It's crazy how quickly these movies are hitting streaming services these days.
Growing up, I always felt like you'd have to wait 6 months after theatrical release to get your hands on the DVDs. |

The dialogue exchange between Batman & the Joker was so well done as were the cinematography (where you can't quite make out just how revolting the Joker looks) So well written / acted and brilliantly done (especially the very end) Could you imagine any of these villains that were featured in Reeves' The Batman existing in the MCU? Kevin Feige would probably piss his pants after watching that excellently done deleted scene Feige sure as shit would have had major "creative differences" with Matt Reeves that's for sure. . . Barry Keoghan is just such a great young hungry actor with raw energy and brings it strong in everything I've seen him in. He was one of the creepiest most disturbing characters I've seen in quite sometime in The Killing of a Sacred Dear. I'm planning on seeing The Batman again sometime on Sunday because I need to see it again on the biggest screen I can get to. Last edited by sully1983; 03-26-2022 at 07:26 AM.. |

Matt Reeves and Pattinson's take on Bruce Wayne/Batman was actually pretty refreshing IMO. This Batman won't be featured in any kind of push up/ weight training montage and probably skips arm days all the time nor was he taught anything from the League of the Shadows. Pattinson portrayed Batman really well as the obsessed/no nonsense young detective of Gotham. .
You won't ever see this Bruce Wayne driving thru Gotham with a bunch of super models or making public appearances at political fundraisers (not to mention can barely crack a smile if ever) Absolutely loved how anti social and ****ed in the head Batman was. His "batcave" looked like a worn down POS bomb bunker and he would always wear dark shades during the day (all while not giving a flying **** about how he looked) Hence the grungy look and brilliantly use of that Nirvana song. Ditto on the batmobile. Thought it was awesome and fit well with Pattinson's "don't give a ****" portrayal of Batman. |

This movie could have been one for the ages, but there was enough subpar elements that I think will relegate it to being a short-lived part of superhero culture.
The cinematography is stunning and this might be the best version of Gotham we've gotten. Colin Ferrell steals the show, my god was he terrific. Batman's grounded capabilities was a nice change of pace from his usual "more tech than the CIA possess". The new Batmobile was much cooler than I thought it would be, and the highway chase scene was well done. A few things bother me, namely the directional choice to make ever piece of dialogue a loud whisper. Speaking of the dialogue, there was nothing remotely special about the writing in this show. My excitement for this being a noir flick was tempered by the milquetoast dialogue and ho-hum chase of the Riddler's "mystery". It's clear this was a movie made for Zoomers, and I won't spoil who "the baddies" are. Dano, who is normally competent to terrific, was miscast here. |
