I’m honestly gonna need the sequel to be just as long. One of the best theater experiences I’ve had and I’ve watched it like 3 times since at home. It’s a true movie from start to end
Definitely with you there. I watched it at an IMAX screen. Although I absolutely love this movie, I didn't fully enjoy the cinema experience though. About 10 mins in I told a rough looking guy two seats away from me to quieten down as was constantly yacking to his GF at the side of me. He didn't apologise, but I could feel an uneasiness in the air around him that he wasn't too happy about me. I spent the remaining 3 hours trying my damndest to enjoy a movie I'd been massively looking forward too, and worrying whether I was gonna be involved in some fisticuffs at the end of the movie for showing this guy up in front of his GF. Fortunately, he left at the end without issue, but it was still an uneasy watch for the wrong reasons haha Both this and TDK, should be shown in cinemas as a double bill at least once a year ad infinitum do that each passing generation know how proper films should look.
All movies? You need to broaden your horizons. Start with watching something other than standard Hollywood films. The Substance, for example, is EXTREMELY stylistic. But also has a great story, performances, effects. Did you go watch it? I’m betting not.
My favorite Batman scene from any of the movies is when vengeance dies, and Batman is symbolically reborn, almost like a baptism through the death of vengeance. It's such a powerful scene, especially with the red flare and all.
it was so naive. Firstly, it ruins the premise of neo-noir movie where it should end on a bitter note and show that humanity is flawed. Second thing: it comes like out of nowhere. There is no problem in comics that Batman is a symbol of vengeance and nothing wrong with that, but they showed in the movie him changing and helping citiziens like some kind of fireman. That's not Batman from the comics. Generally the movie is too naive to be considered neo-noir or a serious take, not with Bruce Wayne writing a diary like a 15yo that he's not hiding in the shadows but he is the shadows. ROTFL
One complaint I CAN'T get behind is that "the movie is too long." What I love about this movie so much is that there are no *open ended questions the movie missed, no weak characters the movie had, and no reality where we felt certain characters didn't get enough screen time!* If this movie was any shorter we would ALL have complaints about where it lacked. But BECAUSE they took those extra 30 minutes (which I was so happy about), there are no open ended questions left. We feel FULFILLED watching the movie! Matt Reeves wanted to tell his story, so why not LET him tell his story? We as Batman fans go to see extra scenes WITH Batman. What is there to complain about?
It's not that it's too long; it's that many scenes, specifically in the second half, go on longer than necessary. There's too much dead space where the goal of the scene has been accomplished but the audience has to wait an additional 30 seconds while Bruce thinks or stares at something. I think it's a good movie, but it's not particularly well paced in the second half.
The movie is too long because Batman needs to walk all the time and ask about riddles because he's not that smart. You say there where no weak characters? The Penguin is pointless and irrelevant to the plot, Gordon is only for exposition dialogue. The movie is stupid and really bad written copy of Seven and Zodiac.
I see "The Batman" and I click. We can joke but this for me was one of best movies i have seen in decade. Nothing topped the atmosphere, cinematography and audio of this movie. Totally didnt expect it would be that good, watched it 2 times now and gotta say it is most likely one of best Batman movies ever. I love Dark knight trilogy but man this movie is such a diamond people will respect it over next few decades. Can't wait for the sequel! Also was sad to see Matt Reeves cancelled "Arkham" TV series project. Cant wait to see whats next after Penguin.
It's being loved more and more now ever since the release of The Penguin (which in itself is genuinely such a phenomenal show and is in contention for best show of 2024) which made people appreciate it so much more
I fangirled so hard when the Batmobile shook the theatre, its sheer intensity and its menacing presence obscured in darkness just to fill that void with its raging fire was so fucking awesome.
I like the detail that you mentioned about bruce not being able to look at riddler until he realized that he didn't know that he was batman, and then he was able to look at him again. It's like all of his confidence is conjured up when he is batman but as soon as you take that away he becomes a kid. Really good take and nice video!
This is one of my favourite films of recent times, I remember seeing it in cinemas for the first time and for some reason just being in awe at the scene with the red flare. In such a gritty film the use of colour is much more impactful imo.
The scene where he rises up after beating up the first thug is amazing also the Riddler was super funny hes supposed to be creepy but I laugh so hard when he goes off
It felt like the WB animated series. The impossible was made possible. In order to ground Batman in reality, it had to be shown that Bruce is essentially Batshit crazy. Pattinson looked absolutely unhinged in the Batsuit with the dead eyes he gave in his performance.
One of the things I found interesting is the amount of times Batman asks a question throughout the movie. And the fact that he ultimately loses at the end while taking alot of damage due to his inexperience. It made me realize how much the other movies portray him as an unstoppable force that never makes mistakes. I also like how Bruce Wayne is actually the alter ego in this interpretation.
16:40 is such an incredible part that i think alot of us missed and makes Carmine's final scene have even more weight and just overall impactful. Bruce being recognized with no consequences as carmine dies with his secret is just so cool
Saw this movie in imax. When I walked into the theater, they told me that the ac is broken, 90 degrees in there, so I can get a refund if I want. Walked in and the theater was packed. Everybody was hot and sweaty but it was worth it.
Sounds terrible .. Being stuck in a hot theater watching that movie. It was painful enough and I saw it at home with my vodka and water. Movie was so boring.
@@Fiveash-Art what was boring about it? It’s the most true-to-comic adaptation we’ve ever gotten out of a live action Batman movie. What’s not to love? Maybe you’re just not a fan.
@@SlickA10Homepage 'fan = fanatic' .. yeah, definitely not a 'fan'. Fans don't think objectively about the movies they watch. They also define themselves by the entertainment they consume. No, not a fan. You should see my Batman comics collection though.. It's massive. Stopped collecting around 2007, but had picked up everything and anything related to the character in comics from the mid 80s on. The movie is poor.
@@Fiveash-Art yes, fan is short for fanatic, but fan is also a popular slang term in western culture, often used to describe a person who likes a topic or subject. haven’t seen your batman collection, so I can’t say anything about that. sorry, drax.
I used to trash this movie, I thought it was vastly overrated when it came out in theaters. I was the same as you, only now I had the feeling i needed to revisit this film. It is simple not a film for theaters, it deserves a more intimate experience at the darkness of your own room, headphones on 100%. Thank you for encapsulating all of that.
This comment hits me perfectly as Garfield perfectly played "my" Spider-Man, especially the bridge scene, as much as Pattinson was "my" Batman. Both actors perfectly portrayed my mental image of their respective characters!
The Batman is a comic book masterpiece that captured the world of Batman perfectly. I love how tortured Robert Pattinson's Batman is. People forget that Bruce is a tortured character. The playboy billionaire thing is just an act. For the first time in live action we see the real Bruce Wayne. Also I love that Batman actually develops as a character in this movie. Usually in the movies Bruce Wayne gets all the development and Batman is just a background character. I love that Batman is front and center the entire movie. This movie is fantastic.
You're being pretty bias considering how Christian Bale did a good job of showing how much of a tortured character Bruce Wayne is in Batman Begins and how through the league of shadows he finds purpose.
@@nnnmmmable I love The Dark Knight Trilogy but I find Bale's Batman very lackluster. It's mostly the voice and fight scenes I have a problem with. Everything else is masterful.
I’m convinced it was raining all over the globe the week the Batman was released. Walking out of the Batman in the rain completely shitfaced was one of the the best evenings of my life
Seated for this one Comporio. I watched this movie in imax when it came out and I still can’t forget seeing the batmobile starting scene for the first time, the v8 + jet engine sound is seared into my brain
I was mocked endlessly for telling people in advance how good this was going to be. The director's work on "Let Me In" told me that this movie was going to be an incredibly visceral Batman film. People mocked me for saying Robert Pattinson was going to be a great Batman... but he had already proven himself to me MUCH more than his twilight role with films like 'Good Time', 'High Life' and 'The Lighthouse'. Great video, thanks.
I know how this movie is already a masterpiece, but the fact that the penguin spinoff is as good as it is blows my mind. Like it’s not perfect but oh my is it probably one of the better tv shows I have seen come out in recent years.
When I first saw gone girl I thought the halfway point was the end and then I checked there was an entire second half of a movie left and I was shocked when Amy did her monologue. Crazy movie. Batman is Sick 👍.
I didn’t expect this to be something I’d thrown on the tv often just to have something in the background. It’s blown my mind how the more you engage w this story/mystery/conspiracy, the more you’re rewarded. The attention to detail in creating this world is astounding, and reading Paul Dano’s Riddler comic as well as watching the Penguin HBO show, just enriches your appreciation for the world Reeves has created. I have zero interest in this Batman joining a wider DC movie universe; keep it in house with a tight lid, this thing is gold by itself.
Christopher nolans the dark night, is an action crime thriller featuring batman and the joker. The batman 2022 is a Batman movie that we never knew we didn't get it until we saw it. In my opinion, the batman is the best superhero movie ever made. It can never get a sequel, and it will still be Perfect
Completely agree. My favorite superhero of all time is Daredevil. My favorite comic book cinema of all time is the Daredevil series, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Batman. Nothing will ever top them, probably. The Penguin is phenomenal though and i can't wait for The Batman Part II.
The only superhero movie in recent times that has made me feel as tensed as when I watched the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox way back in 2014-15. My ass cheeks were clenched throughout the car chase sequence. Pure cinema.
The Batman was an incredibly immersive and visually stunning movie, the most realistic I've seen in theaters. The 2D experience was better than even the 3D of Avatar: The Way of Water. Movies like The Batman, John Wick Chapter 4, and Dune Part 2 are rare because they target mature audiences and make less money compared to mainstream blockbusters. Just look at the numbers: - The Batman: $772 million (should've hit $1 billion) - Dune Part 2: $714 million (deserved $1.2+ billion) - The LOTR Experience - John Wick 4: $440 million (should've made atleast $700 million) But these movies are pulling in the big bucks: - Jurassic World Dominion: $1 billion - Doctor Strange 2: $955 million - Deadpool and Wolverine: $1.33 billion - Inside Out 2: $1.69 billion (Crazy isn't that?) - Spiderman No Way Home: $1.91 billion So, we might rarely get these amazing movies for mature audiences in the future.
Those last 5 movies you listed are all nostalgia bait movies as-well except maybe inside out 2 since idk I haven't seen it. Goes to show that a lot of people don't even want to take a chance on a great movie which is outside their comfort zone, which is funny because those first 3 movies are not exactly not mainstream either, they are just on the better side of what blockbusters should be in terms of quality.
these movies are kinda like an investment, the batman universe that will be created will bring more money in the future, flashy movies just get hyped by the monkeys and bring more money to the table but have no future value. think how much rewatchability the batman has in comparison to spiderman homecoming for example.
@@jakesully221-gr1vm Yeah, but The Batman and Dune , neither were 'great movies'. Their audience 'fans' are simply delusional. Both were nice looking movies but had nothing of substance. All style and nothing else. Pretentious boring blockbusters is all they were.
There is no such thing as literally great movie friend. A movie is a combination of arts, you cant just trash all the artists in a movie because you didnt like a specific section of it.there are people who focus on the good things the artists did in a movie and forgive mistakes, and then there are monkeys that just because the story didnt please their snowflake idea they had about it, they trash it along with every other artist who worked on it, and also it tells a lot about an individual when he spends his time hating and dooming movies he didnt like. @@Fiveash-Art
My goodness man…. That part about falcon’s dialog matching up with his last moments!!!!’ That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say that - I was smiling ear to ear ❤
What bothers me most about the fans is that some REFUSE to give this movie credit simply because they're scared it'll be liked more than the Nolan trilogy, and that is just sad. This movie to me captures the true essence of the Batman the best. Sure the movie isn't a superhero peice like TDK, and it isn't as fantastical as the Keaton films, but this movies truly feels like the Arkham games.
I've watched this movie about 7 times since its release, I loved it the first time i watched it and will always love it, I think one of the biggest reasons for its success is because it makes Batman seem like a realistic character, like if you could get enough money and enough training, YOU could actually be Batman. The cherry on top is their decision to make Bruce Wayne this depressed emo kid, which honestly just made him more relatable to a lot of young males, and it brought about a lot of memes. So the fact that Batman is someone you think you could be and Bruce Wayne is someone you already are, it justs hits home and feels extremely personal. Oh and the casting of Zoe Kravitz was spot on, as far as the male gaze goes
Woah, those match frames at the end pieced together were straight attention to detail by Reeves and Fraiser, holy smokes it really a cinematic masterpiece
I’ve watched the Batman like 10 times. And every time I enjoy it and to me it’s the best Batman movie. Yes even better than the dark knight simply because they portray a realistic Batman. The penguin series locked that in for me and I can’t what for the Batman part 2
It's my fav Batman film 🎥 even over Nolans. It's the look and tone I have been waiting years for. And the MCU to me now is average. Because this is a work of art!
@@mogg34y How tf is it a subjective opinion when Nolan's batman trilogy is ahead of this film in literally every objective metric you can think of. 1) Box office 2) Awards 3) Pop culture impact 4) Critics and User ratings In every metric, Nolan's trilogy is ahead. The Trilogy has so many iconic dialogues that 90% of Superhero edits on the internet literally use dialogues from those films. It's pop culture impact is insane. While no one is even talking about this Batman film except DC fans.
@@Fiveash-Art😂 The irony of that statement. You can't have one person compliment this movie without someone else crying about "how much better TDK is." It's exhausting. Sure TDK was more of a superhero smash hit, THIS movie captured the true essence of Batman the best and it's not even close.
This movie is a visual masterpiece. It’s my favorite comic book movie, ever. You can think the dark knight is a better movie or has a better story, but when it comes to immersion, cinematography, fight scenes, and pretty much everything about the visuals, this movie is like a hydrogen bomb while the dark knight is like a coughing baby. Gotham actually feels like Gotham. And now that the penguin is out and fucking amazing, this world is only getting better
oh my God this video is the real masterpiece. everything from your music choices to your editing your commentary, everything is so on point. I really didn't like the Batman when I first saw it I didn't understand it I thought Batman was scrawny and it was just long for no reason and little by little I would see things on TH-cam that gave it a little clarity here and there, but when Colin Farrell's, the penguin came out, it changed everything then I understood but you the creator of this content unlike everyone else you really get it and you explain it to lay people that didn't go to film school that don't always get movies. a lot of us watch movies and we think of movie is good or we think movies bad but we never really understand the movie. I'm thinking that some movies if you truly understand them, movies that you thought were really good movies if you really knew what the movie was about you might think the movie's crap, vice versa a movie that you thought was really really bad you didn't understand it a lot of times and when you start to understand it or once it's explained and you go back and watch it again then you get this aha moment where the light comes on in your brain. same thing with books you read a book when you were younger you didn't really understand it you were like this is crap but then as you get older or you read a synopsis of it and you go back and reread it you're like well this is brilliant. anyway I'm just saying that this video and this movie is so well done I can't thank you enough I am watching this on October 24th 2004 and it made my whole night like I am so entertained but more importantly I am enlightened I feel like I'm in on something now, thank you
@@Comporio oh wow, didn't expect you to comment on my comment. Don't thank me. I'm actually thanking you thank you for the clarity The humor, and your wonderful editing skills. I thoroughly enjoyed your content. anyway have a good one and I'll watch more of the things you create.
Bravo for this video. The Batman is not just an amazing superhero/noire detective film, but it’s just pure beautiful cinema. Reeves & co really put their soul into not just this film, but the universe they’re building around it. Makes me even more excited we’ll probably be getting AT LEAST one trilogy.
Michael Keaton is my Batman, for the nostalgia and I grew up on his and Tim Burton's vision. I really enjoyed Christian Bale's take on the Legend with Christopher Nolan. When I first heard that Robert was going to play Bruce/Batman I knew as an actor that he could handle it, just wasn't 100% sure about his size, but he definitely "knocked it out the park"the world building and character's is top tier and the visuals and the sounds especially the little subtle sounds. Overall awesome "year 2" Batman, where you can see that Bruce is 100% invested in being Batman more than being the playboy millionaire Bruce.... just was awesome seeing this story unfold.
It’s aging very well I know it’s not perfect but it’s damn close and it’s a sleeper hit it gets better the more you watch it.The cinematography is excellent and aesthetically pleasing, the acting and the character development is genius especially Robert Pattison’s performance and the world building of Gotham is excellent. The films weaknesses are clearly studio interference but I’m sure they will let Matt Reeves cook for the sequel.
It’s closer to Raw. It’s so well done that you can’t tell how polished it really is. As if they threw the actors in their respective settings and said “action”. They don’t look like movie sets.
Agreed so many greats had played superhero with mask. But till date no actor had conveyed more emotions than Pattinson and even if they did, none of their performances had left such an impact of audience. Robert is one of the greats working today his career trajectory is possibly best in 10 last year's. He is a chameleon actor
as entertaining as _the penguin_ is, it just doesn't touch _the batman_ in cinematography... holy fuck - and the themes are much more resonant than just pure ego- / revenge-driven drama
Random fun fact about light sensitivity, you can also get light sensitivity from repeated concussions or a traumatic brain injury. So him being light sensitive also means he's taken a lot of hard hits.
What an incredible video! If I could point out just one misconception (encouraged by the movie's own marketing), it would be calling what's left of Bruce Wayne Batman. I would call him The Vengeance, referencing the clapper board used during filming and how he sees himself(Obviously you got it buuut i think it would be a nice tweak to the text). It's only at the end of the movie that we see the character realize that he needs to be much more if he wants to have any positive impact (learning Spanish is the first step, I would say hahaha).
Couldn't agree less. This is a Punisher movie in disguise as a Batman movie. He is frequently the dumbest person in the room and him hitting his face at 20+mph on the underpass bridge - to have him walk away limping? The worst part: Batman *isn't* a beacon of light. That's literally his thing, so to have him make that change also really doesn't make sense for the character. He isn't dressed up to inspire good guys, he's dressed up to scare bad guys.
How is he the dumbest person in the room? He is literally the one that keeps getting the mysteries solved. He only made one fatal mistake, and that's fine since this Batman hasn't actually faced this big of a threat. "Batman isn't a beacon of light" That's literally his arc in the movie, realizing vengeance is not the way and only furthering the cycle of violence that Gotham has, and that he needs to become the symbol of hope that the people of Gotham need.
That slamming into the bridge scene really took me out of the movie. It was basically played for laughs in an otherwise serious/realistic movie. At the least he is paralyzed after taking that hit. delete that and it's near perfect.
Agreed bro! As much as I loved the Nolan films the fight choreography was the weakest part. That and how bland Gotham felt. It just felt like Chicago bc for the most part it was. Besides Batman Begins bc the narrows looked really cool. The Batman actually takes the time to develop Gotham as a character too. A dark, cold, rainy, neon, cesspool of crime and muck. And starts Bruce off as a heavily flawed character with noble intentions. The fight choreography, cinematography, and the overall atmosphere of ‘The Batman’ is superior, but the plot of ‘The Dark Knight‘, the writing, along with Heath Ledger’s Oscar worthy performance really took the film to heights rarely achieved. And while TDK is no masterclass in cinematography, it does have some very impressive shots. That to say The Batman is a very well made movie and I’m looking forward to seeing the Bruce Wayne persona developed in The Batman part II. Also here’s a hot take, Ben Affleck as Batman is my favorite live action adaptation of the character.
Of all superhero movies in recent times, THE BATMAN and Avengers - Engame are the only ones that I obsesively rewatched over time. Constantly revisiting them over and over. Trying to understand what this movie is about. This video is one of the best explanation on why I am obsessed with THE BATMAN.
The fact that batman actually gets hits from punches, weapons and guns and bullets, you feel the impact on his body and then he still keeps fighting and tanks it like a chad is what made it so great for me.
I think the thing that made this movie was Robert Pattinsons commitment to wearing the batsuit. All the footage of Bruce Wayne we saw in the trailers truly were the only times, aside from maybe like one or two scenes, where he was actually Bruce Wayne. The majority of the time he was wearing that cape and cowl. He truly melted into that character. Even in this movie, the true identity of Bruce has always been debated on “who is the REAL mask” and I don’t think that would’ve sold if he didn’t wear the suit as much as he did.
Prince of Gotham during the day and Dark Knight during the night. Bruce Wayne “sleeps” during night while Batman “sleeps” during the day. Batman is the blanket that helps Bruce Wayne “sleep” at night.
My only issues with this movie was the pacing of certain scenes and the transitions that felt kind of choppy, but other than that it’s the best pure batman film ever
I thought pacing was great IMO for what this movie was trying to be, only problem movie had was last 15-20 minutes. I don't think that part was necessary at all.
@@UncrownedKingDante yeah. I felt like some scenes couldve been cut shorter while having the same impact for ex) batman finding the last riddler card and carpet tool in the bat cage. It was unnecessarily long
@@samisirusbis1008no it’s not an illusion. The movie does have poor pacing and the sequel could certainly take a lot of hints from the pacing of The Penguin episodes
I think it’s probably the best Batman movie. This is the way he and Gotham have been portrayed in the comics for decades, now. All the actors were great, beautiful cinematography, I loved everything about it. And Batman spent a lot of time doing detective work! Very cool. They really brought the perfect blend of gritty realism and the fantastic to it. Can’t wait for the next one, but I’m really loving Penguin in the meantime.
I love this movie so much because of all the attention to detail on top of this already well executed concept. The Riddlers glasses were inspired by one of the first ever movie adaptations of the Riddler. The Batmobile itself was designed by render artist ashthorp, who previously worked on brutalist (vehicle) designs that perfectly fit the gotham aesthetic. It all just ties in together so well
I'll admit, when I saw the Batmobile for this universe, I was underwhelmed. But, when I heard it in the theater and that revving made my chest tighten up, I said "Well done, Matt. You got me."

Bigggggg facts. Fuck the haters. We need a 3hr sequel. I hope Matt doesn’t give into the pressure of idiots.
Same
Definitely with you there. I watched it at an IMAX screen. Although I absolutely love this movie, I didn't fully enjoy the cinema experience though. About 10 mins in I told a rough looking guy two seats away from me to quieten down as was constantly yacking to his GF at the side of me. He didn't apologise, but I could feel an uneasiness in the air around him that he wasn't too happy about me. I spent the remaining 3 hours trying my damndest to enjoy a movie I'd been massively looking forward too, and worrying whether I was gonna be involved in some fisticuffs at the end of the movie for showing this guy up in front of his GF. Fortunately, he left at the end without issue, but it was still an uneasy watch for the wrong reasons haha Both this and TDK, should be shown in cinemas as a double bill at least once a year ad infinitum do that each passing generation know how proper films should look.
Can’t agree more
The revving up of the Batmobile with its afterburners was pure eargasm in IMAX
Really, I hated it and hated the fact they kept loudly revving engines like it was a fast and furious movie. The sound de
It was fucking unreal.
@@AlmonMalk Man, I’d be doing revs and burnouts in that car if I had the chance

that is true most superhero movies feel too clean, almost sterile these days
Facts.They also lacked any style.Just look at how plain and bland Spiderman NWH was.
Young hooligan batman and stupid Riddler didn't play that well.
Not just superhero movies, all movies these days have that look. No idea why modern Hollywood is so afraid of grime and texture
All movies? You need to broaden your horizons. Start with watching something other than standard Hollywood films.
The Substance, for example, is EXTREMELY stylistic. But also has a great story, performances, effects. Did you go watch it?
I’m betting not.
There either way too digital and bland (MCU) or overly edgy and dark with substance(Snyder) The Batman looks perfect
My favorite Batman scene from any of the movies is when vengeance dies, and Batman is symbolically reborn, almost like a baptism through the death of vengeance. It's such a powerful scene, especially with the red flare and all.
😂"When vengeance dies" 😂😂😂
YES! It's sooooo good
Cringe as fuck. Grow up jfc
Sounds like a ripoff of Satan, simply pathetic
it was so naive. Firstly, it ruins the premise of neo-noir movie where it should end on a bitter note and show that humanity is flawed. Second thing: it comes like out of nowhere. There is no problem in comics that Batman is a symbol of vengeance and nothing wrong with that, but they showed in the movie him changing and helping citiziens like some kind of fireman. That's not Batman from the comics. Generally the movie is too naive to be considered neo-noir or a serious take, not with Bruce Wayne writing a diary like a 15yo that he's not hiding in the shadows but he is the shadows. ROTFL
One complaint I CAN'T get behind is that "the movie is too long." What I love about this movie so much is that there are no *open ended questions the movie missed, no weak characters the movie had, and no reality where we felt certain characters didn't get enough screen time!* If this movie was any shorter we would ALL have complaints about where it lacked. But BECAUSE they took those extra 30 minutes (which I was so happy about), there are no open ended questions left. We feel FULFILLED watching the movie!
Matt Reeves wanted to tell his story, so why not LET him tell his story? We as Batman fans go to see extra scenes WITH Batman. What is there to complain about?
exactly! how the hell is "too long" for a movie like this??
longer movie means more movie! and more movie means MOAR FUN!
I fell asleep in the theater
It's not that it's too long; it's that many scenes, specifically in the second half, go on longer than necessary. There's too much dead space where the goal of the scene has been accomplished but the audience has to wait an additional 30 seconds while Bruce thinks or stares at something.
I think it's a good movie, but it's not particularly well paced in the second half.
The movie is too long because Batman needs to walk all the time and ask about riddles because he's not that smart. You say there where no weak characters? The Penguin is pointless and irrelevant to the plot, Gordon is only for exposition dialogue. The movie is stupid and really bad written copy of Seven and Zodiac.
I see "The Batman" and I click.
We can joke but this for me was one of best movies i have seen in decade. Nothing topped the atmosphere, cinematography and audio of this movie.
Totally didnt expect it would be that good, watched it 2 times now and gotta say it is most likely one of best Batman movies ever.
I love Dark knight trilogy but man this movie is such a diamond people will respect it over next few decades.
Can't wait for the sequel! Also was sad to see Matt Reeves cancelled "Arkham" TV series project.
Cant wait to see whats next after Penguin.
Complete Truth
I'm glad that you change your views on The Batman.The film is a great film.It's a shame that the film is not loved more.
It doesn’t have a great pace. Films are not just about technical aspects; they’re rather a narrative medium
It's being loved more and more now ever since the release of The Penguin (which in itself is genuinely such a phenomenal show and is in contention for best show of 2024) which made people appreciate it so much more
It's god awful. You're a child clearly if you think it's good in anyway 😂
Can't have a Harlem Jim Gordon that's absolutely ridiculous garbage 😂
I fangirled so hard when the Batmobile shook the theatre, its sheer intensity and its menacing presence obscured in darkness just to fill that void with its raging fire was so fucking awesome.
I like the detail that you mentioned about bruce not being able to look at riddler until he realized that he didn't know that he was batman, and then he was able to look at him again. It's like all of his confidence is conjured up when he is batman but as soon as you take that away he becomes a kid. Really good take and nice video!
That's a terrible interpretation of that incident.
This is one of my favourite films of recent times, I remember seeing it in cinemas for the first time and for some reason just being in awe at the scene with the red flare. In such a gritty film the use of colour is much more impactful imo.
The scene where he rises up after beating up the first thug is amazing also the Riddler was super funny hes supposed to be creepy but I laugh so hard when he goes off
4:45 I rewatched this after watching a bit of the Penguin, and Oz also has a clicking when he walks because of his peg leg
You know what I mean
Rizzler never got to eat his Pumpkin Pie 😔
This batman movie is my favorite batman movie. I enjoyed it more than the others. I thought I was alone in this .
🤣
If only there'd been a riddler trophy in the movie.
Coulson never got to have sex with Catwoman 😔
Falconie never got to hang his daughter ☹️
It felt like the WB animated series. The impossible was made possible. In order to ground Batman in reality, it had to be shown that Bruce is essentially Batshit crazy. Pattinson looked absolutely unhinged in the Batsuit with the dead eyes he gave in his performance.
No it didn't.
@@Fiveash-Art yes it diiid
it’s funny cause those are literally his edward eyes lol
One of the things I found interesting is the amount of times Batman asks a question throughout the movie. And the fact that he ultimately loses at the end while taking alot of damage due to his inexperience. It made me realize how much the other movies portray him as an unstoppable force that never makes mistakes. I also like how Bruce Wayne is actually the alter ego in this interpretation.
He's not inexperienced, though. He's been fighting crime for 2 years. He's just not a veteran.
bro you have no idea as a student of filmmaking how
much this video helped to understand the cinema language,
class lectures are boring, a big thanks
Nice vid man! Humour works well, effort in the editing, fun music choices. Keep going king
@@sindrisnrsigursson3079 this was so well extremely well done!
16:40 is such an incredible part that i think alot of us missed and makes Carmine's final scene have even more weight and just overall impactful. Bruce being recognized with no consequences as carmine dies with his secret is just so cool
Saw this movie in imax. When I walked into the theater, they told me that the ac is broken, 90 degrees in there, so I can get a refund if I want. Walked in and the theater was packed. Everybody was hot and sweaty but it was worth it.
Sounds like a pdiddy party
Sounds terrible .. Being stuck in a hot theater watching that movie. It was painful enough and I saw it at home with my vodka and water. Movie was so boring.
@@Fiveash-Art what was boring about it? It’s the most true-to-comic adaptation we’ve ever gotten out of a live action Batman movie. What’s not to love? Maybe you’re just not a fan.
@@SlickA10Homepage 'fan = fanatic' .. yeah, definitely not a 'fan'. Fans don't think objectively about the movies they watch. They also define themselves by the entertainment they consume. No, not a fan. You should see my Batman comics collection though.. It's massive. Stopped collecting around 2007, but had picked up everything and anything related to the character in comics from the mid 80s on. The movie is poor.
@@Fiveash-Art yes, fan is short for fanatic, but fan is also a popular slang term in western culture, often used to describe a person who likes a topic or subject.
haven’t seen your batman collection, so I can’t say anything about that. sorry, drax.
I used to trash this movie, I thought it was vastly overrated when it came out in theaters. I was the same as you, only now I had the feeling i needed to revisit this film. It is simple not a film for theaters, it deserves a more intimate experience at the darkness of your own room, headphones on 100%. Thank you for encapsulating all of that.
Andrew Garfield is the only Spider-Man you can see through the mask. I.E the bridge scene in TASM. Great vid bro. The best Batman I've ever seen.
This comment hits me perfectly as Garfield perfectly played "my" Spider-Man, especially the bridge scene, as much as Pattinson was "my" Batman. Both actors perfectly portrayed my mental image of their respective characters!
The Batman is a comic book masterpiece that captured the world of Batman perfectly. I love how tortured Robert Pattinson's Batman is. People forget that Bruce is a tortured character. The playboy billionaire thing is just an act. For the first time in live action we see the real Bruce Wayne. Also I love that Batman actually develops as a character in this movie. Usually in the movies Bruce Wayne gets all the development and Batman is just a background character. I love that Batman is front and center the entire movie. This movie is fantastic.
You're being pretty bias considering how Christian Bale did a good job of showing how much of a tortured character Bruce Wayne is in Batman Begins and how through the league of shadows he finds purpose.
@@nnnmmmable I love The Dark Knight Trilogy but I find Bale's Batman very lackluster. It's mostly the voice and fight scenes I have a problem with. Everything else is masterful.
the editing of the video is just pure chaos, I love it
I've always been a vibes-focused viewer when it comes to media. The Batman ticks all the boxes
I’m convinced it was raining all over the globe the week the Batman was released. Walking out of the Batman in the rain completely shitfaced was one of the the best evenings of my life
Seated for this one Comporio. I watched this movie in imax when it came out and I still can’t forget seeing the batmobile starting scene for the first time, the v8 + jet engine sound is seared into my brain
Rango is a masterpiece indeed
I was mocked endlessly for telling people in advance how good this was going to be. The director's work on "Let Me In" told me that this movie was going to be an incredibly visceral Batman film. People mocked me for saying Robert Pattinson was going to be a great Batman... but he had already proven himself to me MUCH more than his twilight role with films like 'Good Time', 'High Life' and 'The Lighthouse'. Great video, thanks.
I cannot wait for Mickey 17
I know how this movie is already a masterpiece, but the fact that the penguin spinoff is as good as it is blows my mind. Like it’s not perfect but oh my is it probably one of the better tv shows I have seen come out in recent years.
18:49 okay that was cool
I never realized there were so many mirroring shots
When I first saw gone girl I thought the halfway point was the end and then I checked there was an entire second half of a movie left and I was shocked when Amy did her monologue. Crazy movie. Batman is Sick 👍.
0:11 hats off to you for not seeing race
It’s just because all old guys look the same
Lol and yet someone had to bring it up for no reason anyway....
🤣🤣🤣
‘Martin’ Caine 😅
Apparently, you do…
didn’t regret a single moment, watching this in theaters for the first time! ⭐️10/10⭐️
It is insane that I'm only discovering this channel for myself now, I love everything about this structure. Subscribing and bingeing immediately
Join the club king 👑!
i never thought i'd see a better batman/superhero movie than the darkknight.. but the batman was exactly that.
dark knight 8.7/10
the batman 9.3/10
I didn’t expect this to be something I’d thrown on the tv often just to have something in the background. It’s blown my mind how the more you engage w this story/mystery/conspiracy, the more you’re rewarded. The attention to detail in creating this world is astounding, and reading Paul Dano’s Riddler comic as well as watching the Penguin HBO show, just enriches your appreciation for the world Reeves has created. I have zero interest in this Batman joining a wider DC movie universe; keep it in house with a tight lid, this thing is gold by itself.
As great as The Batman is, and it's a great freaking movie, but this is as great a video essay on why The Batman is a great movie. Fantastic job, sir.
What a well-made video, what fun visual and sound editing, it must have been a lot of work, but it was perfect, congratulations on the work
Christopher nolans the dark night, is an action crime thriller featuring batman and the joker. The batman 2022 is a Batman movie that we never knew we didn't get it until we saw it. In my opinion, the batman is the best superhero movie ever made. It can never get a sequel, and it will still be Perfect
Shut the f up 😂 fucking cringe take. Are you 12? The batman is dogshit on about 20 different levels
Completely agree. My favorite superhero of all time is Daredevil. My favorite comic book cinema of all time is the Daredevil series, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Batman. Nothing will ever top them, probably. The Penguin is phenomenal though and i can't wait for The Batman Part II.
The only superhero movie in recent times that has made me feel as tensed as when I watched the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox way back in 2014-15. My ass cheeks were clenched throughout the car chase sequence. Pure cinema.
The Batman was an incredibly immersive and visually stunning movie, the most realistic I've seen in theaters. The 2D experience was better than even the 3D of Avatar: The Way of Water. Movies like The Batman, John Wick Chapter 4, and Dune Part 2 are rare because they target mature audiences and make less money compared to mainstream blockbusters.
Just look at the numbers:
- The Batman: $772 million (should've hit $1 billion)
- Dune Part 2: $714 million (deserved $1.2+ billion) - The LOTR Experience
- John Wick 4: $440 million (should've made atleast $700 million)
But these movies are pulling in the big bucks:
- Jurassic World Dominion: $1 billion
- Doctor Strange 2: $955 million
- Deadpool and Wolverine: $1.33 billion
- Inside Out 2: $1.69 billion (Crazy isn't that?)
- Spiderman No Way Home: $1.91 billion
So, we might rarely get these amazing movies for mature audiences in the future.
Those last 5 movies you listed are all nostalgia bait movies as-well except maybe inside out 2 since idk I haven't seen it. Goes to show that a lot of people don't even want to take a chance on a great movie which is outside their comfort zone, which is funny because those first 3 movies are not exactly not mainstream either, they are just on the better side of what blockbusters should be in terms of quality.
these movies are kinda like an investment, the batman universe that will be created will bring more money in the future, flashy movies just get hyped by the monkeys and bring more money to the table but have no future value. think how much rewatchability the batman has in comparison to spiderman homecoming for example.
@@gaitaseksienniaduo9465 True.This is why a movie like Spiderman NWH has alot of nostalgia fluff.But don't have any rewatchability.
@@jakesully221-gr1vm Yeah, but The Batman and Dune , neither were 'great movies'. Their audience 'fans' are simply delusional. Both were nice looking movies but had nothing of substance. All style and nothing else. Pretentious boring blockbusters is all they were.
There is no such thing as literally great movie friend. A movie is a combination of arts, you cant just trash all the artists in a movie because you didnt like a specific section of it.there are people who focus on the good things the artists did in a movie and forgive mistakes, and then there are monkeys that just because the story didnt please their snowflake idea they had about it, they trash it along with every other artist who worked on it, and also it tells a lot about an individual when he spends his time hating and dooming movies he didnt like. @@Fiveash-Art
Fine. I’ll rewatch The Batman.
A bit off topic but the quality and editing of these videos are so great, especially for a smaller channel like this. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you sir!
My goodness man…. That part about falcon’s dialog matching up with his last moments!!!!’ That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say that - I was smiling ear to ear ❤
What bothers me most about the fans is that some REFUSE to give this movie credit simply because they're scared it'll be liked more than the Nolan trilogy, and that is just sad. This movie to me captures the true essence of the Batman the best. Sure the movie isn't a superhero peice like TDK, and it isn't as fantastical as the Keaton films, but this movies truly feels like the Arkham games.
As a former editor, I congratulate you.🎉 well done.
This is equal parts video essay and advanced shitposting. I love it
I've watched this movie about 7 times since its release, I loved it the first time i watched it and will always love it, I think one of the biggest reasons for its success is because it makes Batman seem like a realistic character, like if you could get enough money and enough training, YOU could actually be Batman. The cherry on top is their decision to make Bruce Wayne this depressed emo kid, which honestly just made him more relatable to a lot of young males, and it brought about a lot of memes. So the fact that Batman is someone you think you could be and Bruce Wayne is someone you already are, it justs hits home and feels extremely personal. Oh and the casting of Zoe Kravitz was spot on, as far as the male gaze goes
phenomenal vid!
Definitely one of the best movie essays I've watched 🔥🔥
Woah, those match frames at the end pieced together were straight attention to detail by Reeves and Fraiser, holy smokes it really a cinematic masterpiece
I’ve watched the Batman like 10 times. And every time I enjoy it and to me it’s the best Batman movie. Yes even better than the dark knight simply because they portray a realistic Batman. The penguin series locked that in for me and I can’t what for the Batman part 2
Explored great style & substance in a video that also perfectly uses both to get the point across, bravo 👏
It's my fav Batman film 🎥 even over Nolans. It's the look and tone I have been waiting years for. And the MCU to me now is average. Because this is a work of art!
Nolan's batman is leagues above this slogfest.
Heath leager was written much better than any villain in this film.
@@SKS_AI All subjective. Moving on!
@@mogg34y How tf is it a subjective opinion when Nolan's batman trilogy is ahead of this film in literally every objective metric you can think of.
1) Box office
2) Awards
3) Pop culture impact
4) Critics and User ratings
In every metric, Nolan's trilogy is ahead.
The Trilogy has so many iconic dialogues that 90% of Superhero edits on the internet literally use dialogues from those films. It's pop culture impact is insane.
While no one is even talking about this Batman film except DC fans.
@@SKS_AI Yep.. These people are such delusional fanboys.
@@Fiveash-Art😂 The irony of that statement. You can't have one person compliment this movie without someone else crying about "how much better TDK is." It's exhausting. Sure TDK was more of a superhero smash hit, THIS movie captured the true essence of Batman the best and it's not even close.
This movie is a visual masterpiece. It’s my favorite comic book movie, ever. You can think the dark knight is a better movie or has a better story, but when it comes to immersion, cinematography, fight scenes, and pretty much everything about the visuals, this movie is like a hydrogen bomb while the dark knight is like a coughing baby. Gotham actually feels like Gotham. And now that the penguin is out and fucking amazing, this world is only getting better
oh my God this video is the real masterpiece. everything from your music choices to your editing your commentary, everything is so on point. I really didn't like the Batman when I first saw it I didn't understand it I thought Batman was scrawny and it was just long for no reason and little by little I would see things on TH-cam that gave it a little clarity here and there, but when Colin Farrell's, the penguin came out, it changed everything then I understood but you the creator of this content unlike everyone else you really get it and you explain it to lay people that didn't go to film school that don't always get movies. a lot of us watch movies and we think of movie is good or we think movies bad but we never really understand the movie. I'm thinking that some movies if you truly understand them, movies that you thought were really good movies if you really knew what the movie was about you might think the movie's crap, vice versa a movie that you thought was really really bad you didn't understand it a lot of times and when you start to understand it or once it's explained and you go back and watch it again then you get this aha moment where the light comes on in your brain. same thing with books you read a book when you were younger you didn't really understand it you were like this is crap but then as you get older or you read a synopsis of it and you go back and reread it you're like well this is brilliant. anyway I'm just saying that this video and this movie is so well done I can't thank you enough I am watching this on October 24th 2004 and it made my whole night like I am so entertained but more importantly I am enlightened I feel like I'm in on something now, thank you
Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed it!
@@Comporio oh wow, didn't expect you to comment on my comment. Don't thank me. I'm actually thanking you thank you for the clarity The humor, and your wonderful editing skills. I thoroughly enjoyed your content. anyway have a good one and I'll watch more of the things you create.
The writing and editing of this video is stellar bro
So many folks would benefit from watching a movie more than once, outside of an echo chamber.
Loved this take so much.
Compared to that fast food marvel movies recently, The Batman stands tall on it ground
Your editing is why I come back to some of my favorite TH-camrs ! This is great ! Thank you !
ur editing is a masterpiece
it aged like fine wine ,i havent even rewatched it to realise it is a masterpiece
Spider-Man 2 and The Batman hit my soul in a way I can’t explain.
You, my dude, nailed it. I tried to explain all of this to my friends, but they just didn't get it.
Bravo for this video. The Batman is not just an amazing superhero/noire detective film, but it’s just pure beautiful cinema. Reeves & co really put their soul into not just this film, but the universe they’re building around it. Makes me even more excited we’ll probably be getting AT LEAST one trilogy.
Michael Keaton is my Batman, for the nostalgia and I grew up on his and Tim Burton's vision. I really enjoyed Christian Bale's take on the Legend with Christopher Nolan. When I first heard that Robert was going to play Bruce/Batman I knew as an actor that he could handle it, just wasn't 100% sure about his size, but he definitely "knocked it out the park"the world building and character's is top tier and the visuals and the sounds especially the little subtle sounds. Overall awesome "year 2" Batman, where you can see that Bruce is 100% invested in being Batman more than being the playboy millionaire Bruce.... just was awesome seeing this story unfold.
Even if it isn't my fave Batman movie, it's is DEFINITELY the most well shot. The visuals are insane and the camera work is phenomenal
The Batman deserved an oscar for cinematography. I can take any random shot from the movie and put it on my wall and it would be insanely good
It’s aging very well I know it’s not perfect but it’s damn close and it’s a sleeper hit it gets better the more you watch it.The cinematography is excellent and aesthetically pleasing, the acting and the character development is genius especially Robert Pattison’s performance and the world building of Gotham is excellent.
The films weaknesses are clearly studio interference but I’m sure they will let Matt Reeves cook for the sequel.
Seeing this on Imax the day before release was an insane experience. This movie is so pretty, it has such great cinematography.
It’s closer to Raw. It’s so well done that you can’t tell how polished it really is. As if they threw the actors in their respective settings and said “action”.
They don’t look like movie sets.
Agreed so many greats had played superhero with mask.
But till date no actor had conveyed more emotions than Pattinson and even if they did, none of their performances had left such an impact of audience.
Robert is one of the greats working today his career trajectory is possibly best in 10 last year's. He is a chameleon actor
The Batman is one of the best films ive seen in years, it just felt very different than any big blockbuster movies we get nowadays
as entertaining as _the penguin_ is, it just doesn't touch _the batman_ in cinematography... holy fuck - and the themes are much more resonant than just pure ego- / revenge-driven drama
Random fun fact about light sensitivity, you can also get light sensitivity from repeated concussions or a traumatic brain injury. So him being light sensitive also means he's taken a lot of hard hits.
What an incredible video! If I could point out just one misconception (encouraged by the movie's own marketing), it would be calling what's left of Bruce Wayne Batman. I would call him The Vengeance, referencing the clapper board used during filming and how he sees himself(Obviously you got it buuut i think it would be a nice tweak to the text). It's only at the end of the movie that we see the character realize that he needs to be much more if he wants to have any positive impact (learning Spanish is the first step, I would say hahaha).
18:21 that guys reaction sums up mine to this movie.
Couldn't agree less. This is a Punisher movie in disguise as a Batman movie. He is frequently the dumbest person in the room and him hitting his face at 20+mph on the underpass bridge - to have him walk away limping?
The worst part: Batman *isn't* a beacon of light. That's literally his thing, so to have him make that change also really doesn't make sense for the character. He isn't dressed up to inspire good guys, he's dressed up to scare bad guys.
How is he the dumbest person in the room? He is literally the one that keeps getting the mysteries solved. He only made one fatal mistake, and that's fine since this Batman hasn't actually faced this big of a threat.
"Batman isn't a beacon of light" That's literally his arc in the movie, realizing vengeance is not the way and only furthering the cycle of violence that Gotham has, and that he needs to become the symbol of hope that the people of Gotham need.
That slamming into the bridge scene really took me out of the movie. It was basically played for laughs in an otherwise serious/realistic movie. At the least he is paralyzed after taking that hit. delete that and it's near perfect.
Agreed bro! As much as I loved the Nolan films the fight choreography was the weakest part. That and how bland Gotham felt. It just felt like Chicago bc for the most part it was. Besides Batman Begins bc the narrows looked really cool. The Batman actually takes the time to develop Gotham as a character too. A dark, cold, rainy, neon, cesspool of crime and muck. And starts Bruce off as a heavily flawed character with noble intentions. The fight choreography, cinematography, and the overall atmosphere of ‘The Batman’ is superior, but the plot of ‘The Dark Knight‘, the writing, along with Heath Ledger’s Oscar worthy performance really took the film to heights rarely achieved. And while TDK is no masterclass in cinematography, it does have some very impressive shots. That to say The Batman is a very well made movie and I’m looking forward to seeing the Bruce Wayne persona developed in The Batman part II. Also here’s a hot take, Ben Affleck as Batman is my favorite live action adaptation of the character.
Of all superhero movies in recent times, THE BATMAN and Avengers - Engame are the only ones that I obsesively rewatched over time. Constantly revisiting them over and over. Trying to understand what this movie is about. This video is one of the best explanation on why I am obsessed with THE BATMAN.
This is a better Batman film than TDK and I'll stand on that
agreed
TDK gave this movie a template. The Batman is a better film because TDK exists imo.
i stand tall with u
This movie is better than dark knight ?! Yeah and Star Wars Disney is better than prequels. Gtfo this Batman was EMO and gay asf….
@@yitroyasharahla5404 Teenager detected, opinion discarded.
Finally someone who recognizes the shit quality of No Way Home
The fact that batman actually gets hits from punches, weapons and guns and bullets, you feel the impact on his body and then he still keeps fighting and tanks it like a chad is what made it so great for me.
Everything in this film was great. One of my favorite comic book films of the 2020s
Your edits are amazing
As a Batman fan this is a great video keep up the good work 💯
this editing simply gets me
I think the thing that made this movie was Robert Pattinsons commitment to wearing the batsuit. All the footage of Bruce Wayne we saw in the trailers truly were the only times, aside from maybe like one or two scenes, where he was actually Bruce Wayne. The majority of the time he was wearing that cape and cowl. He truly melted into that character. Even in this movie, the true identity of Bruce has always been debated on “who is the REAL mask” and I don’t think that would’ve sold if he didn’t wear the suit as much as he did.
Prince of Gotham during the day and Dark Knight during the night. Bruce Wayne “sleeps” during night while Batman “sleeps” during the day. Batman is the blanket that helps Bruce Wayne “sleep” at night.
@@petermj1098 also if I had a suit that cool I’d probably wear it all the time too
5:35 that cut had me dying
The editing in this video is amazing
This is the best looking film of the 2020s so far , fucking eye candy.
The camera being locked off to an object or person is called a Snorricam perspective :D
I didn't know that, thank you!
Gets better with every viewing; and now The Penguin show. This Saga is gonna be incredible.
It’s crazy you’re channel hasn’t even been active a year and your videos are so high quality
My only issues with this movie was the pacing of certain scenes and the transitions that felt kind of choppy, but other than that it’s the best pure batman film ever
I thought pacing was great IMO for what this movie was trying to be, only problem movie had was last 15-20 minutes. I don't think that part was necessary at all.
Pacing is an illusion and doesn't really exists
@@UncrownedKingDante yeah. I felt like some scenes couldve been cut shorter while having the same impact for ex) batman finding the last riddler card and carpet tool in the bat cage. It was unnecessarily long
@@samisirusbis1008 no
@@samisirusbis1008no it’s not an illusion. The movie does have poor pacing and the sequel could certainly take a lot of hints from the pacing of The Penguin episodes
I think it’s probably the best Batman movie. This is the way he and Gotham have been portrayed in the comics for decades, now. All the actors were great, beautiful cinematography, I loved everything about it. And Batman spent a lot of time doing detective work! Very cool. They really brought the perfect blend of gritty realism and the fantastic to it. Can’t wait for the next one, but I’m really loving Penguin in the meantime.
I love this movie so much because of all the attention to detail on top of this already well executed concept.
The Riddlers glasses were inspired by one of the first ever movie adaptations of the Riddler. The Batmobile itself was designed by render artist ashthorp, who previously worked on brutalist (vehicle) designs that perfectly fit the gotham aesthetic. It all just ties in together so well
I'll admit, when I saw the Batmobile for this universe, I was underwhelmed. But, when I heard it in the theater and that revving made my chest tighten up, I said "Well done, Matt. You got me."
Watching the theatrical re release was fucking amazing
