The opening scene where Bruce has his monologue, the music blasting, criminals fearing the shadow of the unknown, and then hearing Batman’s heavy footsteps walking, was a masterful scene. Really shows the essence of Batman in this movie.
Gotta love how Matt Reeves went with "criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot" direction. Like he's projecting that Batman is really some otherwordly thing out to get criminals
I went to see The Batman in cinemas with my moms bf who is a big fan of Batman and the comics, and we both loved it. The acting, the fights, the atmosphere, the characters and music. Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and definitely one of the best Batman movies. 🖤

fun fact: around ~30min into the film, you can see the riddler in his apartment peeping into the iceberg lounge (before his location is made obvious later in the film). one of the most terrifying portrayals of a villain imo.
Yeah a lot of people made fun of this that a detective and world's greatest detective Batman couldn't figure out this location the moment they saw those pictures.
@@mirzaammar3815 Batman's very young and is definitely not the world's greatest detective yet but he'll get there eventually. He also was in a dilemma where he thinks those cops had it coming in a way so his motivation to catch Riddler wasn't as high as it should have been i.e gave Riddler way too much credit and ended up getting played by him most of the movie but he'll grow from this and become better in the next movie
@@mirzaammar3815 to be fair he isnt the worlds greatest yet. He was also scared of heights, doesnt use stealth, gets shot a lot, cant stick the landing etc
One of the best things about this film is the room it leaves for potential growth for both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not to mention his armament and seeing how his suit, Batmobile and collection of gadgets might evolve for the next film.
@@thehelldragon314 I'm a MCU fan, and i loved this movie, was driving my GF nuts for like a week after watching. Some people are just idiots like this guy.
@@xGuardianAngelx Maybe ... But I'm not claiming my life to be a 'masterpiece'. You programmed automatons all seem to love copying and pasting that because you can't think for yourself. There is no depth to the 'narrative', It's a mess ... an extremely plodding, boring mess with 'concepts' that beat the viewer over the head. It's pretentious as hell. People who think this movie is great are mostly zoomers and adolescents who think they're getting something deep, brooding and edgy. A "Batman" movie to call their own. All this director was doing was ripping off David Fincher while riding the coattails of Nolan's better movies. It's a shame because I thought his Planet of the Apes movies were a good time.... Your little snipe about my life having no depth. I'm sure you're just another one of those edge lord kids who believe themselves to be 'film connoisseurs' because you liked this bad superhero movie. I'm pretty sure you've probably done nothing with your life either ... at least not yet. When you do, get back to me about your 'great accomplishments' ... I'm sure when you grow up, you still be sitting around watching bad movies. 😂 Are you one of those people who upload video game playtime on your page?... I bet you are. Seems it's people who do that , who always run around getting offended when people don't like the same garbage they do. I don't know what that is .. they always have video game footage on their page. 😂
26:07 Gordon’s trying to act like he’s pissed at Batman in front of the cops so that it “justifies” Batman punching him later. Gordon is trying to help him but also trying to stay on the cops good side because Batman did screw up, but Gordon still believe him
Bats didn’t screw up. Dude would’ve gotten off Scott free most likely if he’d given up the name. And if riddler killed him anyway, then that was inevitable. Batman or no Batman.
@@hmonsalve74 He wouldn't have gotten off Scott-free. He said that if he gave up the name of the rat, the rat would've had him and his family killed, and that is FAR from Scott-free. But with Riddler's bomb around his neck, he knew he was dead one way or another (either keep his mouth shut and have Riddler blow him up or give up the name and the rat would kill him) so he kept his mouth shut and let the bomb go off to protect his family. The cops were pissed at Batman because they wanted to defuse the bomb with their robot. Batman did his best to save the guy, but as far as they're concerned, he interfered in police business and someone died as a result. And given their hostility toward him, they're likely quite fed up with a masked vigilante getting involved in police matters (and the corrupt ones probably don't want Batman uncovering their corruption either).
The fact that this movie rakes place from October 31st-Novermber 6th making it 7 days is probably the coolest nod to the movie "seven" ever. I always knew the movie had elements from seven but having the movie take place over 7 days is so cool.
I think you missed the point of the "I'm Vengeance" line, it's supposed to show how Batman inspired people the wrong way. Instead of people seeking Justice for the people of Gotham, they're instead acting on Vengeance, a selfish act. That's why he stuck around to help the survivors, because he wants to change his image to a protector, not a vindicator
49:40 I think that the “Ave Maria” taunt it is a little funny. He knows he is pissing Bruce off, which is why some people may either choose Bruce’s anger, or the Riddlers witty taunt (behind a bulletproof glass)
26:05 he's doing these facial expressions to mask what he's talking about with Batman... he's trying to appear aggressive, so that the punch seems more believable
I feel like people don't appreciate that this movie fully shows the "world's greatest detective" aspect of Batman's character. I love that you enjoyed that aspect of the movie
I mean, it really doesn't. It tries too. The most detective thing he does really is break a cypher and follow a trail. There's nothing particularly smart about the detective aspect of him as a whole in this film.
@@DDuMas I do appreciate that there was some detective stuff, like him reviewing footage, studying stuff and whatnot. I can agree that he wasn't the best at it but I think that's partially because this is still a newbie batman.
People say that the Batman is “boring”, I’d say that they’re too used to expecting MCU type superhero movies. Batman always started off as a noir character in the comics, so I’d say going back into the roots is really nice and a great change of pace
40:49 Frankly, the problem is that no individual act of revenge is going to really make a difference. And--Bruce Wayne is trying to save Selina, not Falcone.
I loved this film, the way they showed the more Noir/ detective side of Batman makes this film!! Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattinson's chemistry as Batman/ Selina is flawless!!
I really like this film pattinson did a great job tbf. I like that he’s only been Batman for two years and he’s still angry and not pulling his punches. He’s the worlds greatest detective and Alfred is an amazing actor Bruce is his new precious lol
sometimes u gotta sacrifice these first reactions for the theater experience because comic book movies in the cinemas just hit different fr. When that batmobile engine started roaring, the surround sound from the theater was amazing
Most of these reactors doesn’t care about the movie experience, they care about they money and views they would get with uploading these videos. I follow some reactors that doesn’t care about the views and money and they do go to the theaters and then give a review, but most of the reactors only care about the money. For example; Brandon Likes Movies, Omn1Media, GETJaby, Holden Hardman, MovieFusion, etc, they saw NWH and The Batman in theaters. But then you have these other reactors that waited for NWH and The Batman to release on digital to make money. I have a 4k tv and a good soundbar, so if I don’t watch a movie in theaters because I wasn’t sure I still get a good experience but these reactors has 1080p monitors, a lot of lights in their rooms, etc, I can’t see myself enjoying a movie like The Batman with how they watch it (and talking a lot for the video). I saw it on IMAX and this was one of the best comic book movies experience that I had, my fourth favorite superhero movie. 🔥
@@reynaldolorenzo8409 so all of this begs the question why the fuck are you here right now?! go watch a video you enjoy!? I don't understand why you would spend one goddamn second watching videos you don't wanna watch and then whining about it in the comment section. I guarantee that your opinion is worth thousands of times less than you think it is.
I watched this in the cinema with my sister (We're both pattinson fans) and we love every second of it. The introduction to Batman. The car chase, Zoe Kravitz. And the more i watch it, the more i appreciate it. You know how much you love Batman and Rob Pat so this reaction did not disappoint
So here’s something I keep noticing- Batman being a detective and peeping in on Selina= creepy. Edward Cullen (a 100 year old man) watching an underage girl sleep for a month without her knowledge = romantic. I don’t understand true romance I guess.
@@thegamingknight2096 Ehh nope. Batman is doing his job, which is doing Detective work. He's on a stake out. To see where Selina leads him to. Batman does this a lot, so don't know why it's a big deal. 🤔
True Romance as in with Clarence & Alabama? Just watch it again good Jim sir. As per this case, there is a different reason for the peeping in both cases... I was initially about to say 1 is for work other is for pleasure but that would be a lie, Bruce Wayne pleasure AND curse is to be Batman... Batmanning will lead to peeping, a lot. I have worked as private eye before, it's 80% peeping 20% actual talking to people/action. Studying people and their habits/flaws is the bread and butter of detective work. Watch and learn they said... Only confront when enough has been accumulated. In most movies (not specifically Batman), we only see the 20% of that work, the fun part. A bit of the other but they fastrack it so much it is ridiculous. Exemple: They follow a dude to place X and make a bust the same night or weekend. Just following a dude and ensuring the spot is the right one may take a long while. That's the realistic boring part we don't have here.... Batman being the world's greatest detective also makes him the world's richest, weirdest, most serious and least interested in your romantic life peeping tom ever.
I watched this movie two weeks ago with my parents in the cinema. My dad (who’s 60) loved the movie. He usually falls asleep watching movies but he was son invested he watched all three hours without closing his eyes.
Now with the sequel being announced, I really hope they introduce more villains that hadn't appeared on film for years, the way they did for Riddler and Penguin. I really wish they seize this opportunity to bring back the "loving husband who's origin and motivations shatters our hearts"-Mr Freeze
When I saw this in theaters hearing the footsteps that was a really cool touch because it felt like he was actually the shadows and then when he emerged it felt like the Arkham games were he wasn't perfect at countering but when he got the combat down he could pretty much take down a group of bad guys
Hear me out: The Batman 2 will be even better than this one! Reason: This is the first movie whit Matt Reeves Vision in it, the actors now did a movie and know how to do another one. The cinematography will be better (I guess), the score was and will be great as well, the Story was so well written and everything has led up to a great sequel. The Batman 2 will break even better for sure.
The Batman is easily one of the best Batman films after Mask of the Phantasm I think Robert Pattinson is the best Batman because he gave us the more comic accurate Batman his Batman reminded me a lot of the animated series Batman and I love it I am so excited for more Battinson he's great and I hope they do Mr. Freeze in the sequel he's a amazing villain
Pattinson was amazing as Batman, and it was good to see Batman do some actual detecting in a film for once (even if he is far off from being the world's greatest detective right now). It makes me laugh when I see people saying that Pattinson was bad because of his physical build as if Batman isn't Batman if he doesn't look like he's eaten a whole cow for breakfast and spent the last 72 consecutive hours bench pressing.
@@Tazza19931 people are always going to hate on greatness also people don't seem to understand that is Batman's second year he isn't going to be amazing detective or built like a brick house just yet that comes later in his career I think Robert Pattinson is the best Batman so far and I can't wait to see how his character develops people need to get over Ben Affleck he's done as Batman they should give Rob a chance
@Bad Boys Boogie Absolutely. I am not saying being bigger and stronger is a bad thing, but a small man can easily best a big one if his knowledge on hand-to-hand combat is superior. Same. I think the BvS warehouse scene is still my favourite Batman combat scene in some ways, but Pattinson was athletic and brutal enough for his fighting go remind me somewhat of the Arkham games. Either way, they were way, way, way better than the fight scenes from the Nolan films, which I really didn't like personally.
@Bad Boys Boogie 100% agreed. Bale's voice was probably the worst thing about his portrayal. Either have a voice that isn't cringe (Pattinson) or have Batman use a device that distorts his voice (Affleck).
@Bad Boys Boogie Pattinson's and Affleck's suit are together in 1st place for me, they're both amazing in very different ways. Bale's suits weren't BAD but I didn't love them either. Wasn't crazy about the cowl and the Batman Begins variant had that horrendous tube neck that stopped him from turning his heard properly.
the technical aspects of this film were so amazing, would be 12/10 if the car chase scene had the batmobile jumping the ramp a scene earlier (cause it cut to another view and then the batmobile appeared outta the fire)
YES!!! I'm watching this Tomorrow night on HBO! The movie is inspired by BLADE RUNNER, Se7en Saw, Silence Of The Lambs, All The President's Men, Klute, Zodiac, Chinatown, The French Connection and every single Hitchcock movie.
Funny you mention Blade Runner as for Batman 1989 no one on the production and art department were allowed to watch Blade Runner as Tim Burton didn't want to draw from the film for his depiction of Gotham City.
If you watch TDK trilogy Pich Meeting videos on RUclips, you soon realize just how much of the Nolan trilogy doesn't actually make much sense and if you take Heath Ledger out of TDK, it is an average film. In the Pitch Meeting vid for this film, they struggled to find anything out of place. That speaks volumes. This is probably the first Batman film in which Batman was the most interesting character (by a wide margin. And the villains were so good!), the first to bring him back to his roots as 'The World's Greatest Detective' ('DC' originally being 'Detective Comics', afterall) and the first film to realize that the old "Billionaire playboy persona" is not a requirement for a good Bruce Wayne story (as the animated series demonstrated years ago). Best on-screen Batman and the best Batman film ever made. No question
I love this Batman, I didn´t think I would, the cinematography the detective batman, the Gotham city portrait are just amazing, can´t wait for the next one
I loved every part of this film, from soundtracks to the whole atmosphere. Even without "the batman", it's a great detective movie. I've talked about this with my friend that the whole movie itelf is decent enough and the character Batman makes it even more interesting. They tried to stay away from the usual superhero shticks as much as possible. I also loved that here, Bruce is still going through a lot, he's not an unbeatable madman and Pattison was perfect for this role. In recent years, I've honestly fed up with superhero movies. These new dark, gloomy DC movies are breath of fresh air for me. I'm glad it did well in box office, so they'll probably make another movie.
Batman does not kill. Even when people deserve it. He believes that anybody can change and become a good person, and as long as he believes that, he will not take a life. Not on purpose, anyways.
Thanks for another great reaction. What a movie! It's brilliant, I love how he's not perfect and gets his ass kicked all movie. The car chase was PHENOMENAL, what a beautifully shot film. Zoe was fantastic and gorgeous, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon was sooo good! We want MORE!
Dangling the criminals was similar to what was done to the cops in the Dark Knight, which took the idea from the comic, Batman: Year One (if i remember correctly).
There’s interviews with Robert and Zoe, where they said when they were talking close and doing those intimate scenes sweat was draining off from the inside of his mask’s nose piece onto Zoe’s face and into her mouth 😂
Considering this batman is his second year I wonder who he stopped in year one, in my opinion we all know he captured joker, but i think he also captured bane because when he was hurting and couldn't get up at the end of the movie i think he used some of banes serum to give him a supernatural boost to defeat the rest of riddlers goons. There may be others but I'm not sure.
This is the best Batman movie because this movie is totally different from previous batman movies And This movie has a dark theme that is just like the Arkham games
As great as the Dark Knight is, this movie is the best BATMAN movie ever made and it’s not close. The Dark Knight is a Nolan movie they just so happens to have comic characters in it. But this movie is TRULY a Batman movie. The immersive experience of Gotham, the way the characters are written, it just FEELS like Batman and it’s absolutely sensational
Robert and Zoe were awesome as Wayne and Selina but for me the standouts were Paul Dano as The Riddler and Colin Farrell as The Penguin, both of them completely embodied their characters and with the mask/prosthetics both were unrecognisable which allowed them to completely become their respective roles, Matt Reeves’ filmmaking is unparalleled and this movie is the first to match The Dark Knight
I typically have only watched your Star Wars show reactions and this is the 1st movie one I've watched from you. You are so good at doing these I have to say. I enjoy the comedy that you include with your reactions. Very well done.
Didn’t expect this reaction, can’t wait to watch it when I get out of work. I strongly recommend getting into DC tv shows or movies. Much more variety than what marvel has to offer in terms of tone and layout. If you were to watch the DCEU movies (DC’s Marvel’s MCU) the timeline goes : 1. Wonder Woman 2. Wonder Woman 1984 3. Man of Steel 4. Batman V Superman (Ultimate edition) 5. Suicide Squad 6. Justice League / Zack Snyder’s justice league 7. Aquaman 8. Shazam 9. Birds of Prey 10. The Suicide Squad 11. Peacemaker (HBO Max)
lol sure it does. This is the only one with a thematic message that remained consistent with tone and execution through the entire movie and reached a conclusion with a value statement and a transformed hero. Shazam is interesting, and will have more coming up soon. But thanks to Ezra their universe plans going forward are likely fucked again. Marvel has far more diversity in tone, hell just watch Eternals. It was a C tier marvel movie that lost too much to cuts to shrink runtime but its an A tier DCEU movie that manages to tell the kind of story BvS and Justice league wanted but with characters that weren't the cookie cutter heroes with either boring motivations or also boring motivations but they are sad about it. DC has plenty of interesting stories, they just haven't turned any of them into live action movies - and either shortsighted directors or overzealous studio notes seem to dictate the narrative arc of most of them. Their animated stuff legitimately was a cinematic universe in the oughts.
No she doesn’t need to waste her time with mediocre movies . Just wait until the Batman 2 . The only decent one on the list isn’t suicide squad 2 and Maybe Shazam but I rather her watch more anime or just something else better in general.
A lot of people seem to miss the fact that Batman himself is a fucking nutter. He's an unstable metally scarred person with an obsesive personality. He's utterly broken as a person. In most the Batman comic runs it takes a good amount of time before he starts to heal and settle but even then at his core he's still that little boy who lost his parents and it fucked him up something crazy.
you wish LMAO Heath Ledger nailed Joker role and won the oscar . The Riddler on this movie was worse than Jim Carrey . Was a decent Batman but didn't impress me
@@marcuswilliams7888 There's nothing delusional about what he said. Besides cinematography, this movie has nothing on TDK. It's still a great film though.
This is by far my favorite version of Batman/ Bruce Wayne. I think this is (maybe batman begins as well) where batman is the spotlight of the movie. Every batman film, the villains steal the show but this one is about the development of being Batman.
This Batman was a step behind the whole movie and, basically, lost. The Riddler accomplished 7 out of 10 things on wishlist. Killed almost everyone he wanted. Wrecked the city and it's definitely in debt now to clean it up, killed at least hundreds if not a thousand people in the floods, and he was caught because he gave himself up. The Riddler ends up exactly in the best place for him. But on the bright side, that pesky homeless problem has been washed away, high-rise condo owners saw their property values skyrocket, and The Bat's heart grew a size. Congrats. In all my life, watching every Batman TV show or movie, I've never seen the Batman fail so hard.
@@harveypooka3328 Sure he fails. Hard. Film noir style. Haha! The baddie wins. The Batman still has much to learn. And that's actually the story. He failed, and needs to proceed doing things differently. I think that's a good setup if there are more movies to come. Personally I hate it when in a first entry everything is perfect. There's nothing substantial to explore anymore in the next one for the protagonist. There needs to be an arc within the movie. There needs to be a strong arc within the trilogy. But that's just my view. I'm actually looking forward to the second one where Batman will become better, but even then the villains will probably win some again, because this is Gotham after all.
Overall I enjoyed the movie from a visual standpoint, loved Gotham City looked amazing very Arkham Knight (Video Game) the mix of old meets new Gotham that 1930s gothic look meets modern 2020 and hints of 1970s/1980s. Wish we saw a little bit more art deco designs but this is more of a nit-pick. Of course this movie also had modern tech what you'd expected in the 2020s with those massive Monitors on the side of buildings adding so much to the overall look of the city, modern version of classic 1930s billboards. You may be wondering why I brought up Modern tech when Batman movies like the Nolan Trilogy had a modern day setting. But both Tim Burtons and more so The Animated Series had this very timeless 1930s look from the fashion to the cars and the architecture but it also had modern tech (for the 90s) as the series was set in the 1990s, Gotham just had this really cool hybrid of old and new. The Batman film doesn't go as much into that look but you can see little elements of Gotham past something I really enjoyed. I also love the classic 1950s style diner where Riddler was captured just felt so much like the opening of Arkham Knight and it's Gotham in general which drew from every depiction of Gotham from the Neon Lights of Joel Schumacher Gotham to the more retro 1930s artistic from the Burton movies and of course the modern day artistic featured in the Nolan movies. This film nailed the Gothic look while also keeping it more grounded. Wish we got a little bit more retro vibes maybe have some Blimps overhead (actually could've came in handy when the city flooded you know with transport and supplies) along with some retro looking posters and adverts, adore the location where Bruce talked to Falcone that looked very Tim Burton/Arkham series. I enjoyed the city more than the The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises which really lacked that Gothic artistic and felt more like Chicago than Gotham but were still great movies, music was also amazing very much inspired by Shirley Walker who was the composer for the Batman Animated Series creating some of the best Batman music to date.
Wasn't a big fan of this rendition of Bruce Wayne felt movies like Mask of the Phantasm (Highly recommend watching it) did a way better job at dealing with the conflict between a younger Bruce and Batman but I can see this version developing overtime which is something I can't wait to see in the sequels. This film drew heavily from the Batman Earth-One issues in one key area. Martha Wayne being an Arkham instead of a Kane pulled right from Batman Earth-One. In almost all renditions Martha is a Kane just like Bruce's cousin Kate Kane who is of course Bat woman. Maybe Kate still exists in this universe but as an Arkham but who knows. Alfred also trained Bruce in both Earth-One and this film with the Earth-One Alfred being a Royal Marine. Since Frank Millers Year One comic Bruce has spent his early years exploring the world coming back to Gotham like we see in Batman Begins which is where he learnt to fight. My ideal Sequel would 100% be a movie focused around Mister Freeze inspired by his appearance in the Batman Animated Series would both give us an interesting villain but also a fun setting go more for a winter theme with blue overtones instead of Red maybe add more colour instead of the film being dark 24/7. Glad you enjoy the film and cannot wait for any future Batman movies/Shows you react to.
I also am hoping for Mr. Freeze. I think he will pose a unique challenge to this Batman who is trying to become a symbol of hope. It will directly challenge his new motivations considering how sympathetic Freeze can be juxtaposed with the destruction he often wreaks. Trying to stop him will test his newfound ideology.
Please, next time, go see it with your friends. You deserve to enjoy movies outside of the channel sometimes. You don’t have to sacrifice your whole life for us. It was a very noble thing to wait so you could see it with us. But you should be able to have fun on your own time, too.
I’m a huge Batman fan; comics, animation, video games, and movies, seeing this movie at the cinema was the best experience!! Can’t wait for the sequel!
Went to see this at the theater, like an idiot didn’t go to the bathroom beforehand and had to pee the entire time. Refused to leave my seat bc I was too into the movie and loved every second of the movie. Can’t wait to watch it again on HBO MAX. 10/10 Batman in my book. Pattinson crushed it
By far the best Batman film ever made. I saw it 5 times in the theater, and I lost count of how many times I've watched it at home now. It's actually my favorite film as of now. Absolutely love this film, and I'm still blown away by what Matt Reeves was able to create. And Robert Pattinson is easily the best Batman in live action, in my opinion. And it's not even close. I can't wait to see what Matt Reeves has in store for us in the sequel!! I'd suggest watching it again by yourself, and not having to worry about talking in the video 😉
Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now. For when I'm needed. But when that light hits the sky, it's not just a call. It's a warning. To them. Fear... is a tool. They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.-Bruce Wayne
I hope you go watch it in theaters too. It’s really worth it and it’s one of my favorite experiences in a theater. Find the theater with the best audio possible. It’s gonna be glorious.
You did got everything right now the last thing when the Riddlers thug said "I'm Vengeance"...it got a meaning...they used Batman's Vengeance and fear as a tool...and so Riddler said we are both in it and Riddler did helped to take down the corrupt people there .. Lol you saw the deleted clip before and then checking for end credit like a Marvel fan...lol
Watched it in cinema, definitely the best movie I've ever watched in cinema. The visual, sounds etc. Are so great. Unforgettable experience. Btw great reaction!
To tell you the truth this is the first time I've finally watching the Batman with you. I'm excited 😁. This is so awesome watching this movie with you. Thank you love.
Even though this movie reminds me of the tv show gotham, since Robert Pattinson aka Edward Colin’s was Batman, it would be cooler that if daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter was the Tim drake robin and if daisy Ridley aka rey skywalker was batgirl.
Loved your reactions! The sequel has been offically confirmed 🔥 I wanna see a more grounded & darker Mr. Freeze as the villain ❄🧊🥶 director Matt Reeves has expressed interest in the idea too 🤞
'Fun fact' - the funeral scene was filmed at St George's Hall, Liverpool, where I got married - watching it at a cinema in the same city was oddly exciting. Pleasantly surprised by this movie, proves Batman movies can still be fresh and unique. (And the clock tower he jumps off of is the Liver Building, next to where I used to work - part-Scouse Batman film, maybe I'm biased).
Haha, I know what you mean about it being oddly exciting - I saw it in Liverpool One odeon and on the drive home kept pointing out the "buildings from batman". Another one you didn't mention but might be aware of is certain shots of the final scene (when batman and catwoman are driving through the cemetery) are filmed in anfield cemetery.
I saw it in theaters with my dad & sister & it was so great. My dad loved it he said it felt like a Alfred hitch cock movie & was one of the best superhero movies he’s seen in awhile that’s not just all blood & nonsense. Loved how well shot this was & seeing how this Batman changed by the end
If the cops were smart they would shoot the wings, you probably don’t own a gun to know to aim center mass and for a fast moving target on top of a city skyscraper you most likely won’t and should just pop a few shots, the amount of paperwork for a dead pedestrian from a cop who just popped a few shots is how we end up hating the police IRL

The opening scene where Bruce has his monologue, the music blasting, criminals fearing the shadow of the unknown, and then hearing Batman’s heavy footsteps walking, was a masterful scene. Really shows the essence of Batman in this movie.
The 10 minutes from the beginning of Bruce's narration til the moment he gets back to the bat cave is the best 10 minutes of batman ever put to film
Gotta love how Matt Reeves went with "criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot" direction. Like he's projecting that Batman is really some otherwordly thing out to get criminals
The monologue was essentially saying he preys on his victims from the shadows, but then never did that once in the film.
Definitely the symbol of fear
I keep rewatching that scene all thr time
I went to see The Batman in cinemas with my moms bf who is a big fan of Batman and the comics, and we both loved it. The acting, the fights, the atmosphere, the characters and music. Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and definitely one of the best Batman movies. 🖤

One of the best things about this film is the room it leaves for potential growth for both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not to mention his armament and seeing how his suit, Batmobile and collection of gadgets might evolve for the next film.
A diamond in the rough.

Makes him much more likeable and shows that despite all he's human, which isn't the case in other batman movies
His vengeance thing inspired a lot of criminals. He realizes that after pulping that Riddler fan so he chooses to become the knight in the end.

@@xGuardianAngelx Maybe ... But I'm not claiming my life to be a 'masterpiece'. You programmed automatons all seem to love copying and pasting that because you can't think for yourself. There is no depth to the 'narrative', It's a mess ... an extremely plodding, boring mess with 'concepts' that beat the viewer over the head. It's pretentious as hell. People who think this movie is great are mostly zoomers and adolescents who think they're getting something deep, brooding and edgy. A "Batman" movie to call their own. All this director was doing was ripping off David Fincher while riding the coattails of Nolan's better movies. It's a shame because I thought his Planet of the Apes movies were a good time.... Your little snipe about my life having no depth. I'm sure you're just another one of those edge lord kids who believe themselves to be 'film connoisseurs' because you liked this bad superhero movie. I'm pretty sure you've probably done nothing with your life either ... at least not yet. When you do, get back to me about your 'great accomplishments' ...

Seems it's people who do that , who always run around getting offended when people don't like the same garbage they do. I don't know what that is .. they always have video game footage on their page. 😂
26:07 Gordon’s trying to act like he’s pissed at Batman in front of the cops so that it “justifies” Batman punching him later. Gordon is trying to help him but also trying to stay on the cops good side because Batman did screw up, but Gordon still believe him
Batman didn't screw up ...he tried till last second to defuse the bomb
Bats didn’t screw up. Dude would’ve gotten off Scott free most likely if he’d given up the name. And if riddler killed him anyway, then that was inevitable. Batman or no Batman.
@@adityayadav-fq5lv in their eyes (the gcpd) he did
@@hmonsalve74 He wouldn't have gotten off Scott-free. He said that if he gave up the name of the rat, the rat would've had him and his family killed, and that is FAR from Scott-free. But with Riddler's bomb around his neck, he knew he was dead one way or another (either keep his mouth shut and have Riddler blow him up or give up the name and the rat would kill him) so he kept his mouth shut and let the bomb go off to protect his family.
The cops were pissed at Batman because they wanted to defuse the bomb with their robot. Batman did his best to save the guy, but as far as they're concerned, he interfered in police business and someone died as a result. And given their hostility toward him, they're likely quite fed up with a masked vigilante getting involved in police matters (and the corrupt ones probably don't want Batman uncovering their corruption either).
The fact that this movie rakes place from October 31st-Novermber 6th making it 7 days is probably the coolest nod to the movie "seven" ever. I always knew the movie had elements from seven but having the movie take place over 7 days is so cool.
Also if I’m correct, riddler flooded the city on November 5th. Remember remember, the 5th of November
I think you missed the point of the "I'm Vengeance" line, it's supposed to show how Batman inspired people the wrong way.
Instead of people seeking Justice for the people of Gotham, they're instead acting on Vengeance, a selfish act. That's why he stuck around to help the survivors, because he wants to change his image to a protector, not a vindicator
nah we gone talk about the “id let robert patterson beat my ass”💀
Sus
She means it 💀
Pattinson knocked it out of the park. Such a great job portraying a younger Batman.
This Batmans age 20s but Pattinson in this movie 35 yo
49:40 I think that the “Ave Maria” taunt it is a little funny. He knows he is pissing Bruce off, which is why some people may either choose Bruce’s anger, or the Riddlers witty taunt (behind a bulletproof glass)
26:05 he's doing these facial expressions to mask what he's talking about with Batman... he's trying to appear aggressive, so that the punch seems more believable
I feel like people don't appreciate that this movie fully shows the "world's greatest detective" aspect of Batman's character. I love that you enjoyed that aspect of the movie
I mean, it really doesn't. It tries too. The most detective thing he does really is break a cypher and follow a trail. There's nothing particularly smart about the detective aspect of him as a whole in this film.
@@DDuMas I do appreciate that there was some detective stuff, like him reviewing footage, studying stuff and whatnot. I can agree that he wasn't the best at it but I think that's partially because this is still a newbie batman.
People say that the Batman is “boring”, I’d say that they’re too used to expecting MCU type superhero movies. Batman always started off as a noir character in the comics, so I’d say going back into the roots is really nice and a great change of pace
@@DDuMas it’s still the best detective work out of every batman movie except the animated ones which is what he means
@@giosbizarreart9048 Low bar. And that's not what he said.

I loved this film, the way they showed the more Noir/ detective side of Batman makes this film!! Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattinson's chemistry as Batman/ Selina is flawless!!
I really like this film pattinson did a great job tbf. I like that he’s only been Batman for two years and he’s still angry and not pulling his punches. He’s the worlds greatest detective and Alfred is an amazing actor Bruce is his new precious lol
sometimes u gotta sacrifice these first reactions for the theater experience because comic book movies in the cinemas just hit different fr. When that batmobile engine started roaring, the surround sound from the theater was amazing
Most of these reactors doesn’t care about the movie experience, they care about they money and views they would get with uploading these videos. I follow some reactors that doesn’t care about the views and money and they do go to the theaters and then give a review, but most of the reactors only care about the money. For example; Brandon Likes Movies, Omn1Media, GETJaby, Holden Hardman, MovieFusion, etc, they saw NWH and The Batman in theaters. But then you have these other reactors that waited for NWH and The Batman to release on digital to make money.
I have a 4k tv and a good soundbar, so if I don’t watch a movie in theaters because I wasn’t sure I still get a good experience but these reactors has 1080p monitors, a lot of lights in their rooms, etc, I can’t see myself enjoying a movie like The Batman with how they watch it (and talking a lot for the video).
I saw it on IMAX and this was one of the best comic book movies experience that I had, my fourth favorite superhero movie. 🔥

I watched this in the cinema with my sister (We're both pattinson fans) and we love every second of it. The introduction to Batman. The car chase, Zoe Kravitz. And the more i watch it, the more i appreciate it.
You know how much you love Batman and Rob Pat so this reaction did not disappoint
So here’s something I keep noticing- Batman being a detective and peeping in on Selina= creepy. Edward Cullen (a 100 year old man) watching an underage girl sleep for a month without her knowledge = romantic. I don’t understand true romance I guess.
i mean, both are creepy.
@@thegamingknight2096 Ehh nope. Batman is doing his job, which is doing Detective work. He's on a stake out. To see where Selina leads him to. Batman does this a lot, so don't know why it's a big deal. 🤔
True Romance as in with Clarence & Alabama? Just watch it again good Jim sir.
As per this case, there is a different reason for the peeping in both cases... I was initially about to say 1 is for work other is for pleasure but that would be a lie, Bruce Wayne pleasure AND curse is to be Batman... Batmanning will lead to peeping, a lot.
I have worked as private eye before, it's 80% peeping 20% actual talking to people/action. Studying people and their habits/flaws is the bread and butter of detective work. Watch and learn they said... Only confront when enough has been accumulated. In most movies (not specifically Batman), we only see the 20% of that work, the fun part. A bit of the other but they fastrack it so much it is ridiculous.
Exemple: They follow a dude to place X and make a bust the same night or weekend. Just following a dude and ensuring the spot is the right one may take a long while. That's the realistic boring part we don't have here....
Batman being the world's greatest detective also makes him the world's richest, weirdest, most serious and least interested in your romantic life peeping tom ever.
@@thegamingknight2096 I dunno- the whole “breaking into an underaged girl’s home to watch her sleep” puts that one over the edge for me.
@@number1fool I didn't say it wasn't creepy, it's absolutely more creepy. Bruce's thing is still creepy.
I watched this movie two weeks ago with my parents in the cinema. My dad (who’s 60) loved the movie. He usually falls asleep watching movies but he was son invested he watched all three hours without closing his eyes.
My dad is the same but he went "Fuck yeah!" When the Batmobile does out of the flames.
@@personman1148 hahahaha! That is so cool! My dad doesn’t express a lot, so you know a movie is good when he goes “it was pretty interesting!”
Now with the sequel being announced, I really hope they introduce more villains that hadn't appeared on film for years, the way they did for Riddler and Penguin. I really wish they seize this opportunity to bring back the "loving husband who's origin and motivations shatters our hearts"-Mr Freeze
They might introduce the league of shadows/assassins and/or Robin, I think.
the reason gordon was making those weird faces was because he was trying to make it look like he was scolding the batman in front of the cops (an act)
When I saw this in theaters hearing the footsteps that was a really cool touch because it felt like he was actually the shadows and then when he emerged it felt like the Arkham games were he wasn't perfect at countering but when he got the combat down he could pretty much take down a group of bad guys
Hear me out: The Batman 2 will be even better than this one! Reason: This is the first movie whit Matt Reeves Vision in it, the actors now did a movie and know how to do another one. The cinematography will be better (I guess), the score was and will be great as well, the Story was so well written and everything has led up to a great sequel. The Batman 2 will break even better for sure.
And Reeves has a preeeetty good track record with sequels in major franchises
Hopefully we get a better villain
I can’t imagine how the cinematography could become any better but I’m hyped too
@@SebTheGreat84 I don't understand how you can call the riddler a bad villain but yeah there will be a good villain too probably
@@Till-yc3qh joker mannerisms in a submissive bdsm cosplay, felt strange for that character
The Batman is easily one of the best Batman films after Mask of the Phantasm I think Robert Pattinson is the best Batman because he gave us the more comic accurate Batman his Batman reminded me a lot of the animated series Batman and I love it I am so excited for more Battinson he's great and I hope they do Mr. Freeze in the sequel he's a amazing villain
Pattinson was amazing as Batman, and it was good to see Batman do some actual detecting in a film for once (even if he is far off from being the world's greatest detective right now). It makes me laugh when I see people saying that Pattinson was bad because of his physical build as if Batman isn't Batman if he doesn't look like he's eaten a whole cow for breakfast and spent the last 72 consecutive hours bench pressing.
@@Tazza19931 people are always going to hate on greatness also people don't seem to understand that is Batman's second year he isn't going to be amazing detective or built like a brick house just yet that comes later in his career I think Robert Pattinson is the best Batman so far and I can't wait to see how his character develops people need to get over Ben Affleck he's done as Batman they should give Rob a chance
@Bad Boys Boogie Absolutely. I am not saying being bigger and stronger is a bad thing, but a small man can easily best a big one if his knowledge on hand-to-hand combat is superior.
Same. I think the BvS warehouse scene is still my favourite Batman combat scene in some ways, but Pattinson was athletic and brutal enough for his fighting go remind me somewhat of the Arkham games. Either way, they were way, way, way better than the fight scenes from the Nolan films, which I really didn't like personally.
@Bad Boys Boogie 100% agreed. Bale's voice was probably the worst thing about his portrayal. Either have a voice that isn't cringe (Pattinson) or have Batman use a device that distorts his voice (Affleck).
@Bad Boys Boogie Pattinson's and Affleck's suit are together in 1st place for me, they're both amazing in very different ways. Bale's suits weren't BAD but I didn't love them either. Wasn't crazy about the cowl and the Batman Begins variant had that horrendous tube neck that stopped him from turning his heard properly.
Silent bits of your reaction were amazing
Saw this one in theaters, it's absolutely AMAZING, the cinematography was amazing, the cast was brilliant, overall it's fantastic 💯
Saw it in the theater loved every minute of it all the actors did an amazing job and yes Robert Pattinson is underrated
the technical aspects of this film were so amazing, would be 12/10 if the car chase scene had the batmobile jumping the ramp a scene earlier (cause it cut to another view and then the batmobile appeared outta the fire)
(Bat screeching like a thousand tortured souls in the depths of hell)
"Look how cute it is!"
YES!!!
I'm watching this Tomorrow night on HBO!
The movie is inspired by BLADE RUNNER, Se7en Saw, Silence Of The Lambs, All The President's Men, Klute, Zodiac, Chinatown, The French Connection and every single Hitchcock movie.
Funny you mention Blade Runner as for Batman 1989 no one on the production and art department were allowed to watch Blade Runner as Tim Burton didn't want to draw from the film for his depiction of Gotham City.
Didn't even see the inspiration of Blade Runner till u mentioned it, one of my favorite movies this and BR
@@SoapNugget so much rain lol
The Alfred Bomb scene is actually really good screenwriting, a classic misdirection.
If you watch TDK trilogy Pich Meeting videos on RUclips, you soon realize just how much of the Nolan trilogy doesn't actually make much sense and if you take Heath Ledger out of TDK, it is an average film. In the Pitch Meeting vid for this film, they struggled to find anything out of place. That speaks volumes. This is probably the first Batman film in which Batman was the most interesting character (by a wide margin. And the villains were so good!), the first to bring him back to his roots as 'The World's Greatest Detective' ('DC' originally being 'Detective Comics', afterall) and the first film to realize that the old "Billionaire playboy persona" is not a requirement for a good Bruce Wayne story (as the animated series demonstrated years ago). Best on-screen Batman and the best Batman film ever made. No question
If you know the real Batman comics you know Batman is dark and violent stories and he is more of a detective than a cgi super hero
Oh man I love your idea of Zoe as Ventress!
Watching a movie with Alyce feels like I’m watching stuff with the homies at the house! 👏🏾🙌🏾
I love this Batman, I didn´t think I would, the cinematography the detective batman, the Gotham city portrait are just amazing, can´t wait for the next one
I loved every part of this film, from soundtracks to the whole atmosphere. Even without "the batman", it's a great detective movie. I've talked about this with my friend that the whole movie itelf is decent enough and the character Batman makes it even more interesting. They tried to stay away from the usual superhero shticks as much as possible. I also loved that here, Bruce is still going through a lot, he's not an unbeatable madman and Pattison was perfect for this role. In recent years, I've honestly fed up with superhero movies. These new dark, gloomy DC movies are breath of fresh air for me. I'm glad it did well in box office, so they'll probably make another movie.
Batman does not kill. Even when people deserve it. He believes that anybody can change and become a good person, and as long as he believes that, he will not take a life. Not on purpose, anyways.
He's mad at Bruce because he had all that money and didn't do nothing to help the orphans correct me if I'm wrong comments.
Hour long video!! 🤯 Loved watching this first time along with your patreon reaction! Movie was so good!! Thanks for all the hard work Alyce!!
4:52 ”I’d let Robert Pattison beat my ass too” Wait, that didn't come out right.. 😅
Thanks for another great reaction. What a movie! It's brilliant, I love how he's not perfect and gets his ass kicked all movie. The car chase was PHENOMENAL, what a beautifully shot film. Zoe was fantastic and gorgeous, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon was sooo good! We want MORE!
I love the Seven vibes and detective aspects. Robert Pattinson killed it! My 2nd fave Batman movie easy
Dangling the criminals was similar to what was done to the cops in the Dark Knight, which took the idea from the comic, Batman: Year One (if i remember correctly).
41:02
Oh you're gonna love Zoe with blue hair in Kimi ;)
That Jaw line of Robert Pattinson suits very well for a masked character in my opinion. Can literally cut glass in your opinion 🤣🙂
Fun fact: the half face painted kid is Tim Drake(robin) in the Teen Titans show
Holy smokes
I like that Bruce Wayne himself looks vampiric and gothic somewhat
Matches as the name "dark knight"
The protective collar does add to that somewhat.
The Batman is a beautiful cinematic and gothic masterpiece.
LOVED this film soooo much, watched it on the opening day myself! Been wainting for your reaction since, thanks for the content Alyce
Your "I am Vengeance." was pretty awesome.
There’s interviews with Robert and Zoe, where they said when they were talking close and doing those intimate scenes sweat was draining off from the inside of his mask’s nose piece onto Zoe’s face and into her mouth 😂
Considering this batman is his second year I wonder who he stopped in year one, in my opinion we all know he captured joker, but i think he also captured bane because when he was hurting and couldn't get up at the end of the movie i think he used some of banes serum to give him a supernatural boost to defeat the rest of riddlers goons. There may be others but I'm not sure.
since that thing he used wasn't never focused or acknowledge is most likely that it was nothing but a shot of adrenaline
This is the best Batman movie because this movie is totally different from previous batman movies
And This movie has a dark theme that is just like the Arkham games
As great as the Dark Knight is, this movie is the best BATMAN movie ever made and it’s not close. The Dark Knight is a Nolan movie they just so happens to have comic characters in it. But this movie is TRULY a Batman movie. The immersive experience of Gotham, the way the characters are written, it just FEELS like Batman and it’s absolutely sensational
Great opening scene. The dark knight trilogy and the Batman is never going to be boring to watch it more than two times
Robert and Zoe were awesome as Wayne and Selina but for me the standouts were Paul Dano as The Riddler and Colin Farrell as The Penguin, both of them completely embodied their characters and with the mask/prosthetics both were unrecognisable which allowed them to completely become their respective roles, Matt Reeves’ filmmaking is unparalleled and this movie is the first to match The Dark Knight
Wow! An hour long reaction for a movie. I’m impressed
31:40 funny how they made him walk like a penguin
I typically have only watched your Star Wars show reactions and this is the 1st movie one I've watched from you. You are so good at doing these I have to say. I enjoy the comedy that you include with your reactions. Very well done.
Didn’t expect this reaction, can’t wait to watch it when I get out of work. I strongly recommend getting into DC tv shows or movies. Much more variety than what marvel has to offer in terms of tone and layout. If you were to watch the DCEU movies (DC’s Marvel’s MCU) the timeline goes :
1. Wonder Woman
2. Wonder Woman 1984
3. Man of Steel
4. Batman V Superman (Ultimate edition)
5. Suicide Squad
6. Justice League / Zack Snyder’s justice league
7. Aquaman
8. Shazam
9. Birds of Prey
10. The Suicide Squad
11. Peacemaker (HBO Max)
the variety in question is equal to different colors and viscosities of shit
Like five of these are worth watching
@@sugareecereviews LOL
lol sure it does. This is the only one with a thematic message that remained consistent with tone and execution through the entire movie and reached a conclusion with a value statement and a transformed hero.
Shazam is interesting, and will have more coming up soon. But thanks to Ezra their universe plans going forward are likely fucked again. Marvel has far more diversity in tone, hell just watch Eternals. It was a C tier marvel movie that lost too much to cuts to shrink runtime but its an A tier DCEU movie that manages to tell the kind of story BvS and Justice league wanted but with characters that weren't the cookie cutter heroes with either boring motivations or also boring motivations but they are sad about it. DC has plenty of interesting stories, they just haven't turned any of them into live action movies - and either shortsighted directors or overzealous studio notes seem to dictate the narrative arc of most of them. Their animated stuff legitimately was a cinematic universe in the oughts.
No she doesn’t need to waste her time with mediocre movies . Just wait until the Batman 2 . The only decent one on the list isn’t suicide squad 2 and Maybe Shazam but I rather her watch more anime or just something else better in general.
A lot of people seem to miss the fact that Batman himself is a fucking nutter. He's an unstable metally scarred person with an obsesive personality. He's utterly broken as a person. In most the Batman comic runs it takes a good amount of time before he starts to heal and settle but even then at his core he's still that little boy who lost his parents and it fucked him up something crazy.
You really should've seen this im the Cinema...The chase scene in Cinemas was UNREAL!
No shit! You're right! Goosebump when the engine started. The sounds and visual really great! Sadly I didn't watch it in imax.

@@marcuswilliams7888 There's nothing delusional about what he said. Besides cinematography, this movie has nothing on TDK. It's still a great film though.
This is by far my favorite version of Batman/ Bruce Wayne. I think this is (maybe batman begins as well) where batman is the spotlight of the movie. Every batman film, the villains steal the show but this one is about the development of being Batman.
This Batman was a step behind the whole movie and, basically, lost. The Riddler accomplished 7 out of 10 things on wishlist. Killed almost everyone he wanted. Wrecked the city and it's definitely in debt now to clean it up, killed at least hundreds if not a thousand people in the floods, and he was caught because he gave himself up. The Riddler ends up exactly in the best place for him. But on the bright side, that pesky homeless problem has been washed away, high-rise condo owners saw their property values skyrocket, and The Bat's heart grew a size. Congrats. In all my life, watching every Batman TV show or movie, I've never seen the Batman fail so hard.
@@harveypooka3328 Sure he fails. Hard. Film noir style. Haha! The baddie wins. The Batman still has much to learn. And that's actually the story. He failed, and needs to proceed doing things differently. I think that's a good setup if there are more movies to come. Personally I hate it when in a first entry everything is perfect. There's nothing substantial to explore anymore in the next one for the protagonist. There needs to be an arc within the movie. There needs to be a strong arc within the trilogy. But that's just my view. I'm actually looking forward to the second one where Batman will become better, but even then the villains will probably win some again, because this is Gotham after all.
Falcone knew she was his daughter. That’s why he knew her when they met at the club. Saying “I’m Maria Kyle’s kid” was making a statement.
This is the Batman I was waiting for. This felt like I was living in Gotham City for 3 hours.

35:05 Bruce: My dark knight has risen.
Overall I enjoyed the movie from a visual standpoint, loved Gotham City looked amazing very Arkham Knight (Video Game) the mix of old meets new Gotham that 1930s gothic look meets modern 2020 and hints of 1970s/1980s. Wish we saw a little bit more art deco designs but this is more of a nit-pick. Of course this movie also had modern tech what you'd expected in the 2020s with those massive Monitors on the side of buildings adding so much to the overall look of the city, modern version of classic 1930s billboards.
You may be wondering why I brought up Modern tech when Batman movies like the Nolan Trilogy had a modern day setting. But both Tim Burtons and more so The Animated Series had this very timeless 1930s look from the fashion to the cars and the architecture but it also had modern tech (for the 90s) as the series was set in the 1990s, Gotham just had this really cool hybrid of old and new. The Batman film doesn't go as much into that look but you can see little elements of Gotham past something I really enjoyed.
I also love the classic 1950s style diner where Riddler was captured just felt so much like the opening of Arkham Knight and it's Gotham in general which drew from every depiction of Gotham from the Neon Lights of Joel Schumacher Gotham to the more retro 1930s artistic from the Burton movies and of course the modern day artistic featured in the Nolan movies. This film nailed the Gothic look while also keeping it more grounded.
Wish we got a little bit more retro vibes maybe have some Blimps overhead (actually could've came in handy when the city flooded you know with transport and supplies) along with some retro looking posters and adverts, adore the location where Bruce talked to Falcone that looked very Tim Burton/Arkham series. I enjoyed the city more than the The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises which really lacked that Gothic artistic and felt more like Chicago than Gotham but were still great movies, music was also amazing very much inspired by Shirley Walker who was the composer for the Batman Animated Series creating some of the best Batman music to date.
Wasn't a big fan of this rendition of Bruce Wayne felt movies like Mask of the Phantasm (Highly recommend watching it) did a way better job at dealing with the conflict between a younger Bruce and Batman but I can see this version developing overtime which is something I can't wait to see in the sequels.
This film drew heavily from the Batman Earth-One issues in one key area. Martha Wayne being an Arkham instead of a Kane pulled right from Batman Earth-One. In almost all renditions Martha is a Kane just like Bruce's cousin Kate Kane who is of course Bat woman. Maybe Kate still exists in this universe but as an Arkham but who knows. Alfred also trained Bruce in both Earth-One and this film with the Earth-One Alfred being a Royal Marine. Since Frank Millers Year One comic Bruce has spent his early years exploring the world coming back to Gotham like we see in Batman Begins which is where he learnt to fight.
My ideal Sequel would 100% be a movie focused around Mister Freeze inspired by his appearance in the Batman Animated Series would both give us an interesting villain but also a fun setting go more for a winter theme with blue overtones instead of Red maybe add more colour instead of the film being dark 24/7. Glad you enjoy the film and cannot wait for any future Batman movies/Shows you react to.
I also am hoping for Mr. Freeze. I think he will pose a unique challenge to this Batman who is trying to become a symbol of hope. It will directly challenge his new motivations considering how sympathetic Freeze can be juxtaposed with the destruction he often wreaks. Trying to stop him will test his newfound ideology.
Been waiting for this one, and an awesome reaction as always Alyce! 🥰
Please, next time, go see it with your friends. You deserve to enjoy movies outside of the channel sometimes. You don’t have to sacrifice your whole life for us. It was a very noble thing to wait so you could see it with us. But you should be able to have fun on your own time, too.
I’m a huge Batman fan; comics, animation, video games, and movies, seeing this movie at the cinema was the best experience!! Can’t wait for the sequel!
Went to see this at the theater, like an idiot didn’t go to the bathroom beforehand and had to pee the entire time. Refused to leave my seat bc I was too into the movie and loved every second of the movie. Can’t wait to watch it again on HBO MAX. 10/10 Batman in my book. Pattinson crushed it
By far the best Batman film ever made. I saw it 5 times in the theater, and I lost count of how many times I've watched it at home now. It's actually my favorite film as of now. Absolutely love this film, and I'm still blown away by what Matt Reeves was able to create.
And Robert Pattinson is easily the best Batman in live action, in my opinion. And it's not even close. I can't wait to see what Matt Reeves has in store for us in the sequel!! I'd suggest watching it again by yourself, and not having to worry about talking in the video 😉
"He's just not standing there for a Good Time"..nice🙌🏼
Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now. For when I'm needed. But when that light hits the sky, it's not just a call. It's a warning. To them. Fear... is a tool. They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.-Bruce Wayne
I hope you go watch it in theaters too. It’s really worth it and it’s one of my favorite experiences in a theater. Find the theater with the best audio possible. It’s gonna be glorious.
You did got everything right now the last thing when the Riddlers thug said "I'm Vengeance"...it got a meaning...they used Batman's Vengeance and fear as a tool...and so Riddler said we are both in it and Riddler did helped to take down the corrupt people there ..
Lol you saw the deleted clip before and then checking for end credit like a Marvel fan...lol
Watched it in cinema, definitely the best movie I've ever watched in cinema. The visual, sounds etc. Are so great. Unforgettable experience.
Btw great reaction!
It’s just not the same watching it on a screen at home.
@@dibsdibs3495 exactly! Except if you have a home theater. I didn't watch it in IMAX sadly, but still it was a great experience.
Best ever? You need to watch more movies.
@@SebTheGreat84 i did, but this is my favourite.
To tell you the truth this is the first time I've finally watching the Batman with you. I'm excited 😁. This is so awesome watching this movie with you. Thank you love.
This Batman movie is more grounded & realistic and he's playing a year 2 Batman so yeah
Even though this movie reminds me of the tv show gotham, since Robert Pattinson aka Edward Colin’s was Batman, it would be cooler that if daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter was the Tim drake robin and if daisy Ridley aka rey skywalker was batgirl.
I need to get around to watching the full reaction on Patreon sooner rather than later! Thanks, Alyce! 🦇
Loved your reactions! The sequel has been offically confirmed 🔥
I wanna see a more grounded & darker Mr. Freeze as the villain ❄🧊🥶 director Matt Reeves has expressed interest in the idea too 🤞
The cop talking to Gordon at the memorium was the an actor on Chernobyl.
54:50 That is the same guy that talked to Bruce at the Mayor's funeral.
this movie is a masterpeice, Robbert is the new definitive live action batman
Loved your reaction! Great job!
'Fun fact' - the funeral scene was filmed at St George's Hall, Liverpool, where I got married - watching it at a cinema in the same city was oddly exciting.
Pleasantly surprised by this movie, proves Batman movies can still be fresh and unique.
(And the clock tower he jumps off of is the Liver Building, next to where I used to work - part-Scouse Batman film, maybe I'm biased).
Haha, I know what you mean about it being oddly exciting - I saw it in Liverpool One odeon and on the drive home kept pointing out the "buildings from batman". Another one you didn't mention but might be aware of is certain shots of the final scene (when batman and catwoman are driving through the cemetery) are filmed in anfield cemetery.
I am Vengeance is the first third of Kevin Conroy's top famous Batman catch phase which is I AM VENGEANCE I AM THE KNIGHT I AM BATMAN.
34:22 that facial expretion, priceless
Good news, a sequel to The Batman has been confirmed today!
I saw it in theaters with my dad & sister & it was so great. My dad loved it he said it felt like a Alfred hitch cock movie & was one of the best superhero movies he’s seen in awhile that’s not just all blood & nonsense. Loved how well shot this was & seeing how this Batman changed by the end
If the cops were smart they would shoot the wings, you probably don’t own a gun to know to aim center mass and for a fast moving target on top of a city skyscraper you most likely won’t and should just pop a few shots, the amount of paperwork for a dead pedestrian from a cop who just popped a few shots is how we end up hating the police IRL
in fairness to gordon, he only really made the weird faces when he was pretending to be chewing out batman in front of the other cops. 😂
