    I find it interesting that both The Dark Knight and The Batman adapt parts of The Long Halloween, but use different parts of it. TDK uses the Harvey Dent plotline, while The Batman uses the Catwoman/Falcone plotline.

    When watching the movie, I also felt like this was a spiritual reimagining of Darren Aronofsky's Batman: Year One, since it features a more stripped-down, aggressive Batman, who hasn't full grasped his role as Gotham's protector. There are other elements from that script I see too in regards to the [SPOILERS AHEAD] corruption of the GCPD as a plot point, Catwoman as a club worker and less elaborate Batmobile.

    Really excited to see how this movie turns out. Not only from the comics that this movie is potentially inspired by but because of the prior movies Robert Pattinson has been in like The Lighthouse and Good Time. I know his Twilight Saga run has still ruined his perception for a lot of non-cinephiles. But he has really proven himself to be a top tier actor.

    Just watched it last Wednesday with my friends and it's really good. The movie reminds me of Se7en from the detective aspect of it and somewhat Blade Runner 2049 in terms of his hero's journey. I'm excited to see how much Reeves can add to the table. Less action and more emphasis to the characters and Gotham.

  • @hexginnkgo
    @hexginnkgo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I didn't watch every interview but they definitely took inspiration from Hush, Cataclysm and Venom. While the Riddler was true to his character he was seemingly a delicate blend of Hush and Riddler. Someone who felt close to Bruce and attempting to 'aid' him in his own distorted view. The comparison to Cataclysm is bore surface level but it is important to Bruce and Batman as a turning point in their desire to do more. The Venom story taking place early in Batman's career also helps it translate well to a very particular scene late in the movie. Where most people I talked to just assumed he used adrenaline I'd be hard pressed to believe that wasn't Venom. It might get called on again in another movie or just be a fun theory.

    Good video! I liked watching it. But I would think it would be better to do a video about the comics that inspired the movie after being able to watch the movie. It would be more detailed because you can talk about actual parts from the movie and how it relates to the comics rather than guessing which parts. And I think you left out a few comics as well. I know No Man's Land was also used.

    My issue with The Batman is that he loses in the end, and whilst Batman doesn't win all the time it's rarely this bad, It's not like he had to contend with the Joker and his Nukes, or the Mad Hatter with his explosions all whist trying to figure out what the Riddler is, and is up to. One of my favourite things about Batman is that he like Superman is the unaccounted for third option, when all else fails he'll succeed but for me, here he felt more like Spiderman than Batman, with the message being 'he can only do so much, even all his power he is only human.' Batman doesn't fail Gotham he may fail the individual, who believes in him, and then gets disillusioned with him to point of hatred, that would then turn that individual into one of his villains.
    Anyway this movie just bugged me, it wanted me to believe in batman but it made him fail when it mattered most, which is so frustrating, I get that it's about him evolving into being the Batman but it just felt disingenuous.

    • @galactic85

      Except he doesn't fail. He doesn't stop the riddlers attempt to flood the city but he saves the people. And that'z what matters. Most of the movie is about him failing but at the end he has to push himself harder than before and he has to evolve and he succeeds.

      I haven't seen The Batman yet, but while the trailers seem bleak and dark, I'm very much expecting Reeves to drive home the idea of Batman being a symbol of hope. I wouldn't be shocked if this iteration of Batman starts dark and grows progressively more lighter as the series goes on (a bit like The New Frontier).

      @@OwenLikesComics You know what I think our movie Batmans need? And you touched upon it in this video. The movie batman needs to just finally pull the trigger on a full on Robin (The Dark Knight Rises does NOT count). Most of Batman's best aspects are related to the family he's made for himself and the movies have always neglected that save for TWO movies that failed for other reasons.

    Was that the CW crisis on infinite earths you showed? Didn’t they make a tie in comic with even more universes?

      He did, it was one of the covers for CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant comic, but he was mainly talking about the Crisis on Infinite Earths that happened in the 1980s.

    Definitely Year One as well. In the Batman, Bruce narrates a lot over time. In the Year One comics and film, he does the exact same thing, while trying to hide himself as a thug like in the movie.

    Pssh Christopher Nolan's Batman is hardly gritty it's literally around the ball park of the superhero movies of the era only seemed dark back in the day because people still had Forever and Robin on the mind. A more accurate comparison would be a blend of Tim Burton's and Zack Snyder's Batman.

      Zack Snyder's Batman is Frank Miller's Batman with even less subtlety and depth, his head was so far up Miller's right-wing edgelord ass it's like a real world human centipede act

    The director should have played Alfred himself in the movie, because he looks the part, instead of casting a black actor for the role of a white character, that truly was cultural appropriation if anything is.
