Hopefully this leads into a saga of films as did the Dark Knight films did and maybe Joker can tie into this as well.… Expand

He doesn't careThe story is great and so is the cast, but the script is so badly written that it ruins so much of this highly promising film. The emotional connection between Batman and friends like Alfred and Gordon isn't there at all. He doesn't care about them, I didn't care about him. The writing is mediocre, full of cliches, only the riddler stands out in this film. The director pushed too hard with the so called artistic shots, and the music was fine but so repetitive I started laughing near the end. On a brighter note - Paul Dano was exceptional and it was action-packed enough so it didn't feel like a 3-hour movie. It's a good film, but in my humble opinion it's not even close to Christopher Nolan's trilogy and the amazing achievement it had with the writing, cinematography and casting.… Expand

La película tiene un ambiente muy particular, y si, esos comentarios diciendo que es tiene un ambiente similar a seven y zodic killer están en lo correcto. Gran película de detectives, buena química entre los personajes, sobre todo Batman con Catwoman y Gordon. El pingüino es muy carismático. Y con el riddler nos encontramos una interpretación muy fresca, lo amé, Paul Dano lo hace genial. Por cierto la música de esta película es brutal, salí del cine con la música de Catwoman, riddler y Batman en mi cabeza. La amé, Reeves entiende muy buen a Batman, una película absolutamente genial.

However, after watching this, I have to say that it is one of the better portrayals of the character overall. I feel that, for the first time since Batman vs Superman, the villains truly feared Batman. It was, and is very dark, much like the Joker movie from a few years back. However, I think this is necessary for a character as broken as The Batman.

Without going into spoilers, I felt the dark tones were very in line with Snyder, and the character was very closely related to how Bale portrayed Batman in his trilogy of movies. So, overall, a great mix. Though an almost 3 hour movie, it felt like the movie went by quickly, so it was extremely interesting (this coming from someone who regularly has to take breaks when watching movies at home). 9/10… Expand

This movie masterfully tells its stories and carried key themes throughout. By the end, I was in awe of how every single (and I do mean every single) storyline served core themes of the film. Vengeance and justice, despair and hope, mental illness and trauma, recognition and healing. By the end, the setting, the history, the characters, and the featured Riddler case all collide perfectly to deliver on the core themes woven throughout the story.

Zoe Kravitz was a huge standout for me -- I have never seen her in anything and I actually worried about the Catwoman romance subplot, but she delivered. Her acting was phenomenal and she paired perfectly with Pattinson to showcase these damaged characters that were trying to hard to find some healing.

I am a huge Batman fan and this is my favorite Batman film. It really felt like it told a full story of Batman. The trauma, the darkness, the vengeance, the light... You got a perfect but subtle view of how Batman is a slave to his trauma, his vengeance, and his need to heal, and they showed a real progression and arc of how he came to understand the need for hope. And I really hope there are more Batman movies with this crew.… Expand

Whilst not as cinematic or inventive as the Keaton/Burton or Bale/Nolan interpretations, this version of The Batman does lean into "world's greatest detective" areas of the characters lore that are often ignored. This at once feels fresh and trite as the script often leans on established detective noir tropes, which, especially in the voice over sections can feel cringeworthy due to some poor delivery from Pattinson.
Beyond these very short, seldom, poorly scripted moments however, the movie works very well. Whilst it may not have reached the very high heights of some Batman movies, it does feel authentic and compelling for the full 3 hour runtime and if nothing else it gives superhero movie fans something far more interesting to watch than the painfully dull, over sanitised Disney/Marvel, kids movies. Not perfect, by any means, but a great model to pursue for the future of the DC franchise.… Expand

By PG-13 I don't simply mean its visuals/goriness, but most importantly its dialogues, themes, and storytelling it tries to raise.

First, the dialogues. We get a glimpse of noir, but it soon falls flat due to a very uninteresting, plain, forgettable choice of words Batman used in his narration. Mind you, this is not a jab at Pattinson. But there is no emotion in his line of words. Batman in this film mutters words that are always very safe, very carefully chosen, which strikes as an odd contrast to Pattinson's tortured portrayal of Batman as someone with a seemingly pent up anger. His choice of words is very PG-13 so that the kids can understand what Batman is trying to convey.

Second, the storytelling. Despite being a film about vengeance-fueled Batman, we don't get to see him actually being in full "vengeance" mode. Batman's actions look very much apprehensive and controlled. Nothing too outrageous. Again, at odds with Pattinson's portrayal that seem to be full of anger; he's supposed to be really angry but somehow he still does not let his anger take the best of him.

Last, the depiction/visuals. I'm not speaking about cinematography (which is great), but how the scenes are depicted. The film sets this up as a film about hunting down a serial killer. But the film barely shows how cruel The Riddler can be to his victims. I'm not saying this film is terrible. The acting, given the limited script they had, is excellent. Pattinson did his best, so did Paul Dano (always likes him as a villain), Zoe Kravitz, and the rest. Cinematography is fantastic; the lighting, angle, everything here is very great that makes a couple of very good trailers - perhaps one could even say that the whole film trades off coherency for making the scenes "trailer-able". The music is iconic, although with an almost decent music directing. And I guess this detective Batman is a fresh breath of air.

But all that does not make the movie good as in the end it's still all over the places and very PG-13. Especially not with the 3 hours runtime where many scenes feel like a The Walking Dead filler episode.

If you're expecting a Batman film with similar gritty, tone to The Dark Knight trilogy or Joker, this film is not for you. But if you only want a live-action cartoon, I guess you can be satisfied with this one.… Expand

This is the Batman film I've wanted my whole life. Matt Reeves has made the most faithful Batman adaptation to date; pulling inspiration from numerous comics, the animated series, and video games; and it finally explorers the skills of the World's Greatest Detective. This is such a refreshing film that shakes things up for the superhero genre. It's actually not a superhero film at all; it's a deeply complex and layered crime noir thriller similar to a Seven, Chinatown, or Godfather feel. 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. It won't be for everyone, it might be too violent for kids, and people who love generic popcorn flicks probably won't like or appreciate it, but for lovers of Batman and true thrilling cinema, it's a must watch.… Expand

From his walk, to his stare to the fact that he didn't alter his voice. He brings a quiet, strong Batman with real emotional depth. His no killing rule is in full effect here, the way it should be. Zoe Kravitz is perfect as Catwoman. Bringing a grace, strength and beauty to the character. The chemistry between her and Robert Pattinson is undeniable. Colin Farrell's Penguin could step into any gangster movie and take it over. One of the best performances I have seen Farrell give. I can't wait for his HBO Max series. What Paul Dano has done with the Riddler is equal to or better than what Heath Ledger did for The Joker. The Riddler is terrifying. Dano brings a manic and craziness to Riddler that will forever change the way the character is seen. Jeffrey Wright is great as James Gordon. The interaction between Wright and Pattinson is spot on. This is the relationship the two share in the comics. Andy Serkis as Alfred is more a mentor than a father figure for Bruce. He's strong and unwavering. With a depth to him we only get a glimpse of. The Batmobile is so badass. It's loud, fast and strong as hell. The car chase is crazy fun. It's hands down the best Batmobile ever. Matt Reeves directing is spot on. Fleshing the characters out as they have never been before. It's hard taking a multiple series character movie and making it feel fresh and new. Reeves did this beyond my wildest dreams. All the characters feel familiar yet new. You're seeing things with these characters you have not seen before. You can feel how much each actor has embraced their character and this is Reeve's directing. This is the truest comic book Batman I have seen. Reeve's nailed the character better than any other director.… Expand

To start, the dialogue sounds like it was written by an edgy 12-year-old boy. I suppose that's fitting since that seems to be the target audience. It wants to be dark and edgy, without ever actually committing to anything dark or disturbing. It tries too hard while simultaneously falling flat. A lot of character decisions don't make much sense if you think about them too hard. The romance doesn't make any sense- it feels just shoved in there. There were some scenes that they clearly wanted to include, even if they didn't fit very well. Batman walking through water with people following- it's a cool shot, I admit, but it feels awkward and inconsistent with the rest of the scene/movie. Lastly, the movie is way too long at 3-hours. I don't regret watching it, but I wouldn't watch it again. The best part of this movie was that they included some amount of detective work on the part of batman- this is interesting and hasn't been included in other recent renditions of batman.

If you want to turn off your brain then this is probably a fine movie. If you have any bit of skepticism about what you're being presented, the movie will disappoint.… Expand

What ruined it for me though, was Robert Pattinson as Batman.
The way Batman was portrayedwas too edgy and emo for my liking. I read a lot of the Batman comics, and I get that he’s actually very often portrayed like this in the comics, but he’s also portrayed like this big, burly dude who got a hurt a long time ago, and now he’s dishing out his vengeance. He’s like a hurt kid hiding behind a ton of muscles.
While Robert Pattinson brings the muscles to the table, you can’t help but notice that he just looks like pale a vampire (I’m sorry, but it’s true), which makes the character seem more like a depressed teen, than a man who’s seen some **** Also, all scenes with Bruce Wayne could have been omitted as they served no purpose to further the plot.

Speaking of the plot, it’s very convoluted and messy. It draws some light inspiration from The Long Halloween, but combines it with a bigger-than-life, nonsensical story about The Riddler that would have worked well in a comic, but in this movie it falls flat.

I think the main reason for this is that the movie tried very hard to be grounded and gritty, but fails to ever mention why there’s a guy dressed like a bat in this dirty, realistic Gotham.
On one hand I understand why they chose not to address this; we’ve all heard the story a thousand times, and it doesn’t need to be retold - but on the other hand, here we have a city filled with terrible crime and cop drama, while a guy runs around dressed like a bat and everyone just accepts it.
Sure, the movies tries to justify this when The Batman first appears by having some thugs make fun of his costumes, but it is never brought up again or even questioned.

In “Joker”, which also rooted it self in realism, the character works because we get the backstory and an explanation for why a criminal dressed as a clown makes sense in this world.
On the other hand, we have Christopher Nolan’s movies, which were also somewhat realistic, but added lots of techy elements, that made the inclusion of a man dressed as a hi-tech bat feel less questionable.
“The Batman” just flat out ignores this whole conundrum; it’s a gritty, dark crime drama with a guy in a bat costume. When you say that sentence out loud, you’ll understand why the movie didn’t work for me. I’m not saying they had to retell his entire origin story, but when choosing to ditch the gadgets, make every other character dress in something more realistic and make Bruce Wayne as 2D as possible, it just seems so stupid that this guy would run around in that costume in this world. I know, I know; I’m supposed to just accept the premise because it’s a beloved character, but in my opinion, it just didn’t work in the world this movie set up.… Expand

Were it not for the final hour of this vastly overlong, needlessly complicated, exceedingly derivative attempt at creating a compelling Batman noir saga, director Matt Reeves's stab at imprinting his mark on this legendary franchise leavesWere it not for the final hour of this vastly overlong, needlessly complicated, exceedingly derivative attempt at creating a compelling Batman noir saga, director Matt Reeves's stab at imprinting his mark on this legendary franchise leaves much to be desired. With an opening two hours that drone on endlessly with humorless, joyless, one-note darkness, the picture manages to redeem itself somewhat in its end run, though, by that point, it's almost irrelevant. The narrative's overreliance on rehashed plot devices, recurrent red herrings, uninspired action sequences, pedestrian villains and a surprising distance from its comic book roots combine to turn what should be a thrill ride into a mediocre snoozy slog. Thankfully, fine supporting performances from John Turturro, Colin Farrell and Paul Dano, as well as capable production values, help to enliven this project somewhat, but, again, this isn't enough to raise the film's overall quality level. Indeed, the rave factor being lavished on this offering truly isn't deserved, especially when compared to the movies in the Christopher Nolan trilogy, all three of which outclass this release at every turn. I can't say I'm sorry I saw this, but I doubt I'll watch it again or rush out to see any sequels that comes in its wake.… Expand

+ Cinematography was excellent.
+ Sound design and Batman's theme was dope.
+ Robert Pattinson as a young Batman was impressive.
+ Catwoman and the Riddler were cool.

Кино выглядит очень дёшево. Дёшево в нем всё. Сюжет начинается ни чем, ни чем и заканчивается. Костюмы выглядят ну очень так себе. Бэтмен большую часть фильма ездит не на супер навороченном бэтмобиле, а на дешёвом мотике. Вместо приборов ночного видения у него фонарик. ФОНАРИК У БЭТМЕНА!!!
Враги берутся неоткуда. Их мотивы тоже тайна. Лично я так и не понял мотивации "Загадочника". Да шишки Готэма уроды, но зачем убивать простых людей. Ещё я не понял зачем он сдался?
Так же не понял, какой осёл построил город в каком то котловане, который можно так легко затопить? А если землетрясение?
Более менее хорошо прорисован Альфред, да и то его убрали в середине фильма.
Честно говоря мне фильм больше напомнил какой то Condemned чем историю о тёмном рыцаре.
Признаюсь фильм начинал смотреть трижды. Первый раз заснул после 40 минут, второй раз ближе к финалу. Фильм невероятно нудный.
Хотя авторы как мне кажется решили сделать Брюса менее супер героем, а более человеком. Но это тоже не особо получилось. Паттинсон не обладает богатырской фигурой, но при весе в 70 кг умудряется расшвыривать 100 килограммовых мужиков пачками. Это ли не супер-дупер сила? То же касается и 40 килограммовой девочки кошки, у которой, опять таки, денег на нормальную маску не хватило.
Но самый большой вопрос у меня к персонажу "Пингвин". Зачем нужно было платить, я думаю не малые деньги, звезде Колину Фарреллу, если его лица всё равно узнать нельзя. На него натянули силиконовую маску, под которой мог находиться кто угодно. Да и сам персонаж какой то безыдейный. Кстати, почему его зовут пингвин я так и не понял.
Резюмирую. Фильм проходной, как по мне его ещё можно исправить в сиквеле, который точно будет, ведь в финале нам показали Джокера! Последний кстати тоже сидит в тюрьме Аркхэм. Чо он там делает и как попал, не понятно.
В сиквеле можно развить истории персонажей, может тогда фильм и заиграет.… Expand

This is world building at its finest and it’s the way it should be. Many movies don’t pay attention to the world they’re inviting the audience into but this is done brilliantly. This is a more believable character than the one in the Dark Knight but it lacks those amazing scenes that you got with the Joker. The villain is interesting and you understand his point but the Joker seems more villainous. Look I’m not asking for another Joker movie. I feel like that’s done. Maybe scarecrow or someone like that next.

A movie finally did justice to the name, World's Greatest Detective. Robert Pattinson is perfect. Paul Dano's Riddler is freaking scary as hell. All of the cast gave it their all.

Fast paced plot with great action sequences, there's always something going on. There are some minor pacing issues here and there but no biggie.
As I said, as a Batman fan, this is the perfect movie for me. But at the same time I really can't tell how the general audience will feel. This isn't your typical Superhero action flick. You have to be patient. There are a lot of things going on and that all comes together in a great third act. So, yup great movie. Go and watch it in the biggest screen possible.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Batman (2022) is an almost perfect adaptation on the character of Batman. It uses its amazing cast to create a true crime/mystery story about one of the most famous Batman villains told in a narrative by Robert Pattinsons, Batman. This film is a true character study of Batman and highlights some of the key parts of the character.

In particular, the first 20 minutes stood out to me as it shows the crime and corruption of a place like Gotham city. This is the first take on the city where you truly feel immersed in what is going on there. The city doesn’t feel like Chicago or Pittsburgh. The city has life, you can see this in the shots at the beginning where you can see the rubbish lying around and the horrible conditions people are living in.

The acting in this film was truly fantastic, every character had a chance to shine and really do so. Robert Pattinson and Paul Dano were the particular stand out to me, Robert Pattinson showed the depressed side of Batman perfectly in contrast to what we have previously seen in films like The Dark Knight. Paul Dano played a mentally insane man perfectly and was genuinely terrifying when on screen. Zoë Kravitz and Collin Farrell were also both amazing however one flaw I think there was, was making Selina Kyle, Falcone’s daughter. It just seemed to be a bit of a cop out on the story.

Overall though, Matt Reeves did an amazing job. I loved this film and cannot wait to watch it again.… Expand

Absolutely great, with Pattison bringing in an interpretation of the character never seen before. But the best performance? None other than Colin Farrell as the Penguin! He is utterly unrecognizable and should I say Oscar worthy. Other than that, incredible production designs as per usual from WB. Biggest weakness of the film? It is 3 hours long and while it made the story coherent, as a movie it does it a bit disservice. Other than that, a great start for this franchise.… Expand

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.

It’s funny how much his Batman is alive. Though his Bruce Wayne does show the inner scars more of any other Bruce Wayne. It is a little too overdone where you could consider him emo Bruce Wayne.
