Product Description
Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high‐profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman, Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin, Carmine Falcone, and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

The Batman takes its lead from 2019's Joker in that it's more grounded in reality than most superhero movies, it's a dark film (in all senses), there are brutal fights and the obligatory car chase (the sound of the Batmobile sounded amazing at my local IMAX!) but this is not a film for young children, not necessarily for the level of violence but more for the motives of the crimes committed - we're not talking freeze ray guns here. It's three hours long so prepare for the long haul, settle down and enjoy - they don't make big budget movies for grown-ups like this very often.
definitely deserves it; this is not a film for kids. It has a distinct horror element to certain scenes and the riddler proves to be an unsettling and disturbing villain (Paul Dano's performance is amazing) who gives distinct Serial Killer vibes along the likes of films such as the zodiac killer or Seven.
I had my doubts about Robert Pattinson as Batman but I completely take them all back. He really does excel in the role and I have to say I love the new suit. Zoe Kravitz is great as catwoman and Jeffry Wright is amazing as Lieutenant James Gordon -you really see the relationship he has with Batman and how they get along, almost like Batman is his partner in the force.
One of the best aspects about this film is that it really does address the Worlds Greatest Detective aspects of Batman's character, its early in his career so he isn't quite there yet but this really is an aspect of him that is missing in other films. Don't get me wrong I love The Dark Knight Trillogy Christopher Nolan created but alot if the time Bruce Wayne comes across as being the thickest person in the room however here you frequently do get the vibe that he is the smartest person in the room and he knows what he is doing. The cinematography is great and the Soundtrack is fantastic. I shan't say much more except to reiterate this really isn't a movie for children, it'd incredibly dark and despite being 3 hours long I need more! I can't wait to see what they so with the Spin off Arkham Asylum tv series aswell as The penguin series and Gotham P.D. show. I just hope they wins up doing more than 3 films as there are so many Batmam Villains I'd love to see this Batman face off against!
The first time I watched this film I actually didn't enjoy it as much, I felt the film was maybe 30 mins too long and the end kind of dragged out a bit, perhaps not enough action towards the end but I loved how faithful it was to the source material so I thought I would give it another chance to redeem itself and I really enjoyed it more thee second time around. I put my gripes and fanboyism aside and saw it for what it really was. Awesome.
Let me just say (for those that haven't read the comics) it really is the most faithful adaptation to date, as a detective film noir and played as more of a thriller with some action thrown in - but even the visuals - I mean Gotham City looks and feels like it unlike any film before. Robert Pattinson is Batman/Bruce Wayne and he grows towards the end into as close to the caped crusader as one could hope. He doesn't quite nail the billionaire playboy philanthropist alter ego of Bruce Wayne in this film but something tells me that is why the movie is called The Batman - because the sequels will give the character a chance to evolve.
Jeffrey Wright plays Jim Gordon and he plays it very well, Zoe Kravitz is excellent and sassy as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano is incredible as The Riddler (especially at the end when you see him unmasked - what a phenomenal scene it is), and also unrecognisable is Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin - who while brief is absolutely mind-blowing with the few minutes screen time he has. I wasn't entirely sure on Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth but on second viewing I did like him a bit more, I guess I had always pictured Alfred as much older - unfortunately he isn't in the film as much as one would hope to get a good feel of his character, I hope they rectify that with the sequel.
A lot of people are screaming about how the cast was race-swapped - I don't know and I don't care, everyone pulled off great performances, some with very little they had and they felt very much like the characters from the comics so I can kind of brush it aside. I mean Harvey Dent was race-swapped in the original Batman (1989) and nobody seemed to mind there.
As for the best Batman I appreciate it is subjective. I have a soft spot for Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns as I grew up with them. But I will say Batman Begins is my favourite of Christopher Nolan's trilogy because it feels much closer to the comics. The major selling point is Gotham City - this is Batman's world, the city has to feel like an extension of him, and it has to draw me in, if the city is generic like in the case of The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises - I just don't feel invested or connected to it.
So if I am going to compare it to anything it would be Batman Begins - I would say it is better - but only just. It is a lot darker, much grittier, akin to the movie Se7en with Brad Pitt & Morgan Freeman, the Batmobile is the easily the best ever Batmobile on screen and feels like an extension of Batman and his rage and the score by Michael Giacchino is epic and worth a listen! And I thought Danny Elfman's and Hans Zimmer's were great in their own way.
The film is incredible and I urge you all to see it on the big screen. If you are not sold on it at first - just go again :) you won't regret it - the Batmobile scene alone will have you glued to the seat.
Pattinson was excellent in "The Lighthouse" and he brings that quality to a new brooding troubled Wayne and when the mask is on - he is at home, in the shadows with intent and purpose. Supporting cast excellent. Please let this be the shape of things to come in the inevitable sequels.
