Thanks bubba. I just seen it. Saturday
Holy cow, congrats on the Joker audition there, Cody!
Sounded more like Chucky to me.
@@gabrielarredondo3825
Ironically both played by the same guy at one point.
apparently they have already cast their Joker 😒
@@awesomeproductions7755lol, true!
Barry Keoghan’s deleted scene is might as well have been the most expensive audition tape ever made.
This was one of the best explained movie reviews (and without spoilers) i have ever seen of any movie. If all of your movie reviews (or even just the movies you were emotionally vested in) are like this, you definitely have a new fan. Heck, you have a new fan just based on this review and not just because you said what a Batman fan wants to hear. A lot of reviews have been glowing, but i feel i know so much more about what this movie (without giving the movie away) is going to deliver and how it delivers it based on your review...
Thank you
All his reviews are like this! That's why I love this man and his opinions!!!
He knows movies more than most reviewers I've watched/read.
@@BakerReviews I agree, the man has a gift...
@@OlJackBurton He absolutely does. I strive to be like him. He was my inspiration for starting my own channel!!!
That laugh in the opening was really good!
That laugh opener was everything!!
Haha
For 20 years I’ve wanted to see a David Fincher Batman. This definitely looks to be the next best thing.
It’s garbage
Indeed 💯
@@Fiveash-Artno
@@Fiveash-Art you’re dumb
@@Fiveash-Artnot enough action scenes?
Awesome joker intro 🔥🦇
I'm seeing the movie Friday. Cannot wait. I've heard nothing but good things and I'm really excited for my long awaited wish of seeing an actual detective Batman put to film
Same
Saw it yesterday and it was great!
@@TheRealBGregz it is a detective story. But Batman is a detective? It is more of a Batman story than any other Batman live action movie. Third act is kind of out of nowhere but still enjoyable.
@@TheRealBGregz it was deliberate. He cannot differentiate between Bruce and Batman. Because Batman is his real personality. By the end of the movie I think it was pretty much implied he will become playboy Bruce in the next one. Now if In the next one he is the same Bruce then I will agree but I will need to see the whole story before I make that distinction
Catwoman: Gotham's rich has white privilege
This is an actual line.
Dont see it.
The Batman was phenomenal it’s was really well shot and had really good tension I think Batman fans will be satisfied with this movie and it feels like a horror film at some moments please go see this and I recommend seeing it in imax it’s worth it!!
I don’t think it’s a movie for everyone. The casual moviegoer could definitely get bored at parts, but for Batman fans it’s a amazing movie that’s got you on your feel start to finish. Didn’t feel like a 3 hour long movie to me, I thought it was fantastic
@@cryptic9807 some people think this movie is boring but tbh I loved it yeah it’s a slower burn movie but this was the Batman movie I wanted for years
I felt like a ten year old boy in that theater....what a ride! A+
This was definitely a zero year Batman portrayal.
2 year Batman
I don't think it could really b zero year , considering the Joker is already locked up . Unless the Batz wasn't the one to catch him .
@@stophatingeachother9762 It's very much so zero year in many ways. The guy in jail isn't the Joker yet, he's just John doe at this point. It's quite heavily influenced by the Synder run.
One of my most anticipated movies ever honestly, can't wait to see it! You giving a brand new movie a 5/5 is a first, I've never seen you do that before, so that justs tells me how incredible The Batman is!
Dude, you continue to amaze me! Your reviews have more detail than any other channel on TH-cam. That's not a knock on other channels as I love Uncle Sean and Chris Stuckman, but I've always enjoyed your love of cinema and the attention to detail you put into every review...
Cody Leach will ALWAYS be my go-to for an opinion on movies, TV shows and video games!!!
Thank you!
@@CodyLeachYT No man, thank you for being my main source of inspiration! I love movies, but before I started watching you, I never knew how to express myself on TH-cam...
Thanks to you, I'm more confident in myself and I will continue to watch you at every opportunity! Doing a video with you would be my bucket list check mark!!!
The trailer for this, and now your review, made me feel like this was paced the way The Joker was paced. That it had action, but it was definitely more story based. Im so excited that you got this experience and that it was everything you wanted it to be. I can't wait to see it.
Best superhero movie I’ve ever seen. When the critiques of the movie are that small, it warrants its praise. Beautiful film.
Just saw it today. I walked in with zero expectations and as soon as I heard the voice over dialogue I knew this was going to be a crime noir type of film and I was going to love it. I’m very happy with the choices they made. Definitely one of my favorite live action Batman’s.
Surprisingly Robert Patinson makes a good Batman, I loved his performance in the lighthouse (I know you weren't a fan of that movie).
His performance was incredible in The Lighthouse.
Shouldn’t be surprising at all
@@Dvdfco Well when I first heard that Pattinson was going to play Batman I was a little sketchy, and when I saw the trailer I was blown away by how well he fits the role.
@@beeking1792 like Cody said in the video, watch good time if you haven’t!
Shouldn't be surprising. The guy has given some really good performances in smaller films like the Lighthouse. I thought he was great in Good Time as well. I know a lot of people hate him for Twilight but the guy has been putting out quality performances.
It’s darn near perfect. I remember when Robert was casted has Batman I was like really but he killed it. The best Batman we have seen on film. Fantastic film.
I think Pattinson is now my favorite Batman it was Bale before but I will say Bale is still a bit better as Bruce than Pattinson but hopefully the sequel can improve on that
This is my first time seeing this channel. Oh man what a detailed review and as a fan of Batman character himself, he really appreciates every major version of live action Batman. Why couldn't more people be like this man. If your are fan of something that doesn't mean you have to completely hate other versions of that characters. True fans will try to find joy in every portrayal.
the battison is the best betman so far don't @ me
Yo, that laugh at the beginning sounded like Chucky. This should be interesting.
Loved all 2 hours and 56 minutes of it. Dano's take on Riddler was fascinating with the spaces between his words and the uncomfortably long breathing. Also agree with you that they did an excellent job pushing Riddler/Penguin to the side in key moments so they never took over Batman's film.
Only potential negative is that sequel setup you're talking about as I was hoping for something... more fresh after we haven't seen a Riddler on screen since 1995. But Matt Reeves has all my faith after this spectacular film.
The detective story angle intrigues me. Your review has me even more excited to see the Batman 2022! Thanks for this awesome review Cody!
I absolutely love this review. So good to see someone showing unadulterated joy at a movie. Now I want Cody to IMMEDIATELY watch and review the Adam West Batman movie. 😄
This movie was awesome! It is exactly what I wanted. And I absolutely agree on the score being overused.
That intro alone to this video got my attention.
I'm going to see the movie on Sunday. I'm really excited to see how they approached this detective concept.
Random note.... but man you’ve come along way with just how you review and breakdown movies. I wasn’t interested in this at all but now I want to watch it. Well done
Thank you buddy. Really appreciate you saying that! I hope you check it out and enjoy it.
Since experiences are different for everybody it actually surprised me how the pace was for me, I've complained about long movies like It chapter 2 and even endgame. There was a small point in the middle I thought it was too long, when it got close to the end I was shocked it was ending, it was so engaging it did not feel like 3 hours to me. I didn't walk out going that was amazing but it's slowly getting there now. I finally got the penguin and riddler version on the big screen I've been looking for. I need to see it again to fully appreciate it.
All these early audience reactions have me so fucking excited. I already got my t-shirt and my tickets for Saturday (wanted to go Friday but probably waited a day too late to get tickets 🥲) and I haven’t been able to think about much else. I probably won’t watch this whole video until after I see it, but I guess I just like to torture myself by making the hype unbearable lmao
My hype is in outer space right now. Gonna be movie of the last 5 years, I just know it.
Video starts and Cody is villain laughing
This is gonna be good
I'm seeing it tomorrow and I'm beyond hyped
Battinson reminded me of the T-800 in the original Terminator. Scary, durable, and relentless.
Cody’s laugh sounds like the Joker
Kind of the intention lol
@@CodyLeachYT I know
I’m all for a Rated R Batman movie which I’m supportive of as long as it makes for a great movie and isn’t afraid to go berserker rage/beast mode
What about an NC-17 or an X?
@@ljack-dr7kx I’m on board with that
@@ljack-dr7kx batman xxx porn parody
Cinema snob reviewed it
The new apes trilogy is one of my favorite of all time, specifically Dawn, so for Matt Reeves to be still on par with that or even better, i’m extremely impressed
“Twilight guy?”
“No bitch, Good Time guy.”
🔥🔥
That intro😂😂😂 spot on
I completely agree. Being someone who has grown up on the comics and the batman animated series. Honestly my biggest gripe with all of the previous batman films is they didn't show his intelligence and detective prowess. He's called "the world's greatest detective" for a reason. And I didn't get that with the previous versions but this one is by far my favorite one and I am pretty picky on my comic book films.
damn that intro was something else lol
That intro was 🔥
That laugh at the beginning was GOLD!
Great opening! Lol psycho laugh perfect!
Easily my favourite reviewer. Love this channel, keep up the great work!
Cody, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I just watched "Seven" 3 times recently so I'm delighted to hear that there are similarities between the two films. Looking forward to Robert Pattinson as Batman. I was on board for that casting as soon as it was announced. He's a decent actor and I think that people should really give him a chance.
I saw the movie last night for the Early Fans Screening, and it was amazing!! And I'm with you Cody, that Batmobile was fire! The batmobile chase scene was so good.
I recently watched this movie and I loved it, Robert Pattinson delivered a fantastic performance and the musical score was brilliant!
Great review! I honestly liked it better than Dark Knight.. I thought the movie looked better.. great used of the shadows and dark areas.. the score and soundtrack was better.. and honestly.. i like Pattinson's Batman more.. whenever he would punch someone.. it seemed like it really hurt haha.. Just the way this movie felt was just right up my alley. My main negative was the car chase scene. Was I the only one who thought it wasn't filmed that great? The camera jumped around too much and it was hard to tell what was going on half the time. I wished they could of shown more zoomed out shots of that chase. Overall.. I LOVED The Batman.
23:17 you hit the nail on the head with that comment, to me this film did exactly what I hoped it would do and is probably my favorite Batman film.
On top of the cast and crew involved and the look of the film, the Riddler in that first trailer is what hooked me, I went in thinking this would be a very unhinged character, but I wasn't prepared for how unhinged he'd be. His opening scene gave me shades of Leatherface and Billy from Black Christmas.
This film got a 15 here in the UK (basically an R-rating but if you're under 15 you can't go) and it completely earned it for me without feeling excessive with the violence, instead it was the maturity of the story that earned the rating, from the first trailer it was clear to me that this isn't a film for kids.
I was fine with the Bruce Wayne depiction since as you said he's still an evolving character, seeing as his whole arc in the film is focused around him coming to terms with what Batman needs to be, it makes sense that the same would be true for Bruce's public persona. Plus there was never a moment for me where the public Bruce Wayne persona we all are used to would've fit or was needed.
I've seen it twice and didn't mind the runtime, about ten minutes in I settled into the pacing and the big finale added much needed energy to help it not feel drawn out, but it also didn't go overboard either like some other comic book films do in the third act.
I agree about the wink and nod moment being unnecessary, or at the very least I would've liked it more if it was maybe something different that was teased. I guess it depends on what direction they go with it.
Still, great review man.
the penguin was fucking Colin Farrell!!!????? holy shit i didnt even know that!
btw ur intro was awesome!
Matt Reeves did an excellent remake of Let The Right One In and the name of that excellent remake is named Let Me In
Just bought on digital yesterday. So while I can say it was no the dark knight, I absolutely loved it, in fact this movie captures everything you expect in a Batman movie perfectly and then some. I can’t wait to see where this universe takes the character but I’m all for more.
Mmmmm correction> the Schumacher films are actually in canon with Burton's films. Same Alfred, same Commish Gordon. They're always grouped together in a set.
Cool. Stylistically they have NOTHING in common...which is obviously what I was referring to.
Seen it tonight, my god, this is my new favorite Batman and now my favorite Batman film. It was everything I ever wanted. This is a masterpiece. 11/10
I had a fan experience & an opportunity to watch the Batman. What an awesome introduction to an even more grounded, young, and restless Bruce Wayne. With only two years for young Batman, the film is dark, it’s gritty and it’s all about the detective work. This is why we all love Batman because he has so many layers upon layers to explore. Matt Reeves just revolutionized the Riddler. Paul Dano was amazing, pretty much every cast is amazing. What I really like is that the film shows us how young Batman is scared to even fly off high-rise buildings still, but also throws out his body with no hesitation to enemy bullets, sometimes not being able to control his anger during a fight. He gets shot in the chest, punched in the head, and doesn’t give in. But above all it haunts him to see anyone get hurt because he’s still affected by the death of his parents. The cinematography is amazing, and boy the city of Gotham is just on another level. You’ll get scared to even pass by the city let alone live there. Shows the true nature of corruption and political deceives. Reeves created a unique Batman set just as Nolan’s was different than Tim Burton, as well as for Zack Snyders Batman. Each director builds their own unique elements and universe for Batman. Perhaps the greatest advantage is that character Batman is so versatile and any director can interpret it based on the excellent comic books written. DC needs to focus on these kinds of movies because honestly, they’re just perfect. I’m hoping we will get another amazing trilogy if it continues like this. My respects to all the previous and current directors for giving us different types of Batman. I really like all the Batman iterations since 2005. (Baleman, Batfleck. & Battison).
I saw the movie tonight with Dolby Atmos sound, and holy shit did that scene with batmobile starting up feel like a fucking horse kicking me in the chest! Lol
It felt like a classic story pulled straight from a Batman stand alone comic and I love it
5/5 holy crap. You don’t hand out 5s ever
Very rarely...and extremely rare for a brand new movie.
@@CodyLeachYT I know I’m surprised. I’m super hyped. Even movies you love like Pet Sematary was a 4.75/ 5. How about a 5/5 playlist? I can’t recall any other 5s you gave out, new or old.
What a fucking hero... he has been waiting...along with ens of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FOR THE SAME MOVIE...no but he has been waiting...people are dying at war right now and this hero needs some praise because he has been waiting. ladies and gentlemen, we have our hero of the decades, the one who has been waiting!!!
I am so glad I found you because of BCS, and love going back thru your videos that I missed!
there were a few adults who left the theater because they were so disturbed by Paul Dano's portrayal of The Riddler there were a few scenes that were incredibly dark this one is definitely not for the kids 👍👍👍
I saw it Tuesday and it was absolutely phenomenal. I was a massive fan of Paul dano in the film there will be blood and Robert has always had a good range as an actor. I am so happy that Robert wants to do a trilogy and more 🤘
I dunno why I’m watching this 2 years later, but I still bet that I would have been able to tell it was Colin Ferrel playing Penguin before the movie was over. During the club scene when Batman leaves he says something like “lemme know if there’s anything more I can do”. I heard Ferrel pretty clearly in that line.
Always wanted A Long Halloween, Hush Batman and Riddler. Can't wait to see it My kind of Batman movie. Hope you do a spoiler podcast style video about this movie
Yo, that joker laugh was spot on
The YT algorithm will never cease to amaze me. I’m a huge horror fan, watch scary shit on YT all the time … and yet, your channel wasn’t recommended to me until you did your The Batman review (also my most anticipated and still favorite movie of 2022.) Since then, I’ve been binging your channel. Great content- glad I finally found it. Subscribed!
A Batman movie where he’s doing actual detective work? Sign me up.
Something that really bothers me about BvS is that Batman's such a horrible detective. Like when we see Bruce looking up to the sky and seeing Zod and Superman fighting as the city is destroyed. That's the scene Snyder gives you to try and understand Batman's point of view. But I could never believe Batman is that dumb. The worlds greatest detective couldn't figure out Superman saved the entire planet? The fact he instantly determines he needs to murder the guy who just saved the world is pretty contrived.
@@faz1483 agreed
Bro nice IM shirt! I actually seen them on the Book of Souls tour and have that same shirt as well!
But dude I'm glad you dug this live. I'm so excited for it.
I'm planning on seeing it on Saturday I'm so excited
"There's probably even some fans of the Bat Nipples....we gotta give them a shout-out" freaking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I’m so EXCITED and I cannot HIDE IT!! lol
Everyone: “This score is fucking amazing!”
Me: “… it’s Nirvana 😂”
I still love how typically when he’s Bruce he has the backpack with him so he can put the suit on if he needs to
The one thing i was definitely curious about was Collins interpretation of the Penguin, and hearing you say that just gets me more excited, and just to see the movie overall is exciting...can't wait for this weekend
Unfortunately had to wait til today to finally see it and my god it's everything you could ever ask for in a batman movie. It didnt even feel like 3hrs, i was hooked the entire time. Just soooo much to love about it. Can definitely agree that the score didnt hit right in some scenes but it didnt really affect the scenes all that much. The opening was so well done, the first 10 minutes let you know that Matt Reeves has a true understanding of what the batman character is and that continued throughout the full film. Bruce being portrayed the way he is didn't bother me, seeing a Bruce Wayne in his traditional sense wouldn't have worked all that well for the story being told. I can see them giving us hints of Bruce helping rebuild gotham in the gothem pd and oenguin series and then by the time the next film comes out we see Bruce being a little more of what Bruce is.
All in all an excellent film 5/5 for sure.
A few things about this movie:
- it's really immersive. The first person shots really make it feel like you are in the movie
- Gotham: this feels like the Gotham city of the comics, a dirty run down city ridden with crime
- Bruce disguising himself while on patrol. It's something we haven't seen before in live action
The only negative I have is that the 3rd act does feel too chaotic to fit with the noir style it has throughout most of its runtime. Aside from that it's a solid 4.5/5
I’m happy to hear someone else wasn’t a fan of the tonal shift of the end of the movie, I was hoping for a more fitting end to the serial killer side of riddler, not turning him into a political terrorist
This is the version I have been waiting for. This darker version is my favorite version in the comics and I’m so ready to see it
Can’t wait to see this glad you enjoyed this so much !
That Arkham City thing you said was so on point! I swear I had the same exact journey, same game and everything. Wild.
Love the review brother, absolutely cannot wait to see this in theaters, I’ve been sooo hyped for it

Cody’s inner Joker unleashed
THE BATMAN WAS FANTASTIC I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART TWO 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
100% agree with music editing of the score. Was extremely distracted with the overuse of that part of the score.
Just left the theatre few hours ago. Loved it, & I agree with everything you said - including the mixed & negative.
That was an awesome opening
This review has me so amped for this movie now!!
With that intro...you need your own Netflix series playing either the joker or riddler
When Batman started that engine to the bat mobile the look on everyone’s faces told the whole story I loved that part in the movie
Batman 1 = Vengeance
Batman 2 = Justice
Batman 3 = Batman
How i imagine the trilogy playing out
I’m a Simple man. You upload, I watch.
I can’t wait! Not drinking anything all day so I don’t miss a second lmao
Why was that such a good joker laugh in the beginning
Hey Cody what's your favourite Batmobile of all time mine is Keatons. Much love from the UK.
Great review brother. The way you described the film sounds like everything I been waiting for. I can't wait to see it.
I haven't seen the movie yet......But what u said is a Setup at the end, What u said is the only thing that can be considered a spoiler,, is definitely (and this isn't a spoiler everyone cause I have no idea) a little prelude to the Joker......They just can't make a batman movie without doing that In some way
This Batman movie is spot on great
Can't wait to watch this film!!
I LOVED it. The batmobile chase was my favorite!
Perfect joker laugh
Just going through a bunch of reviews of this movie in anticipation of seeing in this Friday. This is the first movie I'll be seeing in theaters since the pandemic started
