’t relate to Bruce wayne at all. I realize I relate more to joker and the riddler.
yep same i find them more hero than batman
Even though what he did after this was horrific, you still get where he's coming from.
Funny the whole time Batman thought he knew his identity, but Riddler thinks the two should’ve gotten “him” instead
I legit started sweating when he said this I was like damn they are already going that route
Riddler: Bruuuuuce...Waaaayne...
Batman: Draaaaaainage! Draaaaainage, Riddler, you boy!
You can tell he somewhat agrees with everything he’s saying.
Batman needed a change of underwear after this scene
A brilliant piece of filmmaking that makes Riddler's motivation work: Gotham's corruption has been showcased throughout the movie, so when the Riddler talks about his nightmarish upbringing we believe every word of it. We don't need a flashback of Riddler's origin to make his word carry weight.
Riddler: Bruuuuuce Waaaaaynee…
Batman: 😳😰
The most sphincter clenching moment in any batman film. I damn near evacuated my bowls when it was revealed Nashton didn't actually know. On my god!
I remember watching this in the theater, thinking “ oh man really know who Batman is hahaha
I love how he just looks at the cameras as if the person in charged knows his identity
I don’t care what anyone says. He’s the best Batman ever!!!
While Bruce was cringing because of the fear that Riddler had exposed his true identity, do you think he was also feeling guilt-ridden about his relatively comfortable upbringing (despite the death of his parents) in comparison to the orphans of Gotham?
You know people in this comment section kinda prove his point about “all they care about is unmasking you but theyre missing the point”. No one is talking about how he has a point, Bruce may have suffered from his parents’ deaths but hes not a lonely orphan. He had Alfred and many other servants and Wayne employees helping him. Most orphans live in squaller, their lives painful from the very beginning, and yet we overlook them and focus on billionaires who suffer the slightest bit of average human experience
See, maybe I got it wrong, but the way it's shot it really looks like the Riddler knows that Batman is Bruce. There is a moment at the beginning of the conversation, when the Riddler says Bruce's name for the first time, it shows Batman looking at the camera recording. It seems to me that the Riddler knew this and played this game, "sparing" Bruce from exposure. Sort of playing him for the same team as him. I could be wrong, but that was my interpretation of the scene.
I felt the same in the theatre itself. The way riddler mutters Bruce slowly and that look towards him. I think he knows and just played along at the end
I love this so much
i can tell w that lacryboy pfp LMAOOOO
He knows who Batman is.... Trust me
Plot twist: this is Michael Bolton from Office Space if people keep asking if he’s related to singer Michael Bolton.
Tbh this character would've made more sense for Victor Zsaz considering he was an oprhan turned serial killer, Nygma had parents, albeit absuive ones that trauma pushed him to be better and causing him to grow an ego.
After Riddler says “Bruce Wayne”, Bruce looks at the camera. Riddler peeped Bruce peeping the camera and processed in that moment that Batman was looking at the camera because he was thinking about whether or not he now has to get rid of him. What’s unclear is whether Riddler said his name to provoke an incriminating response (because of previous suspicion), or if Riddler was just bringing up Bruce Wayne casually and the peeping of the camera is what allowed Riddler to put 2 and 2 together.
Either way, the shit he says to Bruce after that is 100% meant to be provocative. “Lying dead daddy...” just isn’t some shit you say to a person. Dude said that shit to fuck with him 😂
Does he know? 🤯🤯
I just notice that Batman's eyes lit up when Riddler said, "he was the only one we didnt get."
it's a sign of relief
he talks more about it in riddler year 1 comic
Does he know?
I think people missed that this scene was homage to the end of Batman Forever when Nicole Kidman’s character questioned the Riddler at the end about Batman’s identity and Riddler just went insane 😂
hits different after reading riddler: year one
Riddler does have a bit of a point.
You're saying Bruce deserves to die cuz he was a rich orphan ? Lmao
@@mkro633 no, definitely not.
@@mkro633 yes
But Bruce could make the lives of poor of Gotham more easy but he don’t that’s why I hate Batman
“Barron Trump... he’s the only one we didn’t get...”
You’ll see...😊
They really should've had the balls to make him Anarky.
It fits so much better.
I like this quasi-political version of Riddler better. He makes a lot of the same points as Anarky but he's not a pretentious douche about it.
DOES HE
KNOW?
Yep we definitely didn't get him and I am definitely not him, let's change the subject...
he kinda has a point don't you think? about being an orphan.
Bruce's parents died and he inherited billions of dollars. Most foster kids; bunk beds, crappy food, maybe abusive guardians.
not that it excuses him being a psychopath. but I'm just saying
Pheewww...I thought you were talking about me..er um....WHAT ABOUT BRUCE WAYNE..
DOES HE KNOW
Theres something so weird about how he says it, its almost like he actually does suspect its true
When Bruce realized that his life was actually great and he has no reason to be sad
Yes, material wealth clearly makes all the pain of seeing your parents murdered in front of you go away. What a whiny little boy Bruce is, being all traumatized and angry. If all it takes is having a few bucks to make you feel better about your family dying, then you kind of sound like an awful person.
Wait is the Batman cannon with The Joker? Thomas Wayne was running for Mayor in that one.
It isn't, unfortunately
You can pretend
While I can sort of understand that he's trying to say the circumstances are different between him and Bruce at least concerning their upbringing, it also shows how crazy and bitter(jealous?) he is. So much so that he's taking it out on others.
when you experience as much injustice as he has , withan entire life destroyed because you were born in the wrong family, while a spoiled kid gets presented as the true victim of the system, you get a little angry
Riddler is real hero
Batman supports only real villains in society in this movie
Nah. Riddler killed innocent people with the flood, people that weren't to blame for the corruption and his shitty life.
Paul Dano is born to play Creepy characters - same as that priest in "There will be blood"!
And the creepiest character of all:
Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine 😂
does he know?
They could've made it better being comic accurate instead of baseing him off a killer my zodiacs an Aries btw
The hate towards rich people in this movie is unreal.
Good

is the batman character cgi? if thats an actual man, he looks SUPER weird, he has alien features if hes not a cartoon.
Why do you think the Riddler said "Bruce Wayne" twice before talking about his childhood?
Because the Riddler failed to kill Bruce Wayne, he didn't know that Bruce and Batman were the same person.
@@marcelo816551 He Adore Batman

@@marcelo816551 But why do you think he said "Bruce Wayne" twice, as if baiting Batman? Do you think he suspected that Batman was in fact Bruce Wayne?
@@Sisyphus27 stop trying to make the scene fit your idea.. watch it again &accept it for what it IS..
@@Sisyphus27 I think he just really hates Bruce Wayne and was disappointed he was the only one he didn't get. as he states in this very scene.
Thomas Wayne = Donald Trump
Bruce Wayne = Barron Trump
Wayne Tower = Trump Tower
Riddler + Joker = me...
The two sides of Trauma.
The scene was supposed to be played out just like Willem Dafoe’s character in American psycho. Act like you know who he is like you’ve nailed him at the same time you’re totally unsure
Great scene - Riddler knows exactly thats he's talking Wayne, but the enigma here is does Bruce understand he's been unmasked. If riddler and joker become allies in the next movie that would be awesome.
i still think he knows batman is bruce wayne and he was just messing with him here and he’s never gonna tell cuz he’s crazy about solving puzzles and who the batman is is the greatest puzzle he could ever solve why would he just tell everyone
