Batman’s arc in this movie is perfectly surmised by one consistent bit of physical acting 1.) Bruce is visibly squinting in the entire scene where Alfred is trying to decode the first cipher because of daylight streaming in from the windows (“Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal”) 2.) At the end, when Bruce is helping the woman being airlifted, he’s looking up, clear and wide-eyed in the daylight Vengeance in the night -> Hope in the light
this made me tear up. this is also exactly why I'd trust this batman with a baby acrobat. he has so much room for growth and at no point does the movie make you feel like he's set in stone like the other live action batmen.
2 things: 1. It’s awesome as hell that both Batman and the Batmobile get basically the same intro, where you hear them before you actually see them. Absolutely pitch perfect Batmobile sequence with perfect build in tension. 2. Love how subtly funny Bruce is in this, contrasting how dour he is. Constantly turning phrases and being a smartass, but not in a cocky way, more biting. “Alright, I got you on assaulting an officer!” “You got me on assaulting three”
idfc what people says about the movie. I love this movie so much, I think this is a great movie and I don't get the hate this one's getting. this is an immature version of Batman/Bruce Wayne, it's his sophomore year for fuck sake. his gadgets aren't that hi-tech just yet, his fighting skills aren't really that honed just yet, and he's too emotional compared to the other Batman where they are already completely incorruptible especially the Christian Bale's Batman in The Dark Knight. people really need to realize this one, that this is a young Batman who's just thinking he can avenge his parents by punching random thugs in the face or getting surrounded by 20 thugs and tell them "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"
Paul Dano is finally getting the praise he truly deserves. Dude has been so underrated for a decade, glad that his Riddler performance was highly praised
I wasn't excited for another Batman movie, didn't even watch the trailers or read news about it, but the moment I learned that Paul Dano was going to be in it I knew he was going to kill it. Loved him in Prisoners. And this one ended up being my fav Batman movie.
He’s underrated solely because he wants it that way. He’s one of the few actors in Hollywood that wishes to and also has the privilege to choose role that interest them. Anyone who has seen There will be Blood and knows how Paul earned that role understands how utterly talented he is.
I will never stop raving over this movie. The shot as he literally leads the people of Gotham out of the darkness is absolutely beautiful. Bruce’s realization that being “Vengeance” is not actually creating good in the world and that if he truly wants to make the world a place where nobody has to lose their parents he needs to be better. He needs to care more, he needs to be Batman.
AND he needs to be Bruce Wayne. This movie was him realising what he needs to embody as Batman, but the sequel will have to show what he can do as Bruce, since this movie showed us a Bruce who didn't really know what to do with the massive power that comes with being a billionaire
@@Senny_V I think that would be a really strong sequel. I think, especially in this day and age of increasing inequality, showing Bruce learning to use his wealth to affect actual tangible change on the lives of others would be amazing. Rather than just punching bad guys, he learns to take down systemic injustices.
@@Blueeyesthewarrior hope we get to meet Lucius Fox as well, he's sorely missed. Also I imagine he's gonna be getting a few upgrades considering the wingsuit to parachute "fail" he had. I mean he took quite a fall when the parachute snagged on to the bridge.
@@sogerc1 dk what to say to you then. If it wasn’t your cup of tea then fair enough but I think it’s as close to a comic book accurate take on a Batman film.
And more accurate. Every other live action batman actor since Michael Keaton has worn eyeshadow under the mask, but they take it off when their mask comes off.
I love in the funeral scene where Battinson exits the car he starts to smile just a tiny bit for the cameras but immediately bails. It's so forced from him and equally hilarious and sad
That's it! This is how they're going to get the iconic line! The first movie has, "I am vengeance." The second movie will have, "I am the night." And the next movie will have, "I am Batman."
On Battinsons workout routine, his physique much more closely resembles world champion fighters rather than a bodybuilder, which makes much more practical sense for Batman in general.
He actually looks about the comic proportions of Dick Grayson. Dude was never *built* like Bruce was. Even as an adult, dude was still an Acrobat, not a Bodybuilder.
I especially love Batman's relationship with Gordon in this film. It feels very unique from other iterations where they basically treat each other as equals. Here, Gordon almost seems to begrudgingly look out for Batman out of pity and often voices his frustration with the guy's caginess. I almost get George and Lenny vibes from their relationship, like Gordon fears the idea of Batman snapping and going too far one day and having to put him down. I also love how the two actually share a bit of a chuckle when Gordon tells Batman to punch him in the face so he can escape. We never really get to see that side of Batman in the movies.
The slow creepy bat eyes is cuz he’s recording so he wants to scan everything so he can look back at it later. That’s why he walks so slowly around crime scenes I love this movie
I have ADHD and struggle even sitting through a 10 minute episode of a show without leaving the room to run around. I sat through this entire 3 hour movie without leaving the room once, and I think that says something about how compelling it is
Eyyy Saw the movie multiple times with different friends, some liked it more than others, but no one disliked it. No one believed Collin Farrel was the penguin under prosthetics. And even if you know, its a completely different person.
I had occasional moments while watching where I felt like I should know him from SOMEWHERE (I think maybe the occasional facial expression or something was JUST enough to trigger a shadow of recollection), but I was totally blown away when I got to the credits and it was Collin freaking Farrel. Just phenomenal work.
As someone who was rooting for Robert Pattinson as an actor since 2010, him playing Batman was a dream come true for me he was perfect imo definitely my favorite love action Batman
Riddler: "Bruuuuuuuce Waaaaaaayne". Batman internally: "oh fuck oh shit he knows who I am he's going to tell everyone fuck me there's a camera recording it's going to be everywhere this is the end for batman". Riddler:"He's the one guy we didn't get". Batman internally: "thank fuck I didn't say anything"
I love how that scene was lead up to and played out. Pattinson's "Bruce Wayne" performance in the Batsuit is so good. I put Bruce Wayne in quotes because he's only able to be himself as Batman. As Riddler says, "I'm looking at the real you." His assumption that Riddler knows he's Bruce causes him to almost instinctively put up that persona he very clearly struggles to maintain. But when he gets rug pulled from under him, his aggression shines through like, well, the bat signal.
@@scarigamez it makes you wonder how he was unable to put 2 and 2 together though. Bruce Wayne is barely out in public and clearly deprived of sunlight whenever he is, and he just happens to be absent when he gets the bomb delivered. Not to mention the high tech equipment Riddler is aware Batman has access to, but eh.
@@mercury2157 based on how Riddler admires Batman and the looking at the real you thing, he didn't even consider figuring it out. The thought never crossed his mind because Batman is just Batman to him.
I take this scene as a catalyst for him to put Bruce Wayne out in public. While Riddler didn't figure it out, how long would it take him to or anyone else. This along with his speech at the end would make great starting points for a sequel where he tries to do more as Bruce Wayne rather than Batman.
This movie gets better and better the more you think about it. So many layers and so much appreciation to detail within the films reality and the characters themselves. Batman having a character arc for once where he thinks vengeance is the only way to change things and then seeing his real role is as a watchful protector was a very fulfilling and credible change for a year 2 batman to have. Both the opening and closing monologues are tow of my favorite scenes. I could gush about this movie all day, an incredible film on every level
The opening narration of this movie perfectly explained who Batman is, what he does, and why he does it the way he does it. God I love this movie. Also one of my favorite movie scores ever? I can't even listen to the funeral music without tearing up.
Love this version of bruce so much because hes just so… shy. When hes not in the suit, he keeps his head down and avoids eye contact and is so soft spoken. He doesnt have the playboy persona yet. Even in the suit he is HORRIBLY socially pathetic and ONLY can communicate through the investigation. Hes got the tism….
I think there's been a couple runs that imply / show Brucie as being on the spectrum, being tested when going through therapy after his parents' deaths. It makes a lot of sense!!!
@@biboofers6390 IT DOES it makes perfect sense to me!! I really identify with this version of bruce and his mannerisms as an autistic person, which for the record, I have NEVER seen myself in bruce Wayne before
I always found it fascinating that as Batman he stands taller than even most of the cops. He towers over everyone he talks to as this intimidating force but as Bruce he seems almost reserved and like hes hiding in on himself. He always keeps his head sort of down and slouched not really meeting anyones eyes. It goes to show just how split the two personas are from each other at this point. Honestly that difference that Robert displays made him my favorite live action batman. No disrespect to any of the others (especially adam west) but this is a batman that is broken and suffering in his own personal hell and it is fascinating to watch. Throughout the movie i also noticed that he basically lives the line from Iron man in the MCU "if you need the suit you dont deserve it" towards the end of the movie we see him becoming more confident and grounded. His two personas mixing to form THE batman and by the end of the movie we see him become someone worthy of the suit and the symbolism behind it
12:22 I like how this moment is shown from Bruce's perspective So we can feel what is like to escape from an angry mob Even when you rely on your best gear, moments like this are truly terrifying
Batman's angry, calculated fighting style is so brutal. He's always aiming for points to cause the most damage. I love that he always takes a few hits in every fight. It feels much more grounded when he's not perfect.
I love the opening when Riddler kills the Mayor because you get the sense that after all his years of planning and revenge it could have all fallen apart if he had screwed up bonking him on the head.
I think the way they made the new batmobiles "scream" as it started up really sold how terrifying it could be, how the sound of it can inspire terror. Peak audio work
Me and my friends watched this movie kind of on a whim and we went in with honestly not much in terms of expectations, but holy crap I am so glad we watched it because I don't think I've enjoyed myself that much in a movie for a long time. This movie is fantastic
2 Things 1) Colin Farrell is such a fantastic and often unappreciated actor and from first hand accounts he's actually an awesome human being IRL too. 2) When I saw this in theatres (twice) I couldn't help but laugh nervously at the Batmobile because however they managed it I believed that it was like an animal of it's own. The engine roar winding up like its a jet motor and especially jumping through the flames just absolutely terrifying in theatre.
The best part of this movie for me was the introduction/Batmobile chase. There’s no better scene in this movie. The startup in the dark, hearing the mix of turbine whine and big V8 rumble, while only seeing the glow of the engines is absolutely insane.
The Batman is a fantastic film. This movie really explores batman in a very different way. Robert Pattinson does a phenomenal job as the caped crusader, so much so that when you look at batman, you also see Bruce Wayne and his inner torment and darkness lurking within. The scenes with Bruce without the suit interacting and Alfred were very effective and powerful. All the characters are true to what they are supposed to be like. All the actors which include Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Collin Farrell, Paul Dano do an excellent job at helming these iconic characters. My only problem is that at times the characters survive things that they shouldn't be able to. The story is very well thought out and meticulously planned and crafted. The Villain, Riddler, is tragic, understandable, smart, cunning, and overall effective and I had no problems with him. The action is expertly choreographed, very well shot and confidently directed. This is by far the best looking batman movie. I love the Nolan films. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and favorite superhero film. But the cinematography by Greg Freizer is just pristine and down-right gorgeous. This film's visuals are on a whole another level. This is probably the best looking comic-book films I Have ever seen. It's only real competition is Aquaman (great looking film). Now Michael Giacchino had a very difficult task ahead of him. The character of Batman has been blessed with beautiful scores over the years, from the iconic score by Danny Elfman, to the underrated score in the animated series and the energetic and exciting score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard (My Favorite). The Legacy is hard to Live up to. But I am happy to say that Michael Giacchino has composed a flawless score for this film which itself was enough to put me on the edge of my seat. Its just a testament to why he is hired to compose so many films. This is the best Batman score since The Dark Knight trilogy. Now I won't spoil, but at the end of this movie, Bruce learns a lesson and it was beautiful. The arc he has as Batman is amazing. It is something I have never seen in a comic-book film, and it perfectly sends the message of what a hero is meant to be. This film actually delves deep into one aspect of Batman that the other films only addressed, and that is that he is 'The World's Greatest Detective'. That is what made the film so unique and fresh, the fact that is truly a mystery movie. Overall, you can probably see that I am very happy. I am honestly at a place with Batman right now where I have not been in a long time. This is my favorite Batman, DC, and probably favorite comic-book movie since The Dark Knight. its only real competition is Joker(2019). The Batman is an incredible experience. If it weren't for that problem I mentioned, this movie would have probably been better than The Dark Knight for me. This film is a technical masterpiece, and is beautifully written. Matt Reeves is truly one of the best film-makers working today. He showed promise from the start with films like The Planet of the Apes sequels and Cloverfield, and with this movie's trailers. The movie lives up to my hype and I had a Blast. In short, Go Watch It.
To me, THIS is the most true Batman film ever made. Feels like it was made from the ground up by people who truly care about this character and his world. The Direction. The Acting. The Music. The Cinematography. Everything is just to such a high standard. Makes other comic book films look even more like the family friendly, super hero comedies they are in comparison.
The thing at 2:59 where you mention the Vader introduction is kinda funny because the soundtrack here basically sounds like the Imperial March but just cut off early in the track.
The monologue. The amazing lighting. The epic shots. The suspense. And the fights in this movies is what I know is the top Batman movie that I don’t see being topped anytime soon. I had my doubts the dude from the Twilight movies would make a good Batman, but holy cow he is a nearly perfect one with him being both Bruce and Batman.
14:50 love the point because it reminds me of the panel where WW, Superman, and Batman all hold onto her Lasso and say their names. Of course the words that come out of Batmans mouth are literally "Batman". He IS Batman, and Bruce Wayne is a facade.
Honestly, one of my favorite things to enjoy during my viewing of the movie was catching all the "Something in the way" reprises throughout the soundtrack.
Th first 10:00 minutes of The Batman, says it all about Batman and the criminal element. "Fear is a tool, and they do not know where I am." The guy Batman SAVES at the train station from the criminals was even afraid of him. This film can be taken off the pages of a Batman comic, has multiple layers of story there is not just one criminal element of the story.
Bruce walking in the rain at the beginning of the film with that monologue sold me right there. I mean I knew he's gonna nail the role, but that part gave me chills and I knew I will see something special.
I 100% loved this movie. It gives us a Batman we rarely ever see. That the sheer PRESENCE of Batman was intimidating, almost stifling in a way that made you uneasy. Not to mention I love his relationship with Gordon here and seeing them actually work together was awesome. The Riddler actually unnerved me while watching this and the fact he technically won in the end...this is not a Batman movie we are used to, but I will so see a second one.
I absolutely love this version. Paul does so well with acting as both Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Plus, this movie goes way more into his roots. Some of the more recent movies go more into his fighting and backstory, but this one goes more into his roots as a detective. It's called DC for a reason, and this reminds fans where Batman as a character started. Plus, the more creepy version of the Riddler and the mystery and misdirection works SO well with the detective Batman. I love this version so much and am so excited to see if more like this comes from DC. If it does, they can do a lot better than they have. They tried too hard to catch up to Marvel, but this new version can actually work for some audiences! I love this so much.
Me and my big brother watched this movie 1 day before it came out in IMAX Theaters. TBH, it does feel so dark and scary, especially when they are solving riddles. I love the Batman movie.
This came a bit sooner than I expected? Seeing as next week will be Part-2, here are some potential suggestions for the week after: -The Iron Giant -Jurassic World: Dominion (Extended Edition) -Atlantis: The Lost Empire -The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition) -Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film) -Night at the Museum -Marvel's What If...? (Disney+ Series) -Loki (Disney+ Series) -Frankenweenie -Ghostbusters
11:03 Eh I wouldn't go as far as to claim incel; if anything he does have a fair reason to be upset (not excusing his actions) with how the system has treated him and others being disregarded. Also incel description is more associated with the dislike of those who are active intimately (especially hostility towards women hence that's commonly seen) while they themselves aren't with anyone, so I wouldn't really use the word incel to associate it with him.
This movie was everything I wanted. Even despite the pandemic pushing everything back, it still delivered on ALL of the hype. It's the 1 movie I knew I absolutely had to see in theaters opening weekend Battinson was way better than I ever expected and I was one of the few people actually excited for him. Colin absolutely crushed it, Jeffrey was a great Gordon, and of course Kravitz was incredible. It sucks this series is going to take multiple years for each film because I want so much more
I remember seeing this in theaters and feeling my jaw hit the floor during the car chase scene. One of the most epic scenes I have ever seen, up there with the "Avengers Assemble" scene in Endgame.
Imo the batmobile chase was the ultimate superhero slasher scene. It was Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees chasing a teenager in cbm form. It makes you watching the movie excited while also showing the sheer terror of being chased by the Batman. I was absolutely screaming from sheer joy and excitement one opening weekend because it was absolutely amazing to watch. By far my favorite movie moment of the past yesr
The score in the scene with Alfred in the hospital deserves a mention. We've been battered with all these dark, pounding, brooding themes constantly with no reprieve, and then for the first time, at the EXACT moment Bruce realizes how afraid he is of losing Alfred, the score makes a brief but definitive change to a major key. It just feels like there's hope, meaning, clarity, and renewed purpose, that there's a light at the end of this and things are looking up. It's the first real time the score does that, and it is super powerful for the contrast. And what does Bruce do when he takes Alfred's hand at that moment? He looks up, he sees the light in the sky, and we're off to the climax.
During the scene at 9:24, there was a VERY little kid in the audience and he lost it. He was absolute screaming and bawling that he was scared, and for good reason it's a creepy scene! His parent or guardian had to carry him out of the theater because of how hard he was crying. But parents, grandparents, PLEASE do your research before taking your kids to a movie and PLEASE be courteous to other movie-goers and don't bring your young child to opening night DURING the night. Go during the day when there's less people or wait until the movie has been out a while.
Man, i cant say how long i waited for this. It is truly one of the best movies made in the last decade, not even because of the story, but how complete it is and how well everything fits together. Matt Reeves really is a genius.
At last, everything great about the Batman is finally here! I saw this movie with my family on the date came out, and I loved it! I can’t wait for part 2!
I’m definitely looking forward to the summary commentary, seems like he’s leaning the way I think, which is that the best part of the movie is the development to Bruce’s character having to figure out that he needs to be a hero, not just vengeance
I think something people never mention is the upside down shot of batman watlking to the crashed car is something straight out of a spaghetti western. The cape as a poncho flowing in the wind. You can even hear what sounds like spurs jingling when he walks
13:20 that scene I saw w my father and we were both laughing in the “your so fucked” way 😂😂 in cinema this legit gave me chills as well, loved this a lot. Also I personally didn’t mind pattinson having a smaller physique, to me it just says he’s been doin it for a decent while but not long enough to be jacked like his other iterations. As far as I remember it anyways.
6:08-6:16 A missed win is the audio mix. I shall always praise this film for how they set the sound levels to have the club music at the same level as normal audio and the thuds from hits and speech be muffled instead of the usual approach of keeping speech and sound effects normal and the music deafening. Good sound mixing deserves much more recognition than it gets.
For me it was all about that first scene, I was sold in the first 5 minutes. For as much as I love Nolan's trilogy, no other movie was able to depict so well what Batman means for a bad guy. The thief running with the money, stopping in front of a dark alley and choosing a different route. You can actually see what's going on in his head: "He can't be everywhere. Why should he be there? Come on he can't be there....But what if he is?" Pure genius.
still hoping I can entice you to do Adventures of Tintin. Its a criminally underrated movie, especially considering the names that worked on it. Steven Spielberg, Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, John Williams and more. And I have never seen that style of animation anywhere else. Very highly recommended
This was the perfect amount on edgy, realistic, and comic like version of a live action Batman. Not 100% sold on the Alfred as I've pictured him as twig that can f you up in 10,000 ways but hopefully I'll grow into Andy Serkis in the sequel
Just a little fighting detail I loved. When Batman and Catwoman are having their scuffle, Batman absolutely manhandles her, even casually keeping her quiet while the room is swept. Really sells the weight and presence of the Batman. Yeah he's a dude in a suit, but at 6'1 and with all that armour nearly 300 pounds, he's about as physically dominating as a person can be. Especially in an action movie environment where martial arts and training seemingly let anyone of any physical capacity and size beat up anyone else no matter the disadvantage, to have all his physical might overcome those rules grounds him as such a realistic threat to criminals in the this version of Gotham, especially when most of them are overpowering people with surprise attacks and desperation. By his world's standards, this Batman is legitimately a monster.
Was pleasantly surprised by Robert's performance of the Batman. Dude's come a decent way from his Twilight days. Real star of the movie for me, though? The new Batmobile. The way they introduced that thing was like a dragon awakening. Hell on wheels made real. First time hearing the damn thing in the theatre with Dolby Atmos surrounding us? Goosebumps. Chills. Awesome.
One of the things Loved about this movie is Batman's whole operation felt like something 2 men with a lot of money could accomplish. The Batcave isn't a gigantic underground labyrinth that would have taken 1000 construction workers and several engineers to build. It's an abandoned subway. The batmobile isn't a one off supercar, it's a Charger with a suped up engine. Etc.
12:10 It's very minor, and you can best see it here, but i love how the reflective shine to his eyes from his video feed contact lenses gives him a White Eyes look, very much like The Batman Animated Series.
One of the best parts about this movie is that we get to actually see Batman so much. Most superhero movies has the hero out of costume for half the movie, cause the actors wants their face to have certain amount of screentime. It's a contract thing, and i'm so glad it looks like Pattinson didn't care about the arbitrary "exposure" most others do.
I'm so happy that The Batman got the "Cinemawins part 2" treatment. I mean it's a long movie but it has a LOT of good things worth mentioning about this movie to fit in one video.
In the car crash scene in the funeral, one amazing moment is when the phone rang...everyone flinched but the batman...or Bruce wayne...which is pretty cool win
Batman’s arc in this movie is perfectly surmised by one consistent bit of physical acting
1.) Bruce is visibly squinting in the entire scene where Alfred is trying to decode the first cipher because of daylight streaming in from the windows
(“Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal”)
2.) At the end, when Bruce is helping the woman being airlifted, he’s looking up, clear and wide-eyed in the daylight
Vengeance in the night -> Hope in the light
Great catch! That's awesome!
And while they spell it out. Him realizing that there is more to justice than vengeance.
this made me tear up. this is also exactly why I'd trust this batman with a baby acrobat.
he has so much room for growth and at no point does the movie make you feel like he's set in stone like the other live action batmen.
Ooo.
That's a nice additional detail, makes this movie more amazing the more tiny details like this arise
2 things:
1. It’s awesome as hell that both Batman and the Batmobile get basically the same intro, where you hear them before you actually see them. Absolutely pitch perfect Batmobile sequence with perfect build in tension.
2. Love how subtly funny Bruce is in this, contrasting how dour he is. Constantly turning phrases and being a smartass, but not in a cocky way, more biting. “Alright, I got you on assaulting an officer!” “You got me on assaulting three”

As scary as this version of the Riddler was, I really liked it. Paul Dano is even writing a six issue comic series called Riddler: Year One.

This was everything I wanted from a new Batman movie, I absolutely love it.
Couldn't agree more
My girlfriend is NOT a super hero fan, but she even loved the more Detective/Flim Noir feel of this one.
Really? Because my reaction coming out from the cinema is that it didn't worth a movie ticket.
@@sogerc1 dk what to say to you then. If it wasn’t your cup of tea then fair enough but I think it’s as close to a comic book accurate take on a Batman film.
@@harrisonlucas1381 Agreed.
Here’s a win that should be mentioned:
This is Zoe Kravitz’ second time playing Catwoman, after the LEGO Batman Movie
Even though this movie is 3 hours long, it’s one of the most rewatchable movies I’ve ever seen
Worth all the time
It's a REALLY good movie but not really that rewatchable for me. The "wow" moments are not really present or underdevelopped.
@@Ticey I disagree but can see where you're coming from.
I've watched the film 5 times, the chase sequence 10 times, and Batman starting up his car 91 times.
Disagree. It feels like a 3 hour movie. There's a lot of bloat in this movie.
I love the fact that the filmmakers included the black eye makeup for Bruce. It makes his whole Batman getup look that much scarier.
And more accurate. Every other live action batman actor since Michael Keaton has worn eyeshadow under the mask, but they take it off when their mask comes off.
agrred
I love in the funeral scene where Battinson exits the car he starts to smile just a tiny bit for the cameras but immediately bails. It's so forced from him and equally hilarious and sad
And then immediately hunches over and looks at the ground like “Why did I do that? Stupid.”
That's it! This is how they're going to get the iconic line! The first movie has, "I am vengeance." The second movie will have, "I am the night." And the next movie will have, "I am Batman."
nice head cannon! And honestly i hope it will actually be like that

Here, Gordon almost seems to begrudgingly look out for Batman out of pity and often voices his frustration with the guy's caginess. I almost get George and Lenny vibes from their relationship, like Gordon fears the idea of Batman snapping and going too far one day and having to put him down. I also love how the two actually share a bit of a chuckle when Gordon tells Batman to punch him in the face so he can escape. We never really get to see that side of Batman in the movies.
The slow creepy bat eyes is cuz he’s recording so he wants to scan everything so he can look back at it later. That’s why he walks so slowly around crime scenes
I love this movie
bravo matt!
Good point!
I have ADHD and struggle even sitting through a 10 minute episode of a show without leaving the room to run around. I sat through this entire 3 hour movie without leaving the room once, and I think that says something about how compelling it is
I have the same problem. I don't know what their source is but they definitely used some kind of magic to make the film feel a lot shorter than it is.
@@daggern15YES, honestly i was so surprised when i realised this film was 3 hours long after i’d watched it
Eyyy
Saw the movie multiple times with different friends, some liked it more than others, but no one disliked it.
No one believed Collin Farrel was the penguin under prosthetics. And even if you know, its a completely different person.
Congrats on first
Bulsh... huh. Never would have seen it.
I had occasional moments while watching where I felt like I should know him from SOMEWHERE (I think maybe the occasional facial expression or something was JUST enough to trigger a shadow of recollection), but I was totally blown away when I got to the credits and it was Collin freaking Farrel. Just phenomenal work.
Kvothe pfp
@@nelisezpasce you may have heard of him
As someone who was rooting for Robert Pattinson as an actor since 2010, him playing Batman was a dream come true for me he was perfect imo definitely my favorite love action Batman
Riddler: "Bruuuuuuuce Waaaaaaayne".
Batman internally: "oh fuck oh shit he knows who I am he's going to tell everyone fuck me there's a camera recording it's going to be everywhere this is the end for batman".
Riddler:"He's the one guy we didn't get".
Batman internally: "thank fuck I didn't say anything"
I love how that scene was lead up to and played out. Pattinson's "Bruce Wayne" performance in the Batsuit is so good. I put Bruce Wayne in quotes because he's only able to be himself as Batman. As Riddler says, "I'm looking at the real you."
His assumption that Riddler knows he's Bruce causes him to almost instinctively put up that persona he very clearly struggles to maintain. But when he gets rug pulled from under him, his aggression shines through like, well, the bat signal.
@@scarigamez it makes you wonder how he was unable to put 2 and 2 together though. Bruce Wayne is barely out in public and clearly deprived of sunlight whenever he is, and he just happens to be absent when he gets the bomb delivered. Not to mention the high tech equipment Riddler is aware Batman has access to, but eh.
@@mercury2157 based on how Riddler admires Batman and the looking at the real you thing, he didn't even consider figuring it out. The thought never crossed his mind because Batman is just Batman to him.
When I first heard that part in theaters, I got so scared 😂😂
I take this scene as a catalyst for him to put Bruce Wayne out in public. While Riddler didn't figure it out, how long would it take him to or anyone else. This along with his speech at the end would make great starting points for a sequel where he tries to do more as Bruce Wayne rather than Batman.
This movie gets better and better the more you think about it. So many layers and so much appreciation to detail within the films reality and the characters themselves. Batman having a character arc for once where he thinks vengeance is the only way to change things and then seeing his real role is as a watchful protector was a very fulfilling and credible change for a year 2 batman to have. Both the opening and closing monologues are tow of my favorite scenes. I could gush about this movie all day, an incredible film on every level
The opening narration of this movie perfectly explained who Batman is, what he does, and why he does it the way he does it. God I love this movie.
Also one of my favorite movie scores ever? I can't even listen to the funeral music without tearing up.
Love this version of bruce so much because hes just so… shy. When hes not in the suit, he keeps his head down and avoids eye contact and is so soft spoken. He doesnt have the playboy persona yet.
Even in the suit he is HORRIBLY socially pathetic and ONLY can communicate through the investigation. Hes got the tism….
I think there's been a couple runs that imply / show Brucie as being on the spectrum, being tested when going through therapy after his parents' deaths. It makes a lot of sense!!!
@@biboofers6390 IT DOES it makes perfect sense to me!! I really identify with this version of bruce and his mannerisms as an autistic person, which for the record, I have NEVER seen myself in bruce Wayne before
I am absolutely convinced that his kiss with Selina was this Bruce's first kiss.
@@biboofers6390 as an autistic person, both this version’s bruce wayne and riddler are clearly neurodivergent and it works for the characters so well
@@blue3616 IT WAS IT ABSOLUTELY WAS this version of Bruce and Selina is just that meme "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" kjfvbskjbdf
I always found it fascinating that as Batman he stands taller than even most of the cops. He towers over everyone he talks to as this intimidating force but as Bruce he seems almost reserved and like hes hiding in on himself. He always keeps his head sort of down and slouched not really meeting anyones eyes. It goes to show just how split the two personas are from each other at this point. Honestly that difference that Robert displays made him my favorite live action batman. No disrespect to any of the others (especially adam west) but this is a batman that is broken and suffering in his own personal hell and it is fascinating to watch. Throughout the movie i also noticed that he basically lives the line from Iron man in the MCU "if you need the suit you dont deserve it" towards the end of the movie we see him becoming more confident and grounded. His two personas mixing to form THE batman and by the end of the movie we see him become someone worthy of the suit and the symbolism behind it
12:22 I like how this moment is shown from Bruce's perspective
So we can feel what is like to escape from an angry mob
Even when you rely on your best gear, moments like this are truly terrifying
Batman's angry, calculated fighting style is so brutal. He's always aiming for points to cause the most damage.
I love that he always takes a few hits in every fight. It feels much more grounded when he's not perfect.
I love how in the movie, the first shots of the movie from riddlers perspective made us think the kid was Bruce Wayne.
I love the opening when Riddler kills the Mayor because you get the sense that after all his years of planning and revenge it could have all fallen apart if he had screwed up bonking him on the head.
I think the way they made the new batmobiles "scream" as it started up really sold how terrifying it could be, how the sound of it can inspire terror. Peak audio work
Absolutely true to that one, Michael Giacchino is always a win. You got that right. 13:35
Me and my friends watched this movie kind of on a whim and we went in with honestly not much in terms of expectations, but holy crap I am so glad we watched it because I don't think I've enjoyed myself that much in a movie for a long time. This movie is fantastic
The opening 30 minutes were perfect, the criminals terrified of the shadows because batman is that good at what he does
2 Things
1) Colin Farrell is such a fantastic and often unappreciated actor and from first hand accounts he's actually an awesome human being IRL too.
2) When I saw this in theatres (twice) I couldn't help but laugh nervously at the Batmobile because however they managed it I believed that it was like an animal of it's own. The engine roar winding up like its a jet motor and especially jumping through the flames just absolutely terrifying in theatre.
The opening and closing monologues are the best representation of Batman's beginning career. The cinematography is so phenomenal
The best part of this movie for me was the introduction/Batmobile chase. There’s no better scene in this movie. The startup in the dark, hearing the mix of turbine whine and big V8 rumble, while only seeing the glow of the engines is absolutely insane.
One of my favorite things is the walk after the car chase. It’s the only time in the film his walk has spurs played over it like he’s some bat cowboy
Honestly what I love most about this movie is how it shows Bruce becoming an almost mythical figure to criminals in Gotham by the end.
What I love about main theme in this movie is that it almost sounds like it's trying to say "IT'S... THE BATMAN..."
I've never been so on the edge of my seat and surprised by a movie in a while. The mystery in this movie is absolutely amazing.
The Batman is a fantastic film. This movie really explores batman in a very different way. Robert Pattinson does a phenomenal job as the caped crusader, so much so that when you look at batman, you also see Bruce Wayne and his inner torment and darkness lurking within. The scenes with Bruce without the suit interacting and Alfred were very effective and powerful. All the characters are true to what they are supposed to be like. All the actors which include Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Collin Farrell, Paul Dano do an excellent job at helming these iconic characters. My only problem is that at times the characters survive things that they shouldn't be able to. The story is very well thought out and meticulously planned and crafted. The Villain, Riddler, is tragic, understandable, smart, cunning, and overall effective and I had no problems with him. The action is expertly choreographed, very well shot and confidently directed. This is by far the best looking batman movie. I love the Nolan films. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and favorite superhero film. But the cinematography by Greg Freizer is just pristine and down-right gorgeous. This film's visuals are on a whole another level. This is probably the best looking comic-book films I Have ever seen. It's only real competition is Aquaman (great looking film). Now Michael Giacchino had a very difficult task ahead of him. The character of Batman has been blessed with beautiful scores over the years, from the iconic score by Danny Elfman, to the underrated score in the animated series and the energetic and exciting score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard (My Favorite). The Legacy is hard to Live up to. But I am happy to say that Michael Giacchino has composed a flawless score for this film which itself was enough to put me on the edge of my seat. Its just a testament to why he is hired to compose so many films. This is the best Batman score since The Dark Knight trilogy. Now I won't spoil, but at the end of this movie, Bruce learns a lesson and it was beautiful. The arc he has as Batman is amazing. It is something I have never seen in a comic-book film, and it perfectly sends the message of what a hero is meant to be. This film actually delves deep into one aspect of Batman that the other films only addressed, and that is that he is 'The World's Greatest Detective'. That is what made the film so unique and fresh, the fact that is truly a mystery movie. Overall, you can probably see that I am very happy. I am honestly at a place with Batman right now where I have not been in a long time. This is my favorite Batman, DC, and probably favorite comic-book movie since The Dark Knight. its only real competition is Joker(2019). The Batman is an incredible experience. If it weren't for that problem I mentioned, this movie would have probably been better than The Dark Knight for me. This film is a technical masterpiece, and is beautifully written. Matt Reeves is truly one of the best film-makers working today. He showed promise from the start with films like The Planet of the Apes sequels and Cloverfield, and with this movie's trailers. The movie lives up to my hype and I had a Blast. In short, Go Watch It.
To me, THIS is the most true Batman film ever made. Feels like it was made from the ground up by people who truly care about this character and his world. The Direction. The Acting. The Music. The Cinematography. Everything is just to such a high standard. Makes other comic book films look even more like the family friendly, super hero comedies they are in comparison.
The thing at 2:59 where you mention the Vader introduction is kinda funny because the soundtrack here basically sounds like the Imperial March but just cut off early in the track.
The monologue. The amazing lighting. The epic shots. The suspense. And the fights in this movies is what I know is the top Batman movie that I don’t see being topped anytime soon. I had my doubts the dude from the Twilight movies would make a good Batman, but holy cow he is a nearly perfect one with him being both Bruce and Batman.
The sound of the new Batmobile warming up is my favourite part by far, sounds like a witch screaming type thing. Puts everyone so on edge!
14:50 love the point because it reminds me of the panel where WW, Superman, and Batman all hold onto her Lasso and say their names. Of course the words that come out of Batmans mouth are literally "Batman". He IS Batman, and Bruce Wayne is a facade.
4:10 wait Bruce is a billiona- 😂😂😂
This movie gives us something the others only gave pieces of: Authenticity. To the character and the universe. I can't wait for the sequels.
I like that they kept it fresh.
And they did it well. It's rewatchable
Honestly, one of my favorite things to enjoy during my viewing of the movie was catching all the "Something in the way" reprises throughout the soundtrack.
Th first 10:00 minutes of The Batman, says it all about Batman and the criminal element. "Fear is a tool, and they do not know where I am." The guy Batman SAVES at the train station from the criminals was even afraid of him. This film can be taken off the pages of a Batman comic, has multiple layers of story there is not just one criminal element of the story.
YES- I loved this move and I’m so glad that you’re covering it now!!!
Bruce walking in the rain at the beginning of the film with that monologue sold me right there.
I mean I knew he's gonna nail the role, but that part gave me chills and I knew I will see something special.
This is the last sponsor I ever expected for CinemaWins lmao
I 100% loved this movie. It gives us a Batman we rarely ever see. That the sheer PRESENCE of Batman was intimidating, almost stifling in a way that made you uneasy. Not to mention I love his relationship with Gordon here and seeing them actually work together was awesome. The Riddler actually unnerved me while watching this and the fact he technically won in the end...this is not a Batman movie we are used to, but I will so see a second one.
I love Batfleck and I also loved this shot from Batinson. There's room for both.
I absolutely love this version. Paul does so well with acting as both Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Plus, this movie goes way more into his roots. Some of the more recent movies go more into his fighting and backstory, but this one goes more into his roots as a detective. It's called DC for a reason, and this reminds fans where Batman as a character started. Plus, the more creepy version of the Riddler and the mystery and misdirection works SO well with the detective Batman. I love this version so much and am so excited to see if more like this comes from DC. If it does, they can do a lot better than they have. They tried too hard to catch up to Marvel, but this new version can actually work for some audiences! I love this so much.
Paul?
Red and Black is honestly such a good color combination.
Me and my big brother watched this movie 1 day before it came out in IMAX Theaters. TBH, it does feel so dark and scary, especially when they are solving riddles. I love the Batman movie.
the new theme for the batman is just perfect when he came out of the darkness walking slowly towards the thugs, i got chills of excitement.
This came a bit sooner than I expected? Seeing as next week will be Part-2, here are some potential suggestions for the week after:
-The Iron Giant
-Jurassic World: Dominion (Extended Edition)
-Atlantis: The Lost Empire
-The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition)
-Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film)
-Night at the Museum
-Marvel's What If...? (Disney+ Series)
-Loki (Disney+ Series)
-Frankenweenie
-Ghostbusters
11:03
Eh I wouldn't go as far as to claim incel; if anything he does have a fair reason to be upset (not excusing his actions) with how the system has treated him and others being disregarded. Also incel description is more associated with the dislike of those who are active intimately (especially hostility towards women hence that's commonly seen) while they themselves aren't with anyone, so I wouldn't really use the word incel to associate it with him.
This movie was everything I wanted. Even despite the pandemic pushing everything back, it still delivered on ALL of the hype. It's the 1 movie I knew I absolutely had to see in theaters opening weekend
Battinson was way better than I ever expected and I was one of the few people actually excited for him. Colin absolutely crushed it, Jeffrey was a great Gordon, and of course Kravitz was incredible. It sucks this series is going to take multiple years for each film because I want so much more
6:35 is totally my fav part! 😅
Easily one of the best comic book films in years
I remember seeing this in theaters and feeling my jaw hit the floor during the car chase scene. One of the most epic scenes I have ever seen, up there with the "Avengers Assemble" scene in Endgame.
Imo the batmobile chase was the ultimate superhero slasher scene. It was Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees chasing a teenager in cbm form. It makes you watching the movie excited while also showing the sheer terror of being chased by the Batman. I was absolutely screaming from sheer joy and excitement one opening weekend because it was absolutely amazing to watch. By far my favorite movie moment of the past yesr
Considering his work on the Planet of The Apes films. I knew Matt Reeves would do an excellent job. And could you cover Rango?
The score in the scene with Alfred in the hospital deserves a mention. We've been battered with all these dark, pounding, brooding themes constantly with no reprieve, and then for the first time, at the EXACT moment Bruce realizes how afraid he is of losing Alfred, the score makes a brief but definitive change to a major key. It just feels like there's hope, meaning, clarity, and renewed purpose, that there's a light at the end of this and things are looking up. It's the first real time the score does that, and it is super powerful for the contrast. And what does Bruce do when he takes Alfred's hand at that moment? He looks up, he sees the light in the sky, and we're off to the climax.
You’re such a wholesome guy. Everything you say in and outside of your script feels so genuine. Have a great day man!
During the scene at 9:24, there was a VERY little kid in the audience and he lost it. He was absolute screaming and bawling that he was scared, and for good reason it's a creepy scene! His parent or guardian had to carry him out of the theater because of how hard he was crying.
But parents, grandparents, PLEASE do your research before taking your kids to a movie and PLEASE be courteous to other movie-goers and don't bring your young child to opening night DURING the night. Go during the day when there's less people or wait until the movie has been out a while.
Man, i cant say how long i waited for this. It is truly one of the best movies made in the last decade, not even because of the story, but how complete it is and how well everything fits together. Matt Reeves really is a genius.
At last, everything great about the Batman is finally here! I saw this movie with my family on the date came out, and I loved it! I can’t wait for part 2!
The Batmobile starting up is so intense. You can feel it when you're watching the movie.
Anyway, you should do Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
Penguin needs waaaaay more credit! One of the best takes on the character, loved it
I’m definitely looking forward to the summary commentary, seems like he’s leaning the way I think, which is that the best part of the movie is the development to Bruce’s character having to figure out that he needs to be a hero, not just vengeance
This is the one i’ve been waiting for!! 🤪🤪🤪
but that Adam and Eve sponsorship 👀
I think something people never mention is the upside down shot of batman watlking to the crashed car is something straight out of a spaghetti western. The cape as a poncho flowing in the wind. You can even hear what sounds like spurs jingling when he walks
13:20 that scene I saw w my father and we were both laughing in the “your so fucked” way 😂😂 in cinema this legit gave me chills as well, loved this a lot.
Also I personally didn’t mind pattinson having a smaller physique, to me it just says he’s been doin it for a decent while but not long enough to be jacked like his other iterations. As far as I remember it anyways.
This movie gives me such a vibe like in theaters gosh this felt like I was there amazing sounds
This movie blew my mind, the score in particular, such a masterpiece
I gotta say, the batmobile intro/scene WAS SO DAMN GOOD
This movie was one my favorite movies I've ever seen in theater. Loved everything about it.
So happy you mentioned the Harley Quinn show. That show is so funny. Honestly wish you'd do a Wins on that series.
15:40 Robert Pattison didn't want to get steroids because that is what "get ripped" in Hollywood means
6:08-6:16 A missed win is the audio mix. I shall always praise this film for how they set the sound levels to have the club music at the same level as normal audio and the thuds from hits and speech be muffled instead of the usual approach of keeping speech and sound effects normal and the music deafening. Good sound mixing deserves much more recognition than it gets.
The wingsuit gliding was done in with green screens, but the landing was done practically. Mad respect for the stuntman.
YES!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!! This is one of my favorite films I've watched it at least 7 times can't wait to hear what you think of it!!!☺️💗
For me it was all about that first scene, I was sold in the first 5 minutes.
For as much as I love Nolan's trilogy, no other movie was able to depict so well what Batman means for a bad guy. The thief running with the money, stopping in front of a dark alley and choosing a different route. You can actually see what's going on in his head: "He can't be everywhere. Why should he be there? Come on he can't be there....But what if he is?" Pure genius.
still hoping I can entice you to do Adventures of Tintin. Its a criminally underrated movie, especially considering the names that worked on it. Steven Spielberg, Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, John Williams and more. And I have never seen that style of animation anywhere else. Very highly recommended
This was the perfect amount on edgy, realistic, and comic like version of a live action Batman. Not 100% sold on the Alfred as I've pictured him as twig that can f you up in 10,000 ways but hopefully I'll grow into Andy Serkis in the sequel
Your inner jiraya at 7:00
Just a little fighting detail I loved. When Batman and Catwoman are having their scuffle, Batman absolutely manhandles her, even casually keeping her quiet while the room is swept.
Really sells the weight and presence of the Batman. Yeah he's a dude in a suit, but at 6'1 and with all that armour nearly 300 pounds, he's about as physically dominating as a person can be. Especially in an action movie environment where martial arts and training seemingly let anyone of any physical capacity and size beat up anyone else no matter the disadvantage, to have all his physical might overcome those rules grounds him as such a realistic threat to criminals in the this version of Gotham, especially when most of them are overpowering people with surprise attacks and desperation. By his world's standards, this Batman is legitimately a monster.
This and Top Gun Maverick are the best films of the year by a mile.
Was pleasantly surprised by Robert's performance of the Batman. Dude's come a decent way from his Twilight days.
Real star of the movie for me, though? The new Batmobile. The way they introduced that thing was like a dragon awakening. Hell on wheels made real. First time hearing the damn thing in the theatre with Dolby Atmos surrounding us? Goosebumps. Chills. Awesome.
He has been fantastic in everything he has done since Twilight.
One of the things Loved about this movie is Batman's whole operation felt like something 2 men with a lot of money could accomplish. The Batcave isn't a gigantic underground labyrinth that would have taken 1000 construction workers and several engineers to build. It's an abandoned subway. The batmobile isn't a one off supercar, it's a Charger with a suped up engine. Etc.
12:10 It's very minor, and you can best see it here, but i love how the reflective shine to his eyes from his video feed contact lenses gives him a White Eyes look, very much like The Batman Animated Series.
One of the best parts about this movie is that we get to actually see Batman so much. Most superhero movies has the hero out of costume for half the movie, cause the actors wants their face to have certain amount of screentime. It's a contract thing, and i'm so glad it looks like Pattinson didn't care about the arbitrary "exposure" most others do.
I'm so happy that The Batman got the "Cinemawins part 2" treatment. I mean it's a long movie but it has a LOT of good things worth mentioning about this movie to fit in one video.
In the car crash scene in the funeral, one amazing moment is when the phone rang...everyone flinched but the batman...or Bruce wayne...which is pretty cool win
I finally watched this movie a few weeks ago. VERY excited for this one! 🧡
Edit: I-i have to correct something. *Batti(n)son*
finally. the masterpiece gets the CinemaWins treatment, I've been waiting for this!! got to be my favorite movie of alltime
Someone in my theater audibly gasped at the scene at 7:41
like girl me too
Missed Win:
Chief Mackenzie: "I got you on assaulting an officer."
Batman: "No, you got me on assaulting three."
Badass good guy
