DC's latest film, The Batman, was an absolute rollercoaster, showcasing the best of what Batman as a character can be. With its many positives, I wanted to hone in on one I found to be rather interesting.. Batman's perception as a vigilante and what that means to the people of Gotham. Is Batman justice? Is Batman vengeance? What is the Batman?

It comes out on my Birthday 🎆
@@nerd_1356 HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY
@@Browntable thank you so much I really appreciate it :)
That's my birthday
I thought that the kid bruce looks at was going to robin and the recon his origin
The most underrated part of the movie is the sound design. The ominous menacing walk of Batman coming out of shadows, the engine of Batmobile roaring in the middle of street is just work of art.
RIGHT??? it was incredible. if it doesnt win the oscar for sound design im gonna be shocked
Who underrate that? 😂 everybody love the sound design of this movie
The Batmobile's engine was music to my ears.
Unpopular option, it lost my interest. Also the constant whisper voice every had lost me as I don't really give a fuck to listen that hard if you whisper.....you might as well title it Twilight Breaking Dawn pt 3
@@wholethedogsout880 but the movie has to compete against dune.
The Batman feels like a love letter to the character and it's beautiful, hope DC sticks to doing director-driven movies like this
It’s the opposite of Man of Steel
This is a love letter to Batman and was made by a genuine fan
Even beyond the comics you can see all the previous movies influence and can see the influence from the different animated series and games
Man of Steel was made by someone who didn’t like who Superman and Clark Kent and didn’t want to acknowledge what came before
@@JOVONO Actually, Man of Steel was made by multiples persons.
@@JOVONO Oh please , did you not see the part where Superman risked his live saving the world by the end of MOS after he destroyed the World Engine or him sacrificing his live after defeating Doomsday in BvS which inspired Batman to change his dark ways and form the Justice League to honor him. It's been nearly 9 years since MOS was released and people like you still say the same stupid shit that oh Snyder doesn't understand Superman when in fact he does.
Dc gives banger after banger first snyder cut second TSS and now the batman
This movie wasn’t perfect. But, looking at its success-it could bring back director-driven movies. Designed-by-committee movies mode movies boring.
This version of Batman isn't interested in putting on the billionaire playboy persona yet. His only focus is being Batman. That's why even in the funeral scene he doesn't say much and barely responds to anyone because he's a man on a mission. But it'll be cool to see him evolve into a more traditional Batman that manages the public image of Bruce Wayne.
More importantly, I hope he evolves into the philanthropist Bruce Wayne the one who helps the city with his wealth and starts charities because that's the REAL Bruce Wayne, the playboy is cool but is just an extravagant act to throw off suspicions he's Batman.
@@themadtitan7603 yes
I completely am ok with Bruce not being in the public eye yet and not putting on the playboy persona because he is laser focused on being batman, but the fact that he doesn't act like a normal person in this movie and treats Alfred the way he does, it doesn't feel like Bruce Wayne to me when he continues to talk like batman out of the suit and is so disrespectful to Alfred like he see's him as less than family
@@bbad813 there was one moment where he told him he wasnt his father, besides that he didn't treat alfred like shit. they're just disconnected for obvious reasons. rewatch this video??
@@bbad813 because he is not Bruce Wayne. He is Batman. And Batman has not grown yet, it's maturing.
Batman is single handedly capable of attracting any crowd, anytime, anywhere. Probably the greatest comicbook character/icon in the past 100 years
Spider-man?
Just you wait for a good Superman movie
@@TheKizly 😭sadly Warner seems to not want that😭
Unless you’re Ben Shapiro
Spider-man is better
Those last few minutes of the movie where he saved every one from the snipers and then stayed behind to help the victims of the flood were everything I wanted from a batman movie. That one scene where he helps the woman into the stretcher just puts a huge goofy smile on my face every time I think about it.
Yea that’s my favorite scene, such a hopeful scene
The starting scene when Batman keeps staring at the kid and nirvana’s song plays in the background.. that look and Rob’s teary eyes go so perfect with the feel of that scene
We can clearly see that Bruce absolutely understands that kid’s sorrow..
Robert Pattinson is perfect, he literally played with the eyes in this movie.
When he reached out his hand to the mayor and the other people in the flood, and you can see their distrust of him until the mayor's kid reaches for it is so IMPACTFUL.
ngl i thought that was hilarious. like too on the nose and edgy and soap opera-like. the scene was so long i was like"i get it movie, i know what u wanna tell me its freaking obvious, move on". and than nirvana.... that was the cherry on top. its like someone behind me telling me:" that was deeeeeep bro"
In the wake of all the DCEU movies getting delayed yet again I’m just glad this masterpiece was able to be released
They're getting delayed bc the VFX houses are all swamped.
Agreed, more time for this beautiful piece of art to remain in the spotlight.
Shazam was actually pushed ahead
@@barry2349 That's bc it has simpler/less vfx shots.
I remember seeing a quote once that said "Using superman to tell a batman story usually doesn't work, but using batman to tell a superman story usually leads to some of the best batman stories." And this movie made me really understand that. A superman movie about vengeance and fear would feel wrong. But a batman movie about him needing to be the hope for the city and inspire people to become more ended up being amazing
The Batman literally gave me the most definitive live action version of Batman on screen. They really captured the character's spirit and his morale to a tee. I can't wait to see what Reeves has store for us next
That moment where Batman relaxes the girl as she was being pulled up in the helicopter is top tier Batman moments ever made
The Batman is a masterpiece.
I'd rather have that franchise over the the entire DCEU.
And the mcu
Since they are doing a trilogy I hope they follow the iconic sentences of "I am Vengeance" (The Batman), "I am the night" (The Batman 2?), And "I am Batman"(The third Batman). To represent the themes of each film, in any way they serve to the story such as this film, what vengeance does to a city like Gotham.
That’s actually a great idea, love it!
Would that mean in "I am the night" is the Batman is becoming Bruce Wayne again?
And in the "I am Batman" he becomes the Batman fully?
I feel this movie was already about Bruce being 2/3 of these sentences but not the 3rd and most important one until the end *"I am Batman".* Vengeance on the criminals who took away his parents, the Night explains his stealthy and fear-inducing tactics which is why he says I'm the Shadows but not Batman, which is the symbol that represents all these, plus hope for the innocents and good of Gotham.
@@HafifSyukra I like this concept… ive been saying the second movie should be a story about the dichotomy of how Batman saves Gotham vs how Bruce saves Gotham. And I think a cool villian to challenge the bat would be hush. He would tackle both the billionaire and the vigilante at the same time. Bruce Wayne/day and Batman/night.
@@Eratic_bhavior That's been my idea for the sequel as well; after everything with Riddler and the revelations he learns about his parents, he realizes that he could help the city in more ways than one and that he could be better than his father so he starts charities and fundraisers and just as he builds up his public image, Hush who's altered his face to look like Wayne threats to ruin his reputation.
I love that this movie really tackles the issue of what it means to be Batman, for that Bat-signal to not be a warning to criminals, but a symbol of hope for the people of Gotham.
It doesn’t come up enough in Batman media, what makes Batman the superhero we all know and love is that he’s just a man. There’s only so many criminals he can beat up and he can’t possibly whack them faster than they pop up. But there is no limit to how many people one man can inspire. The Nolan films dealt with this, but they didn’t delve into the angrier side of Batman, the one that has yet to really learn this lesson. In Batman Begins, people love Batman, in this movie, everyone is scared of him, even the man he saves from a street gang at the start of the movie. And then at the end, he risks his life to go down to the people below and literally lead them out of the dark and into the light. His violence birthed the Riddler, so he has to change, he has to be different.
That's what I love about this movie. Batman realizing that his vengeance against criminals is only sending the wrong message to people like the Riddler and he has to change his ways.
I'm surprised they actually incorporated Bruce's narration all Year One/Long Halloween-style, but I'm really happy they did. It's an aspect of the comics I wanted to see interpreted in live-action for a long time
This movie is a love letter to all batman fans by director Matt Reeves. Robert is my new fav batman. The way Robert spoke with his eyes was just brilliant. Score and cinematography was just next level. As a life long batman fan this movie was all I needed. It was most beautiful theatre experience of my life..
Honestly, Paul Dano as the Riddler looks like he came straight out of a found footage horror movie and it's awesome. What's even interesting about his portrayal of the Riddler is, according to Paul Dano, that he is based on the Zodiac Killer.
Riddler's livestream video recordings that Gotham City News had shown to the public is disturbing that it reminds me of that scene from _The Dark Knight_ where The Joker screamed "LOOK AT ME!" to his victim.
I don't read comics, but I'm pretty sure that the Riddler isn't supposed to be this creepy, psychotic and brutal. Cmiiw.
But hey, still a great performance. And a great "ripoff" from Se7en and Saw movies.
And how they did that in PG-13?
Not complaining, still great and wonderful. I'm happy it's here.
@@HafifSyukra it’s not a ripoff, it pays homage and takes inspiration.
Something like Joker is a ripoff but this movie is not
@@HafifSyukra Riddler still stays true to the core of comic-book version; his obsession with Batman, narcissisicm and humor are all still retrained even if the details are changed.
You hear it a lot about other villains but Paul Dano's Riddler felt irrely close to home to the point of being utterly disturbing whether it was his video records or his random bursts of anger. His performance was viscerally treffic
I also appreciated how he retained the core elements of the comic version like his humor and obsession with Batman so it was still accurate.
@@themadtitan7603 not really at all other than some of the burst of anger this riddler acts nothing like the character, this riddler isn't obsessed with besting batman, he doesn't mock him the way Riddler does in the comics like calling him something like a brainless monkey for example, and he doesn't throw fits like a man child when batman solves his riddles, I don't like that Riddler is obsessed with batman in a way of wanting to be like him and be like a vigilante type and i don't like how this Riddler is less of a man child who makes you want to beat him because of how much of a prick he is instead this Riddler acts like an actual child who is just cringe and for some reason an incel live streamer, I honestly think this portrayal of the character is criminal and things like the Arkham series and Batman TAS have done way better, Riddler is easily the worst part of this movie💯
The Batman delivers the gritty noir style crime thriller I've always wanted to see in a Batman movie. It's a true detective story that explores the corruption of Gotham in much deeper way than we've ever seen on the big which extremely impressive following Nolan's trilogy. Of course all the performances are top notch and Robert Pattinson KILLED it as Batman! I think he succeeded in silencing many of the ignorant idiots and naysayers that were bringing up Twilight who clearly hadn't seen any of his work outside of that franchise.
People complain about there being too many Batman movies without thinking of how those cinematic interpetations differentiate from each other. Matt Reeves managed to create a new take on Batman that we've never seen on the big screen before while making it seem very familiar to fans of the character. It's a masterpiece alongside The Dark Knight imo.
@@RequiemOvoid1314 it's got 2 glaring issues that keep it from being a masterpiece in my eyes but otherwise I completely agree with you.
@@daddylonglegs8712 do you mind if I ask what those issues for you were?
@@daddylonglegs8712 I personally think a masterpiece is an outstandingly crafted and realized vision, not a perfect product like the term has come to mean online. Also I'm curious, what are those 2 glaring issues?
@@RequiemOvoid1314 I'm glad we've gotten so many Batman movies to have reached this one, because this is the perfect movie potrayal of the character we've ever gotten and it's not even close.
This is the movie Batman I've been waiting for my entire life. Definitely the smartest of the Batmen. I actually felt like I was playing the Arkham games and solving Riddles (not Arkham Knight, though. I just about had a conniption when one of the solutions was "DRIVE", and I thought Riddler wanted Batman to use the Batmobile). But, anyway, that moment Batman realizes "oooooooh, man. I've been doing it wrong" and actually becomes a symbol of hope in the daytime? *chef's kiss*
The Batman is a literal masterpiece. It's surreal this film exists. The camera, writing, producing by Matt Reeves, the cinematography by Greig Fraser, the editing, the score by Michael Giacchino and Nirvana's Something In The Way just fits it all in the film. It's supposed to be dark and realistic with Gotham City that it shows all that. It also reminded me of Watchmen in the beginning with the world it has become in the present day than going back to where it all began. Everyone did just phenomenal. The runtime was perfect. Everything is what a Batman film should be. A Detective Noir story. Robert Pattinson is my new favorite Batman. 10/10. It should even be studied in film school.
I was utterly enchanted by that opening alone; the score, brooding narration playing over perfect gothic Gotham rendition, it all felt ripped right out a Frank Miller graphic novel, like you said it was surreal that I was seeing Batman film like this. It's easily the best opening in a Batman film, and the first time I truly felt that fear Batman induces in crminals.
@@themadtitan7603 This Batman actually felt really menacing, like the one in the Batman Arkham games. And they felt menacing without killing people, which is saying a lot
the writing is dumb lmfao
@@scylla4342 yeah it's good but not really film school material. There are only 2 comic book films for such honor in my opinion and they are THE DARK KNIGHT and INTO THE SPIDERVERSE.
@7:25 echoes my exact thoughts on this movie. In contrast to the Snyderverse, this is a Batman that I can actually picture being in the Justice League because it understands & shows that Batman at the core is supposed to be a hero. Finally defeating the villains is all well and good but Patman’s priority shifting to making the citizens feel safe & being trusted & inspired by him in spite of Gotham’s treacheries is what should make him different from any generic ruthless vigilante. Like you mentioned, ending on scenes where Batman is saving people in small ways and not just the bombastic final punch to the villains is a stroke of absolute genius on the part of Reeves. Those scenes are so poignant & sincere & are proper coda to films like this where so often too many people come away missing the critical part of these superhero stories where empathy, humility, self-sacrifice, duty & kindness are valued; instead only salivate at just the violence. Genuinely the more I dwell on this film the more & more it rises in the ranks of not just my favorite Batman movies but favorite superhero movies in general.
Reaaaly loved the parallels of Riddler idolizing Batman and Bruce idolizing his father, especially the differences in how they reacted when they had to face the reality.
@@themadtitan7603 You gotta re-read the comment Thanos
@@pourmydrank Right, I see that now.
How they reacted to the truth of their idols and what they choose to do with the information highlights the differences between them clearly imo.
Thanks for pointing that out! Great movie, you can discover more more the more often you revisit it and take other people's perceptions of it into account.
Another thing about this film's treatment of Batman and Bruce Wayne is while this film shows *why* the Batman is necessary, it also makes an even greater case for why Bruce Wayne is necessary, not just as a person in Batman's life, but as a force for good in Gotham City. Much of what happens in this film is precisely because Batman refuses to be Bruce Wayne.
This movie feels like the best BATMAN movie I think The Dark Knight is a slightly better film but this is a better film about The Batman :)
Sounds like a cope since it can't compete against TDK as a movie.
@@nelisezpasce Subjectively, I'd rather watch The Batman again than TDK, I find it a much better representation of the characters. Never felt like Bale hit the mark for Batman.
Did like Ledger's Joker, he certainly made the film to me, but the conflict between Batman and Joker never felt as heavy as it should be.
Gary Oldman is still my favorite Gordon, though Jeffrey Wright is definitely growing on me.
@@DrWolfensteinz That's what I'm saying, Mr. Vengeance is made for the diehard comic book enthusiasts. They have been blessed with a faithful adaptation and I'm glad for them. But I personally would only be interested in a decent flick that stands on its own, and after the typical "honeymoon period" has passed more and more flaws are being acknowledged by its fans. Too many illogical choices, oversights, and studio interference offsetting the good or even great elements. By that point one of the few factual compliments left is that it's "more comic accurate". Again, that doesn't mean much to some people, but will keep others content.
The part where he carries the woman out of the tunnel to the stretcher and holds her hand was beautiful. Batman can now give both hope and fear. Giving hope to the people that he's there for them and to protect them while also striking fear into the hearts of criminals.
Every frame of this movie is art. I've seen it a few times, and every time I'm more and more convinced it's not even a contest how much this is the best Batman movie. It's nearly flawless. The mystery is overwhelming at first, to the point of being white noise at times, and revelations can fall flat when you don't realize how personal they are to the characters; but once you know where Riddler is taking Batman, you can see how each riddle primes him for the psychological gut punch he delivers in the asylum scene. After that, the mystery is a fun ride through Batman's psyche and a compelling exploration of his self-image. Batman's reaction to the blow Riddler's mind games dealt him is just awesome to watch and inspiring.
Best Batman movie hands down…
Just imagine if the new Spider-Man trilogy was treated with this level of passion and attention to filmmaking, cinematography and world building. So so good
Let's hope so!
Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine are some of my favourite male comic-book superheroes with mainstream appeal.
They all deserve good movies.
Well, "Batman Returns" (1992), "Batman Begins" (2005), "The Batman" (2022), "Spider-Man" (2002), "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (2018), "Logan: The Wolverine" all delivered.
But I want more.
"V For Vendetta" (2005), "Watchmen" (2009), "Chronicle" (2012), "Joker" (2019), "The Batman" (2023) paved the way for an increasingly more psychological take on larger-than-life comic-book characters brought to the big screen.
There is much more to explore further down that line...
On the other hand, films like "The Mask" (1994), "Deadpool" (2016), "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (2018), "Shazam!" (2019), "Birds of Prey" (2020) have proven that there is more than just one way to pair a more comedic/humorous take on superheroes/villains with creative originality and consistency of tone.
I would LOVE to see a really good Lobo (DC) adaption come into fruition, one that's both, cinematically great as well as true to the protagonist, style and tonality of the character's comic origins.
With Margot Robbie having acquired the movie rights to "Tank Girl", there might be yet more comedic comic character greatness awaiting us cineasts.
Let's hope so.
It's extremely hard to beat Nolan's touch at directing movies, he is one of the best movie directors ever. But Matt Reeves did one of the most real takes on Batman, so stylized, but at the same time so raw that it's shocking. This is the ultimate bare-bones Batman, a dark, subtle detective.
Idgaf what anyone says, this is the best Batman movie to ever exist
One thing I always appreciate about Browntable/Mauricio’s videos is how focused they are. Many videos today wish to say all they have on a topic, and thats good many times, but yo boi speaks about something with a clear idea, goal behind it
I can say it with my chest filled with joy. This is my Batman 💕
This movie was badass
The musical cues are so fantastic. It just comes at the perfect time and is used so well. That first narration with Batman. MAN I could listen to that everyday. The score and HIS VOICE, is amazing. Also the last scene with cat woman and bats, the music is so sentimental for me. Kindred spirits with opposite backgrounds going their separate ways even though they want to be together.
This movie is peak Batman. The ending is so good. 3 hours of runtime and it never made me look away. A perfect Batman film.
When Alfred tells Bruce about his parent's death felt more like a bullet shot than any Batman film would portray about Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Andy Serkis delivers it well to be honest.
I love the way the film deals with the repercussions of Bruce's line.. Great video!
LETS GO BABYYYYYYY
I know some people think the 3rd act is weak but the flare scene alone made the entire movie for me.
I do not understand why people think the third act was weak. Literally my favorite part of the movie. My heart was in my throat for the whole time. I haven't felt that stressed during the climax of a superhero movie in ages. So much is done in computers these days that it does so much when we see the protagonist actually get hurt a bit.
I’ve always wanted a moment similar to Batman comforting Ace in the JL show, it’s my favorite Batman moment, comforting a tortured soul and being the only source of light in her dark world.
I smiled when we got that toward the end
I like how the biggest message is how Batman learns that he can be manage to be a good influence while still being a figure that scares criminals.
It was so incredible. The cumulative total of... the Batman!
"A vigilante it's just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed or locked up."
"As a man i'm flesh and blood i can be ignored, i can be destroyed. But as a symbol. As a symbol i can be incorruptible, i can be everlasting".
These two quotes in Batman Begins are EXACTLY what Bruce/Batman's character arc is all about what Matt Reeves did in The Batman.
I love the talk he has with Ras at the lake. When Ras brings up vengeance, Bruce immediately says "That's no help to me." Even before he becomes Batman, Bruce knows what he stands for. For the new bat, it takes time, mistakes, and true change to turn him into a hero.
LETS GO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Love this movie so much. Keep up the great work ❤️ this channel is the best!
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
I'm hoping they're planning to incorporate the "I am vengeance..." line throughout the trilogy.
"I am vengeance" is said in the beginning of the first movie.
Then in the second movie he'll say "I am the night", probably near the middle of the film.
And at the end of the third movie is when he'll finally say the iconic "I am Batman".
This movie deserves every praise it gets
I loved that the movie is quite hopeful and uplifting despite also showing how bad gotham can be.
Too often I feel people write batman as a bitter cynic or violent madman and I love seeing a hopeful version
The last scenes of Batman saving the people (the people he lead with the flare and the kid he waited with as they were taken away by helicopter) were great, I like how this Batman actually sticks around after the fighting stops and makes sure the people are ok.
Give this man some love for not only explaining why this movie slaps, and simultaneously proving BEN SHAPIRO wrong. My hero.
Yeah shapiros video was so bad. He should stick to speaking fast and destroying ignorant college kids, instead of analyzing media which takes a level of skill
Yup ive watched that review, and he is still bringing up those " Social Justice. " Bullshit in the movie, and
Trying to say that the movie is kinda racist becoz gordon and selena are good colored people, and riddler is an evil white male,
I never thought I'd feel sorry for this riddler but when he's saying how none of their followers is alone anymore in his last upload I was like damn.
I can't tell YET if this is my favorite Batman movie but the cast is definitely my favorite live-action iterations of the characters (esp Rob as Batman and Zoe as Catwoman) and I just love the arc that Bruce goes through in this movie. Seeing him realize that "Vengeance" shouldn't be who he is and finding his true calling during the 3rd act was so satisfying
EDIT: Not to mention the BANGER of a soundtrack, the cinematography, every frame looked like a piece of art, the general atmosphere of Gotham, and the amount of heart and emotion in the story. I've always loved the emotional aspect of the Nolan films and I'm SUPER happy this movie had that much if not more emotional depth. You really feel for Bruce and you understand how flawed he is as a person and how much more comfortable he felt being Batman
The speech on scars at the end of the film really affected me due to Self harm, it made me realise that i can get and will get better
i love this film so much
Damn this video describes Batman and Bruce both so perfectly… way to go man, this is the perfect description i have heard.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This film was amazing. The best Batman film to date. Rob Pattinson as Batman has such a prescence that the previous Batman's just did not possess. A for amazing and awesome. This film is pretty darn close to perfection. 😚😚
You can really tell that the directors and actors really UNDERSTOOD the character and I think that’s why we really love this movie. Batman has always been hope for Gotham, maybe it took a while for him to understand that but, when he did, it was so satisfying for me and I’m sure many others. Really, this movie has got to be one of the best if not THE best Batman movie of all time. Simply incredible.
I hope dc makes a superman year one movie
As long as it's not another origin or trying too hard to be serious, I'd be down.
@@parkerboy795 do you think a superman earth one would work as a superman year one movie ?
@@ulyssesveracruz8343 Perhaps, but I think a seasoned Superman movie would work better.
@@parkerboy795 like which superman year one comic would you think would work as a superman year one movie ?
Not gonna lie, I was kinda waiting for this video. Your thoughts of how this version of Batman was interpreted was really nice to hear.
Banger movie and banger video🔥🔥 Everyone involved in this movie understanda Batman on such a deep level I cannot wait for them to fully realize and craft this world
Alot of big critics were kinda shitting on the ending, but i thought the ending was great. İ mean, i agree, the flood thing came out of nowhere, but once it sets in it really works. İt really ties the story together, particularly batman's narrative, but also works as a metaphor for a city already sinking.
This movie was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t enthusiastic about seeing another gritty, realistic Batman movie, but between the hopeful message and the cinematography itself reflecting that (among other things), I was very impressed.
Was it because you wanted a Batman that explored the more supernatural elements and villains like the BTAS or the Arkham games?
@@themadtitan7603 Part of that, yes. Though I think this movie is slightly heightened, so I wouldn't be surprised if we got someone like Mr. Freeze in the future.
@@GamerSlyRatchet1 That's what I was actually gonna reply to you with if you said yes. I think this universe is more like a toned down Arkham games where it's very gritty and grounded but also heightened enough to include supernatural and sci-fi villains like Clayface or Mr Freeze who Matt Reeves has actually expressed in using for the sequel.
Banger video dude !
to me this film is the most live-action detective batman we scene combined with the best of Arkham games moments and nolan batman film mixed in
The problem with the movie being "too dark" isn't really in terms of the tone but rather the visuals. Visually the movie is fantastic but there some moments where it's so dark that your eyes actually hurt. The runtime is also a problem, the movie didn't need to be 3 hours long. But hey the movie was still great and even though I didn't like it as much as I hoped, I'm absolutely looking forward to where this all leads.
This is the best batman movie yet
The Batman 🐐
Browntable video essay 🐐
Bro you never miss keep up the good work
This is the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. Riddler makes a 500 sub special that’s funnier than anything in Spider-Man Homecoming
love this so much!!!
I feel that "The Batman."
Is about people turning into their inner demons but overtime, they will understand their flaws and mistakes, transcending into being human.
I must admit, I got a bit teary-eyed at the part here (7:27). Batman to me has always been a character that represents hope for those struggling through hardship. If he was known for vengeance, it would undermine the point of his crusade. He suffers so that he can make a meaningful difference, but he is also flawed and makes mistakes like everyone else. By the end of the movie, we see a Batman who is resolute towards a better purpose; not to perpetuate a system of violence that created the very conditions that allowed him to be the Batman in the first place, but to extend a hand to those struggling in their darkest moments. 10/10 video.
I love this movie it’s really great
I love your review! Great job!
Batman is vengeance, but he's also empathy which is where so many iterations go wrong with him, (mostly the comics but sometimes in other media as well) Batman cares about the victims of the crimes, and in most arcs Batman losing that part of him is a bad thing and displayed as him going down a bad path, (BTAS/the DCAU being my favorite example of this)
This is one of the few Batman properties in a while that the brutality and cruelness of the character fits with the overall tone and dark setting of the story.
Instead of the atmosphere of the movie taking away or even contradicting Batman's entire direction, this film instead uses it to perfectly encapsulates what it means to be The Batman and what it symbolizes for Bruce far more than any film, movie, and tv show I've seen ever since The Dark Knight.
It's not just the writing too, the lighting, cinematography, soundtrack, and subversive mystery plot combined with a great character drama into Bruce Wayne's full descent into the angry Batman that hasn't done much to save Gotham from the rotting that has rooted itself into the very heart of the story.
Great job Robert Pattinson, and great job DC. The Batman is back.
Not only does the darkness, cruelty, and brutality fit, but it also helps to establish Bruce's character arc. Right from the start, it is abundantly clear that Bruce's lifestyle isn't healthy. He's pale and bruised, his eyes are bloodshot, and he barely eats or sleeps. Every day and night, he's haunted by his past because his actions in the present keep reminding him of it. And it doesn't just end with him. As the film says, kidnappings, robberies, and murders have all gone up in the time since his debut as Batman. So not only is he tormenting and destroying himself, but he may also be complicit in city-wide escalation of crime.
The wait for the sequel will be long but I'm gonna be hyped and eager to see it the whole time i wait.
That movie was awesome I loved it
The kind-hearted Batman is the Batman that we're looking for all this time
Nice analysis!
I hate how people complain that isn't fun. If you saw the trailers you know it was going to be dark
This is why DC should stop trying to conform, and just do their own thing. Hire directors that are passionate about the subject. Lean in to their roots. Revel in it.
The Batman is an example of that. A step in the right direction.
I thought this movie was surprisingly campy, but it somehow worked. There are humorous moments, like the thumb drive and other riddler moments, including the riddler basically acting like a live streamer. Look at Colin Farrell’s and Jeffrey Wright’s acting. In some scenes they just dial their acting way up, but it works as a sort of like a satire of classic noirs. Hell, even Batman’s silence in some scenes is played for mild comedy. There’s a certain level of camp there that gives the movie some extra charm and fun.
Banger video
I couldn’t put my finger on it, but your video helped me understand this movie better. Thank you.
This is a Batman who I could one day see holding a little girls hand on a swing
The Batman is goated with the sauce
*THE BATMAN IS LOVE*
*THE BATMAN IS LIFE*
DC now has my full trust, some of best superhero content 4 Times in a row, ITS BACK!!!!!!!!
The movie takes place in the night or before the night for a big chunk of it. Then at the end it ends in broad daylight where Batman gets to be a hero
Great video! Can't wait for IRC!
Severely underrated channel
I, and some friends of mine as well, were complaining about how none of the big-screen Batmen have always failed to showcase what we believed to be an essential aspect of the character: his kindness. It makes me so glad they finally got it right with this one and I will be seeing the sequel as soon as it comes out, hungry for more. Yes, the Ratatouille reference was intentional.
I really want to see Battinson interact with a Robin
Take care of another young boy who wants revenge for his dead parents, and also learning to be what he had stole from him
A Father
I want Robin so bad. I'm worried the studio executives at Warner Brothers won't let them use Robin in any movies because they are stuck in the mindset that Robin is "childish" and "Stupid" and "Unrealistic." But Batman NEEDS some type of sidekick in the field with him. The bat family makes Batman a more interesting character and we haven't seen him interact with a partner on screen in years. I have three thoughts for how they could give Batman a sidekick in the sequels.
1. Do Robin, but instead of the "classic" look with the domino mask have him wear a modified version of the "Red Robin" costume that Tim Drake wears. That already solves half the problem because it makes his costume look more practical intimidating.
2. Hold off on putting Dick Grayson in the field as Robin and just make a really good movie where Batman adopts Dick and has to learn to be a good father. Make it a father/son drama with the Batman stuff playing out in the background. At the end of the movie have Bruce finally realize that being a good father means letting his adopted son truly get to know him, and have him reveal the truth to Dick about being Batman. Then have Dick become Robin or Nightwing in a 3rd movie when he is 18 or older.
3. If the studio executives can't be convinced to do Robin in any way shape or form, then make Cassandra Cain Batman's partner. They are already doing a movie with Barbara so she is probably off the table for Matt Reeves. Cassandra has a great origin story, and you could have Batman adopt her and raise her, which you can't relaly do with Barbara since her dad is still alive. If you use Cassandra you can do the "Batman learns to be a father" story without Dick Grayson. Plus Cassandra's costume is AWESOME and it would be great to see in live action.
@@galactic85 My version would be
The suit would be something like the Dick Grayson Robin suit in Titans (The show is bad but i love that suit)
And have Robin in Batman 2 as a 13-14 Year old (Rob said that he wants a 13 year old Robin)
Have Batman 3 with 17-18 year old Robin were Batman and Robin KICK ASS like a machine and maybe have him go away in the end or at least end his job as Robin
Then have Nightwing as an epilogue to the trilogy ;)
Maybe have after Batman 2 a Robin Spin off or not, that could be good
Also something that I haven't seen people mention as much is how both Gordon and Selina call Bruce out on his lack of empathy for the victims of the crimes he wants to stop. He is so black and white in his morality that even people caught in the crossfire that didn't necessarily have any other choice like Annika, are somehow deserving of being gruesomely murdered. Saving people is more a byproduct of his work rather than a goal in itself, which contributes to his failure to improve things in the city. We've never seen a Batman that cares so little about the people he is supposed to be protecting and by the end he realises that he must protect everyone for his mission to succeed. The movie really is incredible in how it explores a lot of themes that are taken for granted regarding the character.
Batman can’t be hope. Hope is the S on Superman
