"He was the only one we didn't get" is a very revealing line. We're led to believe that Riddler figured out that Bruce Wayne was Batman, but that line reveals that he still thinks that Bruce and Batman are two separate people. "He's (Bruce) the only one we (Riddler and Batman) didn't get." Riddler has deluded himself into believing that he and Batman are working together toward a common goal of punishing Gotham's corrupt elites, and he is lamenting to Batman that the bomb that injured Alfred didn't kill Bruce. At the end, Batman realizes that he's been sending the wrong message with "I am vengeance." It's inspiring people to seek their own vengeance, but they lack Batman's sense of morality and refusal to kill. He knows that he has to be more than an embodiment of vengeance. He has to become a hopeful figure to the city.
I personally always stayed convinced he does know. There's too many signs pointing to him knowing ("I know who you really are", his M.O. for killing Bruce being completely different from the rest etc.). Why would he say that line then?

Just a note, the Batmobile didn’t stall. He revved the engine and accelerated a little bit to goad Cobblepot into a chase. Young Batman wants the chase. He wants to make the Penguin afraid. A older more experienced Batman wouldn’t instigate a chase that could lead to so much damage and risk to others, but young Batman is selfish. He wants his own satisfaction, regardless of the danger it puts others in. This Batman isn’t a hero…not until after his sacrificial baptism at the end of the film is he reborn as a hero.

That's one of my main criticisms of the Nolan films and Bales Batman. Everyone says he's THE Batman, but he's not. There's almost zero detective work in the Nolan films. The tiny bit is in TDK but even that is mostly done by Lucius Fox. Aside from that Bales Batman is always doing a cat and mouse chase, never ahead of the villains. And all 3 films end with him getting lucky. Also add that Batman famously DOESN'T TALK. Exactly what Pattinson's Bat does, he doesn't talk. Bale went on numerous monologues, explaining his motives to the villains, and chatting with everyone like friends.
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise Bale didn’t talk that much unless it was with another important character Also batman will totally do that with other characters of importance in the comic there are hundreds of panels of him talking a lot with Gordon and Super Man and Alfred
The vengeance thing was Batman realizing that he was inspiring the wrong kinds of people with the things he was doing and he had to inspire hope and be a hero instead. He unintentionally inspired the Riddler who inspired all those people on the internet. They saw Batman punishing people who deserved it

No, The Riddler didn't figure out Batman's identity - the scene was laid out in such a way that you (the audience) and Bruce _think_ he has, until it becomes clear that he's only talking about Bruce as 'the one we didn't get'... because he didn't predict that Bruce Wayne wouldn't be at home, because he doesn't know that Bruce Wayne is Batman. He never even considers that Bruce and Bats are one in the same, because in his mind Batman is 'like him', while Bruce is 'one of _them'._

@@undeadMonk "See you in hell" was the note addressed to Batman, so it's not a note for a Bruce he's planning to kill regardless of whether he knows. Alfred didn't see the note either. I'm also not saying he was targeting Alfred - seems kind of pointless and potentially harmful if he wants Batman to be his ally.
@@ethanlivemere1162He says I know who you really are, because he believes he knows what type of person he is. There are hints that me might know to set up the misdirect. At the end of the day his motivations line up with not knowing. He HATES Bruce, he gets angry just talking about him. Yet he idolises Batman and distraught they aren't on the same page.
@@ethanlivemere1162the whole film is from the riddlers perspective, with little jabs at Bruce/batmans morality (if you watch closely Batman/bruce does something manipulative or sociopathic to the people around him in every scene or the people flinch away or are traumatised by his appearances rather than feeling saved, while riddler imagery appears in any scene he’s not directly in…you can even see him in a reflection hiding beside the car in the thumb drive scene). He definitely knows who Bruce is, and he’s trying to show Bruce that vigilantism is wrong. I’m amazed no TH-camrs have picked up on this yet
"Batman can't be everywhere....but he can be *anywhere* "Your odds of running into him are low....but they're *not* zero." I have no idea what comic they're from, but some other kick-ass TH-camr mentioned them!!
What I really love about Gotham in this is that Matt Reeves used different cities and combined them into one, which is something I would do as well if I made a Batman movie
@@NecramoniumVideoYeah well it looks dated by now since new movies are mostly shot on location and in the 80's they use the soundstage too much. Like even back then I could tell how it was shot mostly in on a studio set.
@@hOtneOYou have a point about the sound stage but I am also convinced that it was a stylistic hommage to Expressionist films from the 20s, with bonkers architecture and a style which is very reminiscent of a theater stage. Or a puppet theater. So the artificiality ties together the style and the expressionism of the comic books.
@@hOtneO i mean gotham is suppose to look like a gothic victorian nightmare I prefer the comics and arkham knight where its a mix of new york from the 40s, victorian nightmarish London, and modern Chicago
When Alfred says he is remembering his days in the circus it's probably a good hint at where he learned the things he passed on to Bruce. The Circus is a nickname for MI6, basically the British CIA
@@tiagoamorim81 of course, it wouldn't work if it was completely obvious and given away to the viewer. but a smart viewer might piece it together. (I did not, I'm not claiming I'm smart)
@@TheJokerAkaCirque The first time i watched the movie I wasn't even able to notice that we can actually see Riddler looking out the apartment's window in one of the open shots of the Iceberg Lounge entrance, so I'm close to claiming I'm smart either... 🤣
The Riddler's design was based on a serial killer in San Francisco called "The Zodiac". David Fincher directed a movie about it starring Jake Gyllenhaal,Mark Ruffilo,and Robert Downey Jr.
gotta admit, as someone who was largely raised by my stepdad (no parent murder here, just divorce lmao), the "you needed a father, but all you had was me" scene got me BAWLING in the cinema, especially since my stepdad was sitting right next to me. this bruce and alfred nail the adoptive dad/adoptive son dynamic so perfectly in a way i can't quite explain, but it's so tangible, and so so important to me
Hot take: the first 20-25 minutes of this movie, from the killing of the mayor to Pattinson riding into the batcave, is the best intro to a superhero movie ever.
@@ChurchNietzsche Well I just say because we don't don't know where he'll end up after his own show. Erm lots of characters are in The Long Halloween, I don't remember anything particularly significant of Penguin in it? Why does that matter though?
@@ClintBandito Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson "Get a Trilogy (sales numbers permitting)" ... it's slated to cover material from "Year One - Long Halloween - Dark Victory."
Patterson actually surprised me with his portrayal. I was not expecting him to pull this off. And, can we get a Hell Yeah for that Batmobile sequence? Whooooo!!!!
Depends on the point in Batman's career. Here, yeah there's no hopeful meaning to it. But much later, once he's established and trusted by Gotham and Gordon has been able to really work on cleaning up the GCPD it gives the people hope
Don't get me wrong, I live the Dark Knight as much as the next person. But this is my favorite Batman movie. I love the visual storytelling with the audio mixing on his suit, car, etc. And the film just looks fantastic. The score is fantastic. Pattinson says so little, but it gets so much across. I could gush about this movie all day
This is the 1st time I’ve watched your channel. The Batman is easily my favourite Batman movie & I have to say your reaction was the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Definitely the most knowledgeable reactor I’ve seen.
The point of "I'm vengeance" is that Bruce was realizing what Batman had come to symbolize: terror and violence. Terror and violence inspires more terror and violence. It was touched on in The Dark Knight Trilogy, but this really brings it to the fore: if Batman is the terrifying vigilante who lurks in the night and violently dispatches criminals, all that inspires is people to use the same methods to go after whoever they blame for the problems. Bruce is shown he needs to make Batman stand for something more, to be a light in the dark, instead of just more darkness.
Reactions like this is why I like reaction channels, your passion for the movie and the appreciation for the character made rewatching the movie much more enjoyable! Subbed!!
Fun fact: the Riddler in this film was based on the Zodiac Killer Also Jeffrey Wright played Issac in The Last of Us part 2 and will play him again in the HBO series
@WhatKindOfNameNow in the Books, yes. In the Movie, he is -clearly- the Riddler. ... but traditionally, the "Early Villain" in Batman's career ... with the "Zodiac Mindset" ... ... is the lesser known "Calendar Man." 😉
This is the movie Se7en should have been. I watched it twice in the theater and never got tired of it. It gets Batman perfectly as a detective and not a superhero.
The Batman is a true Batman cinematic experience. I love Robert Pattinson's Batman. In my opinion he's the best live action Batman. He feels like a mix of DCAU Batman and Arkham Batman.
the movie's climax comes from the "batman" comics arc "zero year" from 2013-14. in it the riddler knocks out gotham's power and blows up its seawalls during a super-storm to flood gotham. the arc covers the start of batman's career where bruce spends a lot of time asking "who is batman? who is bruce wayne? what is gotham?"
I actually think it was a bad idea to put the Joker in this movie. It was unecessary. And the Joker is overdone. Batman has so many good villains - use them! Mad Hatter, Mr Freeze (a good one, not Arnold), Hugo Strange.... just pick them!
The intro is what did it for me. It's the first time they show us what Batman truly means in the eyes of a criminal. They put you in their shoes, fear of every dark alley (which is where criminals usually thrive) because there could be an angry guy dressed as a bat ready to beat you to a pulp with his bare hands. That scene is so powerful.
It's not a real thing. The nickname "The Circus" is just from the books written by Le Carre. The Circus was used as a mocking way to refer MI6/SIS by the director of a different intelligence agency based on the SOE in The Looking Glass Wars and was used again in the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy when Smiley became the head of MI6/SIS with the iconic quote "welcome back to the circus". It's referred as the Circus because in Le Carre's books, the hq of MI6/SIS is located at Cambridge Circus street. Though, a lot of other jargons from the books are used irl later on (i.e the cousins refering to the CIA, honey trap refering to a sexual blackmail operator, agent as a someone you turn to your cause etc etc). Le Carre was an intelligence officer during 50s and 60s for both SIS and MI5 but left the service when he was burned as a result of Philby's activities with USSR. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold was written when he was still an IO in Berlin for MI6/SIS.
this version of Batman leans way more into the detective aspect of the character. I know he did the finger prints on the bullet in the other film but that was the only thing he did, here he's much more detective like. The Dark knight is still my favorite version of Batman, but this was good. I'm going to watch the Penguin series, which Colin Farrell also plays. I'm sure it's fantastic.
It’s crazy to me how many people didn’t understand that the jolt from the Batmobile was Batman taunting Penguin to run. So many think it stalled or something.
Also btw he doesn’t know Batman is Bruce Wayne, the movie tries to trick you into thinking he does but he doesn’t and THE Batman part 2 is set to release in October 2026 there will also be a third film
That's all been canceled by James Gunn. Last I heard he decided he didn't want another Batman running while the DCU was being rebooted. Edit: NM, just looked around and found I'm wrong. I'd heard that 3 or 4 months ago.
@@thebkg yeah bud idk wtf u we’re talkin abt that word was never going around, James Gunn legit said in his opening for the new DCU that it would be running congruently with Matt Reeves The Batman franchise
I personally always stayed convinced he does know.

That’s kinda the folly of the Riddler that always works so well. Such a smart dude yet he can’t manage to figure out that the vigilante with billions of dollars worth of tech is secretly the billionaire
@@thebkgum... I'm not trying to be a guy like "ahaha u suck" Just um... Some other people might do that, but i just recommend it to delete your comment, but pls don't take it the wrong way aight?
This movie is highly underrated and I think he does an excellent job as Batman. I just feel like all the other Batman movies didn't show so much of his intellect as this one did. And everyone in this movie was also perfect for their roles!
Lol casual. The Nolan trilogy was trash for casuals who can't read and not even remotely comic accurate. The only good thing about the dark knight was Ledger.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 This was a combination of multiple comics Also this doesn’t even have Harvey Dent in it which is one of the main focuses of Long Halloween TDK does You haven’t made any solid reason for why TDK is so bad and this is more accurate when they are the same form of combining source materials.
‘The Batman Part II’ was meant to be released next year but got delayed for a whole year. So we have ‘The Penguin’ miniseries coming out on Max this fall (no official release date yet)
"Showing us how intelligent he is". That's what was missing from so many movies before. Batman is literally the world's greatest detective. And this movie finally shows that in the little details. Pattinson absolutely knocked this out of the park.
Great reaction and picking up the references! Happy that you mentioned The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, also you must read Riddler Year one, co-written by Paul Dano 🦇🦇🦇
The fact that Colin Farrell was Penguin still to this day blows my mind!! I LOVE that mans acting! He NAILED the role and wasn't even like himself! #StayAwesome EDIT: Can't WAIT until you check out the Burton Batman films! You will love them!
I would love to see a reaction to the Gotham series, it does such a good job referencing so many years of Batman with it's writing, and also the telltale batman games are great
The Batman is a worthy addition to the Batman library of content. I'd say that it's on par with Batman Begins in quality, and Robert "Battinson" defied expectations in the role. It's the live action film that captures the detective aspect of Batman's character the most. It's actually quite remarkable that Rocksteady added a "The Batman" skin to Arkham Knight 8 years after the game was released.
Hi, so I subscribed after watching you nerd out for the first 3 minutes haha. Great commentary! This is a very different Batman film than anything that was done before. Batman has always been in the action genre, this was more of a thriller, and I think some general audiences were thrown off by that. For me, this is perhaps more Batman than any of the other films. This leans into the detective side of the character, which is often glossed over. The other thing is that this is highly character-driven. This Selena Kyle is the greatest love interest Batman has had since Andrea Beaumont. The city of Gotham is also perfectly captured here, with the rain, the gothic architecture, and the general atmosphere. It all works together to create a truly unique texture. This was a fantastic movie, and I can't wait to see the 2nd one!
thank you so much for your channel ! i just want to watch every movie with you now 🙂 batman is my all time favorite super hero 🖤 and it's so refreshing to meet another true batman fan so many haters complain about every new batman iteration some even before the movie comes out or before they have seen it always unfairly comparing it to previous versions or the comic books its based on instead of just being grateful we get to spend more time with out favorite caped crusader i love getting to experience and enjoy seeing a different perspective of our beloved hero i don't even mind when they stray from the source material, as long as they stay true to his character who wants to see the same old story over and over.. i love when they take chances, changing the tone and vibe and i love see you embrace every version of batman and the sincere enjoyment in your voice warms my heart ❤
I watched Batman And Robin as if I am watching Adam West Batman and I enjoyed the Crap out of It but I can't say the Same For Batman Forever, they forgot to differentiate Batman and Bruce Wayne in it and the cheesy lines was just like punch in the gut to all Batman Fans, they really thought they could get away by making Batman a goof and thinking how that character works by just adding Famous celebrities and ignoring all audience and critics.
16:29 -- if you've seen "The Penguin" already, does that love of the character still stand? Colin had better win the Emmy, for that series. I do wish that Riddler had his suit and bowler hat.
This always felt to me like a real nod to the original Batman detective comics from the late 30's. Not that it's based on that specifically, as I uderstand, it draws from many different variations on the character throughout the years. It just gives me those vibes I think because The Batman's technology is so scaled down.
@@HAL-9OOO I personally don't like them very much, but I have a feeling that Miranda just might. I also think Ben Affleck was great as Batman - he just didn't get a good movie.
One thing I like the most about this film are the leitmotifs in the score. There's probably more than two, but I always pick up on the way the Riddler gets two or three notes from the Ave Maria, and how Bruce always gets two or three notes from "Something In The Way". An OST composer would obviously be familiar with doing that, and if you're into classical music you'd notice, but it's weird how it just skips past everyone else. Because it's so beautiful. This whole movie had to top "Dark Knight", the same as "Joker", and they both actually did.
I wouldn’t say “a lot of people”, as this movie was highly, highly successful both critically and financially, and even the vast majority of the comic book fans and Batman nerds loved it. A vocal minority may dislike it, but this movie is incredibly well loved.
Fire your cutter. Famous scene known from the trailers where Bat Man punches the hell out of that dude before he says "I'm Vengeance" is a NO-GO! regards.
So glad to see your reaction to this one !! IMO the most comic accurate adaptation of Batman. That being said, there is a 5 minutes deleted with the "unseen prisoner" that is also very faithful to the reliationship between the two characters... Hope I can see your reaction to this one too !
You should definitely react to the penguin series now, it’s phenomenal. Edit: but yeah I think this is my second favorite live action Batman movie, the dark knight will always be the best imo. But this is probably the most comic accurate Batman, at least in terms of tone the character and everything else. It’s absolutely amazing, and I think that this is as close as we can get to the comics in a live action performance in my opinion.
When she's talking is the movie paused for her, or is it still playing? Because it feels like she missed a good chunk of dialogue and scenes when she was looking away, anyone know?
Have you watched the original Batman Movie with Jack Nicholson as the Joker? It's a fantastic Classic with Michael Keaton as Batman. Batman Returns is the follow up. You should watch both of those if you haven't already!
While I do enjoy 'dark Riddler', I really enjoy that The Batman focuses on the detective aspect heavily and shows Bats finding his footing as he misses details and makes mistakes. I think Pattinson is a good fit for the role and am curious to see where they take it (as long as it isn't yet another Joker 😓)
OMG I've seen many reactions and you kept all the best parts that were edited out by other, and the way you reacted was exactly how I felt the first time i watched it. I love batman and I guess now I love you 😂
As for the Nolan films, he got a lot of his story elements from the classic Batman The Animated Series. And if you are a Bat fan, you Need to throw that series on your schedule.
That movie is based on the Year 2 comics arc, telling about the beginning of Bruce Wayne's journey as the Batman, and it really captured an aspect that was most neglected in all past Batman movies: Batman as a detective. I freaking loved it. Not bad for a glittery vampire. 😁
why do people confidently spread misinformation? This movie is about a Batman who is in his second year, and it adapts ideas from many comic arcs, but there is literally nothing of the actual comic arc "Year 2" in this movie. And good thing too, Year 2 is an absolute dogshit arc whose only positive aspect is that it was reworked into the fantastic Mask of the Phantasm.
It probably has already been said to you, but you should watch Gotham, the TV series. It depicts the city and its most notable characters like no other.
I play D&D & always get, "intelligence isn't important or useful," I say, "the riddler" then through a high intell. or wisdom based villain & watch them run...😂

I'm also not saying he was targeting Alfred - seems kind of pointless and potentially harmful if he wants Batman to be his ally.
@@ethanlivemere1162He says I know who you really are, because he believes he knows what type of person he is. There are hints that me might know to set up the misdirect.
At the end of the day his motivations line up with not knowing. He HATES Bruce, he gets angry just talking about him. Yet he idolises Batman and distraught they aren't on the same page.
@@ethanlivemere1162the whole film is from the riddlers perspective, with little jabs at Bruce/batmans morality (if you watch closely Batman/bruce does something manipulative or sociopathic to the people around him in every scene or the people flinch away or are traumatised by his appearances rather than feeling saved, while riddler imagery appears in any scene he’s not directly in…you can even see him in a reflection hiding beside the car in the thumb drive scene). He definitely knows who Bruce is, and he’s trying to show Bruce that vigilantism is wrong. I’m amazed no TH-camrs have picked up on this yet
“They think I’m hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.”
If that isn’t one of the most amazing Batman lines ever
"Batman can't be everywhere....but he can be *anywhere*
"Your odds of running into him are low....but they're *not* zero."
I have no idea what comic they're from, but some other kick-ass TH-camr mentioned them!!
They finally nailed Gotham City in this movie, it is like an additional character that is just as important as the main characters.
What I really love about Gotham in this is that Matt Reeves used different cities and combined them into one, which is something I would do as well if I made a Batman movie
I think they nailed the city really well in the Tim Burton Batman movies. That dark gothic style just suited it so well.
@@NecramoniumVideoYeah well it looks dated by now since new movies are mostly shot on location and in the 80's they use the soundstage too much. Like even back then I could tell how it was shot mostly in on a studio set.
@@hOtneOYou have a point about the sound stage but I am also convinced that it was a stylistic hommage to Expressionist films from the 20s, with bonkers architecture and a style which is very reminiscent of a theater stage. Or a puppet theater. So the artificiality ties together the style and the expressionism of the comic books.
@@hOtneO i mean gotham is suppose to look like a gothic victorian nightmare
I prefer the comics and arkham knight where its a mix of new york from the 40s, victorian nightmarish London, and modern Chicago
'Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?'
- The Riddler (1995)
When Batman and Gordon walk away from the tied up Ozwald, he walks towards them like a penguin. That part always makes me chuckle.
🎵 Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle 🎵
When Alfred says he is remembering his days in the circus it's probably a good hint at where he learned the things he passed on to Bruce. The Circus is a nickname for MI6, basically the British CIA
I heard him saying 'The Service' and knowing the character can assume he means service in british intelligence. good catch.
Alfred is ex SAS.
He doesn't say circus, he says service.
You can realize where the Riddler's lair is early if you're paying attention to the angle of the photos he sends of the club.
But when you see them for the first time it's not farfetched to think they were taken from the roof. At least it's I thought when I first saw them.
@@tiagoamorim81 of course, it wouldn't work if it was completely obvious and given away to the viewer. but a smart viewer might piece it together. (I did not, I'm not claiming I'm smart)
@@TheJokerAkaCirque The first time i watched the movie I wasn't even able to notice that we can actually see Riddler looking out the apartment's window in one of the open shots of the Iceberg Lounge entrance, so I'm close to claiming I'm smart either... 🤣
M: He's just doing forensics with his eyeballs. He doesn't need fancy cameras.
Batman: 🤨*removes fancy camera contacts*
The Riddler's design was based on a serial killer in San Francisco called "The Zodiac". David Fincher directed a movie about it starring Jake Gyllenhaal,Mark Ruffilo,and Robert Downey Jr.
gotta admit, as someone who was largely raised by my stepdad (no parent murder here, just divorce lmao), the "you needed a father, but all you had was me" scene got me BAWLING in the cinema, especially since my stepdad was sitting right next to me. this bruce and alfred nail the adoptive dad/adoptive son dynamic so perfectly in a way i can't quite explain, but it's so tangible, and so so important to me
The atmosphere of this movie is P E R F E C T
Hot take: the first 20-25 minutes of this movie, from the killing of the mayor to Pattinson riding into the batcave, is the best intro to a superhero movie ever.
Colin Farrell will return as The Penguin in the self-titled limited series on HBO this fall.
... and in #TheBatmanPt2

Patterson actually surprised me with his portrayal. I was not expecting him to pull this off.

The Superman Logo means hope, The Bat Signal means you're about to get your butt kick.
Put em together, "You'd hope you get your butt kicked". 😂🤣
Lol 😂😂😂, but for me, Batman is a symbol of will, hope, and vengeance. Every person sees the symbol that suits him according to his actions
In Gotham hospital there's a special wing with Batman's logo on it. Those are for Batman's broken victims 😂😂😂
When you Superman's S it means you have hope, but if you the bat logo it means you have no hope.
Depends on the point in Batman's career. Here, yeah there's no hopeful meaning to it. But much later, once he's established and trusted by Gotham and Gordon has been able to really work on cleaning up the GCPD it gives the people hope
The best villains are the ones that see themselves as being righteous. They are righting a wrong or teaching a lesson.

Don't get me wrong, I live the Dark Knight as much as the next person. But this is my favorite Batman movie. I love the visual storytelling with the audio mixing on his suit, car, etc. And the film just looks fantastic. The score is fantastic. Pattinson says so little, but it gets so much across. I could gush about this movie all day
This is the 1st time I’ve watched your channel. The Batman is easily my favourite Batman movie & I have to say your reaction was the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Definitely the most knowledgeable reactor I’ve seen.
The glazing is strong with this one. Simp much

SHOW YOURSELF, CHICKEN!!!
@@GetWellSoonR.E.M.HUH!
SURE IT CAME FOR OVER THERE
The point of "I'm vengeance" is that Bruce was realizing what Batman had come to symbolize: terror and violence. Terror and violence inspires more terror and violence. It was touched on in The Dark Knight Trilogy, but this really brings it to the fore: if Batman is the terrifying vigilante who lurks in the night and violently dispatches criminals, all that inspires is people to use the same methods to go after whoever they blame for the problems. Bruce is shown he needs to make Batman stand for something more, to be a light in the dark, instead of just more darkness.

Fun fact: the Riddler in this film was based on the Zodiac Killer
Also Jeffrey Wright played Issac in The Last of Us part 2 and will play him again in the HBO series
He's supposed to be Calendar Man ...
@@ChurchNietzsche Are you saying the character in the movie is supposed to be Calendar Man? Or are you saying something else that I'm missing?

This is the movie Se7en should have been. I watched it twice in the theater and never got tired of it. It gets Batman perfectly as a detective and not a superhero.
Watch the Joker deleted scene.
The Batman is a true Batman cinematic experience. I love Robert Pattinson's Batman. In my opinion he's the best live action Batman. He feels like a mix of DCAU Batman and Arkham Batman.
the movie's climax comes from the "batman" comics arc "zero year" from 2013-14. in it the riddler knocks out gotham's power and blows up its seawalls during a super-storm to flood gotham. the arc covers the start of batman's career where bruce spends a lot of time asking "who is batman? who is bruce wayne? what is gotham?"
This is what happens when someone who reads the comics watches this movie. They absolutely love it!
You'll be really happy to hear that the penguin is getting his own show on Max then
I have the same intensity as Robert Patterson when I'm at McDonalds.
Hello! What can I get you today?
Me: Jus Tice!
And a Toy! The boys TOY!!!
You need to check out the Joker deleted scene from this movie! It'll be your favorite thing ever.
This right here.
I actually think it was a bad idea to put the Joker in this movie. It was unecessary. And the Joker is overdone. Batman has so many good villains - use them! Mad Hatter, Mr Freeze (a good one, not Arnold), Hugo Strange.... just pick them!
The intro is what did it for me. It's the first time they show us what Batman truly means in the eyes of a criminal. They put you in their shoes, fear of every dark alley (which is where criminals usually thrive) because there could be an angry guy dressed as a bat ready to beat you to a pulp with his bare hands. That scene is so powerful.
Back in the day MI6, British secret services were called "The Circus". The movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy shows a great example of MI6 back then.
Definitely thought they'd botched the captions and that it was supposed to say, "The Service." Good to know!
It's not a real thing. The nickname "The Circus" is just from the books written by Le Carre. The Circus was used as a mocking way to refer MI6/SIS by the director of a different intelligence agency based on the SOE in The Looking Glass Wars and was used again in the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy when Smiley became the head of MI6/SIS with the iconic quote "welcome back to the circus".
It's referred as the Circus because in Le Carre's books, the hq of MI6/SIS is located at Cambridge Circus street.
Though, a lot of other jargons from the books are used irl later on (i.e the cousins refering to the CIA, honey trap refering to a sexual blackmail operator, agent as a someone you turn to your cause etc etc).
Le Carre was an intelligence officer during 50s and 60s for both SIS and MI5 but left the service when he was burned as a result of Philby's activities with USSR. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold was written when he was still an IO in Berlin for MI6/SIS.
It's probably referring to Alfred's time as a thespian traveling around possibly with a circus doing shows.
this version of Batman leans way more into the detective aspect of the character. I know he did the finger prints on the bullet in the other film but that was the only thing he did, here he's much more detective like. The Dark knight is still my favorite version of Batman, but this was good. I'm going to watch the Penguin series, which Colin Farrell also plays. I'm sure it's fantastic.
watching a nerd blossom turn into a full fledged fan girl rose, makes my old heart smile, Batman is the goat
Absolute masterpiece!!!
This is why Batman is the greatest comic character ever created.
Way better than anything from marvel.
Paul Dano is an amazing actor. He blends into his roles so well.
It’s crazy to me how many people didn’t understand that the jolt from the Batmobile was Batman taunting Penguin to run. So many think it stalled or something.
It’s annoying af right? It baffles me that people can’t seem to grasp that
Also btw he doesn’t know Batman is Bruce Wayne, the movie tries to trick you into thinking he does but he doesn’t and THE Batman part 2 is set to release in October 2026 there will also be a third film
That's all been canceled by James Gunn. Last I heard he decided he didn't want another Batman running while the DCU was being rebooted.
Edit: NM, just looked around and found I'm wrong. I'd heard that 3 or 4 months ago.
@@thebkg yeah bud idk wtf u we’re talkin abt that word was never going around, James Gunn legit said in his opening for the new DCU that it would be running congruently with Matt Reeves The Batman franchise
I personally always stayed convinced he does know. There's too many signs pointing to him knowing ("I know who you really are", his M.O. for killing Bruce being completely different from the rest etc.).
Why would he say that line about "We didn't get Bruce Wayne" then? There's cameras in the room. And we all know the Riddler doesn't want everyone to know the answer to the greatest riddle.
That’s kinda the folly of the Riddler that always works so well. Such a smart dude yet he can’t manage to figure out that the vigilante with billions of dollars worth of tech is secretly the billionaire
@@thebkgum... I'm not trying to be a guy like "ahaha u suck" Just um... Some other people might do that, but i just recommend it to delete your comment, but pls don't take it the wrong way aight?
This movie is highly underrated and I think he does an excellent job as Batman. I just feel like all the other Batman movies didn't show so much of his intellect as this one did. And everyone in this movie was also perfect for their roles!
Because of the Nolan trilogy i had zero expectations when i saw it, man was i wrong. The Batman is awesome.
Lol casual.
The Nolan trilogy was trash for casuals who can't read and not even remotely comic accurate.
The only good thing about the dark knight was Ledger.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418they were good as movies though
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 they are as comic accurate as this one is the dark knight was heavily based on the Long Halloween dude
So was this one
@chandlerburse Yeah this was comic accurate.
The Nolan trilogy was not.
Try to keep up
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 This was a combination of multiple comics
Also this doesn’t even have Harvey Dent in it which is one of the main focuses of Long Halloween
TDK does
You haven’t made any solid reason for why TDK is so bad and this is more accurate when they are the same form of combining source materials.
5:12 "A mini hammer... Shovel thing? What is that!?"😂
It is so much fun watching movies with you!
‘The Batman Part II’ was meant to be released next year but got delayed for a whole year. So we have ‘The Penguin’ miniseries coming out on Max this fall (no official release date yet)
The vibe and atmosphere in this film made it my favorite Batman film, that was one of my gripes with the Nolan films. They felt a bit too clean.
Yeeees Same!
"Showing us how intelligent he is".
That's what was missing from so many movies before. Batman is literally the world's greatest detective. And this movie finally shows that in the little details. Pattinson absolutely knocked this out of the park.
"I am the shadows" - Battinson.
Great reaction and picking up the references! Happy that you mentioned The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, also you must read Riddler Year one, co-written by Paul Dano 🦇🦇🦇
The fact that Colin Farrell was Penguin still to this day blows my mind!! I LOVE that mans acting! He NAILED the role and wasn't even like himself! #StayAwesome
EDIT: Can't WAIT until you check out the Burton Batman films! You will love them!
I would love to see a reaction to the Gotham series, it does such a good job referencing so many years of Batman with it's writing, and also the telltale batman games are great
The Batman is a worthy addition to the Batman library of content. I'd say that it's on par with Batman Begins in quality, and Robert "Battinson" defied expectations in the role. It's the live action film that captures the detective aspect of Batman's character the most. It's actually quite remarkable that Rocksteady added a "The Batman" skin to Arkham Knight 8 years after the game was released.
This is better than the Nolan trilogy
Way better than Batman Begins
Hi, so I subscribed after watching you nerd out for the first 3 minutes haha. Great commentary! This is a very different Batman film than anything that was done before. Batman has always been in the action genre, this was more of a thriller, and I think some general audiences were thrown off by that. For me, this is perhaps more Batman than any of the other films. This leans into the detective side of the character, which is often glossed over. The other thing is that this is highly character-driven. This Selena Kyle is the greatest love interest Batman has had since Andrea Beaumont. The city of Gotham is also perfectly captured here, with the rain, the gothic architecture, and the general atmosphere. It all works together to create a truly unique texture. This was a fantastic movie, and I can't wait to see the 2nd one!
You HAVE to watch The Penguin, it's peak.
thank you so much for your channel !
i just want to watch every movie with you now 🙂
batman is my all time favorite super hero 🖤
and it's so refreshing to meet another true batman fan
so many haters complain about every new batman iteration
some even before the movie comes out or before they have seen it
always unfairly comparing it to previous versions or the comic books its based on
instead of just being grateful we get to spend more time with out favorite caped crusader
i love getting to experience and enjoy seeing a different perspective of our beloved hero
i don't even mind when they stray from the source material, as long as they stay true to his character
who wants to see the same old story over and over.. i love when they take chances, changing the tone and vibe
and i love see you embrace every version of batman and the sincere enjoyment in your voice warms my heart ❤
"I haven't consumed a bad piece of batman media." Queue up "Batman and Robin"!
Nooooo!! Do NOT Que Batman & Robin!! That movie is Unwatchable, I've never seen more than about 10 mins.
That movie was terrible
@@chadfalardeau5396 she wanted a challenge. I’m pretty sure we can find some horrible Batman stuff for her.
I watched Batman And Robin as if I am watching Adam West Batman and I enjoyed the Crap out of It but I can't say the Same For Batman Forever, they forgot to differentiate Batman and Bruce Wayne in it and the cheesy lines was just like punch in the gut to all Batman Fans, they really thought they could get away by making Batman a goof and thinking how that character works by just adding Famous celebrities and ignoring all audience and critics.
This reaction made me realize the truth of the Riddler/Batman relationship that it's easy to miss on first watch. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
16:29 -- if you've seen "The Penguin" already, does that love of the character still stand? Colin had better win the Emmy, for that series.
I do wish that Riddler had his suit and bowler hat.
This always felt to me like a real nod to the original Batman detective comics from the late 30's. Not that it's based on that specifically, as I uderstand, it draws from many different variations on the character throughout the years. It just gives me those vibes I think because The Batman's technology is so scaled down.
girllll you gotta watch the animated Batman movies, they're soooo good
like Year One, Under the Red Hood, etc.
Your reactions are the best! I am going to watch all your videos and subscribe now. Keep the videos coming! ❤
Now you've basically seen the four good live-action Batman movies. You HAVE to watch the deleted Joker scene for this one. It's really chilling.
I understand why they cut it but that scene is awesome
Made me laugh, funnily enough, as it felt as if Reeves and co. were trying way too hard to top Ledgers version instead of making their own...
Aren't there also a couple of good Burton-Batman flicks?
Keaton?
@@HAL-9OOO I personally don't like them very much, but I have a feeling that Miranda just might.
I also think Ben Affleck was great as Batman - he just didn't get a good movie.
One thing I like the most about this film are the leitmotifs in the score. There's probably more than two, but I always pick up on the way the Riddler gets two or three notes from the Ave Maria, and how Bruce always gets two or three notes from "Something In The Way". An OST composer would obviously be familiar with doing that, and if you're into classical music you'd notice, but it's weird how it just skips past everyone else. Because it's so beautiful. This whole movie had to top "Dark Knight", the same as "Joker", and they both actually did.
A lot of people didn’t like this movie but it’s the most accurate portrayal of Batman in a movie lol
I wouldn’t say “a lot of people”, as this movie was highly, highly successful both critically and financially, and even the vast majority of the comic book fans and Batman nerds loved it. A vocal minority may dislike it, but this movie is incredibly well loved.
what do you mean a lot of people didn't like this movie? It was extremely popular and very well recieved
@@Joshcoshbagosh Yeah I’m confused by that one lol.
Fire your cutter. Famous scene known from the trailers where Bat Man punches the hell out of that dude before he says "I'm Vengeance" is a NO-GO! regards.
You were dead on with the tweedle-de and tweedle-dum. OLD batman villains resurrected in The Animated Series and paid homage to here.
So glad to see your reaction to this one !! IMO the most comic accurate adaptation of Batman. That being said, there is a 5 minutes deleted with the "unseen prisoner" that is also very faithful to the reliationship between the two characters... Hope I can see your reaction to this one too !
Nerding out over reading the "Miranda" rights was hilarious and adorable.
Love seeing someone getting into Batman and enjoying the hell out of the ride. He's my favorite character in all of fiction.
The Penguin!! You have to watch
You should definitely react to the penguin series now, it’s phenomenal.
Edit: but yeah I think this is my second favorite live action Batman movie, the dark knight will always be the best imo. But this is probably the most comic accurate Batman, at least in terms of tone the character and everything else. It’s absolutely amazing, and I think that this is as close as we can get to the comics in a live action performance in my opinion.
When she's talking is the movie paused for her, or is it still playing? Because it feels like she missed a good chunk of dialogue and scenes when she was looking away, anyone know?
Pretty sure it's still playing unless she says otherwise. Yeah, pretty annoying when reactors miss stuff because they're playing to the camera
@@vegasviking86Yup! Also, this editor suuuuuuuuucks!!!! He/she needs to be fired and banned from editing anymore reactor’s videos! lol

Have you watched the original Batman Movie with Jack Nicholson as the Joker? It's a fantastic Classic with Michael Keaton as Batman. Batman Returns is the follow up. You should watch both of those if you haven't already!
I Loved Your Reaction Mirandalorian 🦇 This Movie Defines The Batman Perfectly 👀 Enough Said Beautiful ❤
While I do enjoy 'dark Riddler', I really enjoy that The Batman focuses on the detective aspect heavily and shows Bats finding his footing as he misses details and makes mistakes. I think Pattinson is a good fit for the role and am curious to see where they take it (as long as it isn't yet another Joker 😓)
Love the scene where batman Injects himself with adrenaline. Shows how human he is and that he has too push big boundaries to survive in situations
The journey to becoming the World’s Greatest Detective. 🔥
OMG I've seen many reactions and you kept all the best parts that were edited out by other, and the way you reacted was exactly how I felt the first time i watched it. I love batman and I guess now I love you 😂
Yes! now you MUST watch the Joker deleted scene.
Being an adult Batman convert who knows the comics is such a flex. Loved this film
Well now you gotta watch Batman 89
I hope you so the Tim Burton ones soon haha. Start amazing, end goofy as hell. But the first two = impeccable.
Guess who played the Penguin
*''IS GOLLUM ALFRED?''* 😂😂😂
As for the Nolan films, he got a lot of his story elements from the classic Batman The Animated Series. And if you are a Bat fan, you Need to throw that series on your schedule.
You should definitely check out The Penguin series . Its one of the best shows of 2024 .
That movie is based on the Year 2 comics arc, telling about the beginning of Bruce Wayne's journey as the Batman, and it really captured an aspect that was most neglected in all past Batman movies: Batman as a detective. I freaking loved it. Not bad for a glittery vampire. 😁
why do people confidently spread misinformation? This movie is about a Batman who is in his second year, and it adapts ideas from many comic arcs, but there is literally nothing of the actual comic arc "Year 2" in this movie. And good thing too, Year 2 is an absolute dogshit arc whose only positive aspect is that it was reworked into the fantastic Mask of the Phantasm.
It was heavily inspired by Zero Year. In that comic series riddler also tries to flood Gotham. Also Riddler from (Earth 1)
The movie is a mix of Zero Year, Year One, Brubaker's Catwoman and The Long Halloween
Its also based on Earth One and Long Halloween
Also Year 2 was when Batman used guns and fought that reaper villain and it was very bad so i doubt you’re even correct
Fun fact: the kid that plays the scared gang member with half the face paint goes on to play Tim Drake in the Titans live action show
He's actually early 30s, still very young.
fairly old for a first time Batman tho
Batman in the comics is around 20 to 25 when he becomes Batman
She’s like a hyperactive dog you need to keep snapping your fingers at to keep focused.
It probably has already been said to you, but you should watch Gotham, the TV series. It depicts the city and its most notable characters like no other.
I play D&D & always get, "intelligence isn't important or useful," I say, "the riddler" then through a high intell. or wisdom based villain & watch them run...😂
