Christian Bale was my Batman in the mid-2000s to the early 2010s. Robert Pattinson is the true successor of cinematography Batman in the 2020s, imo. And, yes, Batman has flaws like any superhero with the double life as a billionaire and vigilante. But, is it not those flaws which leads to the best qualities that defies "The Cape Crusader"? The Batman 2022 was a great film, and way above Morbius & DS: MoM.

Bale, Pattinson is drama actor and both characters are psychic🤪 (that haven't realized, torn autodestructive...) masks. And Nolan went through long era ~20y,when becoming and using his drive into something useful, not just as burden. That's mainly difference, If movie is part of years when did started to experience "other side" OK, but isn't, just kid who learned things too late (instead early as should. Trauma makes people "grow faster" in every way. Can ask any psychiatrist) To become what is had to cope with lots more than shows, and much, much earlier!!!

Ben Affleck is the most physical Batman, at least in BvS, but the best voice belongs to Kevin Connroy, as well as the best screenplay, may it be in Batman the animated Series, the Arkham Game Triology, Batman Beyond, Justice League the animated Series, Justice League Unlimited or the animated DC Movies with Kevin as Batman(at least about how Batman is written and except the killing Joke(don't f*** with Barb you danm Idiot))

Ben Affleck is my favorite. He's the only one to get Batman AND Bruce Wayne right. And he looks the part, especially as Batman. The warehouse fight scene in BvS is hands down the best Batman fight scene there is. I would much rather have seen his Deathstroke film than Reeves overrated insomnia cure.

What I’ve learnt from this film… People don’t understand people have different tastes. I love this film despite its flaws and prefer it over Nolan. But some people just can’t get through this film, whether it’s the depiction of batman/bruce, pace, plot or etc. Yet there are so many people who act like no one should like this film and others who think that people who don’t like this film hate something something. Even though I grew up with Nolan, despite the execution not being perfect, it does everything I’ve wanted from a batman story. Has the early feeling of year one, bits of a gothic detective and focusing on how a batman in real life would most likely be incredibly fragile despite his strength and skills (at least early on).

I loved this movie for showing Batman in a different way, like, he's known as "The World's Greatest Detective", it was cool to see this side of the character in a movie. And it's cool to see Batman as a symbol of hope for Gotham, in Burtons movies, people are just casually like, yea, there's a dude dressed like a bat out there somewhere probably. In Schumacher's movies, people loved Batman. In Nolan's and Snyder's movies, people absolutely feared the guy. Well, in TDKR, not so much but still. In The Batman, he starts out as a symbol of fear for everyone, but by the end, he's still a symbol of fear for criminals, but a symbol of hope for the people of Gotham to know he'll be there for them. Thats cool to me cuz he is like that in the comics too.

Never been a big Batman fan, but I did enjoy the first two Nolan movies, I’m familiar with the Burton/Schumacher films, and this one. I got to say, this movie had the best, and most human, depiction of the character so far. He genuinely cares about helping others and realized he could be doing more by the end of the movie. Also, he doesn’t use guns, any projectile weaponry or kills anyone, which he did almost every previous iteration on film before this movie. While The Dark Knight is a technically better made film with a stellar cast, this to me has the best depiction of the character. Also helps that Batman has the most screen time in the movie this time around.

Batman in the Burton movies was not a "normal guy in a big house", he's socially awkward, detached from reality, and he sleeps hanging upside down. He doesnt even know how to live in his house. He also has the same vibe as the Joker in that movie, and Joker is demented. In Batman Returns when they cut to the first shot of Bruce Wayne, he's literally sitting in a big dark room just brooding until the Bat signal distracts him.

I agree with this man’s point. But u have to take in the type of movie they were going for.TDK a more action rich Batman movie. The Batman was supposed to be slow methodical with not a lot of action so they can focus on the emotional state of Bruce. In the Batman it’s a growing up moment for Bruce he realized that he had to be more than just a creature in the dark he had to be a symbol for the ppl Of Gotham to inspire hope for them, he also grew up by realizing that because of him being Batman that will bring more attention to the city and more criminals will try to get at him and as a result of that the city will suffer and it shows that he is still learning about what being Batman is. TDK is a battle of ideologies Anarchy and chaos vs Order the focus of the movie wasn’t Bruce’s mind set and digging deep into his character but to show the audience the clashing of Identity’s and to teach valuable lessons about people and how anyone can be brought down to a level of evil or how people are smarter then u realize and many more so u cannot compare the movies in this way u have to compare them for what they are what each person is looking for in that movie

Lot of Nolan fanboys in this comment section attacking the film which is a shame. I loved the DK trilogy but The Batman just made me feel something else. I feel like the whole “Bruce retired as Batman after one year for eight years in-between the second and third movie” thing ruined the Nolanverse a lot for me. I still love it but it killed a lot of the immersion for me. Batman has already been operative for two years in this film and he’s still only just getting going, which I find really exciting. There’s so many things that I love about this movie; the dark, damp atmosphere of the crime dominated Gotham, Batman’s detective skills, his friendship with Gordon, the musical score, the Zodiac/Jigsaw like Riddler, Batman becoming hope for the good people that live in Gotham at the end of the film, the teaser of Riddler and Joker teaming up in the future. We’ve only been given a glimpse of Matt Reeves’ Joker so far but I’m already so excited to see him in the future. He looks like a genuinely creepy and sick bastard. I loved this movie and the foundations that it laid for the world to be expanded (with at least 3 spin-off shows already in development and a sequel already confirmed) and I’m very eager to see more of this Batman and the almost lawless Gotham that he is trying to save. I’m crossing my fingers that they decide to go with the Scarecrow for the next big villain. Matt Reeves managed to make The Riddler scary in this film so his Scarecrow would be absolutely terrifying.

In my personal opinion i prefer Pattinson's Batman because it focuses more on the psychology of Bruce Wayne. He looks and sounds depressed like he never recovered from the childhood trauma and fights with less control on himself. Plus "The Batman" is more accurate to those comics where Batman is portrayed younger and less responsible, when he started his journey to become Gotham's hero.

I feel this Batman take is more real. This Batman is at his beginning stages. He has not planned out his personas, he has not yet developed his cautious and paranoid backup within backup nature. He is what a young vigilante would be. Christopher Nolan Batman, in the Batman begins looks more like an experienced Batman than a new vigilante. Ofcourse it's because of all his training but a little unbelievable. This Bruce Wayne is unprepared but has the same grit and determination that drives him to bitter ends. I am sure if Robin is introduced as a character it would be more interesting to have a Tim Drake like character than Dick Grayson at this point. A young adult stalking the stalker. And figuring out Batman's identity. Causing Bruce to realise he should be more paranoid and develop him to become more i. To the Batman we love.

I think you are spot-on about the difference between how and why. I also think reeves and pattinson are much more sensitive to psychology than nolan ever could. I think nolan wanted to make a bond movie. Reeves is committed to the complicated but ultimately compassionate nature of bruce wayne, something he can develop from here on outwards, but something previous movies have so far very much neglected. I keep thinking that in bruce's mind batman is what enables this so far but i hope he'll use his official title as prince of the city more. Really loved seeing bruce wayne not as a playboy but instead as someone who struggles to connect. Thank you for this.

The two personalities of the superhero must be combined and adjusted to the tone of the story, that is in the dark knight trilogy there was no problem in seeing a serious batman next to a bruce wayne who was swimming in the fountains of a hotel that he later decided to buy since the city we saw there was not so broken nor did the movie have a dark tone so it didn't look bad, which is why in this new version they decided that there would be no alter ego because when you watch the movie it is clear that bruce wayne does not exist, only batman there is no difference between his two facets making this make complete sense in the film because in that story he has only been batman for two years and his only reason for living is to seek revenge and instill fear in criminals by stopping aside his role as a businessman because it is understood that he is a young batman and it is easy for him to get carried away by anger and hatred, leaving other aspects that are also important in the background. Bale at the moment is just a better bruce wayne being that part where he nails it best because as batman he is the complete opposite the latter being the weakest part of that version.

After the over-the-top 90s movies, the Nolan trilogy was required to ground Batman in the real world. However, The Batman is more close to some of the darker tones of the comic book stories - it feels like a more direct adaptation. The Batman worked better for me, as i like dark noir Batman and the conflict that must come with committing to being Batman... not to knock anything from the Nolan series, because just how good was Joker in DK.

I’d have phrased it a little different. See, Vengeance was the thing that had so taken control of Bruce’s life and rendered him a paranoid, emotionally severed shell of a man. His addiction to it, Vengeance being the Alfa and Omega of his motivation. The true message of the movie, and confronting both Catwoman and Riddler who were out for vengeance, was his realization that Vengeance alone will never save this city. Alone it will fail. The Batman was as much a symbol of hope for the Gotham citizens as it was for Bruce Wayne. Let go of Vengeance, become The Batman, the hero Gotham needs.

I like that we have so many options for Batman films, but personally The Batman is my new favourite. I like that it's not camp and silly. (I liked the camp, silly takes on the character when I was a kid though.) I agree with what you said about realism. It takes a certain type of mentality to become a vigilante, and I think Netflix's Daredevil and The Batman are the most honest and realistic in showing that mental toll. I hope in the sequel to The Batman we get Pattinson's version learning how to mask his true self and creating the persona of the playboy billionaire. It would be so bold of a filmmaker to actually show the mental strain that comes with faking interactions with "friends" day in day out, instead of the cheap quippy versions where Bruce is just fine with either persona. Bale's version was pretty great, but he isn't capable of convincing me he's a sleazy billionaire playboy philanthropist. He's just too serious of an actor. Then if we get a 3rd film, I would like to see Pattinson's Batman take in/adopt Dick Grayson. It would be fascinating to see this traumatized prodigy child being raised by Reeve's Batman, and actually show how unethical it is to put a child in danger just because they're talented and "mature for their age". I think they could pull off a really interesting version.

The Batman felt like the Batman. He felt like the comics. Raw, violent, unrelenting, vengeful, and in pain both physically and mentally. How they were able to portray a young Bruce Wayne just starting as a Detective and vigilante it shows in everything he has from his armor to his car. Even down to how he carries himself when not in the cowl. That first fight in the subway says it all as who the Batman really is. He's vengeance. He wants people who commit crimes to feel his pain, especially after what crime took away from him. If the enemy wants chaos, Batman will bring it with fear at every corner. The story is what changes him, though, as he knows he has to be better. Anger is what drives him, but that is also his weakness. He also knows that if he holds on to this anger, he will never evolve or get better. Being a symbol of hope is what the city of Gotham needs, but it's also the saving grace for Bruce Wayne. The Batman can be anything you wanted to be, for Bruce, the symbol becomes his savior.

Another thing, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight rises sometimes crosses the "realism vs fictional border" as we can see when Batman catches the falling Joker. Matt Reeve's The Batman is almost crossing the line but never actually touching it, it still remains at the realism side with a mood of a Dark Vigilante Superhero- these resulting in such a very unique and never seen before concept of Batman

I'm sorry but I think you're missing the point. It's always been said that Batman is Bruce Wayne's true personality and Bruce Wayne is just an act but he has to act like a playboy drunk to throw people off that he could be Batman.. It just sounds like you prefer that he act like Batman even when he was Bruce Wayne for audience sack and not the other characters in the movie. In The dark Knight trilogy they have shown that he falls asleep and is typically tired cuz he's up all night and this is why he uses Lucius Fox to run the business during the day so he can fight crime during the night.

everyone knows that, but humans are much more complicated than what you make this out to be. If you were to go fight crime every night and then continue to live your normal life like nothing is going on, it would be impossible. This life style would leave such a heavy toll on you, that after 2 years of doing this, it would be incredibly hard to distinguish the two life styles. That's what this dude is talking about, the toll it leaves on a person to be a traumatized masked vigilante. It feels more real because someone living like this would be incredibly fucked in normal life, just like Bruce is in this adaptation.

There are some people in the world who probably could be Batman and not be as miserable looking as Robert Pattinson's version of the character. Some people are able to cope with issues and depression better than others and sometimes become better because of those issues.

Nice analysis. Another thing that I noticed between the movies is that in The Batman, Batman is treated as a character, a human, whereas in the Nolan Trilogy, Batman is just an identity. Probably we see less of Batman in the Nolan movies vs The Batman. Also, Batman in the Nolan Trilogy is portrayed or seen as an urban legend, a myth, hence we see him like perfect or infallible despite being in his first year. Probably also the reason why the fight scene editing is like that in Batman Begins vs the sequels and The Batman. There is also like an end goal for Batman in the Nolan movies, like he doesn’t want to do this forever and wants a way out (Harvey Dent).

The Dark Knight trilogy was only great for proving comic book movies could be taken seriously, but they are insanely overrated. There is no other comic book trilogy that's so afraid to actually truthfully adapt it's source material. The Batman takes a realistic approach while diving into the comic material. The look of Gotham, the criminals and their reaction to Batman, how Batman percieves the world around him, the deep seated corruption surrounding Gotham and how the organized crime families and the Riddler as the main villain tie into and mirror each other. There's 2 types of people when it comes to these movies, the casual audience who love the Dark Knight trilogy and never bothered to read a Batman comic, and the people who HAVE and saw The Batman and knew it was an improvement. The Batman gives us the 1 thing no Batman movie had given us yet, an actual character arc for Batman. In all the other movies, Batman never changes or learns anything, all the other characters change around him as a result of his actions. The Batman showed us a Batman in early years still perfecting the art of being what Batman is, a hero, not just a rage driven vigilante. He starts by only attacking criminals and leaving innocents to tend to themselves and the civilians fear him just as much as the criminals do, but by the end, he has people reaching out to him and he's become a symbol of hope and justice to the people of Gotham and he learns there's more to justice than brute force. Not only does the Batman give us that, it gives it to us without a Robin or a Superman to push him in that direction. He learns it on his own. Nolan just couldn't get behind the actual COMIC aspects fo the characters besides the Joker, who is the only truly interesting villain in the trilogy. Two Face is okay, but Ras Al Ghul is forgettable, Talia even more so, Scarecrow never truly gets a great moment and Bane is one of the worst villain adaptations ever put to screen. It's Fant4stic Dr. Doom levels of bad. The ending of the Dark Knight Rises shows Nolan never understood Batman either seeing as how he thinks Bruce would just fake a self sacrifice and retire the cape and cowl. Batman is the man, Bruce Wayne is the disguise. He pathologically CAN NOT STOP being Batman until he is truly dead or physically can not continue to do so. He's not going to throw it away to go spend the rest of his life in Italy with a woman he only met a few days ago. In the Dark Knight Returns, he only retired because things settled in Gotham for 8 years. As soon as it got back out of control he immediately stepped back into action. In Batman Beyond, he grew too old to keep up, and only then did he pass on the mantle to another who he knew could do the job properly. The Dark Knight trilogy was a fine launching point for the comic book movie renaissance, but there have been far superior CBMs to release since then, and the Batman is certainly one of them. Closing argument is rather a petty one, but I'll stand by it. Nolan generally makes pretentious, bland, overcomplicated movies with a few knockouts here and there. Matt Reeves made Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes. Nolan could NEVER deliver a movie of Dawn's caliber, or even War for that matter. Nolan is too busy focusing on having multiple scenes of people just talking and then when the action comes into play it's super clear that he has 0 clue how to film any of it. Reeves' style of filming action makes everything crystal clear, with perfect sound editing that almost makes you physically feel every punch, explosion, shot, or stab. The Batman is superior, I will hear no arguments.

I think Nolan's movies explored the psychology of the character more than enough. There was even a documentary about it in the first bluray release from the late 2000s titled(if I'm remembering correctly) "Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight" which was a wonderful companion piece. Just cause they didn't explore the character being as weird as Pattison's doesn't make it any less truthful imo, in fact it's a closer depiction to the comics. Pattinson's Batman is like Frank Miller's Batman from early Year One except he's supposed to have done it for two years at this point. For me, stuff like him going into the same club the exact same way as both Bruce and Batman was "oh wow what a complex and unique take on the character" at the expense of logic. I don't see it as being truthful in the sense of being true to the essence of the character, cause it isn't close to the comics, or to what the character probably would be like, since it's kinda dumb and people should have figured out he's Batman by now if that's how he goes about his business.

Not here to argue but i just wanted to say a few things about tdk (this is mostly opinion based if you like this movie that great) personally I never really liked this movie that much and always preferred the other 2 to be honest I think the reason why this movie is so loved is because of joker but I feel like the rest of the movie isn’t that good overall I don’t think it’s a very good Batman movie but it is a good joker movie I think if your going to have a Batman movie with joker in it you need to have them have equal parts in it and not prioritize one over the other. Let’s take the Arkham games for example even though joker isn’t the main villain in all the games and is even died in one of them he’s still just as an important role as batman. And another thing those goggles batman gets were he can see though people devices I never liked I always that it was pretty cheesy and goofy but that’s just my opinion. One more thing I’d like to say that isn’t really about the movie and more about it’s joker and how everyone praises it as the best joker and not paying any attention to the actual best joker Mark Hamill, now I’m not saying heath ledger’s performance was bad I think he did an amazing job I just wish people would pay more attention to mark because he is definitely the best joker just like how Kevin is the best Batman.

I still don't think the 1989 film gets all the credit it deserves for doing a serious take on superheroes 16 years before Nolan did. People look at the goofiness of the Prince music videos on MTV and analyze the film itself through that lens, which I think is unfair. A good film is still a good film, no matter how tasteless its publicity campaign is. And while Jack Nicholson's Joker was goofy, I argue that portraying a mass murderer as comedic actually makes him DARKER, not lighter. A "funny" monster will be all the more offensive and repulsive, especially if the hero is dead serious.

I actually rewatched it recently and I was surprised by how much I still enjoyed it. The batwing scene to this day is still such a legendary moment. Also Jack's performance as joker is very underrated in my opinion, the way he gleefully kills adds such a dark layer to his portrayal.

I dont think Nolans films not focusing on Wayne's psych is that big of a deal considering the much broader and complex topics it chooses to cover. Also I d9nt think you give Nolans films enough credit for Bales Wayne. The first and third did decent jobs exploring Wayne as a character. The third especially when Wayne's obsession to crime fighting and saving the city leaves his company bankrupt and how he starts disregarding his life and those close to him like Alfred.

And it's great that it is mentioned in this video as well... Hollywood needs to forget about realism. If I wanted a taste of the real world I wouldn't watch movies, I'd go outside. If we want movies to remain an art form we need to really pay more attention to our imagination. Especially when it comes to superhero stories, they're not about what superheroes would be like in the real world. They're so much more about what the real world would be like with superheroes.... and for the beautiful storytelling that results once somebody realizes this (and I think Reeves did realize it), you don't need realism... you need imagination. Shit, when it comes to comic book adaptation, you don't even need imagination. DC has a century old history of writers and artists with incredible imagination creating *moving* pictures before they were turned into moving pictures. For 30 years everyone did anything BUT pay the respect these artists deserved... in my opinion Batman should never be grounded... he should be able to spread his wings and fly...

Grant Morrison (famous batman author) on Batman's mental health: "I never really subscribed to the idea that Bruce was insane or unhealthy. As I've said before, Bruce Wayne's physical and psychological training regimes (including advanced meditation techniques) would tend to encourage a fairly balanced and healthy personality. Bruce Wayne would have gone mad if he HADN'T dressed as a bat and found a startling way to channel the grief, guilt and helplessness he felt after the death of his parents. Without Batman, Bruce would be truly screwed-up but with Batman he becomes mythic, more than human and genuinely useful to his community. I believe he began to slay his demons the moment he became a demon."

Very interesting quote. I think it comes down to the question of can anyone who results to vigilanteism really be seen as sane? I don't know if there's one single answer to that, but I think that's why there's different interpretations of the character, and also why it changes with the landscape of modern society. Thank you so much for sharing this quote!

It's really two different Batmen. Nolan's Batman is a person whose goal is to be a symbol to save Gotham. This version of Batman can retire and live happily ever after he's got lot of pain but his plan is to save lives. The Reeves version of Batman is a man so thoroughly haunted and broken he needs to be Batman...he has a rage and compulsion to be Batman forever. The version I saw would never retired....he'd rather die first. And that's ok there are many versions of Batman. I'm probably more of a Nolan guy but everybody has their taste.

I love this analysis! I'm glad people are recognizing what a great interpretation this is. As a longtime fan of the character, the last thing I'm interested in is a Batman we're all familiar with. Of course, there's no such thing as watching a movie wrong, but if you watch a Batman movie with an eye to how it checks all the boxes... you're watching movies wrong. I don't need to see another playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne persona. I grew up on elseworlds versions of the character, from Finger and Kane's original Harvey Apollo Two-Face to Miller's Dark Knight, Mignola's Gotham by Gaslight, etc. What makes the character so great is how flexible he is. What makes his best stories so good isn't how they conform to the formula, but how they stretch it.

Exactly! I think that's why Reeves's Batman jumps right into the middle of Batman's career. The origin isn't particularly interesting to audiences. We want to see someone push Batman to his limits. That's why of any of the Nolan films, the Dark Knight is probably the closest comparison. So glad you liked the video!

The Batman is a neo noir detective type of movie. Personally I thought it was a bit boring and way too long, but had some epic scenes in it. TDK on the other hand is more of a fast paced thriller, that had more realism and some heist/gangster elements.

This is my favorite Batman movie and Robert BAT-tinson--typo intended--is the my favorite Batman as well. They really dig into him being a detective and his social awkwardness and how weird it is to dress up as a bat in your spare time. I had to tell someone close to me that Batman is the world's greatest detective in the comics but most of the movies made me forget he was even a detective. Also, every movie copies every other movie and Fincher is my all-time favorite director and the best movie they could have possibly paid homage to is Se7en that's the most batman non batman film I've ever seen.

I loved Bale's Batman, but that damn voice... It sucked. They should have used a voice modifier in-universe and given him a more intimidating voice. He was very tech oriented, it would have made perfect sense Also, a necessity, because BW is very famous, and altering your voice doesn't alter your vocal pattern

Very interesting points. I did enjoy The Batman a lot (especially the music score), the commitment to Batman as a detective and the tribute to Clint Eastwood's Spaghetti Westerns with the slow scenes of Batman walking to his defeated opponent slowly with the boots. Those were just cool shots. As for content, I think it was a little too complicated upon first viewing. I enjoyed it more the second time to appreciate the small details more. I thought Pattinson did a good Batman. He's my 2nd favorite after Bale's Batman. I'm mixed on Pattinson's Bruce Wayne persona. I do appreciate showing the tormented Bruce Wayne struggling with the toll and consequences of fighting crime in Gotham as Batman. I just wish he tried to hide his identity more when he was in public. He doesn't need to go the billionaire playboy route but some distinction would have been nice since Batman is really who Bruce Wayne is and Bruce Wayne is actually his alter ego. I love that irony that was portrayed in Nolan's Batman Begins. Nonetheless, The Batman was a great movie and is showing promise for this new depiction as Batman. The route of Batman as detective is definitely very effective and different vs. the city saving Batman in Nolan's trilogy.
