When I was watching The Batman in the cinema, at the moment he face plants into that bridge while base jumping, then walks away with hardly a limp, the first thing that popped into my mind was ‘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.
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.
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.
@@jamesblanchard8053 because Screen Rant has a dozen awful videos per day and people constantly bitched about having to get their notifications all the time when all we want is pitch meetings. Ryan disappeared for around a month, it's assumed he was negotiating his contract, ans when he came back the new channel was announced.
@@Matt-hs9gw it's not really new. Check out the channel, they have a link to playlist for all the videos. He's done hundreds of pitch meetings and they're all fantastic.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Ryan George has been making Pitch Meetings for more than 4 years now and yet they're still absolute comedy gold every single time, without fail. This man is a treasure! And congrats for finally having a Pitch Meeting channel!!!
@@tylerwilson5769 Watch Gotham instead. Its a much much better version of a young Bruce Wayne. The Batman was just a poorly written caricature of the original. I loved Batfleck because he was the closest to the comicbook character as we know and love. He was chill as Bruce Wayne and an absolute beast as Batman. That was true dichotomy.
When I was watching The Batman, there's a solid 60 seconds when one of the Riddler cosplayers could have easily shot Batman in the face with the shotgun from nearly point blank range. All I could hear in that moment was Ryan narrating the scene, "And then one of the Riddler goons is going to have a very clear shot of a helpless Batman for a very long time." "So I guess it's gonna be tough for Batman to avoid dying then." "Actually it's gonna be super easy; barely an inconvenience!" "Why?" "Because the guy's not gonna shoot him." "Why not?" "So the movie can happen." "Fair enough."
When I watched the movie I heard Ryan's voice in my head "Why doesn't he just throw the Baterang to cut the electrical wire?" - "Sir, you need to get alllll the way off my back" - "Whoopsie, lemme get off of that thing"
@@wingspantt but somehow he created video recording contact lenses, stealthy grappling hook, those electric shock thingy he use on those bullies but not...a batarang?
I'm so glad he mentioned the part with Batman chasing Penguin down and all the cars exploding when he wasn't even the informant. And although he had a dead body in his trunk and they were transporting guns and money, batman and the police commissioner just left him there 🤣
Penguin gives drugs to Selina in front of Batman and he doesn't do shit. Definitely a missed opportunity in explaining why this Batman let minor crimes happen.
@@Boeing-777-X i mean that’s pretty obvious, no? He was after something way bigger and interfering in this, in comparison, minor offense might have ruined his lead
@@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
The one thing that astounded me about the movie is how we're apparently supposed to believe that Batman keeps his entire outfit, complete with weapons and everything, in that little backpack when he's on his bike. Also, that Batman/Catwoman ride-off scene I was like, "Wait....I thought the city was flooded?"
Worst part about that final scene is how they do the whole "how does he appear out of nowhere?!" deal, and then as they go to leave, his insanely huge bike is literally right outside the door! Like, did he kill the engine 300mtrs up the road and push it the rest of the way?!
Props to Ryan for bringing up the fact that Robert Pattinson has been in great movies since the Twilight series, hopefully other people will look them up!
you know whats also funny. Thomas wayne making an enemy of one of the most powerfull people in the city and saying, "I'm going to the police" but then first going to the movies with his family.
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.
That made no sense...which indicates that this writer IGNORED the actual history of Batman and started his own timeline...like J.J. Abrams with Star Trek in 2009. (Screw the original, let's make Bruce's dad "maybe a little corrupt" with mob ties.)
@@Artjedi44 It could have made sense from Bruce Wayne's point of view. How old was he when his day died 9, 10 years old? How many of us even really know and understand our dad's at that point in our lives? Learning that your mom and dad are very flawed people is rite of passage for every child growing up.
No one seems to notice, this version of Batman doesn't stop anything. I like the movie, his detective side... but he is late for everything ! Doesn't stop the killing or the flooding.... he might be the least efficient batman of all the movies
still bugged me how a point blank explosion to the face does nothing to batman but alfred gets hospitalized after throwing the bomb a few feet away from him
In the scene with the red flare, one of the people Batman helps is the mayor, who has been shot by a sniper moments before, and she’s walking around completely fine
Right?? A shot rings out, her head snapped back and she goes down, Gordon scoops her up... but apparently that's just how she reacts when she's surprised, because she's clearly not shot at the end of the scene!!
There was some activity around her with medics, indicating that she had been shot in the stomach area somewhere? But the way she reacted sure looked like a head shot, and with the sheer number of bullets flying you'd think she and Gordon would have multiple bullet wounds. 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.
@@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.
Fun fact: the director literally picked Pattinson for the role bcs of his performance in Good Time, as it reminds him of the late Kurt Cobain, his great inspiration for the version of Bruce Wayne in this movie
That is super weird. This entire film sounds like it was yet ANOTHER non-sequitur, non-sensical disaster. But... probably 'looked cool', since that seems to be just about the only thing anyone's going for these days. "Looks cool. I fell asleep, but when I woke up, it still looked cool." "Cool." "Yeah. It was cool." "What's it about?" "IDK. But... it was cool. Lots of cool graphics and explosions." "Oh, like Michael Bay?" "WHAT?! NOOO! GAD. I hate that stuff! Get outta here!" "But it had cool explosions and cinematic... uh... coolness?" "Yeahyeahyea." "Cool."
@@Ask35720 Ok, boomer. Calm down. I doubt that this film requires 'brain cells'. It's pretty obvious that very little makes any kind of sense. Good chat, though. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
@@Novastar.SaberCombat it definitely requires braincells. Maybe you just didn’t understand because you don’t have any 🤷♂️. Seems to be the case with most people nowadays
6:05 - I love the delivery of "yep" and this whole exchange. "Yeah, so Batman selflessly cuts the wire and gets electrocuted, and falls from super high up." "Oh, my God, is he OK?" "Yep." "Oh!" "Yeah, he's fine." "So... OK, so good." "Totally OK-- So then he takes a flare..."
Shame the film doesnt establish his suit being protected against electricity, like a shot where he tases a guy with a built in taser in the rain and it doesnt effect batman despite the rain? Shame i gues
How fitting is it that the last Pitch Meeting on Screen Rant was the “first” Batman movie and the first Pitch Meeting on the new channel is the latest Batman movie. (chef kiss) Perfection.
@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 That may be true, but, regardless, he's still breaking away from the Screen Rant 'channel.' That doesn't imply a break away from the Screen Rant organisation. There are nuances that can be discerned with an increase in brain cells.
This, the cinematography and the stunt work are the only praises I have for this movie. The rest is just mindless trash, that we've seen a million times before.
I know! The movie was so good! Finally a standalone superhero story with very little expanded universe connection! Loved the villians motives! Story was good! Soundtrack is brilliant! Cinematography was perfection! Acting was surprisingly very good!
Everybody says that Riddler being caught felt like the ending but to me it didn't feel like that at all. Riddler basically just turned himself in. It's like if Se7en ended when Kevin Spacey's character walked into the police precinct. Also, getting rid of the 4th act would take away Batman realizing he needs to stand for hope which was an extremely important part of his character arc
Same. Riddler even says he wanted to get inside Arkham because he’d be safe from his ultimate ‘flood Gotham’ plan there, with Batman his bff. The sea wall was the first big Renewal project as said in the earliest lines of the movie and so it makes sense Riddler would be pissed at a kind of monument to Thomas Wayne’s aid.
That bomb scene definitely needed to be done differently. Like totally. Also, they should’ve done more with him not being too nonchalant about getting shot: like a little bit more running or evading. Come on. Otherwise, I did really like it
I can't believe he didn't mention "So the guy who has a timed bomb on his neck will have to wait till nightfall for batman to save him." "Why doesn't he save him immediately?" "Because Batman only comes out at night." "Makes sense!"
I was considering subscribing to Screen Rant just for the pitch meetings but so glad you have your own channel for this and great first video 👍🏻. As always plot holes I didn’t think about at all 😂
That moment where you say “we’re not done sir” is exactly the moment where I was convinced the film was ending lol Still glad it went on because that (mild spoilers) Batman-Riddler Asylum convo and ending character development was juicy.
This could actually be the ending that made Batman realise the mistakes of his ways, avoidiing the nonesnsical last part of the movie.I found that part hillariously funny.
@@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.
The movie is about Batman learning that he has to represent hope, not vengeance, so if you cut out the last act of the movie you take away its meaning.
Riddler was way more interesting before they decided to have him murder everyone because he's autistic. As opposed to previously, where he was only murdering some people because he's autistic. Also, did Batman also feel somewhat autistic/aspie to anyone else? I got that impression very strongly, especially whenever Catwoman was flirting with him and he seemed to have no idea what to do. (I am also Aspie, so I consider that a cool bit of representation, not an insult btw)
This was my main complaint they could have made this movie without 4 villains and all the bloat. A lot of it felt like it went no where. Which sucks because I really liked the atmosphere and the crime drama feel of it.
Ryan: "we could get Colin Farrell to play him" Me: "holy crap that was Colin Farrell?" Ryan: "even after people google it they're still like.... Reallly?!?!?!?" Me: Pauses TH-cam to laugh for minutes at how great Ryan George is at this...
Just watched for the first time it last night with the family. I'm like ... that's Colin Farrell? The Colin Farrell? Irish actor? Sex tape? We're talking about the same guy? I would have done it for half the amount of money Colin took, and could be made up look the same.
I had read years ago that Colin Farrell would play the Penguin in the new Batman movie, so when I went to watch it I thought that maybe because production was delayed or something, he couldn't do it anymore and they got another actor. Then I googled it and I though it was a mistake, that they forgot to accredit the new actor. I had to read an interview of the makeup and prosthetics specialist to believe that that was in fact Colin Farrell. Incredible work tbh, I've never seen prosthetics look so natural before
That streetlight plot point/clue has maybe the largest gap in cinematic history between its vagueness as a clue and specificity as a clue. On one hand, it’s a vague enough and popular enough phrase to refer to possibly dozens of different things. On the other hand, it specifically meant bringing one specific person under one specific streetlight in an entire city. Legendary.
She got shot in the gut, by a rifle, kinda close range and also in the shoulder, and then she not only did not get to a hospital right away, she got her wounds drenched in flood water and was shortly after walking!! Confirmed meta-human It's a toss up between her and alfred, who got a C4 explosion in the face and not only had a body afterwards but survived, for most powerful beings in Gotham city.
@@RicardoMoralesMassin the Alfred one I can get behind because he knocked the bomb off the table which in turn put a table between him and the bomb (though Bruce covering his face being 2 inches from a bomb and barely being injured still surprises me) but yea no the new mayor is a Metahuman for sure. Which would be cool to introduce some more down to earth dc characters eventually into a new and reset dcu
@@RicardoMoralesMassin She was so cool, seriously. I know she was probably in shock and she definitely needed serious medical attention (not what they were able to give her on site), but still. What a woman
@@JDKobra I personally loved the movie, it’s not for everyone and some people just want a bunch of action in a comic book movie but I loved what Matt reeves did
I never subscribed to screen rant because it seemed like they were just floating on your success but I've never subscribed to a channel so quickly as when I found out about this new one. It was super easy barely an inconvenience.
Honestly, when he used his grappling gun to swing toward that cube with electric wire, I was like... wait, are they really that bold to kill him here? And for a moment I thought that yes, they will. But then they did not even spend like 5 seconds him being under the water to build up the tension if it is gonna happen. He just dropped in the water, 2 seconds later just pops back up and I was like... oh.. yea, Hollywood, how dumb was I to think he would die.
I wish they held onto it longer to make the audience think he was dead. Like I fully thought "huh. this movie could kill him..." but then it was only like 5 seconds
@@themimsy I mean let us be honest here....would anyone fall for that...like...anyone...at all....because I hightly doubt it. It is the god damn batman we are talking about her...if they had done the typical, painful and overused "OMG! Look! He is really dead! For real! He is so totally dead no way he is ali...ahhh gotya! he is fine!" I think I would have just been more annoyed with it. They didn't keep you in the "suspense" because they knew no one would fall for that overly used gimic. Had they had the balls to actually kill him off now...see...that would have been actually interesting.
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.
@@tobigbemisola Is Dredd's armor bulletproof? I haven't read the comics, but I always though that his body armor is like our body armors, it gives some protection, but he can be killed by a shot to the chest.
I pointed out the exploding vehicles during the Batman v Penguin chase and my friends blew me off. I'm glad it's becoming a meme. It was utterly ridiculous and deserves ridicule.
“So Batman climbs onto the electrified wire and cuts it with his batarang, selflessly risking his life” “Why didn’t he just throw the batarang isn’t that the whole point of them?” “Oh I guess he could’ve done that, whoops” “Whoopsie”
Funny how no one seems to ever mention the lack of batarangs in the movie. Just the giant emblem being a detachable knife, as a….surprise? In the last few minutes of the film?
Another great video, but I’m surprised he didn’t comment on Alfred helping Bruce decode messages from a known serial killer and then for some reason taking zero precautions when a new note is delivered to Wayne Tower.
“Ow, ow, ow! Oh stop!” “But there’s still a bunch of cosplayers around” I don’t know why this line took me out! I had to pause the video and laugh for almost a full minute! 😂
I'm kind suprised he didn't say something like "so the whole plan depended on Batman brining out Falcone at that exact moment? What if Batman took him out another door? What if Riddler happened to be sleeping or using the bathroom? Oh I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that."
Nah bro, riddler gives me the vibes of a dude that's willing to shit or piss himself for his plan to be exactly how he wants. Also, I thought the whole point of the lounge was one way in through a bouncer with a password...
Ok,first of all.It doesn't matter if batman got falcone out the day earlier. BECAUSE there's a wide shot at the first half where we can kinda see a room which has been lighted and has the shadow of riddler(which is exactly the spot where riddler sniped falcone)
Can't believe he didn't mention CatWoman freaking out about her friend being kidnapped and then just being like oh well and pouring herself a glass of milk
Love how bullet proof vests in movies just pretend bullet spalling and splash don't exist. Even if the bad guys don't shoot Batman in the face, the fragments from the projectile breaking up on his armor will turn his face into swiss cheese.
@@cmdtrigun Isn't that what happened at the end when he gets shoot in the chest so he was forced to use adrenaline or whatever that was to save Catwoman?
To play devil's advocate: it looked like his chest plates are angled to deflect rather than straight up stop them. (Also real life vests don’t shatter the bullets, they absorb the impact and prevent it penetrating, although they still leave massive bruises). That being said, the way they are angled would also just go straight to his face or arms...
A very honest review (if i can call it that) of this movie I've seen so far. I feel like Ryan is the only youtuber who can bring flaws in a movie even though that movie is well received. Most youtubers play it safe because they don't want to upset certain fanboys. Well done sir, you always make it supper easy, barely an inconvenience.
You can break down inconsistencies and conveniences with almost every big movie if you want to. If you watch these as reviews then that's a bit silly lmao since he does it with every movie no matter how beloved or hated it is
Yea. It's always good to watch these movies without completely turning off the left hemisphere. The thinking fan knows it's not gonna make perfect sense.
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.
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.
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? :)
@@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.
Can we just talk about how riddler stealth was max out, this man was literally standing In the middle of the mayor's house looking at him while he walks back and forth, but somehow he didn't notice the riddler was there
Nope. Looking from across the street with a rifle scope. Didn't you notice the numbers on the bottom of the screen? Once he WAS in the house, Mitchell was too distracted and upset to notice anything
Probably some super artsy shit we "wouldn't understand" like that was Reeves way of showing what a behind the scenes mastermind The Riddler is. Yet we got no pay off just an anti-climatic ending with multiple Riddlers.
Can I just say I really appreciate little background noises like the phone ringing that just help set the scene of where these guys are having this meeting.
@@BBTM951 Only people who think Batman needs to be dark and brooding all the time because that's all they know about Batman. Batman smiles more often than you think.
"He happens to run into a cop who happens to start talking about how he happens to have an uncle who works in the carpet business"🤣 Idk y I replayed that like 10x.
Though I don't think that's what actually happens. When the cop sees the weapon, he _immediately_ identifies it as a carpet tool. He goes on to talk about his uncle, but Batman walks away to look at something else.
@@MustardGuy161 he's just starting out and not the world greatest detective yet here he clearly making some mistake/judgment here; it also enforce the poor vs rich gap because batman just see the carpet stuff as killing tool not for more than that.
I truly feel like my experience of mainstream movies isn't complete until I've seen a screenwriter pitch it to a gullible producer that kinda looks like him. Congrats on the new channel !
People who make this argument miss the point. The final act is essential to expressing the themes of the story, and showing the catalyst for Batman’s change. Without it, the film would be incredibly underwhelming.
Yeah, my biggest gripe with the movie was how Batman, despite constantly saying he wouldn’t kill, brought all those drivers on the highway in danger by chasing down the Penguin. I mean, he knew where the Penguin resided so why not just let him escape and then bust him at the club later?
Or better yet, why didn't Batman try to prevent Penguin from leaving the warehouse to begin with,? Instead, he ran to his Batmobile, revs the engine, & waits for Penguin to get in his own car, and then chase him. Why?... so the Batmobile chase scene could happen... If this wasn't a Batman movie, I think people would be disecting it a bit more honestly.
-And then the riddler blows up the sea wall •What sea wall? -You don’t know about the famous Gotham sea wall? •Well no, you haven’t mentioned it even once before now. -Everyone knows about the famously fragile Gotham sea wall, the only thing keeping the entire city of Gotham from being underwater
for all this movie gets hyped for being "grounded" I still don't understand what would have been wrong with just having batman... step away and cover his face right before the bomb went off? Like... ??? What would be bad about that for the story? That moment definitely took me out of it when I saw it
Me too. I was expecting Batman to be at least burned all over after that. Nothing. I was also expecting him to dodge or get away from the explosion a little bit, not take it like it was a big punch, by putting his hands in front of his face.
Agreed. The film is great, but a few blemishes here and there. It doesn't take away that much from it. But the issues are: The car chase sequence is TOO long, Alfred resolving the "Sins of the Father" plotline instead of leaving it open ended, Batman not shielding himself from the bomb, and the weird Batman "suicide/electric pool dive" moment. I'm still not sure what that last one was about! He didn't turn of the electric generator. So okay. And if it was just about saving the people in the flood, why not just dive straight into the water? The electrical wire could have just been used as a threat for him to help the people faster. Or he could have just shut it down. I don't know what was going on there.
Good thing it's on a new channel otherwise ppl would confuse screen rant for only having pitch meetings then get mad cuz there's so much relatable content that doesn't feature Ryan George, amazing sir! 👏
when the explosion occurred and batman was alright I just started laughing bc his jaw should have been removed. All the shooting scenes just made me think "Guys, no guys aim for the mouth."
It's awesome to see how pitch meeting has evolved over time, his two characters really became something special if you go in look back at the first parodies they made they are totally different, but now I look forward to these. Keep them up Ryan!
Man I love that Ryan's not afraid to call out a movie's flaws even if it's "well received". Seems like honest trailers often plays it too safe in cases like this, like they care more about not upsetting a fanbase than doing an honest trailer
I get the hype. It is an "epic" film, but there are just so many things that don't make sense. Hopefully the spin offs and sequels have a more consistent pace as well as more logic behind intentions.
Honest Trailers are relatively inconsistent. Their main thing is satire, but often times they straight up compliment the film and recognize good and bad moments and films themselves

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

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.

Ryan disappeared for around a month, it's assumed he was negotiating his contract, ans when he came back the new channel was announced.
@@Matt-hs9gw it's not really new. Check out the channel, they have a link to playlist for all the videos. He's done hundreds of pitch meetings and they're all fantastic.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Ryan George has been making Pitch Meetings for more than 4 years now and yet they're still absolute comedy gold every single time, without fail. This man is a treasure! And congrats for finally having a Pitch Meeting channel!!!
I guess you could say it’s super easy barely an….no I’m not going for the easy joke
400 plus episodes without a drop in quality. This man's a creativity god.
We can. It is allowed.
the magic of ryan george is that, he keep making a joke by using the same sentence over and over but it still funny..
I watch a pitch meeting playlist everyday for background noise. I still find treasures in clips I’ve seen a hundred times
The way he talks over himself and makes it sound natural is legit impressive. Eddie Brock and Venom impressive 👌🏻
"As Batman he's gonna be dark and brooding, and as Bruce Wayne he's gonna be brooding and dark."
Feckin brilliant!
Hehe. Fecking.
You need that dichotomy, yeah...
I actually like the dilogue that followed even more 'yeah you kinda need that dichotomy' lmao
In the movie it's supposed to be year 2 batman. He's flawed at being batman and hasn't developed his Bruce Wayne billionaire playboy disguise yet.
@@tylerwilson5769 Watch Gotham instead. Its a much much better version of a young Bruce Wayne. The Batman was just a poorly written caricature of the original. I loved Batfleck because he was the closest to the comicbook character as we know and love. He was chill as Bruce Wayne and an absolute beast as Batman. That was true dichotomy.
When I was watching The Batman, there's a solid 60 seconds when one of the Riddler cosplayers could have easily shot Batman in the face with the shotgun from nearly point blank range. All I could hear in that moment was Ryan narrating the scene, "And then one of the Riddler goons is going to have a very clear shot of a helpless Batman for a very long time."
"So I guess it's gonna be tough for Batman to avoid dying then."
"Actually it's gonna be super easy; barely an inconvenience!"
"Why?"
"Because the guy's not gonna shoot him."
"Why not?"
"So the movie can happen."
"Fair enough."
Hahah i had the exact same thought. Ryan has simultaneously ruined and improved the movie watching experience lol
Same. Batman is a good movie but it has a lot of very avoidable plotholes
“OH, A VERY CONSIDERATE HENCHMAN!”
@@thetribalist6923 Considerate henchmen are TIGHT

When I watched the movie I heard Ryan's voice in my head "Why doesn't he just throw the Baterang to cut the electrical wire?" - "Sir, you need to get alllll the way off my back" - "Whoopsie, lemme get off of that thing"
😆
Some people are theorizing this will be the impetus for him inventing the batarang
@@wingspantt Yes, that is a good point. In this film you don't actually see him throwing the Batarang so i guess that explains why he wouldn't do it.

I'm so glad he mentioned the part with Batman chasing Penguin down and all the cars exploding when he wasn't even the informant.
And although he had a dead body in his trunk and they were transporting guns and money, batman and the police commissioner just left him there 🤣
Penguin gives drugs to Selina in front of Batman and he doesn't do shit.
Definitely a missed opportunity in explaining why this Batman let minor crimes happen.
Yep that movie was pure trash, cant believe people are calling it a masterpiece.. so many mindless zombies
@@David5201 Trash? Please, don't be a troll.
It's not a super masterpiece, yes, but it's far from being a bad movie. It's a solid 8.
@@Boeing-777-X i mean that’s pretty obvious, no? He was after something way bigger and interfering in this, in comparison, minor offense might have ruined his lead
@@edwinscharfe6917 He has eye cameras. After finding out everything he needed, just could had handle the footage to Gordon 🤷🏻♂️.
wow, Pattinson's range from dark and moody to moody and dark is astounding
I felt that was too bad yes. Less fun, less faithful to the comics, and less of an occasion to shine for the lead
@@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
True lol
There's a movie where he played an idiot. Pretty great acting there. Forgot the title.
@@lookingforlove839 Unfortunately, being logical isn’t the same thing as being compelling.
The one thing that astounded me about the movie is how we're apparently supposed to believe that Batman keeps his entire outfit, complete with weapons and everything, in that little backpack when he's on his bike. Also, that Batman/Catwoman ride-off scene I was like, "Wait....I thought the city was flooded?"
No no no, it's the end of the movie so that doesn't matter now.
@@Mentocthemindtaker True true. lol
Even if the flood wasn’t cleaned up, waters would part for batman, cause he’s batman.
Worst part about that final scene is how they do the whole "how does he appear out of nowhere?!" deal, and then as they go to leave, his insanely huge bike is literally right outside the door! Like, did he kill the engine 300mtrs up the road and push it the rest of the way?!
That scene took place after a few weeks. Didn't you hear Batman's ending monologue?
Props to Ryan for bringing up the fact that Robert Pattinson has been in great movies since the Twilight series, hopefully other people will look them up!
they are trash and so is rob
a lot of them suck
Good Time!
@@paperorchid5883 ew

"A very Italian-American flightless bird!"
Ryan, you are a treasure.
Is that a not-so-subtle reference to the "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" song from the Twilight movies? LOL!
@@mpetrie no
I love that line!
you know whats also funny. Thomas wayne making an enemy of one of the most powerfull people in the city and saying, "I'm going to the police" but then first going to the movies with his family.
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.
The biggest problem with the story was the underwhelming reveal that the snitch was the leader of the mob
That made no sense...which indicates that this writer IGNORED the actual history of Batman and started his own timeline...like J.J. Abrams with Star Trek in 2009. (Screw the original, let's make Bruce's dad "maybe a little corrupt" with mob ties.)
@@Artjedi44 It could have made sense from Bruce Wayne's point of view. How old was he when his day died 9, 10 years old? How many of us even really know and understand our dad's at that point in our lives? Learning that your mom and dad are very flawed people is rite of passage for every child growing up.
@@hamman_samuel actually this may be inspired from real life. See the five families vs Gambino storyline from New York
No one seems to notice, this version of Batman doesn't stop anything. I like the movie, his detective side... but he is late for everything ! Doesn't stop the killing or the flooding.... he might be the least efficient batman of all the movies
It’s following the comics where Batman this happens and Batman has a crossbow on a motorbike through flooded Gotham etc
This is the beginning of Batman's career, it's just his second year in, it's realistic
That’s the point. Batman is only on year 2 of his career. He’s emotionally unstable and bad at his job

i cant undersand...i dont speak jive
My review give me a chance
That “Good Time” line still gives me a good ab workout from the hard laughter.
I mean, it wasn't that funny.
In the scene with the red flare, one of the people Batman helps is the mayor, who has been shot by a sniper moments before, and she’s walking around completely fine
Right?? A shot rings out, her head snapped back and she goes down, Gordon scoops her up... but apparently that's just how she reacts when she's surprised, because she's clearly not shot at the end of the scene!!
There was some activity around her with medics, indicating that she had been shot in the stomach area somewhere? But the way she reacted sure looked like a head shot, and with the sheer number of bullets flying you'd think she and Gordon would have multiple bullet wounds. 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.
@@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.
You know what would have happened if they had a black woman killed by "incels"
More than likely a continuity error. She getting shot might have been added after filming the other scene.
“A very Italian American flightless bird.” Not sure why that made me laugh so hard. Lol!!!! 💛💛💛💛

That is super weird.
This entire film sounds like it was yet ANOTHER non-sequitur, non-sensical disaster. But... probably 'looked cool', since that seems to be just about the only thing anyone's going for these days.

I know! The movie was so good! Finally a standalone superhero story with very little expanded universe connection! Loved the villians motives! Story was good! Soundtrack is brilliant! Cinematography was perfection! Acting was surprisingly very good!
Absolutely perfect Gotham cities are tight!!
Gotham was more cooler & more grittier in Joker than in Batman.
Everybody says that Riddler being caught felt like the ending but to me it didn't feel like that at all. Riddler basically just turned himself in. It's like if Se7en ended when Kevin Spacey's character walked into the police precinct. Also, getting rid of the 4th act would take away Batman realizing he needs to stand for hope which was an extremely important part of his character arc
Agreed! I didn't really get what Ryan was talking about with how Riddler's arrest should have been the end, it so clearly wasn't.
People who say that haven't diversified their watching habits. Not every film needs to follow the same old structure
Same. Riddler even says he wanted to get inside Arkham because he’d be safe from his ultimate ‘flood Gotham’ plan there, with Batman his bff.
The sea wall was the first big Renewal project as said in the earliest lines of the movie and so it makes sense Riddler would be pissed at a kind of monument to Thomas Wayne’s aid.
It's like they stole directly from Se7en lol
While I felt like it was the ending in the cinema, I’m so glad it wasn’t for the reasons you said.
That bomb scene definitely needed to be done differently. Like totally. Also, they should’ve done more with him not being too nonchalant about getting shot: like a little bit more running or evading. Come on.
Otherwise, I did really like it
I can't believe he didn't mention "So the guy who has a timed bomb on his neck will have to wait till nightfall for batman to save him."
"Why doesn't he save him immediately?"
"Because Batman only comes out at night."
"Makes sense!"
I think it was more just that he had to go put his suit on
Maybe because he has to go all the way back to Wayne Manor, equip his costume, then go back there. Still a bit confusing though when I saw it
I thought it was odd that they just let that phone ring and ring and ring and ring some more
@@dillMANbaby The battery life on that was amazing now that you mention it.
And phones don’t just ring and ring so the riddler would have had to keep calling back. Hahaha that makes me laugh just thinking about it

I like how the executive has a picture of just himself in his office
That moment where you say “we’re not done sir” is exactly the moment where I was convinced the film was ending lol Still glad it went on because that (mild spoilers) Batman-Riddler Asylum convo and ending character development was juicy.
This could actually be the ending that made Batman realise the mistakes of his ways, avoidiing the nonesnsical last part of the movie.I found that part hillariously funny.
@@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.
Yea; long, interesting original crime story. Guess the prospect of a faithful Batman film is a stillborn thing of the past.
I thought it was a bit heavy handed but I'm not mad about it
The movie is about Batman learning that he has to represent hope, not vengeance, so if you cut out the last act of the movie you take away its meaning.
“We gotta make this movies darker and darker and darker “ is so true yet funny
I love how we all know when "super easy barely an inconvenience" is coming...It's actually super easy barely an inconvenience.
"It's gonna feel like we should be, but we're not." --The way I felt about the pacing, and the multiple "endings." 😁😂😂😂😂
Riddler was way more interesting before they decided to have him murder everyone because he's autistic. As opposed to previously, where he was only murdering some people because he's autistic. Also, did Batman also feel somewhat autistic/aspie to anyone else? I got that impression very strongly, especially whenever Catwoman was flirting with him and he seemed to have no idea what to do. (I am also Aspie, so I consider that a cool bit of representation, not an insult btw)
movie was shit!
There was a fourth act in this movie
This was my main complaint they could have made this movie without 4 villains and all the bloat. A lot of it felt like it went no where. Which sucks because I really liked the atmosphere and the crime drama feel of it.
Yeah, we saw this movie and Easter, and it was like taking forever. I was wondering when it was going to end. I liked the movie through.

100% agree. I was totally mind fucked when I realized it was him.
Just watched for the first time it last night with the family. I'm like ... that's Colin Farrell? The Colin Farrell? Irish actor? Sex tape? We're talking about the same guy?
I would have done it for half the amount of money Colin took, and could be made up look the same.
I just don't understand why they spent money on makeup to make Colin Farrell look like Elias Koteas.
🤔🤨
I thought it was Joe Pessi (the burgler guy from home alone)
I had read years ago that Colin Farrell would play the Penguin in the new Batman movie, so when I went to watch it I thought that maybe because production was delayed or something, he couldn't do it anymore and they got another actor. Then I googled it and I though it was a mistake, that they forgot to accredit the new actor. I had to read an interview of the makeup and prosthetics specialist to believe that that was in fact Colin Farrell. Incredible work tbh, I've never seen prosthetics look so natural before
That streetlight plot point/clue has maybe the largest gap in cinematic history between its vagueness as a clue and specificity as a clue. On one hand, it’s a vague enough and popular enough phrase to refer to possibly dozens of different things. On the other hand, it specifically meant bringing one specific person under one specific streetlight in an entire city. Legendary.
it's dumb that no one already checked that building since the first photograph was clearly taken from there
"Getting shot in the gut is super-easy, really totally not an inconvenience"

But then they did not even spend like 5 seconds him being under the water to build up the tension if it is gonna happen. He just dropped in the water, 2 seconds later just pops back up and I was like... oh.. yea, Hollywood, how dumb was I to think he would die.

That thing about his exposed lower face always bugged me about RoboCop too.
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.
In the slow mo you can see he covered his mouth with both hands/forearms
Seen Dredd? Same thing.
@@tobigbemisola Is Dredd's armor bulletproof? I haven't read the comics, but I always though that his body armor is like our body armors, it gives some protection, but he can be killed by a shot to the chest.

“Why didn’t he just throw the batarang isn’t that the whole point of them?”
“Oh I guess he could’ve done that, whoops”
“Whoopsie”
He could have also cut it beneath him
That's a tactical knife lol, boomerangs do work like that.
Funny how no one seems to ever mention the lack of batarangs in the movie. Just the giant emblem being a detachable knife, as a….surprise? In the last few minutes of the film?
@@jonasadams3173 It was used throughout the film. Not just that scene.
@@davidberger8420 Lol.
Another great video, but I’m surprised he didn’t comment on Alfred helping Bruce decode messages from a known serial killer and then for some reason taking zero precautions when a new note is delivered to Wayne Tower.
“Ow, ow, ow! Oh stop!”
“But there’s still a bunch of cosplayers around”
I don’t know why this line took me out! I had to pause the video and laugh for almost a full minute! 😂
loved it too 😂
LoL this batman DEFINITELY has super powers. Dude was invincible 😆
Ryan’s definitely one the most underrated comedians on the planet so grateful that he does these they are ingenious
You know, Batman leading all those people through the water would've been a pretty sweet image to end on. But at the same time, I was hoping for more
Sequel!!👍👍
They should have ended the movie there and then continue with a sequel. Matt Reeves can definitely improve.
That part to me made it feel like it was “Vengeance” finally becoming The Batman.
Really awesome scene but I don’t think it’s an ending. The part where he puts the girl in the airlift bed is though.
+@@James-kv3ll That could've worked, too
I'm kind suprised he didn't say something like "so the whole plan depended on Batman brining out Falcone at that exact moment? What if Batman took him out another door? What if Riddler happened to be sleeping or using the bathroom? Oh I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that."
Omg yes! 🤣
Alright I’ll get off that thing!
Nah bro, riddler gives me the vibes of a dude that's willing to shit or piss himself for his plan to be exactly how he wants.
Also, I thought the whole point of the lounge was one way in through a bouncer with a password...
they actually involve tons of cops and journalist though, pretty sure Riddler's gonna hear them coming
Ok,first of all.It doesn't matter if batman got falcone out the day earlier. BECAUSE there's a wide shot at the first half where we can kinda see a room which has been lighted and has the shadow of riddler(which is exactly the spot where riddler sniped falcone)
Can't believe he didn't mention CatWoman freaking out about her friend being kidnapped and then just being like oh well and pouring herself a glass of milk
Y’all cry about everything as if that can’t just happen
@@LeSteeler because it makes no fucking sense for it to happen🤣
What was she supposed to do? She had no idea where they took her, there was nothing to be done in the moment.
When you need some milk, you need some milk
@@MtpMuzik She had no clue where they went with her, tf was she supposed to do?
Love how bullet proof vests in movies just pretend bullet spalling and splash don't exist. Even if the bad guys don't shoot Batman in the face, the fragments from the projectile breaking up on his armor will turn his face into swiss cheese.
Not to mention each bullet hit probably feels like a sledgehammer. Multiply that times 50 and you've broken all your ribs and collarbone.
@@cmdtrigun Isn't that what happened at the end when he gets shoot in the chest so he was forced to use adrenaline or whatever that was to save Catwoman?
@@ExtremeMadnessX
True, but his point is that should’ve been happening every time, not just that one time at the end
To play devil's advocate: it looked like his chest plates are angled to deflect rather than straight up stop them. (Also real life vests don’t shatter the bullets, they absorb the impact and prevent it penetrating, although they still leave massive bruises). That being said, the way they are angled would also just go straight to his face or arms...
@@vietnamd0820 Before he wasn't shot at such close proximity.
A very honest review (if i can call it that) of this movie I've seen so far. I feel like Ryan is the only youtuber who can bring flaws in a movie even though that movie is well received. Most youtubers play it safe because they don't want to upset certain fanboys. Well done sir, you always make it supper easy, barely an inconvenience.
You can break down inconsistencies and conveniences with almost every big movie if you want to. If you watch these as reviews then that's a bit silly lmao since he does it with every movie no matter how beloved or hated it is
Yea. It's always good to watch these movies without completely turning off the left hemisphere. The thinking fan knows it's not gonna make perfect sense.
It was still a great movie.
Two of the biggest TH-cam critics had big problems with this film
@@Zug8415 who are the 2 you are talking about?
The completely dark screen joke... I haven't laughed like this... This year.
Dark movies are Tight!!
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.
Inexplicable plot armor is just like Batman's armor! Tight!
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.
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? :)
@@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.
Guess the scriptwriter failed high school physics and biology - but most of them probably do.
1:17 Because ... HE IS BATMAN
Can we just talk about how riddler stealth was max out, this man was literally standing In the middle of the mayor's house looking at him while he walks back and forth, but somehow he didn't notice the riddler was there
Nope. Looking from across the street with a rifle scope. Didn't you notice the numbers on the bottom of the screen? Once he WAS in the house, Mitchell was too distracted and upset to notice anything
Probably some super artsy shit we "wouldn't understand" like that was Reeves way of showing what a behind the scenes mastermind The Riddler is. Yet we got no pay off just an anti-climatic ending with multiple Riddlers.
@@MasterDisaster313 wasn't that the Joker with him in Arkham Asylum?
@@karert1 I'm referring to the final showdown with the Riddler
@@ohio I thought the same thing. I was so confused. There’s no way he didn’t see him
Can I just say I really appreciate little background noises like the phone ringing that just help set the scene of where these guys are having this meeting.
Same, thought an imaginary phone rang in my house lol
When I found this channel I knew I did not need screen rant any more
"Does Batman show even the barest hint of a smile in the three-hour runtime?"
"He does not, sir"
After Selina saves him, he actually smiles
I thought people didn't like it when Batman smiles like in Whedon's Justice League or the Schumacher movies.
“I’m rich”
@@BBTM951 Only people who think Batman needs to be dark and brooding all the time because that's all they know about Batman. Batman smiles more often than you think.
"He happens to run into a cop who happens to start talking about how he happens to have an uncle who works in the carpet business"🤣 Idk y I replayed that like 10x.
Though I don't think that's what actually happens. When the cop sees the weapon, he _immediately_ identifies it as a carpet tool. He goes on to talk about his uncle, but Batman walks away to look at something else.
wow wow wow...
@@ThreadBomb it's still pretty convenient
@@ThreadBomb Just kinda confused how Batman, the world's greatest detective, didn't immediately identify it as a carpet tool himself.
@@MustardGuy161 he's just starting out and not the world greatest detective yet here he clearly making some mistake/judgment here; it also enforce the poor vs rich gap because batman just see the carpet stuff as killing tool not for more than that.
I cackled at the Colin Farrell bit, because that is EXACTLY what I thought when I saw his name in the credits and googled it 🤣🤣🤣
I'm so glad for the respect Robert Pattinson is getting as an actor!
“Actor”
I truly feel like my experience of mainstream movies isn't complete until I've seen a screenwriter pitch it to a gullible producer that kinda looks like him. Congrats on the new channel !
What are you talking about, they look nothing like each other. One of them doesn't need glasses, for starters.
Actually it's all just our producer's hallucination 😜😂
"It feels like we should be done but we're gonna keep going!" 🤣
definitely not meta .....
The batman with Gotham darker.
YES!
@@joanbennettnyc NYC huh? th-cam.com/video/Gz28UJ7wVLI/w-d-xo.html
People who make this argument miss the point. The final act is essential to expressing the themes of the story, and showing the catalyst for Batman’s change. Without it, the film would be incredibly underwhelming.
Yeah, my biggest gripe with the movie was how Batman, despite constantly saying he wouldn’t kill, brought all those drivers on the highway in danger by chasing down the Penguin. I mean, he knew where the Penguin resided so why not just let him escape and then bust him at the club later?
So the movie can happen.
Or better yet, why didn't Batman try to prevent Penguin from leaving the warehouse to begin with,? Instead, he ran to his Batmobile, revs the engine, & waits for Penguin to get in his own car, and then chase him. Why?... so the Batmobile chase scene could happen... If this wasn't a Batman movie, I think people would be disecting it a bit more honestly.
"So we can have a cool chase scene!"
"But-"
"Sir! I need you to get all the way off my back!"
@@sasesq4000 Yeah people seems to be ignoring the flaws in this movie. Maybe when the hype dies people will finally address it. Still a good movie tho

-And then the riddler blows up the sea wall
•What sea wall?
-You don’t know about the famous Gotham sea wall?
•Well no, you haven’t mentioned it even once before now.
-Everyone knows about the famously fragile Gotham sea wall, the only thing keeping the entire city of Gotham from being underwater
2:08 Exactly what I said to my brother after we saw the movie. I was shocked when I googled the cast and saw who Collin Farrell played The Penguin
for all this movie gets hyped for being "grounded" I still don't understand what would have been wrong with just having batman... step away and cover his face right before the bomb went off? Like...
??? What would be bad about that for the story? That moment definitely took me out of it when I saw it
Me too. I was expecting Batman to be at least burned all over after that. Nothing.
I was also expecting him to dodge or get away from the explosion a little bit, not take it like it was a big punch, by putting his hands in front of his face.
He did though, he flies away with his hands on his face.
Agreed. The film is great, but a few blemishes here and there. It doesn't take away that much from it. But the issues are: The car chase sequence is TOO long, Alfred resolving the "Sins of the Father" plotline instead of leaving it open ended, Batman not shielding himself from the bomb, and the weird Batman "suicide/electric pool dive" moment. I'm still not sure what that last one was about! He didn't turn of the electric generator. So okay. And if it was just about saving the people in the flood, why not just dive straight into the water? The electrical wire could have just been used as a threat for him to help the people faster. Or he could have just shut it down. I don't know what was going on there.
Good thing it's on a new channel otherwise ppl would confuse screen rant for only having pitch meetings then get mad cuz there's so much relatable content that doesn't feature Ryan George, amazing sir! 👏
when the explosion occurred and batman was alright I just started laughing bc his jaw should have been removed. All the shooting scenes just made me think "Guys, no guys aim for the mouth."
Gotta share this with my friend who I saw The Batman with last weekend; everything in this video is hilariously true! Subscribed!
2:46: Well one officer tried to do that but Batman immediately got up and prevented him from doing that.
0:20 GENIUS!
I thought it would be super hard to like this channel but it turns out it's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
It's awesome to see how pitch meeting has evolved over time, his two characters really became something special if you go in look back at the first parodies they made they are totally different, but now I look forward to these. Keep them up Ryan!
Man I love that Ryan's not afraid to call out a movie's flaws even if it's "well received". Seems like honest trailers often plays it too safe in cases like this, like they care more about not upsetting a fanbase than doing an honest trailer
I get the hype. It is an "epic" film, but there are just so many things that don't make sense. Hopefully the spin offs and sequels have a more consistent pace as well as more logic behind intentions.
Honest Trailers are relatively inconsistent. Their main thing is satire, but often times they straight up compliment the film and recognize good and bad moments and films themselves
These movies are immune to their own flaws.
@@chrisofferoff1913 Well, that sort of storytelling hasn't been needed to generate insane profits yet, so . . .
This movie is actually kinda bad ....

oh yaaaa lol what was that episode they had a whole war totally in darkness
