Batman Review By Comicstorian & ComicPop & Auram | Absolutely Marvel & DC

[@R__creator]

The "darkest" Batman movie to date, is actually the most hopeful one to date and I loved it.

[@overlord6993]

Its even more hopeful than the last snyder superman movies

[@trchbrr]

Yes

[@pay7232]

I just got home from seeing this film. It was amazing. It was great to see detective Batman trying to solve a crime. Movie starts and literally doesn’t stop until the credits.

[@turtleanton6539]

Sounds great

[@robertwild9447]

Literally 15 minutes into the movie I thought to myself "This is the most Batman Batman movie I've ever seen". I couldn't possibly rank it yet, but it might make my top 5 favorite batman movies (including the animated movies, and there are many good ones).

[@pay7232]

@Robert Wild I 100% agree with you, but I might rank it as my favorite? I have been nonstop thinking about this film? Movie? Since seeing it. I honestly have no idea how you would describe what the hell it is. It is beautifully shot art. I’m so shocked Warner Bros gave their stamp of approval to allow this to be seen by people. I’m very happy they did and Matt Reeves and company should all be patting themselves on the back.

[@robertwild9447]

@@pay7232 I couldn't agree more! This film really felt like reading a graphic novel to me.

[@robertjones8430]

To put it simply: The Batman is everything I've ever wanted in a Batman movie. Sal really hit the nail on the head when he said this feels like you're reading a Batman comic. To put it less simply: The best way I can describe it is that while I was watching the film I remember thinking that it felt like I was following a video game storyline (in the best way). The story was so rich and engaging that it felt like you were being given the same amount of passion, respect and character development that I'd only previously seen from the Arkham games or the animated series. I don't know if that analogy makes sense to anyone else but that's the best way I can describe it

[@doorsfan173]

Yes, I totally understand where you're coming from. It also feels a great deal like you're reading the best of a Miller (really Year One)/Loeb/Scott Snyder mashup with a noir murder mystery. Fantastic movie.

[@Herosmurf]

I felt the exact same way, and when Batman gives his speech monologue near the end about needing to inspire hope too I genuinely teared up. It's everything I wanted from Batman.

[@astrotheultimate]

I felt like I was reading a really good elseworlds comic or a something like year one-in all the best ways. Matt Reeves understands Batman so so well. I loved it.

[@shadowofthfalln]

Gonna be honest, everytime the little kid showed up during the film I would turn to my wife and tell her "It's okay you're safe now Robin."

[@saiyanmgtow]

Haha. Yup. That kid's mom is so dead next movie, making the kid an orphan.

[@joefayant6143]

This movie has the best reveal of a car I’ve ever seen in film. This movie is a fucking masterpiece

[@turtleanton6539]

Wow

[@doorsfan173]

So many comments have pointed out what's great about this movie (detective story, beautiful cinematography, casting, so on, it's all true). I just want to shout out the quality of the fight scenes. I've been so sick of disorienting quick cuts in superhero movie fights, and this movie has stellar (BRUTAL) fight choreography that your eyes can actually follow. Props to the actors, stunt actors, fight choreographers, and everyone involved.

[@Dorkyboi-1218]

This movie was incredible to me. I haven’t watched a Batman movie where I was not only at the edge of my seat but also quietly murmuring to myself about what I noticed. The world had such strong resemblance to Batman: Earth 1 and it was such a ride. My biggest question at the end was where is Tommy Elliot or if he existed? The reference was very heavy handed even using the word “Hush” that Tommy HAS to show up at some point in the future. I actually did not care about the Joker cameo in this movie which can either be due to Joker fatigue in the comics or in media. Another idea could just be that we are too early for it. But I would like to know what happened to Hush in the world because targeting a Wayne due to the family requesting your father’s death can really shake a boy.

[@darthbatman8063]

5 things I want to see in the sequel: 1. Give us Robin 2. Don’t have the Joker be the main villain 3. A new suit with a Neal Adams design 4. Have The Court of Owls as the main villains 5. Continue Batman and Catwoman’s love story

[@Random-qi3vv]

rumour is that Mr freeze is the enxt villain

[@jamiehoneycutt4865]

It’s a big difference from the Dark knight trilogy where Batman says they need someone to believe in and that’s Harvey Dent. Like no you can be that beacon of hope for Gotham.

[@TheClitCommander530]

I loved it! It was straight up Seven meets Batman: Earth 1. Everything about the movie is great, but the score and sound design is insanely well crafted. Did anyone else notice a little hint of Batman TAS theme during the car chase sequence? *Italian chef kiss*

[@MrMiller36]

Yup!!

[@zackalexon7020]

The ending gave me a feeling I've never had in any other superhero movie

[@3210elio]

I watched a Matt Reeves interview explaining why he put the joker in the movie and he said that it is to signify to the audience that after the fall of Falcone, there is a power vacuum and the joker scene hints at what kinds of people will take advantage of that vacuum as well as telling us that the fight for Gotham is not over. Also, regarding the costumes of Riddler and Catwoman, Reeves believes that the comics dictate that costumed villains appear as a response to the rise of Batman, so that's why that they still look like that for now.

[@preheatedmusic3179]

My theater was dead silent as well not even a clap at the end but on the way out everyone was talking about how much they loved it and I also didn’t see anyone get up at all during the movie.

[@RebornRider03]

Same. Dead silence, and I loved it. Now that’s what I call a good movie. Even the fun scene my screening didn’t laugh which is fine, I just laughed not loudly like some kids do at a mcu movie 😡. The funniest scene is with batman and Gordon capture penguin and him feeling them the difference from the riddle

[@owen_asztalos]

7:28 remember in Arkham Knight how Jason was over top of Batman and he made the comment about his chest being the strongest part of his armor because psychologically it’s where criminals are most drawn to shoot at due to the big bat symbol. Obviously paraphrasing but it just popped into mind

[@dumbinacan4u]

The fact that Batman kinda wins...but also kinda loses here was AMAZING to me. Even my wife pointed out just how much she loved the fact that the goons were getting hits in every time! Because at the end of the day, he is just a man. So good

[@milliondotz]

It's Raw. Chills the entire time, every step of the way. I loved this movie so much, the suspense the characters and the story was great. And the way Gotham looks is exactly what I wanted. Its Tim Burton gothic animated series Gotham, but done in a realistic way. It's not "I guess this is Chicago or like New York, but a little different?

[@thecocomastiux3655]

The casting was really good in an unexpected way. Not one of the actors was anyones first choice and yet they all knocked it out of the park. Also SPOILERS did anyone else feel like Hush was going to be revealed as the villain? The journalist Falcone killed had the last name Elliot name and the word Hush appeared on screen during that scene. I think it would have derailed the movie if he was the villain, especially if he and Riddler were going to be merged into one character as I thought. That being said I thought it was a cool misdirect.

[@DanV900]

Paul Dano was my first choice as Riddler and I was so glad that Jonah Hill dropped out due to wanting too much money. I said Pattinson could play Batman after Good Time. No, I didn’t think Hush would be revealed as the villain behind it all. Matt Reeves mentioned wanting to use Hush in a sequel before where he’s not going to mention him if he was in this movie.

[@mikerosoft2179]

the journalist who falcone killed might be hush's dad in this universe if they use hush.

[@ramblinman07]

Worst thing about seeing The Batman? My theater showed a trailer for Morbius back to back before the movie started.

[@oatmat]

The Robin nod with Alfred talking about his time in the circus was pretty cool, joker was sweet as well

[@123rocket19]

I thought Alfred was referencing his time in MI-6 but who knows lol.

[@oatmat]

@@123rocket19 no he says circus at on point early on

[@123rocket19]

@@oatmat Sounds like it is time for me to watch the movie again. Awesome!

[@ReelPopcornGeek]

@@oatmat The 'circus' he referenced was his time in Military Intelligence. Not an actual circus.

[@sterling9314]

“The Circus” is a slang term/nickname for MI6, the British military intelligence organization Alfred was in during his younger years. He wasn’t a literal circus performer.

[@StopCallingMeShirley1180]

I was personally fine with Riddler’s design in this. It looked like what a serial killer/terrorist would pick up at a sporting goods store with touches of Riddler in it-the green color scheme, the question mark, and the Batman Forever glasses. I’m willing to bet we’ll get a more iconic look in his comeback, especially considering he’s apparently teaming up with Joker.

[@mokeish]

Loved it boys, it's nice having something good for Sal and Dylan to talk about, me and benny love everything. He took the best ideas from Tim Burton and really fleshed this out, it felt like more then a comic, it had so many breathing moments where we got see the actors act. Jim Gordon was amazing. Penguin, amazing. The lighting, omg. I wasn't big on his hair, but bare in mind Bruce Wayne has always been the disguise.

[@Afroman792]

They gave batman such a sense of weight. I loved it. The most batman, batman movie.

[@ghostops5988]

I love the fact that Batman almost failed and he's againing experience slowly

[@mickeyveach3612]

If it's any consolation, Matt Reeves has said in an interview with Variety that he doesn't intend to use the Joker in a sequel. It was there for strictly thematic reasons. But I bet that will change.

[@Jack91790]

I think he and the Riddler will be in the sequel, but not the central villian.

[@lantztalksmanga]

Spoiler warning for the Batman. I don't know why you're reading the comment section of a KZbin video if you haven't seen the movie but just in case, you have been warned. This is by far my favorite Batman film. I think it does a great job of mixing realism with comic book campyness. I do wish Alfred had a bit more screen time in this movie just so the audience could build a bit more of a connection to this version of the character so his injuries would have more of an emotional impact. The Joker cameo is a bit disappointing as I like many others are suffering from Joker fatigue but it does make sense that WB wants to milk that cow for all it's worth. If this Batman does get a Trilogy then I hope Matt Reeves will save Joker for the third movie to give us a bit more breathing room in-between live action Jokers.

[@shadowpup3016]

I think maybe just maybe they might make a joker but not make him a big time like they usually do kinda be like hey yeah I do want a friend in the riddler but just someone Batman easily beat down in the past as the main threats will be those in high intelligence or planning which creates his persona of the world’s greatest detective

[@lantztalksmanga]

@@shadowpup3016 I would totally be fine with that. But given WB's history I don't think they're going to let Joker be a background character.

[@shadowpup3016]

@@lantztalksmanga the only recent time they have done that is young justice I think where he isn’t a big bad more like a after thought

[@koushikraja331]

Jesus, this movie's Gotham. It felt like a legit dour, depressing shit hole. It felt like a character.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

I did like that Zoe Kravitz didn't wear her mask very much compare to Pattison since, at least in my opinion, I see that as Catwoman's way to show that she is not afraid of him, different any other person who Batman meet. She doesn't hide his face from Batman, allowing to see her expression and her confidence, which is what cause Batman to have interest in Selina and eventually fall in love with her.

[@ozzyalbor8292]

I understand the lack of Bruce Wayne criticism but the amount of Batman I get from this movie is something else 🥰🥰🥰

[@deltafive_o-first2417]

Almost everything about it was so good and I cant wait to see more

[@MrRobot1984]

Anyone else feel like Batman’s theme was similar to the imperial death March for darth Vader?

[@freebird6591]

When i tried to hum the theme to my mate who hasnt seen the film yet, it ended up coming out as the imperial march... Took me a few seconds to realize what i was humming... Haha. Also i totally think Dr. Stranges theme from his first film and the others is a direct rip off of the new Chris Pine Star Trek Films....

[@adamfanalways]

Movie was so awesome 👏 I was completely engrossed all the way thru! Robert Pattinson is fantastic, he’s Batman! Now he’s my favorite Batman and my favorite Batman movie 🎥

[@adamfreddo5703]

*Spoilers* I find it fascinating though that he's already fought the Joker. Like that's an interesting approach. Like "oh yeah, he dealt with that 'loser' ages ago".

[@lexofpower2822]

Same here, I don’t think he’ll be the main villain in any movies soon. But I like the idea that he’s around, just not as the main focus.

[@MizoMisualpa]

The deleted joker scene actually sounds really awesome. You guys should check the latest video on this channel

[@sterling9314]

But when Batman took joker down, was he already joker or just the red hood? 🤔

@@darthekul1 ooh awesome

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Personally, for the batman sequels, I think the villains should be: 2nd movie - Scarecrow and Ventriloquist & Scarface 3rd movie - Hugo Strange and the Arkham inmates (Joker, Riddler, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc and doctor Harlem Quinzel)

[@overlord6993]

It was so intriguing and made me feel like a 10 year old again, the 3 hours just went by like the flash

[@AceTheCap823]

The action in this movie is how Nolan’s action should’ve been. Like obviously he won’t be as nearly as overpowered as animated or Arkham Batman let alone comic batman, but it’s actually fun to watch

[@tap-tapnomi1048]

Suicide squad then PeaceMaker, an now finally Batman.. We have witnessed a miracle

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

I'm with Sal in this entire movie! I had such a blast and look forward to a second viewing!

[@wokenlunatic2849]

When Batman injected himself with the green juice I thought it’s venom two (like maybe this version Batman made The Venom Serum and then sooner or later someone might take that simply made Bane)

[@duruyldrm8450]

Honestly the thing that I loved the most was the opening, the fact that it started from the second year was the best part. The murder of his parents has been so overdone in my opinion so I’m glad they didn’t show us.

[@MCLegoboy]

This movie is great. I think I only felt the length of the movie when Batman and Catwoman were meeting at the tower where the Batsignal is before she ran off to do more stuff on her own (before nabbing that one guy and calling in Batman and Gordon), I resisted the urge to look at my watch because then I knew I'd be doing that the rest of the movie. Other than that, I thought it was great. I thought everything worked from the cast to the tone to the score. I think the plot may have gotten a little complicated, but I also might just be stupid, but with rewatches, I'm sure I'll make better sense of everything as is the case with any movie. In regards to theater experience, I was a bit distracted by this guy to the left of me (a whole empty seat between us mind you) that had to be in his 60s that seemed to have something to say about what actor was portaying which character or had to state the obvious to his wife, except it didn't seem like she even asked for him to speak either. Shut up and watch the movie you jerk, how did you get this old without learning theater etiquette? Seriously, this guy complained that there were commercials being played before the previews instead of at most four cartoons (maybe he was from the 40s because that's got to be something that stopped by the 60s at the latest and he would have only been a kid then when movies still weren't made with him in mind), guessed incorrectly about every preview that played, and then there was some sort of plastic snack thing he was messing with halfway through the movie and throwing to the floor. Where's Vengeance when I need him? That've kept him quiet.

[@chrisblanchard6422]

Btw. Did they stealth canonize Bane at the end by having Batman take Venom? Or was I thinking too much?

I don't think the Joker will necessarily be the villain of the next movie, his cameo was just put in there to establish that he already exists in this universe, since there's been rumors going around that the sequel's villain could be Mr. Freeze, which I am interested to see.

[@turtleanton6539]

Freeze needs a good movie

[@999davek]

I loved the movie and I'm on the same boat in a sense about the Joker but I would like to see him maybe not as the main villain but maybe as a prisoner in Arkham that Batman speaks with to get in the mind of the villain like Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs I feel like it would add a cool dynamic to the story

Spoilers I must the only person that didn’t mind the Joker moment. I look at it as he’s not Joker yet, at least that’s what Matt Reeves has said. He was a guy that did some bad things, didn’t call himself Joker, and Batman put him in Arkham. I could see it as a John Doe Telltale approach to the character. That’s just my thoughts on where they could go with him. However, I don’t see him being a major threat in the next movie. Maybe the third, but not the second.

Riddler was really fun. The actor really sold me on him and they did a great job with how he looked like an average Joe. I still am not sold on his mask, his name change for no reason and all that jazz. Spoiler-ish stuff below this point. The way he wants to be seen and how determined he is to be in the spotlight was fantastic. As was the way he convinces himself he and Batman are cut from the same cloth. His writting was really well done.

But we’ve never really scene that middle portion, that Year Two of Batman. The I got the suit but I’m still new to this. And we see the after effect of Batman has on people, criminals and regulars people alike. That transition from outside the law to working with. Also great detective movie it fully stays on Batman the entire time!!!! Like you can’t really leave this movie!!!

[@wokenlunatic2849]

I think Robert version of Bruce Wayne is probably what Bruce Wayne would be in real life because I mean his parents got shot he saw his mum and dad died when he was a kid that would traumatised any kid Batman or not (this is like when people freak out that The Man of Steel’s Clark Kent is different than The Clark Kent in the comic or even The Classic Superman movies but actually Sups don’t have to be stupid or clumsy he can act normal because literally anyone can be Superman you can’t make people you not Superman because you act like a nerd in high school just act normal would work too, Sups decided would still be stupid because glasses don’t make someone a different person it’s not like a mask but still)

[@SpiralSine6]

I will say, I did really enjoy the movie but I really felt it’s length. I’ve sat through super long movies before that managed to fly by, but partly by design this movie wanted you to feel how long and intense it is. After the “twist” of Falcone getting assassinated, I thought the movie was almost over and Riddler would just get captured, bing bang boom. Then I accidentally saw my watch and was like “what the hell there’s still another hour to go???”

Matt Reeves said for years he planned on doing a trilogy going back to 2019. It was never meant to be a one off. He said in another interview this year how when he went to WB, he said he didn’t want to make anything connected to DCEU assuming he wouldn’t get the job. WB was all in on him back in 2017 and was like, go for it. Affleck was going to be done and was never doing his solo film once he passed on directing it.

[@reflectionist]

The Twilight series is not narratively compelling. It's not a good story, it's not a cool universe, it's a fuckin' slog to be in and around, the characters come off a bit strong with the 'blank slate to project yourself on to' thought... ..Watch them. Every second that Robert Pattinson is on camera, and isn't the focus of the shot, he is doing SOMETHING to show that he doesn't give a shit about these movies, this universe, or this role, at all. He's rolling his eyes, mouthing other actor's lines, pretending to fall asleep, it's gold. There's a scene in Star Wars Episode 2 where Anakin is looking at Padme and she goes, "Don't look at me like that. That's fucking creepy." and that's exactly the expression that Edward Cullen has on his face the ENTIRE MOVIE. I always felt bad for Robert Pattinson getting so much backlash for Twilight... because I was in the theatre like Amos Fuckin' Diggory screaming, 'THAT'S MY BOYYYYYYY" watching The Batman.

Even if I'm really not looking forward to more dark Batman movies, I can acknowledge it was really well made.

Also I'm not annoyed when Batman has a gadget for everything, because it's supposed to be ridiculous. I'm pretty much the reverse and I normally dislike dark Batman (Stopped reading in the mid 90's). It's a guy running around in a bat suit. He really shouldn't be taking himself too seriously (Like as an urban myth in Gotham at night his costume works, but in public on the Justice League in the light he kind of looks silly. ) I was meh on the first Tim Burton Batman and really didn't like the second one, but loved 3/4. Liked the first 25 or so minutes of Begins but got really bored with the rest. Dark Knight I liked Batman and the Joker but the rest wasn't anything special. hated Dark Knight Rises, and was not found of Batfleck in anything(just very forgettable to me).

@@blakepittman6679 campy Batman is more interesting if your looking at the larger Dc universe, like if he was going on adventures with Aquaman, green arrow, and Blue beetle. Brave and the Bold is probably the best example

[@blakepittman6679]

@@tyandre see, I did not like Brave and The Bold at all. Did not appeal to me in the slightest. Campy Batman is just disinteresting to me altogether.

@@tyandre Brave and the Bold is amazing. Batman being a brooding loner all the time gets tiring.

They say “Fal-coney” in Batman Begins which most people remember. They said “Fal-cone” in the Gotham TV show which no one needs to acknowledge.

The best thing they could do with the trilogy is to tease the Joker all way through but never fully show him or have him battle the Batman

51:09 oh I thought that was literally just an adrenaline shot, guess we gotta wait for Matt Reeves to talk about it

As far as the joker scene. It would have been so good if they showed you how the riddler was in such distress then cuts to a scene where he’s in an office in sort of a catatonic state and then Harley Quinn is his therapist. It would hint to the joker without showing the joker. And you wouldn’t even have to go any further with it. I definitely did not like the joker we were shown. He seemed like he was like 20 years old. If joker were to be brought into the next movie I’d like to one in his 40’s/50’s. Definitely not Joaquin. A joker that is much more of a criminal mastermind. Joker is definitely played out. I don’t know if we’ll ever have a better joker than heath ledger.

Clearly not the same universe as Joker because of Thomas Wayne
