🦇 1:05:37 Your explanation of the end when Selina comes to save Bruce can easily be chopped to the directors decision to edit the scene with heightened suspense as presented during the Alfred explosion scene. Matt has already proven that scenes rhyme within "the batman" movie... so in conclusion, it wasn't that the goon took for ever but the 'adrenaline fueled scene' 😎💉 both literally and figuratively was stretched for artistic expression. 🦇
Yeah the car chase and batman being responsible for the deaths yet he explains to stick to his code
Hey @BobaTalks
There have been updates on the rataalada page where there is a percent count up which started on march 5th. It is rising. Atm it is at 25% but it rises every few hours. It seems as if at march 11th it will be 100%.
Above that there is a link leading to an image which sais "You think I am finished but perhaps you don't know the full truth Every ending is a new beginning. Something is coming"
Maybe there WILL be a new post credit scene
@Smart mouth I get into that in this video. Also, he's not the same guy who said he's vengeance towards the end btw 🙂
@Smart mouth I've got confirmation from the actor. And I prefer him not to be as to make Joe a Riddler goon too, is a bit too much. Leaving it as that church scene makes the theory in its entirety more enticing to me.
Personally I find the lack of a proper Bruce Wayne persona to be really refreshing. It sets the stage for him to step into a more traditional Bruce in the future. Similarly to how he realizes Batman can’t be a beacon of vengeance, but hope, he could realize there’s many ways to help people without the cowl. He can change the public perception of him being a spoiled rich kid sitting in his tower doing nothing to a philanthropist who, despite his family’s history, does everything he can to help the city of Gotham. Assuming we’re getting a trilogy, seeing Bruce act the same way for three films would get boring for me personally so I’m happy to see plenty of room for development.
That's what people not seeing he's meant to only focus on one persona because he's still young he has room to grow .
Yes can’t wait to see how he develops the Bruce Wayne aspect of his life, after avoiding it for so long!
Bro I've literally been saying the same thing Bruce will probably grow into his personas throughout the movies imo
@jrsayles I think it's more complicated than that. I think it's more gatekeeping, trying to claim authority over the character as they know him. But of course, there's Batman from the films, Batman from the animated series and other cartoon versions, Batman from the high-profile comics like Year One, and Batman from the comics dating back eight decades. What's canon for some is only a sliver of what others know of the character.
It also has a lot to do with wanting the comfort-food of the same Batman in the same kind of Batman movie they know and love, like it's a happy meal. But the truth is, most of us don't really want that. We want new takes, new interpretations that keep up with the current world. This character has been around since '39. If he didn't evolve, he'd never have survived. He'd have been a period piece, an out-dated bit of pulp like John Carter, or Li'l Abner, or Fu Manchu. But by presenting a familiar character, filmmakers inevitably invite objection to presenting them in a new way, even though that's the only way forward.
An analogy or plot comparison I found intriguing is when Riddler did the whole "you're not at smart as I thought you were" bit towards batman, I had the same thought about Riddler as he literally said Bruce Wayne over and over again but hadn't put together Bruce Wayne is Batman. I loved the fact that both characters literally missed a major detail because their focus was narrowed by their cause. Love that
Right! One more way the two characters were so similar. Everyone in the film only saw things only from their own self-involved perspective. So of course these two very smart people, by refusing to step into the other's shoes, were blind to one anothers' true motivations, and deepest secrets. Riddler saw only himself in the Batman, while Batman refused to see himself in the Riddler, so they were both unable to get the whole story.
Right on, good point….
Batman was to focused on taking down riddler more then saving people. So he slacked off when they already caught riddler. Then riddler was to focused on taking down the rich that when he repeatedly yelled the name Bruce that this genius couldn't even realize how batman was reacting.
That intro with Bruce narrating, and showing the criminals constantly fearing him being there even when he's not was awesome. Also, that moment when the Batmobile appeared..... that build up, with the firepower engine, and the bass blaring out of the cinema speakers, just sent shivers down my spine! So cool.
agreed. those r two of my favorite scenes in any batman movie low key
Definitely my favourite scene when the criminals are looking into the shadows and run out of fear it just show’s how much of a impact he truly has in just his second year
It was great BUT a little confusing too. The gang he fought in the opening weren’t even afraid of him, they didn’t even know who he was even he’s been known as a vigilante for 2 years and has a bat signal for everyone to see….
I did 4DX for the first time with this movie, on my 4th watch, and though I found it distracting overall it was pretty fkn great for the Penguin chase scene.
@Jeff's Royal Body Guard But they were talking about him on the news though. Especially with the bat signal you’d think he would know him by then.
When he's using Selena to infiltrate the lounge and he's talking to her while watching her remotely , it gave me really strong Batman Beyond vibes when Bruce would talk Terry through a mission
I totally agree lmfao 😂
Best Batman film EVER. It was a comic book come to life! This is WHO and WHAT Batman is and the fact that the movie ended with him having so much room to grow and evolve is perfect. I give it a 9.5/10! Masterful Work by all involved.
My favourite movie ever. It was seven but I’m also the biggest batman fan too so naturally this was always hold such a high place in my heart given the obvious inspiration by seven
12/10 for me
@@anonymouslyunknown4811 clown
@@crow_g1639 cry about it kid
Worse Batman movie of all. If you're Gen Z or younger I can understand liking trash but, for the older folks they know better, your Barman was a bundle of sticks for a bundle of sticks generation.
I think that with the riddler goon calling himself vengeance, bruce saw that he was having an effect on the city, but not in the way he wants. So after bruce heard that and helped the people he saw that he needed to become more, he needed to let go of the vengeance, and needed to become hope
Great take
It's basically the moral of the story and a lot of people have missed the nuance (though I think it was very obvious)
The batman is not a superhero film!! The batman is a crime thriller!! Really unique, realistic and fantastic!! Robert pattinson has become my favourite batman!! I want a sequel now!!
I concur by far the best BATMAN FILM!!!
It's a solid movie. But it's definitely not realistic
@@evanwagstaff8074 it’ll never be realistic in a sense that it’s still a comic book and fictional character at its core but it’s definitely realistic from the grounded point of view
@@evanwagstaff8074 I think in reality Matt Reeves' batman might exist!!
@@Geez1700 he takes an explosive to the face and sustains 0 damage after taking a 30 minute nap. He also flies head first into a bridge and then into a bus, to get up and walk away. There are some unintentionally hilarious moments in this.
Agreeing with you. The last act was great and absolutely vital to the arc of Batman. You’re the only one that’s mentioned the interrogation scene. I was fascinated by Batman being just sure he had been found out. It was only his silence that let the Riddler keep going so he realized he was still safe. Subtle but awesome.
That was a great scene. Bruce was sweatin' pretty good and then was visibly relieved when he realized Riddler didn't know.
Such a masterpiece of an adaption of Batman’s psyche and character. His journey from vengeance to justice feels more BATMAN than any other Batman film. Not to mention his internal monologue with nirvana playing in the background felt like something straight out of a damn comic book.
That scene with Bruce driving through Gotham on the motorcycle in the rain while Nirvana plays might be the best thing I've seen in a movie ever.
Indeed, the whole movie seemed like a damn comic book. Best cbm in history.
100% agree - in fact I LOVED the narration. I've always felt that Batman's inner monologue was an integral part of the story aesthetic in the comics (old fella here - started reading Batman around 1978), and I've always wanted to see that element used in a Batman movie.
This did not disappoint.
@@TheSufferBrothers2 Wow that’s sick, I’m definitely a huge fan of the old comics. Neal Adams’s 70’s stuff is what got me into the comics. The narration here hit hard.
The reprise of Something In the Way at the end when Vengeance narrates about the city underwater and the national guard and martial law, etc, was amazing.
I've seen the film 3 times now. And I genuinely, wholeheartedly, am having major issues finding any critiques I have about it. Maybe it's because I had a very clear understanding of what this film was going to be as far as character archs and plot decisions. And a huge part of that is because of this channel.
For me, this is by far the most accurate, and definitive Batman movie/depiction that has even been filmed in live action. And its not even close. It was the first time I felt like I was actually watching Batman from the comics on screen. Just his presence alone is intimidating, methodical, deliberate, scary, and in control. The same can be said about Selena/Catwoman. She seriously felt like the character from the comics. Particularly from Year One. The Riddler is fucking terrifying, yet brilliant. The Penguin is absolutely fantastic! I absolutely love this iteration of the character! And this was by far the best Jim Gordon. I'm seriously STILL blown away by this film and what Matt Reeves was able to accomplish.
Now, the third act.....
I think the third act of this film is absolutely perfect as a springboard for the character development of this Batman. We literally see his development into the more heroic side of his super human drive. The moment where he sees the wires about to fall into the water and kill a bunch of people, and he immediately acts, and puts himself in danger, is incredible. To see that, and to watch him save those people, and lead them to safety after the first 2/3s of the film, was genuinely emotional. And it was that same little boy to be the first to trust him, and take his hand. I honestly don't understand why people are having issues with the third act. I thought it was fucking brilliant.
I too, don't want to come off as a shill, but im being 100% honest when I say that I don't have almost ANY issue with ANYTHING about this film. But again, I think its because we (this community) have a deeper understanding of what the goals were in this film, and what Matt Reeves was attempting.
It's by far my favorite Batman film, and Robert Pattinson is easily my favorite Batman. This is actually my favorite comic book movie of all time. With Joker coming in right behind it.
I applaud every single member of the production team and all of the actors involved in this film. It's as close to flawless a film can be, for my particular taste and what I find interesting/appealing in movies. Absolutely incredible film!
#TheBatman
I agree. This was a dark epic crime noir masterpiece. Batman Begins was always my favorite and while this film is still fresh in my mind, I seen it twice and liked it even more the 2nd time. I think the Batman was every bit as good as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. When I close my eyes and envision Batman, I picture what Pattinson became in the role.
Well said, SAN. 👍
100% agree with everything you wrote!
@@ezy002 thank you. I genuinely love this film 🙏🙏🙏
YES
Personally, the third act was great to me because Batman fails to stop riddler's plan and it really ratchets up the tension to an insane degree. Lots of people die and Batman becomes a symbol of hope to Gotham.
It was also nice that while there was obviously action it wasn't just a 20 min long CGI fight scene and Batman still didn't totally "win" as he still didn't manage to stop the bombs going off but we still got to see Batman growing
Clearly people haven’t watched many noir films even though they enjoy the first 2/3 the most, because a ton of classic film noir is putting the protagonist through a wringer of mystery for most of the movie and then a psychological revelation and growth in the end. Exactly what happened
exactly, ive seen people saying like how was batman so far behind in his detective work... because hes following clues, every detective is always 2-3 steps behind the person committing the crimes.
@@slade6959
That's a good point. I loved this ending because despite going the absolute distance both physically and psychologically, they protagonist doesn't quite succeed, things are arguably as bad as they have ever been and the "hero" will just have to make do with that because that's life.
Or, to put it another way: "Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown".
This movie was classic noir. Forget it Batman, it's Gotham.
I loved how vulnerable and fallible Batman was in this film. Him leading everyone out of the water at the end was just flat out amazing
I've seen it twice and still can't believe it was a 3 hour movie! Time flew by watching it.. unlike The Dark Knight Rises which felt like an 8 hour movie.
And not even 5 minutes in I was completely sold. That opening monologue, and the criminals being scared of the shadows, was just PERFECT!
I’m thinking about the opening scene. Best opening scene for a movie ever. It in-captures the fear that batman and riddler uses but through different methods. AND BOTH WERE IN THE SHADOWS!!! showing there similarities, I know why riddler say he wants to team up. It makes sense but riddler targets the elite and batman the impoverish thugs.
Yeeees!! It didn’t feel like 3 hours, because it was so DAMN GOOD and ENTERTAINING
Come to think of it, it’s actually kinda interesting that as much as the Riddler despised the Wayne’s because of what had happened in the past with the orphanage. And how he saw Bruce as not a proper orphan because he lived above the city with luxury instead of the squalor of an old Orphanage. And Edward constantly trying to one up and get out of the shadow of the Wayne’s He ultimately ends up still being both growing up and being imprisoned in the shadow of the Wayne family. As the orphanage he grew up in was formerly Wayne Manor, and him later being locked up in Arkham State Hospital. The latter being Martha’s maiden name and birth family. As revealed in the film’s prequel book He hated living in an orphanage that used to be the Wayne’s family home. But now he’s imprisoned in Arkham which is another location related to the Wayne’s because it has Martha’s family name. No wonder he’s obsessed with Bruce & Batman because as much as he tries he’ll never escape his shadow.
I personally loved the 3rd act. That interrogation scene was incredible to me. I've seen people comment that the riddler was overacting. It didn't feel that way at all to me. He felt unhinged in an almost controlled way. Which was kinda how I thought he was through the whole movie.
I love how much potential there is for this universe with all the Easter eggs and setup. I could totally see a story with Bane in the future where he gets venom from Wayne enterprises and Bruce blames himself for all the damage Bane does
i hope they portray bane as an intelligent and cunning guy he is (kinda like how the dark knight rises handled him except comic book accurate and not white-washed) basically arkham origins bane but more grounded in reality!
You know. This was my favorite representation of Batman from any media. But I think making a better Bane than the Bane from The Dark Knight will be a task. But hey, they managed to make The Batman heroes and villains better than the movie portrayals from the past, in my opinion, so they could do it with Bane, too.
His relationship with Gordon has never been done this well, the scenes they share are gripping every time
Literally could feel their trust building for each other throughout the film.
One of my biggest complaints about the film is that I desperately wanted more of that friendship, a deeper understanding of how it came about, and more focus on what it means to both of them. These days, Bruce's bond with Alfred is kind of his father surrogate, but I always loved the old Batman/Gordon bond. In the Animated series, that's the real father surrogate connection. Alfred is more of a kindly uncle. I find there's something problematic about projecting father-figure status on an employee. A parent figure needs to set limits, and Gordon should be doing that more with Batman.
But I can't think of a more brilliant casting for Gordon than Jeffery Wright. "I still don't know who you are, man." What a great characterization.
From my perspective as someone who lost parents at a young age, I related more to this Batman in a way I never have with any other. I usually liked the villains more than Batman in every Batman movie. This one was so different, and while I guess there may seem to be less duality for Bruce/Batman, I really felt his demeanor and behaviors dealing with their (his parents') death and his age was very accurate. At his age, there are so many things that your parents are supposed to be there for, and it really makes you feel withdrawn and isolated from everyone else in the world. You're looking for your identity with little to no real guidance, you're angry and melancholy. His behavior as an orphan, now in his 20s, was so much more real to me in this Batman than it has seemed to me than in the others -where he's a playboy by day and a vigilante by night.
im so sorry for your loss. thank you for sharing how this story impacts you
Saw it last night and I’m still speechless. The score, performances just everything was perfection and exceeded my expectations plus more. Don’t remember the last time I was on edge for the full length of a film. The batmobile revving was just 🤌
Best batman movie ever. The more I think about it, the more I love it. I cried a few times. It was everything I wanted. 2/3 years of waiting payed off
@jrsayles I know 😭😭 but Yh we r getting 3 tv shows on the batverse tho 😍😍 the world building is getting bigger and better. I can’t wait for the trailer for the second movie, it’s gonna break the internet
Isn't the weird old man at the funeral the same person who is later in the Riddler outfit and says "I'm vengeance"? (that would also explain his surprised pikachu expression because he knew that the Riddler was planning on killing Bruce next)
This. The joe chill theory would be cool but I think this makes way more sense and how I interpreted the scene. Them lingering on the dude made me feel like we’d see him again. His silhouette as the camera pulled back almost matched the silhouette of Riddler gazing down on Bruce at the funeral. I think that was the connection being drawn.
That guy was much younger in the stadium battle. Not the same guy.
It was absolutely the same the guy. That was the point. The connection of the singular conversation. And ending with him echoing the “I’m Vengeance”
I’ll be seeing it for the second time in 3 hours. This is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to watch a movie more than once at the cinema.😁😁
The riddler goon took his time because he was in awe of being so close to the Batman. He had to catch himself to remember to put the bullets in. If all of the goons are riddler’s disciples, then Batman is their god.
riddler (their lord and savior) was inspired by batman, so you have to assume there's some type of reverence from his followers towards batman
Absolutely right.
I feel like the people complaining about the portrayal of Bruce or the third act, just want to be spoon fed the same old plot points. Or aren’t really fans of the comics. It was a beautiful film. Can’t wait for the future, which Reeves and Pattinson say is planned out.
Agreed, audiences are so used to the blockbuster format that films like this go over their heads in a lot of places
I don’t have a problem with the third act cuz its something they haven’t done before i have a problem with the third act because it makes everyone fucking stupid
Great video. My 2 cents right before I'll watch your analysis. My main critiscm of this movie (beside some cliched things like speeding up batman x Selina relationship without earning it naturally) is that they made the same mistake as Nolan with DKR. Meaning, they did the same thing with Riddler as with Bane but here they did it to the extreme. For 3/4 of the film Riddler is actually better Batman than the Batman himself? First one truly fights corrupt Gotham while the latter just beats some goons on the streets. Because his motivations are not so insane in a vacuum they had to turn his insanity level to the maximum with the last act. Where he goes full psycho, recruiting internet shooters with intentions to kill civillians and not corrupt ppl he was chasing all a long up until this point. What is more they never dig deeper into the chat that the new mayor had with Bruce at a funeral. About doing more as a billionaire-civillian. It would be nice to show that he grew to be not only the symbol of hope but also a man that is doing good to change the city, outside of his Batman work. Beside that I'm absolutely in love with this film, I finally got a 'product' I always wanted so can't really nitpick too much.
I just love this Batman take, and how it ended was a perfect way to do even more films as he finally says he needs to do more which for me will spark him to do more as Bruce himself as at the start of the film he felt like only Batman was the way to help people in Gotham. So many detailed perfections of this take of Batman, feels so grounded and human
It's like Reeves too the absolute BEST things about each past Batman and made the perfect version.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 his mind
For a moment there The Riddler was the real hero of the movie. He’s single-handedly cleaned up The Filth of Gotham. Something The Batman himself couldn’t do.
Except Riddler didn't clean up anything. Lol
@@gio3199 wdym elaborate? He killed off a few people, but that doesn't rid Gotham of the filth. That's the villain, he didn't have noble intentions, he's not trying to help Gotham. That's adressed directly in the movie.
@@zacwhite4470 Agreed, they have the same surface level motivations but the results they desire are completely different. Riddler wants to “unmask the truth about this cesspool we call a city” (funny how he quite literally turned it into a cesspool by flooding it) but his goal is to simply expose people and the filth that comes with it and then destroy the city that specifically those people built. Batman wants to change his city he wants people to be better and be more kind and actually inspire the people of Gotham to save their city. Riddler wants them to destroy it and eat it alive.
@@donjon1179 exactly, there's nothing even vaguely heroic about the riddlers intentions in this film.
Regarding what you mentioned about Bruce and Batman not being very different, it was key to show how broken the man is, how big the trauma is and how it really drives his whole existence (you've got to be in a really dark place to dress like a bat and go fight crime). It is due to the events of this film that he then realizes he has to change in order to succeed in saving the city, thus embracing his Wayne persona in service of his goal, so the film leaves the character in the perfect place so that we can see a fuller Wayne/Batman duality in the next movies to come. Spot on performance.
Still, if you want to see the difference in this film, you just have to compare both scenes where he says, "Know who I am?"
Loved that scene where alfred is about to open that letter where he is about to get blown up and batman is just racing towards alfred in his batmobile .. gave me arkham origins vibes
every scene between alfred and bruce made me borderline cry, especially the hospital scene
I like how he speaks in his normal voice on the phone
What a journey it's been to this movie, also this was the definitive Batman, nobody else has played the character like this before
Beautiful
This whole vid feels like a culmination of everything Boba is great at, fast paced, Interesting points, and the ability to have us listen to him talk for over an hour without getting even slightly bored. That's a skill right there. Keep up the great work Boba, can't wait for whatever vids come after the Batman
Can we please give Jeffrey Wright his flowers, he was a great commissioner Gordon
Amazing
Perfect casting. He does world-weary so damn well.
I want so bad to hear Pattinson say "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!" on screen. Loved this film true piece of art, and a great start for this iteration.
I felt the last act was great. The riddler is no match for Bateman in a fight so there was no reason for it. It was about the Riddlers EFFECT on Gotham that was his final true battle.
exactly. it was tasteful and perfect. and the story and reasons behind how it all played were perfect as well. people are so dumb lol. i just picture some goober genuinely disappointed he didnt get a physical showdown between the batman and riddler
Bateman?
*Batman
When the Penguin started waddling due to the wrist and ankle zip ties I started dying
He had a waddle all the way through. That's why he has the nickname. The waddle suggests someone cut his achilles tendon, which is a horrifying thing to do. It makes you a cripple for life.
My theory about the character is that he was brutally tortured for information, and didn't give up his boss. And that's why he's so disgusted with Falcone for being a rat. Gangster code means never, ever talking to the cops, not even about your worst enemy. Falcone committed a cardinal sin doing that. He ruled the city, but he was bound by no law, not even the law of criminal honor. I suspect that will be a major theme in the Penguin TV show.
What a journey it's been! After all the coverage through the months leading to it you have had the best channel for the batman I saw it yesterday I absolutely loved it thankyou for all your time and effort you have put into your channel I hope you get your 100k subscribers soon :)
Watched it twice already. Love it. All the acting, sets, great camera work and the Gotham they made. Great movie. 4 outta 4
I honestly have no words, completely blown away …Robert did his THING! I was beyond impressed! I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he gives Christian Bale a run for his money. 10/10🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just saw it! Literally speechless. It was so much better than I expected.
The plot was amazing!!!
Some People thought film should have ended after capture of Riddler that’s why some didn’t like 3rd act, to me it felt like Seven you think everything is good cuz John Doe surrenders and captured should end but he has other plans and ending is great for characters arcs the same could be said about this 3rd act in my opinion. That whole act was tense and felt like when real snipers killing people at a live event/concerts and Bats saving every one becoming a true symbol of hope was awesome
Enjoyed all videos you have been doing from the very start and still enjoying these hour long videos as well! keep going Boba!
For me, I like the fact that the Riddler wasn't in the Garden because it showed how much influence the Riddler had. It also made it feel more scary because in our world right now, a man like Riddler can really influence a few people to act with violence. It was realistic which made it scary.
I'm hoping for a "I as Bruce Wayne will be the day/the light"... and in direct contrast a "I am the night" with Batman. I would love for him to not go by "Batman" for the next movie still. And in the 3rd and last movie he leans fully into being Batman.
This would furthermore echo the
"I am Vengance (Movie 1), I am the Night (movie 2), I am BATMAN (the grand finale)"
Even if it doesn't come to this, I'm fully exited for what Matt Reeves has planed with the character and I trust him 100%
This
Your discussion & breakdown was interesting to listen to... & well explained... good job
I loved the 3rd act. Loved this review bro! I hope we get a sequel so you can continue these awesome videos. Can't believe this movie is finally alive and breathing.
Scene with Riddler and Batman talking through the glass just leaked on here. I’m sold. Dano is terrifying.
1:05:30 I think that Robert purposely talked like Bruce to convey his surprise and also show he was personally happy that she was contacting him (rather than just Batman regaining an ally)
Yeah I was thinking that too. Not only that but Selina doesn't know Bruce and she can't see him obvi
this video was a TREAT!!! thank you SO much for all your time and passion on it! I've been such a huge batman fan for so long but have honestly not been that much of a fan of any live action so far (yes, even nolan... sorry) and this film did absolutely EVERYTHING I could want!! I'm so happy to say I actually have a live action batman I care so so so much about! loved every element of it!! such a great surprise!
Hello you! I'm so glad to see that you vibed with it so much. It really is my favorite vision/outlook on Batman too with the perspective & plans Reeves has with his Batverse. I can't wait for more :D
Boba! Just wanted to say thanks for all the awesome content you’ve put out over the years following this movie! Thanks for being an awesome part of the Batman community, keep it up 🦇👍🏻
SUPER-EXCELLENT review ... (Unbelievable how much you're able to talk about the details of this movie)
Thanks man been stuck on this level for three days rlly helped
Been waiting all week for this 🙏🏽
Loving these vids as always boba 👍 would like a vid on potential villains as matt reeves said he wants to do hush. Pattinson said he thinks it'll be court of owls and with venom in universe looks like a nod to a bane story. Can also see a Joker Riddler team up but they'll probably add more people to their team. (think sinister six) imagine Batman's very own sinister six don't know what they'd call it??? But yes something like that
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Nice, was waiting for this!
Thanks for the content boba!
Hope you enjoy the video, thank you for watching!!
I had my reservations regarding the final act when I first watched it, thinking it'd be better if either Riddler was there, or if they removed the henchmen entirely. But there's something that happened in the film that, after thinking about it, made me realize what the movie was really going for. It was the scene where Batman was beating Riddler henchman up and removes his mask, and the henchman says "I'm Vengeance". People are trying to adopt the same mantra as Batman, using fear to bring about change but in dangerous ways. It was to show Batman how he's been going about his Gotham project all wrong, that fear is not enough to change Gotham. You need hope as well. Which led to Batman saving people from the flood and becoming a hero, a symbol of hope. I love this movie. I can't wait to watch it again.
The first time I saw it, I thought the riddler knew that he was Bruce. Second viewing it was a lot clearer and realized he didn’t. But I could see how people would think that after only one viewing.
Boba Talks awesome video dude and I definitely loved this movie and I can't wait to see the next ones That Matt Reeves is going to make and I sat through this entire video to the end. 😀👍🙂🦇
Love your content bro! Keep'em coming 🙌🏾

Boba you've put in so much work covering this movie, while I want to thank you. I hope you can find some time to rest. These are full of detail and love, you can tell by the videos how much you truly cared about this movie and even listed your nit picks. HATS OFF TO YOU!
Great video, man! Took me two days to go through though, haha. But truly a fantastic video!
I thought Falcone admitted to being the one to kill Selina’s mother, when he got on her to strangle her he said something along the lines of “it hurts me to do this to you, just like it did with your mother”. Am I just remembering this wrong lol? So I think the scratches being from Selina’s mother is totally accurate
I noticed that too and it was the same way he killed Annika
You’re correct. I went to check to see if anyone else caught this but I’ve seen it three times, heard it all three. My girlfriend didn’t see it the first two times tho, she said she gasped and didn’t hear him. I’m assuming same thing happened here. But it is 100% in the script. Good catch
Been waiting for this
After a second viewing all the little things that annoyed me the first time aren't an issue. The sound design is even more incredible on a second viewing, the way they mixed 90s grunge/classical music, and the little things like amplifying Batmans footsteps make such a difference. Also it struck me just how alike Riddler/Batman are, both being driven by a need for justice. Except Riddler gives in to his darkness, Batman fights his.
I think Selina missed because she aimed at his head when you're supposed to aim center mass. Also didn't Falcone say to Selina that he killed her mother?
Yes he dud
1:02:30 As someone who carries a gun daily, Selina missing her shot wasn’t a big issue for me. She knew how to take out the mag and look to see if it had bullets, but that’s like the bare minimum of gun knowledge lol. She didn’t actually take the gun apart or anything (not that she needed to).
She’s right handed (iirc). She fired at his head and it went to the left. That’s a very common problem with handguns in the right hand; it’s from a bad grip and trigger squeeze. Mime a gun in your right hand and yank your finger back fast; you’ll notice your hand twitches left slightly. She probably did that instead of a light squeeze like you’re supposed to do.
Also, it happened right as the lights went out.
So yeah. Didn’t really bother me, but I can see it bothering people who’ve never shot a gun before lmao 🤣
Also, Falcone did confirm he killed Selina’s mom. You’re definitely right when you thought of the poetic symmetry with the clawing.
Damn! Great catch. That’s so cool Bruce unknowingly met Joe Chill, the man that killed his parents and his life
Been waiting for this review! 🔥
Man, I’ve been watching your videos since Gotham season 3 (won a giveaway one time as “TheRedHoodGamz”) and I can’t believe we’re here now in 2022. I watched the movie last night and I was blown away and it was everything I wanted and more. Thank you for your constant coverage of the movie, I honestly think it made elevated the experience more for me. Always loved the videos man and I’m excited for you to reach 100k because you and your channel absolutely 1000% deserve it. Keep it up man, and from a long time fan, I wish you the best of luck for the future.
Theories are fun. Thank you for sharing over the years
I've been waiting for this

Most excellent review!
I honestly couldn't agree with your thoughts on this film more.
I found this to be the most intelligent Batman film to date, and the most definitive Batman. The writing, direction, cinematography, score, acting, character portrayals, story arcs, etc, were all excellent. There is nothing lazy about this film. Loved the attention to detail. Adored the artsy noir factor. While it was gritty, dark and grounded, the humour was there and it retained a comic feel and stayed faithful to the canon in all the important ways.
I honestly get the impression that many who erred on the side of dissatisfaction with the film did not know they were going to see a noir detective pov driven artsy Batman film. If you knew what type of film you were going to see, I just don't understand how you would not enjoy it. It's all subjective though and we all have different tastes.
Just re a few of your nitpicks - it's much harder to be accurate with a handgun than a longarm, even at close range, unless you are practiced, and adrenaline can cause shaky hands etc. Also re the Bruce voice over comms with Selina - I thought that his accidental lapse in Batman voice mode, essentially dropping his guard a little, was a nod to the real connection he felt to her.
You have earned my subscription, sir! Well done, great video
Welcome! Thank you 😃
So I was a close contact for covid and I missed out on my opening day tickets. I finally saw it last night and was completely blown out of the park by how great it was. It was so different to anything we’ve seen before and it was so refreshing for some reason. After a second watch I think I’ll love it even more
I'm not sure what I was more addicted to, the anticipation of finally watching this movie or your latest The Batman video dropping. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, before you finally saw this movie, no one has in the history of TH-cam talked more about five minutes of movie than you did for the last couple of years. Now you have the whole 3-hour movie to talk about. So, here I go for another hour-plus. Damn you, Bobes.
I got pretty emotional twice in this, first time with Bruce and Alfred in hospital when he grabs his hand, the second when he saves people from the flooding and carries that girl who was scared to let go of him, reminded me of the Justice League series when he carries Ace
The interrogation scene were we assumed the Riddler knew Batmans identity was hilarious because the look in his eyes was as if to say “I gonna either have to hang up my cape and give up this vigilante role, or destroy the camera footage and somehow rip out Riddlers tongue”. But when he realised that the Riddler didn’t really know you saw the sigh of relief 😮💨 😅
Loved this movie and super enjoying your takes!! For the Bruce not changing into his bat voice for Selena, I took it as a combination of him being caught by surprise, in his place of comfort (bat cave), and talking to someone he wants to trust, culminating in his guard falling a bit and Actual Boy Bruce coming through.
For the Batman making a grand entrance into the garden through the ceiling, I thought when watching it that it was the riddler goon’s munitions that caused the explosion since glass showered into the crowd. One or some may have placed them without the rest knowing. But in hindsight that also makes Batman’s entrance at that exact moment totally wild. Another thought: like a burst shot gadget meant to break through windows like that? But because he’s still like becoming aware of consequences he didn’t take into consideration glass showering a crowd below. It’s all a bit of a reach, and I never even considered the moment til you brought it up, so thank you for making me think about this movie EVEN MORE.
For the comedy aspect of this movie, I loved it, I think it plays well on Bruce not being able to interact with people at all, and as Batman he’s trying to be an Adult and it’s awkward and great. #thumbdrive
Having seen it today, the more aggressive version of the music you use in the background from the film, now lives rent free in my head.
As for the film itself I really loved it, definitely up there as one of the best Batman films. I do kind of agree with those that the 3rd act does feel different and doesn't quite live up to the first 2, but still enjoyable. Pattinson might be my favourite Batman, but maybe not my favourite Bruce.
Really hoping the 2nd chapter does feature the Joker, as Barry Keoghan sounds and the glimpse of his appearance look great.
The part with him speaking like bruce to Selena I just thought was because hes just had a really emotional thing to him, and he contacted her. I felt he was reaching out for human contact with the one other person he could beside alfred. Also the batmobile revving reminded me of a dog at the end of its chain or leash trying to attack while being held back and it along with the boot sound are my favorite of the entire sound design
This the best Batman story where they explore the World's Greatest detective storyline. I enjoyed the Riddles that Nashton setup for Batman and Gordon where you had that dynamic duo aspect similar to Ellen Yin and The Batman from the " Riddled" episode as The Riddler want to test the intellect of Gothams new protector. Then with Oswald Cobblepot it was straight up Godfather with him being like Fredo Corleone who wants recognition and attention. His rise to Power starts now. One thing I found interesting was during the funeral scene for the Mayor the BTS showed Selina Kyle as the escort for Carmine Falcone but during reshoots they changed it with another actress as they wanted to make the connection of Selina being Falcones daughter like The Long Halloween.
20:43 the exact same thing happened to me as well...I was very happy to hear the song in the movie not once but twice!
Even with such a large cast, the amount of screen time characters do/don't get you have to get credit to the fact all of them get meaningful/important moments. They're not just shoe-horned in
There's this another line that had me rolling on the floor 'el rata alada' you are el , URL xD
Clicked on this as soon as the notif popped up
Watched the movie last night yesterday and been waiting to watch this lol
#thumbdrive ✌🏾
Damn that’s a good way to explain the feeling of the third act. I love this movie, but I also felt like the 3rd act felt different. You explained it perfectly, the status quo changed, and we didn’t really know where it was heading. I love the execution though
I believe it to be confirmation that falcone killed selina’s mother. She talks about how her mother was strangled, and then later on they specifically say that her friend is being strangled in the recording. And it sounds like falcone is doing it himself
He says “you made me do it , just like your mother “ when he was strangling Selina with the pool stick , so yes he killed her mother
@@Lilcrazy99 I noticed this, but only payed attention to it second and third viewing
The score and cinematography are so off the charts great … so well done. Loved the story telling as well … more detective than superhero
I've had the chance to watch now, so I can finally enjoy a review! So here I am, at my favourite DC news and review channel!
I did thoroughly enjoy the film! It was better than I expected it to be. I'm not overly convinced with Pattinson's Bruce or his Bat, but I'm not letting that detract anything from the quality of the actual film itself!
I forget what you said to hashtag, but #thehashtag lol
Awesome review buddy!
Dying to watch it man but not going to see the Batman until Tuesday buzzing for it and loved all the work you have put in to this film with the vids and updates keep up the good work mate 👌🦇
Amazing viedo as always my friend 😀 The Batman is amazing #Thumb Drive
Boba I’ve been watching your videos since you started your discussion vids about the movie from trailer breakdowns when we finally got them to this video talking about the movie in full depth it’s been an awesome ride you truly helped build the hype for the batman keep up your fantastic work🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥 #thumbdrive
The fact theres few critiques means Matt's vison was so precise so planned out the postive out weighs the small negatives
Boba you think the guy at the funeral could in fact be Tomas Elliot? And maybe just by watching how Bruce reacts during the attack. Saving the kid and not flinching when the phone rings combined with what the riddler reveals he figures out Bruce is Batman and becomes hush because of the Hush money the riddler references
It was The Riddler dude
Something I’ve seen zero people mention is the pictures The Riddler has on the thumb drive of Colson and then the Commissioner. They’re all from the same angle and clearly taken from his apartment window which he shot Falcone from. Nobody thought from where the photos were taken? Little nitpick but I found it funny lol.
Hey Boba, one thing I haven't seen many people mention is the similarity between this Batman and the one from Batman:Imposter (A black label DC comic which came out last year)
That because the writter of the book is a unnamed writter of the movie in an earlier draft
Riddler did know. Boba he said "everyone is trying to unmask you but you AND I know this is the real you." He hammered home that he knew but didn't care. He figured they were partners. Listen closely to his rant about Wayne. It was him setting up the alibi. He watched him the entire movie going in and out of Iceberg 3 times himself and once with just Selina. Bruce couldn't even look him in the eye.
I watched it with my sister and then my wife. Both of them asked why he did that (when he cut the power line). I was like uh to save all those people. He immediately after coming back from the brink looked at all these people and went to save them not telling Gordon, Selina or anybody there. That scene was powerful. One of the best of the whole movie.
Cool review man and I agree with most of what you said. Anayways, glad I got to see the Batman movie I'd been imagining for decades finally made into a real film. What a masterpiece.
When Selena missed Falcone, at that exact moment Bruce shut down the power for the entire building. So I believe, that's the reason Selena missed. Earlier Batman told Gordon, "I have to stop her." or something along those lines, and Selena missing her shot is showing how Batman was BARELY able to save Selena from crossing the line.
Thanks for all your videos!
