I can't emphasise just how strongly i feel about this film. In an age where we're bombarded with wave after wave of weightless, CGI-flooded superhero films, The Batman feels like a breath of fresh air. It all feels so real and driven by artistry and not solely corporate profit-chasing.
You can tell that everyone had so much fun making the movie, they’re fans of the characters. It’s a joy to watch Matt direct too, he just seems like a kid in a candy shop
I’m amazed at the scale of everything. I’ve been an extra in a couple of independent, smaller budget movies before, and it felt a lot more intimate. I can’t imagine being in something like this, it’s crazy. It looks like fun, but the size of everything (the sets, the huge special effects, the HUGE number of extras and characters involved, etc) looks and feels intimidating. Just the thought of being in Matt Reeves’ shoes directing this thing is just incomprehensible. I couldn’t do it. Hats off to him.
In other batman movies when he took his mask off he never had black around his eyes. That always made it feel less convincing. This is the first batman where he takes off the mask and you can see his black makeup. Makes me feel more in the world with just this little detail.
I love how they not only took inspiration from just the comics, but also from the past live action batmans and even the videogames, like Colin farrell even mentinons the Arkham games
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive The full quote being "I am vengeance. I am the knight. I am Batman!". It's also kind of horribly twisted out of context in this film, to the point where it's saying something very different.
There's another Featurette with the behind the scenes footage of the Car chase of the Penguin (The wrong way chase) on the Freeway, nearly all of it was practically done with pod driven cars with the Stuntmen driving them from pods on the roof of each car (So that the Actors could focus on their acting and not have to worry about the driving) and the Semi's had rear axle steering so that they could get the butt ends of the trailers right out as they were really Jack knifing, (Some Semi's actually have Rear Axle Steering to help the drivers steer them get around corners easier) I think it's on the HBO Max TH-cam Channel and it shows so much of how they made the chase part of the Film and make it look as realistic as possible with real Action footage instead of CGI, which although it has made Films cheaper and made some amazing scenes possible, its started to make it harder to believe that some of the scenes were filmed using real vehicles driven by real people......
As a huge batman fan,this is the most comic book accurate batman and Matt and the crew and actors fully understands the mythos. This is my favourite superhero ever. Can’t wait for the sequel
This movie is basically a live-action version of a Batman graphic novel and I loved every minute of it. Really stoked to see, what Matt Reeves and his team will come up with for the sequel.
I’m like 99% sure that was a mannequin. No way a real person could do that. They wouldn’t be able to breathe. Shooting a scene takes multiple takes (we’re talking hours to up to a whole day or multiple days for one scene here). It has to be a mannequin.
@@Gongolongo idk if I have bad taste for movies. MoS was okay. It really needed consistency to make it better as a whole interconnected movies in their attempt to copy the success of MCU. You know the rest how it went. Too bad shit happened to these movies.
I laughed when I heard Zoe say that Roberts jaw line was identical to the comic book version of batman. Because that's exactly what I said when I seen the movie, Robert is the closest looking actor in the bat suit than anyone who has ever played batman. And for someone like myself who cherishes anything batman, this was a real treat for the hard-core fans of the comic book series. Great work guys and gals 👏
As a MASSIVE Batman fan. I hold my Batman movies to a high bar, and this film went BEYOND my bar. My god. To see Matt, the crew, and the actors understand and know the myth and stories of Batman. I'm the happiest Batman fan in the world. This film was the most comic accurate Batman movie EVER! It's my favorite Live Action Batman out of all the Batman films. I am beyond Hyped for The Batman 2! In Matt, I believe!
I’m really glad they showed a behind the scenes of the train station fight at 17:05! I always wanted to get a closer look at the choreography and Batman’s moves in that scene
@@plasticweapon that's pathetic. What seems amateurish about this masterclass of blockbuster cinema? The gorgeous shots, haunting music, character driven storylines?
Paul Dano deserves an award for the Riddles, he was truly frightening.. Making a movie is very challenging to downright exhausting. Thank you Matt Reeves for Tha Batman.
Jeffrey Wright's Jim Gordon was one of the best highlights of this movie. I loved his portrayal of Gordon and the way they showed his partnership with Batman and how they actually did detective work together.
This film means so much to me and seeing the crew demonstrate how to make a movie during a pandemic was inspiring. This is my favorite Batman, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson understood the assignment and produced one of my top 3 superhero movies of all time. This movie will stand the test of time. The suit, car, and sets were perfect and the Riddler has never been better. I've watched it 4 or 5 times and I still really love watching it. Practical effects and confidence in your director are the keys to a good comic book adaptation. Making the world feel real and having characters with character archs are imperetive as well and this movie nails it all.
for me, this is by far the best live action Batman film ever made. truly incredible. I absolutely loved every single second of it. can't wait for the sequel. fingers crossed we get a villain never before seen on the big screen
I've heard that Matt wants to go back to the Comic Books for the next Villains, Crocodile/Gator Man, the Joker portrayed as someone who has a degenerative disease from birth, the Scarecrow and the Ventriloquist/Puppet Master who is so twisted because he was once so lonely and Shy that he lived through the Dummy/Puppet that he used to make a living from as a Comic Act, but his psychological/Narcissistic Sociopathy leads to him either thinking or pretending that the Ventriloquist Dummy is a real person who Bully's him into Committing Crimes, I've heard of "Haunted Dolls" and Puppets but this particular Gotham Criminal would be headed for the Arkham Asylum for the rest of his life if he was a real person

MCU Spidey is the most accurate live action adaptation easily and the first trilogy is for kids. But yes, I hope we get a Kraven's Last Hunt/Death of Ultimate Spider-Man in a mature gritty thriller drama like the Batman. MCU gets overhated after endgame because of bandwagon but nothing touched the Batman but Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
This movie feels very personal and thats why I love it so much. Seeing them actually having fun making this puts the biggest smile on face. This IS my favorite movie
I love this movie and the fact that Andy Serkis was chosen to be the latest in a long line of talented actors to play Alfred is just fantastic, he is one of my favorite actors and I'm glad to see him play yet another iconic character
Over the years I’ve lost interest any Batman related media. After seeing this film, it was a breath of fresh air. I really hope we get to see more of Matt Reeves’s work. Hopefully we get more heroes like this.
"Underneath the bridge, top has sprung a leak and the animals are trapped, they've all become my pets." Something in the Way is the Riddler telling us he was gonna flood the city, and none of us picked up on it. It was a spoiler hidden in a soundtrack. The song was his final riddle. THAT is how brilliant this movie is.
You can tell that this is a film that was put together with pure passion for these characters. Matt Reeves is through and through a Batman fan. It comes off in every page of the script, and clearly every frame of the film.
I love seeing footage of Matt actually directing. We don't see and hear directors actually directing in the moment very often and of all the movies, seeing him directing these amazing actors playing these amazing characters is always such a cool thing to see
That's a good point but am a nerd so I always thought that his movement was caused by his injuries and years of brutal training. That's the weird thing about film man, it's all interpretation and personal experience. What made you disconnect from the film, somehow made me connect more with it more haha
@@GoofyGoober690 I always love talking with people like you because my perspective was completely opposite. That’s cool 😅 And I think like that too but the earlier films had so many fast cuts and you barely see any of the actual action. But on that same ticket I’m a humongous fan of John wick, So I was very excited to see that style of Batman fighting you know 🤷🏽♂️
facts but that’s not bales fault they had the choreography like that. also i still can’t believe he was only batman for a year or 2 in the dark knight trilogy out of 10 years
Rest in Piece Kevin Conroy 🕊️. You made me fall in the love with the character of the Batman when I first played the Arkham Games. Ever since then I have been obsessed with the character and for that I forever respect you. Fly high Kevin.
I'm really glad to see that Matt took the Detective Story approach which was missing in the previous films and I don't think any grounded villain has ever terrified me more than Paul Dano's Riddler.
This movie felt like you just started a video game. Like you have to start from this and eventually grow into a ridiculously strong character. I hope this character gets more than a trilogy, I hope it’s in DC. I hope it’s done right. Matt Reeves needs to be there at all times.
I have been obsessed with Batman and the world of Gotham City since I was 6yrs old and my dad took me to see Batman '89 I'd never been more excited and confident of another Batman film (any film really) than with this; and that all started before one frame of a trailer was shown. Hearing the vision, along with the amazingly talented crew made me beyond excited. Then the trailer came and everything I had imagined and hoped for was unfolding with just a small percentage of the film being teased. Can't wait to see what's next🦇♥️
sammmmmme lol. not obsessed though but i was there in eighty nine and ive been a big fan even before that lol. im 43 and about to watch lego batman which surprisingly, is incredible
I've was more intrigued by batman growing up but I really fell in love with the character through a re-watch of animated series, brief moments he would appear in young justice, the brave and the bold and the batman animated show. He also embodies everything I love and is a character I always come back to. He's my end all be all.
I haven’t seen a more compelling, and engrossing and captivating movie than this picture in a very very long time, honestly I enjoyed it so much, I could watch it over and over and not get sick of it, for me, Goat of all Movies period. Believable and the cast and crew crafted a seminal masterpiece in our relationship with the Batman and Gotham. Sublime and spot on ❤
Best kind of Comic book movies IMO are ones that aren't necessarily comic book movies. For example, The Dark Knight, A crime thriller with Batman & the Joker in it. The Batman, a noir Detective film Batman in it. Logan, a western with Wolverine. All the best just focus on being good movies, with the exception here or there
This movie means so much to me. It's a reflection of the place I grew up in and the issues it faces. It is also a movie I can watch time and time again because of its narrative prowess and its beauty. You can tell the people behind this movie love and respect the characters.
I loved Batman since I was a kid. In my 40's. Is it possible to be addicted to a movie? Still can't stop thinking about it. Great movie making is still alive. Seen it 4 times. Everyone did an amazing job. Robert, the little intricacies of your Batman say so much. It makes sense now that you all took how Batman would walk into a crime scene seriously, and was D@mn well executed. Left me wanting more. Please don't stray from this formula. The comments on these videos from my fellow Batman lovers is proof.
Thanks for posting this, movie is a tad expensive on blu ray and digital, so i appreciate this. Its free on HBO MAX, and Im glad it is, I love this BTS, it feels like an old school behind the scenes actually seeing shots get filmed, building the sets, etc. Its not just actors sitting in a chair.
In the era where there are already plenty of short edited videos, we need more of long duration movies. The Batman is perfect, three hours spent well, immersed into the world of Batman. 👏🏻
@@levelupprotocolYou realize most great movies out there are at least 2 and a half to 3 hours long right? Runtime does not determine the quality of a movie. It's the writing and the direction that counts. Most people here would prefer a great 3 hour batman movie than a trash 2 hour batman and robin movie.
FINALLY, a movie made by people who actually care and put in their all. I wanna hug all of them for creating such a masterpiece. The best Batman movie to date. Thank you Matt reeves and Robert Pattinson and everyone else who was involved.
Soon 40 years of life i am. Movie freak and Batman fan since i was very young. This is the greatest movie i ever i saw. Movie perfection. A true masterpiece with an amazing soundtrack!
I can't explain how much I thought this was gona flop when I heard Robert Patterson was gona be batman and was shocked how much he reminded me of the comics and he absolutely smashed it
You can really see how much the actors, crew and Matt enjoyed working on this movie. They really did their research here and I can't wait to see what they do with the sequel
What a great production from the start to finish you can feel how they passionate about their works love how they used the background the practical effects, the script all of it, is so good to see. Matt reeves really executed his own version of the batman movie its really ground breaking. Great one hour of this bts production!!💯👌💞
I love comic books, I love superheroes from all companies but it's Batman who time after time rises to the top. From the age of three I became obsessed with the character and never wanted to be anything else but Batman. I always wear my batman costume for parties and cons and sometimes just to feel strong. I remember being 6 or 7 and my uncle rather spitfully told me I couldn't be batman because he wasn't real and I sat silently with tears in my eyes and I heard my dad's voice over my shoulder and he said "yes, you can be batman.." "you can stand for everything batman stands for and that is more real than anything in this world." so I live by those words and if you read this small insignificant comment I want you to know that you can too. Don't give up on yourself or the people in your life, you can be a force for good for every other human being on this planet, that's what makes real heroes. And if something is wrong and it comes to push you down. Don't ever think you can't push back, because you can. Most people in the world today would encourage you to be selfish, not think of others don't be a hero. But if you are still reading this you know how wrong that is deep down. I'm telling you to be a hero, separate yourself from the chains of ignorance and the next time you find yourself watching something awful happen weather it's elderly woman falling on the street or you see someone getting hurt by others. Do whatever you can to help even if it's a small thing it could end up saving a life. 🦇
i'm just glad that they finally addressed the fact he is wearing eye makeup, instead of ignoring the fact. in every other Batman film, the makeup magically disappears when he takes the cowl off.
It would be cool if they started this trilogy with him saying "I'm vengeance" and then because the riddler uses that against him in the end fight, then in the 2nd film he says "I'm the knight" people start calling him the dark knight, and then in the 3rd he finally says "I'm Batman" and then roll credits
Same. I hope James Gunn will also go for the same theme for the DCU Batman like Matt Reeves with his version of Batman, where they did a classic noir detective story & how it felt like everything literally came to life from the detective comics.
Seriously, I never thought I'd say it, but this is the best batman film today. The Dark Knight was a masterpiece, but I felt like that was a Joker Film more than a Batman film the way the Heath stole the show. This was the best Batman film.
This is the only Batman movie I've seen that really captures that feel and mood of the best stories like Hush, Long Halloween, Year One etc. It's clear they put so much love and consideration into making that happen.
Movie of the year it feels so diffrent than most superhero movies its such a good change superhero movies caan be so much more than just good guy vs bad guy
Watched the film six times so far in my view it's probably the best film of the last ten years. Repeatability is what I judge a film on to become a masterpiece and stand the test of time. This film as that potential!!!... Hope to see the 4hrs cut someday
batman is my favorite superhero and i legit love most of the films they've made about the character. just keep that in mind when i say that this legit the best live action batman movie ever made. reeves, pattinson, and the entire crew just get batman better than any live action film the character has ever had. well done guys. well done.
The batman is one of the best modern movies due to how faithful, innovative and still properly made. Most superhero movies are purely copy paste in everything. This is a unique film.
What really blows my mind when watching this movie is the artistry and passion they put into it. The movie is full of it, you can see it on every angle and shot they made. Bravo!
@@lordsnow8438 that's just your asinine opinion. And much like yourself, it doesn't matter in the slightest. The vast majority of both audiences and critics absolutely loved this film. Because it's incredible. If you like the plot-hole ridden garbage that was the dark knight trilogy better than more power to ya. But that's all it is. YOUR opinion, and nothing more. You see film is art. And art is ENTIRELY subjective. Therefore there is no objective standards of "better" or "worse".... only what people LIKE, what people THINK, is better or worse. You think the absolute cringe-fest of the dark knight is better, with it's ridiculous growling bat voice and a Batman who is weaker than a 12 year old girl, and I think the absolutely perfect The Batman is better. Can't believe I had to explain to a presumably grown person how art and opinions work, but it is what it is.
@@davidmutchler2403 that's nothing more than your asinine opinion. Art is ENTIRELY subjective, guy. Your opinions aren't fact. There is no"best" in a subjective medium. Just personal preferences. And for me, the Batman is a masterpiece and the perfect Batman film and the dark knight trilogy is plot-hole ridden garbage, with atrocious shaky cam jump cut bullshit "action" scenes, a insanely cringe, laughable growling bat voice, and a Batman who is weaker than a 12 year old girl. Hey if you like that trash, then more power to ya. But don't come around stating your personal opinion as though it's fact. It isn't. you do not speak for everyone, especially life long Batman fans who wanted an actual faithful adaptation for the first time on the big screen.
Seeing the eye make up when he took off the cowl is what sold me right away on this movie. I was so happy to see someone finally acknowledge that. And then the movie ended up being one of my favorite interpretations of Batman and Gotham. Diving into the mental struggle Bruce has in the beginning and the growth of him finding the best way to be Batman. For both himself and Gotham
Absolute fucking masterclass of a film. I'm on board for as many of these as you guys can make! I grew up with the original...I don't now if it will ever be beat but this is up there with the original and for me, that's incredible. The Nolan movies were special but this was something different. I've seen the Nolan movies once each. I've watched this film 4x now and will watch it again and again moving forward. Please give me more!
I can't emphasise just how strongly i feel about this film. In an age where we're bombarded with wave after wave of weightless, CGI-flooded superhero films, The Batman feels like a breath of fresh air. It all feels so real and driven by artistry and not solely corporate profit-chasing.

I love this movie.... the definitive "detective/crime thriller" Batman story onscreen... Can't wait what Matt Reeves have in store for the sequel.
"Underneath the bridge, top has sprung a leak and the animals are trapped, they've all become my pets."
Something in the Way is the Riddler telling us he was gonna flood the city, and none of us picked up on it.
It was a spoiler hidden in a soundtrack. The song was his final riddle.
THAT is how brilliant this movie is.
Holy shit lol
That is a ridiculous reach
wow, the details are too good in this movie
He just wanted to be a fighter pilot, but when he realised he was colorblind, he became the Riddler.
Hahahahahahaha😂😂😂
You can tell that this is a film that was put together with pure passion for these characters. Matt Reeves is through and through a Batman fan. It comes off in every page of the script, and clearly every frame of the film.
Absolutely sucks to have to now wait sooooo long for the sequels! 😭
True, but at least the spin off shows will keep us busy of course. Same goes for the upcoming show "The Caped Crusader".
It's better to wait long for The Batman sequel that way we can get another great experience just like this one
It really does, but at the same time if it gets us another masterpiece like this? I’ll accept the wait. Not gladly, per se, but understandingly.
i can’t believe we’re gonna get part 2 and superman in the same year. i hope that superman movie is good🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
yoo when's the release? i was just thinking they better have a second movie@@Wolfhunter5607
19:25 seeing Batman smiling with that batsuit is something else 🥹
I love seeing footage of Matt actually directing. We don't see and hear directors actually directing in the moment very often and of all the movies, seeing him directing these amazing actors playing these amazing characters is always such a cool thing to see
I love it when movies go into this much detail to show us the behind the scenes and the process. It reminds me very much of the star wars prequels
I love that he’s soooo agile and can do full movements, that’s the thing that took me out of the fights with bales Batman, he could barely move.
That's a good point but am a nerd so I always thought that his movement was caused by his injuries and years of brutal training. That's the weird thing about film man, it's all interpretation and personal experience. What made you disconnect from the film, somehow made me connect more with it more haha
@@GoofyGoober690 I always love talking with people like you because my perspective was completely opposite. That’s cool 😅
And I think like that too but the earlier films had so many fast cuts and you barely see any of the actual action. But on that same ticket I’m a humongous fan of John wick, So I was very excited to see that style of Batman fighting you know 🤷🏽♂️
@@GoofyGoober690 lol when I was a kid I just thought it was because he was hitting really really hard 😂
facts but that’s not bales fault they had the choreography like that. also i still can’t believe he was only batman for a year or 2 in the dark knight trilogy out of 10 years
Rest in Piece Kevin Conroy 🕊️. You made me fall in the love with the character of the Batman when I first played the Arkham Games. Ever since then I have been obsessed with the character and for that I forever respect you. Fly high Kevin.
I'm really glad to see that Matt took the Detective Story approach which was missing in the previous films and I don't think any grounded villain has ever terrified me more than Paul Dano's Riddler.
It almost feels like a live action Animated Series Batman. This franchise is in great hands.
The Penguin spinoff further solidifies this.
This movie felt like you just started a video game. Like you have to start from this and eventually grow into a ridiculously strong character. I hope this character gets more than a trilogy, I hope it’s in DC. I hope it’s done right. Matt Reeves needs to be there at all times.
I only recently started on the Arkham series and it hit me how much this movie's fight scenes feel exactly like the combat in those games
I have been obsessed with Batman and the world of Gotham City since I was 6yrs old and my dad took me to see Batman '89
I'd never been more excited and confident of another Batman film (any film really) than with this; and that all started before one frame of a trailer was shown. Hearing the vision, along with the amazingly talented crew made me beyond excited. Then the trailer came and everything I had imagined and hoped for was unfolding with just a small percentage of the film being teased. Can't wait to see what's next🦇♥️
sammmmmme lol. not obsessed though but i was there in eighty nine and ive been a big fan even before that lol. im 43 and about to watch lego batman which surprisingly, is incredible
I've was more intrigued by batman growing up but I really fell in love with the character through a re-watch of animated series, brief moments he would appear in young justice, the brave and the bold and the batman animated show. He also embodies everything I love and is a character I always come back to. He's my end all be all.
I love how passionate Matt Reeves is about this whole film. This was his vision!
When the Behind the Scenes of a Movie is just as good as the Movie itself, you know it was done right. You're a gem for uploading this. Thank you!
I haven’t seen a more compelling, and engrossing and captivating movie than this picture in a very very long time, honestly I enjoyed it so much, I could watch it over and over and not get sick of it, for me, Goat of all Movies period. Believable and the cast and crew crafted a seminal masterpiece in our relationship with the Batman and Gotham. Sublime and spot on ❤
Best kind of Comic book movies IMO are ones that aren't necessarily comic book movies. For example, The Dark Knight, A crime thriller with Batman & the Joker in it. The Batman, a noir Detective film Batman in it. Logan, a western with Wolverine. All the best just focus on being good movies, with the exception here or there
So spot on. The grittiness of this and the raw violence was amazing. Well done. That is Batman. No doubt.
Best Batman movie ever made!
Second to BvS ultimate edition imo

This movie means so much to me. It's a reflection of the place I grew up in and the issues it faces. It is also a movie I can watch time and time again because of its narrative prowess and its beauty. You can tell the people behind this movie love and respect the characters.
38:24 Imagine seeing that guy in the actual movie, all the amount of theories going around
This movie faced a lot of hardships during Pandemic year and it was better than many movies under normal conditions
I loved Batman since I was a kid. In my 40's. Is it possible to be addicted to a movie? Still can't stop thinking about it. Great movie making is still alive. Seen it 4 times. Everyone did an amazing job. Robert, the little intricacies of your Batman say so much. It makes sense now that you all took how Batman would walk into a crime scene seriously, and was D@mn well executed. Left me wanting more. Please don't stray from this formula. The comments on these videos from my fellow Batman lovers is proof.
Thanks for posting this, movie is a tad expensive on blu ray and digital, so i appreciate this. Its free on HBO MAX, and Im glad it is, I love this BTS, it feels like an old school behind the scenes actually seeing shots get filmed, building the sets, etc. Its not just actors sitting in a chair.
In the era where there are already plenty of short edited videos, we need more of long duration movies. The Batman is perfect, three hours spent well, immersed into the world of Batman. 👏🏻
Lmao no we don't. 3 hours for a movie is ridiculous and just shows how poor of a director Matt Reeves is. It shouldn't take 3 hours to tell a story.
@@levelupprotocol short span focus , huh??
@@spunkymaniac9312 well it’s called focus span first of all lol so I guess that shows me the intelligence level of who I’m talking to. 🤡
@@levelupprotocolYou realize most great movies out there are at least 2 and a half to 3 hours long right? Runtime does not determine the quality of a movie. It's the writing and the direction that counts. Most people here would prefer a great 3 hour batman movie than a trash 2 hour batman and robin movie.
@@ethankleinman1067 false. It’s bad writing.
FINALLY, a movie made by people who actually care and put in their all. I wanna hug all of them for creating such a masterpiece. The best Batman movie to date. Thank you Matt reeves and Robert Pattinson and everyone else who was involved.
18:22 Finally some confirmation. Now I can rest easy. I am surprised they even mentioned this.
Soon 40 years of life i am.
Movie freak and Batman fan since i was very young.
This is the greatest movie i ever i saw.
Movie perfection.
A true masterpiece with an amazing soundtrack!
I can't explain how much I thought this was gona flop when I heard Robert Patterson was gona be batman and was shocked how much he reminded me of the comics and he absolutely smashed it
This is what happens when you don't watch more movies.
You can really see how much the actors, crew and Matt enjoyed working on this movie. They really did their research here and I can't wait to see what they do with the sequel
The shot at 17:28 is BEAUTIFUL!
here before it blows up maybe idk lol just love this movie.
Wow, Im blown away. Amazing work, congratulations to the cast & crew for working on this outstanding project.
What a great production from the start to finish you can feel how they passionate about their works love how they used the background the practical effects, the script all of it, is so good to see. Matt reeves really executed his own version of the batman movie its really ground breaking. Great one hour of this bts production!!💯👌💞
I love comic books, I love superheroes from all companies but it's Batman who time after time rises to the top. From the age of three I became obsessed with the character and never wanted to be anything else but Batman. I always wear my batman costume for parties and cons and sometimes just to feel strong. I remember being 6 or 7 and my uncle rather spitfully told me I couldn't be batman because he wasn't real and I sat silently with tears in my eyes and I heard my dad's voice over my shoulder and he said "yes, you can be batman.."
"you can stand for everything batman stands for and that is more real than anything in this world." so I live by those words and if you read this small insignificant comment I want you to know that you can too.
Don't give up on yourself or the people in your life, you can be a force for good for every other human being on this planet, that's what makes real heroes. And if something is wrong and it comes to push you down. Don't ever think you can't push back, because you can. Most people in the world today would encourage you to be selfish, not think of others don't be a hero. But if you are still reading this you know how wrong that is deep down. I'm telling you to be a hero, separate yourself from the chains of ignorance and the next time you find yourself watching something awful happen weather it's elderly woman falling on the street or you see someone getting hurt by others. Do whatever you can to help even if it's a small thing it could end up saving a life. 🦇
I can watch this all day
the black eyemakeup was one of my favorite things in this
i'm just glad that they finally addressed the fact he is wearing eye makeup, instead of ignoring the fact. in every other Batman film, the makeup magically disappears when he takes the cowl off.
Matt reeves is a masterpiece creator.
matt reeves is a masterpice??? are u kidding me right now!
Mastergarbage
@@samuelarriaza1283 yet he hasn’t made a single bad film. Awful take
Facts, he really understands these iconic characters & I can't wait for more in the future. Matt Reeves created an amazing Batman film👌
Spectacular film. This was early days Batman and very well done. Hope Matt does more
It would be cool if they started this trilogy with him saying "I'm vengeance" and then because the riddler uses that against him in the end fight, then in the 2nd film he says "I'm the knight" people start calling him the dark knight, and then in the 3rd he finally says "I'm Batman" and then roll credits
this movie means the world to me
Same. I hope James Gunn will also go for the same theme for the DCU Batman like Matt Reeves with his version of Batman, where they did a classic noir detective story & how it felt like everything literally came to life from the detective comics.
The best part of the movie was when the bad guy comes and Batman is like, "YOU GET OUTTA HERE!", and he means it.
Seriously, I never thought I'd say it, but this is the best batman film today. The Dark Knight was a masterpiece, but I felt like that was a Joker Film more than a Batman film the way the Heath stole the show. This was the best Batman film.
This is the only Batman movie I've seen that really captures that feel and mood of the best stories like Hush, Long Halloween, Year One etc. It's clear they put so much love and consideration into making that happen.
The classic bridge over the street I feel is one of the most important pieces for this movie it’s seen in almost every Batman and I always remember it
"The Volume" facility is the business! What a brilliant movie making advancement.
Movie of the year it feels so diffrent than most superhero movies its such a good change superhero movies caan be so much more than just good guy vs bad guy
Watched the film six times so far in my view it's probably the best film of the last ten years. Repeatability is what I judge a film on to become a masterpiece and stand the test of time. This film as that potential!!!... Hope to see the 4hrs cut someday
I must say, that I really appreciate this great movie.
I love it when fans of the characters get to work on an adaptation of that character. DC should continue doing it this way.
A masterpiece on all fronts. Lost count how many times I've watched it. Even if it wasn't a batman film it would work.
It just felt so authentic and raw. I loved this movie
batman is my favorite superhero and i legit love most of the films they've made about the character. just keep that in mind when i say that this legit the best live action batman movie ever made. reeves, pattinson, and the entire crew just get batman better than any live action film the character has ever had. well done guys. well done.
The batman is one of the best modern movies due to how faithful, innovative and still properly made. Most superhero movies are purely copy paste in everything. This is a unique film.
By looks Matt Reeves himself could be a great Commissioner Gordon actually
What really blows my mind when watching this movie is the artistry and passion they put into it. The movie is full of it, you can see it on every angle and shot they made. Bravo!
Love this movie
People saying this movie was too long. But I watched it about 15 times by now
easily my favorite batman film of all time. and it's not even particularly close
No....
Tdk is leagues better
@@lordsnow8438 that's just your asinine opinion. And much like yourself, it doesn't matter in the slightest. The vast majority of both audiences and critics absolutely loved this film. Because it's incredible. If you like the plot-hole ridden garbage that was the dark knight trilogy better than more power to ya. But that's all it is. YOUR opinion, and nothing more. You see film is art. And art is ENTIRELY subjective. Therefore there is no objective standards of "better" or "worse".... only what people LIKE, what people THINK, is better or worse. You think the absolute cringe-fest of the dark knight is better, with it's ridiculous growling bat voice and a Batman who is weaker than a 12 year old girl, and I think the absolutely perfect The Batman is better. Can't believe I had to explain to a presumably grown person how art and opinions work, but it is what it is.
@@CancelHappiness lol dude tdk is the greatest superhero movie ever
@@davidmutchler2403 that's nothing more than your asinine opinion. Art is ENTIRELY subjective, guy. Your opinions aren't fact. There is no"best" in a subjective medium. Just personal preferences. And for me, the Batman is a masterpiece and the perfect Batman film and the dark knight trilogy is plot-hole ridden garbage, with atrocious shaky cam jump cut bullshit "action" scenes, a insanely cringe, laughable growling bat voice, and a Batman who is weaker than a 12 year old girl. Hey if you like that trash, then more power to ya. But don't come around stating your personal opinion as though it's fact. It isn't. you do not speak for everyone, especially life long Batman fans who wanted an actual faithful adaptation for the first time on the big screen.
Seeing the eye make up when he took off the cowl is what sold me right away on this movie. I was so happy to see someone finally acknowledge that. And then the movie ended up being one of my favorite interpretations of Batman and Gotham. Diving into the mental struggle Bruce has in the beginning and the growth of him finding the best way to be Batman. For both himself and Gotham
Matt Reeve just become one of my favorite director. I’m soo happy to have him directing this movie
38:24 I love the little Superman cameo here.
Absolute fucking masterclass of a film. I'm on board for as many of these as you guys can make! I grew up with the original...I don't now if it will ever be beat but this is up there with the original and for me, that's incredible. The Nolan movies were special but this was something different. I've seen the Nolan movies once each. I've watched this film 4x now and will watch it again and again moving forward.
Please give me more!
WOW, the amount of work and skill to pull this off is astonishing. Kudos to all involved in this movie
this movie was an absolute piece of art🔥
already watched it 2 times and now I want to watch it one more time , Classic 🖤
