Riddler doesn't know Batman is Bruce; he thought he could kill Wayne with the bomb at the tower and still have the fireproof envelope and the one in the bat cage in the flat delivered to Batman, he describes Bruce as "the only one we didn't get" and also compliments Batman's outfit and expresses how he was inspired by him while also expressing resentment for Wayne during the interrogation.
In my opinion Riddler does know Bruce is Batman, going by the way he says his name and the many messages and pictures in his apartment. But also because why would he reveal the answer to the biggest riddle in Gotham? It would render that knowledge obsolete, this would be taken straight from a comic if this was the case.
@@c6083 An interesting point for sure but I don't think he'd be so nice to Batman in Arkham if he really knew that. He hates Bruce, and his dad, and Renewal, and he truly believed Batman was helping him expose Gotham's corruption/revealing Renewal as a lie before Bruce explained otherwise during the interrogation. It would completely shatter Riddler's worldview if he found out that Batman was Bruce Wayne
@@c6083 No, Riddler doesn't know. When Riddler says "He's the only one we didn't get", it's clear that Riddler still thinks that Bruce and Batman are two separate people. Riddler thinks he's found an ally against Gotham's corrupt elite, and leaves Batman riddles to help him go after his next murder targets. So he says "He's (Bruce) the only one we (Riddler and Batman) didn't get" because the bomb he sent to Wayne Tower failed to kill Bruce. He wouldn't have said that if he knew Bruce and Batman were the same person.
I love the twist that the Riddler didn’t actually know Batman was Bruce Wayne. He left the note for Batman at the Wayne bombing because he knew Batman was working with the cops at the crime scenes and would be there after Bruce Wayne was blown up. A great twist when we realize Riddler doesn’t know Batman and Bruce are the same person.
It’s great writing. That’s why i hate when the media gaslights criticism to Rings of Power and She-Hulk. Audiences want to love these adaptions but lately it’s been shit.
And also the fact that, you're completely at his mercy. If he doesn't run even if you're running, it's over, you know he's gonna catch you, no need to rush, there is no escape.
The fact that battinson can easily silence his footsteps and be silent, but chooses to be heard to put fear in his prey in the first scene with the painted clown gang.
Wum? He wasnt stealthy during combat once in thus film. No bullets can pierce his armor so he walks through front doors. Also anyone can silence their footsteps, just walk slower and put your heel first lightly

@@JohnRodriguezVodnikHOTS Cool and all but why didnt he use it when confeonting his enemies? Whats the point of saying essentially saying darkness is how you prey on your victims then knock on front doors? Also sneaking by those dumb@$$ twins doesnt count lmao.
@@ligma3205 Sneaking by the twins, which ends up being his most successful trip to the lounge, is literally showing him learning to embrace tools other than a hammer. "Why he no use stealth? Time when he learn to use stealth no count!" lol, okay.
I love that Batman records everything he sees with his suit. Usually the characters always remember things, like they have photographic memory, but this explains that away and adds to the detective side of Batman.
The director of photography on this is Greig Fraser. He also worked on Let Me In, Killing Them Softly, Rogue One, Dune, and a few episodes of The Mandalorian. One of my favorite cinematographers working today.
I find this to be the first "true" Batman film in that it really concentrates on Batman while still having a strong villain that doesn't overshadow him. Cinematography and score were fantastic and gave the film a feeling of dread that fit the story. My issue with the Nolan films is that Gotham was an afterthought (aside from parts of Begins) when it should be a "character". As far as all the Dark Knight comparisons, that film is a great Joker movie with Batman in it. This film is a great Batman film that concentrates on Batman and shows his process/method and motivation in a way that no other films have (can't speak for any animated movies since I have not seen any).
I like reeves Batman and the villains, however his Bruce Wayne personality to the public is his downfall. He’s my second favourite Batman as he doesn’t kill, (I don’t think?). But yeah… KEATON ALL THE WAY
So this film shows his process/ method and motivation better than Batman Begins? You either haven't seen begins, or haven't watched it in a very long time.
@@moonknight4053 Bruce's personality to the public is actually perfectly faithful to the character considering at this stage in his career he legitimately didnt have a public persona. He's still consumed by trauma and obsessed with the Gotham project and the freedom he feels when he is Batman. Later on he learns that Gotham needs both bruce and batman and thus develops an additional alter ego the billionaire playboy.
@@jaburkie Yes, I have seen it, and I think it's easily the best of the Nolan Trilogy. But, I stand by my statement. Bales Batman is not my favorite, although he is the best Bruce Wayne. It's my opinion, you obviously have a different one, and that's ok.
I kind of like the Dark Knight more because of Joker but with Nolan Bat films the villains are usually the ones outshining Batman. While in this movie Batman is actually given the focus, the camera angles are shot in his pov, we feel what he's going through and what he's experiencing. We didn't need to see a flashback of his parents because Robert delivers that grief through his performance, like how he arrived at the first crime scene staring at the boy. And the funeral scene as Bruce, he looks so disconnected from the outside world. Plus I love how there's so many emphasis on his eyes. Robert is my Batman. " he wants to save Gotham, and he does so so by making criminals shit their pants. What it's not working , he said so constantly throughout the movie. In the story Alfred treats Bruce warmly but they still have a distance. Alfred genuinely feels like the humanity Bruce once had has been in his quest to stop crime. Bruce is just awkward he's weird doesn't know how to act like a person. For example, Christian Bale Batman was a version where he needed to isolate himself for a time to understand what he needs to do, what he needs to become, but he never felt alien. Pattinson Brews Pattinson as Batman feels alien. The dudes desperate for some kind of relationship that's beyond beating people's faces in but he doesn't allow myself to open up" - Brown table
Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park with this film, it's so good on so many levels from the acting, to the musical score and the tone was all brilliant!
If you watch "the sacred killing of a deer" you'll see why Barry was chosen to play joker. I'm really excited to see what he's going to do with the role and what part he'll have to play in the sequels
Yes but I hope they allow Barry to fully divest into the character and have fun. Instead of playing someone who's crazy, he plays the character with his own style that truly embodies who the joker is. He isn't just chaos but the man's extremely intelligent and finds joy in making Batman bend his no kill rule. Though I loved that deleted scene, because it gave me chills and feel creepy, I was hearing Heath Ledger's Joker and not Barry's. He doesn't have to look a mess to be creepy, I don't want a over top thing.
Something I respect the screenwriters for is that they're fully aware of the expectation for a shirtless scene in a superhero movie and don't even try to come up with an excuse for it, it's just "Yep, he's figuring this out with his shirt off, you're welcome"
I loved the detail that his glider suit is just an army flight suit and parachute and he clearly hasn't used it much since it's only been 2 years since he became batman
I love how emo he is i mean he lost his parents and Robert himself said that it's like Bruce never really got over his parents' death, it's like he's been grieving his whole life, that's why he's such a recluse that lives with a weight on his shoulders, feeling that he has a duty to protect the city and hopes to see it changing for the better, the things he does for the city - the batman - thats all he has left and i just love how human batman is in this movie. Also the detective vibe really made me feel antsy in a good way i loved it sooo much. And the way the scenes were shot especially that car chase scene like the sounds of the batmobile got me goosebumps istg and the catwoman's POV ughhh soo good!! Also I LOVE how we literally watch him being portrayed as "the vengeance" but then becoming a true hero in the end, not only getting the bad guys, but also actually saving people.
It seemed unrealistic how in Nolan’s trilogy how sure of himself he was after coming back to Gotham because even after returning he just slipped right into the playboy persona and didn’t really develop it it makes sense that despite how sure of batman he is he isn’t sos sure how to use his own name and privilege to his advantage
Agreed! Side note, I like how you mentioned that Batman hoped to see a change in Gotham - I wonder if that’s what inspired the Riddler’s motivation to “sea” a change as well ;) lol
Except Bruce Wayne isn't supposed to be emo its like he's screaming that he's batman when he is supposed to be this eccentric billionaire with a "huge ego" and no free time that's his true mask not batman 24/7 and that's the issue I had with this movie
@@xxraptorxx8180 yesss exactly!! i guess you could say that the playboy persona was just a way to protect himself from feeling all of the bad feelings, but you're right he didn't have time to develop it so it felt kinda too forced and i like much more how this new batman is darker and just sad all the time, i believe that he is going to mature a lot in the next movies so it will make much more sense also watching his growth is going to be really satisfying
@@angryfoxgaming6276 thats a different bruce wayne tho, i love the other batman movies too but in this new one Robert took the chance to interpret Bruce in a different way with a completely different personality i mean i loved it but i get that some people prefer playboy Bruce haha this Bruce is more focused on the pain he feels and thats exactly what made him create batman so it makes sense to me that he is emo
as a comics fan, this is one of the best movie adaptations I've ever seen!! it stayed very true to what I think Batman should be: a symbol of hope for his city!!
The Riddler was targeting Bruce Wayne because of his father's 'sins', he didn't know he was Bruce Wayne > 'He's the only one we didn't get'. The Riddler thought he and the Batman were working together to expose the corruption in Gotham. The bomb that Alfred opened was meant to be opened by Bruce Wayne, and the fireproof package inside was for Batman to find at the crime scene like he found the other riddles.
I just love this movie. I saw it in the theater twice and a few more since being on HBOmax. The score is just amazing. They give Gotham city its own character, the fact that it only rains on the days where a murder is committed is just like the city is crying. Cinematography is amazing, as is the acting. One of my tope 3 "superhero" films along with The Dark Knight and Man of Steel. Can't wait to see where they take this, I just hope that they can keep the quality up
The Joker clip was supposed to be in the middle of the film, but it was decided it would have taken away from the story. You're right in that this will be a trilogy of films. And there will be 3 HBOMax shows. Colin Farrell has already signed a contract for a Penguin show, and the other two will be set of Catwoman & Arkham Asylum. The score was done by award winning film composer Michael Giacchino. And Zoe Kravits is Jason Mamoa's step-daughter. So you can connect The Batman to GoT.
I love-love, love, LOVE-this relatively low-tech Batman. It feels like a Batman that's still building up his arsenal over time while honing his skills on the detective side of things.
Also, the last act of this movie was straight up unsettling. One man took some outcasts and infected them with terrible purpose, and as a result, they planned to lie in wait and open fire on people who came seeking safety. Just.... viscerally uncomfortable because we know how possible something like that is.
I agree. You can also see that with the level of sophistication with his technology: he’s got the eye camera sure, and the suit is pretty tactical but his bat mobile is just more of a souped up mustang than Christian Bales tumbler. His suit can fold up and make a gliding wing suit instead of Bale’s memory cloth cape. He also spends a lot of time tracking people down undercover using a motorbike. It’s a totally different type of Batman and it’s honestly great
To me, this is a masterpiece of a film. Storytelling, visuals and also the character development for Batman. Throughout the whole film Batman is just using fear to fight off villians and be "Vengeance". Fast forward to when the mayoral campaign happens and the guy who almost got beat up to death looks at Batman and says "I'm vengeance", Bruce realizes that he had it all wrong from the start. He needs to be better than just "Vengeance". Matt Reeves also likes to use biblical references in his films. When Batman cuts off the wire, he falls down in the water (signifying baptism) and he comes out leading a pack of civillians to safety, only then he realizes that he should be a hero to the people, in fact the scene where the woman is being taken away by the medical unit, she clings on to Batman and doesn't let go until he tells her it's okay. So so many small details in this film. That to me is what makes it a masterpiece.
@@theofreres1882 in an overall movie point of view, I agree TDK is better, but as a Batman film in my opinion this is the best one. Problem is, TDK is the 2nd in Nolan's trilogy and this Batman is the 1st one and it's being compared to TDK. I can't see the sequel to this being better than it.
I've seen this movie in cinemas so many times and what can I say. In my opinion this is the best *Batman* movie. i love The Dark Knight but this movie is a real Batman Movie and made me walk out of the cinemas feeling like i have never felt in any movie before it speaks to me a lot more than the the Dark knight or other Batman movies and i just love this version on batman that he is a younger Batman Is so awesome and this development of Vengeance towards Hope so brilliantly done 10/10 the soundtracks 10/10 the acting just perfect I love The Batman Why everyone that react on this film not now that this Batman is a more younger version he is just 2 years Batman so far that's why they didn't now him he is at the beginning
Best Batman so far! Detective Comics Batman! No ninja Batman. No IronMan Batman. No rollerblading hockey mooks. Just the world’s greatest detective who scares people before punching them into submission.
this is my favorite batman movie, and also probably my favorite movie of all time. Saw it in theatres 5 times and can honestly say i wouldve seen it many more times if i hadn't already spent too much money on it. Just such a good movie
I am not sure why everyone is comparing this to TDK. Are we forgetting this is the first film while TDK was already the second one. We should compare sequels. But I think its a testament to how great this movie is if they already using TDK as the benchmark.
Pretty much because they are both at the top of the list when talking about live action Batman. You can't really compare Batman Begins with this because The Batman will win easily.
For me it's a tie, just like you said no need to compare. I can see how the director drew inspiration from the dark Knight as well as this is a much different type of story to what the other movies did. Fantastic movie I saw it in the theater and it was just absolute showcase of what many comic book readers wanted
Same, but I prefer Robert's Batmn because it felt more personal and in character. I kind of like the Dark Knight more because of Joker but with Nolan Bat films the villains are usually the ones outshining Batman. While in this movie Batman is actually given the focus, the camera angles are shot in his pov, we feel what he's going through and what he's experiencing. We didn't need to see a flashback of his parents because Robert delivers that grief through his performance, like how he arrived at the first crime scene staring at the boy. And the funeral scene as Bruce, he looks so disconnected from the outside world. Plus I love how there's so many emphasis on his eyes.
The answer is YES‼️ Most impressive is the practical effects and very limited CGI. I wasn’t interested in yet another Batman movie or Pattinson… but by gosh I was pleasantly wrong. Fast became one of my favourite superhero movies. Dark, gritty, haunting, plot intriguing, villain terrifying, music broody and visually stunning! 🖤 P.S. So happy no mention of HP in your reaction 😊
I had to go back and rewatch the scenes with Penguin, cause I somehow didn't know it was Colin until after the movie was over, and my god... he's unrecognizable, but so great in the role. Hope we get to see more of him!
If you watch closely you notice that one of the staples on the side of the documents is missing when joker hands them back. Also would really recommend watching prisoners
He definitely didn’t know Bruce and Batman were the same person. It’s in how he references Bruce as “him”, and Batman as “you” when they’re talking in the prison. Batman wasn’t sure either until Riddler says “he’s the only one we didn’t get.” He also looks at the camera to see if it was recording so as to not react to him saying his name until he was sure, otherwise he would have reacted like “bro who told you?” The whole thing with the trailers and the scene here was to make us think Riddler knew his identity but he ultimately shows his cards and we learn through that interrogation that he didn’t know.
"There isn't an equivalent of Gotham in MARVEL" I mean, Hell's Kitchen is a really nasty and corrupt district. The Daredevil show actually does a great job portraying it as a Gotham of sorts
I think that when people compare this to dark knight their comparing apples to oranges and dark knight was a sequel this is the first of hopefully a series of films as well
It is pretty fantastic. Something we don't get from movies nowadays. It's a thriller through and through and I think it's great. The Dark Knight is a more 'realistic' human hero. While this one felt much more like Gothem imo. I cannot wait for the next one.
I do believe that the green juice he put in him is a prototype version of Banes Venom, setting him up in a future film. Screw the Joker, I want more Bane, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze and plenty of other awesome villains to choose from. If anyone could make Condiment King scary, it’s Matt Reeves.
I commented asking if you were gonna check this out on your up video and I'm so glad you did. This is my favorite batman movie period. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it too!
I love this film so much man! The goons at the start know of the Batman but have never seen him til he train station, you can hear one of them saying “it’s him”, letting us know the goons know of the Batman, they’ve heard of a fighting masked vigilante! 10/10 film for me honestly, 3 hours went by so quick !
I think you're spot-on with the injection guess. They took the time to show a shot of the vial holding a neon green liquid. Plus I believe that adrenaline needs to be injected into the heart. Batman put the shot in his leg. Pretty sure that it's supposed to be Venom. The substance that Bane uses.
In the cannon prequel book, it is revealed that Bruce loves chemistry and concocts his own formulas all the time. Maybe Bane somehow gets his hands on it and that is where his strength comes from, maybe he becomes addicted to it. Also, adrenaline is clear not green so that just adds to the theory.
The thing I love most about this version, aside from the cinematography and the soundtrack, is just how green Batman is. Like he's clearly still suffering from losing his parents and you feel it, he doesn't give a fuck. And while you say he's "tanking" shots, in that shirtless scene you can see that he's got a lot of lasting, deep scars, even though he's only been at it for 2 years. He's still figuring everything out and he's rough.
Great reaction and depending on where you are in the uk it’s still on at some cinemas and we’ll worth seeing on a big screen. Having seen it 3 times now, I think it probably is my favourite Batman film. I think everything works so well (acting, visuals, story, score etc.) and I have some things that I didn’t like about the dark knight so think that’s now in second for me.
I watch certain REACT channels and your channel is seriously one of my favorites.. I love that your open about your love for Chris Evans & overall isn’t afraid of getting emotional for no reasons. Thank you for being on a TH-cam -Corpse
This was not planned as a trilogy or even as having a sequel. Yes, it was left open-ended. But Matt Reeves made very clear he had no way of knowing how well this would do so he made no such plans.
I don’t know this for sure, but I really think the riddler in this movie was inspired by the really life serial killer called the zodiac killer. Edit: they actually said he was inspired by the zodiac! I didn’t know it was confirmed
The music for everything was great , catwomans theme was so nice , riddlers was great , batmans was great too , never know whether it’s his theme or riddlers sometimes though
as one of the biggest DK fans out there, after i watched the batman this year, i would definitely say that the batman is the best Batman film ever and the dk is the best Joker film ever. coz the majority of people who watch dk, the usually cheer for joker and they fall in love with the joker and stuff, but this film makes you like batman more then the villains. thats my opinion. P.S loved your video Seb, keep it up 👍
Never read the comics, never watched the other Batman movies but this gripped me from the title card to the final monologue. It's one of those movies that aren't just a cinema experience
Some differences that makes this one stand out from the others: Other variants had him with an entire team of scientists who put his gadgets together for him. In here, he makes them himself. I seem to remember in others, Gordon simply slipped him case files, and he did the work on his own time. In here, he's actually working with the cops and going to crime scenes. Not to mention he demonstrates a knowledge of forensics. Also speaks directly to people who claim Batman sucks as a hero because Gotham is still crime ridden: how is he supposed to clean up Gotham when the entire system is corrupted?
That's one of the negative things I felt about the Nolan trilogy. If Batman was so smart, why did he rely on Lucius Fox for the vehicles and gadgetry?? Another nitpick that some people argue is how there wasn't much Bruce screentime. Imo, I think it was a great Batman movie. It was explained in the dialogue that Bruce didn't like "being" Bruce Wayne, as the story covers Year 2: he hasn't developed the playboy image for the public eye yet. And it shows perfectly in the movie.
man watching this now, i just can't control myself to tell you, to watch tenet (2020) and the lighthouse (2019). super great movies, both with robert pattinson, which does an excelent acting in both
The Batman is lowkey the best superhero movie released in cinema history. The cinematography is top notch, Zoe’s Selina is addictive Idc bout the costume it’s their debut year so ofc the costumes were not at their prime. The soundtrack ?….. UGHHHSHSNSN
24:05 I think he mentioned he was against the usual hollywood "get a superhero role and take a boatload of gear to get huge" model that everyone follows
Great reaction!! Honestly speaking if most ppl are going to compare this film, which is the first film in a new solo series, to the other batman film which was known as the best - TDK, which was the second film in its series where some groundwork was already laid down… it says more about The Batman being great than some may think. An honest fair comparison would be to compare The Batman to the first film in the Nolan trilogy bc they’re both the first Batman films in their series… but people don’t because we already know The Batman is better. It’s the only Batman film where I’ve seen people divided on whether ‘which is better TDK or The Batman?’ which says something. So irregardless of whether you like The Batman better or not, there’s no denying it’s still a fantastic film that’s at least UP there in the top. Personally speaking for myself, both TDK and TB are films as a whole that are equally ranked in #1 BUT I actually do like The Batman maybe an inch better than The Dark Knight bc not only is it a great film, it’s a great BATMAN film - the most comic accurate one to date. TDK was mainly carried by Heath’s performance if we are being real lol. But in The Batman we have Batman being a true detective, his voice is great, the fight scenes are fantastic, he never breaks his no kill code, he has a wonderful arc where he realizes what he has to become for the people of his city etc. I also cared for the BatCat relationship in this film more just bc it feels more emotionally driven.
definitely agree that The Batman is far more comic accurate and true to the character. While i usually don't expect everything to be very comic accurate, it was clear throughout this film that Matt Reeves truly understood Batman and his take on the character is my favourite.
@@Henry-fn1zw I respect your opinion. But personally, Begins was kinda meh to me. It wasn’t bad but it didn’t wow me and doesn’t feel close to as great as TDK. Also for your ‘y’all never talk about begins’, i know you can’t be talking about me in your ‘y’all’ bc I literally just spoke about how strange it was that people never wanted to compare The Batman to Begins since it would be a more fair comparison given they’re both the first films in their trilogies. That being said, sorry to say I think you’d be in the minority to think that Begins is better.
I love this film, but I love The Dark Knight even more bc it's literally like my favourite film of all time. I would say the cinematography is better in this, but on every other level, The Dark Knight is either about equal or better. I think its interesting how many people like this catwoman, bc honestly I wasn't a huge fan, Zoe Kravitz is a good actress but I don't think she was the right casting and the script and how she inparticular was written wasn't the best. This is just my opinion tho, so I totally understand if people disagree
I'm going to apologize in advance for this comment, because I hate myself for thinking of it in the first place, but once Catwoman said, "You're already spoken for", I couldn’t unsee it. Gotham is Batmans Bella Swan.
Paul Dano is so good in this movie just like every other movie hes been in and i wouldnt say this movie is better than dark knight but it is definently just as good
The dark knight is on a level that is hard to comapre any other super hero film to. But honestly this movie is a love letter to batman and batman fans. So I would say this is my favorite Batman movie. The Dark Knight is more of a Joker movie to me than a batman movie. This film literally had Batman in almost every single frame of the movie.
The riddler's design and "Riddles" is based on an actual serial killer called "The zodiac killer" which was famous for sending the police and media riddles to taunt them And he actually never got caught
Zodiac sent ciphers not riddles, they reference the cyphers at one point in this movie. They also reference his disguise, which is very similar to Riddler's outfit edit: didn't know ciphers is spelt with an I and not a Y
Riddler doesn't know Batman is Bruce; he thought he could kill Wayne with the bomb at the tower and still have the fireproof envelope and the one in the bat cage in the flat delivered to Batman, he describes Bruce as "the only one we didn't get" and also compliments Batman's outfit and expresses how he was inspired by him while also expressing resentment for Wayne during the interrogation.

I love the shot of Batman walking towards Penguin being upside down in the car, like how a bat hangs upside down. So cool.
It’s pretty much a given that the Iceberg Lounge pops off on New Years 🔥
The director of photography on this is Greig Fraser. He also worked on Let Me In, Killing Them Softly, Rogue One, Dune, and a few episodes of The Mandalorian. One of my favorite cinematographers working today.
It was a misdirect, Riddler doesn’t actually know Batman is Bruce Wayne.
I find this to be the first "true" Batman film in that it really concentrates on Batman while still having a strong villain that doesn't overshadow him. Cinematography and score were fantastic and gave the film a feeling of dread that fit the story. My issue with the Nolan films is that Gotham was an afterthought (aside from parts of Begins) when it should be a "character". As far as all the Dark Knight comparisons, that film is a great Joker movie with Batman in it. This film is a great Batman film that concentrates on Batman and shows his process/method and motivation in a way that no other films have (can't speak for any animated movies since I have not seen any).
👆 all that.
I like reeves Batman and the villains, however his Bruce Wayne personality to the public is his downfall. He’s my second favourite Batman as he doesn’t kill, (I don’t think?).
But yeah… KEATON ALL THE WAY
So this film shows his process/ method and motivation better than Batman Begins? You either haven't seen begins, or haven't watched it in a very long time.
@@moonknight4053 Bruce's personality to the public is actually perfectly faithful to the character considering at this stage in his career he legitimately didnt have a public persona. He's still consumed by trauma and obsessed with the Gotham project and the freedom he feels when he is Batman. Later on he learns that Gotham needs both bruce and batman and thus develops an additional alter ego the billionaire playboy.
@@jaburkie Yes, I have seen it, and I think it's easily the best of the Nolan Trilogy. But, I stand by my statement. Bales Batman is not my favorite, although he is the best Bruce Wayne. It's my opinion, you obviously have a different one, and that's ok.
I kind of like the Dark Knight more because of Joker but with Nolan Bat films the villains are usually the ones outshining Batman. While in this movie Batman is actually given the focus, the camera angles are shot in his pov, we feel what he's going through and what he's experiencing. We didn't need to see a flashback of his parents because Robert delivers that grief through his performance, like how he arrived at the first crime scene staring at the boy. And the funeral scene as Bruce, he looks so disconnected from the outside world. Plus I love how there's so many emphasis on his eyes.
Robert is my Batman.
" he wants to save Gotham, and he does so so by making criminals shit their pants. What it's not working , he said so constantly throughout the movie. In the story Alfred treats Bruce warmly but they still have a distance. Alfred genuinely feels like the humanity Bruce once had has been in his quest to stop crime. Bruce is just awkward he's weird doesn't know how to act like a person. For example, Christian Bale Batman was a version where he needed to isolate himself for a time to understand what he needs to do, what he needs to become, but he never felt alien. Pattinson Brews Pattinson as Batman feels alien. The dudes desperate for some kind of relationship that's beyond beating people's faces in but he doesn't allow myself to open up"
- Brown table
Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park with this film, it's so good on so many levels from the acting, to the musical score and the tone was all brilliant!
If you watch "the sacred killing of a deer" you'll see why Barry was chosen to play joker. I'm really excited to see what he's going to do with the role and what part he'll have to play in the sequels
Yes but I hope they allow Barry to fully divest into the character and have fun. Instead of playing someone who's crazy, he plays the character with his own style that truly embodies who the joker is. He isn't just chaos but the man's extremely intelligent and finds joy in making Batman bend his no kill rule. Though I loved that deleted scene, because it gave me chills and feel creepy, I was hearing Heath Ledger's Joker and not Barry's. He doesn't have to look a mess to be creepy, I don't want a over top thing.
Something I respect the screenwriters for is that they're fully aware of the expectation for a shirtless scene in a superhero movie and don't even try to come up with an excuse for it, it's just "Yep, he's figuring this out with his shirt off, you're welcome"
I loved the detail that his glider suit is just an army flight suit and parachute and he clearly hasn't used it much since it's only been 2 years since he became batman
Michael Giacchino made "Ave Maria" terrifying. Also, you're the first person that references that song being in "Hitman". Props.
I love how emo he is i mean he lost his parents and Robert himself said that it's like Bruce never really got over his parents' death, it's like he's been grieving his whole life, that's why he's such a recluse that lives with a weight on his shoulders, feeling that he has a duty to protect the city and hopes to see it changing for the better, the things he does for the city - the batman - thats all he has left and i just love how human batman is in this movie. Also the detective vibe really made me feel antsy in a good way i loved it sooo much. And the way the scenes were shot especially that car chase scene like the sounds of the batmobile got me goosebumps istg and the catwoman's POV ughhh soo good!! Also I LOVE how we literally watch him being portrayed as "the vengeance" but then becoming a true hero in the end, not only getting the bad guys, but also actually saving people.
It seemed unrealistic how in Nolan’s trilogy how sure of himself he was after coming back to Gotham because even after returning he just slipped right into the playboy persona and didn’t really develop it it makes sense that despite how sure of batman he is he isn’t sos sure how to use his own name and privilege to his advantage
Agreed! Side note, I like how you mentioned that Batman hoped to see a change in Gotham - I wonder if that’s what inspired the Riddler’s motivation to “sea” a change as well ;) lol
Except Bruce Wayne isn't supposed to be emo its like he's screaming that he's batman when he is supposed to be this eccentric billionaire with a "huge ego" and no free time that's his true mask not batman 24/7 and that's the issue I had with this movie
@@xxraptorxx8180 yesss exactly!! i guess you could say that the playboy persona was just a way to protect himself from feeling all of the bad feelings, but you're right he didn't have time to develop it so it felt kinda too forced and i like much more how this new batman is darker and just sad all the time, i believe that he is going to mature a lot in the next movies so it will make much more sense also watching his growth is going to be really satisfying
@@angryfoxgaming6276 thats a different bruce wayne tho, i love the other batman movies too but in this new one Robert took the chance to interpret Bruce in a different way with a completely different personality i mean i loved it but i get that some people prefer playboy Bruce haha this Bruce is more focused on the pain he feels and thats exactly what made him create batman so it makes sense to me that he is emo
as a comics fan, this is one of the best movie adaptations I've ever seen!! it stayed very true to what I think Batman should be: a symbol of hope for his city!!
"you really dont know its collin farrel unless you know its collin farrel" 🤣🤣
The Riddler was targeting Bruce Wayne because of his father's 'sins', he didn't know he was Bruce Wayne > 'He's the only one we didn't get'. The Riddler thought he and the Batman were working together to expose the corruption in Gotham. The bomb that Alfred opened was meant to be opened by Bruce Wayne, and the fireproof package inside was for Batman to find at the crime scene like he found the other riddles.
I just love this movie. I saw it in the theater twice and a few more since being on HBOmax.
The score is just amazing. They give Gotham city its own character, the fact that it only rains on the days where a murder is committed is just like the city is crying. Cinematography is amazing, as is the acting.
One of my tope 3 "superhero" films along with The Dark Knight and Man of Steel.
Can't wait to see where they take this, I just hope that they can keep the quality up
They also didn't photoshop certain things and put it in New York(Nolan Trilogy).
The Batman is the best live action portrayal of a realistic Batman . I also liked how this movie was more focused on Batman's detective skills .
I was worried this movie was gonna be cheesy but it was actually SO much better than I pictured! I can't wait for the sequel
The Joker clip was supposed to be in the middle of the film, but it was decided it would have taken away from the story.
You're right in that this will be a trilogy of films. And there will be 3 HBOMax shows. Colin Farrell has already signed a contract for a Penguin show, and the other two will be set of Catwoman & Arkham Asylum.
The score was done by award winning film composer Michael Giacchino.
And Zoe Kravits is Jason Mamoa's step-daughter. So you can connect The Batman to GoT.
I love-love, love, LOVE-this relatively low-tech Batman.
It feels like a Batman that's still building up his arsenal over time while honing his skills on the detective side of things.
Also, the last act of this movie was straight up unsettling.
One man took some outcasts and infected them with terrible purpose, and as a result, they planned to lie in wait and open fire on people who came seeking safety.
Just.... viscerally uncomfortable because we know how possible something like that is.
I agree. You can also see that with the level of sophistication with his technology: he’s got the eye camera sure, and the suit is pretty tactical but his bat mobile is just more of a souped up mustang than Christian Bales tumbler. His suit can fold up and make a gliding wing suit instead of Bale’s memory cloth cape. He also spends a lot of time tracking people down undercover using a motorbike. It’s a totally different type of Batman and it’s honestly great
To me, this is a masterpiece of a film. Storytelling, visuals and also the character development for Batman. Throughout the whole film Batman is just using fear to fight off villians and be "Vengeance". Fast forward to when the mayoral campaign happens and the guy who almost got beat up to death looks at Batman and says "I'm vengeance", Bruce realizes that he had it all wrong from the start. He needs to be better than just "Vengeance". Matt Reeves also likes to use biblical references in his films. When Batman cuts off the wire, he falls down in the water (signifying baptism) and he comes out leading a pack of civillians to safety, only then he realizes that he should be a hero to the people, in fact the scene where the woman is being taken away by the medical unit, she clings on to Batman and doesn't let go until he tells her it's okay. So so many small details in this film. That to me is what makes it a masterpiece.
Both this and the dark knight are amazing, but i think TDK is better
@@theofreres1882 in an overall movie point of view, I agree TDK is better, but as a Batman film in my opinion this is the best one. Problem is, TDK is the 2nd in Nolan's trilogy and this Batman is the 1st one and it's being compared to TDK. I can't see the sequel to this being better than it.
I wish everyone would relax on comparing if to the dark knight
Fr
I've seen this movie in cinemas so many times and what can I say. In my opinion this is the best *Batman* movie. i love The Dark Knight but this movie is a real Batman Movie and made me walk out of the cinemas feeling like i have never felt in any movie before it speaks to me a lot more than the the Dark knight or other Batman movies and i just love this version on batman that he is a younger Batman Is so awesome and this development of Vengeance towards Hope so brilliantly done 10/10 the soundtracks 10/10 the acting just perfect I love The Batman
Why everyone that react on this film not now that this Batman is a more younger version he is just 2 years Batman so far that's why they didn't now him he is at the beginning
Best Batman so far! Detective Comics Batman!
No ninja Batman. No IronMan Batman. No rollerblading hockey mooks.
Just the world’s greatest detective who scares people before punching them into submission.
"I just ordered a slice of pumpkin pie."

I feel like you’re the one person at the funeral who won’t stop laughing 😂
this is my favorite batman movie, and also probably my favorite movie of all time. Saw it in theatres 5 times and can honestly say i wouldve seen it many more times if i hadn't already spent too much money on it. Just such a good movie
Same tbh
Yes another upload let's go love your videos :)
They created such a gritty, dark Gotham. Fckin loved it!!! Looks like you did too. Enjoy the ride!! 🦇
Being this was his second year as batman, the older bale batman would've realized the riddlers pictures etc. were right across from the iceberg lounge
I am not sure why everyone is comparing this to TDK. Are we forgetting this is the first film while TDK was already the second one. We should compare sequels. But I think its a testament to how great this movie is if they already using TDK as the benchmark.
Pretty much because they are both at the top of the list when talking about live action Batman. You can't really compare Batman Begins with this because The Batman will win easily.
Comparing it to dark knight is basically admitting that its way better than batman begins or dark knight rises.
To be honest this movie doesn’t even come close to the dark Knight trilogy
@@damiantirado9616 as a Batman movie it beats the hell out of all 3 of em
Because people compare every CB to The Dark Knight even 14 years after it's release. It's legacy and legendary is that strong.
For me it's a tie, just like you said no need to compare. I can see how the director drew inspiration from the dark Knight as well as this is a much different type of story to what the other movies did. Fantastic movie I saw it in the theater and it was just absolute showcase of what many comic book readers wanted
Same, but I prefer Robert's Batmn because it felt more personal and in character. I kind of like the Dark Knight more because of Joker but with Nolan Bat films the villains are usually the ones outshining Batman. While in this movie Batman is actually given the focus, the camera angles are shot in his pov, we feel what he's going through and what he's experiencing. We didn't need to see a flashback of his parents because Robert delivers that grief through his performance, like how he arrived at the first crime scene staring at the boy. And the funeral scene as Bruce, he looks so disconnected from the outside world. Plus I love how there's so many emphasis on his eyes.
@@aanyamallick7747 very true and to me Bruce Wayne in the dark knight trilogy just isn’t really that interesting for some reason
The answer is YES‼️
Most impressive is the practical effects and very limited CGI.
I wasn’t interested in yet another Batman movie or Pattinson… but by gosh I was pleasantly wrong. Fast became one of my favourite superhero movies.
Dark, gritty, haunting, plot intriguing, villain terrifying, music broody and visually stunning! 🖤
P.S. So happy no mention of HP in your reaction 😊
@@overdev1993 Yes.
This film just made a welcome change to the last decade of excessive overuse of cgi.
I had to go back and rewatch the scenes with Penguin, cause I somehow didn't know it was Colin until after the movie was over, and my god... he's unrecognizable, but so great in the role. Hope we get to see more of him!
You have to remember that this is Batman Year 2, so he's very young and angsty. Also in his detective phase 👍🏽
1:12 omg i felt that like i watched it twice in the cinema and both times i was like "wow that's huge" lol
Seb, laughing with you to the riddler singing Ave Maria has been one of my favorite reaction moments 😂
I’ve been waiting for this reaction since I found out it was coming out to stream
Not only do you laugh at every scene, you’re always encouraging someone to “smooch”. 🤣
If you watch closely you notice that one of the staples on the side of the documents is missing when joker hands them back. Also would really recommend watching prisoners
Any conversation regarding the best batman movie needs to also include Mask of the Phantasm. Yes its that good, more people should watch it
He definitely didn’t know Bruce and Batman were the same person. It’s in how he references Bruce as “him”, and Batman as “you” when they’re talking in the prison. Batman wasn’t sure either until Riddler says “he’s the only one we didn’t get.” He also looks at the camera to see if it was recording so as to not react to him saying his name until he was sure, otherwise he would have reacted like “bro who told you?”
The whole thing with the trailers and the scene here was to make us think Riddler knew his identity but he ultimately shows his cards and we learn through that interrogation that he didn’t know.
"There isn't an equivalent of Gotham in MARVEL"
I mean, Hell's Kitchen is a really nasty and corrupt district. The Daredevil show actually does a great job portraying it as a Gotham of sorts
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
You laugh at every scene…I love it.
HAVE BEEN WAITIIIING
I think that when people compare this to dark knight their comparing apples to oranges and dark knight was a sequel this is the first of hopefully a series of films as well
It is pretty fantastic. Something we don't get from movies nowadays. It's a thriller through and through and I think it's great. The Dark Knight is a more 'realistic' human hero. While this one felt much more like Gothem imo. I cannot wait for the next one.
I do believe that the green juice he put in him is a prototype version of Banes Venom, setting him up in a future film. Screw the Joker, I want more Bane, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze and plenty of other awesome villains to choose from.
If anyone could make Condiment King scary, it’s Matt Reeves.
Maybe Hell's Kitchen is the Gotham equivalent with all the organized crime. But this mystery, noir feel kinda makes this my favorite Batman movie.
the best movie soundtrack for a superhero movie for sure
I commented asking if you were gonna check this out on your up video and I'm so glad you did. This is my favorite batman movie period. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it too!
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!
I love this film so much man! The goons at the start know of the Batman but have never seen him til he train station, you can hear one of them saying “it’s him”, letting us know the goons know of the Batman, they’ve heard of a fighting masked vigilante! 10/10 film for me honestly, 3 hours went by so quick !
I think you're spot-on with the injection guess. They took the time to show a shot of the vial holding a neon green liquid. Plus I believe that adrenaline needs to be injected into the heart. Batman put the shot in his leg. Pretty sure that it's supposed to be Venom. The substance that Bane uses.
In the cannon prequel book, it is revealed that Bruce loves chemistry and concocts his own formulas all the time. Maybe Bane somehow gets his hands on it and that is where his strength comes from, maybe he becomes addicted to it. Also, adrenaline is clear not green so that just adds to the theory.
It seemed that he pumped it directly into his artery which would be as good as pumping it onto the heart
The thing is if it was venom wouldn’t he have very easily killed the guy he was hitting?
Also you do actually inject adrenaline in the thigh
I got the art book to the movie, according to concept art it’s just an adrenaline shot
The thing I love most about this version, aside from the cinematography and the soundtrack, is just how green Batman is. Like he's clearly still suffering from losing his parents and you feel it, he doesn't give a fuck. And while you say he's "tanking" shots, in that shirtless scene you can see that he's got a lot of lasting, deep scars, even though he's only been at it for 2 years. He's still figuring everything out and he's rough.
As soon as I realized we weren't doing the Wayne parents death I knew I was going to like it.
Great reaction and depending on where you are in the uk it’s still on at some cinemas and we’ll worth seeing on a big screen. Having seen it 3 times now, I think it probably is my favourite Batman film. I think everything works so well (acting, visuals, story, score etc.) and I have some things that I didn’t like about the dark knight so think that’s now in second for me.
Same for Australia. Its still showing in cinemas
I watch certain REACT channels and your channel is seriously one of my favorites.. I love that your open about your love for Chris Evans & overall isn’t afraid of getting emotional for no reasons. Thank you for being on a TH-cam -Corpse
So hyped!!!!
I've been waiting for this upload for ever
I love that you just watched "UP" and how different the tones are of UP and this movie, but the same music composer
This was not planned as a trilogy or even as having a sequel. Yes, it was left open-ended. But Matt Reeves made very clear he had no way of knowing how well this would do so he made no such plans.
That's bullshit.
Matt reeves planned a Batman trilogy from the beginning
I don’t know this for sure, but I really think the riddler in this movie was inspired by the really life serial killer called the zodiac killer.
Edit: they actually said he was inspired by the zodiac! I didn’t know it was confirmed
The music for everything was great , catwomans theme was so nice , riddlers was great , batmans was great too , never know whether it’s his theme or riddlers sometimes though
as one of the biggest DK fans out there, after i watched the batman this year, i would definitely say that the batman is the best Batman film ever and the dk is the best Joker film ever. coz the majority of people who watch dk, the usually cheer for joker and they fall in love with the joker and stuff, but this film makes you like batman more then the villains. thats my opinion. P.S loved your video Seb, keep it up 👍
20:26 that was completely practical stunt
Last day of classes, now this 🔥
Never read the comics, never watched the other Batman movies but this gripped me from the title card to the final monologue. It's one of those movies that aren't just a cinema experience
Paul Danos best roll is probably in There Will Be Blood. Then this, followed by Prisoners.
Some differences that makes this one stand out from the others:
Other variants had him with an entire team of scientists who put his gadgets together for him. In here, he makes them himself.
I seem to remember in others, Gordon simply slipped him case files, and he did the work on his own time. In here, he's actually working with the cops and going to crime scenes. Not to mention he demonstrates a knowledge of forensics.
Also speaks directly to people who claim Batman sucks as a hero because Gotham is still crime ridden: how is he supposed to clean up Gotham when the entire system is corrupted?
That's one of the negative things I felt about the Nolan trilogy. If Batman was so smart, why did he rely on Lucius Fox for the vehicles and gadgetry?? Another nitpick that some people argue is how there wasn't much Bruce screentime. Imo, I think it was a great Batman movie. It was explained in the dialogue that Bruce didn't like "being" Bruce Wayne, as the story covers Year 2: he hasn't developed the playboy image for the public eye yet. And it shows perfectly in the movie.
I am really glad you reacted to the deleted clip.
man watching this now, i just can't control myself to tell you, to watch tenet (2020) and the lighthouse (2019). super great movies, both with robert pattinson, which does an excelent acting in both
He didnt know bruce was batman, he said "Bruce Wayne, he was the only one we didnt get" during the arkham scene.
The Batman is lowkey the best superhero movie released in cinema history. The cinematography is top notch, Zoe’s Selina is addictive Idc bout the costume it’s their debut year so ofc the costumes were not at their prime. The soundtrack ?….. UGHHHSHSNSN
him: im vengeance
me: …hi vengeance, im dad
I saw it in 4DX at the theater... It was so crazy we were in another world!!
Loved the reaction! Like the bat brought to the background
“If you are justice…. Please do not lie… OMG THANKS “MIKE OXELONG” FOR DONATING $500!”
"big evil Danny Devito" lol!!...
24:05 I think he mentioned he was against the usual hollywood "get a superhero role and take a boatload of gear to get huge" model that everyone follows
Great reaction!! Honestly speaking if most ppl are going to compare this film, which is the first film in a new solo series, to the other batman film which was known as the best - TDK, which was the second film in its series where some groundwork was already laid down… it says more about The Batman being great than some may think. An honest fair comparison would be to compare The Batman to the first film in the Nolan trilogy bc they’re both the first Batman films in their series… but people don’t because we already know The Batman is better. It’s the only Batman film where I’ve seen people divided on whether ‘which is better TDK or The Batman?’ which says something. So irregardless of whether you like The Batman better or not, there’s no denying it’s still a fantastic film that’s at least UP there in the top.
Personally speaking for myself, both TDK and TB are films as a whole that are equally ranked in #1 BUT I actually do like The Batman maybe an inch better than The Dark Knight bc not only is it a great film, it’s a great BATMAN film - the most comic accurate one to date. TDK was mainly carried by Heath’s performance if we are being real lol. But in The Batman we have Batman being a true detective, his voice is great, the fight scenes are fantastic, he never breaks his no kill code, he has a wonderful arc where he realizes what he has to become for the people of his city etc. I also cared for the BatCat relationship in this film more just bc it feels more emotionally driven.
definitely agree that The Batman is far more comic accurate and true to the character. While i usually don't expect everything to be very comic accurate, it was clear throughout this film that Matt Reeves truly understood Batman and his take on the character is my favourite.
yall never talk bout begins😂 imo, I dont even think the batman is better than begins lmaoooo, Batman Begins is so underrated
@@Henry-fn1zw I respect your opinion. But personally, Begins was kinda meh to me. It wasn’t bad but it didn’t wow me and doesn’t feel close to as great as TDK. Also for your ‘y’all never talk about begins’, i know you can’t be talking about me in your ‘y’all’ bc I literally just spoke about how strange it was that people never wanted to compare The Batman to Begins since it would be a more fair comparison given they’re both the first films in their trilogies. That being said, sorry to say I think you’d be in the minority to think that Begins is better.
@@AT32556 For sure!! 👍 I feel like The Batman was a film that was almost like a ‘love letter’ to Batman fans who know the character to his core.
I think both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are better but I still liked the new movie
once you mentioned that you need to watch prisoners ive been invested PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch it . its one of my favorite movies
I love this film, but I love The Dark Knight even more bc it's literally like my favourite film of all time. I would say the cinematography is better in this, but on every other level, The Dark Knight is either about equal or better.
I think its interesting how many people like this catwoman, bc honestly I wasn't a huge fan, Zoe Kravitz is a good actress but I don't think she was the right casting and the script and how she inparticular was written wasn't the best.
This is just my opinion tho, so I totally understand if people disagree
Thank you for watching this.
I guess Hell’s Kitchen can be the Gotham equivalent to marvel but Gotham is definitely more dangerous
You would know, wouldn't you ?😉
I'm going to apologize in advance for this comment, because I hate myself for thinking of it in the first place, but once Catwoman said, "You're already spoken for", I couldn’t unsee it.
Gotham is Batmans Bella Swan.
Paul Dano is so good in this movie just like every other movie hes been in and i wouldnt say this movie is better than dark knight but it is definently just as good
The dark knight is on a level that is hard to comapre any other super hero film to. But honestly this movie is a love letter to batman and batman fans. So I would say this is my favorite Batman movie. The Dark Knight is more of a Joker movie to me than a batman movie. This film literally had Batman in almost every single frame of the movie.
The riddler's design and "Riddles" is based on an actual serial killer called "The zodiac killer" which was famous for sending the police and media riddles to taunt them
And he actually never got caught
Zodiac sent ciphers not riddles, they reference the cyphers at one point in this movie. They also reference his disguise, which is very similar to Riddler's outfit
edit: didn't know ciphers is spelt with an I and not a Y
@@bungobaggins01 oh yeah thats what i meant, i just forgot the "cypher" word so i just used "riddle" lol thanks for the correction
It's a combination of the zodiac killer and jigsaw for sure
i love how he used the edward cullen accent
This film feels like Batman Brave and the Bold... in live action...
Pure nostalgia... 🔥🔥🔥
I love how dark they made batman, he feels like a villain and I'm loving it
21:10 it feels so much like the Darth Vader Theme
