[InstantKlassik]

Just got home from seeing it a few hours ago Amazing Me and my girl LOVED IT. My favorite Batman ever it feels like. Can’t wait to give it a rewatch.

The tone and score

Zoe

The amount of gifs that can be made from Pattinson’s facials in this movie

The movie looks great, sounds great, the cast was great for the most part, the score was great, but the length mostly due to the story choices not holding my interest brought down the overall package.

Spoiler

When it first started it felt super-duper grounded. So much so I felt like Batman was out of place. The whole time during the first crime scene investigation I was with the cop who stopped Batman. The fukk is this dude doing here? It felt like I was watching Mindhunter but Holden was wearing a Bat suit for some reason. Legit felt my ability to suspend disbelief being challenged. After it got a little more fantastical the feeling subsided and I bought in. shyt had a nice run for a good hour 25 or so of being a cool detective story with action sprinkled here and there. Penguin was my favorite character in the movie. The highlight of the shyt was the car chase. Shame they gave away the ending in the trailer. After Penguin was out of the picture the story kinda got lost in trying to close too many threads. Having Falcone tell that story to Bruce only to turn around in the very next scene and have Alfred say nah it was Falcone was weird. A lot of that shyt during that 25-minute window between the Renewal reveal and Falcone getting shot could have been trimmed down or outright cut. Once they got back to Riddler I was back on board but even that started to drag when they had to do the big flood/stadium set piece. Much preferred the relatively small-scale stuff he was doing in the first hour. Paul Dano started hamming it up a lil bit too much with the yelling. By the end I was lukewarm on Riddler's portrayal. Strong beginning and middle but a fumble on the ending. Also, Matt Reeves, act like that Riddler meets Joker scene didn't happen my guy. shyt was no bueno. As far at Pattinson goes he played what he was given well but to me he wasn't given much. He didn't even have the dynamic of Bruce to play with because he was just as dower as he was when he was Batman. Probably the least interesting version of Bruce/Batman since Val Kilmer.

Might be a small spoiler look out for a certain 3 second background blurry cameo from a bruce wayne from a past batman movie...he's a cop in the scene. Its quick but you know who it is immediately if you know...


Btw guys...that musical score my lord...exquisite

 

[MenacingMonk]

Spoiler: Riddler Gang Gang

Who was Riddler's main homie?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Just got back from watching it

It was very, very good, but it was about 30 mins too long. Shocked that F-bombs were actually dropped.

@Bruce Wayne called somebody a motherfucjker?

 

[Apollo Kid]

I was getting Se7en vibes throughout the whole movie

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Really good movie my girl and I were impressed. 8.5/9 outta 10 for us. The cinematography was world class. It literally felt like I was watching a graphic novel. Especially with the fact it felt like 30 min of the movie there was no talking just visual after visual after visual and was still captivating. I found it great that riddler was able to be the mastermind that he truly was. I do wish he dropped more riddles or more captivating ones that’s my only draw back. I felt like TDK joker narrates while the Batman narrates this whole movie and it woulda been good to see riddler get some riddles off besides the FaceTime call.

I’m calling it now probably top 3 superhero film of all time. TDK, The Batman, The Winter Solider…

I really feel like the bats and tws are similar with the whole mystery but the bats vibe was so powerful throughout the movie. I really feel like synder wanted to grab this vibe but didn’t capture it, reeves really made Patterson thrive here.

 

[The Wolf Among You]

I just finished watching this, and I can totally understand this being a hit-or-miss with a lot of people. But damn if it wasn’t a hit for me, this is the closest Bruce/Batman has come to his comic counterpart we’ve gotten on screen. And I loved every minute.
I think people forget how much of a weirdo, emotionally stunted, depressed, borderline crazy person Bruce actually is to go around whoopin’ on criminals in a bat suit. And all the sane well-adjusted human beings never failed to let him know that. So good.

Wow!


So this is where me and my fellow DC Stan’s respond and rebuttal all that.

but I just wanna skip to the part after I get fake angry at you and call you names and then for no reason bring up other movies and other companies to shyt on you, question your intelligence, and derail the thread
