“Seems like he wants to die” that’s actually Bruce’s whole mind set in the movie. He’s reckless and angry, if he gets hurt it doesn’t matter to him.

[@nattteo]

I agree with you, he's super edgy the whole film, but I don't think this theme really hit home because we never actually see him get hurt. Like I get the movie is trying to be like "he's hurting on the inside" but my man is tanking bullets left and right like he's superman, and despite all the things that happen to him in the film, he basically just shakes it all off like it's nothing. It's hard to have this theme of self destruction if it isn't really shown. I think you could even apply this on a more emotional scale. Like he's clearly very depressed and having trouble emotionally, but we don't see his behavior affecting his relationships really. By the end of the movie he's "got the girl" and everything seems to be on the up and up, but that's not because he changed anything about himself.... it just, you know, happened XD

[@RedX35]

@@nattteo I hear you, definitely agree w what you’re saying. I think we do get small bits and pieces of that in the film, although it’s very subtle. Like when we see Bruce in the bat cave and his back is all scarred and bruised, or when he retaliates against Alfred like an angsty teen saying “you’re not my father”. Maybe if we saw more of these repercussions it could’ve hit that idea home a little harder. I personally enjoyed the subtleties of the film and what it had to offer, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing more of Bruce’s character in this aspect as well.

[@cassandragray1747]

[@mddxs]

The thing about him being the “weakest” Batman is because he’s young and reckless. He’s been the Batman for two years and only by the end of the movie he understand his role as more important than this vigilante guy that scares people. He’s building to be strong and smart, so he’s not the best at it yet and I think that’s amazing.

[@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult]

Tbh I think it makes sense for Batman to not be super buff. In order to build a lot of muscle he would have to: use steroids, sleep 8 hours a day while eating chicken and broccoli 5 times a day. I could see Pattinson's Batman sleeping through the day because he is an heir, but how would Bale's Batman have a good sleep while he is a business man by day AND fights crime by night?

[@luisz222]

Weirdly enough his feats in this movie far outshine Bale’s fighting scenes in the nolan trilogy. You actually get the sense he’s a master martial artist I mean he barely struggled with fighting goons except for the dude who just blasted his shotgun in his chest. Batman easily overpowers a few guys at once. Bale just flailing his elbows around always looked stupid to me. Ben and Rob had far better choreography.

[@cchh1]

I kinda love how ppl look at Batman like he’s a weirdo when he’s present during the crime scene because think about it in a real life scenario.

I think the ‘bad casting’ kind of adds to the story, with Gotham being a disorganized city with a lot of crime. A not-intimidating officer and a ‘weak’ DA fit that picture.

about the lack of sexual tension between Catwoman and Batman: That was OBVIOUSLY intentional. We've seen Robert Pattinson in several movies that included love stories.

We're so used to seeing Batman already knowing everything, knowing every corner and street of Gotham like for Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. Their Batmans were masters already.

[@cassandragray1747]

A lot of people get so weird about long runtimes in certain movies but I think this one is a clear example of why that can be a good thing; shots are held for longer periods than in other movies, especially without dialogue, but that isn't a useless device - it helps to communicate things subtly, build tension, atmosphere, blah blah, but it can also really help an audience to digest what they're seeing as things play out. And then especially if that slow pace switches to something really fast-paced - like the car chase scene - it REALLY feels like a change in pace, which just adds to the effect.

[@chiedzawith2ds]

I really liked that it was long. It used the time well.

To me this Batman is perfect. He's young, full of grief, anger, no real will to live, reckless and immature. Here he's learning how to be a hero and maturing to become THE Batman. Amazing amazing job!

[@matt-oo6fu]

the "serum" is just adrenaline, i think. And he cut the cord because with the water rising, it would have eventually touched the surface and electrocuted everyone in the water. So while it shocked him cutting it, he did it to save everyone else. A lot of his "weakness" is willingness to take hits. He's reckless and doesn't care if he dies. He has a lack of fear that ironically makes him a worse fighter-- not unlike The Dark Knight Rises. He only has a vague idea of what he wants to do, and is primarily motivated by anger and vengeance, and that's exactly what everyone sees him as, including the people he's trying to help. Hence the guy in the beginning begging him not to hurt him, and his reaction to the Riddler's follower saying "I'm Vengeance." That's when he realizes what he really is, and what he's done wrong.

Great review as always, Dylan. I was also half-expecting a Batman breakdance in the Iceberg Lounge, lmao. I thought it was a great movie; went in with average expectations and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It had been a while since I was so legitimately creeped out by the villain of a comic book movie the way I was by Paul Dano’s Riddler. While there were some things I would have changed (like Batman’s failed glide off the tower, and a few certain aspects of the car chase scene), for the most part I was fully drawn into the story, the characters, and the world of Gotham City. Needless to say, I liked it a lot and I’m excited for the sequel.

26:45 The "serum" he took was a mix of epinephrine and adrenaline, to overcome the pain and probably significant internal injuries he had from tanking a pair of 12 gauge shotgun blasts at near-point-blank range (that probably cracked his sternum and a few ribs)...the cord he cut was live and dangling inches above the waterline, if it touched the water everybody in the water would've been fried.

In this movie, the bat signal is used more as a warning sign to criminals in order to scare them, which I really like. I found it really interesting. I don't know if the bat signal has been used in that way before, but I like that they added that element to the movie ,it's really cool.

It always had been for letting criminals know batman is out. And even if it wasn't intended. Seeingagiant bat in the clouds and then a man in bat suit appear from darkness pretty much sums it haha

Was about to say the same. For years I failed to see how the criminals of Gotham could be afraid of a vigilante in bat suit. I didn't see it as practical and saw it as silly but the batman helped me realise that the signal, the suit, the lurking in the shadows, It's all about building this fear complex. They never know where he is, Some don't even know what he is "but when that light hits the sky, it's not just a signal, it's a warning"

Some differences that makes this one stand out from the others: Other variants had him with an entire team of scientists who put his gadgets together for him. In here, he makes them himself. I seem to remember in others, Gordon simply slipped him case files, and he did the work on his own time. In here, he's actually working with the cops and going to crime scenes. Not to mention he demonstrates a knowledge of forensics. Also speaks directly to people who claim Batman sucks as a hero because Gotham is still crime ridden: how is he supposed to clean up Gotham when the entire system is corrupted?

He's supposed to be realistic/ inexperienced (hence the crappy wing suit) but then he crashes full speed into a moving truck, bounces of a bridge and rolls away with next to no damage! Even Nolan's batman had bruises!! Another scene where there are no consequences?

And I'm scared af that they would either stole Jason's whole backstory (like they did in Batman Beyond giving it to Tim, and with "Cass" in BOP or in the Snyderverse where the Robin that Joker killed was aparently Dick?) and give it to Dick or just....completely ruin him.

@@ryanward5770 Well he is a psycho. Right idea, horrible methods. It's pointed out in his goon saying "I am vengeance" and reflects Batman's current state of mind, hence his growth.

Another point I would add is Annika's death being the reason they find out Falcone is the rat. Like maybe batman/Bruce goes to see Maroni in prison to find out about his father and filling in the dots that way. And even show batman interrogate more corrupt cops like Kenzie

I agree. Once the reporter was mentioned, I thought Riddler was his son. It would’ve been really cool thematically. We see varying degrees of wronged children and orphans with Falcone as the center. Selina’s quest for vengeance for her mother, and how she ultimately decides not to kill Falcone. Bruce’s overall anger and guilt from his parents’ deaths and what his father did to cover his ass and Martha’s. Whereas Riddler ends up killing Falcone and targeting those he felt wronged him. It’d be even more personal if he was the reporter’s son, showing how Batman and Riddler are two sides of the same coin in a way.

"My Name" did a amazing execution with the plot and ending, the cost for what she wanted was such an incredibly sad. You can see her reality shift once again, and vengeance this time is boiling inside of her.
