Would highly recommend people to watch Se7en, Prisoners, and Zodiac before watching The Batman. The director Matt Reeves has payed homage to these cult detective classics emphasizing that this is the first detective live-action batman movie.
As a batman fan, this was the first movie where they showed Batman as a detective and before the fancy gadgets, fancy car and before Lucius Fox. This was amazing, as he had to plan his fights and attacks.
@@ankansenapati3600 nope nolan didn't show it quite much....Ben Affleck's version had a bit of detectivy vibe but the story's script was...well we all know how it was 🙃
The most underrated part of the movie is the sound design. The ominous menacing walk of Batman coming out of shadows, the engine of Batmobile roaring in the middle of street is just work of art.
The build up to Batman's entry made me fall in love with the movie. Also the cinematography in this movie is class. People are used to quick action, jokes almost same story line in Superhero movies. This movie is for the people who understand, know and love "Cinema"
I believe The Batman will spark a very important discussion regarding film criticism. I read a review on Rotten Tomatoes by a professional critic that calls this movie 'humorless'. My question is, so? How is that a criticism and not a choice of the film's tone? Also, we cannot criticize a movie as 'too fast' or 'too slow' without any context. I have seen people have a single line critique, like, 'Blade Runner 2049 is too slow', again, how is that a critique? I feel Martin Scorsese was right when he called MCU movies as Amusement Park movies and not cinema. I saw people complain about The Batman not having full blown action of sorts, and instead being a 3 hour detective movie. We've become addicts to these superhero tropes of the third act of films being blind fighting and skybeams and just metal clanking 20 times per second, that we have forgotten movies altogether.
I think it depends on what movies or cinema or tv mean for u, for me they’re just something that helps me get through a day because i experienced something on a screen I’ve never seem before so yeah i find it offensive when people say they don’t think marvel movies are real but that’s because cinema means something different to them, thats how people review and critic films, through they’re own lenses
Majority of critics are used to the same boring ass Marvel formula of mindless action and childish quips every 5 mins. There are always biased against DC movies and any form of artistic interpretation dosen't sit well with their minds. These people ultimately assume that all comic book movies need to be light hearted and 'fun' to be enjoyable, they don't give a damn about the plot at all.
@@Vengeance622 u really think reviewers care enough to be biased and shouldn’t they be biased against marvel considering that all the top directors hate marvel movies, maybe its just they’re opinions, obviously some of the reviews are idiotic but they’re not all wrong
I think for hardcore Batman fans like us, there couldn’t have been a better Batman movie. The characterisation of the year 2 Batman and Bruce Wayne is perfect. I loved all of it. The pacing was a minor issue for me but I can easily ignore it because it justifies its runtime. I believe the length can be the only turn off for mainstream audiences but I’m really happy that Matt Reeves didn’t compromise on his vision to cater to Non-Batman fans. Robert Pattinson is hands down the best Batman but the best Bruce Wayne is still Christian Bale for me.
Ben Affleck was Suprisingly good too. I had to go back and watch Batman V Superman, but the Ultimate Edition this time. That Batman was straight out of Frank Miller's Dark knight. Terrifying.
@@ajaxsid9034 B v S can only be truly appreciated in its ultimate edition. Ben Affleck was an impeccable casting choice in my opinion. He was let down by the studio and unjustifiably criticised by audiences. I really hope he gets to play it for some more time after The Flash releases.
@@rohantripathi9791 true man. Batffleck was a great casting choice. If only we could've see his solo film set in the Snyderverse, where he would've gone against Deathstroke.
I absolutely loved this movie. the biggest takeaway for me was, that this was a movie, it Felt like a movie of its own. it did not have the stereotypical superhero movie sequencing or tropes, and had just absolutely gorgeous cinematography. as for the length, I do feel that they could have chopped half an hour or 20 mins, but in the end it paid off. Robert Pattinson is my batman
@@TriedRefusedProductions Exactly! The scars, the beatings showed he wasn't some invulnerable god but just another human being like the rest of em. I actually prefer him to Christian bale
@@Vedantindian2012 it's people on the internet like you who can't see things beyond the pOweR of a character. It's been clearly stated that he's been operating for only two years and is still figuring out his role in society. It's a coming of age story too if you weren't too busy noting things down to have your hateboner about. Also, "emo"? Lmao you saw one version of Wayne being a flamboyant playboy and a vigilante and decided that's just how he should be in all media? As I said before, he is figuring out his role in the society. Notice how he says "I'm vengeance" at the start of the movie and by the end decides "vengeance doesn't yield anything" or something like that. But hey if you don't WANNA see merit where it's due no amount of explanation is gonna suffice. This guy didn't even have all his gadgets he's famous for and yet you wonder why he waltzed into the club like that😹😹. Also if he hadn't received training, he wouldn't have been able to fight at all with anybody considering he's a fucking billionaire heir to an estate
People who have seen Robert Pattinson's acting skills in The lighthouse or in Good Time already knew he is going to be the best Batman ever. It's sad to see that some people still criticize him for his role in Twilight.
Yeah and they criticise him for the role.. Like what is he supposed to do with a role like Edward Cullen? People can't differentiate the actor and the role.. Just bcz of one role years ago.. Pattinson is forever "weak", "girly", "gay" lol.. Its stupid
@@ashikdennis9202 nah man no one called him girly or gay. He was more catered towards the female audience and the chics were crazy about him. After Twilight ended we got to see his real talent.
What's amazing about Pattinson is that he actually was the best part of the Twilight movie series. But his portrayal of the the Dark Knight is mesmerizing
I also had preconceived notions about Robert's acting but his movie 'Good Time' changed my mind for good. Since then he has impressed us with stellar performances in Lighthouse & now in The Batman.
@@TriedRefusedProductions Same Jammy, I watched Good Times and Lighthouse within a span of few days (not in the theatres ofc), and I was so shook. Pattinson was just so frickin good, since then I have never doubted his acting ability for once
Lol..pattinson's one note performance is weakest link of this movie..Comparing him with Christian bale is like comparing Ayushman khurana with Amitabh..bale's costume,voice and action were bad and his brilliant performance saved the moments ..ben afleck was best overall batman followed by Mike Keaton..pattinson is as overrated as this movie..this will not cross even 1 billion ..the hype and over enthusiam of dc fans will die down..Matt reeeves always promise a lot,his trailer editing sense+Music sense is good but his movies always fall short of greatness(check his filmography)..this is no exception..in fact this movie falls miles behind joker which was poor man's Taxi driver(great performance by pHOENIX) Ask Gunn to direct next set of DC movies..may be peacemaker or black adam can undo the DC curse..marvel is laughing on how many opportunities DC is missing
People often fight for "who's the best batman". Can't we all just appreciate that different directors shown different variations of the knight, each of which was impressive on their own environment? (Yes, I include Adam West)
@Heartthrob Goswamy I humbly disagree. Batfleck perfectly suited the environment which Zack created, but we can have a difference in this. No problem 😀
Pattinson has completely done justice to the caped crusader. The dark tone of the movie perfectly captures the Gotham that is in shambles…loved the performance, specially by the Riddler…although he had less screen time and too good..
The Riddler had to tell the Batman his plan after Batman fell right into his trap and the Riddler gave himself up. How did this movie portray the World's Greatest Detective?
@@HCTG69 you think beating the riddler's plan is the only way he can prove to be the world's greatest detective. That's wrong. He makes mistakes as a young Batman, still, he is the most intelligent Batman in live-action. In the long Halloween comic, he doesn't find out who the real villain is, does that make him any less intelligent. No. He will make mistakes he will fight no matter what, sometimes it will succeed sometimes it will fail. He will try to be better. That's what Batman is. A breath of fresh air in a world of generic superheroes and superhero movies.
@@HCTG69 The point of this entire movie was exactly that. A younger and still angry Bruce was mindlessly fighting crime to feel some sort of repentance for his parents death. Only to realize his 'vengence' isnt what will take the city out of the state it is but only inspire other psychos like the Riddler. This is the establishing film that gives Bruce the reason to become a real hero and not just a vengeful vigilante. Dont think in such a black and white way...
Yeah.. those were amazing. Even the the Rover and lost city of Oz were good. Acting as submissive low IQ person when you're on the peak of a heart throb phase was one gutsy move.
What Batman caught my fancy for, right since childhood, is that this was a superhero without any supernatural powers to boast of and seemed vulnerable compared to a Superman or Spiderman. But he more than made up for it with his supreme intelligence, analytical skills, technological expertise, gadget wizardry and quick wit in the most trying of situations. That's why Batman defined an entire era for me.
we live in a time when even a fabulous movies like batman is being criticised. this is a epic movie bringing something very different to a superhero genre.
Only in India because of dumb people today I watched the movie. U want to guess how many people were present? 8 only. 2 Couples for kissing and all... 4 others including me lol. But I enjoyed so much and didn't want to end it

After years and years of some awesome Batman films, it feel like we finally got the definitive version of the character that's totally inherent of the psychological aspects of it. The best thing was how it represented Gotham, like some kind of diseased substance slowly poisoning the very integrity of the law and order of the place and how it takes a toll on its inhabitants. Couldn't have asked for a more apt Batman movie. Reeves just nailed it with the character arc.
The best thing about this movie is that it stays true to what it intended to be. It wasn't going to be a fun action flick featuring a superhero like what MCU brings nor it was a movie which had many angles to explore with a two hour of run time like most of the DCEU movies. It was like watching a mystery/thriller movie with a twist that we had a Super Hero doing the investigations then a cop.
Also it has a freaking Nirvana song in it. That already sold the movie for me. Also Matt Reeves said that Bruce Wayne was inspired from the very talented but tormented Kurt Cobain. People can also check out Montage of heck which is an amazing documentary about the late, great Kurt Cobain.
It is quite interesting how both the Twilight stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, trolled the most at one point of time during the Twilight saga era, have redeemed themselves as actors. Pattinson with The Lighthouse, Tenet, etc and Stewart with Spencer. Never imagined back in the Twilight days that these two would ever be taken seriously as compelling performers.
@@raam726 No way dude.. This movie is easily better than Begins & performance-wise Pattinson is easily the better Batman. There's no doubt about that & I'm glad to see many ppl think this too. Plus opinions so it cn definitely be 10/10 for him.
Problem is nowadays that people think MCU's Stark's death is the "darkest" moment comicbook movies should go and it should have a joke in every 3 mins doesnt matter how the situation is. Thats why Spiderman is your "friendly neighbour" and Batman is "The DARK KNIGHT" . Batman stories aint fun and greatest Batman stories werent fun either.
I don’t understand why people have to go against a different genre of movies to defend what they like. Why can’t I like both!? I enjoy good MCU movies. I like good DC movies. I like good movies. People know how to differentiate between genres and tones! Why be patronising?
Yeah you cant praise batman without bringing in MCU Mcu lives rent free in your head Shows how great MCU is and how trash and messy is DCEU. Even this movie isnt in the DCEU Meanwhile Marvel brought back 2002 OG spiderman and Andrew from Tasm. Dceu cancelled so many movies that cancelled ones are more than actual ones. The Flash is ruining everything affleck did as bruce not to mention he was trash still. Killing and marthaaaa See, any Tom dick and harry can criticise anyone U have to present valid points Even i like DC movies such as joker fark knight watchmen and shows like peacemaker. I said all this to show u how ridiculous u sound
*bone chilling FOR ME* I didn't realise all of you were me, I thought only i was myself. Thanks for speaking up. Or else life long i would've thought me is used by the speaker to refer to himself/herself. Now I know it refers to opinion of all.
I SO agree with Jammy, when he points out that we are so used to scrolling ahead on OTTs that we feel impatient with scenes which are slightly longer but so very crucial to build the world of the movie and the characters that reside therein. This movie definitely had such moments aplenty, but we NEED to stop chasing quick highs and cheap thrills and just let the movie draw us in. ALSO, please let's talk about the AMAZING sound design of this movie!! "Something in the Way" just gave me goosebumps!! Music is just sooo important to draw the audience into any movie. ALSO, the theatre where I watched it put the intermission RIGHT after the Penguin chase scene, where the Batmobile flies out of the fire, even before Batman walks out of the fire. It was SUCH a downer, !! Please let me know if this was the case for everyone. Are intermissions decided by the theatres or are they the same throughout?
Intermission is the only thing i hate when i watch movies in india! I live outside india and we don't have intermissions at all which is how a movie is supposed to be enjoyed

@@raja-jl9os hay na 🧐 agar subjective physical appearance directly or even indirectly facilitates high quality of complex analysis on the basis of systematic rational reasoning then what you expressed is absolutely sensible and logical 😁
@@originofaholespecies9389 Ok so u didn't like this movie & think Gunn can do a better job ?? I think u have urself explained why any of ur critique about this or any movie in general shouldn't be taken seriously
When i sat down to watch this movie what grabbed all my attention was the introduction of Batman showing how feared he is in Gotham from there on it never let my attention of the hook. When the movie ended i was in awe of how good the movie was and it's beautiful cinematography. To me this is everything i wanted in a movie a great script, great acting and Matt Reeves delivered.
Also the motto of the batman to strike fear in the hearts of criminals was also beautifully captured by Maat Reeves. Showing as a symbol of fear, Even in times watching the film truly myself got scared if he is lurking in shadows. Truly a masterpiece film
If you notice during the last fight there are two scenes where his appearance felt like a jumpscare. Batman didn't make an entrance like a hero he was suddenly on the screen hitting and fighting, it felt like a jumpscare and I would love to think that was intentional.
@@jonmartin9732 Then you didn't watch it, because every time he makes an enterance or even when just his bat symbol appears in the sky, the criminals either shit their pants (if they know who he is) and even if they don't immediately feel scared they know he's dangerous and regret it instantly
The opening monologue with the melancholy chord playing was really intense and and everyone's was captured. The beast trembling that batmobile created is enough for it to be considered one of the greatest cinematic movies Batman can get.
This was a fantastic flick. Yes, I would not have liked that portrayal of Bruce 10-15 years later. But year 2, a younger Bruce feeling utterly dejected by that horrible environment? Seems about right to me.
I agree the movie felt long, especially in the second half, but all the actors have done a terrific job. And the background score was also gripping and suited the atmosphere. Overall, I felt it's a decent reboot to Batman and I hope it goes uphill in it's sequels..
Everything felt perfect in this movie, batman being a human fighter, gadgets being realistic and hand made, batman being confused sometimes like a person in his shoes would be, it was just a very realistic take
Anyone who says it’s “boring” should check out the classic Batman comics from the 70’s and some of the animated films. Him being the worlds greatest detective in this film was excellent! I felt like I was watching his brain work and it was so interesting to see
The two most outstanding moments that gave me goosebumps were 1. The conversation between the riddler and batman in arkham, where riddler says that by putting on their masks he and batman became their true selves. 2. The moment in the final act when Bruce hears his words "I'm Vengeance" being twisted and used against him and realizing that this is not what he set out to do when he took up the mantle of the Batman!!
The trouble though is he spoke those words to a group of thugs and no one else, so it's seemingly implausible that those same words would be uttered by someone else. I get it, it's his own words coming back to accuse him in a way but so what? The context / foundation for those words were completely different for batman. Not sure why people think this is masterful by any stretch. Yes, most of the audience understand that batman receives a revelation that he needs to be more. Some of us aren't impressed. Before anyone says "You don't get it", I understand that the message of the film is essentially about finding redemption through failure. Once again, and this is brilliant because...?
@@chrispyp2331 I don't know which movie you saw if you didn't notice that half the time Selina calls him VENGEANCE and Ozwald taunts him for telling people he is VENGEANCE, so it's pretty clear that Bruce has made his puropse clear in the 2 years he's been moonlighting as Batman,that he IS VENGEANCE!! Yes he did understand that he still needs to grow but not in the way you think. You see batman never really fit into the trope of typical goody two shoes SUPERHERO and he himself never considered himself as one, he thinks of himself as an entity that instills FEAR into those who do wrong, a necessary evil who needs to exist to create a future where someone like the BATMAN is no longer needed and the reason why the scene is impactful and brilliant because the time movie is set in, he still hasn't fully comprehended his role as BATMAN and that scene made him realize he just can't continue to beat up bad guys, he needs to instill FEAR into them, if he really wants them to stop. The monologue during the rescue scene by Bruce made whatever i just said pretty clear so did you really watch the movie. Well if you aren't impressed it's up to you, as for me I'm throughly impressed 🙌
@@hasansyed8945 That's my point actually. For someone who, according to popular thought identifies himself as vengeance and has been doing so for 2 years, it doesn't strike you as odd that the halloweeners didn't know who he was? I also find it a stretch to believe that in these first 2 years of being batman, beating crims to a pulp, that at the same time he's developed a relationship with Jim Gordon, a cop.. Sorry, but I'm not close to being convinced that everyone knew him as vengeance, especially with the kind of antisocial low lifers who were following the riddler on the dark web. This is actually a minor point though. Accept the fact that other people, who do understand that this is batman year 2, aren't as impressed at the redemptive theme of the film. Relax, not everyone loves this film. Visually stunning, however the characters lacked depth. Yes, I do understand the character and the réalisation for the need to be more. I also get that through his failure he is presented with a chance to help civilians in a way that was new to new to him. I just don't regard this as a masterpiece. Neither do others.
@@chrispyp2331 The point you make about Gordon and Batman makes it pretty clear that you have never seen even a page of the comic, and its okay if you haven't, but if you know the movie is based on the YEAR ONE storyline and trying to point a flaw in the movie, which really dose't exist, then you should atleast do some research before trying to point it out cause in the year one storyline it was det. Gordon who actively sought out Batman as he realised that Gotham and it's justice system is pretty rotten and Batman was someone he viewed had the ability to change that. Coming to the first fight scene my previous comment makes it pretty clear that while Batman has been recognised by the people of Gotham including the criminals they don't really fear him. And do you really think a gang leader who likes beating up people for fun and uploads it to social media would outrightly recognise Batman knowing fully well that it might discredit him as a leader shows you don't understand the actions of even a minor character. And the antisocial low life you refer to, even if they were "anti-social" would never really watch any news or anything related to Batman huh?, someone who beats up criminals,shows your point really lacks logic. And who gave you the idea that this movie follows a redemptive storyline for Batman. The comics and every batman movie ever made has established the fact pretty well that Batman is a character who doesn't need redemption of any kind🤦. I have accepted that you don't like the movie and you don't have to, but using illogical arguments to justify your view isn't really working here.
@@hasansyed8945 Redemption is a type of salvation. The redemptive aspect is clear, or should be clear. His sudden change of self-perception, allowed him to réalise that to continue on his current path wouldn't end well for him, and by extension those around him. He'd likely end up dead, given his reckless behavior, so yes, there is a strong redemptive theme here in choosing a new path. I'm sure this is obvious to most, especially fans of batman. Also, you're upset over a fictional character?
Bale was great portraying the flamboyant Bruce Wayne but when it comes to Batman, for hardcore comic fans, he did not have the physicality to pull off Batman. The warehouse scene of the Dawn of Justice will forever be the greatest hand to hand combat scene in the Batman franchise, this Batman has great fight scenes too sticking true to no killing principle, Bale's Batman fails miserably in that one aspect
Why do people forget that the batman is about year 2 batman ... Action shouldn't be an issue at all ... That warehouse scene was exceptionally well but u can't compare both the movie plus I have to agree on the fact that Bale's batman was off with hand to hand combat ...
@@Dr_Harsh07 Bale's Batman looked like a cosplay now let's not kid ourselves. His utility belt was painted yellow lmao. The only reason we are biased toward him is because the trilogy is the epitome of superhero movies, and he is carried by Nolan's plot and Heath Ledger's acting. He is good, but pales in comparison to this performance of Pattinson. As for the warehouse scene, that's true. Batfleck was the best iteration of a physical batman, but Battinson is the overall package. I love that he keeps getting hit in fights which shows that he is still a beginner in the field and lacks experience, which adds a lot more weight to each fight scene. TDKR's right scenes were a joke at times, one such case was when Bale just punched the guy in the helmet at the end of bike chase and he just gets knocked out unconscious. In the warehouse scene, the goons attacked simultaneously and Batfleck needed to takedown the same guys, especially that Asian dude, a lot of times. In terms of combat, Batfleck takes the cake for now. In terms of overall performance (being Batman and Bruce Wayne) it's Battinson. In terms of getting carried, it's Bale.

After Twilight, Robert Pattinson has always been consistent with his performance throughout his career no matter how underwhelming or bad the movie was. I'm glad he deserves the mainstream recognition through movies like Good Time, The Devil all the Time, The Lighthouse and now knocking it out of the park as The Batman !
Thank you Jammy for clarifying to the people that this Bruce Wayne is damaged and hasn’t got over the death of his parents. And that’s why he’s so detached from society all the time. The best compliment I can give Rob is that he IS THE FUCKIN. BATMAN
Just came back watching this movie and trust me even in morning shows the inox is full. So many praise worthy scenes I always loved robert but this one is one of his best performances
The best description I can give for this Batman is that he "bleeds". Really bleeds. And each and every frame he is in exudes the same. Even Nolan and Bale weren't able to capture this raw, gritty, angsty version of Batman in line with the comics.

I just saw the movie today an I was pleasantly surprised to find that Batman seemed very human and vulnerable in this version compared to Nolan's iteration. But, frankly, I felt that this movie is a "slow burn" and therefore not for everyone
If you felt The Batman to be long and boring, it is. Everyone has their taste and instead of fighting, we should respect the opinions instead of imposing them on others.
It is long but saying it is boring is not an objective fact. I saw the movie with my family & not one person thought it was "boring". The movie is pretty well paced. I love how you contradict your "we should respect opinions" with your 1st statement itself.
Social media should never be taken seriously. They crapped on Robert Pattinson and now they love him. Nah keep that same energy. Never judge a film before it's even done filming. I'm doing this for The Flash too, whom is receiving the same amount of hate.
Whenever batman gives his entry to any scene in this movie they gave next level elevations....... When you witness batman every single time on screen with that mass bgm you'll get goosebumps for sure.... Every entry feels like introduction scene, & that was awesome experience.....
I loved the moment when he runs to the roof and to the edge looking scared and double thinking .That really shows how much he is new to this and how he is just a human in a Bat Suit .As we all know Batman plans his every move beforehand The entry The exit .The year 2 aspects has been done beautifully in this movie !!
@@gethighfly It means a batman who is still immature, lacks experience & needs to learn a lot since he is only in 2nd year of working as the Batman Snyder Batman had 40+ years of experience while Pattinson has had less then 2 yrs
Watched it today. This Batman is young portrayal and he is learning and completely utilizing the Detective skills instead of CGI action. Really excited for part 2 and 3
Big ups for having a static camera during fight scenes rather than copying fast cuts for action scenes. The static camera actions scenes were just (chef's kiss)
I totally agree with how Pattinson portrayed Bruce Wayne. He's trying so hard to make a change in the city but he's getting nowhere and now there's a serial killer making a huge scene. I don't see why he would take time out of his personal duty as Batman to go play Huge Hefner at a fancy cocktail party full of elites. I came to see the Batman not the "pretty boy" Bruce Wayne and i got exactly what I wanted. Love the details of the scars on him when he changes and the constant black eye make up. Very convincing touch.
The batman is not a superhero film, it is a fantastic crime thriller!! Robert pattinson has become my favourite batman!! This is the first live action batman who is portrayed as a detective!! Majority of the people are loving this film!!
The atmosphere, mood and the tone of the movie was really excellent. Some of the action scenes were also fantastic. But, I did find some issues with consistency and plausibility of the plot. Wasn’t it too easy for Batman to track down Seline Kyle (who is supposed to be really smart and covert in her operations) not just once but twice or thrice. Riddler, is outed by an anonymous caller tip! Really? Is this how a mastermind killer gets caught? Hanging out at a coffeeshop. Lazy writing. Also, how convenient to make the new mayor survive the dozens of sniper assailants? And what actually did the assailants really do? Too easy for the writers to make them incompetent. I find many more issues with the plot. Unfortunately, the final third of the movie was pretty weak. But, overall a decent watch. P.S. The background score was excellent. Edit: Also, Riddler who had been so thorough with his plans in killings chooses to send a physical mail to kill Bruce Wayne? Seriously? And, even when the bomb did go off it couldn’t even dispatch the person who literally had the bomb in his hand? Wtf!?

Coz you experienced how frustrating he was, which comics and movies won't make you feel that immersively engrossed... He is arguably Superior than Batman in fighting prowess and intelligence... He needs an Origin movie with as badass action sequences like the Winter Soldier movie from Marvel...
The problem is that the audience has just grown too accustomed to the tone of the MCU movies. They want some cheesy one-liners every 5 minutes, and expect the hero saves the day by the end. DC movies like Man of steel took a more grounded approach and were panned at the time of release. The day DC starts to replicate what Marvel is doing will be the day I'd stop watching comicbook movies altogether. They are kind of keeping the whole genre less repetitive.
As an ardent Batman fan I felt Batman 2022 is a very good movie, but not a masterpiece like some say. Matt Reeves got many things right according to comics, the Atmosphere, the feel of Gotham City, Batman's investigation, Selena Kyle, Penguin, Corruption, Poetic screen play, in short it was a different experience. Which felt good. However I felt story line neither that gripping not the Riddler that much terrifying. Bruce Wayne's charecterization was an under developed one. More than anything the action seens were pretty average to me except Batmobile chasing scenes. For me warehouse fight scene of Afflick in Batman vs Superman felt very superior. Though Pattinson delivered great performance he didn't look as formidable as Afflick in Batman's suit
Could agree more! Robert has fit in to the character of Batman so organically as opposed to the doubts I had before I stepped into the theatre. I am so very delighted with the new Batman.
I don’t think people should compare Nolan’s batman with this batman. Pattinson as Batman shows the world why batman is called the greatest detective ever. Both are masterpieces in their unique way. But Pattinson did it way better. I found my eyes glued to the screen throughout the 3 hours. Epic movie! Gonna watch it again in theatres.
most comic accurate batman film starting with batman narration felt like i was reading a comic book. this film is spectacular. With references from different detective movies. Matt revees directed the film so poetic.Robert and Zoe just killed in their roles. 2 hours and 55 min felt less to me🔥
Lol..pattinson's one note performance is weakest link of this movie..Comparing him with Christian bale is like comparing Ayushman khurana with Amitabh..bale's costume,voice and action were bad and his brilliant performance saved the moments ..ben afleck was best overall batman followed by Kaeton..pattinson is as overrated as this movie..this will not cross even 1 billion ..the hype and over enthusiam of dc fans will die down..Matt reeeves always promise a lot,his trailer editing sense+Music sense is good but his movies always fall short of greatness(check his filmography)..this is no exception..in fact this movie falls miles behind joker which was poor man's Taxi driver(great performance by pHOENIX) Ask Gunn to direct next set of DC movies..may be peacemaker or black adam can undo the DC curse..marvel is laughing on how many opportunities DC is missing
@@originofaholespecies9389 I'm not comparing Pattison's performance to anyone. Bale's performance was undoubtedly the best of all. And about Reeves i agree with you that he is not the director whom everyone recognises and his works haven't been blockbusters but i did great with this film. And yeah joker is just a mixture of King of comedy and taxi driver (exceptional performance by phoenix) nothing more. I really really hope that THE BATMAN do great in terms of buisness and not follow the line of Blade runner 2049🙏
@@sidharthjaiswal8398 I agree with you on everything except matt reeves..non recognition is not his problem..he still has shread of jj abrahams school of film making where he dwindles around whether to go full art mode or audience pleasing mode and fail to create memorable moment..apes trilogy looks good,feels good but it is neither part of great movies nor part of memorable fan pleasing movies..let me in is childish version of swedish predecessor..cloverfield had same issues..he is certainly better than snyder or jenkins but that's not saying much
@@originofaholespecies9389 this means that somewhere matt reeves have to improve his filmography whether it's the fan service part or the cinema part. Coz I also felt that action sequences in THE BATMAN could have been better or atleast more coz, majority of the superhero audience want this.
Watched today and was mesmeriezed, I dont mind slow paced movies. I was actually a bit scared by Batman in few scenes because how raw he was with his emotions and fights. The scene where riddler and batman converse was so amazing I JUST LOVED IT
I loved the film not boring But the run time was long but the references to future stuff and some past stuff were Also good. The shots, the batmobile was just awesome. Not only that, him being a detective was also good. It was almost comic accurate as well.
Nolan gave us the grounded gritty batman, zack snyder gave us the most tactical sci-fi fantasy batman, matt reeves gave us noir detective batman. All three fantastic. I still think this battinson and batfleck can be connected into a single universe if wb wants.
Heath ledger got some hatred from people for being joker but fans know what he is capable of I love his performance. If he was alive he already got signed for the role of joker movie
C'mon let's be honest Pattinson has been the best 'Batman', Bale has been the best Bruce Wayne and Affleck has been the most accurate Batman till date and has the most balance between Batman and Bruce Wayne.
That entry of Batman really was excellent, where all the mobs are scared and look into the dark with the Batman's monologue ending with "I'm the shadows!' just perfect batman portrayal!! 😍
This is one such superhero movie wherein i wanted the amazing action set pieces to end, and i get back into the story. Even after 3 hours i didnt want it to end. Its cinema at its best.
Absolutely loved it ! Matt Reeves captured Gotham’s Vibe perfectly, the intricate setups and the symbolism which it displays my favourite being the Batman lighting a flare to guide the people his transition to embrace the light while still being in shadows truly amazing moment
Blame WB. I'm not against random stuff. But they should let dceu to expand. I'm actually excited to see black adam and what all new characters it will bring.
I watched it twice in the cinema. Fuck what the critics say, it's a very immersive experience like no other. Best batman soo far. Anything before it is now considered trash. This is the most realistic batman
I watched the movie today and was blown away by it's awesome cinematography and BGM.. Pattinson is perfect as the detective Batman, still struggling to find his purpose and moral compass. This is the best Batman movie I've watched after The Dark Knight. Truly a dark suspense thriller by WB.. Reminded me a lot of another cult classic Zodiac..
Good to see people actually praising this movie instead of using this movie to degrade the MCU. It happened a lot with Joker and it always frustrated me when the fans are so keen on competition that appreciation of their own products go forgotten.
My screening was full and I hardly saw anyone get up to to to the toilet, which shows that people were riveted and through the whole thing and didn't want to miss anything. That's pretty impressive for a 3 hour movie
Christian Bale himself had said, Robert is a great choice and advised him to ignore what critics say.
Well its all positive reviews so far
So, he knew he would be criticised 😂
@@comment__ because in TDK heath ledger is also being criticized heavily when he is casted as joker, so bale giving some good advice to robb
@@comment__ Ledger also got criticised before the movie.now he is a legend for playing Joker
Robert Pattinson was fine. Unfortunately, the movie sucked 👎
Would highly recommend people to watch Se7en, Prisoners, and Zodiac before watching The Batman. The director Matt Reeves has payed homage to these cult detective classics emphasizing that this is the first detective live-action batman movie.
Chinatown too
And saw too
I have watched seven about 12 years back, not remember much , but ending was twisted, is Batman also like that?
Would really like if u make a short video on the review of the Batman if u will watch it in theatre as u are a fan of BATMAN
But this Batman is not half as thrilling as Se7en
As a batman fan, this was the first movie where they showed Batman as a detective and before the fancy gadgets, fancy car and before Lucius Fox. This was amazing, as he had to plan his fights and attacks.
Nolan also show that
@@ankansenapati3600 snyder also show that
@@ankansenapati3600 Na Nolan had Lucius Fox for "Bungee-jumping" ...
Yet he can't 100 bullets which is the part I didn't like
@@ankansenapati3600 nope nolan didn't show it quite much....Ben Affleck's version had a bit of detectivy vibe but the story's script was...well we all know how it was 🙃
The most underrated part of the movie is the sound design. The ominous menacing walk of Batman coming out of shadows, the engine of Batmobile roaring in the middle of street is just work of art.
I have had a love of movie soundtracks since I was a kid, and was in heaven all the way through this film. It was sublime.
@@suave-rider totally agree!
Bruh I watched it yesterday he blended in so well into the shadows it was mind blowing
Well they got nominated for best sound effects
Totally agree .... That sound before the violence is all they can create for the suspense 👌
In this movie you can actually feel the city Gotham. Whereas in Nolan’s movie it felt like Batman is in Newyork.
Except batman begins
The city feels like gotham in batman begins and give horror vibes too.

The build up to Batman's entry made me fall in love with the movie. Also the cinematography in this movie is class. People are used to quick action, jokes almost same story line in Superhero movies. This movie is for the people who understand, know and love "Cinema"

I believe The Batman will spark a very important discussion regarding film criticism.
I read a review on Rotten Tomatoes by a professional critic that calls this movie 'humorless'. My question is, so? How is that a criticism and not a choice of the film's tone?
Also, we cannot criticize a movie as 'too fast' or 'too slow' without any context. I have seen people have a single line critique, like, 'Blade Runner 2049 is too slow', again, how is that a critique?
I feel Martin Scorsese was right when he called MCU movies as Amusement Park movies and not cinema. I saw people complain about The Batman not having full blown action of sorts, and instead being a 3 hour detective movie.
We've become addicts to these superhero tropes of the third act of films being blind fighting and skybeams and just metal clanking 20 times per second, that we have forgotten movies altogether.
This comment right here.
I think it depends on what movies or cinema or tv mean for u, for me they’re just something that helps me get through a day because i experienced something on a screen I’ve never seem before so yeah i find it offensive when people say they don’t think marvel movies are real but that’s because cinema means something different to them, thats how people review and critic films, through they’re own lenses
Yea I don't understand why these "top critics" say it's too long or slow as a criticism 😂
Majority of critics are used to the same boring ass Marvel formula of mindless action and childish quips every 5 mins. There are always biased against DC movies and any form of artistic interpretation dosen't sit well with their minds. These people ultimately assume that all comic book movies need to be light hearted and 'fun' to be enjoyable, they don't give a damn about the plot at all.
@@Vengeance622 u really think reviewers care enough to be biased and shouldn’t they be biased against marvel considering that all the top directors hate marvel movies, maybe its just they’re opinions, obviously some of the reviews are idiotic but they’re not all wrong
I think for hardcore Batman fans like us, there couldn’t have been a better Batman movie. The characterisation of the year 2 Batman and Bruce Wayne is perfect. I loved all of it. The pacing was a minor issue for me but I can easily ignore it because it justifies its runtime. I believe the length can be the only turn off for mainstream audiences but I’m really happy that Matt Reeves didn’t compromise on his vision to cater to Non-Batman fans. Robert Pattinson is hands down the best Batman but the best Bruce Wayne is still Christian Bale for me.
Agreed! 👏
I have seen several movies this year where I kept looking at my watch, not for this.
Ben Affleck was Suprisingly good too. I had to go back and watch Batman V Superman, but the Ultimate Edition this time. That Batman was straight out of Frank Miller's Dark knight. Terrifying.
@@ajaxsid9034 B v S can only be truly appreciated in its ultimate edition. Ben Affleck was an impeccable casting choice in my opinion. He was let down by the studio and unjustifiably criticised by audiences. I really hope he gets to play it for some more time after The Flash releases.
@@rohantripathi9791 true man. Batffleck was a great casting choice. If only we could've see his solo film set in the Snyderverse, where he would've gone against Deathstroke.
I absolutely loved this movie. the biggest takeaway for me was, that this was a movie, it Felt like a movie of its own. it did not have the stereotypical superhero movie sequencing or tropes, and had just absolutely gorgeous cinematography. as for the length, I do feel that they could have chopped half an hour or 20 mins, but in the end it paid off. Robert Pattinson is my batman
Till the next Batman arrives...
The most comicbook accurate movie in DC. Props to Reeves, Pattinson and Turturro for giving us such a tremendous story

It's a coming of age story too if you weren't too busy noting things down to have your hateboner about. Also, "emo"? Lmao you saw one version of Wayne being a flamboyant playboy and a vigilante and decided that's just how he should be in all media? As I said before, he is figuring out his role in the society. Notice how he says "I'm vengeance" at the start of the movie and by the end decides "vengeance doesn't yield anything" or something like that. But hey if you don't WANNA see merit where it's due no amount of explanation is gonna suffice. This guy didn't even have all his gadgets he's famous for and yet you wonder why he waltzed into the club like that😹😹.

People who have seen Robert Pattinson's acting skills in The lighthouse or in Good Time already knew he is going to be the best Batman ever. It's sad to see that some people still criticize him for his role in Twilight.
Yeah and they criticise him for the role.. Like what is he supposed to do with a role like Edward Cullen? People can't differentiate the actor and the role.. Just bcz of one role years ago.. Pattinson is forever "weak", "girly", "gay" lol.. Its stupid
@@ashikdennis9202 nah man no one called him girly or gay. He was more catered towards the female audience and the chics were crazy about him. After Twilight ended we got to see his real talent.
Still wasn’t the best batman imo. He was a great batman but his bruce wayne sucked ass imo.
@@Vedantindian2012 umm maybe cz he is depressed? Lol
What's amazing about Pattinson is that he actually was the best part of the Twilight movie series. But his portrayal of the the Dark Knight is mesmerizing
I also had preconceived notions about Robert's acting but his movie 'Good Time' changed my mind for good. Since then he has impressed us with stellar performances in Lighthouse & now in The Batman.
The Lighthouse was it for me! I had no doubts after that film!

Pattinson has completely done justice to the caped crusader. The dark tone of the movie perfectly captures the Gotham that is in shambles…loved the performance, specially by the Riddler…although he had less screen time and too good..
Actually this what Batman is supposed to be. World's greatest detective with shit load of money, fancy gadgets and silent but deadly demeanor.
The Riddler had to tell the Batman his plan after Batman fell right into his trap and the Riddler gave himself up. How did this movie portray the World's Greatest Detective?
@@HCTG69 you think beating the riddler's plan is the only way he can prove to be the world's greatest detective. That's wrong. He makes mistakes as a young Batman, still, he is the most intelligent Batman in live-action. In the long Halloween comic, he doesn't find out who the real villain is, does that make him any less intelligent. No. He will make mistakes he will fight no matter what, sometimes it will succeed sometimes it will fail. He will try to be better. That's what Batman is. A breath of fresh air in a world of generic superheroes and superhero movies.
@@HCTG69 The point of this entire movie was exactly that. A younger and still angry Bruce was mindlessly fighting crime to feel some sort of repentance for his parents death. Only to realize his 'vengence' isnt what will take the city out of the state it is but only inspire other psychos like the Riddler. This is the establishing film that gives Bruce the reason to become a real hero and not just a vengeful vigilante. Dont think in such a black and white way...
The movie felt like a graphic novel. Most comic accurate batman till date.
If you have watched "thelighthouse" or "Good Time", you know what Robert Pattinson is capable of!
Yeah.. those were amazing. Even the the Rover and lost city of Oz were good. Acting as submissive low IQ person when you're on the peak of a heart throb phase was one gutsy move.
The devil all the time 😍 his role as a pastor was too good. 👍
What Batman caught my fancy for, right since childhood, is that this was a superhero without any supernatural powers to boast of and seemed vulnerable compared to a Superman or Spiderman. But he more than made up for it with his supreme intelligence, analytical skills, technological expertise, gadget wizardry and quick wit in the most trying of situations. That's why Batman defined an entire era for me.
SAME
he is RICH!!!
He even defeated the Whole Justice League by himself and has contingency plans for every meta human on earth.
we live in a time when even a fabulous movies like batman is being criticised. this is a epic movie bringing something very different to a superhero genre.
Only in India because of dumb people today I watched the movie. U want to guess how many people were present? 8 only. 2 Couples for kissing and all... 4 others including me lol. But I enjoyed so much and didn't want to end it
It beings bad criticised by critics who are mcu a** lickers and they are too afraid some thing from dc will come and take over their god rdj/iron man.
to me, what made Pattinson's Batman so special is that batsuit isn't his mask, but it's the Bruce Wayne.

After years and years of some awesome Batman films, it feel like we finally got the definitive version of the character that's totally inherent of the psychological aspects of it. The best thing was how it represented Gotham, like some kind of diseased substance slowly poisoning the very integrity of the law and order of the place and how it takes a toll on its inhabitants.
Couldn't have asked for a more apt Batman movie. Reeves just nailed it with the character arc.
The best thing about this movie is that it stays true to what it intended to be. It wasn't going to be a fun action flick featuring a superhero like what MCU brings nor it was a movie which had many angles to explore with a two hour of run time like most of the DCEU movies.
It was like watching a mystery/thriller movie with a twist that we had a Super Hero doing the investigations then a cop.
Exactly
Also it has a freaking Nirvana song in it. That already sold the movie for me. Also Matt Reeves said that Bruce Wayne was inspired from the very talented but tormented Kurt Cobain. People can also check out Montage of heck which is an amazing documentary about the late, great Kurt Cobain.
Lets hope this batman does not kill himself with a shotgun though. hey.....wait a minute......hey.....
It is quite interesting how both the Twilight stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, trolled the most at one point of time during the Twilight saga era, have redeemed themselves as actors. Pattinson with The Lighthouse, Tenet, etc and Stewart with Spencer. Never imagined back in the Twilight days that these two would ever be taken seriously as compelling performers.

Problem is nowadays that people think MCU's Stark's death is the "darkest" moment comicbook movies should go and it should have a joke in every 3 mins doesnt matter how the situation is. Thats why Spiderman is your "friendly neighbour" and Batman is "The DARK KNIGHT" . Batman stories aint fun and greatest Batman stories werent fun either.
No one said Tony's death was dark. It was sad yet glorious.
I don’t understand why people have to go against a different genre of movies to defend what they like. Why can’t I like both!? I enjoy good MCU movies. I like good DC movies. I like good movies. People know how to differentiate between genres and tones! Why be patronising?

I SO agree with Jammy, when he points out that we are so used to scrolling ahead on OTTs that we feel impatient with scenes which are slightly longer but so very crucial to build the world of the movie and the characters that reside therein. This movie definitely had such moments aplenty, but we NEED to stop chasing quick highs and cheap thrills and just let the movie draw us in.
ALSO, please let's talk about the AMAZING sound design of this movie!! "Something in the Way" just gave me goosebumps!! Music is just sooo important to draw the audience into any movie.
ALSO, the theatre where I watched it put the intermission RIGHT after the Penguin chase scene, where the Batmobile flies out of the fire, even before Batman walks out of the fire. It was SUCH a downer, !! Please let me know if this was the case for everyone. Are intermissions decided by the theatres or are they the same throughout?
omf i thought i was the only one!
Intermission is the only thing i hate when i watch movies in india! I live outside india and we don't have intermissions at all which is how a movie is supposed to be enjoyed
For me it was just after the car chase ended. Good timing by cinepolis 😆

When i sat down to watch this movie what grabbed all my attention was the introduction of Batman showing how feared he is in Gotham from there on it never let my attention of the hook. When the movie ended i was in awe of how good the movie was and it's beautiful cinematography. To me this is everything i wanted in a movie a great script, great acting and Matt Reeves delivered.
This movie is absolutely what I needed to see. Impactful.
Forgettable to me
Also the motto of the batman to strike fear in the hearts of criminals was also beautifully captured by Maat Reeves. Showing as a symbol of fear, Even in times watching the film truly myself got scared if he is lurking in shadows.
Truly a masterpiece film
If you notice during the last fight there are two scenes where his appearance felt like a jumpscare. Batman didn't make an entrance like a hero he was suddenly on the screen hitting and fighting, it felt like a jumpscare and I would love to think that was intentional.
the death stare was awesome!
You'll get to witness the Best batman jump scare moment in BvS Ultimate Edition. Trust me it's good.
No villain was scared of him in this movie,
@@jonmartin9732 Then you didn't watch it, because every time he makes an enterance or even when just his bat symbol appears in the sky, the criminals either shit their pants (if they know who he is) and even if they don't immediately feel scared they know he's dangerous and regret it instantly
The opening monologue with the melancholy chord playing was really intense and and everyone's was captured.
The beast trembling that batmobile created is enough for it to be considered one of the greatest cinematic movies Batman can get.
This was a fantastic flick. Yes, I would not have liked that portrayal of Bruce 10-15 years later. But year 2, a younger Bruce feeling utterly dejected by that horrible environment? Seems about right to me.
Wait what’s that word you used, oh yeah horrible. Yeah I agree it was horrible.
I agree the movie felt long, especially in the second half, but all the actors have done a terrific job. And the background score was also gripping and suited the atmosphere. Overall, I felt it's a decent reboot to Batman and I hope it goes uphill in it's sequels..
Everything felt perfect in this movie, batman being a human fighter, gadgets being realistic and hand made, batman being confused sometimes like a person in his shoes would be, it was just a very realistic take
Anyone who says it’s “boring” should check out the classic Batman comics from the 70’s and some of the animated films.
Him being the worlds greatest detective in this film was excellent! I felt like I was watching his brain work and it was so interesting to see
The two most outstanding moments that gave me goosebumps were
1. The conversation between the riddler and batman in arkham, where riddler says that by putting on their masks he and batman became their true selves.
2. The moment in the final act when Bruce hears his words "I'm Vengeance" being twisted and used against him and realizing that this is not what he set out to do when he took up the mantle of the Batman!!
The trouble though is he spoke those words to a group of thugs and no one else, so it's seemingly implausible that those same words would be uttered by someone else. I get it, it's his own words coming back to accuse him in a way but so what? The context / foundation for those words were completely different for batman. Not sure why people think this is masterful by any stretch. Yes, most of the audience understand that batman receives a revelation that he needs to be more. Some of us aren't impressed.
Before anyone says "You don't get it", I understand that the message of the film is essentially about finding redemption through failure. Once again, and this is brilliant because...?
@@chrispyp2331 I don't know which movie you saw if you didn't notice that half the time Selina calls him VENGEANCE and Ozwald taunts him for telling people he is VENGEANCE, so it's pretty clear that Bruce has made his puropse clear in the 2 years he's been moonlighting as Batman,that he IS VENGEANCE!!
Yes he did understand that he still needs to grow but not in the way you think. You see batman never really fit into the trope of typical goody two shoes SUPERHERO and he himself never considered himself as one, he thinks of himself as an entity that instills FEAR into those who do wrong, a necessary evil who needs to exist to create a future where someone like the BATMAN is no longer needed and the reason why the scene is impactful and brilliant because the time movie is set in, he still hasn't fully comprehended his role as BATMAN and that scene made him realize he just can't continue to beat up bad guys, he needs to instill FEAR into them, if he really wants them to stop. The monologue during the rescue scene by Bruce made whatever i just said pretty clear so did you really watch the movie. Well if you aren't impressed it's up to you, as for me I'm throughly impressed 🙌
@@hasansyed8945 That's my point actually. For someone who, according to popular thought identifies himself as vengeance and has been doing so for 2 years, it doesn't strike you as odd that the halloweeners didn't know who he was? I also find it a stretch to believe that in these first 2 years of being batman, beating crims to a pulp, that at the same time he's developed a relationship with Jim Gordon, a cop.. Sorry, but I'm not close to being convinced that everyone knew him as vengeance, especially with the kind of antisocial low lifers who were following the riddler on the dark web.
This is actually a minor point though. Accept the fact that other people, who do understand that this is batman year 2, aren't as impressed at the redemptive theme of the film.
Relax, not everyone loves this film. Visually stunning, however the characters lacked depth. Yes, I do understand the character and the réalisation for the need to be more. I also get that through his failure he is presented with a chance to help civilians in a way that was new to new to him. I just don't regard this as a masterpiece. Neither do others.
@@chrispyp2331 The point you make about Gordon and Batman makes it pretty clear that you have never seen even a page of the comic, and its okay if you haven't, but if you know the movie is based on the YEAR ONE storyline and trying to point a flaw in the movie, which really dose't exist, then you should atleast do some research before trying to point it out cause in the year one storyline it was det. Gordon who actively sought out Batman as he realised that Gotham and it's justice system is pretty rotten and Batman was someone he viewed had the ability to change that.
Coming to the first fight scene my previous comment makes it pretty clear that while Batman has been recognised by the people of Gotham including the criminals they don't really fear him. And do you really think a gang leader who likes beating up people for fun and uploads it to social media would outrightly recognise Batman knowing fully well that it might discredit him as a leader shows you don't understand the actions of even a minor character.
And the antisocial low life you refer to, even if they were "anti-social" would never really watch any news or anything related to Batman huh?, someone who beats up criminals,shows your point really lacks logic. And who gave you the idea that this movie follows a redemptive storyline for Batman. The comics and every batman movie ever made has established the fact pretty well that Batman is a character who doesn't need redemption of any kind🤦. I have accepted that you don't like the movie and you don't have to, but using illogical arguments to justify your view isn't really working here.
@@hasansyed8945 Redemption is a type of salvation. The redemptive aspect is clear, or should be clear. His sudden change of self-perception, allowed him to réalise that to continue on his current path wouldn't end well for him, and by extension those around him. He'd likely end up dead, given his reckless behavior, so yes, there is a strong redemptive theme here in choosing a new path. I'm sure this is obvious to most, especially fans of batman. Also, you're upset over a fictional character?
Bale was great portraying the flamboyant Bruce Wayne but when it comes to Batman, for hardcore comic fans, he did not have the physicality to pull off Batman. The warehouse scene of the Dawn of Justice will forever be the greatest hand to hand combat scene in the Batman franchise, this Batman has great fight scenes too sticking true to no killing principle, Bale's Batman fails miserably in that one aspect
Exactly
nerd
Why do people forget that the batman is about year 2 batman ... Action shouldn't be an issue at all ... That warehouse scene was exceptionally well but u can't compare both the movie plus I have to agree on the fact that Bale's batman was off with hand to hand combat ...
@@Dr_Harsh07 Bale's Batman looked like a cosplay now let's not kid ourselves. His utility belt was painted yellow lmao. The only reason we are biased toward him is because the trilogy is the epitome of superhero movies, and he is carried by Nolan's plot and Heath Ledger's acting. He is good, but pales in comparison to this performance of Pattinson. As for the warehouse scene, that's true. Batfleck was the best iteration of a physical batman, but Battinson is the overall package. I love that he keeps getting hit in fights which shows that he is still a beginner in the field and lacks experience, which adds a lot more weight to each fight scene. TDKR's right scenes were a joke at times, one such case was when Bale just punched the guy in the helmet at the end of bike chase and he just gets knocked out unconscious. In the warehouse scene, the goons attacked simultaneously and Batfleck needed to takedown the same guys, especially that Asian dude, a lot of times. In terms of combat, Batfleck takes the cake for now. In terms of overall performance (being Batman and Bruce Wayne) it's Battinson. In terms of getting carried, it's Bale.
@@arishemthejudge6780 Lol..pattinson's one note performance is weakest link of this movie..Comparing him with Christian bale is like comparing Ayushman khurana with Amitabh..bale's costume,voice and action were bad and his brilliant performance saved the moments ..ben afleck was best overall batman followed by Kaeton..pattinson is as overrated as this movie..this will not cross even 1 billion ..the hype and over enthusiam of dc fans will die down..Matt reeeves always promise a lot,his trailer editing sense+Music sense is good but his movies always fall short of greatness(check his filmography)..this is no exception..in fact this movie falls miles behind joker which was poor man's Taxi driver(great performance by pHOENIX)

After Twilight, Robert Pattinson has always been consistent with his performance throughout his career no matter how underwhelming or bad the movie was. I'm glad he deserves the mainstream recognition through movies like Good Time, The Devil all the Time, The Lighthouse and now knocking it out of the park as The Batman !
Yes acting 😍
The club doorway scene with the twin thugs was funny af
Thank you Jammy for clarifying to the people that this Bruce Wayne is damaged and hasn’t got over the death of his parents. And that’s why he’s so detached from society all the time. The best compliment I can give Rob is that he IS THE FUCKIN. BATMAN
Negative reviews for Batman are brought to you by the people who criticized joker for not having enough jokes
"For peomoting incel" to be accurate. And it became symbol for the protestors in Israel. Critics are long gone.
Except the Joker was actually boring

Just came back watching this movie and trust me even in morning shows the inox is full. So many praise worthy scenes
I always loved robert but this one is one of his best performances
the more I think about the film the better it becomes I truly think this is probably the best comic book film ever made
one of the best for sure!
"Watchmen" takes the cake I guess
“It's not just a signal; it's a warning.” ❤ Hearing this line in the theatre gave me chills!
The best description I can give for this Batman is that he "bleeds". Really bleeds. And each and every frame he is in exudes the same. Even Nolan and Bale weren't able to capture this raw, gritty, angsty version of Batman in line with the comics.
Didn’t see blood when a bomb exploded on his face. Not even a scratch but ok…

Imagine if David Fincher made a
Batman movie but it was censored by PG-13 demands. That's how this felt 🤌🏻
i love fincher but he's not capable of making a dark pg-13 film, that batman would've been even more drab. this was perfect from reeves who already showed that rating doesn't matter for excellent storytelling, for war of the planet of the apes, 10 Cloverfield lane and also The Batman
The Batman was the best ever batman movies as a comic fan . This is what batman is all about.
Not the best batman but yes the best detective batman..christian bale has raised the standards so high that its very difficult to match him
@@prateikpatil7200 dude if ur are from comic background u know that dark knigh series was amazing but just a buss and overrated as everyone says Nolan was the best at that. But But I say no
I just saw the movie today an I was pleasantly surprised to find that Batman seemed very human and vulnerable in this version compared to Nolan's iteration. But, frankly, I felt that this movie is a "slow burn" and therefore not for everyone
If you felt The Batman to be long and boring, it is. Everyone has their taste and instead of fighting, we should respect the opinions instead of imposing them on others.
It is long but saying it is boring is not an objective fact. I saw the movie with my family & not one person thought it was "boring". The movie is pretty well paced. I love how you contradict your "we should respect opinions" with your 1st statement itself.
Social media should never be taken seriously. They crapped on Robert Pattinson and now they love him. Nah keep that same energy. Never judge a film before it's even done filming. I'm doing this for The Flash too, whom is receiving the same amount of hate.
Affleck too showed the same..he was slammed but now he is accepted and celebrated
Whenever batman gives his entry to any scene in this movie they gave next level elevations.......
When you witness batman every single time on screen with that mass bgm you'll get goosebumps for sure....
Every entry feels like introduction scene, & that was awesome experience.....
I loved the moment when he runs to the roof and to the edge looking scared and double thinking .That really shows how much he is new to this and how he is just a human in a Bat Suit .As we all know Batman plans his every move beforehand The entry The exit .The year 2 aspects has been done beautifully in this movie !!
What does year 2 mean?
@@gethighfly It means a batman who is still immature, lacks experience & needs to learn a lot since he is only in 2nd year of working as the Batman
Snyder Batman had 40+ years of experience while Pattinson has had less then 2 yrs
@@anantsharma6365 oh I see. I was thinking it meant this Batman was portraying a certain version of Batman from the comics. Thanks.
This movie has so many poetic scene... Single scene defining stories, emotion and depth of characters
Watched it today. This Batman is young portrayal and he is learning and completely utilizing the Detective skills instead of CGI action. Really excited for part 2 and 3
Big ups for having a static camera during fight scenes rather than copying fast cuts for action scenes. The static camera actions scenes were just (chef's kiss)
Loved Robert for his small role in Tenet…the level of confidence he exuded in that movie was enough for me to imagine him in the role of Batman…
It was not small though
Dude small role? Were you high while watching the movie??? Or perhaps you saw the wrong movie cuz he was clearly the second lead in it!
i think you meant supporting role
I totally agree with how Pattinson portrayed Bruce Wayne. He's trying so hard to make a change in the city but he's getting nowhere and now there's a serial killer making a huge scene. I don't see why he would take time out of his personal duty as Batman to go play Huge Hefner at a fancy cocktail party full of elites. I came to see the Batman not the "pretty boy" Bruce Wayne and i got exactly what I wanted. Love the details of the scars on him when he changes and the constant black eye make up. Very convincing touch.
The best batman to come out till now.. The starting years of Batman as a detective jst engrossed me throughout. Matt reeves is jst brilliant.
The batman is not a superhero film, it is a fantastic crime thriller!! Robert pattinson has become my favourite batman!! This is the first live action batman who is portrayed as a detective!! Majority of the people are loving this film!!
More of a detective Batman, giving all comic book vibes!
Masterpiece cinematography and slow yet impacting storytelling!
One tone? He's like THE most expressive Batman ever, his eyes speak his every thought and emotion.
This is exactly what I thought.
The batmobile engine revving scene alone...damn the whole theater was cheering for that scene alone
The atmosphere, mood and the tone of the movie was really excellent. Some of the action scenes were also fantastic. But, I did find some issues with consistency and plausibility of the plot. Wasn’t it too easy for Batman to track down Seline Kyle (who is supposed to be really smart and covert in her operations) not just once but twice or thrice. Riddler, is outed by an anonymous caller tip! Really? Is this how a mastermind killer gets caught? Hanging out at a coffeeshop. Lazy writing. Also, how convenient to make the new mayor survive the dozens of sniper assailants? And what actually did the assailants really do? Too easy for the writers to make them incompetent. I find many more issues with the plot. Unfortunately, the final third of the movie was pretty weak. But, overall a decent watch. P.S. The background score was excellent.
Edit: Also, Riddler who had been so thorough with his plans in killings chooses to send a physical mail to kill Bruce Wayne? Seriously? And, even when the bomb did go off it couldn’t even dispatch the person who literally had the bomb in his hand? Wtf!?
I think Riddler wanted to get caught
Your observations are on point but can't you appreciate the Gotham they created which was lacking in past DC films
@@dhairyasaparia8289 Of course, when I said the mood and atmosphere of the film was great, Gotham city is a big part of it.
Pattinson literally nailed it....Riddler was also very menacing.
As a fan of the Arkham game series and the Nolan trilogy, this is one of the greatest things DC has put out in the recent years.
Sad that most of them credit only Nolan trilogy, being unaware of critically acclaimed Arkham Series games, where you completely feel like Batman exploring the immersive and eerie Gotham City....
I felt this movie did justice to comics. But definitely not to Arkham Games. Actions sequences were way better in comparison to this movie.
@@achuthp.k4567 Mahn!! Would we ever get a Batman vs Deathstroke movie?? This is what I'm genuinely waiting for if we focus about the badass action side of Batman...

@@PremChand-Salva Me too brother. Apart from Warehouse fight in Bat vs Sup I don't think film makers really explored Batman's fighting skills. May be this is why I love to play Arkham Games. For me fight choreography of Death stroke vs Batman in games were far better than any of Batman's films
@@achuthp.k4567 Absolutely bruh!! Parrying, Countering and defeating the Annoying Deathstroke in Hard mode in Arkham Origins made me a diehard fan of Deathstroke.... Coz you experienced how frustrating he was, which comics and movies won't make you feel that immersively engrossed...
He is arguably Superior than Batman in fighting prowess and intelligence...
He needs an Origin movie with as badass action sequences like the Winter Soldier movie from Marvel...
The problem is that the audience has just grown too accustomed to the tone of the MCU movies. They want some cheesy one-liners every 5 minutes, and expect the hero saves the day by the end. DC movies like Man of steel took a more grounded approach and were panned at the time of release. The day DC starts to replicate what Marvel is doing will be the day I'd stop watching comicbook movies altogether. They are kind of keeping the whole genre less repetitive.
As an ardent Batman fan I felt Batman 2022 is a very good movie, but not a masterpiece like some say. Matt Reeves got many things right according to comics, the Atmosphere, the feel of Gotham City, Batman's investigation, Selena Kyle, Penguin, Corruption, Poetic screen play, in short it was a different experience. Which felt good. However I felt story line neither that gripping not the Riddler that much terrifying. Bruce Wayne's charecterization was an under developed one. More than anything the action seens were pretty average to me except Batmobile chasing scenes. For me warehouse fight scene of Afflick in Batman vs Superman felt very superior. Though Pattinson delivered great performance he didn't look as formidable as Afflick in Batman's suit
Could agree more! Robert has fit in to the character of Batman so organically as opposed to the doubts I had before I stepped into the theatre. I am so very delighted with the new Batman.
I don’t think people should compare Nolan’s batman with this batman. Pattinson as Batman shows the world why batman is called the greatest detective ever.
Both are masterpieces in their unique way. But Pattinson did it way better. I found my eyes glued to the screen throughout the 3 hours.
Epic movie! Gonna watch it again in theatres.
most comic accurate batman film

Watched today and was mesmeriezed, I dont mind slow paced movies. I was actually a bit scared by Batman in few scenes because how raw he was with his emotions and fights. The scene where riddler and batman converse was so amazing I JUST LOVED IT
I loved the film not boring
But the run time was long but the references to future stuff and some past stuff were
Also good. The shots, the batmobile was just awesome. Not only that, him being a detective was also good. It was almost comic accurate as well.
Nolan gave us the grounded gritty batman, zack snyder gave us the most tactical sci-fi fantasy batman, matt reeves gave us noir detective batman. All three fantastic. I still think this battinson and batfleck can be connected into a single universe if wb wants.
Heath ledger got some hatred from people for being joker but fans know what he is capable of I love his performance. If he was alive he already got signed for the role of joker movie
C'mon let's be honest Pattinson has been the best 'Batman', Bale has been the best Bruce Wayne and Affleck has been the most accurate Batman till date and has the most balance between Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Exactly Affleck is the perfect batman i just hoped he would have got his solo movie

That entry of Batman really was excellent, where all the mobs are scared and look into the dark with the Batman's monologue ending with "I'm the shadows!' just perfect batman portrayal!! 😍
This is one such superhero movie wherein i wanted the amazing action set pieces to end, and i get back into the story. Even after 3 hours i didnt want it to end. Its cinema at its best.
Absolutely loved it ! Matt Reeves captured Gotham’s Vibe perfectly, the intricate setups and the symbolism which it displays my favourite being the Batman lighting a flare to guide the people his transition to embrace the light while still being in shadows truly amazing moment
I think Batman is Great
But only Criticism from me is that
Marvel Gave us 23 movies interconnected but DC gave us random stuff
I guess DC are Comfortable in Random Movie for building universe they need someone like Kevin fiege
Blame WB. I'm not against random stuff. But they should let dceu to expand. I'm actually excited to see black adam and what all new characters it will bring.
"A dark gloomy city..."
In my experience, few things brighten a city up as much as a fresh out of the box mushroom cloud.
However is the film I want to take a moment to appreciate Jammy .He is probably the most consistent and honest reviewer!!🙂🙂
I guess people criticising the new Batman movie are the ones who love Selmon Bhai's Oscar worthy movies. Like Radhe.
I really loved how the movie shows some people react differently to Batman and Bruce Wayne like the twins and the cop 😂
I loved that all the three times he goes to the pub his reception is different!
The experience in IMAX was once of its kind. The rev of the engine shaking the seats I won't forgot it soon!
I watched it twice in the cinema. Fuck what the critics say, it's a very immersive experience like no other. Best batman soo far. Anything before it is now considered trash. This is the most realistic batman
Most realistic Batman,ironically still not the most comic book accurate Batman.absolutely loved this film
I watched the movie today and was blown away by it's awesome cinematography and BGM.. Pattinson is perfect as the detective Batman, still struggling to find his purpose and moral compass.

This movie is a masterpiece. Definitely will be watching it again
Good to see people actually praising this movie instead of using this movie to degrade the MCU. It happened a lot with Joker and it always frustrated me when the fans are so keen on competition that appreciation of their own products go forgotten.
I feel Pattinson being soo good steals some of the spotlight from Paul Dano. He was a villian I enjoyed watching in a long time
My screening was full and I hardly saw anyone get up to to to the toilet, which shows that people were riveted and through the whole thing and didn't want to miss anything. That's pretty impressive for a 3 hour movie
