The Batman 2022

I can't watch Robert Pattinson as Batman. I'll just watch the Dark Knight again and again.

Worst Batman movie ever. Those costumes were a joke(And so we're the actors). At least the Batmobile was cool.

Like a solid punch in the gut, only you're the one punching for a change.

A hard-boiled Gothic grunge tour de force.

The Batman 2022
Lived totally upto the hype i had for the film. Matt Reeves totally did justice for the all the characters. The casting was too good to be said anything bad about. Pattinson, Kravitz, Dano, Wright, Farrell, Turturro were all simply brilliant. And the music by Michael Giachinno was such a pleasure to experience and the cinematography and editing were top notch work too. And yes the film had certain influences. Matt Reeves's Batman is a film that should be consumed in it's entirety.

Matt Reeves explores the detective side of Batman in DC’s latest relaunch of the franchise, The Batman. Batman finds himself drawn into a serial killer case when the killer leaves riddles addressed to him at the crime scenes. Starring Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, and Andy Serkis, the film has a strong cast; though Pattinson isn’t a particularly compelling Batman. And neither is the story for that matter. In fact, it’s needlessly convoluted. Also, the film’s near 3-hour length and slow pacing doesn’t help either. However, the fight scenes and chases are intense and exciting, and there are some interesting changes to the Batman mythology. Additionally, the score by Michael Giacchino is quite good, and helps to set a dark, noir-ish tone. The Batman is one of the weaker takes on the DC property, but is still entertaining.

I recommend the "The Batman Unmasked" fanedit.

i'm not going to rate it, because clearly i was not the intended audience for this movie. cinematically it is gold. pattinson's batman is also the most accurate to source material i've seen -

but this movie was so damn slow. i was so bored. it just felt unnecessarily long for no reason just so they could squeeze in all of the cinematic shots, and then the plot didn't make up for the wait.

this one wasn't for me.

It was a long film, but that in itself is a very neutral quality. I liked this film since it had wonderful cinematography, acting, and a respectable amount of action. It also had a plot that I found to be interesting, somewhat tedious in some areas, but overall strong with an alluring villain (who likes telling riddles)! Of course, there was chemistry between the main leads as well, which also helps to elevate this film. As a whole, the Batman movie was a long but fun ride, and I can't wait to see more from Robert Pattinson.

Pattinson is the best Batman ever.
he is so tortured, his emotions are sincere. He's the darkest and most precise batman out there.

the visuals and the soundtrack are incredible and take you into the thoughts of the character.

For me it’s a masterpiece.

I just want to thank the cinema gods for this absolute dream. It feels like I passed out and when I came to I could remember a very good and satisfying Batman film.

The Worst Batman Movie of All Time

Lost all interest when Catwoman made a woke comment about white privilege. Wasn't good before that and turned it off after that comment. Don't waste your time, worst Batman movie to date...

Fucking awful

Why the fuck is everyone whispering, all the time?
Everyone on this cast is irrelevant, no clue why any of them were cast for a Batman movie.

Could go to any crackhead in LA, give him $10 worth of crack and he'd make a better movie.

Sllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. terrible reboot. not worthy of your time. 2 hours 56 mins you are NEVER getting back.

Pattinson is poor as Emo Wayne. I like the setting and the look, but boy was it boring. A 90 minute film stretched out to double the length.

I don't make a habit of watching comic movies, but the DC content I have seen recently was a lot more fun and irreverent than the Marvel identikit movies. This, however, was as dull and portentous and po-faced as anything from the Marvel cookie cutter.

loading replies

Wow! I'll definitely need to rewatch this, but after my first viewing I can say that this is easily in the top 2 Batman movies ever made. I'd need to rewatch both this and The Dark Knight to decide which is better, but man was this a good movie.

Pattinson's Batman is the best version of the character to date. He is absolutely fantastic, and there's so much depth to his performance, and it was amazing to finally get the world's greatest detective on screen! Though, I will say that I found his Bruce Wayne to be lacking in comparison to Affleck or Bale. Not that he was bad as Bruce, but it felt a little odd. Perhaps because we're used to seeing Bruce Wayne as a billionaire playboy rather than a reclusive and 'emo' type.

The craft behind this movie must be praised. Every frame is stunning. Easily the best looking Batman movie ever made - Reeves truly shines here.

I'll probably update this after a rewatch, but for now, this is at least a 9/10.

loading replies

Highly recommended. Great cinematography, soundtrack and atmosphere.

More details, no concrete plot spoilers but I'd rather not spoil it for some who want to go completely blind: First half or two thirds of the movie are amazing, dark without going over the top. Last half or third of the movie is a little weaker (adding a lot of unnecessary clichés that had been avoided until that point, costing it its 10/10), but still very enjoyable. Was my favorite Batman movie until that point, now I'm not sure.

It's fine. It's not great, it's not bad.

It has the same problem that DC movies always have, it takes the natural ending point and then tacks on an additional 90 minutes for no good reason.

Pros:

Batman is a detective
Batman actually is a detective and a good one
Strong villain with believable motivations
Great actors

Cons:

Batman is a caricature of Batman - overly moody and dark
Bruce Wayne is also moody and dark - a pretty bad alternate identity
The tacked-on arc at the end feels out of place and goofy in addition to dragging the movie out (but had potential)
Redemption/development of Batman seems bland due to the lack of nature
Wayne subplot is uninteresting and distracting

I'd probably watch it again, but it's not a priority

As huge batman fan this movie is best live action batman i ever seen.i enjoyed every second of it. I understand some people don't like it cuz they never seen this side of batman in previous live action.
To me this movie is like reading a comic book . I love it!

im not a batman fan but WOW this movie its excellent i love it. battinson its just a GOD and ofc the riddler its the best villian ever !!!

The comments here really are a fine example as to why Batman has the most toxic fanbase in existence.

loading replies

Why? Why? Why is there another Batman movie? At this point, studios should be paying us money to go watch another remake of a movie. I really hope this movie flops so badly that they never think about making another Batman movie ever again (unless of course it's something more original).

I’m pretty sure this was supposed to be a 10h tv show, wrapped up in the worst possible way to get a big screen release, because no writer could do this abomination without a fair reason.

Horrible! I lost my interest after 30 minutes. Since 30 years it's always the same story, over and over again. His parents died and he wants revenge. Yes, I can't stand DC but I'm still trying to find something to like, but there is nothing. Maybe one of the worst movies ever made. What an utter waste of time. Oh, and why are they whispering the whole time and turn the techno music up? Maybe to distract from the fact that there is no story? Seriously, to make a movie with no story, you have to be John Wick, then you're at least cool. Oh boy... Sooooooo bad!

Horrible Batman, this should of went straight to VHS

Everyone is breaking their back to say how much better this version of Batman is. I think it is just "okay." Certainly gritty and dirty, but not all that "super hero-ey."

I think I'll just watch the Gotham TV series if you don't mind.

loading replies

It wallows too much in its own darkness, and once again the writers of Batman and superhero movies flaunt their poor grasp of realpolitik. But that's not the purpose of this movie and any superhero movie's. So just stock up on snacks and wallow along. Because it's damn fun wallowing. And everyone is so damn good. What's more, Batman is returned to his detective roots.

loading replies

Was kinda boring in a lot of scenes. The hero costumes looked cheaply made. Robert's voice as bruce and batman were practically the same. Not much action or gadgets to make him feel like batman. Glad I wasn't hyped for this movie, otherwise I'd be really disappointed. And thankfully, I saw it for free.

I liked many (not all) of the previous Batman movies for different reasons but this is the new benchmark for me. I liked every second of it and even at three hours I never felt bored.

This will also be hard to follow up because now expectations are sky high.

I don't understand what's all the praise about.

Just more woke Hollywood crap imo worst Batman movie I have ever seen, So bad in fact I’m not even gonna purchase it to add to my DC collection.

loading replies

It wasn't the worst Batman by any means but wasn't as groundbreaking or as entertaining as the series with Bale, or even Keaton. Pretty much boiled down to an emo remake of Batman Returns but Batman is more in touch with his feelings and the characters are a little more woke. I've watched The Dark Knight a couple of dozen times and I've seen the first Keaton version a few times but I don't think this one is worth a re-watch. Maybe the next one will be better but Pattinson doesn't make a very good Batman.

loading replies

wokeman to the rescue. Seriously, wtf is this trash. Batman needs to save gothem city from rich, white people?

Not sure who's idea that stupid trash was, but it's a good way to offend your entire customer base no matter what skin color they are, since batman is suppose to be a hero (or antihero in some cases) for everyone and not some woke social justice warrier.

They killed any idea of a shared world / universe as well, after the reboot of Justice league finally put them on the right track.

The movie is unnaturally slow, and it just grabs on for no reason at all at points. Act 3 should have just been removed completely.

They decided to make it pg13, which helped make it even more out of place. There were other odd submessaging, like all the white people are evil in some way but the black chars are good somehow.

Not to mention, they had the justice league chars in a TV show on hbomax like a week ago which doesn't line up to this at all.

very monotonous, I know Batman is the greatest detective in DC comics, but they had to make a movie that boring and why don't they use the other villains from his gallery, like Batman has one of the best villains galleries ever Super heroes.
When are you going to use Mr Freezer, Clay Face, Human Bat, Solomon Grundy po It's high time to get over the Nolan movies and move on and do something more different that captures the spirit of the 90's Bataman animated series

So... I had such high hopes for this movie. The trailer looked absolutely incredible.
I was so excited I went to an early access screening in IMAX, just to see it 2 days early!

But... not to be a Nolan fanboy, but the Dark Knight movies absolutely nailed the perfect balance between making Batman a cool, mysterious superhero, while also convincingly existing in the real world.
This movie works so hard to make Batman real that he is no longer interesting at all. The one time we see Batman try to fly in this film, he fails spectacularly and crashes HARD.

Want to see a realistic, gritty crime thriller like Zodiac? Watch Zodiac.
Want to see Batman? I recommend sticking with the Dark Knight trilogy.

An incredibly messy and janky script that doesn't know what it wants to be. It's stuck between trying to be a neo-noir detective story and a superhero movie with a supervillain and fails spectacularly at being either and both. So many scenes that are supposed to be tense that have zero stakes set up including the finale, which comes out of nowhere, dramatically raises the stakes with no setup at all and is executed awfully. And so. many. plot. holes.

This isn't a bad movie but it had no right being as long as it did. A tight 2 hour script that ended at a certain point would have made for a perfectly fine detective crime movie with a little bit of the Batman sprinkled in. As it is, it's a really meh film that ruins its own good parts with an equal amount of bad

3 hour film that could have been done in less than 2, very little action and an awful lot of meaningless chat.. Very disappointing film..!!

As a fan of DC and Batman character I'm so disappointed. Bad fighting scenes, the car is a joke, the bike is bad, fighting with the thugs is just nothing special, Batman most of time is just walking and staying passive, no action, no stunts, no dynamic, NO GADGETS?! The car is really bad, Is it just boring. The story is good but is presented bad. Maybe with another director. This one looks like someone who never read a comic book or watch DC animations. Only thing that I like is the darkness of Gotham - it was presented accurate. Where was the cave?. About Robert Pattinson I have nothing to say - playing the role good. It's director's fault that the movie is so bad. If you a consider to watch it and you are a fan - don't expect too much, you will be disappointed

loading replies

I really think all these high scores are from Covid lockdown and so anxious to see a movie anything would be good.

If you compare the villains it does not even come close in the trilogy. Also, the action scenes are weak sauce. Even the gadgets are so basic. I thought it was way too long with not much going on. It was worth a watch but not even close in my opinion to the trilogy of Christopher Nolan made.

I want to watch this again just to confirm my opinion on it, but this is a series of great individual Batman moments that struggles with connecting them together in a coherent package (which is surprising considering the amount of footage here).
Stylish, gorgeous and oppressively dark, this is possibly one of the best looks and takes on the character, but I can't help but feel like something is missing to make it feel complete. It does have the feeling that it's going to make a superb sequel though.

"It can be cruel, poetic or blind. But when its denied, it's your violence you may find."

This is the Batman I have been waiting for. I am so happy Matt Reeves is getting his chance to do a trilogy because this is what this character was needing. They are putting "Detective Comics" back into Batman. Paul Dano is incredible, and Gotham is so gritty and dirty, yet cinematic. It felt a little long and yes, the third act isn't perfect, but this film was a much needed direction change. Shout out to the incredible sound design team and the strong soundtrack.

loading replies

I went into this expecting it to be either atrocious or amazingly well done. I can tell you that DC may have fucked some things up in the past, but this was so refreshing. This was beautiful, suspenseful, and incredibly engaging. It's something new. I love it. Please if you're going to do something, go see it.

"Fear is a tool. When that light hits the sky, it's not just a call. It's a warning."

Let me start off by praising Robert Pattinson. He is so much better then I could've hoped for. Really enjoyed him as Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Anyway The Batman looks fantastic. The way Gotham is portrayed is simply fantastic. It took me back playing the Arkham games. Which is amazing. I also loved the slow-paced story. Almost no back story just drop us right in. We all know the Bat's story by now right?

Overall the cast is fantastic. Colin Farrell as the Penguin who you also don't recognize, Jeffrey Wright rocks it as Commissioner Gordon, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle, Andy Serkis not in a CGI role and Paul Dano as the updated Riddler. Fantastic casting.

So yeah the Batman is a great start of the new trilogy and hopefully Reeves will stay attached. The film looks fantastic, never fails to entertain and is dark and gritty.

A new Batman era has begun and who would've thought our Batman would be Robert Pattinson. Go watch this one ASAP. I'm off playing Arkham City.

This is the Dark Batman movie that Dark Knight Rises should have been.
While I still rate the Nolan Triology both collectively and individually as the best Batman movies ever made, there are elements in The Batman that far surpass what Nolan did in his approach.
The soundtrack is impecable, the cinematography hypnotic (that hallway fight lit by the rifles' shots looks amazing), and the cast is superb in its own way. I started this review by comparing this movie to the Dark Knight Triology, but you really can't. It's a whole different movie, not an action thriller, not the world's greatest detective, but rather a slow, deep cutting mystery where you see the Hero come to terms with his own flaws, his own grief.
This movie is a Journey and you should take it as such. Go into it with whatever expectations you have, and ler it take you somewhere else. Amazing!

loading replies

Very fine. But I don't think there is anything to say around this movie, and it really doesn't warrant any new discussion.

loading replies

Ben Affleck is still the best Batman but this film is the best solo Batman movie to date. I know a lot of fans love the Nolan Batman trilogy but I'm not one of those fans. As much as I rate Christian Bale as an actor, I didn't like his take on the dark detective. However Pattinson does a very good job of portraying Batman in his early years and with the backing of a great supporting cast who all do well in their parts, this ends up being a really good story that focuses more on the detective side of Batman's story.

I very much look forward to more of this Batman and his story.

I like the open of this movie a lot and the way the voice over plays out, you can visualize how it would be laid out in the panel of a comic book and I sort of appreciate the feel they are going for it just doesn’t ultimately land for me. I don’t really need Batman to be this dark and gritty, it starts to become self parody and the grounded realism makes the guy standing in the crowd with a bat suit on look goofy. A lot of this wouldn’t stand out as much if the movie could justify its runtime, but it ends up being a dull, long version of Seven that has a super hero bomb set piece at the end.

Not even xompleted or released yet - Due in 2022 but already 100 votes giving it a r ating of 84% . Some RP fans , Batman obsessed fans, DC fans - Distorting Real rating even before movie is seen by public to be accurately call a hit/miss. This is whay I do not trust ratings anymore because these obsessed fans cannot be trusted to leave unbiased ratings and reviews to them just a trailer is worth a 10/10. RT , IMDB , Crot* Critics of the past were more trustworthy with ratings and opinion. Pre social media reviews were honest and popularity etc was based on a great film being promoted by word of mouth i.e friends and family recommending to each other. A good film does not need PR, Falso* falsified ratings and disg* dishonest reviews from fans to prove itself worth the hype/awards.

For me, this was a breath of fresh air in the superhero genre.

Both Pattison and Dano delivered masterful performances capturing a dark and gritty Batmam that DC needed in a time full of over the top and over produced superhero movies.

The cinematography and score of this film are perfection and while long I didn't tire and was always kept engaged with the story.

I can only praise this film and can't wait to see what comes next.

10/10 - Outstanding film, a must see

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I like the extremely gritty tone and the OST is also good, but something is missing from this. I also don't like emo Bruce Wayne, he's a bit much for my taste. The flamboyant genius is more my jam. It's fun to see a more Detective-minded Batman tho, but it bugs me that he doesn't actually solve anything. What's the point of watching Batman if he doesn't prevent or solve a crime? Riddlers' plan was executed almost perfectly and he let himself get arrested in the end. Everyone who was supposed to get killed by the Riddler got killed by him and he blew up the dam so hundreds (thousands?) more died. But hey, guess Batman got a few people to safety inside the flooded stadium. What a joke.

I'm sorry, but I hate this Batman installment. So little of it rang true to the character, Pattinson is easily the worst Batman ever, he's just creepy. And honestly, 2 hours too long.

Of course, special effects are great, costumes are great, but oh boy is the slow and tedious.

To start, I loved this film. It wasn't perfect, but it was a top tier superhero film that leaned heavily into the detective aspect of Batman's lore. The mood was oppressive in how dark it was, the characters all flawed in their own ways, and world felt real & lived in. Pattinson was surprisingly a great Batman and Kravitz was an inspired Catwoman. The rest of the cast was also top notch, with Dano a terrifying villain. The few things I didn't like we're the obvious setups for sequels or TV shows or whatnot. Is it just not possible to have a self-contained movie any more? Barring those details, the hype is warranted. This is a hell of a film. Easily worth the 3 hour investment.

Very solid movie. Who knew someone could make an even more realistic Batman than Christopher Nolan. I thought it was clearly inspired by Fincher's Seven. The atmosphere, lighting and the plot.

I knew I'm going to like this when they showed the dark around the eyes makeup and also that it wasn't like 2 ridiculous circles. It was like a makeup gone wrong. Like every time he took off his mask, you think he was messy and he had cried a lot. Also this doesn't mean every Batman movie should be bleak and dark like this. You can try different things at different times.
