i just looked at the sub count wtf i deadass thought this was one of those 2mil film critics but this is even better well done
thank you man I appreciate it a lot we’ll reach that number one day with many more videos to come soon!
Same dude i was like this ain't right really surprised that this was in my recommended great job dude
@@CharlieRUclipsr dude your video was amazing. This is THE best video essay I have seen on the Batman 😮
@@dylanverstraete5323 thank you brother that means a lot 🙏
yes, even the narration is proper, very well done, sir. Charlie. keep these up, this is my first of your videos, but would love see more.
The opening to the batman was so much better in the theater my first viewing
Seeing the reflection of the TV in riddlers glasses and nothing more was far more terrifying to me
The opening is so iconic easily one of the best comic book movie scenes of all time!
The appeal for Batman to me is that he is the peak of human determination and strength without needing any supernatural powers to get the job done and is unyielding in refusing to kill criminals, even the Joker who more than deserves it.
Also, in Batman Beyond, he still feels like a badass even as an old man, but still feels very human.
The ending part where Batman realizes that the people need hope, not vengeance. That is what really elevated this movie.
A very compelling aspect indeed.
Lol, the ending was crap.
@@NostalgiNorden 🤓
@@NostalgiNordennice, so you want the same old ass, predictable, edgelord Batman we have had too many times in the past?
I really liked the evolution of Batman from vengeance to hope. It was literally perfect! The movie in general was a masterpiece.
me too I agree! The Batman was a masterpiece.
@@CharlieRUclipsr What villains are you hoping to see in the series? I'd like Mr. Freeze, Clayface and Manbat with the Court of Owls as the overarching villains
@@bwestacado9643 Mr Freeze and Hush would be interesting!
@@CharlieRUclipsr Ooo I didn't think about Husk, but that would play in nicely to the detective aspect of the films. Also, Professor Pyg would make a really cool twisted serial killer to deal with. I'd love for them to lean heavier into the dark and evil of Batman, make a Batman meets Seven
One of the best, most fair, and honest reviews I've seen of my favorite film.
I’m glad you liked it!
The best Batman movie... It feels like the movie moving on his own genre, from action superhero into a riddle-horror movie. I can remember clearly every plot of the movie, unlike those superheroes movie which targeting kindergarten.
One thing I love about this movie is its so visceral. There's no hyper choreographed finesse hand to hand combat, the first fight scene we see is him walk up with loud ass military boots and just beat the ever loving crap out of some goons. It's all real physical violence that you would expect from a street fight. Everything in this movie feels so "heavy" but in a good way
RIP Kevin Conroy.
we lost a legend :(
Future RUclips goat! - The Batman was a great movie.
Is that the best damn BLEACH content creator on here!? 👑🤝
Oh my god big fan‼️💯🗣️
Dude couldnt agree more always been an avid Batman reader this is a perfect live action adaptation if u ask me,i hope we get to see more.great vid new sub.
Honestly, the flare in the flooded building is the best scene in any superhero movie ever.
Only a few minutes in, but you have great intellectualism and understanding it seems. Subbing for more of your style most deff!
Hope you enjoy the rest of the video!
You nailed all the nails on the head with this masterpiece of a Batman flick. I couldn’t pinpoint why I loved it as much as I do to a T, but watching your video, these were all the things I was thinking but couldn’t put to words. I know not a lot of people will look at the film in this deeper way, and maybe that’s why those group of watchers didn’t enjoy it, but they can’t deny that this take on the Caped Crusader felt different than anything we’ve seen previous! Well done, man
I appreciate your kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He's better than the director that made that boaring, pointless piece of poop
This is a really good video! I'm only halfway through it and I'm really enjoying what you did here. I realize that this is the first video but if I had one critique it would be just to slow down a little bit on your exposition. It feels a little bit like you're reading a book report. So put a little bit more emotion into the reading of your script but that's just what I hear. I should definitely feel like we're talking to a friend as opposed to being lectured. Anyway, you got a sub from me!
Honest feedback is what I like to hear most! I will definitely build upon this on my next videos to come.
For a first video, this is ridiculously high quality
(Yes, I looked to see if you had more to watch)
(Yes, I will watch more)
(please make more)
thank you I appreciate it a lot and there is much more to come very soon!
This movie holds a special place in my heart.
Mee too
Jeeeez a Charlie upload? 😳I actually rewatched the batman recently and loved it even more than when I watched it in the cinemas. Good vid bro, your editing was pretty solid too for the fact its your first upload, keep it up man.
yeah i enjoyed it more on rewatch and appreciate the love homie 💜
Wow, you need more subscribers, this was amazing! keep up the great work!
thanks man much more to come soon!
Did you just wake up and be like, "I'm gonna RUclips now" and then just knock it out of the fucking park first try? New sub right here.
Something like that ahahaha but in all honesty it was a long process and the decision to pursue RUclips was something that I and many of my personal close friends have talked about in-depth for a while all it took for me was initiative! As for the video I really did think there was so much to praise that people didn’t touch upon that I noticed when regarding the positives of this movie.
Absolutely man, you've got a knack for it. I've never hear the take on the monolog in the beginning vs the one in the climax being in the light of day, that was dope. Keep it up my man 👌
This was a well written film critic with a proper structure, good pacing and talking about basically anything the movie present to us. Good job man continue like this. You have my support and my follow!
Appreciate the love ❤️ Much more to come soon!
I usually dont subscribe to these Essay channels but 350 is way too few followers for a channel of this quality, so I had to do it. Amazing video and amazing writing man
maybe this is just me as a non-native speaker but you talk veryy fast and it can be hard to process your points because you are immediately at the next one so I wouldnt mind if you were speaking a little slower:) I do understand if you dont want to put out 60min videos because of that tho :D
I appreciate it so much and there’s many more videos soon to come so hopefully it gets a little higher than 350! As for the feedback I did notice myself that the pacing of how fast I was getting from point to point was definitely something that could have been worked on a lot better and honestly the audio was the biggest hurdle for me on my first video but will definitely be fixed up on the next ones to come!
I think Pattinson did a phenomenal job on his take off year 2 Batman. Capable, but still working out the practice of being a superhero.
Also the soundtrack was phenomenal
the soundtrack was incredible and very fitting!
@@CharlieRUclipsr indeed
The Batman movie made feel I can trust Matt reeves it has potential to be amazing trilogy it's my opinion it's more than ok it's clearly a passion project for Matt he put more thought to it than everyone else did and sticking to the source material more
He definitely showed he is more than capable of running things for the character of Batman and you're right this does have massive potential to be an incredible trilogy!
Great video! One critique I have though is about how fast you speak, personally I found it hard to follow you but none the less a great video. Also what’s the background music?
Honest feedback is always taken seriously so I do appreciate it and will definitely work upon it on the next video! As for the background music - nothing can be explained slowed and reverb to perfection
I watched this damn movie in theaters no less than 8 times. God I can't wait for the sequel.
Me too
Great video, keep it up and you’ll gain subscribers very fast. You were the top of my recommended.
Make sure to stick around so much more to come soon!
Mate, great video! Could I just suggest some transitions and title cards. Would make it a lot easier to follow what you're talking about. But seriously this analysis is amazing.
Appreciate the response and the feedback 🙏🏻 and of course all suggestions and criticisms are welcomed.
Common Charlie W
ERAAAAAAAA
This was such a great video!!Earned a sub! (quick note 9:07 it's not the same character, the first man we encounter is thought to be Joe Chill as he recognizes Bruce despite Bruce at this point not being a public persona, and as soon as he hears his name his face drops, immediately retreating into the shadows like the monster he created, he's labeled as a bitter nobody in the credits, and Bronson Webb played the Riddler goon, he was also previously in The Dark Knight) God I sound pretentious sorry if it comes off that way, but when you get an understanding of who that character is it adds so many more elements into the story which is why I wanted you to know!
That would be really interesting and more layered if it is actually Joe Chill!
Nice vid but u need to slow it waaaaay down when reading your script🤨
I’ll pace myself much better in the next video appreciate the honest feedback!
This and the long Halloween animated film are two of the best batman anything I've ever seen, I loved Affleck's take (even the killing since that was the whole point of his storyline), but Pattinson really did something special with the role and I'm excited to see where the spinoff show and next films takes this version of the character.
Bro I love the long Halloween animated movie. My god!!! I’ve seen it like 4 times. It was that movie that made me love Harvey Dent so much that’s he’s my number 1 batman villain. The batman is my fav movie ever as a batman comic reader. Have u read batman: black mirror? It’s soo good it follows dick Grayson as batman.
Keep it up dude. This is great especially for a first video. You’ve got a lot of potential.
I appreciate it so much thank you and yeah we aiming for the sky!!
This was a great video. One piece of advice I’d like to give you is to slow down a little bit. It sounds like you’re reading from a script a lot of the time and it can be hard to understand what you’ve said when you’re just speeding through it and not enunciating much.
Keep up the great work!
First video jitters but appreciate the feedback nonetheless! It definitely was the biggest issue with this video and is something I’m trying to actively work on with each video I make.
Who is the real Batman in this boring movie? A riddle for the Riddler!
You're 13 years old? That's understandable.
This movie is SO GOOD HOLY FK
I'm liking your breakdown of the movie, but as a professional video editor, I really only have one note - slow down. I understand the feeling you have to get so many various points across to your audience, but read through them a few times and get a feel for what isn't really needed and let your script breathe a bit.
I'm subscribing because I'm pretty sure you have a lot to offer in film analysis. I can't wait to see how you grow in this endeavor. Plus, you have a natural flow to your video editing. It doesn't feel like you're just showing as many scenes from the movie that you're allowed to. They fit really well with the themes you're presenting.
Constructive criticism is always something I look for to improve on whatever I pursue so I really do appreciate the honest feedback! The audio was for sure the toughest hurdle for me but will be something that’ll be fixed on in the next videos to come and I also appreciate the compliments to my work I really do try my hardest!
@@CharlieRUclipsr It's the writing that I always have the toughest time with and you definitely have a leg up in that regard. Enjoy every bit of praise you're receiving. It's well deserved.
I really wish I could feel this way about this film, but it’s just fine. Last hour really blows it IMO, gets bogged down in unnecessary shit and the riddler final plan/reveal is truly underwhelming
I love Batman movies to
I am very big fan of the
Batman Trilogy Saga.
I had no faith in Robert Pattinson as Batman, but after seeing the film...he may just end up being my favorite live action interpretation. I grew up watching Michael Keaton and Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors all-time, but Pattinson did an outstanding job with this iteration. I love The Long Halloween too. I'm hoping we get Mr. Freeze, Manbat, Clayface, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow in this series. The tone is right for these darker characters. Especially if it's these villains, with the Court of Owls in the background
Subbed lol w death note comparison
1:45 Your reaction to the mispronunciation has earned you a subscriber lolol "We move." lololol
some of these names be too hard to pronounce 😂
The Batman isn’t the only thing that works...your breakdown/review of the film works perfectly as well
I immediately subscribed to the channel, really good work on this video!! This is the highest quality I’ve seen in the film RUclipsr scene
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words so much they fuel me to even be better and make more. I really do try my best to make it as good as I can! There’s plenty lined up this is only the beginning.
Loved the video, good writing here
I do feel the struggle you might’ve had when recording and editing here though, since you read this video INCREDIBLY fast- but it was either that or have this thing run for 50-60 minutes.
I did see room for maybe a 2-3 part video series with the different overall themes you touch on but as a small creator it probably does you a lot better to have it all in one video…
Condensing the script probably wouldve been the best bet here, might have to omit some details like scene/character descriptions every now and then, especially if you’ve already talked about them, but I think you could probably just put in a video clip of the thing you’re omitting
Good video overall
this video was sick. really loved how you went into each individual aspect. looking forward to see where you go from here
Much more to come and appreciate the support I’m glad you liked it!
Great first video, I can't wait to see where then channel goes.
thank you so much currently cooking up new videos plenty more to come!
congratulations on 775 subs my friend
holy shit i thought this was a big name critic. i didnt even look into or at it until like the end of the vid. fucking phenomenal work
Thank you 🙏 so much more to come!
damn u deserve more subs for this, awesome
damn this is really well made
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very good video! Definitely need to slow down and enunciate more tho
appreciate the support and honest feedback will definitely fix upon these issues in the next videos to come!
Np man! And it doesnt have to be like a HUGE change just like little by little
It just ..does!
This is The Batman...
Batman is not a Joke in this nor is he portrayed as impervious.
This works because it portrays Batman as he was in many of the early comics from the 40s.
Originally, the Police of Gotham did not know what to make of Batman.
Was he good, bad...a misguided vigilante?
The dark knight was as much of an anti hero as a crime fighting " super hero"
The Batman captures his " dark side" and does not portray him as an overgrown boy scout!
Superman is a " goody goody"
Batman is dark and gritty!
He's also a master detective.
Batman almost Always works with the police of Gotham....
In This film, He doesn't Need them to do his work!
It's just a Great movie!!
👍💪👏😆🦇
Best batman movie EVER and i hste almost all of the newer movies bring made and not judt superheto movies this should have won an ward in all honesty especially with the realism and lack of CGI
The Batman was a completely original take on the character. Unlike previous incarnations, where film makers tried to top the previous films with the best design, this film is unique in that it has opted for the WORST version of the character with crap design. Instead of having the best Batmobile, they've decided to design the lamest Batmobile of all time. Instead of a Batsuit that is faithful to the comic, while still improving on it for the big screen, we get a totally garbage looking Batsuit. Also worst music, worst Penguin, worst gadgets, worst bat logo, etc.
I really appreciate that they didn't just go for the whole "let's make a good movie" thing, and instead sought out to make a movie that sucks. I applaud not just kowtowing to the status quo, where the status quo is attempting to make a good Batman movie, and instead went against the grain and the previous trend of good Batman movies, to create something truly awful. Kudos Mr. Reeves.
LOL. Funny and true
What a well spoken lad
this is an excellent review wow. just amazing esp for the sub count dude. congratulations and i can’t wait to see more from you! this was so in depth you have talent.
if u want critiques on how to improve (otherwise ignore this),
text titles to cut the video up into sections really help me, i think most people enjoy them as well. and then pausing more between sections, letting the music come in a bit, and then the title over a rainy shot of gotham. cut the music out, screen to black, start a new background track, and begin your next narration. that’s just a common technique i’ve seen that would have helped me keep track better. if that’s not helpful again ignore this
really stunning video! thanks for sharing
thank you so much and there’s plenty more to come! I appreciate the criticism as well I always take note of honest feedback.
You forgot to add "doesn't" to the title.
i love this movie and you've examined it beautifully. love the vid man🦇
Appreciate the love man 🙏🏻
Saw this video go from 1.9k views to 36k views, congrats!
Real ones know abt that Bleach ost. How you finding TYBW?
Great work and keep riding that algorithm brother!
Appreciate the love and yeah the jump was wild certainly took me by surprise and nothing can be explained fit so well with the video so had to go with that GOATed track. As for the TYBW arc I’m really enjoying it so far with only very little problems with some music placement choices, some of the designs at time and the CGI but overall really enjoying it especially episode 6 hope it only gets better and better. I plan to make Bleach content one day I really love the series!
@@CharlieRUclipsr Bleach's osts do NOT miss. TYBW is honestly peak animation and episode 6 was the best episode of anime I think I've ever watched. They are just spoiling us man. We even got revealed to the OG gotei 13 and their character designs. I'm really excited for Kenpachi vs *spoiler* in the coming episodes.
I'll will definitely be watching your future bleach content, and I plan to make Bleach content too one day. Cheers, and I wish you all the success in the future!
@@d1m5um you too! I’ll definitely subscribe to see your content shine and watch you grow so keep it up no matter what!
yep, you earned a sub. you hit every theme
Yeah, I love this movie so much. Don’t get me wrong. I also love Ben Affleck and his version of Batman but we never got to really see him in a Batman movie. I guess one of the things I really love about this movie is where we are in Batman‘s story. I was so glad it wasn’t an origin story. I really don’t think we need another Batman origins story anytime soon. my mother is 66 years old and never read a comic book in her life and she knows the Batman origins story but I am glad that it was a story that was early in his career.
In Batman begins we kind of see one time where Batman doesn’t have a grasp on a situation when he’s dealing with scarecrow but after that, he’s kind of on top of things and doesn’t make too many mistakes. This Batman, who is on his second year of being Batman is in a situation where it’s the first time he’s dealing with a citywide crisis . You can tell her up to this point she’s been stop being robbers and rapist and drug dealers and he’s been beating the crap out of them but he’s never had to save the city before and it shows sometimes that you can tell this is the first time he’s been in these kinds of situations.
He doesn’t have powers and yes, he does need to learn how to be a better Batman that’s by design. The Ben Affleck, Batman is pretty much Batman in his prime, he’s been Batman for 20 years and that’s why he is able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Superman, and wonder woman, even though he doesn’t have any powers, because the one thing that version of Batman has that this one doesn’t is experience . Like when he’s running away from the police is on top of the building, you can tell he’s never had to jump off a building before in an emergency situation and he’s kind of just winging it and hope it works because that’s what would really happen if a person was really trying to be Batman.
But the story and the feel, and the dialogue of this movie, I’m just in Gotham city and I’m on the edge of my seat the whole time. I don’t know if it’s better than the dark Knight, I’ve watched both movies in the same day before and it’s like comparing apples and oranges for me. I do know this, it is definitely the best live action movie. We have got that features, Batman in it since the dark night.
Stop rushing bro just be yourself 🙌
Great analysis! Love these kinda videos on this film.
Appreciate the love! Much more coming soon..
When I first watched the movie, I was like "Ok. Cool Batman movie." And I kinda just moved on. But it was just recently when I realized how much of a masterpiece it is after rewatching it, and it's videos like these that put all my love for it into words. Great video! Keep up the good work!
I definitely enjoyed it more on rewatch and yes more videos to come soon!
i'd say you were right in your original thought, but that wasn't right either.

Thanks for the sub!
Really good video. You deserve way more subs, keep up the good work!

Yes!
Your channel for sure gonna blow up and I'm here for it
Really great essay!
BROTHER THIS IS DOPE
Appreciate the love ❤️ 🙏
the message of the video is conveyed well but the videos pacing and structure could be better, this feels like a longer video than it is
Very much appreciate honest criticism it’s the first thing I look for - and yes I do agree the pacing was a bit fast at times but I pin that on it being my first time recording ever. Love for watching the full video 🫡
This video sounds like a running sentence. Mans speedrunning the script he wrote and forgot the rest of us haven't read or heard it 10 times. Otherwise good stuff, man!
This is cinema
peak cinema
This video is awesome great job man
Thank You more to come soon❤
Wow, 100th subscriber.
I really liked the video and like the other comment said. Really felt like a 2 million subscriber account
great video mate
great, essy but please slow down..
I’m so excited to see where they take the next films. Kinda bummed about the joker tease if I’m being honest, I’m kind of joker’ed out. Especially given the multitude of amazing villains Batman has had over the decades that we’ve yet to see nailed on the big screen.
I don’t think he should have been shown in this movie I agree, it took me off guard. But I do think there’s great potential with this version of the Joker we’ll just have to wait and see.
Answer: It doesn't - THE END
The movie was alright. Nowadays every moviemaker wants to make a 3 hour movie. Batman could have been a 2 hour movie and would be a great movie. There are scenes that are unnessecary long. Like the scene where batman gets in his car and powering up while catwoman and penquin watch him. That is just absurd.
Good shit 🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good luck man, blew up enough to find me and it’ll just reach further!
that’s the plan!
I love loved how he said Justice is really brought to the Character
What’s the background music’s name.?

Appreciate the criticism will definitely do so in all the new videos to come!
Real stakes?? He walks through a hallway of open gun fire and just tanks it all as he beats men, what stakes??
They treated Batman like Superman
This video made me realize I never analyzed Bruce Wayne and The Batman as two separate Characters
Michael JiyaNacho!
Note... The actor's surname is Pat-TIN-son. The composer's name is pronounced Michael "Juh-KEE-no." Kisses.
Name pronunciation my biggest weakness fr!
Batman...For Grown Ups
Keaton's Batman is more for " kiddos"
Except Batman Returns... that's dark and creepy and cool!
Just because you say something doesn't make it a fact. You need to provide evidence. This is a pretty poor review
IMPOSSIBLE TO LISTEN TO! Reading script at ridiculously fast pace.
Banger content
The narrator needs to slow down a little. .......
I'm sorry to say to me this is one of the worst Batman movies ever. They tried to show you Batman detective skills but didn't do a good job, custom designs was horrible, and action scenes was so support but they keep hiding it with old this Batman starting off. How many times they going to use that excuse?
bro you're talking too fast, great work on the essay but this was hard to listen to.
yeah I’ll make sure it’s better in the next one i always appreciate honest criticism
