Batman or "The Batman"? This day and age, using "The" before superhero names sounds better IMO, I really liked that subtle factor alone with this movie title. Was hoping Aquaman could have been called "The Aquaman" but seems they use that term in the movies. As a kid, the name by itself sounded more "superhero ish" but the "The" before the name, like in this movie, brings more realism I feel. (Guess the old "I'm Batman" lines needed a facelift) Hopefully I explained that to where it makes sense. Doesn't have to be for movie titles but even in Marvel, when people talk about the heros, they normally would say "The Ironman" or "The Hawkeye" rather than using the moniker as if its their birth name. 😆
Pretty cool for the prequel novel digs deeper of the story before the actual movie. And it’s exciting for Bruce do some drift racing which explains why his batmobile is pretty badass.
Dig deeper? Not really. Emphasize the "children's book" description of this novel. I t just glosses over everything, and nothing is really that interesting or new.
Apart from the movie which I'm really excited and hopefully to see, the prequel novel is very important and interesting to dig deeper into Matt Reeves world of The Batman.
Okay two things: One: if Bruce Wayne likes chemistry and experimenting with different substances, than this could prove a good way to defeat villains like Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and Bane, if we see them in this trilogy. And two: if the bat cave is an abandoned subway station that was connected to Wayne Manor, and riddler went to live in Wayne manor, then he could know how to enter the bat cave…
As depicted in the prequel that I read yesterday, he's just another generic bad guy. Just envious that he grew up a poor orphan and Bruce grew up, at least in his eyes, a spoiled rich kid.
To me it’s seems like a more humanely motivation “jealously” i live in a country that has one of the biggest slams in Africa. It’s unbelievable the kind things do as a result.
This book is a YA book that is intended for a younger audience. To get them interested in The Batman universe. It’s really good cross marketing and it’s cool that we also get some information out of it. I don’t think they released it with the intent for people to feel they needed to read it before the movie. Especially adults. I will say, I read it with my kids and they LOVED it and are excited for the movie and it’s actually interesting to read even if you are an adult.
3:34 for anyone actually really excited that the prequel novel gives the training montage Alfred gives to Bruce, which explains the epic fight choreography Pattinson’s batman will have. As Pattinson’s batman seems to learn karate, judo, and tae kwan do, but I am actually so hyped to see him do some Brazilian jiu jitsu which as he was trained by rigan machado, who trained Keanu reeves for John wick.
Yeah, I think karate and tae kwon do aren't useful fighting styles for someone like batman, I would've loved to see batman and alfred training some Muay thai and jiu jitsu
@@A-TOP-11 Yeah it's already comic accurate, not too realistic like Dark Knight. Bats already has fictional armor that is impenetrable.

What I really like is that Edward made sure that the kids and staff were out of the building before he set the fire. Like yes he’s the villain but he isn’t going out of his way to murder a bunch of kids
I LOVE the idea that Bruce hates being recognizable especially right now when he’s younger. It really makes me hopeful that this movie is going to be the first Batman movie to truly get the “Batman is the person, Bruce Wayne is the mask” in the second/third movies (depending on the time jump and/or the development done in the spin off shows they’re planning) they can have him slowly grow into making the Bruce Wayne mask more of a Socialite that uses his recognizability and the special treatment of rich people that he hates to aid his true identity - Batman. I’m not even a huge Batman fan, honestly I tend to find Bruce Wayne to be among my least favorite of the Batman family characters, but I LOVE everyone associated with this movie and I’m genuinely excited.
Man I feel sorry for the riddler...having no parents and constantly being bullied and failing in exams does make one very agitated and angry...add into that the corruption in Gotham where the rich get special treatment...I think he can easily be one of the most sympathetic and memorable villains ever if done right
@@alexbordea259 I doubt it's due to lack of intelligence but rather he just didn't care. No friends. No family. And he used all of his time creating / working puzzles.. like literally all of his time.. which means little time was spent probably studying Math, English, World History, etc.
@@qhorton6743 Agreed, he might have no motivation to do well inschool even though the subjects provided to him are too easy he feels that his time is wasted on those and might as well go for his other agendas.
I needed this today after having a very stressful and crappy start to my day in a research lab and just seeing more stuff about the Batman has really increased my anticipation for this film
13:51 whew...thank god. I was scared for second. As much as I like the idea of Alfred training Bruce, I much prefer the idea of Bruce traveling the world and learned things from different teachers. It's one of the things that made him so fascinating to me. Batman's mind is like an amalgamation of different studies from around the world which is what makes him so dangerous and feared by even demi-gods.
Just by listening to this prequel you get an idea how practical and real this version of Batman is you can hardly find any plot holes in this really excited for the movie
Thank you for this video Chris. Was a great watch, and fascinating to see the direction they're going down. I have such a good feeling about this film, I'm just praying it lives up to it all. The fact that it's nearly 3hrs suggests WB are very confident in it
They hv many options- HBO max, animation, Webtoon . Marvel has released a webcomic on Webtoon about Eternals based on MCU. On Webtoon there is a Bat family webcomic but it seems like on it's own.
This batman I can tell will grow throughout the movies he's not interested in the business side as of now but he'll probably realize running business and RND would benefit his batman mission in later movies imo
4:20 to where the novel gives the proper explanation of Robert Pattinson’s physique is specifically on speed and agility, which fits for the style of the earlier years of Batman before bulking even more in the future.
Batman is a modern ninja, I really don't like muscular Batman. What he gonna do with all his muscle when fighting superhuman ?!, no...Batman used his big brain not with big muscle.
@@suptandarsaefulakbar1032 It only really makes sense when he's an older Batman as the speed won't cut anymore. For a second year Batman, I think the physique is on point!!
@@arcturus4317 because Batman work in the shadow (covert), a Shinobi sometimes called as "people in the shadow". And his philosophy hiding his Batman identity behind Bruce Wayne persona are similar with Ninjas "yo-nin" (open disguise), by day he's a billionaire playboy and by night he's a vengeful vigilante. Ninjas are obsessed with planning and strategies, so do Batman in comics and animated series.
I like the idea of young riddler telling an insult riddle to one of the bullies but they don’t know so they leave to try and figure it out, then realises and chases down riddler and beats him up
What hypes me up the most about The Batman movie is the visuals, the fighting choreography, how everyone looks , Gotham City is dark and gritty, and the fact it's not a typical origin story & Batman finally using his detective skills and figure out what and why the Villain is targeting him and etc . I'm glad we get to see that because we already know his origin story why keep seeing it. I want to see Batman on missions using his detective skills and etc.
So it sounds like we're likely to get two connected Batcaves in this trilogy, one under Wayne Tower and the other under the Manor, can't lie it makes sense to have the batcave built with existing infrastructure and an easy access to Gotham City so pretty dope
@@redhood7650 Matt Reeves has said its based on Track 61 in New York that FDR used, so the Wayne Terminus Batcave will be directly connected to the Batcave underneath Wayne Manor
That prequel sounds excellent! I love the little details about Bruce and the Riddler and the depth it adds to their characters. I love how it leans into Bruce's antisocial and obsessive nature, but also that he cares strongly about justice and helping people, even if he doesn't necessarily like people very much. I kind of wish it talked about Catwoman, though.
you know the fact that the riddler sound the fire alarm of the orphanage so the kids living there could escape before he burning down the building shows that he has some form of morality which is nice to see
Thank you! This prequel doesn't spoil the movie yet gives so much context to it that I'm more excited than ever to see The Batman. A lot of thought went into this story.
I was surprised by how much I didn't. Wish I had just watched one of these far more interesting review videos than have wasted three hours reading the children's book.
Ok. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! It is so original and still keeps the important key moments in Bruce Wayne's origin with a little twist. I love how they treat Bruce in this story as it steers away from the usual version we all know and tries something knew. Chef's kiss.
The fact that they mention Bruce Wayne going to different universities and taking different majors is what gets me pumped up.. now we know the origin of how he became "the greatest detective"
I'm glad they're giving the Batmobile into a much more grittier and realistic approach and how it reflects Bruce's characters. It's like his Magnum Opus since he dedicated so much to the car since he was 16.
I like this Bruce. I like the thought of him going to colleges around the world learning the subject that it's best at and the martial arts of that country. That to me makes sense
ive been reading interviews and watching the tv spots but this prequel book is honestly the best piece of info. I already love the idea of the batman movie and now im gonna appreciate it even more. As a huge batman fan, i love this book. my fav part is that Bruce goes to different universities to learn a different course and fighting skills across the world. Brilliant interpretation, get best of two worlds. That reminds me of a comic elseworld story where Bruce goes to Italy or somewhere and a man teaches him the fighting skills and detective work. I cant wait for the movie. #thebatman
Whenever you said Bruce had a lab I thought of bane because when Batman comes across bane he can take some of the venom serum ( if they do that ) he can use his lab to see what it is.
@@blackballoontheory263 yah this gives me vibes of zack snyders movies it will be like a legacy of him because this movie feels like it directed by Zack
@@Tyler-dh6qx it kind of reminds me of when Iron Man was coming out and we had no idea what we’d get in the future. It’s dark now but the fantastical is possible in this universe
I just finished reading the actual prequel book. I loved all the backstory and my favorite part was actually the relationship in the mob between falcone and cobblepot and how Bruce hates being Bruce, and the treatment he gets as a rich kid. He wants to be treated like a normal guy.
I really like how they spent a lot of time developing the street racing aspect of Bruce cuz as I was watching the car chase scene in the film I was just thinking “damn, I wonder how he learned to drive like this/where he was able to drive like 200mph without getting his ass beat. Like how did he just wake up one day after deciding to be Batman and go: wanna bet I can drive down incoming traffic with expert maneuvers at 150mph without so much as a scratch?” Like it really rounds out him as a human being. Makes him the most believable Batman I think.
He made a choice. 🧘 Between life science, vegan fitness & a fully activated glandular system concerning it thanks to 00.00% sodium fluoride I am going for the beach bod once & for all. Total body fitness & martial artistry. 🤸 I promote vegan to this day due to it being 100% food & drink solely as a basis.
Everything ive heard for the planning for this universe and how every character are about to be introduced in the future are so exciting and very intriguing to be honest. The universe they are making here for sure got me and made me more invested to this upcoming universe. Hope this movie will set the tone for how upcoming dc movies operate.
4:38 I imagined that was the case with this version of Batman I've seen some people body shamming Pattinson... that he's too thin (like "Bat in the Sun") I like that he's muscled but lean, makes sense for Batman, who tends to be a Ninja-like type of character In a fight (or competition like MMA, for example) where you use your whole body in an anaerobic way, the smaller and more lean type of guys are more mobile and can push the pace and keep the fight going for a lot longer, which can turn the tide in their favor, regardless of strength. - Having big muscles sure helps you pack a punch, but it also means you burn more energy the more strikes you throw. As the fight continues the bigger guy will gas out. - Huge muscles do mean limited endurance. These type of guys will tire more easily in a fight, and their speed also suffers, as does mobility and flexibility.
I love how realistic this movie seems. Like the bat mobile seems like something someone would actually drive, the riddler isn’t running around in green gimp-like spandex and looks so badass. But it gives him a realistic motive, and how the cat women doesn’t look like she came out of a sex dungeon but just, man the entire character design and everything is nice, it’s more realistic that Batman would just use a hollowed out metro system and not a crazy man made cave
Imagine ur watching the news and they start going over a serial killer who was just arrested and ur like "Oh sh*t. That's the guy who delivered wing stop to me last week"
Door Dash Driver: "In relation to your chicken wings, have you ever stopped and pondered about the word 'buffalo'? and when broken down, it sounds like a "buff gigolo"?... Me: yeaaa... listen man. I dont want any trouble.. thanks for the wings.
What a great video! I'm an MCU fan through and through but Batman is the best hero there is. This film has me so hyped, I've bough the Batmobile and Batcave Lego sets.... I'll listen to this audiobook too!
I really the interesting relationship between Bruce and Dax and how he helped her and her father. I love how he travels around the world to learn more about martial arts. I definitely love the mention of Metropolis and Lexcorp. I didn't see that coming at first. Got me excited.
For sure. I don’t think I meant we’d never seen it. This video emphasizes that aspect of him. I suppose that I’m hoping that “detective” means that he’ll do more than solve riddles. Like, analyzing chemical compositions sounds neat!
The only difference I feel like they've made with this Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne himself....in earlier iteration and even based on canon. Bruce Wayne has this rich play boy persona by default...I guess it comes with his identity for who he is. But in this iteration, I feel like they are making him more relatable and eventually they'll build up that classic persona, in a way building a mask for Bruce Wayne. In both cases of the earlier and the new iteration, Bruce Wayne wears the mask. Except now we are gonna see him build that mask rather than see him adopt it naturally.
Sounds like a Batman with addictions and problems. I like it. Adds some layers to the character besides what we have seen in the previous adaptations. As he’s always the same but has one fear and the no killing rule. At least now we understand his humanity and problems with his own life.
“Riddle me this, what’s blind and has eyes, used to make your fries, what used to live and now cries. You have 30 seconds” “Please just give me my food man”
Going to pick up the book now because of this vid! Interesting take on the Riddler, although the origin story is giving me major Hush vibes (grew up in Bruce Wayne’s shadow, orphan, jealous and obsessed with him, etc.).
I REALLY Like this origin for The Riddler.....I read and really enjoyed this book...just increases my already through the roof excitement level. Great video here!
The book is sold out on Amazon UK...this film is going to make $1B easy< I was cast as police officer and due to the pandemic they cancel me and another 200 extras and they brought other people, at least I had the opportunity to see the movie getting shot (Batman on the top of the clock tower and the exterior of the funeral scene) this movie is going to be epic! I can't wait!
13:39 YESS thank you Matt reeves and the writers of this novel! Y’all get the character! That’s exactly what he does in the comics! This is gonna be a good one!!!
I know, right? I get so annoyed when people bring up the League of Assassins. Bruce never even learned about the League OR Ra's until he was already trained and being Batman.
With that incredibly prominent jawline and the fact that Little Riddler used to look at Bruce’s Wayne’s picture every day, how could he not solve the puzzle of the Bat’s true identity.
I love how they explain the reason why Bruce doesn't look like all the other versions of him from the movies this Bruce wants to be a face in the crowd and be unnoticeable as possible.
I always got the impression that the riddler was staring at the camera in the old school picture. Not Bruce. I gotta still read this book myself. I want all the specific details.

@@alexbordea259 I doubt it's due to lack of intelligence but rather he just didn't care. No friends. No family. And he used all of his time creating / working puzzles.. like literally all of his time.. which means little time was spent probably studying Math, English, World History, etc.
@@qhorton6743 Agreed, he might have no motivation to do well inschool even though the subjects provided to him are too easy he feels that his time is wasted on those and might as well go for his other agendas.
I agree!

I needed this today after having a very stressful and crappy start to my day in a research lab and just seeing more stuff about the Batman has really increased my anticipation for this film
Hope you enjoy! Thanks For The Support!
Same I needed this after being a subject to a terrorist attack but this Batman stuff makes me really hyped for this film
@@Robert-mu4bs Dude that really sucks and yeah man this batman news and info is gonna be the only thing that get's me through this semester
Same here Chris always brings me up when I’m down just keep your chin up and don’t let them steal your shine man
13:51 whew...thank god. I was scared for second. As much as I like the idea of Alfred training Bruce, I much prefer the idea of Bruce traveling the world and learned things from different teachers. It's one of the things that made him so fascinating to me. Batman's mind is like an amalgamation of different studies from around the world which is what makes him so dangerous and feared by even demi-gods.
He's jack of all trades
Just by listening to this prequel you get an idea how practical and real this version of Batman is you can hardly find any plot holes in this really excited for the movie
Thank you for this video Chris. Was a great watch, and fascinating to see the direction they're going down. I have such a good feeling about this film, I'm just praying it lives up to it all. The fact that it's nearly 3hrs suggests WB are very confident in it
I would mind this book being adapted for a prequel series of The Batman.
would be cool yes but i’d rather more new content of this verse seeing as we already have the book
HBO Max!
They hv many options- HBO max, animation, Webtoon . Marvel has released a webcomic on Webtoon about Eternals based on MCU. On Webtoon there is a Bat family webcomic but it seems like on it's own.
You mean wouldn’t mind
@@Vor567tez the batfamily webtoon series is so cool man
This batman I can tell will grow throughout the movies he's not interested in the business side as of now but he'll probably realize running business and RND would benefit his batman mission in later movies imo
I’m way too excited for The Batman and this just adds to my never ending hype!
VERY HYPED!!
4:20 to where the novel gives the proper explanation of Robert Pattinson’s physique is specifically on speed and agility, which fits for the style of the earlier years of Batman before bulking even more in the future.
Makes sense.
Batman is a modern ninja, I really don't like muscular Batman. What he gonna do with all his muscle when fighting superhuman ?!, no...Batman used his big brain not with big muscle.
@@suptandarsaefulakbar1032 It only really makes sense when he's an older Batman as the speed won't cut anymore. For a second year Batman, I think the physique is on point!!
@@suptandarsaefulakbar1032 Batman is not a ninja, and I don't know why people insist on calling him that. It's like calling a magazine a clip
@@arcturus4317 because Batman work in the shadow (covert), a Shinobi sometimes called as "people in the shadow". And his philosophy hiding his Batman identity behind Bruce Wayne persona are similar with Ninjas "yo-nin" (open disguise), by day he's a billionaire playboy and by night he's a vengeful vigilante. Ninjas are obsessed with planning and strategies, so do Batman in comics and animated series.
I like the idea of young riddler telling an insult riddle to one of the bullies but they don’t know so they leave to try and figure it out, then realises and chases down riddler and beats him up
What hypes me up the most about The Batman movie is the visuals, the fighting choreography, how everyone looks , Gotham City is dark and gritty, and the fact it's not a typical origin story & Batman finally using his detective skills and figure out what and why the Villain is targeting him and etc . I'm glad we get to see that because we already know his origin story why keep seeing it. I want to see Batman on missions using his detective skills and etc.
And the fact it got an artisan fil
This movie seems very much like Batman: earth one. The Wayne’s not being so clean, Alfred training him, Thomas running for Mayor, it’s kind of scary
So it sounds like we're likely to get two connected Batcaves in this trilogy, one under Wayne Tower and the other under the Manor, can't lie it makes sense to have the batcave built with existing infrastructure and an easy access to Gotham City so pretty dope
I'm wondering if they go ahead with the idea your suggesting,how will Bruce get between the two batcaves
@@redhood7650 Matt Reeves has said its based on Track 61 in New York that FDR used, so the Wayne Terminus Batcave will be directly connected to the Batcave underneath Wayne Manor
Didn’t Christian bale’s batman also have 2 caves with one downtown Gotham?
It reminds me of Batman: No Man's Land's subway Batcave which was also makeshift.
@@campingrussian4373 yes he also had one in wayne tower
That prequel sounds excellent! I love the little details about Bruce and the Riddler and the depth it adds to their characters. I love how it leans into Bruce's antisocial and obsessive nature, but also that he cares strongly about justice and helping people, even if he doesn't necessarily like people very much.
I kind of wish it talked about Catwoman, though.
you know the fact that the riddler sound the fire alarm of the orphanage so the kids living there could escape before he burning down the building shows that he has some form of morality which is nice to see
Love the clarification on the audible lol I hate when someone says read when they listened lol also thanks for this I'm so hyped!!
Had to be honest lol
I’m so freaking excited for this movie I hope it’s gonna be super good I’m truly pumped to see Roberts portrayal of the Batman
Im very pumped for it too!!
Thank you! This prequel doesn't spoil the movie yet gives so much context to it that I'm more excited than ever to see The Batman. A lot of thought went into this story.
Really? Not the book I read. I feel like I read the Cliff's Notes version of a lackluster graphic novel.
Can't believe it comes out in 1 MONTH! So excited🦇
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the book. It was a quick enjoyable read.
Where did you read it and how many pages was it
I was surprised by how much I didn't. Wish I had just watched one of these far more interesting review videos than have wasted three hours reading the children's book.
@@generalyellor8188 wish i had the book idk where it is its only letting me buy the audio and i want to read it
Ok. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! It is so original and still keeps the important key moments in Bruce Wayne's origin with a little twist. I love how they treat Bruce in this story as it steers away from the usual version we all know and tries something knew. Chef's kiss.
The fact that they mention Bruce Wayne going to different universities and taking different majors is what gets me pumped up.. now we know the origin of how he became "the greatest detective"
Riddler definitely has ledger potential
I think Paul dannos riddler will be just as amazing as heaths joker
@@omarcarlos537 no lie told there my friend
When you first see his face its shocking
I'm glad they're giving the Batmobile into a much more grittier and realistic approach and how it reflects Bruce's characters. It's like his Magnum Opus since he dedicated so much to the car since he was 16.
Great recap! The book was a nice quick read and got me even more hyped (possible?) for the movie.
“Batman is all about justice, over the poontang!”
How many pages was it
@@ytndraco5925 only 136 pages. And there’s some glossy color photo inserts from the movie too lol.
@@mandeehess3618 where do you get it
I like this Bruce. I like the thought of him going to colleges around the world learning the subject that it's best at and the martial arts of that country. That to me makes sense
ive been reading interviews and watching the tv spots but this prequel book is honestly the best piece of info. I already love the idea of the batman movie and now im gonna appreciate it even more. As a huge batman fan, i love this book. my fav part is that Bruce goes to different universities to learn a different course and fighting skills across the world. Brilliant interpretation, get best of two worlds. That reminds me of a comic elseworld story where Bruce goes to Italy or somewhere and a man teaches him the fighting skills and detective work. I cant wait for the movie. #thebatman
He's does this in every universe at least
@@ytndraco5925 Yh I know that. But it’s a different interpretation mate
I don’t know why You re surprised he a always does that
I agree this is dope I'm excited as you are don't let these guys bring your hype down a month left enjoy the excitement
@@neil6349 I’ve always known this. U guys r not understanding that I like the different interpretation of it.
You should review the old Batman movies just like how you did for Spider-Man
He might but its to early
Whenever you said Bruce had a lab I thought of bane because when Batman comes across bane he can take some of the venom serum ( if they do that ) he can use his lab to see what it is.
No
@@ytndraco5925 no what
@@tsv1929 you know what 👆
He has venom serum he used it in the end idk if its venom or something similar
You're telling me I can get my crunch wrap supreme delivered by The Riddler?
I'm so excited to see this I hope this movie does well I can't wait if matt will make his own DC world
I hope so. This could actually be the start of a really good DCCU. A whole new JL and all.
@@blackballoontheory263 yah this gives me vibes of zack snyders movies it will be like a legacy of him because this movie feels like it directed by Zack
@@Tyler-dh6qx it kind of reminds me of when Iron Man was coming out and we had no idea what we’d get in the future. It’s dark now but the fantastical is possible in this universe
@@blackballoontheory263 yah I have one thing why does this movie have to be PG 13 not R rated
@@Tyler-dh6qx i was wondering the same thing. We’re getting pretty dark so why not go all the way with it?
I have faith this will be the best Batman movie after the dark knight .
I just finished reading the actual prequel book. I loved all the backstory and my favorite part was actually the relationship in the mob between falcone and cobblepot and how Bruce hates being Bruce, and the treatment he gets as a rich kid. He wants to be treated like a normal guy.
Thank you brother! I wanted to know if it was canon or not, I'll definitely pick it up now!
"this is the elevator to the batcave" rip unlucky guess
You made me more excited to read the novel
I really like how they spent a lot of time developing the street racing aspect of Bruce cuz as I was watching the car chase scene in the film I was just thinking “damn, I wonder how he learned to drive like this/where he was able to drive like 200mph without getting his ass beat. Like how did he just wake up one day after deciding to be Batman and go: wanna bet I can drive down incoming traffic with expert maneuvers at 150mph without so much as a scratch?” Like it really rounds out him as a human being. Makes him the most believable Batman I think.
He made a choice. 🧘

How did you read it?
Everything ive heard for the planning for this universe and how every character are about to be introduced in the future are so exciting and very intriguing to be honest. The universe they are making here for sure got me and made me more invested to this upcoming universe. Hope this movie will set the tone for how upcoming dc movies operate.
4:38 I imagined that was the case with this version of Batman
I've seen some people body shamming Pattinson... that he's too thin (like "Bat in the Sun")
I like that he's muscled but lean, makes sense for Batman, who tends to be a Ninja-like type of character
In a fight (or competition like MMA, for example) where you use your whole body in an anaerobic way, the smaller and more lean type of guys are more mobile and can push the pace and keep the fight going for a lot longer, which can turn the tide in their favor, regardless of strength.
- Having big muscles sure helps you pack a punch, but it also means you burn more energy the more strikes you throw.
As the fight continues the bigger guy will gas out.
- Huge muscles do mean limited endurance.
These type of guys will tire more easily in a fight, and their speed also suffers, as does mobility and flexibility.
I love how realistic this movie seems. Like the bat mobile seems like something someone would actually drive, the riddler isn’t running around in green gimp-like spandex and looks so badass. But it gives him a realistic motive, and how the cat women doesn’t look like she came out of a sex dungeon but just, man the entire character design and everything is nice, it’s more realistic that Batman would just use a hollowed out metro system and not a crazy man made cave
The Batcave isn't man made.
It's an actual cave under Wayne Manor.
Bruce just filled it with equipment.
@Ryan Wilson what if it's the greatest armour in the world
@Ryan Wilson maybe Bruce trains with a weight vest to get acclimated
@Ryan Wilson I actually think the character of batman is pretty realistic
@Ryan Wilson why wouldn't the grappling gun be realistic
The origin story for Robert Pattinson's Batman is perfect!😃
This subway Batcave idea, it reminds me of the 2012 Ninja Turtles cartoon, and that lair works
Imagine ur watching the news and they start going over a serial killer who was just arrested and ur like "Oh sh*t. That's the guy who delivered wing stop to me last week"
😂😂😂
Door Dash Driver: "In relation to your chicken wings, have you ever stopped and pondered about the word 'buffalo'? and when broken down, it sounds like a "buff gigolo"?...
Me: yeaaa... listen man. I dont want any trouble.. thanks for the wings.
What a great video! I'm an MCU fan through and through but Batman is the best hero there is. This film has me so hyped, I've bough the Batmobile and Batcave Lego sets.... I'll listen to this audiobook too!
Wow. They need to shoot this prequel story. The batman would be an incredible mini series!
I love that I literally just got this book in the mail, sat down at my desk, refresh youtube and see four spoilers before I get to read a word 😂
Haha sorry fam!
UA-camrs thrive off of spoiling things and trying to be "first" on their content.
I really the interesting relationship between Bruce and Dax and how he helped her and her father. I love how he travels around the world to learn more about martial arts. I definitely love the mention of Metropolis and Lexcorp. I didn't see that coming at first. Got me excited.
"the detective side of Batman" is super important to see and something I'm excited about.
Dude we saw his detective side on Batman forever
For sure. I don’t think I meant we’d never seen it. This video emphasizes that aspect of him. I suppose that I’m hoping that “detective” means that he’ll do more than solve riddles. Like, analyzing chemical compositions sounds neat!
I love how I can relate to aspects of both Bruce and riddler, having a connection to both makes thier dynamic more interesting
The only difference I feel like they've made with this Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne himself....in earlier iteration and even based on canon. Bruce Wayne has this rich play boy persona by default...I guess it comes with his identity for who he is. But in this iteration, I feel like they are making him more relatable and eventually they'll build up that classic persona, in a way building a mask for Bruce Wayne. In both cases of the earlier and the new iteration, Bruce Wayne wears the mask. Except now we are gonna see him build that mask rather than see him adopt it naturally.
Wayne Orphanage? If Bruce Wayne is in charge of it; try and guess who he'll take in...
Himself for starters
Urghh I really hope we got Robin in this trilogy. Dick Grayson specifically
Sounds like a Batman with addictions and problems. I like it. Adds some layers to the character besides what we have seen in the previous adaptations. As he’s always the same but has one fear and the no killing rule. At least now we understand his humanity and problems with his own life.
“Riddle me this, what’s blind and has eyes, used to make your fries, what used to live and now cries. You have 30 seconds”
“Please just give me my food man”
Going to pick up the book now because of this vid! Interesting take on the Riddler, although the origin story is giving me major Hush vibes (grew up in Bruce Wayne’s shadow, orphan, jealous and obsessed with him, etc.).
Excellent breakdown Chris! Super hyped for this!
Chris you’ve been killing it lately my dude! Nonstop awesome content! Keep it up cause I’m hoping they put you in a UA-cam clip in scream 6! 😂
Bro your whole set up with your collectibles and lighting is so awesome. Thanks for the video!
This version is so much darker and uses much,much,much more RED LIIIGHTSS!!
I REALLY Like this origin for The Riddler.....I read and really enjoyed this book...just increases my already through the roof excitement level. Great video here!
I can’t believe that the Batman comes out next month
Well I wasn't expecting this video but thank you Chris for this pleasant surprise. 🙌🙏
The book is sold out on Amazon UK...this film is going to make $1B easy< I was cast as police officer and due to the pandemic they cancel me and another 200 extras and they brought other people, at least I had the opportunity to see the movie getting shot (Batman on the top of the clock tower and the exterior of the funeral scene) this movie is going to be epic! I can't wait!
If this is true post a video showing your back ground character along with your face it would be a cool flex.
13:39 YESS thank you Matt reeves and the writers of this novel! Y’all get the character! That’s exactly what he does in the comics! This is gonna be a good one!!!
I know, right? I get so annoyed when people bring up the League of Assassins.
Bruce never even learned about the League OR Ra's until he was already trained and being Batman.
With that incredibly prominent jawline and the fact that Little Riddler used to look at Bruce’s Wayne’s picture every day, how could he not solve the puzzle of the Bat’s true identity.
Iove how you use images from Batman: Earth One. An amazing series that seems to be a HEAVY influence over this movie
Remember when Hideo Kojima said Rob's Batman is great because he has more agility and speed, and the comments just laughed at him.
I love the novel , riddler creeps me the hell out
Riddler was always the villain who could walk the fine line between serial killer and terrorist.
Awesome trailer
A
Can't wait for the 6
Movie!
Just realized your caption of "this is elevator to bat cave" is wrong after watching the movie... it was not the bat cave.
I love how the Riddler still save's the children before burning the building cuz it show's he still has sympathy
It’ll be nice going into the film now knowing this information, thanks Cris I enjoyed the story it told.
7:42 Riddler’s last name isn’t Nygma in this version. Its Nashton.
They should use the Batman novel picture for the movie poster
“Batman is all about Justice over the poon tang!”
Thank you so much for this.
😂😂😂
I love how they explain the reason why Bruce doesn't look like all the other versions of him from the movies this Bruce wants to be a face in the crowd and be unnoticeable as possible.
Really hoping for a Robert Batman saga I could see this iteration go the distance.
This is so awesome. Makes me think it will be a masterpiece.
In the name of realism, I’d prefer to keep this Batman AWAY from super heros like Superman Flash Wonder Woman etc.
So basically Bruce wants to switch places with Edward Nigma.
I always got the impression that the riddler was staring at the camera in the old school picture. Not Bruce. I gotta still read this book myself. I want all the specific details.
