*1:33** - "58 SECONDS!"* Paul Dano is one of the best actors I've ever seen. The psychopathic, sadistic personality he has as the Riddler, the mental breakdowns... it's so accurate to the comic book character. That part in the theater everyone around was silent. They didn't laugh, or say anything. It was scary.
We are at a time where villains are actually done well and their psychology actually represents those of psychopaths/criminals in the real world. Compared to villains back in the day who seemed scripted and fake
Not exactly. The bomb began ticking at 0:45 and detonated at 2:35 so 10 seconds under. Still though for the last riddle the timer is actually almost 100% correct in its countdown.
Peter Sarsgaard's wife Maggie Gyllenhaal played Rachel Dawes in 'The Dark Knight', where her character shared the exact same fate: Got blown up by a Batman villain.
A true masterclass from Pattinson, Dano, and Saarsgard. The delivery of the line "HOW MUCH?!?!?" from Pattinson's Batman is so great because despite him not caring about the fate of Colson due to him being one of the corrupt cops in Gotham, he still doesn't want Colson's blood on his hands.
I have to disagree. Batman is indeed concerned with Colson's fate, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to get Colson to answer the riddles and confess.. Batman does not want Colson to be killed by The Riddler. He wants Colson to live to answer for his crimes. Unfortunately, Colson is in too deep and chooses to protect the lie with his silence rather than speak the truth.
Peter Sarsgaard is so underrated in this scene. Gil Colson, although a terrible person, feels so human that you have to emphasize with him in this scene. And it's a great divide between the Riddler and Batman
This scene was a masterclass in suspense and acting imo. I was gripping the sides of my chair the whole time in the theater as Paul Dano's Riddler utterly commanded the scene with his unsettling, yet subtlety tragic presence. I actually felt butterflies in my stomach as he was about to blow up the DA despite having no connection to that character.
Not to mention he makes you care a little. He’s a scumbag but in the end he chose to sacrifice himself to keep Falcone from hurting his family and friends.

I love this vastly different take on The Riddler. Instead of being depicted as a wacky criminal mastermind like he's mainly depicted in most of the Batman media whether it's Jim Carrey or the late Frank Gorshin's portrayals, but as a mysterious and deranged serial killer, but still keeps his general characteristics & traits like his obsession with Riddles and Puzzles etc Paul Dano really nailed it as The Riddler in _The Batman_ I must say.
he's not always wacky. in some iterations like the animated series, the arkham games, gotham, and the chuck dixon comics, the riddler is smooth and charismatic, which is what I prefer him to be.
At 1:41, I laughed when he said "he didn't ask me that", and after watching the rest of the movie, I realize that he said that so he'd avoid bringing up that the cases involved Falcone.
It's not exactly real-world logic but as the above reply stated, he did cover his face with the gauntlets which are armored and presumably resilient enough to protect his face.
Frankly speaking, how great was Paul Dano? I will repeat this forever...like Heath Ledger's Joker is THE JOKER, Paul Dano's riddler is THE RIDDLER! He is exactly like Zodiac, awesome!!!
This scene is perfection on so many levels, the fear on his face knowing he’s dead either way is just amazing and I hope we get a performance of this level in the later sequels.
Something really underrated about this scene is that Colson actually died choosing to protect his family. A dirty POS, but at least he died with some sense of honor
Eh. Not really. He was saying he'd die either way. His choices were basically "I die" or "I die, and my family dies." Choosing the former is just smarter...not really more honorable.
Not only was it him showing that yes, he isn’t just a bad guy he made bad choices, it also is terrifying that within 20ish seconds he has completed accepted that he is dead now either way. That is haunting and really emphasizes the intensity of the corruption in the city and the power being held over him that even with a literal bomb around his neck, he is just as dead if he gets out of it. But not only him, his family as well. That just fuels the mystery so well, on top of humanizing someone who wasn’t just a mustache twirling corrupt DA.
I love this version of the Riddler. This one; he is based on the Zodiac killer. Also; Putting a bomb around a guy's neck; something The Joker would do.🃏
Paul Dano crushed it! A true testament to how great of an actor he is that even though a good amount of his scenes are through a phone/computer screen and his face is completely hidden under a mask that he manages to make you feel like Riddler is in the room with you. “I’m giving you a chance. No one ever gave me a chance” is bone chilling.

@@adamnasir2 Then you don't understand the film! He's not Batman yet, at this stage bruce is full of anger, rage and hate, he has a lot to learn. Like he learnt at the end, he can be a symbol of hope, not fear. He's been Batman 2 years
@@adamnasir2 It's meant to show you he's broken tho. We'll see a change in him the 2nd one, I hope it is happening coz I love The Batman. The Batman and Joker are epic, DCEU sucks tbh. I don't think James Gunn is gonna save it either, It just needs scrapping and rebooting
The funny thing is, most people probably assumed that Batman having a deep and growling voice is just a throat problem. One of the two reasons why I am happy Robert Pattinson did not got all out with the growling.
The way Colson was so scared of giving out information really made it feel like it was hinting at Court of Owls. I don't think Falcone would put such fear of God in him alone. Also on another note. I love how the last comment you see at 2:30 on that stream is someone actually feeling bad for Colson and asking if this is okay to watch him explode. It's hilarious.
Also could be League Of Assassins (lead by Ra's Al Ghul) as well. Of course in semi-realistic styling Ra's Al Ghul would have to be title instead of person.
@@TheImSolid League of Assassins does not have agents in specific places. If someone captures one of their associates and puts them in bomb collar to make them talk, that associate is dead. Either bomb collar goes off or Ra's sends one of his own killers to silence him as damage control.
At the end of the movie it's just revealed that it's Falcone who owned pretty much everything. But I wonder if somehow he was under the court, guess we'll see
@@SamC_182 you’re partially right in “Gotham” it shows Falcone and some court of owl member having a chat, and highly doubt that now since Falcone is dead, the court of owls basically rule over everything. They were created in 1600s wayyyy before Falcone and wayyyy before Batman. Which shows he was also mentioning the court of owls
When he said “I’m giving you a chance…no-one ever gave me a chance” that line send chills up my spine cuz it was such a good line to give in that moment
Paul did a fantastic job portraying Riddler's obsession and love for puzzles and riddles. He gets extremely excited and happy whenever the DA plays along with him, so it's very convincinf
I mentioned, in a true crime group, about how Riddler is largely based off the Zodiac in the movie and someone mentioned how this scene might’ve been influenced by Death of Brian Wells. A pizza delivery man that was held hostage and forced to rob a bank with a collar bomb locked to his neck in 2003. Netflix did a documentary on that called, “Evil Genius”.
That’s how most serial killers are. Many years ago in my state there was a murderer named Craig Price. My mom said one of her cousins had him in juvenile detention, and she said what made him the scariest in the class, was that he was the nicest.
As a Batman fan, the fact that we get so many good interpretations like Bale, Affleck and Pattinson is so cool. every single one of them did a great job in different aspects of the character.
My head-canon for Batman somehow surviving basically a 1 inch distant explosion is the shrapnel from the explosive was directed into the DA and not outwards. From my understanding, the actual fiery explosion itself is not the super lethal part of explosions, it’s the shrapnel. The fiery bit is just a chemical reaction and lots of blast pressure but the little fragments that are expelled by the explosive’s high pressure are the real killers. Then again, that amount of energy is still not very healthy for a human body and you’d probably die unless you were a super-hero… which Batman is. Also, Batman’s gloves are armoured so the ‘minimal’ shrapnel that had been expelled outwards was most likely blocked when he covers his face. And the blast wave was probably padded out by his armour overall. But tbh, I am more surprised about his actual armour plating and cape being intact, more so than his face being unaffected. Sorry, I just wanted to nerd out about Batman and alleviate plot armour confusion. If anyone has more scientific explanations please give.
There are actually directional explosives that are specifically designed to focus the blast in just a direction, they are called shaped charges. But I doubt that in the context of the scene The Riddler would have gone this far just for the sake of the punishment. For this scene the only thing that was required from the audience is the suspention of disbelief, he was Batman, that's how he survived that without a burn.
One thing I love about this scene that isn't shown in the clip is right afterwards, when you can _clearly_ see the concern on Gordon's face after the bomb's gone off.
To me Robert Pattinson was the best as Batman (while I still love Christian Bale as the Dark Knight) to me Robert was like the equivalent of Tom Holland when he played Spider-Man.
@@dannydevito2989 I agree and I won't say it's recency for me, the other versions range from fine to great but none of them captured the faithful core quality of Batman like Robert Pattinson's version did imo.
@@Philosophical24 So trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee except OH WAIT you didn't even watch BvS when it came out...Wanna know who did? Me. I did. And I loved it. This still a W movie though so nah not recency bias it's just a good Batman movie for fans.
This scene was actually really suspenseful and the acting of Riddler’s actor was amazingly psychotic, I haven’t seen a superhero movie in a while that had a good suspenseful scene or was good at all, this film is great
This scene was Scary, Thrilling and pure DREAD. The Atmosphere, The Acting, The Plot, THE MUSIC! And pure feeling of Hoplessness is just clear as daylight and PERFECT. It's a masterclass of not only Suspense, but Horror. Reeves treated Batman like a God and Portrayed him as what he's meant to be: A Horrorifying Entity (in the thugs perspective) and Vengeful Spirit of the night that puts genuine fear into thugs and brings justice to the streets of Gotham in an extremely Rash, violent and raw way in his early 2 years. I couldn't take my eyes of the screen, it's that scary. It just feels so real and scary since it's a situation that literally could happen in real life. Not only that, it felt like a Batman Graphic Novel come to life, the darkness, horror elements and grittiness in this Movie is what makes it the BEST Batman movie to date, and it's not even a Horror movie, yet there are so many moments in this that make you jump as if it IS one. I cannot wait to see what Reeves has Planned for The Caped Crusader in The Batman 2. By far a Masterclass in Cinema, Acting and Plot. This is a Masterpiece.
I didn’t see it in theaters, but I saw if for the first time on HBO Max on Monday. I was trying to solve the riddles, but the only two that I got before Batman were “Justice” and “he lies still.”
I absolutely love the moment where Riddler was laughing while making a joke about him to “not lose your head” was actually really in tone to how Riddler is. I love how they combined this serial killer but still has the big part of who the Riddler is, I love this movie, no one can tell me otherwise.
I just now realized that the Riddler theme is basically a scarier, more chilling of Ave Maria. Michael Giacchino is a seriously underrated music composer.
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!
This is arguably the best scene in the entire movie. If I had to compare this scene to any scene in any other DC movie. I’d heavily argue that this scene is on the same level as the interrogation scene from the dark knight.
Fun movie trivia: Peter Sarsgaard plays an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. His wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal also played an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. Gotta keep it in the family, amirite? LOL
Such an iconic & memorable scene. By far the greatest Batman movie ever, and by far the most realistic and modern one as well. If I were to rank this, it would definitely be ranked first out of all of them. Going to keep things short and simple, and not try to spoil it for anyone that hasn't watched it yet as it only came out this year but I watched this on Christmas and fully on the 26th just like every year when my brother and I pick out a movie to watch on Christmas since its always been a tradition of ours. Like this is honestly such a masterpiece, there's no flaw with it. It's the most realistic version of the actual storyline version of Batman that they were able to portray properly, realistic, and accurately. The movie literally tells us the actual story of "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline from how it began and how his legacy started out as well as grew from a very different perspective in comparison to all the other Batman movies. Like even the cast were amazing, especially Pattinson where he successfully managed to depict both Bruce as well as Batman perfectly well, same thing with the rest of the cast, like Carmine who was played so well, same thing with Catwoman especially the riddler. Even the Batman and Commissioner duo was amazing, and one to watch. Goodcop, and batcop. Such an amazing soundtrack, a perfect, realistic, modern storyline that fits in with today and isn't overreached, or unrealistic, great cast with amazing potrayls of there characters that had no flaw, great effects, and emotion. Like you would always be on edge, and on your seat thinking as well as wondering what was going to happen next. You were literally focused on the movie at all times, esepcially with the amazing detail of the storyline that they nailed, and the attention in detail. Its literally a masterpiece and such an unforgettable movie, theres honestly no flaw with it and is one of my most favorite movies that I've ever watched on Christmas with my twin brother who never fails with his picks. Truly worth it, as well as a must watch if you wish to understand it or to see for yourself. Honestly can't wait for its sequel, trilogy if there's going to be one, and the future of this Batman. It's the best version of Batman as well as the most realistic Batman yet. One that isn't over the top, overreached and is just like the rest of us - having emotion, a past etc. - 12.26.2022

I agree 100% Dano's Riddler is fantastic, i worked on my Riddler impression straight after the film lol i can do a good Joker, Bane and Riddler
From the 1st scene of Riddler standing behind the No more lies guy, i knew this was my fav Riddler
This Batman had no personality
@@adamnasir2 Then you don't understand the film! He's not Batman yet, at this stage bruce is full of anger, rage and hate, he has a lot to learn. Like he learnt at the end, he can be a symbol of hope, not fear. He's been Batman 2 years
@@BlackestEyes709 Doesn't mean that he has to have no personality at all whatsoever
@@adamnasir2 It's meant to show you he's broken tho. We'll see a change in him the 2nd one, I hope it is happening coz I love The Batman. The Batman and Joker are epic, DCEU sucks tbh. I don't think James Gunn is gonna save it either, It just needs scrapping and rebooting
The Direction, Screenplay, oof, simply AMAZING.
The funny thing is, most people probably assumed that Batman having a deep and growling voice is just a throat problem. One of the two reasons why I am happy Robert Pattinson did not got all out with the growling.
Yeah I think a Batman with a calm cold voice sounds more threatening than a Batman with a grouchy voice that is intending to sound threatening
1:54 paul dano is extraordinary. I got chills just by him singing "last riddlllee~"
It's so unnerving to watch the whole thing really, his tones actually sounds like a real life sadistic psycho .__.)
💀💀💀💀💀
the tension on this scene is surreal.The acting of Pattinson,Saarsgard and Dano is incredible.
The way Colson was so scared of giving out information really made it feel like it was hinting at Court of Owls. I don't think Falcone would put such fear of God in him alone.
Also on another note. I love how the last comment you see at 2:30 on that stream is someone actually feeling bad for Colson and asking if this is okay to watch him explode. It's hilarious.
Also could be League Of Assassins (lead by Ra's Al Ghul) as well. Of course in semi-realistic styling Ra's Al Ghul would have to be title instead of person.
@@vksasdgaming9472 League of Shadows has already been done before; The Court of Owls is a much more viable option as villains in the upcoming sequels.
@@comyxcon4gaming860 Not familiar with them. League of Assassins does not use hired associates that can be intimidated with bomb collars.
@@vksasdgaming9472Yeah, an assassin from the league would sacrifice him/herself right then ans there if the agent is compromised.
@@TheImSolid League of Assassins does not have agents in specific places. If someone captures one of their associates and puts them in bomb collar to make them talk, that associate is dead. Either bomb collar goes off or Ra's sends one of his own killers to silence him as damage control.
That scene was so intense
N!?
@@lewlz3358 yeah 😎
The system he’s talking about is probably the Court of Owls.
At the end of the movie it's just revealed that it's Falcone who owned pretty much everything. But I wonder if somehow he was under the court, guess we'll see
*Would be a great overarching antagonist, haven’t had a proper adaption of the Court of Owls yet for the live-action movies.*
@@SamC_182 you’re partially right in “Gotham” it shows Falcone and some court of owl member having a chat, and highly doubt that now since Falcone is dead, the court of owls basically rule over everything. They were created in 1600s wayyyy before Falcone and wayyyy before Batman. Which shows he was also mentioning the court of owls
Dano's voice is so musical in this movie. I love it. He's freaky and funny. Good mix for Riddler.
1:36
How much
Battinson asked calmly
My favorite part
LOL!
1:04 Lol I love how Colson looks at Batman like he just told him that he won the lottery when all he did was say “Justice”
So funny that the actor who played Colson is married to the actress who played Rachel in "The Dark Knight."
And they both blew up.
Each blew up from a Batman villain.
Rachel: Joker
Colson: Riddler
"He didn't ask that, come on!" I love that he's smart enough not to answer that.
I mean, years of being both paid and intimidated by Falcone they sure had an effect
Dano, Pattinson, and Sarsgard made this scene. Amazing acting from the trio
When he said “I’m giving you a chance…no-one ever gave me a chance” that line send chills up my spine cuz it was such a good line to give in that moment
No words to describe how sensational Paul Danos performance was. To me, just as good as Heath Ledgers joker.
So terrifying and disturbed.
1:20 - He said it guys! He said the line! 😲
Paul did a fantastic job portraying Riddler's obsession and love for puzzles and riddles.
He gets extremely excited and happy whenever the DA plays along with him, so it's very convincinf
yeahf
I mentioned, in a true crime group, about how Riddler is largely based off the Zodiac in the movie and someone mentioned how this scene might’ve been influenced by Death of Brian Wells. A pizza delivery man that was held hostage and forced to rob a bank with a collar bomb locked to his neck in 2003. Netflix did a documentary on that called, “Evil Genius”.
That was such a messed up case. He seemed like a nice guy Brian Wells
That’s how most serial killers are. Many years ago in my state there was a murderer named Craig Price. My mom said one of her cousins had him in juvenile detention, and she said what made him the scariest in the class, was that he was the nicest.
Hey buddy I’m Matt what’s going on. Happy holidays. Want to be my best friend?
Not "might've" been influenced, this scene is 100% inspired by the Brian Wells case
Paul Dano is the most underrated actor.
I think it’s time he gets a Oscar nom. Either for this or that Spielberg movie coming out later this year.
2:14 “he’s gonna kill you” gives me chills
As a Batman fan, the fact that we get so many good interpretations like Bale, Affleck and Pattinson is so cool. every single one of them did a great job in different aspects of the character.
Keaton too
“I’m giving you a chance….no one ever gave me a chance” Damn.
My head-canon for Batman somehow surviving basically a 1 inch distant explosion is the shrapnel from the explosive was directed into the DA and not outwards. From my understanding, the actual fiery explosion itself is not the super lethal part of explosions, it’s the shrapnel. The fiery bit is just a chemical reaction and lots of blast pressure but the little fragments that are expelled by the explosive’s high pressure are the real killers. Then again, that amount of energy is still not very healthy for a human body and you’d probably die unless you were a super-hero… which Batman is.
Also, Batman’s gloves are armoured so the ‘minimal’ shrapnel that had been expelled outwards was most likely blocked when he covers his face. And the blast wave was probably padded out by his armour overall.
But tbh, I am more surprised about his actual armour plating and cape being intact, more so than his face being unaffected.
Sorry, I just wanted to nerd out about Batman and alleviate plot armour confusion. If anyone has more scientific explanations please give.
I mean ..my explanation is just
he's the goddamn Batman
@@umbrellazandthangz1539 💪😁
Because it is a movie
And maybe the force of the blast pushed him back fast enough that a lot of the shrapnel didn't reach him
There are actually directional explosives that are specifically designed to focus the blast in just a direction, they are called shaped charges.
But I doubt that in the context of the scene The Riddler would have gone this far just for the sake of the punishment.
For this scene the only thing that was required from the audience is the suspention of disbelief, he was Batman, that's how he survived that without a burn.
I'll never be able to hear anyone playfully say: 'Boop!' without going into a shivering flinch.
1:41 Most Lawyer answer ever
I saw the movie in theatres, this plus the car chase scene hit different with those cinema sound effects on high volume.
This movie in IMAX was an experience
One thing I love about this scene that isn't shown in the clip is right afterwards, when you can _clearly_ see the concern on Gordon's face after the bomb's gone off.
the way batman yells "how much" is so funny like he doesnt even move his head when he says it
How did y’all not put the opening scene. That’s a damn shame
“It’s the whole system!” Literally the cherry on top.
Court?
@@navbhatthal1972basketball court?
To me Robert Pattinson was the best as Batman (while I still love Christian Bale as the Dark Knight) to me Robert was like the equivalent of Tom Holland when he played Spider-Man.
Bad, recency bias take
@@dannydevito2989 Affleck>>>>>
@@dannydevito2989 nostalgia bias take then with your logic
@@dannydevito2989 I agree and I won't say it's recency for me, the other versions range from fine to great but none of them captured the faithful core quality of Batman like Robert Pattinson's version did imo.
@@Philosophical24 So trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee except OH WAIT you didn't even watch BvS when it came out...Wanna know who did? Me. I did. And I loved it. This still a W movie though so nah not recency bias it's just a good Batman movie for fans.
Anyone else half expecting the Riddler to go "WOOOOO!" any second?
Yeah man, he sounds like Rick Flair.
This scene was actually really suspenseful and the acting of Riddler’s actor was amazingly psychotic, I haven’t seen a superhero movie in a while that had a good suspenseful scene or was good at all, this film is great
This scene was Scary, Thrilling and pure DREAD. The Atmosphere, The Acting, The Plot, THE MUSIC! And pure feeling of Hoplessness is just clear as daylight and PERFECT. It's a masterclass of not only Suspense, but Horror. Reeves treated Batman like a God and Portrayed him as what he's meant to be: A Horrorifying Entity (in the thugs perspective) and Vengeful Spirit of the night that puts genuine fear into thugs and brings justice to the streets of Gotham in an extremely Rash, violent and raw way in his early 2 years.
I couldn't take my eyes of the screen, it's that scary. It just feels so real and scary since it's a situation that literally could happen in real life. Not only that, it felt like a Batman Graphic Novel come to life, the darkness, horror elements and grittiness in this Movie is what makes it the BEST Batman movie to date, and it's not even a Horror movie, yet there are so many moments in this that make you jump as if it IS one. I cannot wait to see what Reeves has Planned for The Caped Crusader in The Batman 2.
By far a Masterclass in Cinema, Acting and Plot. This is a Masterpiece.
Who else was trying to solve the riddles in the theatre but batman beating them to it
I didn’t see it in theaters, but I saw if for the first time on HBO Max on Monday. I was trying to solve the riddles, but the only two that I got before Batman were “Justice” and “he lies still.”
I absolutely love the moment where Riddler was laughing while making a joke about him to “not lose your head” was actually really in tone to how Riddler is. I love how they combined this serial killer but still has the big part of who the Riddler is, I love this movie, no one can tell me otherwise.
I feel like we’re getting the court of owls in the next movie like he said "it’s so much bigger than you can imagine it’s the whole system".
This riddler was on point.
The moment The Riddler screams at Coulson paid a nice homage to Heath Ledger's Joker screaming "LOOK AT ME!" from The Dark Knight.
villain yelling at someone =/= automatic homage to another villain in a separate movie lol c’mon
@@madnizz1511 what-
This scene felt like it came out of Saw, straight intensity on a trap with the timer running.
Yup Saw influence
I love how the DA still thinks on his toes, 'he didnt ask me that come on' great acting!
I just now realized that the Riddler theme is basically a scarier, more chilling of Ave Maria. Michael Giacchino is a seriously underrated music composer.
the way batman solved "justice" is so epic
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!
Riddler in the arkham games: Not much of a threat.
Riddler in this movie: a HUGE threat
Jigsaw would be proud of the Riddler.
Jigsaw was sick and perverted , there is a difference between lunatic and psychotic.
This felt like a scene out of the first Saw movie.
How much?? HOW MUCH???? His voice is 10 times better than Christian bales voice
I also love how he yells, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?” Later when he’s talking to Riddler in prison.
@@RealHajimeHinata omg yeaaaa! Thats 1 of my favorite moments, screaming while riddler is singing without flinching
Bale's was mostly fine up to Rises, when it got slurry because he was constantly yelling. Probably changed up the voice to avoid vocal strain.
This is arguably the best scene in the entire movie. If I had to compare this scene to any scene in any other DC movie. I’d heavily argue that this scene is on the same level as the interrogation scene from the dark knight.
I knew this movie would be legendary when I heard Paul Dano say, “…I’ve always loved little puzzles…”
Fun movie trivia: Peter Sarsgaard plays an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. His wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal also played an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. Gotta keep it in the family, amirite? LOL
Such an iconic & memorable scene. By far the greatest Batman movie ever, and by far the most realistic and modern one as well. If I were to rank this, it would definitely be ranked first out of all of them. Going to keep things short and simple, and not try to spoil it for anyone that hasn't watched it yet as it only came out this year but I watched this on Christmas and fully on the 26th just like every year when my brother and I pick out a movie to watch on Christmas since its always been a tradition of ours. Like this is honestly such a masterpiece, there's no flaw with it. It's the most realistic version of the actual storyline version of Batman that they were able to portray properly, realistic, and accurately. The movie literally tells us the actual story of "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline from how it began and how his legacy started out as well as grew from a very different perspective in comparison to all the other Batman movies. Like even the cast were amazing, especially Pattinson where he successfully managed to depict both Bruce as well as Batman perfectly well, same thing with the rest of the cast, like Carmine who was played so well, same thing with Catwoman especially the riddler. Even the Batman and Commissioner duo was amazing, and one to watch. Goodcop, and batcop. Such an amazing soundtrack, a perfect, realistic, modern storyline that fits in with today and isn't overreached, or unrealistic, great cast with amazing potrayls of there characters that had no flaw, great effects, and emotion. Like you would always be on edge, and on your seat thinking as well as wondering what was going to happen next. You were literally focused on the movie at all times, esepcially with the amazing detail of the storyline that they nailed, and the attention in detail. Its literally a masterpiece and such an unforgettable movie, theres honestly no flaw with it and is one of my most favorite movies that I've ever watched on Christmas with my twin brother who never fails with his picks. Truly worth it, as well as a must watch if you wish to understand it or to see for yourself. Honestly can't wait for its sequel, trilogy if there's going to be one, and the future of this Batman. It's the best version of Batman as well as the most realistic Batman yet. One that isn't over the top, overreached and is just like the rest of us - having emotion, a past etc. - 12.26.2022
This is the best Batman movie imo. Also one of my favourite movies ever partly because of Pattinson and Dano!
Riddler giving me vibes of the Zodiac Killer
I love how calm Batman was during this scenario
Paul Dano killed it in this scene as I loved all of it Matt Reeves certainly knows how to pick his actors for his villains
He didmt even count down to one. He just said, "BYE!" That's was ice cold! I think even if he fully confessed, he wasn't gonna let him go.
He didn’t even count down to two either. He instead said “GOOD” before he get to “BYE”
1:28
“oh god, BRIBES”
This is my favorite riddler scene in the film, just absolutely brilliant acting by Paul Dano. I loved his take on this iconic villain
This is the second time Sarsgaard got blown up by Dano.
Probably one of the best villain roles in a Batman movie. I love this version of the riddler so much
A perfect scene in cinema history !
“In their last moments, people show you who they truly are” - Gotta hand it to him, the guy still would rather die than put his family in danger even when the Riddler starts counting down to his death.
Can't blame coleson for not telling who's the rat, he knows that his family would be in serious danger.
2:24 Court of Owl?
Yes
Exactly I think that is the answer to the people
They with ventriloquist and scarface needs to be in sequel
Laaaaaaaast... riiiiddle ♪
Man I love the way he delivered this line.
Hes basically DCs Jigsaw. love it
