- This is my spoiler review essay for The Batman! DC's The Batman, set in Gotham City, is truly a crime genre film. It's directed by Matt Reeves and stars Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne), Zoë Kravitz (Selena Kyle / Catwoman), Paul Dano (Edward Nashton / The Riddler), Jeffrey Wright (Lieutenant Gordon), Colin Farrell (Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin), John Turturro (Carmine Falcone) and Barry Keoghan (The Joker). This is my favorite DC Comics film adaptation.

That phone call. Trying to call Alfred to warn him. When have we EVER seen Batman look absolutely TERRIFIED? That was almost painful to watch.
Reminded me of the scene from Breaking Bad where Walter calls Skyler to ask for the money. The tension wasnt as great but it was up there. Really thought Alfred was gonna get killed.
I was the edge off my seat when that happened. There were so many plot twist and turns
What I loved is how he literally dropped the fake deep voice persona and sounded like a normal panicking/scared person.
And the fact that he later acknowledged that to Alfred on how he wasn’t afraid to die, but he was afraid of losing the ones he cared about.
@@johnsilver6316 dude, his voice breaking “character” and sounding terrified had my jaw drop wide open in the theater. I was in shock. I don’t know if that was a call made by Matt Reeves or Robert, but that… was an absolutely BRILLIANT call to make in having Batman’s voice break like that.
Bruh I sweating that entire scene. I’m like no way there gunna kill Alfred
Anyone else notice how when Penguin was tied up after he was captured by Batman after the chase scene he was waddling back and forth like a penguin, was a pretty funny touch
It was really. I just watched it again last night and there are little moments like that, that somehow still brought levity to this dark dark movie.
Yep. I did.
I noticed the same thing.. Penguins reference 😀
YES!!!
Yup
The movie started with Batman being the 'Fear' and ended with him being the 'Hope'. Gave me goosebumps.
"False Hope"
I liked the idea of him being fear and vengeance and that he hunted criminals. I still want him to be a symbol of fear for criminals though.
Begins did the same thing
@@AmBobbyMudda he can be hope for the good people and fear for the bad though
a different take on the Batman - he hasn't really been one for 'hope'.
Him letting go and cutting the cord, falling into the water, then re-emerging was definitely symbolic of a rebirth/ cleansing. I really hope we get a sequel as I’m excited to see where Pattinson/ Reeves take the character next
fyi, there is two other films being written right now (It's official! Reeves trilogy!), and two other series, penguin and gothom PD.
@@evolicious According the Matt Reeves Gotham PD has currently been shelved by WB for the Penguin and Arkham Asylum series
Oh my god…. I never realized this is what that scene represents.
Wow.
Yes! Was looking for a comment like this. He cuts his own umbilical cord and then immediately has a baptism right after realizing that he has to become more than just vengeance.
@@devinhajjari815 if colin farrel plays it, i’ll finance the dam series
My interpretation of the citizens in rubble scene is that he wasn't reaching for the kid specifically, he was just trying to help *everyone* and the kid is the one who trusted him first and everyone else followed suit.
Exactly my thoughts! It's a really moving scene and I feel this Bat-verse has the potential to develop the Symbol of Hope idea more than what TDK Trilogy did... I mean where Rises ends, The Batman can expand :D
Yes exactly...everyone else was hesitant to trust him and were scared, to say...but the kid is the one who trusted him...
The kid going first made sense as he'd seen Bats in person at the first crime scene, and wasn't as shocked as the new mayor at his presence there
Well guys I am not a big hotshot reviewer or a RUclipsr, just a guy with opinion and a camera. If you could I would be glad if you could tell me did you like my take on The Batman and stay safe
sounds about right honesly.
This film was just amazing. I can definitely see why some people would put it above the dark Knight and I wouldn't blame them.
FUN FACT The Riddler had deathtraps and played mind games in THE ANIMATED SERIES !! The animated series Riddler came out before SAW (jigsaw) & se7en !!! I would say for the "LOOK" they went for a more modern serial killer styled updated HUSH costume ! The CALENDERMAN is more like ZODIAC KILLER !
Court of Owls will be a part of the 3rd movie cause Matt wants Mr. Freeze leading up to court of owls and Talons ! In comics Mr Freeze help court of owls keep their deadly assassin Talons cryogenic sleep /animated suspension (as cold is their weakness and makes them slow.... & that talons are like living dead who won't rot if put in cryogenic sleep). Talons later in future come after Mr.Freeze as Court of Owls see him as a major threat !!!
But otherwise i would love to see characters like Mad Bomber& Grey Ghost, Proff. Pyg, Hugo Strange, Dr Death, Phantasm & Mr Bloom!
They'll change their minds as soon as they watch TDK again. It's still the king. This is a close second.
This is not as good as The Dark Knight. Anyone who says so is simply being reactionary because the movie is brand new and everyone’s overly excited over it right now.
It's was good but dark knight still takes the cake
I’m from Chicago so nothing tops the Dark Knight in my eyes, but this tops Dark Knight because of the story telling. I love crime noir Batman
The ending of Batman carrying the female to the stretcher while the song "something in the way" was playing give me so much chills. It is pure art.
Also to watch him in daylight gave me chills! 🤯
😂😂 wow that was art
And when she grabbed his arm not wanting him to go and he nods letting her know it’s okay.
🤣😆🤣😆
@@fazalahmed6337 Yup. It's shows Batman was there all night helping. Love this fucking movie.
For me, Pattinson's performance straight up shot him as the BEST LIVE ACTION BATMAN for me. From his body movements to specially his eye movements. Absolutely loved it. 🧨🧨🧨🧨
I totally agree, compared to previous actors he's the only one that good at conveying his expressions and emotions with his eyes through the mask.
Agree what was mentioned in this video about Pattinson, his acting was awesome AF
Christian Bale will always be the best BATMAN.
@@shweta5884 yea different opinion, that's good 🐧
@@shweta5884 If you go with the mindset of "will always be the best" then you are not giving the next actor or movie any chance. Always be open to change. Then, if you still prefer Bale, no problem.
The thing I noticed about Robert Batman/Bruce Wayne was , he is so confident as Batman but so shy or unsure as Bruce Wayne. Best performance without saying anything.
It’s hard for me to comprehend that this movie exists, truly. I was in awe for the entire runtime, and struggle to find anything to not like about the film. Robert is Batman, it’s just perfection, and I honestly think it’s my favorite movie ever
Wow!
best part was the score.
@ Colin Wallace...if this is what you consider your favorite movie, you need to watch other movies dude
@@stactionsmedia3318 what he meant to say is " my favourite comic book movie""
@Nickokino He didn't do the score for Spider-Man 2, he just did the score for the MCU Spider-Man movies
A guy next to me was balling his eyes out at the scene between Alfred and Bruce in the hospital I've honestly not seen someone cry so hard at a movie in awhile, it was lit.
balling? lol
Lol the one where Bruce was being a real jerk to him out of nowhere?
@@ikejugend it wasn’t out of nowhere tho?
@@jayjitsuu to Alfred it technically was cause he just wakes up from being unconscious and Bruce just starts an automatic conversation with you lied to me
@@amputechture1012 Agreed…lol
The Alfred and the Batman relationship is so subtle but its so good.
It’s short but sweet
But does not arrive at the unique chemistry of Bale and Caine
@@tonyvelli4324 they had 3 movies tho maybe Pattinson and serkis will eventually evolve
The first time I saw it, I had to be sure I'm understanding everything because it's a complex plot so I couldn't really focus entirely on Batman and how he moves, how he reacts, his eyes as you mentioned but then the second time I solely focused on him and you just love the movie more when you really see the Batman scared, doubting himself, just being vulnerable. This movie definitely needs to be watched atleast 2 times, one for the whole plot, one for just Robert's performance.
And I agree that throughout the movie, you can see his eyes are moist. Teardrop just about to come out but it never does. He played Batman with his eyes.
What was so complex about the plot? There was hardly any detective in it. Plus cringe Riddler made everyone laugh in the audience
@@ikejugend not in our viewing. Everyone was quiet.
@@Chetann93 they were probably asleep, dude 😂
Robert performance. And the riddler. Lord Jesus those two on screen together was nothing but magic.
The scene in the end when the woman grabs Batman’s hand that she feels safe with him, and Rob’s acting with his eyes and a little nod to the woman, is so so so touching and what a scene.. and something in the way is cherry on top in that scene..!
""Aaaaannnnnddd the Oscar goes to Robert Pattinson's eyes!!!""""
I love that Catwoman, when she's asking Batman who he is and why he wears a mask, asks "Or are you hideously scarred?" and Batman just gives a quiet, "yes." Physically, he's been scarred through his training and the last two years of patrolling, but it's his emotional scars that forced him into a mask. It's really good writing!
I 100% agree. Going into the film I knew I was going to enjoy it, but I wasn’t thinking it was gonna become my favorite comic movie book movie of all time 😂
TDK is better
@@darkknight9086 best joker movie ever!
@@darkknight9086 both great 🐧
@@dairyproducts2775 best movie ever fun and more thrilling not boring
@@darkknight9086 not more thrilling. it’s an action movie so I would hope it’s more fun, also I agree it’s not boring. Like I said the best joker movie I’ve ever seen!
I absolutely loved this movie, I didn’t want it to end. Pattinson was absolutely perfect as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. You can see he’s mentally at a roadblock where he doesn’t value life in any way and when he can’t be the Batman he just seems like an awkward human being who doesn’t really know how to act or even stand normally in a social environment, he just wants to be a total recluse, a massive introvert and just feels like he’s exposed and vulnerable. As Batman he played an incredibly strong silent type that’s easily the smartest in the room and can be perfectly clam in most situations, but then can instantly flip that and lose his shit unleashing all the rage that he’s bottling in to the point where he struggles to stop himself when someone mentally gets the better of him and starts teasing him
Right when it ended, I already missed being with him in Gotham and solving mysteries and crime- that's how you know it's one good movie
Finally someone who gets the character! 🤩👍
Seems like great, nuanced scripting / acting is lost on most of nowadays' movie goers who grew up watching overacted stuff such as most movies starring Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen etc.
🧐🙄
@@elfsieben1450 the nightmares of Batman and Robin still haunt me 😂
@@queenb2450 ong I just want to watch it again😭
The only thing I dislike about this video is the complete lack of discussion on the most terrifying scene of the entire film. Penguin and his goons are having a gunfight with gordan and selena, then all of a sudden this ear-shattering scream of a jet turbine spooling in a dark corner just makes them all stop and look. You don't really see anything but these flashes of light, and the characters have no damn clue what it is. It's by far the most goosebumps-inducing noise ever, and you see the immense fear in everyone's faces as they shit in their pants.
I didn't have a lot of hype and excitement for the new batmobile, but that scene just made this new batmobile my most favorite. I need to go see this movie again, just for that scene!
It's even better with every viewing! seen it 3 times now! This film delivers the gritty noir style crime thriller I've always wanted to see in a Batman movie. It's a true detective story that explores the corruption of Gotham in much deeper way than we've ever seen on the big which extremely impressive following Nolan's trilogy. Of course all the performances are top notch and Robert Pattinson KILLED it as Batman! I think he succeeded in silencing many of the ignorant idiots and naysayers that were bringing up Twilight who clearly hadn't seen any of his work outside of that franchise.
This version of Batman isn't interested in putting on the billionaire playboy persona yet. His only focus is being Batman. That's why even in the funeral scene he doesn't say much and barely responds to anyone because he's a man on a mission. But it'll be cool to see him evolve into a more traditional Batman that manages the public image of Bruce Wayne.
FUN FACT The Riddler had deathtraps and played mind games in THE ANIMATED SERIES !! The animated series Riddler came out before SAW (jigsaw) & se7en !!! I would say for the "LOOK" they went for a more modern serial killer styled updated HUSH costume ! The CALENDERMAN is more like ZODIAC KILLER !

Talons later in future come after Mr.Freeze as Court of Owls see him as a major threat !!!
But otherwise i would love to see characters like Mad Bomber& Grey Ghost, Proff. Pyg, Hugo Strange, Dr Death, Phantasm & Mr Bloom!
@@sharmu5338 Agreed
Absolutely, after subsequent viewings it just get better and better
a mix of Nolan's the Dark KNight and the Batman would be awesome - with a touch of Keaton's Gotham flare.
The Jabs summed this one up perfectly, I 100% agree with this review. I would also like to add, what stood out for me the most above everything else is the believability factor. I could literally just close my eyes and believe that somewhere on Earth Gotham City exists and Batman is doing everything he can to save it.
Yesterday was my second viewing and the only gripe I have is why didn't they make this movie before. Matt Reeves deserves all the applause possible.
Can we just appreciate that they gave us a movie where they showed the criminals being scared and looking into the shadows. “I’m not in the shadows……I am the shadows.” Then hearing his heavy footsteps, calm, steady, then you see him emerge. Worth the price of admission just for that.
I definitely agree with the focus on his eye and the acting that Pattinson was able to do despite wearing a mask that covers most of his face. I walked out of there feeling that Pattinson might have done the best performance as Batman ever. I did feel like the movie was really long but I can't wait to see it again.
This version of Batman is definitely my favorite. This version of Gotham is also my favorite by far. This world feels so grim and comic book-y, I just hope they will do something cool with the joker. I don’t need it to live up to the previous jokers, I want it to be its own unique thing.
This is my opinion but Robert Patterson is my favorite Batman hands down this movie was a masterpiece 🍿🎥 and he need a best actor award
Robert is good but he can't match Ben Affleck's physique, let alone Christian Bale's unique aura
@@tonyvelli4324 let sequels come boy...he has just started 😎😎
I understand that people are complaining about the run-time and lack of action sequences in the movies like other Superhero movies but for those true Batman fans, this movie was such a treat for them.
We got what was least expected yet impressive adaptation of Batman
True fans?They are fans that just didn't like the run time and wanted more action. That's just a difference in taste and opinion. You enjoyed the movie in its entirety and that's awesome. But there's no need to degrade other fans or invalidate their point of view because it doesn't align with yours. People experience things differently. Take care.
I loved that it’s 3 hrs long.
@@raebeingreal2170 …except it was clear from the promo material what type of movie this was and people whined about it being a different movie when Matt Reeves made it clear multiple times that this was NOT going to be a typical superhero movie. He also made it clear that he intended for this early Bruce Wayne to not have developed the playboy persona yet - people complained that Bruce Wayne wasn’t this charismatic playboy in the film. He also made it clear that this was a noir film - people complained about it being too dark. Then, it was announced a while before the film premiered that it was going to be an almost 3 hour long film - people complained about the length after watching the film. Then, Reeves also said very clearly that this Batman puts emphasis on him being the “world’s greatest detective” and that it was going to be more of a detective film than an action film- people complained about that contributing to why the film didn’t have fight scenes every 2 seconds. I mean, all the complaints show is that people don’t pay attention and expect Marvel film qualities out of every superhero movie. Speaking the truth about people’s lack of attention skills isn’t being “degrading”. It’s being honest. If people payed attention, they would’ve known what type of film this was from the start and wouldn’t have made any of those complaints. “True fans” pay attention to things like that.
Spoiler: I can't exactly explain why but that last scene where he saves all those ppl and leads them through the flood was sooo good
Yeah.. the overhead shot of him holding the flare and leading the people to safety was my favourite shot in the whole movie.
@@MrSavethetiger that shot was amazing
Riddler said he doesn't know how it is to be a common person. My interpretation is he went down to be with and handle calamity like how a common person goes through
Superman is known as a paragon of hope. But this is a first time, they show batman like that.
That girl holding batman's arm was soo heartwarming. We can see batman's happiness even though he didn't smile.
When a movie starts off by giving you chills, ends by leaving you in tears and makes you stick around during credits to enjoy all the music, you've done something correct. Bravo. I loved it so much and I have to keep going back to watch it.
I love how even though you give credit to Matt Reeves’ direction, you acknowledge that it truly is Robert Pattinson’s acting chops that serve this character so well in this film. I have seen some people get upset at others for complimenting Pattinson’s performance in the film and replying “credit to Matt Reeves for an amazing Batman” and while that’s true, people can’t forget that it’s a collaborative thing between director and actor. Because for that matter, by the logic THOSE people go by - this would apply to ALL films and there is no point in the entire “best actor/actress” category in award shows if all we are going to do completely credit a director for an actor’s performance. A director can direct 15 people to do the same exact scene and the actors would all do it in their own way. Matt Reeves wanted Robert Pattinson for this role, WROTE this role for him in mind after seeing “Good Time”.. so yes the actor playing it does make a huge difference and some people need to stop pretending all of its greatness of the character lies on only Matt’s shoulders. Pattinson really did do amazing and he is now my favorite live action Batman. I feel like it won’t be an Oscar contender, not because I don’t think it has the chops - because it does, but the Oscars honestly really only pay attention to films released during and after September. The Batman has been released so early on in the year that by the time award talks start happening later, it will be drowned out by other films that came out in that period. They always call that period “award season” for a reason… which sucks bc I really do think Pattinson deserves an Oscar nom (he honestly deserved one years ago for Good Time and the Lighthouse) and this film does too. But it’s early release date may have hurt those chances.
Agreed! I feel like a lot of people underestimate the contribution of an actor’s performance, if they’re allowed to have creative freedom. I wanted to emphasize that last part because in the Twilight films, the directors and the producers didn’t let him act the character the way he wanted to. There was an interview with Howard Stern where Pattinson explained that it got to a point where his agent flew in during a lunch break to tell him to stop whatever he was doing or otherwise, he was going to be fired that day. So, everything was basically at the mercy of the director and the production team, which ended up falling flat (that and also those films had bad scripts and bad source material). I’ve heard that after Twilight, Pattinson made a conscious effort to choose his projects carefully where his performance won’t be under the control of any committee. For Batman and pretty much all his other performances, you can tell he had freedom with what he could do with his character. Ex: it was Pattinson’s idea to change the sequence at the beginning where he beats those goons. Originally, he was going to say “I’m vengeance” right after one of those goons asked who he was, then beat him down. Pattinson wanted to beat him down first, then say “I’m vengeance”. He also added those 2 extra punches at the end of the beat down sequence. It worked perfectly. He deserves a lot more credit. Kudos to Reeves for allowing him to do that! Pattinson does a similar thing with all his other characters. Ex: I read not too long ago that he created his character’s backstory in “The Rover” and made the decision to have the makeup team make his teeth look rotten because his character’s mental deficiencies would’ve made him neglect his teeth. He also used his lips to hide his character’s teeth at some points for that reason, which added a bit to the speech impediment. Dude’s a genius, imo. I know I couldn’t do it. 😂 Learning all this behind the scenes info has definitely solidified him as one of my top 5 favorite actors.
I don’t know about an Oscar nom for this, as I think it has too many systematic things with the Academy stacked against it, but we’ll see. It sucks that the chances of being nominated for an Oscar means having to fit within a very specific but arbitrary box, even down to the release date. Why can’t it just be based on quality alone??? Things like release date, the actor needing to be “seen” when playing the character, bias against superhero flicks, etc. shouldn’t affect it. Those reasons are why Paul Dano and Colin Ferrell probably won’t be nominated or win, either. Paul Dano especially is a SUPER underrated actor.
Dude, that beginning and ending monologue and the arch that Batman has throughout the movie is amazing… there are so many small but profound scenes, symbols, etc. that makes this movie so much deeper than what meets the eye on initial viewing.
The Batman isn't just a Crime Thriller Detective movie imo.
It's a highly emotional and grounded Superhero movie. We get to see the flaws, emotional depth and character development of "The Batman" and that's what I found the most impressive.
he'll be more like bale's batman in the sequel, thats what the ending of 'hope' hinted at, the same theme of the nolan films.
The first time I watched the movie I liked it, but LOVED it after the second viewing. I think the first time around I was too busy trying to follow all the clues/plot and trying to keep up with all the names and characters to keep from being confused. With the second viewing all that was already established, so I could focus more on the acting, the character development, and the smaller details and I was able to connect with it emotionally. I just hope people who are on the fence will give it a second try.
Cannot wait to see it again!
You are one of the best reviewers I have seen on this movie and I am so appreciative that you actually took the time to understand the movie that Matt Reeves and the rest of the crew were trying to make.
So many reviewers are out there, disappointed that it wasn't THIS or it wasn't THAT. They were all excited to see a Batman movie that we've never gotten before and then when they finally get it, they're all upset that it was TOO different. You stated very well how this was true storytelling at it's finest. Thanks again for your great video.
Man, the intro to the movie...... So so good 🔥🔥. When that light hits the sky and you see the faces of the criminals. When he says,"They think I'm hiding in the shadows. I AM THE SHADOWS." So good. The Batman, the story, the Cinematography, the action, the batmobile, the Riddler, Catwoman, penguin, everything was on point. So good. Omg how can I leave the music?? Perfection! So Batman-y. This soundtrack really feels like it was made for Batman. Everytime it played, everytime he emerged from the Dark, I was gripping on to my seat, I was shouting inside and I wanted to shout out so badly.
It looked like the animated series of batman is exactly put into the real life. Great job by Matt reeves🙌🏻
Matt Reeves already said in an interview it's not the gun that killed his parents. It's just a knife and a clever way to attach a gadget. Great review, I totally agree this should be nominated at least for many categories.
What? Batman doesn’t use knives it’s his batarang that forms his chest logo
@@quietdemon8138 No he uses it as a knife to cut the electrical wire in Gotham Square Garden. He never throws a baterang in the movie. Also, Matt Reeves in an interview said it's a knife.
I walked out of the theatre stunned. That was the best Batman I've ever seen.
Great review, completely agree with everything! 👍🏾 But I thought he really was trying to reach for the hand of the mayor, but they were afraid of him. The kid then showed them that there was nothing to be afraid of that’s why he was the one who reached for the Batman first.
I’m not sure if I’ve missed reviews in the past but the way you’ve formatted these last few Batman videos have been quite stellar… Awesome job
I really love the final scene in the hospital between Alfred and Bruce was in tears when they held hands. I mean damn man. this Alfred is not like the others but he fucking cares. And now that him and Bruce crossed that threshold It’s gonna be great to see them grow
The Joker scene wasn’t a nod to a sequel, it was a way to show that crime is always brewing in Gotham. Still a little weird tho
Matt Reeves mentioned the joker scene wasn't a sequel set up. He has no plans as of now to put the joker in the sequel. He said that scene was the completed story arch for riddler where he doesn't feel defeated anymore, he's proud of himself, realizes he doesn't need Batman bcuz he does have a friend and has regained hope in the same way (and on the flip side) that the people of Gotham have hope by the end of the movie and also proves what Catwoman said to Batman in their final scene. That Gotham is going to get worse. Batman has inspired his villains to go darker and work together.
@@akshaym7859 It would be cool though, to see Barry Keoghan's fully realized version of the Joker down the line. Although i think they should try something new and NOT making him the main antagonist, more like a catalyst.
It just shows how much Marvel has broken people's brains and conditioned us to perceive movies in a certain way.
@@bluepearl_22 very true
I hated the laugh. Anybody else feel the same?
If Black Panther can get nominated for Best Picture this 100% should since it’s such a better film in every sense
Definitely!! That's true.
Yes it is
Black Panther got nominated only because of political agenda.... it's a poorly made film
Black Panther got nominated for the important social commentary it made, not for cinematography or anything that normally gets a film nominated. That said, I think this one deserves a best picture nom
Black Panther did not get nominated because it was a good film, it got nominated for other reasons and we all know it. Not saying it was a bad movie, but definitely not deserving of a best pic nom. The Batman however is definitely deserving. Unfortunately it came out at a very bad time. So early, that even the previous year's Oscars haven't taken place yet. So there is a good chance the voters have already forgotten about the Batman in a year.
I hope they do one more movie with Pattinson. He played a year 2 Bruce Wayne/Batman so well and I think he can totally deliver on a more seasoned version of his character. Absolutely loved this movie.
I want him to play Batman for the longest time. Kind of like how Kevin Conroy has voiced hin for the longest time.
@@ishaankumar3895 He could probably play the roll up until his mid 40s. He’s playing a live action Batman and it’ll start taking a toll on his body, so I’d say he’s got some time. Way different than voice acting.
@@TCT24 Hasn't he signed up for a trilogy. So there's at least 2 movies and maybe some other ventures
He's signed for a trilogy so he's def returning.
@@shouvikdey maybe he will show up in spinoff show 🐧
This is by far the most comprehensive review of The Batman I've come across yet. Take a bow, Jaby. Loved it!
After hearing how seeing The Batman a second time affected your feelings about the movie, I am now planning to go again. You always have such an interesting take on things. Awesome job!
Saw it earlier today and was completely blown away. Never thought anything would top the TDK as the best comic book movie ever made to me, but this did it. Almost blew off the rest of my day to watch it back-to-back. I'll watch it several more times before it leaves the theater.
Lmao ya'll are just victims of the moment. Movie was just fine, wasn't great. Doesn't even come close to Nolans trilogy IMO
@@sheriffdraws8789 That's your opinion, and TDKR was flat out terrible. Using your logic, you're just a victim of nostalgia.
@@dy120481 In no way possible way was The Dark Knight Rises “flat-out terrible”. You’re simply being a hyperbolic over-exaggerates.
@@kurtrivero368 I'm sure not. It was long, boring, full of massive plot holes and turned Batman into a whiney brat. If the movie was even decent then we'd be looking at the best trilogy ever but instead we got a steaming pile of shit to wrap things up. A truly bad film.
Every batman related movie to come out becomes "the best movie ever" until we see the box office
After seeing this movie twice now, I have to say that this is my favorite Batman movie so far. I think that Pattinson pulled off the best rendition of the character to date. I like that this Batman is so realistic. All of his tech was believable and looked like something he and Alfred conjured up themselves.
When I first saw the joker scene I thought it was a sequel set up too, I did some research and Matt reeves didn't mean for it to be a sequel tease and just a tease for the future of Gotham, so that made me feel a bit better and I actually enjoyed the seen the second time around
Same here. Marvel has broken everyone’s brains.
If I were to write a review about this movie, I should just transcribe this video. We share the exact same opinions about this film. I've seen The Batman five times now. I never did that with The Dark Knight. There's something about this movie that just keeps pulling me back to it. There's an emotional core within it that no other Batman movie has ever had and for some reason, that's resonating with me.
And props to you for mentioning that voicemail scene. You can see the dread in Selina's face that she has to hear this again. Then hearing her friend scream like that and getting completely choked up hits me as well. The sound of that scream sounds so authentic, tragic, and terrified.
What an amazing movie. Just get rid of that unnecessary Joker scene and it's a 10/10 for me.
I've seen the movie 4 times. It's the only time I have ever done that for a movie. Each time I enjoyed the movie more. The acting is incredible
I like how Jaby keeps moving in different location each time he talks
I loved that so much about this essay! Bravo Jaby!!
It's like a compilation of thoughts.
I swear I had a few doubts on some scenes from trailers or TV spots, but after watching the movie everything fits so perfect, almost like putting together pieces of a puzzle
I felt the same exact way. I’ve seen it three times now, and I’ve grown to love/appreciate the movie more after every viewing, which is kinda strange.
I LOVED this film, and it REALLY was a FILM! Waaaaay more than a comic-book adaptation has ever been. And my ONLY critique on it was the Joker scene, I 100% agree w/ you it was unnecessary & felt tacked on or sequel bait. Again, that is my ONLY beef, I agree that the rest of this is Oscar worthy. The cinematography was so beautiful & the music was so eery & sensual & dark & SO fitting for a Batman movie. I ❤️the crap out of The Batman, worth every bit of the wait & im sorry to say I’m extremely glad Pattinson took the role
Maybe it was just a cameo and that’s all, they can have joker be already captured by Batman prior to the events of this movie. I hope they go that direction and explore other villains. And I can totally see Batman beyond coming from reeves as well
The car chase scene gave me so much anxiety and that muscle car is insane! I absolutely loved the film and can't wait to see it again.
I love that there’s so much show and very little tell, like when Batman sees that Riddler acolyte trying to kill Catwoman and gives himself a shot of adrenaline (or was it venom?) and beats on that guy until others need to stop him. You know he did that because he cares about Seline Kyle, and not one word was needed to show us how he feels about her. Their relationship in this movie is the best version of that, hands down.
You crushed this review like Pattinson crushed his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne. I agree with damn near everything you said. Earned my sub.
Oh...and I hope it wins Best Pic as well. But like you said, no clue what else it will be up against.
I can see The Batman win oscar for cinematography honestly, there are some extremely gorgeous shots in the film.
it didn't win anything - when have the Oscar's been for any super hero film. The Dark Knight should've won best film that year - easy, and it didn't.. This should've gotten honorable mention for cinematography and my gosh - how was the Penguin - no mention tho
No
Holy crap. This review really catapulted my opinion of your channel. I mean it’s a fun channel to watch normally, but this was a passionate, lucid, well thought out, arrogant opinion, which is exactly what this movie needed in a review. It needed somebody who was not pandering to an audience, but really firmly and forcefully expressed their opinion and their visceral reaction to the film. this is good stuff. And it’s spot on. And it’s on point. 👍
That batmobile is absolutely a monster, that engine rumble gives me goosebumps 🔥
This film absolutely deserves oscar nominations. Production design, cinematography, sound design, and make up specifically.
I also agree, my least favorite thing was the joker scene. I hated it. But overall, it’s my favorite Batman film and up there on my favorite films list honestly.
those are minor oscar nominations though. it may not win any of them. it wont win get any in the key categories. Nicolas cage's latest movie is likely to win an oscar.
@@1nalh No Oscar nomination is minor. There is no film without the work of those in production design, cinematography, sound design and make up.
This movie is so grounded, that I actually on some level worried about Batman dying. After he takes that full shot to the chest (and damn... I mean, it didn't penetrate, but that had to at least crack a few ribs. Breathing would not be fun after a shot like that... Hence him hanging like that.) and is hanging there, I'm like, if he falls, that's going to kill him. When has falling ever been a danger to Batman? He falls, he glides. But this movie - it could take place in our world, it's that grounded to while I knew, he's Batman, they're not killing him, I was actually worried about him in the moment.
The very end where he and Selina are driving side by side to go off separate ways with the look back in the mirror just makes you feel so much for his Batman character. It doesn’t have your happy ending for the hero but yet a more serious and somber one
Maybe he should have met with Selina and Alfred in Florence.
Unfortunately could not connect with any of the characters in TDK triology and my friends have always given me grief about it. The action was great but the story and character development just didnt do anything for me. So when I was going in to watch The Batman inspite of all the hype around it, I wasnt expecting to like it, let alone love it!! I was so overwhlemed with this movie that after my first watch, I came out of the cinema and bought the ticket for the next available time which was immediate. 6 hours of my life watching back to back that I do not regret and will be watching again this weekend. Evertything about this movie was just well done!!! It left me speechless and wanting more. So I am with you, this is the the best batman movie..period!! Btw, first time on your channel and love your review.
What CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN A 7 DAY SPAN -_-
This movie featured the most alive Gotham and I loved the fact how straight forward it was to comics. Please read the Long Halloween comic, you will appreciate the movie even more.
It featured the dirtiest Gotham of all time. It looked like a dark college door room after a hard night of partying. Even the wealthy neighborhoods looked like azz.
@@dasecretformula6179 yup that’s Gotham
This is one of the best looking and thought out reviews I’ve ever seen great job!!
I was never a Batman fan, but still saw all of them...After I saw this one, I was blown away. Couldn't believe how well done it was.
It's strange how you summed up and highlighted all that I particulartly adored in this movie so accurately. I've watched nearly all reviews of the Batman in the last couple of weeks, and yours is just hitting all the beats that stroke me the most. Thanks! I am also anticipating its recognition in the Oscars race.
I agree with the "sequel thing" part. But damn the movie is easily one of my favourite superhero movies of all time!
2years of wait finally ,this is my best batman movie ever..
i love evry second of the movie..
"They think I'm hiding in the shadows... but I AM the shadow"
this line got me goosebumps..so awesome..
I heard someone talk about Batman not killing in a thought around the chase scene. It was presented as though Batman caused the truck flip. But it was Penguin who caused the truck spin (I got you) but with what you said: it shows the flaws of Batman told throughout the film. When he began chasing Penguin he had tunnel vision in tracking down who he believed to be the rat. He reacted with everything from a tunneled vision perspective all movie. Even in his relationship with Alfred.
Also, Matt Reeves said the joker scene wasn't a sequel set up. He has no plans as of now to put the joker in the first sequel or not.
He said that scene was the completed story arch for riddler where he doesn't feel defeated anymore, he's proud of himself, realizes he doesn't need Batman bcuz he does have a friend and has regained hope in the same way (and on the flip side of the coin) that the people of Gotham have hope by the end of the movie and also proves what Catwoman said to Batman in their final scene. That Gotham is going to get worse. Batman has inspired his villains to go darker and work together.
100% agree. This movie was glorious!
SPOT ON. The movie is amazing. My advice, take time to analyze after viewing. The third act makes alot of sense and has alot of depth in it.
A++ on this Essay Jaby! I love this video and your last video so so much. I couldn’t agree with you more about the film. Saw it for a second time today and fell in love even more with it today. This film gets a 9.9 from me.
My favorite part of Robert Pattinsons acting is when alfred has told him he has a meeting early in the morning if you watch him walk into the room where alfred is decoding the cipher, once he steps into the light through the window he winces and reacts like someone who is not used to being around in the light. A few moments later and he puts on sunglasses
My god this review is the best, I mean it became my favorite as soon as I watched it but I didn’t know I was gonna love it more and more after thinking about it so much. That said, your review made me love it 10 times more. The scenes you spoke of and the love you showed to Pattinson and Reeves made me appreciate the creativity and preciseness put into this beautiful project that we all love so much. Thanks Jaby, I do hope it wins an Oscar too.
At first i thought Pattinson's acting was pretty good, then i realizes that he rarely spoke except when he's angry but the whole time i know what he's feeling in the cowl. Thats fantastic. The no angry eyebrow on the cowl itself really help to amplify his expressions and eye-acting. And not only that he is feel different enough to other batman's performance to not feel derivative, and make it its own. This movie wont be as good if he's not doing great job especially 90% of screen time contains him as batman/bruce (esp as Batman).
This is the absolute best assessment of this film that I have seen anywhere! Well done. 👍
Joker's scene maybe bit off the place. But when you realise he's always there and observing Batman, that makes it scary for his upcoming major appearance.
It felt shoehorned in. You can see the silhouette of his teeth which looked really cool. But I really hated that laugh.
Kinda feels like the studio pushed for that for some reason. To me it was as unnecessary tease.
I get what Jaby means. On my first watch, I was tense with anticipation and trying to figure out the plot. On my second watch, I relaxed and appreciated it frame by frame and so my second watch was much more enjoyable and made me fall in love with the film, even more than the first
FINALLY! A quality review of this masterpiece of a film. I've seen so many reviews of people who say they loved the movie but then spent 20 minutes picking it apart and criticizing the most ridiculous things but what I found most surprising was the amount of pretty big channels that TOTALLY missed the whole point of the plot. This is such a perfect year 2 Batman story, which we've never seen before, yet everyone is comparing it to other Batman movies. This movie is its own iteration and in my opinion not only the best Batman movie, or best comic book movie ever, it's one of my favorite films ever period
the word masterpiece has lost all meaning by this point
@@paulelroy6650 nah only a few movies have earned its title as a masterpiece, the batman is DEFINITELY WITH NO DOUBT one of them.
@@stephenlee7244 care to explain why
I will give you one reason why this movie is complete nonesense....when Penguin and Batman go on that high speed chase, they inadvertently kill many people. Tanks exploded, cars crashed. People died thanks to both Batman and the penguin. Yet Batman just leaves the Penguin. No arrest. No prison time for Penguin, for killing those people in the highway. Hr just lets the Penguin go. It's like the director FORGOT about this part completely.
This is just one reason why your beloved movie makes no sense to me at all..
@@stactionsmedia3318 well batman was driving and crashing into people like you said . is he going to arrest himself
This review is very fresh due to various topics being in various locations. Good output Jaby!!
This is the coolest live action batman ever. I never got the hype of the Dark Knight Trilogy...they were ultimately action movies. The Batman is HEAVY.
Hands down the best batman ever made, it's amazing!
Really want that kid to somehow be the Robin in this universe
fun fact, the kid who plays Tim Drake in Titans played the kid who was a new joinee in the gang with the face paint in the beginning of the movie
I remember those days when Jaby hated Robert because of Twilight. But when they announced the casting for The Batman, jaby really became open minded gradually and was actually looking forward to Robert as Batman. Now to see Jaby being so happy with The Batman was very fascinating.
My biggest concern going into the movie was regarding the chase scene. I was so worried they gave it away in the trailers…
But to see the movie and find that scene is WAAAAAAY longer than what I ever expected but my gods did I fucking LOVE every second of that scene. It may very well be my favorite chase scene I’ve seen in any movie I’ve seen.
And then there’s upside down, fiery shot as he’s walking up to the penguin. I saw the movie with a friend (it was her second viewing) and leaned over saying “hooooly shit this shot is BEAUTIFUL”. I got goosebumps the instant it came on screen.
Have to say first again, I love this style of review you're trying. It really works with the energy you bring to your videos generally, so I hope you continue doing them for films you have much to say about (DS2, I hope!). That said- I wanted to say that while I've only seen the film once so far (but will see it again Monday) I completely agree. I didn't dislike the Joker scene for what it is, but it felt unnecessary. I've heard Reeves explanation for it, but it still felt out of place. I also felt similarly about the voicemail scene as it was happening but once it had played out- I, too, fully appreciated it. The ultimate theme I took away from the film is the indulgent or gratifying nature of vengeance. We justify our misdeeds based on the wrongs that have been done to us. We avoid the hard thing because it feels good to punch back. The scene you mentioned where Batman reached out to save the son of the Mayor is not just a mirror of himself- but its his opportunity to do the right thing when he failed to just moments before. It mirrors the scene with Batman and Riddler at Arkham- when Batman belittled and rebuked Riddler (you're a psychopath, etc)- it was an opportunity to extend a hand to the exposed inner orphan that was Edward Nashton and perhaps avert the disaster to come, instead, he chose the self-gratifying option and sealed the events to come. So, when Batman chose saving the boy over fighting the Riddler acolytes, he was saving himself, yes, but also acknowledging that brutality isn't the only way to send a message to those who would do harm. That's how I saw it, anyway.
if anyone can pull out new amazing (probably terrifying) joker is Barry Keoghan.. one of the most underrated actors.. i got so hyped when i saw that he will be the joker.
Man i love the new camera shots. Makes your videos look so much more professional!
And the time stamps too?
Idk if you can, but if possible, try new things like this on your reactions too, cause i love this one.
Fantastic review and thanks for being honest and thorough with it
True. I can't take it out of my mind. I watched twice and I also loved it even MORE the second time. Oh it's a masterpiece. I really hope it gets all the praises it deserves award wise next year.
I really love every part of this movie
What I love most about this film is that Reeves is so confident in his direction that in many moments he puts his trust implicitly in us, the viewers, to have us use our own imagination to finish his narrative; making us not just willingly participating but investing in this universe. The Batman is a movie that lingers on ones mind after viewing and it’s a feeling that I don’t necessarily want to let go of, yet.
I don’t think there’s a single creative artist (including Matt Reeves & Co.), upon hearing your last two minutes of this video, that won’t go, “this is why we do what we do and it was worth it.” Beautiful essay.
The film was just unbelievable… I was stunned … I cried … stood up and cheered!! Apologies to the people behind me 😊. What a movie!!!
I completely agree with the Joker cameo, was kinda mad when he popped up because the movie didn’t need him 🤣. Can we please get different villains other than joker Batman got a whole ass rogues gallery lol. Give me Professor Pyg or some other psychopath lol
dollmacher, hugo strange, court of owls....these are some villains I wish to see in live action
@@ayanchoudhury6697 definitely Hugo been wanting to see him since the rumor with the late Robin Williams cast.
I saw it in IMAX and it was beyond incredible. Def worth all the hype. Idk if it's better than the Dark Knight for me but it's right up there. Need to see it again!
Love ❤️ the review also love how you change places through out the video
you just spoke each and every word that i had to say about this film. i m in love with this version of batman , from this appearance to his psyche.
