Could’ve easily cut an hours away. Not the typical (good) Batman movie with action, a god plot and well developed characters, this movie was the exact opposite. Pattinson and Kravitz have talent better used for better movies.

Not only is it the most faithful to the character's essence, but it's also one of the most nuanced Batman stories altogether. A great piece of cinema for Batman fans and cinephiles.

And didThe hype is huge. On the one hand this is due to the ambition of what Matt Reeves has shown so far of his vision, and on the other it's due to those looking to judge Robert Pattinson and his interpretation of such an iconic character. And did The Batman deliver?
I believe it did. Starting with the dark and noir tone and also its touch of Zodiac and Se7en, The Batman makes its identity clear.
This is a Gotham rotting in its own decay of police and political corruption, while the gangsters control everything under the shadows.

It has been mentioned countless times that we're seeing a young and still naive Batman, and while that is integral to the plot, the overall approach is to show the character as the detective, not the superhero. Something that not even Christopher Nolan himself knew how to explore. Robert Pattinson in my opinion does the job and presents a more than solid Batman. His Bruce Wayne appears very little and that one is nothing special. Zoë Kravitz was good, but she doesn't do anything special. At least she takes a more active role than Anne Hathaway did.

Paul Dano perhaps plays too much the prototypical psycho villain that's smarter than the hero, but Dano is too good an actor to fall into that hole and manages to make a notable impression as the Riddler. Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell make up the rest of the characters who have more weight on screen and all of them do a fine job, with a special mention for Farrell who's completely unrecognizable behind that makeup and who can become an excellent villain in the planned sequels if given more to do. I don't know what plans DC and Warner have for their future cinematic universe, and with this film, they'll be under even more pressure because even though the events of The Batman are set in another universe, its style, tone, atmosphere and above all quality, completely set it apart from anything the studio has been doing since Man of Steel. Many may be fooled, but Batman is the flagship of both companies and is the one who has kept them in the game.
So much so that even The Flash will have two Batmans present, and DC Comics has the market saturated with comics of the character and his allies. Here they are starting over with him and I was very happy with what I saw, and I'm more than excited to see what's next with Reeves and this cast at the helm. And as a small recommendation, if you can see it in IMAX, do it.
The sound and images there are mind-blowing.… Expand

While not without its flaws, The Batman is a thrilling neo-noir and stands tall as one of the superhero genre's best entries.

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.

Aside from the cape crusader there only three characters who are not evil/corrupt- all of them are black. The rest? Evil greedy white men. The villains too of course. But what’s worse, the movie constantly breaks your immersion into it’s already disappointing world by injecting its biased politics (cat woman referring to Gotham as a city of white privileged men). As a movie, THE BATMAN is mediocre at best. The first part feels like a big budget law and order episode set in the DC universe. There’s barely any action and it’s just too long.
RIP batman, we’ll always have the Nolan (and Burton) movies.… Expand

Direção/Fotografia: Uma direção incrível, ambientação sombria com cenas pesadas, câmeras e ângulos nas cenas de lutas de tirar o fôlego. Trilha sonora: Muito boa, mas na cena de perseguição de carro entre o Pinguim e o Batman uma nota da trilha sonora fica em um loop por 3 minutos, isso me incomodou um pouco.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I will tag this review as having spoilers I will still be as vague as possible so as not to ruin it for others. Like many others here I am a big Batman fan. I used to read the comics regularly, I have tattoos of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Starfire – so I had high hope for this movie. The highlight of this movie for me was the cast, with the standouts being Pattinson, Wright and Farrell. Although I would have liked to have seen Farrell’s Penguin get a little more screen time – I mean this is a 3 hour movie. Also on that note, Andy Serkis is a great Alfred (who seems to be inspired by the Earth One graphic novels), but again he hardly has any screen time.

This movie is more of a thriller type story which I was completely into – it suits Batman and they did nail the tone of the movie. The time passed quickly despite the movie’s length. There were some lulls in the action, but the action that was there was fantastic.

So why only a 6 when others are giving 10s? Because the ending was terrible. Batman doesn’t out think or even catcher the Riddler. The only reason he gets caught is because he lets himself get caught. Then it is revealed that there is one more secret so I get my hopes back up thinking this is how Batman wins, but nope. Batman does figure out what is about to happen, but doesn’t stop it.

Then there is this stupid scene with Riddler copycats who manage to overwhelm Batman so he needs saving by Catwoman. In the end Batman gets a consolation prize. He saves some people from drowning. Good for him. I mean the Riddler still carried out his plan, and lets himself be caught, so Batman didn’t stop anything. It really ruined the movie for me.

If the ending had been more clever and Batman was able to out think the Riddler and stop his plans somehow in a well written manner then this movie would be one of the best Superhero movies I have seen, but honestly the ending was so bad I’ll probably never watch it again.… Expand

It takes Batman to a different level from previous movies, the horror batmam, a lot of times we feel the villains fear of batman and in a lot of ways that wasn't repetitive at all, the direction knew how to not get boring with time and it clearly works. This movie got some little jokes too here and there and they work well within the story. We could see a lot of good acting too on this film, although sometimes I wanted to kindaaa laugh when I think I weren't supposed to. VFX were actually great and seamless throughout the movie and made a good experience. Love interest it's ok, I just hated the bike scene in the end, like why, just say goodbye that's enough, but this is truly personal of my way of thinking in direction.

In this neo-noir thriller, Batman goes full detective, something that wasn't developed at all in previous film versions. This time, we get a cunning protagonist that, with the audience, connects the dots that will let him solve the case, along with some hurtful doubts about his family.

Robert Pattinson shines as the titular superhero. Although we don't get to see him that much as Bruce Wayne, his portrayal of the masked vigilante probably it's my favorite so far. His Batman exudes fear at every moment, but he's no perfect hero. The fact that the story is placed in his first years of crime-fighting lets us see some of his clumsiness in various situations, stressing his vulnerabilities. But it's the emotional ones that make his character more compelling and nuanced. His obsession with making a difference backfires immensely, and this is the core of the story. After all, maybe vengeance is not enough. Hope we get to keep this version for a long time.

The rest of the cast is great too. Zoë Kravitz, as Catwoman, flirts with the femme fatale trope for a moment, but her character develops into something of her own along the way. Jeffrey Wright is phenomenal as Commissioner Gordon, unexpectedly delivering some comic relief (I know what it sounds like, but just wait to see it). But Paul Dano is the true star here as the psychopathic Riddler. Even with his mask on you can feel the insanity with which he portrays the iconic villain. Think of him as the Zodiac killer with Jover vibes.

Overall, this is a solid film and a great way to start a new trilogy. Definitely want to see what happens next in this version of Gotham, especially because of the state left at the end. Here's to emo Batman supremacy!… Expand

You’ll know what I’m talking about…. It fricken riveting. This is a must see if your fan of the dark knight comics like long Halloween or hush. To sum it all up this reminded me a lot like the movie Seven and I loved it for that. I’m glad they got this made and I recommend it to everyone. 10/10 masterpiece… Expand

The Batman é um filme que é uma carta de amor para os fans das HQS do nosso herói morcego,o filme traz os elementos chaves de grandes historias de quadrinhos, como investigação, um tema mais sombrio como sempre foi visto nas revistas,The Batman é um filme que é uma carta de amor para os fans das HQS do nosso herói morcego,o filme traz os elementos chaves de grandes historias de quadrinhos, como investigação, um tema mais sombrio como sempre foi visto nas revistas, personagens muito bem construídos porem acima disso tudo ele traz respeito aos fans que realmente sabem oque é a figura batman (um dos maiores detetive).
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.. Obrigado Matt Reeves, por nos mostrar que cinema ainda existe e podemos contar boas historias com grandes personagens..… Expand

The film is straightforward, there is no time for jokes and following an investigative police narrative, it brings us suspense and revelations. Sensational is the word, my expectations were high and the movie exceeded them. The sound and special effects are very well used, the fight scenes are incomparable. The way they explored Bruce's feelings, showed the character's values and problems, was really good. Robert Pattinson's performance is wonderful and he can convey feelings just by looking. Robert was right when he said that Bruce doesn't kill, but he really wants to.… Expand

Visceral, human, real, cult... there are so many adjectives for this film that would once be called a blockbuster but which, lest the great mass be mistaken, it is a film that makes you think. The Batman is more than just a comic basedVisceral, human, real, cult... there are so many adjectives for this film that would once be called a blockbuster but which, lest the great mass be mistaken, it is a film that makes you think. The Batman is more than just a comic based feature, it's totally new and unthinkable, Matt Reeves leans on classics like Batman Year One and The Long Halloween, even the Arkham series video games, but adds his cinematic vision, making there is even a reflection on each clue of the riddle and the environment in which he won fans and followers. The politically weakened Gotham is the key point for the outcome of the plot that has moral lessons about what is revenge and what is justice. Reeves manages to make Batman's heroic journey human, how fair are you?
About acting... Robert Pattison is far from the best Bruce, even because the story makes him more withdrawn and newly accustomed to the nightlife as a dark knight, but as Batman... he's on par with Bale who, in my view, is the best Batman of the movies.… Expand

Robert Pattinson is THE BATMAN, absolutely my favorite performance nailed it, Colin Farrel and Jeffrey Wright were top-notch. The chemistry between Batman and Gordon was incredible. Paul Dano was very good, but nothing tops our boy, Heath.
The murder mystery noir was the right choice, absolutely loved it.
I loved the narration and it's something I am very curious to see in future chapters.
This movie kept me engaged the whole time.

Although with everything said, no, it isn't perfect.
Even though it has 3 hours, matt was able to leave some gaps and wholes in some events. For example, batman gets hit or is damaged and needs to recover, and in the next scene he is completely fine and it's like nothing happened. The relationship with Selina happens from thin air, it was very direct and without any emotion, practically rushed.
Even the cinematography was amazing, the movie itself is poor on lighting so there were scenes where you couldn't see anything, now I think there are two things to blame here, first, the projector at the cinema that I watched is known for having low brightness and I felt that in many other movies, second, the movie itself is dark, it occurs mainly at night and that's fine but at least give us the pleasure to enjoy every scene with enough lighting.

For now, a 3.5/5, after a rewatch it might not change, but I may become more assertive in some areas.

I hope Matt and everyone listen to the negative sides and try to learn from their mistakes that might have put the movie at risk.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been waiting for this movie since the moment I saw the first shots. Already from them it became clear that the movie would turn out to be at least incredibly stylish. And this expectation was justified!

Pattinson fits perfectly into the role of the inexperienced, still unrestrained, but already moral compass and 'don't kill' code, Batman. He feels very physical here: you literally feel the necessary heaviness of his suit, the force of blows in well-placed fights. Robert looks just as cool as Bruce Wayne, who is written less like a billionaire playboy, but more like a recluse still reeling from a childhood tragedy. It's definitely an interesting approach that creates a psychological thriller/detective atmosphere.

As far as the cast, it's generally very good. Paul Dana just steals his scenes. And the very approach to the character of the Riddler has been very updated for our time. You believe him, you are afraid of him, you want to put him behind bars in Arkham. The suspense associated with it is very reminiscent of Fincher's Zodiac, which is a very nice compliment. The confrontation with him is purely intellectual, which makes the film feel like a noir detective until the third act.

The role of the Penguin is played by Collin Farrell, although he was made up in such a way that I would never know! His character is also less comical, closer to the ground, but not too much. I wonder what they'll do with it in the sequel.

Zoë Kravitz is perfect for the role of Catwoman. Her gait, look, blows are performed with the necessary grace of a cat. And most importantly: her character is not introduced for fan service, she moves the plot almost on a par with Batman.

As it turns out, director Matt Reeves, already an established master of thrillers, also has the guts to release a three-hour film in the era of couch-watching movies. But I warn you: this visual perfection needs to be viewed on a larger screen. Watching the film, you understand why it was decided to make the film so long: it has so many necessary storylines, many characters, and there is enough time for everyone. I can just imagine how Reeves argued with the producers, proving the necessity of each scene. And it's true, although the scenes are long, they never drag on too much. They rather make you savor the atmosphere and create pleasant suspense.

And there is something to savor here: each frame is thought over ten times, verified a hundred times and polished to a shine. At the cinema, I dreamed of a print screen button about every two minutes! Cinematographer Greg Frazier, who was apparently restricted in Dune, went all out and experimented with everything he could. Haven't had such visual ecstasy from watching a movie in a long time. The oppressive atmosphere of Gotham, mired in crime, is also facilitated by the very oppressive music of composer Michael Giacchino. And the song Something in the Way by Nirvana fit perfectly. I will rewatch the scenes with her again and again.

I would like to call the self-sufficiency of the film a separate plus. Yes, there is literally one scene that directly hints at what will happen in the sequel. However, in general, the film feels like a stand alone work. Even if you don't know anything about the character, everything will be clear to you. There are no constant references for the sake of references, which are full of Marvel films and sometimes detract from the film. And accordingly, there is no desire to look at YouTube 'top 100 details that you did not notice!'. Instead, it seems to me that the content around the film will be devoted to video essays that talk about the themes and symbols of the movie.

Of course, it was not without its downsides. Due to the fact that Bruce is a recluse here, you don't feel much difference between him and his alter ego. We seem to always see Batman on the screen, just sometimes he is without a mask and mascara under his eyes. I also missed interacting with Alfred. It feels like several important scenes with him were cut in the editing. I hope that their relationship will deepen in the next film. Also, sometimes I was annoyed by the invulnerability of the suit, even for bullets.

To sum it up, if you're willing to sit for three hours in a movie theater for visual enjoyment and speculate with the director about the psychology of outsiders, then you need to go to the movies. If you're a Batman fan, you need to go to the movies. If you're fed up with Marvel movies and want something fresh in the genre, you need to go to the movies. The film is worth the three hours you spend on it.… Expand

You can see that most of the scences look like comic panels from the classic Batman Comics like the Long Helloween which the Movie is inspired from. Even though the Movie is 3 Hours long i never had the feeling that it was boring or there were scenes that are not that important.I am sure that this is one of the best Batman Comic adaptions ever made. I am excited for the sequel… Expand

So much emotion and turmoil and conflict is conveyed even though he spends the majority of the movie under the cowl. Reeves masterfully creates a living graphic novel as blends together elements of The Godfather, Se7en, Zodiak, French Connection, and Chinatown in a CBM unlike any other. Director and artist driven instead of a formulaic studio rehash. The cast all knock it out of the park. Can’t wait to see it again.… Expand

It was dragged out for too long and just boring at times and didn’t live up to the hype that I read about it.

It's a pleasure to mention that i just witnessed one of the best Gotham city till date and Paul Dano is The G.O.A.T. I wouldn't care about box office or how it's going to compete against MCU but these DC guys keeps taking comic book movies to next level. Seen lots of people compare it to TDK but it's incomparable. Can't express with just a sheet of paper how great both movies are in their own aspect. This movie is a solid 10/10.… Expand

I’m actually surprised with how dark this movie is. I knew it would definitely be more serious going in. But at times this feels like a horror film. It’s a gritty detective noir thriller that feels like it takes elements of Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, and Zodiac, and mixes them with the world of Gotham, and character of Batman. This is definitely the most “detective” focused the character has felt. A lot of the movie is him working to crack riddles and uncover the truth about Gotham, all while trying to put an end to the Riddler. Robert Pattinson does a great job here. I would’ve liked to have seen more of his Bruce Wayne, as there’s only a few scenes of him as the character. But he gives us a super intimidating Batman. I love the design of the suit, and his calm, quiet voice may be my favourite the character has had in live action. Paul Dano kills it as the riddler. He is genuinely the most terrifying villain I’ve seen in a comic book movie. His first scene tells you all you need to know. While his role may be more of a behind the scenes one, with most of his appearances being audio, or video calls, his kills it with the voice and eyes. His performance definitely stole the show for me. Zoe Kravitz does a solid job as Selina Kyle here. They didn’t focus on the romance as much as I thought, and I didn’t entirely feel the chemistry between them, which is odd considering how they seem to get along in interviews. But off all the versions we’ve had of the character on screen, hers is by far the deepest. With quite an interesting backstory to tell. Penguin is pretty great in the movie. The makeup on him is insane, and he definitely feels like a different person entirely. The film has next to no humour, or joyful moments. But any of the ones there come from him. Gordon is played very well here. I really liked his dynamic with Batman. And he has a great amount of screen time. Alfred is the only character I was a little disappointed with. He’s hardly in the movie, and I felt like he should’ve had an extra scene at the end. He sort of just leaves the film. But I did like where him and Bruce’s relationship went. Back to the story, I really liked the way they tackled everything here. It’s an intriguing plot, with a lot of mystery, and while there’s not necessarily any massive reveals that blew my mind, I thought it was told very well. Riddler is just so damn intimidating in this. His traps felt like they were from saw, and some scenes definitely had me on edge and honestly creeped out. There’s not a ton of action, but when it’s there, it’s really well handled. The hand to hand fights are quick and precise. Their well shot and edited, so it’s never messy, but Batman is just fast at taking down criminals which I really liked. The batmobile chase in this is definitely the highlight, the sound shook the whole room and I was smiling the whole time. I’ve heard some complaints about the final act. But none of the reviews really pinpointed their issue with it. It’s definitely more action oriented than the first two, but in no way did it feel out of place for me. I thought it deserved and well executed. There was a few times where the movie feels like it’s gonna end, but it doesn’t. Not really a big problem though, just something that I felt. Overall it’s great. I can’t wait to rewatch it. I actually had a kind of **** experience for the first 30 or so minutes. The people in front of me were laughing and talking the second the film started, but they quickly shut up. The people behind me though were so goddamn loud with their food, it annoyed the absolute **** out of me. EDIT: Saw it a second time, loved it even more.… Expand

I rather watch 1 and half hour action oriented Batman vs Deathstroke story with cool moves, gadgets, vehicles than these 3 hours pls no sequels by Matt Reeves. These 3 hours can shorten, do away with that wayne parents stuff. Hey, Matt, did u copy some idea from the game Batman Telltale? Should do film like Batman Arkham Knight style. Batarang used from the chest like a waste. A disappointed film. Rather WB spend 200mil, 100mil on restart over green lantern film, 100mil on new green arrow or Nightwing film to intro more heroes to shape up future of Justice league team up. Well, next in waiting, Black Adam.… Expand

There are things wrong with this movie. But I'm tired of the tired indictment that a movie cannot be good if it is 3 hours long. If you want nothing but mindless action go watch Fast and Furious. People can enjoy films that make you think and don't have explosions every three minutes. I enjoyed the acting, the script, the ambiance, and music. It was grim and dreary but not lacking story and action.… Expand

Un aspecto que me pareció increíble aparte de toda la película fue que sigue un patrón muy similar a los siete pecados capitales quedando impecable, la ambientación de Ciudad Gótica luce menos decadente y fría que en otras adaptaciones y Zoë Kravitz desempeña bien su personaje de Selina Kyle sin necesidad de compararse con versiones previas del personaje.
