Wow. Zach Snyder should take a few notes from Matt Reeves The Batman. It’s one of the rare movies I would watch again at the theater.

The Movie and its tones are highlighted by Paul Dano’s Chilling performance as The Riddler, and of course Robert Pattinson’s performance as the brooding and disturbed Batman. While some might be distraught by the levels of the film’s darkness, (this ain’t your grandma’s Batman) I think that true Batman fans will be much more then satisfied.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was a masterpiece. I love DC movies and am a big fan of the DC Universe. But, the movies haven’t been that good. This movie is the boost we need. Pattinson is great at Bruce Wayne and Dano is phenomenal as Riddler. I’m exited for a sequel since at the end I think we meet Joker at Arkham Asylum! 10/10 would recommend, this is an incredible film.… Expand

Matt Reeve’s The Batman delivers what will come to be known as the standard for comic book films of the next decade for characters as dark, brutal, torn and interesting as Bruce Wayne. The examination of Batman’s relationship with Gotham asMatt Reeve’s The Batman delivers what will come to be known as the standard for comic book films of the next decade for characters as dark, brutal, torn and interesting as Bruce Wayne. The examination of Batman’s relationship with Gotham as it’s own character is at full display here. Through following the eyes of Batman and some of his greatest villains, we see the immense pain and torment, as well as a call for justice that bleeds through Batman's soul. The inner workings of the justice system with the criminal underworld bring this to life in a way that has never been examined as well as they are here. Gotham isn’t treated as a setting, but as a fully fleshed out piece of required understanding to fully calculate why the masked vigilante feels the need to keep fighting when all odds tell him he shouldn’t. Or at least the way he thinks he should. Robert Pattinson delivers a Batman/Bruce Wayne that you’ve never seen in live action on screen, one which is more akin to the most revered of his comic arcs. If you aren’t in for a long, bleak, grim and broody journey to understand the dichotomy at play, you might want to steer clear of this hype train. DON’T BRING THE KIDS. This is probably the most adult oriented mainstream comic book film ever. It’s beyond me how WB didn’t get an R rating for this one. Everyone comes through with a powerhouse performance. From the completely indistinguishable Colin Ferrel as the just right amount of hokey Penguin, to the (unsurprising) high caliber career defining performance from Paul Dano as the Riddler. He is terrifying as the character, feeling like he was pulled out of a horror film and plopped in this story perfectly. At the same time, while it feels like there is no one who can challenge Batman physically, the Riddler feels like the only one who can overcome him intellectually. Dano’s Riddler will undoubtedly be compared to Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight and rightfully so. Everyone knows what is at stake here and everyone shows up with their A-game. Reeve masterfully weaves these notoriously over the top comic characters in his extremely grounded film so well, that you could convince yourself they were always real people to begin with. You may not be able to tell from the previews we’ve had, but it is more in line with movies like Se7en or Zodiac, completely straying from the tones/themes of superhero movies that have run their course for years. This is the furthest from a bad thing and feels like a breath of fresh air whisked into the genre. I would even go as far as to say, as a massive fan of the genre, that this movie could eventually even rank up there with the most renown noire crime thrillers. Don’t go into this expecting some action spectacle (but there is still a good amount) but more of a detective story with Batman playing the lead role. There will be some who may find it drawn out and too long and that is fair criticism. (As with Joker, although this is far from the same movie) There are bits here that can be trimmed to bring the runtime down to a more sharp 2 hours and 30 minutes. But for the most part, I see this only being a gripe for casuals, especially in a time where folks have no issues with binging whole series’ in less than a day. If you are a Batman fan at heart, there’s just nothing in me that would say you won’t want to walk back in for another 3 hours, or scream for the sequel immediately. Once it is all said and done, and the world has had time to sit with this movie, I feel that there will firmly be two camps on what is the definitive Batman flick. The Batman or The Dark Knight, and that solely comes down to preference for genre/tone. What we are seeing here is a feat that nobody thought was possible. Matt Reeves has made a Batman film that has potential to dethrone The Dark Knight, and if it doesn’t it will nestle perfectly next to it and be known as one of the greatest comic book adaptations of all time.… Expand

Matt Reeves' "The Batman" is the ultimate comic book movie, thriller movie, action movie, and, in my opinion, movie full stop.

This Batman really embodies the side of the character where he is a myth, a legend, a force to fear. After just two years of taking up the mantle Bruce struggles with the balance of his two lives and it just speaks more to the ending where he finally finds his place as the Batman that he is.
Paul Dano's Riddler is incredible. It is a wildly different take on the character yet keeps his core characteristics. He. Is. Scary.
The music for this movie is Oscar-worthy. It ties all the elements of this movie together and presents the mood very well.
Matt Reeves' cinematography is pure perfection. Every single shot is impactful and beautiful.

"The Batman" is the best movie of all time.… Expand

Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright etc… all do phenomenal jobs. It’s meticulously shot, scored, and directed. It’s violent, it’s moody, Nirvana plays, and by the end you feel so hopeful about the future. This is one of the greatest comic book films ever made.

Robert Pattinson is an amazing actor with a wide range (The Lighthouse, Good Time, The Devil All the Time,) and Matt Reeves is a phenomenal director that's working with some of the best source material ever. Batman is a character with a very fleshed out emotional and psychological background. Matt Reeves is a director that proved to be exceedingly talented in portraying emotional depth in an unlikely trilogy: Planet of the Apes. I didn't think that those movies could possibly be very good, but Matt Reeves made me deeply care about those characters. It is, in fact, one of the most emotionally impactful movies I've ever seen. So, naturally, I assumed that Reeves would spread his wings and soar with "The Batman." I am pleased to say that this time I was correct. At the heart of this story has always been a traumatized young boy. Other Batman films really only scratch the surface of this aspect of the character compared to other mediums. Animated movies such as "Mask of the Phantasm" and comics like "Arkham Asylum" by Grant Morrison explore Bruce's damaged psyche far more than any of the live action movies, and I've always loved those Batman stories, because it explores one of the most interesting things about him. Interestingly enough, over The Batman's three hour runtime there is no drawn out backstory involving the death of his parents. The only reference we see is a brief, maybe one-second flashback, and it's there more to show us that Bruce has PTSD. This movie doesn't use the same old scene to tug on our heart strings, because surely Reeves understood that we've already seen it too many times for it to be fully impactful. Rather, he shows us a very honest depiction of the aftermath. He's in pain, and he's tired. Even more so, he's angry, and God help any mugger that happens to be in his path on a dark, Gotham night. Many talented actors have portrayed Batman over the years, and I don't think it's fair to say that Pattinson is "the best," but he's perfect in this movie, and for me, this is the best iteration of a live action Batman to date. So I can't really help but like him more in this movie than I have liked any other portrayal of Batman.

The cinematography is breathtaking. Lighting is done masterfully. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the movie takes place at night, and Reeves does an amazing job of creating these dark scenes that are almost uncomfortable in how much they obscure, to give you that feeling of suspense that anyone who sees batman emerge from a shadow would feel. At the same time, these scenes manage to beautifully light and focus everything that the viewer should be seeing. It's perfect for a noir film, and it's perfect for a Batman film. I believe that the timing of this movie was absolutely perfect. Like most of us in 2022, Bruce is experiencing dark times, and he's still learning how to navigate that darkness. Bruce's fear of losing himself to this darkness is palpable in Robert Pattinson's performance as well as in the writing of this movie. The anger and brokenness is visible on his face, as he has lost the motivation to hide it. With Batman, on the other hand, there's an almost calm composure that parallels the chaos we see in Bruce. Reeves is telling us that this is the release. Batman is Bruce Wayne's way out. In fact, this is probably the only thing getting him through it. On some level, Batman is something that Bruce Wayne has to do. I was very happy with this movie's realistic portrayal of trauma early on, but by the end I was genuinely moved by the fact that we watch Bruce become someone that is worthy of admiration. By the end of the movie, he isn't just an angry person that beats up criminals. He helps people. By being a beacon of hope for them, he is able to be hopeful about his own future. The Riddler is the other side of that coin: a cautionary tale about what happens when traumatized people just burrow deeper and deeper into their own heads and put up walls, their egos inflating as they demonize and blame the rest of the world.

In conclusion, The Batman is a story about a legend in the making. It takes place early on in this story, and Bruce Wayne is still a diamond in the rough. Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson masterfully portray "the rough." Admittedly, the Batman story has always appealed to me as a person with childhood trauma, but I think that after 2021, literally all of us can appreciate a story about a good person trying to do the right thing in the middle of a crappy situation. This isn't necessarily a groundbreaking Batman story, but it is a groundbreaking Batman movie. I predict that pretty much every fan of Batman comics is going to love this movie. People that are mostly fans of the movies might be a little divided on this one as it is drastically different from any live action portrayal we have ever seen. For me, it's an easy 10/10.… Expand

This is such a refreshing film that shakes things up for the superhero genre.

Everything here is gorgeous and crafted with extreme care - the acting, cinematography, musical score, action set pieces. It's a little too long and could've benefited from some trimming in the editing room.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Batman: Alright I was so hopeful that this movie was going to be good and thank god it lived up to it. Spoilers through out, I’m just going to start with some minor nitpicks it’s got to deal with the length because when the Riddler is caught it could have honestly ended a little bit after that. Other than that it was actually really really good as a Batman movie, not as it standing up to the legacy of the Dark Knight. For the main man Robert Pattinson is actually really awesome, you can tell that even though he was Batman for only 2 years he strikes fear in the criminals and he can kick some serious ass. He also proves that he is very very smart during the crime scenes it’s awesome. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman was also really really well done she has a heartbreaking backstory. The villains good lord, Riddler played by Paul Dano he was spectacular, he’s not only menacing but he was chaotic and he had some serious issues. Also the Penguin played amazingly by Colin Farrell he disappeared with the makeup on and he is one of the personal highlights. The action scenes are well shot especially the dark hallway scene just gorgeous. Also we are getting a new Joker and I don’t want that to happen it’s too soon because we just got the solo movie hopefully it’s just a cameo. Overall I was very impressed with the movie Matt Reeves did really well Pattinson did great, Kravitz, Dano, Farrell, the action scenes, the music, everything was awesome I highly recommend this movie, just think about it being a Batman movie don’t hold it anywhere near the Dark Knight Level.

Of all the Batman movies... live action andThere is a reason why this movie called THE BATMAN. This is the longest appearance of Batman in a live action movie ever. Bruce Wayne just a side character... Batman in full suite 80% of the movie.

Of all the Batman movies... live action and animation... I never felt what is the Bat signal meant for the people of Gotham especially the crooks... Mat Reeves able to shows how the Bat Signal incite fear to the crooks.

I also never see Batman doing actual detective works in a movie... this movie have the best Bat detective sequences ever... and his partnership with Jim Gordon is the best iteration I ever witnessed. When the Batman spoke.. "Thursday October 31st"... yeaaahhh!!!! I'm a sucker for movie with narrations... right then I knew.... I'm gonna love this movie... and the investigation itself is very interesting... Riddler is crazy AF... all the riddles he left for Batman and Jim to solve are mesmerizing and I'm so invested with the investigation works... 3 hours just flew by.

All the cast are amazing... Robert Pattinson are amazing and he really looks great in the suit... The Bat suit itself is menacing... Colin Farrell is the most amazing cast... I still can't recognize him behind the make up... his accent is sublime. Paul Dano as The Riddler...chilling performance... he is crazy AF... I don't know what kind of Joker Matt Reeves gonna give if there's a sequel to top The Riddler.

This is the best Batman movie I've ever watched... if you're a fan of MCU type superheroes movies... I don't know whether you would've like it... but if you are fan of criminal investigation movies like Se7en... this movie is heavily influenced by Se7en.. you definitely gonna love the movie.

Highly... highly recommended... 10/10... find the best sounding cinema because you need to hear the introduction of the Bat Mobile... HOLY S#!T!!! Goosebumps... the revving jet engine make the hair on the back of my neck stand up!!!… Expand

Eu fiquei impressionado como esse filme me fez vir aqui no site para poder dar um 10 de tanto que esse filme me surpreendeu, me prendeu , me fez ficar inquieto a sessão toda por cada detalhe que tem q cada cena, a começar com o enredo que temos ali um batman mais jovem no seu segundo ano de ''carreira'' contra o crime na cidade gotham remetendo a hqs como Terra um onde a historia do personagem é apresentada não de uma maneira batida como já foi em todos esses filmes do Batman, o Diretor Matt Reeves se aproveitou de toda essa jornada do nosso herói e usou isso para poder da pequenos pontos chaves do que já aconteceu antes do batman ser o batman, oque achei que foi interessante pois torna a historia mais fluida e menos maçante, em relação a trilha sonora é impecável é quase como se fosse uma trilha sonora de Terror onde você sente medo do Batman, ela mostra que ele esta chegando e com muita raiva, odio ,rancor e acima de tudo MEDO, Pois como a própria frase do protagonista nos leva a concluir que o medo é uma ferramenta, eu podia ficar aqui falando o dia todo de varias coisas, porem acredito que dar spoiler aqui estragaria a surpresa de muitos fans que ainda não assistiram, então oque eu posso dizer é que esse filme é uma obra prima para fans do herói Batman, e repetindo, esse filme não é para qualquer um que está acostumado com '' explosões mirabolantes, a tela toda impermeada de CGI, não va com essa expectativa não... esse filme é pra aqueles que curtem uma boa historia, uma trama bem amarrada com excelentes atores nos seus papeis, Robert Pattinson como batman é o Batman definitivo das HQS e historia que sempre víamos.. vá assistir THE BATMAN pois vocês vão se surpreender com essa obra de arte incrível..

My spoiler free review of “The Batman”

So, as someone who has a bit of a Batman obsession since I was about 11 years old and have read my fair share of comics while collecting a good amount of graphic novels over the years; let’s just say IMy spoiler free review of “The Batman”

So, as someone who has a bit of a Batman obsession since I was about 11 years old and have read my fair share of comics while collecting a good amount of graphic novels over the years; let’s just say I was very excited for this movie. I was nervous though….

It’s been 10 years since we had a solo Batman film. We never got what we were promised with Ben Affleck’s version which was no fault of his really but that’s another story(looking at you WB) which meant that the Nolan films had been our saving grace and our curse. Was that trilogy really as good as it was going to get?

I’m happy to tell you the answer is a resounding NO!!!!! Writer and Director, Matt Reeves of The Apes Trilogy has carved out one heck of a story that you owe to yourself to see on the largest screen imaginable!

I can see this making a lot of peoples top 5 lists for best comic book (Marvel or DC) films of all time and even though it's March, it should easily be one of the top 10 films of 2022 when the dust settles.

Couldn't believe how grounded and realistic this felt even compared to the Dark Knight Trilogy. This version of Gotham seemed like it was set in the 90's yet had a lot of today's problems which makes this film very relevant and powerful.

The cast was amazing! This Pattinson guy has come a long from Twilight let me tell you. What a great actor! His Bruce Wayne is bitter and troubled. In turn his Batman is hellbent on vengefulness no matter the cost to himself. Batman with a death wish! But great story telling shows the character evolve throughout and by it's end you see him realize his true destiny on inspiring hope in a city in desperation of it. Well done!

Catwoman was amazing and as reported her chemistry with Batman is off the charts hot!!! She's just really cool and has deep story too. Others are great too such as Gordon, Alfred, and Penguin, but boy did Paul Dani as the Riddler steal the show!!! A mix of intellect with disturbed sense of morals and reality made him so frightening. Easy to see how he was based off of the Zodiac killer but I instantly got John Doe vibes from Seven with this guy! Creepy!!!!

In fact this movie should remind you of Seven, Zodiac and probably China Town with a tiny bit of Saw for good measure. The classic Noir element recalls an era I am not as familiar with but I instantly thought of Maltese Falcon especially as Batman narrated the entire film with such gloom.

This is unlike any other Batman film you have seen before yet it feels like a Batman graphic novel bursting with life on the screen. So immersive! The question is whether this is better than the Dark Knight or even if it's the best Batman film ever?

Well, I won't say it's better than the Dark Knight which has become the gold standard for comic book films but I will say it's one of the three best Batman films of all time. It deserves multiple viewings and it deserves to be the first chapter of at least a trilogy if not 5 or 6 film anthology.
