The Batman Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Batman!
Subscribe to the NEW CHANNEL for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
With Batman being one of the most popular characters of all time, Hollywood kinda has no choice but to churn out new movies featuring him every few years. And so they have… since the 1980s. The latest is THE Batman, starring Robert Pattison as the Caped Crusader, directed by Matt Reeves.
The Batman definitely raises a few questions. Like what inspired them to cast Robert Pattinson and Colin Farell? Are these going to get even DARKER? Why doesn’t anyone aim for Batman’s mouth? How freakin’ long is this movie? Why was it a shock to find out that the criminal guy was a liar and a bad guy? What was that green juice that saved the entire day at the end? What is that suit even made of?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Batman! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Not only was the car chase going after a wrong hunch, he had Penguin at the warehouse, with bags of money, a drug lab, and a dead girl. For no reason mid-fight, Batman runs over to the batmobile and starts revving the engine, waiting for someone else to get in a car and flee. He forced that deadly car chase, because he hadn’t been able to use the batmobile yet in the movie.

[@Fuck_handles]

I thought batmobile stalled or something since you know, comedic timing and the whole thing was apparently made by one person but nope.

[@BIG-JIM-FINN]

To skaught mc: you know I never thought about the car chase scene like that. You are right, all Batman had to do was grab and ghost penguin to interrogate him for information.

[@kingkiller5325]

That was such a wierd part for me. Also the fact that Penguin was now proven to be involved with drugs, corruption and murder.(The dead girl) Penguin also causes a catastrophic High accident that probably killed a lot of people. And Batman just leaves him be just because he isn't the informant. Like this is the guy who beat up a bunch of teenagers in the beginning of a movie for harrasing a guy and then he just left penguin even after all that.

The idea is that Gotham is so corrupt Batman often has to "turn a blind eye", like when he saw drugs and corrupt official in the club.

I felt that was too bad yes. Less fun, less faithful to the comics, and less of an occasion to shine for the lead

[@lookingforlove839]

@@dkey201 I wouldn't say so. If you actually paid attention, batman is basically doing exactly what riddler is doing( except riddler is more violent). They are basically lashing out for what happened to them in their childhood. I seen people say that the riddler is a whiny incel. But when you get down to it, batman is also kind of like that, without being extremely violent. He is also using the element of fear against the criminals. The last scene of the movie where batman uses a flare to guide the people out of flooded gotham is basically him becoming like a symbol of hope instead of being a symbol of fear or vengeance, as depicted before in the movie . As in, he realizes that he needs to be more than batman to help the city. Pattinson s batman is young, been batman only for 2 years and is socially reclusive. If they don't make him more socially active in the sequels, I would agree with everyone in saying that there is no difference between batman and bruce. Here, in this movie, it makes sense for them to have no difference

[@deathgoddragon3698]

Batman has more plot armor in this movie than any other movie he's been in. Completely bulletproof (except when he's not), a super strength plot juice vial on his suit (just in case), takes getting blown up at point blank range and is not severely injured or damaged, and then phenomenally fucks up crashing from the top of a 40 story building at near terminal velocity and only limping and moaning after getting hit with a bridge, a bus, and a car before crashing into the pavement.

[@neebs929]

Inexplicable plot armor is just like Batman's armor! Tight!

[@Ambar42]

I got the feeling it's just more noticeable here since the grittiness makes us think this was a more realistic setting. I bet the Burton Batmans still have a lot more plot armor.

[@garysturgess6757]

I had to wonder why they put in that scene of him smacking into a pole after gliding off the building. If you're going to shoot that scene, surely you want to show Bats with some sort of injury afterwards - but no, smash cut and he's absolutely fine. (I suppose you could argue he's tripping balls on pain killers, but that won't help soft tissue damage like bruises and cuts - the speed of that impact he was lucky not to have been decapitated, so at the very least I'd expect a scratch or something). Similarly with the point blank bomb explosion - I can believe his armour protects him from being blown to bits (it's Batman, after all, if anyone has that tech, he does), but not so much as a scratch on it or his face is a tougher sell. Normally you put that sort of scene in to _justify_ showing clothing damage or at least minor injuries. Did they forget that Batman doesn't have Supes invulnerability? :)

[@kingkiller5325]

@@Ambar42 That's one of my issue with this movie. If you want a gritty and realistic movie you can't have characters be invincible. If you want characters performing super human feat, you can't have a realistic world.

[@rooty]

Yeah, I thought it was a neat visual, and makes sense for the riddler to do that since a. He has a taste for theatrics and b. It's symbolic of him being happy to reveal himself at this point in his plan. But the length of the shot and the music and everything was ridiculous. They shot it like it was a shocking reveal that this is the riddler, or for dramatic irony (e.g., to let the audience know this is the riddler while the characters don't know yet and don't notice the coffee, to create tension). Everybody already knows he's the riddler.

YEAH!! I caught that too immediately! It's the one problem I had with the story. And it's really not even that. It should have been more vague an open ended. Like Alred should not have had ALL of the information. It would have been really good and fitting to just have Wayne be a flawed criminal politician. Bruce wasn't raised by his Father, so him having a different moral compass would have been interesting. Anyways, back to what they actually did in the movie. I have one second thought. Alfred SHOULD have said that HE did go to the police. And the next day he was killed. The police corruption story line was already there. It was so close to going in a more interesting direction.

Meaning he pulled both triggers shooting both rounds making so much more kinetic energy. That's why it caused so much damage but since Batman's armor is so strong taking multi rounds from rifles its probably lvl 4 ballistic rated. Also shotguns have so much energy. I'd rather be shot by a rifle than a shotgun if I was wearing armor rated for rifle rounds if I was as close as batman was.

But apparently a single bullet wound to the abdomen, hastily bandaged by harried medics in a mass casualty situation is nothing to worry about or limp over or even wince slightly when climbing over obstacles in chest-high water that is, I'm guessing, free from any contaminants that might seep into a wound like that; completely sanitary... I did quite enjoy the film as a whole, but every film has its moments of suspension of disbelief, and that was one of them that seemed weird, like she should have at least been holding her side, wince a bit, hang onto someone's shoulder for support, but no. Ah, well.

[@D1str1ct]

@@TSIRKLAND Depends where she was hit and if it was a through and through and she would also be running on adrenaline. She wouldnt be in a fully conscious state. When I was in Afghan I remember a soldier coming into the med centre holding his abdomen, his top was off and he had a gunshot wound. He was completely composed and moving around fine like nothing had happened. The doctors were the ones in full on action mode but the patient was completely calm and showing no signs of pain. The medics could of also been carrying morphine or another form of pain killer.

[@kingkiller5325]

@@Turambaris Yeah. Up to the point Riiddler was captured, I really liked the film. And it was a perfect way to end the film. Batman has a conversation with Riddler, where he realizes that his actions are inspiring people like Riddler to take up extreme vigilante actions, and thus he needs to change his ways. But insteaed we get the 3rd act, where Riddler goes from this semi complex character, wanting to expose the corruption of Gotham and take out the people in power that rule over Gotham, in his own twisted sense of justice to a Mentally ill, "Kill the Rich", domestic terrorist. And Batman ends the film by fighting a bunch of untrained domestic terrorists. The last act of the film was very underwhelming.

That is a common complaint, but Robocop's face is just inch of human skin. They were supposed to film a scene where that is explained & I think you can see that the face is just a piece of skin in one of the films, when he is sitting in his chair. The idea is that person would go insane if they woke up in a robot body, so they left his face so that there is something familiar in their robot body, also it makes Robocop more human, so the public likes him more.
