I’m honestly gonna need the sequel to be just as long. One of the best theater experiences I’ve had and I’ve watched it like 3 times since at home. It’s a true movie from start to end
Definitely with you there. I watched it at an IMAX screen. Although I absolutely love this movie, I didn't fully enjoy the cinema experience though. About 10 mins in I told a rough looking guy two seats away from me to quieten down as was constantly yacking to his GF at the side of me. He didn't apologise, but I could feel an uneasiness in the air around him that he wasn't too happy about me. I spent the remaining 3 hours trying my damndest to enjoy a movie I'd been massively looking forward too, and worrying whether I was gonna be involved in some fisticuffs at the end of the movie for showing this guy up in front of his GF. Fortunately, he left at the end without issue, but it was still an uneasy watch for the wrong reasons haha Both this and TDK, should be shown in cinemas as a double bill at least once a year ad infinitum do that each passing generation know how proper films should look.
edgy emo kid's diary, so cute. When he said "they think I hide in the shadows... but I am the shadows! bwahaha" then I knew what kind of retarder movie to expect. The Batman is a bad movie, Batman doesnt shine as detective, plot is pretty weak with disconnected 3rd act with flood. It;s just a wannabe Seven/Zodiac
My favorite Batman scene from any of the movies is when vengeance dies, and Batman is symbolically reborn, almost like a baptism through the death of vengeance. It's such a powerful scene, especially with the red flare and all.
All movies? You need to broaden your horizons. Start with watching something other than standard Hollywood films. The Substance, for example, is EXTREMELY stylistic. But also has a great story, performances, effects. Did you go watch it? I’m betting not.
It's being loved more and more now ever since the release of The Penguin (which in itself is genuinely such a phenomenal show and is in contention for best show of 2024) which made people appreciate it so much more
I see "The Batman" and I click. We can joke but this for me was one of best movies i have seen in decade. Nothing topped the atmosphere, cinematography and audio of this movie. Totally didnt expect it would be that good, watched it 2 times now and gotta say it is most likely one of best Batman movies ever. I love Dark knight trilogy but man this movie is such a diamond people will respect it over next few decades. Can't wait for the sequel! Also was sad to see Matt Reeves cancelled "Arkham" TV series project. Cant wait to see whats next after Penguin.
One complaint I CAN'T get behind is that "the movie is too long." What I love about this movie so much is that there are no *open ended questions the movie missed, no weak characters the movie had, and no reality where we felt certain characters didn't get enough screen time!* If this movie was any shorter we would ALL have complaints about where it lacked. But BECAUSE they took those extra 30 minutes (which I was so happy about), there are no open ended questions left. We feel FULFILLED watching the movie! Matt Reeves wanted to tell his story, so why not LET him tell his story? We as Batman fans go to see extra scenes WITH Batman. What is there to complain about?
This is one of my favourite films of recent times, I remember seeing it in cinemas for the first time and for some reason just being in awe at the scene with the red flare. In such a gritty film the use of colour is much more impactful imo.
The scene where he rises up after beating up the first thug is amazing also the Riddler was super funny hes supposed to be creepy but I laugh so hard when he goes off
I fangirled so hard when the Batmobile shook the theatre, its sheer intensity and its menacing presence obscured in darkness just to fill that void with its raging fire was so fucking awesome.
I like the detail that you mentioned about bruce not being able to look at riddler until he realized that he didn't know that he was batman, and then he was able to look at him again. It's like all of his confidence is conjured up when he is batman but as soon as you take that away he becomes a kid. Really good take and nice video!
Agree. Nolan's Batman was my favorite until I saw "The Batman." Not just my favorite comic-book hero movie, but one of my favorite movies in general. THAT'S how good it is.
It felt like the WB animated series. The impossible was made possible. In order to ground Batman in reality, it had to be shown that Bruce is essentially Batshit crazy. Pattinson looked absolutely unhinged in the Batsuit with the dead eyes he gave in his performance.
One of the things I found interesting is the amount of times Batman asks a question throughout the movie. And the fact that he ultimately loses at the end while taking alot of damage due to his inexperience. It made me realize how much the other movies portray him as an unstoppable force that never makes mistakes. I also like how Bruce Wayne is actually the alter ego in this interpretation.
The Batman is a comic book masterpiece that captured the world of Batman perfectly. I love how tortured Robert Pattinson's Batman is. People forget that Bruce is a tortured character. The playboy billionaire thing is just an act. For the first time in live action we see the real Bruce Wayne. Also I love that Batman actually develops as a character in this movie. Usually in the movies Bruce Wayne gets all the development and Batman is just a background character. I love that Batman is front and center the entire movie. This movie is fantastic.
You're being pretty bias considering how Christian Bale did a good job of showing how much of a tortured character Bruce Wayne is in Batman Begins and how through the league of shadows he finds purpose.
@@nnnmmmable I love The Dark Knight Trilogy but I find Bale's Batman very lackluster. It's mostly the voice and fight scenes I have a problem with. Everything else is masterful.
I’m convinced it was raining all over the globe the week the Batman was released. Walking out of the Batman in the rain completely shitfaced was one of the the best evenings of my life
This comment hits me perfectly as Garfield perfectly played "my" Spider-Man, especially the bridge scene, as much as Pattinson was "my" Batman. Both actors perfectly portrayed my mental image of their respective characters!
Saw this movie in imax. When I walked into the theater, they told me that the ac is broken, 90 degrees in there, so I can get a refund if I want. Walked in and the theater was packed. Everybody was hot and sweaty but it was worth it.
Sounds terrible .. Being stuck in a hot theater watching that movie. It was painful enough and I saw it at home with my vodka and water. Movie was so boring.
@@Fiveash-Art what was boring about it? It’s the most true-to-comic adaptation we’ve ever gotten out of a live action Batman movie. What’s not to love? Maybe you’re just not a fan.

Christopher nolans the dark night, is an action crime thriller featuring batman and the joker. The batman 2022 is a Batman movie that we never knew we didn't get it until we saw it. In my opinion, the batman is the best superhero movie ever made. It can never get a sequel, and it will still be Perfect
Completely agree. My favorite superhero of all time is Daredevil. My favorite comic book cinema of all time is the Daredevil series, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Batman. Nothing will ever top them, probably. The Penguin is phenomenal though and i can't wait for The Batman Part II.
I was mocked endlessly for telling people in advance how good this was going to be. The director's work on "Let Me In" told me that this movie was going to be an incredibly visceral Batman film. People mocked me for saying Robert Pattinson was going to be a great Batman... but he had already proven himself to me MUCH more than his twilight role with films like 'Good Time', 'High Life' and 'The Lighthouse'. Great video, thanks.
16:40 is such an incredible part that i think alot of us missed and makes Carmine's final scene have even more weight and just overall impactful. Bruce being recognized with no consequences as carmine dies with his secret is just so cool
When I first saw gone girl I thought the halfway point was the end and then I checked there was an entire second half of a movie left and I was shocked when Amy did her monologue. Crazy movie. Batman is Sick 👍.
Couldn't agree less. This is a Punisher movie in disguise as a Batman movie. He is frequently the dumbest person in the room and him hitting his face at 20+mph on the underpass bridge - to have him walk away limping? The worst part: Batman *isn't* a beacon of light. That's literally his thing, so to have him make that change also really doesn't make sense for the character. He isn't dressed up to inspire good guys, he's dressed up to scare bad guys.
How is he the dumbest person in the room? He is literally the one that keeps getting the mysteries solved. He only made one fatal mistake, and that's fine since this Batman hasn't actually faced this big of a threat. "Batman isn't a beacon of light" That's literally his arc in the movie, realizing vengeance is not the way and only furthering the cycle of violence that Gotham has, and that he needs to become the symbol of hope that the people of Gotham need.
What an incredible video! If I could point out just one misconception (encouraged by the movie's own marketing), it would be calling what's left of Bruce Wayne Batman. I would call him The Vengeance, referencing the clapper board used during filming and how he sees himself(Obviously you got it buuut i think it would be a nice tweak to the text). It's only at the end of the movie that we see the character realize that he needs to be much more if he wants to have any positive impact (learning Spanish is the first step, I would say hahaha).
I didn’t expect this to be something I’d thrown on the tv often just to have something in the background. It’s blown my mind how the more you engage w this story/mystery/conspiracy, the more you’re rewarded. The attention to detail in creating this world is astounding, and reading Paul Dano’s Riddler comic as well as watching the Penguin HBO show, just enriches your appreciation for the world Reeves has created. I have zero interest in this Batman joining a wider DC movie universe; keep it in house with a tight lid, this thing is gold by itself.
This movie is a visual masterpiece. It’s my favorite comic book movie, ever. You can think the dark knight is a better movie or has a better story, but when it comes to immersion, cinematography, fight scenes, and pretty much everything about the visuals, this movie is like a hydrogen bomb while the dark knight is like a coughing baby. Gotham actually feels like Gotham. And now that the penguin is out and fucking amazing, this world is only getting better
My goodness man…. That part about falcon’s dialog matching up with his last moments!!!!’ That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say that - I was smiling ear to ear ❤
What bothers me most about the fans is that some REFUSE to give this movie credit simply because they're scared it'll be liked more than the Nolan trilogy, and that is just sad. This movie to me captures the true essence of the Batman the best. Sure the movie isn't a superhero peice like TDK, and it isn't as fantastical as the Keaton films, but this movies truly feels like the Arkham games.
Bravo for this video. The Batman is not just an amazing superhero/noire detective film, but it’s just pure beautiful cinema. Reeves & co really put their soul into not just this film, but the universe they’re building around it. Makes me even more excited we’ll probably be getting AT LEAST one trilogy.
I used to trash this movie, I thought it was vastly overrated when it came out in theaters. I was the same as you, only now I had the feeling i needed to revisit this film. It is simple not a film for theaters, it deserves a more intimate experience at the darkness of your own room, headphones on 100%. Thank you for encapsulating all of that.
The fact that batman actually gets hits from punches, weapons and guns and bullets, you feel the impact on his body and then he still keeps fighting and tanks it like a chad is what made it so great for me.
The Batman was an incredibly immersive and visually stunning movie, the most realistic I've seen in theaters. The 2D experience was better than even the 3D of Avatar: The Way of Water. Movies like The Batman, John Wick Chapter 4, and Dune Part 2 are rare because they target mature audiences and make less money compared to mainstream blockbusters. Just look at the numbers: - The Batman: $772 million (should've hit $1 billion) - Dune Part 2: $714 million (deserved $1.2+ billion) - The LOTR Experience - John Wick 4: $440 million (should've made atleast $700 million) But these movies are pulling in the big bucks: - Jurassic World Dominion: $1 billion - Doctor Strange 2: $955 million - Deadpool and Wolverine: $1.33 billion - Inside Out 2: $1.69 billion (Crazy isn't that?) - Spiderman No Way Home: $1.91 billion So, we might rarely get these amazing movies for mature audiences in the future.
Those last 5 movies you listed are all nostalgia bait movies as-well except maybe inside out 2 since idk I haven't seen it. Goes to show that a lot of people don't even want to take a chance on a great movie which is outside their comfort zone, which is funny because those first 3 movies are not exactly not mainstream either, they are just on the better side of what blockbusters should be in terms of quality.
these movies are kinda like an investment, the batman universe that will be created will bring more money in the future, flashy movies just get hyped by the monkeys and bring more money to the table but have no future value. think how much rewatchability the batman has in comparison to spiderman homecoming for example.
@@jakesully221-gr1vm Yeah, but The Batman and Dune , neither were 'great movies'. Their audience 'fans' are simply delusional. Both were nice looking movies but had nothing of substance. All style and nothing else. Pretentious boring blockbusters is all they were.
There is no such thing as literally great movie friend. A movie is a combination of arts, you cant just trash all the artists in a movie because you didnt like a specific section of it.there are people who focus on the good things the artists did in a movie and forgive mistakes, and then there are monkeys that just because the story didnt please their snowflake idea they had about it, they trash it along with every other artist who worked on it, and also it tells a lot about an individual when he spends his time hating and dooming movies he didnt like. @@Fiveash-Art
Agreed so many greats had played superhero with mask. But till date no actor had conveyed more emotions than Pattinson and even if they did, none of their performances had left such an impact of audience. Robert is one of the greats working today his career trajectory is possibly best in 10 last year's. He is a chameleon actor
The only superhero movie in recent times that has made me feel as tensed as when I watched the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox way back in 2014-15. My ass cheeks were clenched throughout the car chase sequence. Pure cinema.
I’ve watched the Batman like 10 times. And every time I enjoy it and to me it’s the best Batman movie. Yes even better than the dark knight simply because they portray a realistic Batman. The penguin series locked that in for me and I can’t what for the Batman part 2
as entertaining as _the penguin_ is, it just doesn't touch _the batman_ in cinematography... holy fuck - and the themes are much more resonant than just pure ego- / revenge-driven drama
Just started the video, and the coincidence is insane: i watched the batman when it came out, hadn’t seen it again until a few days ago, when I realized “wow I did not get this the first time around”
Michael Keaton is my Batman, for the nostalgia and I grew up on his and Tim Burton's vision. I really enjoyed Christian Bale's take on the Legend with Christopher Nolan. When I first heard that Robert was going to play Bruce/Batman I knew as an actor that he could handle it, just wasn't 100% sure about his size, but he definitely "knocked it out the park"the world building and character's is top tier and the visuals and the sounds especially the little subtle sounds. Overall awesome "year 2" Batman, where you can see that Bruce is 100% invested in being Batman more than being the playboy millionaire Bruce.... just was awesome seeing this story unfold.
I love this movie so much because of all the attention to detail on top of this already well executed concept. The Riddlers glasses were inspired by one of the first ever movie adaptations of the Riddler. The Batmobile itself was designed by render artist ashthorp, who previously worked on brutalist (vehicle) designs that perfectly fit the gotham aesthetic. It all just ties in together so well
I think the thing that made this movie was Robert Pattinsons commitment to wearing the batsuit. All the footage of Bruce Wayne we saw in the trailers truly were the only times, aside from maybe like one or two scenes, where he was actually Bruce Wayne. The majority of the time he was wearing that cape and cowl. He truly melted into that character. Even in this movie, the true identity of Bruce has always been debated on “who is the REAL mask” and I don’t think that would’ve sold if he didn’t wear the suit as much as he did.
Prince of Gotham during the day and Dark Knight during the night. Bruce Wayne “sleeps” during night while Batman “sleeps” during the day. Batman is the blanket that helps Bruce Wayne “sleep” at night.
Like your channel dude. Smart with how hard The Penguin is popping off right now that you do this one. Everything you say I agree with. They both certainly came out of a dark closet. Just like your channel. Keep it up dude!
Just rewatched it last night with a friend after we both have been enjoying The Penguin. I'm obsessed with Matt Reeve's Batman universe. It is so unbelievably good!
It’s aging very well I know it’s not perfect but it’s damn close and it’s a sleeper hit it gets better the more you watch it.The cinematography is excellent and aesthetically pleasing, the acting and the character development is genius especially Robert Pattison’s performance and the world building of Gotham is excellent. The films weaknesses are clearly studio interference but I’m sure they will let Matt Reeves cook for the sequel.

Cringe as fuck. Grow up jfc
that is true most superhero movies feel too clean, almost sterile these days
Facts.They also lacked any style.Just look at how plain and bland Spiderman NWH was.
Young hooligan batman and stupid Riddler didn't play that well.
Not just superhero movies, all movies these days have that look. No idea why modern Hollywood is so afraid of grime and texture
All movies? You need to broaden your horizons. Start with watching something other than standard Hollywood films.
The Substance, for example, is EXTREMELY stylistic. But also has a great story, performances, effects. Did you go watch it?
I’m betting not.
There either way too digital and bland (MCU) or overly edgy and dark with substance(Snyder) The Batman looks perfect
I'm glad that you change your views on The Batman.The film is a great film.It's a shame that the film is not loved more.
It doesn’t have a great pace. Films are not just about technical aspects; they’re rather a narrative medium
It's being loved more and more now ever since the release of The Penguin (which in itself is genuinely such a phenomenal show and is in contention for best show of 2024) which made people appreciate it so much more

ur editing is a masterpiece
Explored great style & substance in a video that also perfectly uses both to get the point across, bravo 👏
Your editing is why I come back to some of my favorite RUclipsrs ! This is great ! Thank you !
The writing and editing of this video is stellar bro
The Batman is one of the best films ive seen in years, it just felt very different than any big blockbuster movies we get nowadays
Couldn't agree less. This is a Punisher movie in disguise as a Batman movie. He is frequently the dumbest person in the room and him hitting his face at 20+mph on the underpass bridge - to have him walk away limping?
The worst part: Batman *isn't* a beacon of light. That's literally his thing, so to have him make that change also really doesn't make sense for the character. He isn't dressed up to inspire good guys, he's dressed up to scare bad guys.
How is he the dumbest person in the room? He is literally the one that keeps getting the mysteries solved. He only made one fatal mistake, and that's fine since this Batman hasn't actually faced this big of a threat.
"Batman isn't a beacon of light" That's literally his arc in the movie, realizing vengeance is not the way and only furthering the cycle of violence that Gotham has, and that he needs to become the symbol of hope that the people of Gotham need.
amazing work! so very funny
The editing in this video is amazing
The camera being locked off to an object or person is called a Snorricam perspective :D
I didn't know that, thank you!
What an incredible video! If I could point out just one misconception (encouraged by the movie's own marketing), it would be calling what's left of Bruce Wayne Batman. I would call him The Vengeance, referencing the clapper board used during filming and how he sees himself(Obviously you got it buuut i think it would be a nice tweak to the text). It's only at the end of the movie that we see the character realize that he needs to be much more if he wants to have any positive impact (learning Spanish is the first step, I would say hahaha).
I didn’t expect this to be something I’d thrown on the tv often just to have something in the background. It’s blown my mind how the more you engage w this story/mystery/conspiracy, the more you’re rewarded. The attention to detail in creating this world is astounding, and reading Paul Dano’s Riddler comic as well as watching the Penguin HBO show, just enriches your appreciation for the world Reeves has created. I have zero interest in this Batman joining a wider DC movie universe; keep it in house with a tight lid, this thing is gold by itself.
This movie is a visual masterpiece. It’s my favorite comic book movie, ever. You can think the dark knight is a better movie or has a better story, but when it comes to immersion, cinematography, fight scenes, and pretty much everything about the visuals, this movie is like a hydrogen bomb while the dark knight is like a coughing baby. Gotham actually feels like Gotham. And now that the penguin is out and fucking amazing, this world is only getting better
Spider-Man 2 and The Batman hit my soul in a way I can’t explain.
My all time favorite movie. So many amazing things about it. Great video. Just fantastic!
So many folks would benefit from watching a movie more than once, outside of an echo chamber.
Loved this take so much.
Top top video. Thanks!
My goodness man…. That part about falcon’s dialog matching up with his last moments!!!!’ That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say that - I was smiling ear to ear ❤
What bothers me most about the fans is that some REFUSE to give this movie credit simply because they're scared it'll be liked more than the Nolan trilogy, and that is just sad. This movie to me captures the true essence of the Batman the best. Sure the movie isn't a superhero peice like TDK, and it isn't as fantastical as the Keaton films, but this movies truly feels like the Arkham games.
Bravo for this video. The Batman is not just an amazing superhero/noire detective film, but it’s just pure beautiful cinema. Reeves & co really put their soul into not just this film, but the universe they’re building around it. Makes me even more excited we’ll probably be getting AT LEAST one trilogy.
this editing simply gets me
I used to trash this movie, I thought it was vastly overrated when it came out in theaters. I was the same as you, only now I had the feeling i needed to revisit this film. It is simple not a film for theaters, it deserves a more intimate experience at the darkness of your own room, headphones on 100%. Thank you for encapsulating all of that.
I like the little payday montage at the end there :)
this video is fantastic, incredible editing and made me laugh about 1000 times. subscribed
It’s crazy you’re channel hasn’t even been active a year and your videos are so high quality
Everything in this film was great. One of my favorite comic book films of the 2020s
The Batman deserved an oscar for cinematography. I can take any random shot from the movie and put it on my wall and it would be insanely good
You, my dude, nailed it. I tried to explain all of this to my friends, but they just didn't get it.
The fact that batman actually gets hits from punches, weapons and guns and bullets, you feel the impact on his body and then he still keeps fighting and tanks it like a chad is what made it so great for me.
Seeing this on Imax the day before release was an insane experience. This movie is so pretty, it has such great cinematography.
Watching the theatrical re release was fucking amazing
The Batman was an incredibly immersive and visually stunning movie, the most realistic I've seen in theaters. The 2D experience was better than even the 3D of Avatar: The Way of Water. Movies like The Batman, John Wick Chapter 4, and Dune Part 2 are rare because they target mature audiences and make less money compared to mainstream blockbusters.
Just look at the numbers:
- The Batman: $772 million (should've hit $1 billion)
- Dune Part 2: $714 million (deserved $1.2+ billion) - The LOTR Experience
- John Wick 4: $440 million (should've made atleast $700 million)
But these movies are pulling in the big bucks:
- Jurassic World Dominion: $1 billion
- Doctor Strange 2: $955 million
- Deadpool and Wolverine: $1.33 billion
- Inside Out 2: $1.69 billion (Crazy isn't that?)
- Spiderman No Way Home: $1.91 billion
So, we might rarely get these amazing movies for mature audiences in the future.
Those last 5 movies you listed are all nostalgia bait movies as-well except maybe inside out 2 since idk I haven't seen it. Goes to show that a lot of people don't even want to take a chance on a great movie which is outside their comfort zone, which is funny because those first 3 movies are not exactly not mainstream either, they are just on the better side of what blockbusters should be in terms of quality.
these movies are kinda like an investment, the batman universe that will be created will bring more money in the future, flashy movies just get hyped by the monkeys and bring more money to the table but have no future value. think how much rewatchability the batman has in comparison to spiderman homecoming for example.
@@gaitaseksienniaduo9465 True.This is why a movie like Spiderman NWH has alot of nostalgia fluff.But don't have any rewatchability.
@@jakesully221-gr1vm Yeah, but The Batman and Dune , neither were 'great movies'. Their audience 'fans' are simply delusional. Both were nice looking movies but had nothing of substance. All style and nothing else. Pretentious boring blockbusters is all they were.
There is no such thing as literally great movie friend. A movie is a combination of arts, you cant just trash all the artists in a movie because you didnt like a specific section of it.there are people who focus on the good things the artists did in a movie and forgive mistakes, and then there are monkeys that just because the story didnt please their snowflake idea they had about it, they trash it along with every other artist who worked on it, and also it tells a lot about an individual when he spends his time hating and dooming movies he didnt like. @@Fiveash-Art
Great editing, really funny. Loved the Caravan at 7:09
3:07 Sopranos Soundtrack!!!!
This was a great breakdown and very good analysis
This was really well done! Good job! Also love the little tlou music to emphasize your point about the cycle of hatred
Agreed so many greats had played superhero with mask.
But till date no actor had conveyed more emotions than Pattinson and even if they did, none of their performances had left such an impact of audience.
Robert is one of the greats working today his career trajectory is possibly best in 10 last year's. He is a chameleon actor
Your punchlines and puns are gold 🤣 had to rewind so many times during the video 🤣
The only superhero movie in recent times that has made me feel as tensed as when I watched the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox way back in 2014-15. My ass cheeks were clenched throughout the car chase sequence. Pure cinema.
5:35 that cut had me dying
Gets better with every viewing; and now The Penguin show. This Saga is gonna be incredible.
One of the best reviews bro, good analysis & energy 💯
phenomenal vid!
I’ve watched the Batman like 10 times. And every time I enjoy it and to me it’s the best Batman movie. Yes even better than the dark knight simply because they portray a realistic Batman. The penguin series locked that in for me and I can’t what for the Batman part 2
as entertaining as _the penguin_ is, it just doesn't touch _the batman_ in cinematography... holy fuck - and the themes are much more resonant than just pure ego- / revenge-driven drama
Just started the video, and the coincidence is insane: i watched the batman when it came out, hadn’t seen it again until a few days ago, when I realized “wow I did not get this the first time around”
This is the best looking film of the 2020s so far , fucking eye candy.
Michael Keaton is my Batman, for the nostalgia and I grew up on his and Tim Burton's vision. I really enjoyed Christian Bale's take on the Legend with Christopher Nolan. When I first heard that Robert was going to play Bruce/Batman I knew as an actor that he could handle it, just wasn't 100% sure about his size, but he definitely "knocked it out the park"the world building and character's is top tier and the visuals and the sounds especially the little subtle sounds. Overall awesome "year 2" Batman, where you can see that Bruce is 100% invested in being Batman more than being the playboy millionaire Bruce.... just was awesome seeing this story unfold.
I love this movie so much because of all the attention to detail on top of this already well executed concept.
The Riddlers glasses were inspired by one of the first ever movie adaptations of the Riddler. The Batmobile itself was designed by render artist ashthorp, who previously worked on brutalist (vehicle) designs that perfectly fit the gotham aesthetic. It all just ties in together so well
yo solid video. I love this movie just as much as you do
I think the thing that made this movie was Robert Pattinsons commitment to wearing the batsuit. All the footage of Bruce Wayne we saw in the trailers truly were the only times, aside from maybe like one or two scenes, where he was actually Bruce Wayne. The majority of the time he was wearing that cape and cowl. He truly melted into that character. Even in this movie, the true identity of Bruce has always been debated on “who is the REAL mask” and I don’t think that would’ve sold if he didn’t wear the suit as much as he did.
Prince of Gotham during the day and Dark Knight during the night. Bruce Wayne “sleeps” during night while Batman “sleeps” during the day. Batman is the blanket that helps Bruce Wayne “sleep” at night.
@@petermj1098 also if I had a suit that cool I’d probably wear it all the time too
Like your channel dude. Smart with how hard The Penguin is popping off right now that you do this one.
Everything you say I agree with. They both certainly came out of a dark closet. Just like your channel. Keep it up dude!
This is equal parts video essay and advanced shitposting. I love it
props on the edit
Holy shit that edit at the end just got you my subscription
I really do think it’s worth the praise it’s getting. It is, at the least, the greatest Batman movie ever made in my opinion.
Just rewatched it last night with a friend after we both have been enjoying The Penguin. I'm obsessed with Matt Reeve's Batman universe. It is so unbelievably good!
Great vid about a great movie and I love your presentation style. Subbed!
It’s aging very well I know it’s not perfect but it’s damn close and it’s a sleeper hit it gets better the more you watch it.The cinematography is excellent and aesthetically pleasing, the acting and the character development is genius especially Robert Pattison’s performance and the world building of Gotham is excellent.
The films weaknesses are clearly studio interference but I’m sure they will let Matt Reeves cook for the sequel.
