@@MrFredstt Yeah definitely. I thought it was just going to be a show where they were just exhibiting cursing and blood. I had no idea the underlying writing would be so good.
10:00 According to the official DC maps, Gotham is on the southwest coast of New Jersey (near the real-world Commercial Township) and Metropolis is across the Delaware Bay in Delaware (near where real-life Bowers and Slaughter Bay are located).
The Batman 2022 is the most comic accurate live action Batman to date. Heath Ledger MADE The Dark Knight if he wasn’t apart of it that film would’ve been mediocre asf
@@Theoneeyed_ghoul Comic accuracy is nice and all, but can't save a movie from bad writing. TDK would still be a better movie than The Batman even without Heath Ledger. I can't take the Batman seriously. His cape looks like a trash bag.
If you talking Batman himself this ain't the series for you. Haha If you mean more The Batman Universe on TV than I totally agree. This was an instant classic of a show.
As a millennial I agree. Batman should be a tv show. And that wasn’t colin farrell speaking in his voice. That was the penguin doing a colin farrell impression
If this series isn't nominated for every Emmy award, including Best Actor for Colin Farrell and Best Actress/Supporting Actress for either Cristin Milioti and/or Deirdre O'Connell, there is something truly wrong and corrupt in the entertainment industry!
Oh man.. can't wait for this!. Oz's condo is in the jewelry district.. it's an old jewelry shop and his bedroom is the old vault.. with all the small safes inside still.
I thought the reason there hasn't been any other Batman shows is because Fox owned the TV rights. They did the '66 series, and Gotham. I think that Max streaming isn't considered a broadcast TV show, so they can kind of get by the Fox TV rights issue.
I wish you guys would watch more than just one episode I mean I love watching this with you guys I love to see your reaction I've already watched all 8 episodes but it's like I'm watching it all over again just watching how much you guys appreciate the show it is totally awesome you'll love it.
@@Theoneeyed_ghoul No, it wouldn't. I love Christian Bale, but his portrayal of Batman is lacking. The Dark Knight Rises is the trash film in the trilogy.
@sacredbeastzenon Bruce Wayne is still one of the main characters, it's just before he becomes Batman, just like how Smallville is about Clark Kent before he becomes Superman
@@JonathanStein-kr6qd No. Gotham is a James Gordon show. Batman is shown in the series finale, and he's never even called Batman. Clark Kent is THE main character of Smallville. The Penguin series is called that because it's about his rise to power to become THE Penguin.
For a while, I've preferred well done TV to movies. With movies, if the story is bad, then it's too long, and if it's good then all the character development can't get paid off in enough time.
I mean the reason they don't put Batman on TV is because it would delude the brand. Why go to the movies to watch Batman if he's on TV. I think they talked about it in an earnings call some time ago. I can see why they don't. Even though TV shows have improved over the years, it would cheapen Batman as a brand and Box office returns are far more profitable than a TV show. Superman doesn't really do well in movies and even when he's on TV it's always "Superman AND someone else". He's just not a very compelling character on his own. Meanwhile Batman has been doing well carrying films alone and the one time they tried to add a Robin, it was disastrous.
@10:42 -- i'm pretty sure that's just a printed t-shirt, a clever bit of advertising. @14:02 -- those are bank vault doors. penguin lives in the former "burgess jewelry" building. "burgess" is a nod to actor burgess meredith, the first live-action penguin from the 1966 tv series. "waugh! waugh! waugh ...!"
I wasn't interested in this show at all... but Nerdrotic and Mauler kept praising it... so I listened, and yeah, it's the best show by far in the last few years. And it surpassed the movie in quality by a mile.
Absolutely the best show ive seen on tv. Incredible. Avoid the fans and spoilers that are everywhere. You know some jackass is going to think he’s being clever by hinting and in their mind not spoiling but completely spoiling the show.
great series but you can go ahead and drop any and all Batman references when watching this. Even the few small names they drop arent worth worrying about
Setting up villains in a series to lead into the next movie would be the best way to do this universe. The Gunnverse “elseworlds”could maybe do crossovers at some point🤔
I’ve been saying forever that they need to make a Game of Thrones type Batman series. But I only want it if they don’t hold back. It can’t be toned down for the general audience. My ideal show would actually be like Justice League Unlimited where there are different characters every week.
*Gotham* was a live action batman series which focused more around young james gordon and bruce wayne's childhood after he had lost the parents and how he were slowly becoming in to the batman. Gotham had most popular batman villains like penguin,poison ivy, riddler, hugo strange and anti heroes like selina kyle. the show had a promising start but they screwd it up trying to be a half comic/half comedic show.after a while it became too boring and lazy.
Hardest series of the year hands down. Colin Farrel is a legend.
you're forgetting last of us
3:07 The trident is the logo of the Maserati car company, a very high-end automobile!
Legitimately one of the best TV shows in the past few years
@@MrFredstt Yeah definitely. I thought it was just going to be a show where they were just exhibiting cursing and blood. I had no idea the underlying writing would be so good.
It’s okay, so far nothing has really happened.
This is a complex masterpiece
Penguin lives above a jewelry shop called Burgess Jewelry. This is a nod to Burgess Meredith who played the Penguin in the 60s series.
10:00 According to the official DC maps, Gotham is on the southwest coast of New Jersey (near the real-world Commercial Township) and Metropolis is across the Delaware Bay in Delaware (near where real-life Bowers and Slaughter Bay are located).
That 3 hour Batman movie is actually really successful and good lol
I loved it! Felt like an Arkham game! For me, it's up there with The Dark Knight and '89.
It was a success, but no it's not good. The Batman is a 5/10 at best. The Penguin is far better. Lauren LeFranc is the reason The Penguin is great.
@@fynnthefox9078
Sure, but with bad writing. Stop! The Batman doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as TDK or 89.
The Batman 2022 is the most comic accurate live action Batman to date. Heath Ledger MADE The Dark Knight if he wasn’t apart of it that film would’ve been mediocre asf

"So he's going to take this kid under his wing". Was a good unintentional penguin pun.
If you talking Batman himself this ain't the series for you. Haha If you mean more The Batman Universe on TV than I totally agree. This was an instant classic of a show.
That's exactly what we are talking about. Batman's universe needs to be an HBO show in totality.
Agreed!@@YouMeTheMovies
I'd be interested in that rumored Joker series set in the Reevesverse. With it centering around the GCPD trying to catch the Joker.
@fynnthefox9078 James Gunn said that its not in development at all so probably won't be happening.
The DC universe? 😂
This series is great! Not just great for a comic book show either...its legitimately great.
Yeah, they didn't do the formula thing. There is no anti-hero here, just a well developed villian.
As a millennial I agree. Batman should be a tv show. And that wasn’t colin farrell speaking in his voice. That was the penguin doing a colin farrell impression
So it begins 🔥
Colin Farrell nailed this role more than a construction workers hammer lol
9:55 Gotham is Gotham, Metropolis is Metropolis and New York is still New York. They're all situated near each other.
You guys will love all eight episodes. Just bangers after bangers.
Mid.

Best show of the year.
Listen to Mrs. Movies, she knows her Maseratis, their emblem is the trident. 😁
This show is great, they are doing other spinoff shows and doing the big The Batman films on the big screen like they should
The actor who played Alberto also played bugsy Siegel in boardwalk empire
This shows a masterpiece
"she eats like you"
you may call him rude but you didnt call him a liar
0:06 very rude sir 😂😂
Oh man.. can't wait for this!. Oz's condo is in the jewelry district.. it's an old jewelry shop and his bedroom is the old vault.. with all the small safes inside still.
Adam West would argue about their never being a live action Batman show 😂 But they should definitely expand on that for this day and age

I think that Max streaming isn't considered a broadcast TV show, so they can kind of get by the Fox TV rights issue.
Best show in years!!
One of the best shows, if not the best show, of the year.
Should’ve rewatched the Batman before goin in
Yes, yes, yes, thank you!
I mean they have R rated dark DC shows like Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Titans, and Doom Patrol
This show was awesome! A lot of us can’t wait for The Batman Part II.
Oh by the way I do agree with you that the Batman would work on Max as a weekly saga.
Cant wait for the next reaction!🐧🤟
I wish you guys would watch Eastbound and Down. Give the Mrs something to laugh at, and 4 quick seasons of Kenny Powers is the best thing there is
oh nice. this and TLOU are my fav shows
Maybe my favorite show of the year and I’m not even that big of a DC fan
Same. This feels way different than most DC stuff that's why.
I wish you guys would watch more than just one episode I mean I love watching this with you guys I love to see your reaction I've already watched all 8 episodes but it's like I'm watching it all over again just watching how much you guys appreciate the show it is totally awesome you'll love it.
This is what Patreon is for.
Im sorry but that 3hr Batman movie was great. But I respect your guys opinion on it 👍
The Batman is a 5/10 at best.
@@sacredbeastzenon The Dark Knight would be a 2/10 without Heath Ledger 😂 cope harder bale fan girls
@@Theoneeyed_ghoul
No, it wouldn't. I love Christian Bale, but his portrayal of Batman is lacking. The Dark Knight Rises is the trash film in the trilogy.
Penguin drives a Maserati has a trident logo
Oh hell yeah
A great start to a great series.
Also, there was another Batman TV show. Gotham ran on Fox for 5 seasons.
but not from The Batman, just another CW or adjacent series
If Batman isn't the main character how can you call it a Batman show? Smallville is a Superman show because he's the main character.
@sacredbeastzenon Bruce Wayne is still one of the main characters, it's just before he becomes Batman, just like how Smallville is about Clark Kent before he becomes Superman
@@JonathanStein-kr6qd
No. Gotham is a James Gordon show. Batman is shown in the series finale, and he's never even called Batman. Clark Kent is THE main character of Smallville. The Penguin series is called that because it's about his rise to power to become THE Penguin.

I’m so glad you guys are reacting to this show, it’s amazing!
Cristin Milioti. That is all. Just wait til E4...
We need more of Mrs movies dancing to 9 to 5 ❤🎉 I would pay premium prices to see a full rendition dressed as Dolly Parton. Mr movies get at me
Awesome
sofia stealssssss the show!!!
Sofia has scary eyes 👀
Can’t wait bc this show was so good and this was a good premiere episode to start to reintroduce us into the Matt Reeves Batman universe.
Got me hyped for The Batman Part II!
I agree 100% that these shows r prestige television. The problem is that movies still make significantly more money than streaming.
Assuming said movie doesn't flop or bomb.
@ yes, things that don’t flop or bomb will not be profitable…. Thank you captain obvious.

They should just make the animated Batman series with real people on HBO that show had everything - You guys are gonna love this show
It’s wild watching this first episode once you’ve seen the series 😮
yeah 😑
The batman was 2 years ago and already when i hear the music from the film it hits me like ive known it since i was a kid 😂
Yes! I can’t wait to rewatch this with y’all! One of the best shows of the year.
Sophiaaaaaaa 😮💨🥰🥰🥰🥰
ITS ABOUT TIME!!!! It's about time 2 of my top reactors react to the penguin!!! Yessssss

You are going to Love this!!
Wicked is 2hr40min and is making tons of money. I think movies are gonna be ok
Season 2 of 24 still waiting.
There is no Batman TV show due to legal intangilments on who has the rights
Colin The Transformation Farrell is amazing as The Penguin.
