The Batman is a stunning and unique creative endeavor, combining a neo-noir detective aesthetic with a Fincher-esque cat and mouse plot to draw the viewer into this new, 'grounded' take on Gotham. It's got style and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about where they're going with this version of Batman; but overall the film was quite disappointing. Very disappointing actually. The wingsuit scene was cool though... I guess.

Didn’t Batman travel the world for almost 20 years (age 8-26) training so he wouldn’t make these mistakes? I usually think of Raizo in Ninja Assassin, Yoda/Darth Sidious/Mace/Anakin/Obi-Wan in Star Wars Prequel films or Adrian Veidt in Both Watchman film and comic and RE5 Albert Wesker for combat/movement and Intelligence. They are Legendary combatants they don’t need armor because they know that only the most legendary combatants can touch them. Batman is in that class as a legendary combatant and intellect without the force. If you want even add Cumberbatch/Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes for NO TECH IN COWL DETECTIVE SKILLS and Intelligence on top of everything mentioned above .Make Batman more vampiric/shinobi like again. This is so when another legendary combatant or Intellect like Ra’s Al Ghul, Bane, Hugo Strange or Deathstroke appear we can have a compelling threat that can actually defeat him not gangsters and thugs with crowbars. Lastly the fact that this Batman couldn’t deduce that those photos were taken from THE SAME DAMN HIGH ANGLE really pissed me off because even I was able to figure that out why couldn’t the world’s greatest detective?
The classic backstory where Bruce's parents were tragically murdered in a random act of violence just for money by the type of person they were trying to help hits harder than the newer conspiracy theory angle about Thomas Wayne.
I find it really funny that Penguin actually honks and calls for people to get out of his way during the car chase. Sure, he just wants to get away but it by default makes his actions more considerate about the collateral damage, even including “I got you!” shortly after.
This batman felt like snake from MGSV. Cool, moody, and completely devoid of character or motivation.
Not interested in your take.
I am glad to hear a constructive criticism on that movie. Since its release, I haven't seen or heard a single person say something other than ''iT's BoRiNg''. So congrats to you. I personally love this movie, but from now on, I will look at it with more awareness. Thanks!
I liked this film in spite of its flaws, but I will admit that there were two moments that really ruined my immersion: Penguin causing that whole freeway pile-up with no commentary about the myriad bodies that chase left in its wake and Riddler blowing up Batman only to later act as though they were supposed to be collaborators later on.
Screenplay allegedly was stolen so could explain why movie has no voice.
I saw "The Batman" in theatres and thought it so good and cool, etc. Now, just from reading your description alone, I genuinely couldn't tell you the plot of this movie. I will say, the next couple of sentences are from my memory; please don't hate on me. The Riddler didn't really feel like the MAIN villian, like how is the dude who literally killed someone in the first 30 seconds of the movie on the backburner? I did not like Catwoman in this version, and didn't really undersrand why Batman had to help her. Forgive me, but I just remembered that THE PENGUIN WAS IN THIS MOVIE???? I THINK??? I'm missing a big chunk of this movie but I can't exactly place my finger on it...was it after the debate stadium exploded? Wasn't the Joker in this movie as well, or am I stretching??? Someone help me...
The infamous karma cuts are a nice touch
That was my very first thoughts when I first saw the movie. "Did Batman actually accomplish anything in the movie?" Also the pacing seemed to drag on so much that I wonder how more people aren't bored to death by it.
I know its so pedantic and shallow but I HATED that the only use of the Batarang in the whole was to cut a rope. The utility belt of endless gadgets is one of the most defining features of Batman as a character and the gadgets in this movie are so lame to me. Batman just fights everyone by tanking hundreds of bullets and punching them a lot, whereas I feel like most Batman iterations can fight goons with so many different weapons, as he has one for every situation, but this Batman just has nothing and just eventually wins. Also I agree Kevin Conroy is the best Batman, Rest in Peace.
This video was perfect, it captured all of the issues I’ve brought up in friend groups with the film in a thorough way. Great stuff
I rather enjoyed the film. I similarly enjoyed his style of combat as well, and that's understanding that it isn't Batman's usual approach. Now, I'm huge on armor actually being functional in a movie, so that's likely a factor. But i believe that the fighting style makes sense for the depiction.
I really do enjoy & appreciate your video essays. Not only your conclusions but your route to said overall conclusions. Great work xXxXx 😊xXxXx
I mean tbh besides him blowing that glass up like that you're definitely reaching lkke very far bro you're going to dislocate your arm 😂
Last I recall, this is early Batman...like year two I think
Your analysis is great. You defo got an a star for English literature in school😂
The Second Son karma birds was a great thematic touch.
You're right about "The Batman" imperfections, but the movie's neo-noir look, gritty storyline, and unique psychological depiction of Batman make up for all of them. I like it, anyway! Still, I would have given his villains their comic-book gadgets, so their fight scenes would be evenly matched. The Penguin, Joker, and Riddler needed more screentime and combat with Batman, for greater comic book accuracy and exciting fight scenes. Their iconic sci-fi tech and super intelligence would also explain police dependence on Batman to solve supervillain cases and apprehend paranormal suspects. Locked-room murders with matter transmitters and rayguns might stump forensic scientists! A suspect with a robot-convertible battle car and powered armor like a space marine may be too much for a SWAT team to bust! More advanced technology, such as force field-assisted powered armor, such as Iron Man or Black Panther wear, cloaking devices, scanners, and stun rays, would also logically explain his survival and code against killing. I would have made the movie R-rated, for greater realism and to better fit the Neo-Noir/gangster/slasher/conspiracy thriller plot and villains. As a detective, this would allow Batman to do autopsies and psychological profiling, like in CSI, Sherlock-Scan people like in "Sherlock", and remotely-scan gory crime scenes. It would also make gangsters, serial killers, youth gangs, and terrorists more menacing if they shoot people in slow motion, and cuss like sailors. The Riddler's murders would look scarier if they looked like "Saw" or "Silence of the Lambs!" Hallucination and flashback scenes would better show both Batman's and the Riddler's mental health. It would allow the movie to explore both Bruce Wayne's playboy lifestyle and the Batman/Catwoman relationship with kinky nude erotic thriller and teen sex comedy bedroom scenes.
