Detective Batman at its peak! Great storyline. Just as dark a universe as we've come to expect from DC. The gloomy, gritty, dark tone of this film is exactly what I wanted. When you think the movie is over, there's more. Beautiful cinematography. Great score.

Not For Everyone
slightlymad224 March 2022
I just got out of The Batman
This movie really won't be for everyone!! Easily the darkest Batman movie yet. It is gritty, depressing and not a fun movie at all.
This isn't your usual comic book movie, it's a detective movie, with more in common with Se7en, than previous Batman movies. The first two thirds of the movie are amazing, at one point I turned to my son and said "This is a masterpiece" everything works and is brilliant, I was 100% enthralled, but boy does it drop the ball in the final act.
Of the cast Pattinson is great, Collin Farrell is ok, Zoe Kravitz was fine too, but she has zero chemistry with Pattinson (Keaton and Pfeiffer they are not), Paul Dano though, was incredible, especially in the scene in Arkham, whilst Geoffrey Wright is as great as he always is.
On the downside, It does have some pacing issues, and is really too long (though I'm not sure what I'd cut), and I really wasn't keen on the ending (I don't know if it is a comic book storyline they did), as I think the final act really lets the movie down!! It's here, in the final act, that you feel the movies run time!!
I was surprised there were only 36 other people in my screening.

Heavy going, but rewarding, until the ending.

A serial killer strikes in Gotham City, killing important political figures, and leaving behind a series of cryptic clues, only Batman can stop him.
It's certainly very different to all previous Batman films, it's definitely dark and atmospheric, but the pitch and narrative are very different. The Batman is told almost as a crime noir, made in a way that you could watch it in black and white to enjoy a different perspective.
Interesting in that it's a real exploration of the character, his past and family, we get a sense as to why this Batman is so haunted.
I wasn't blown away when I heard that Robert Pattinson was cast as Batman, Vengeance, but I was won over very quickly by him, clearly penned as a character with the weight of the world on his shoulders, this incarnation is dark, haunted, relentless, but strong and determined. Don't expect laughs or lighter moments, there aren't any.
Andy Serkis awesome as always, I thought Colin Farrell and Paul Dano were great too.
Great visuals throughout, Gotham looks terrific, and there are some terrific special effects, and a few duff ones too. I think Pattinson looked awesome in the costume, it was well designed.
The music was fantastic I thought, one of the movie's best elements, interesting seeing so much carnage played out to Ave Maria, a real juxtaposition.
I wish I could say it was without any flaws, as it is an epic, imaginative reimagining, one that deserved its success, however pacing is an issue, it feels long for the sake of being long at times, some scenes are painfully drawn out. Some of the dialogue was hard to make our at times too, was it me, or was some of it a little muffled?
What I really didn't like though, the ending, that has to knock a couple of stars of the rating, it just didn't work.
Interesting to see what comes next, this was an imaginative retelling.
7/10.

3 hours hero movie...
It might be quite an adventure for those who expect action-packed movies like Avengers or The dark knight.
The batman is not an action movie. It's a noir detective film.. Just enjoy the dark, moisty mood this movie has.
If you enjoyed movies like Zodiac, Se7en i'm sure you'll love it Go to the theatre immediately.

A must-see film for any batman fans, I guess that others may enjoy this too. Saw this in a theatre today, the age ranking I would give is 14. I've been waiting for a good batman film for 14 years now, and this certainly, most certainly delivers.
The Batman Year 2
knight-264041 March 2022
Approaching this review holistically as my favorite Batman is Kevin Conroy (sorry live action movies) - my credentials - an average fan, have read most of the Detective and Batman comics, watched most the DC animated shows and movies as well as live action films and played all the Arkham games and also the Telltale series.
To avoid spoilers, just commenting on the actual acting more than plot.
I didn't like the Batman voice but midway through it grew on me. Acting wise Mr Pattinson is impressive (but my favorite roles of his are as Neil, Cedric Diggory and Rev. Teagardin) - as Batman, remember this is Bats in year 2 and Mr Pattinson nails it as well. A fine actor (not better than Mr Keaton but that is childhood nostalgia maybe however just as batty as Mr Bale..Mr Affleck was awesome as well but scripting for him was below par).
Ms Kravitz was maybe born to play Selina (at least this gritty version). I honestly disliked Ms Kravitz in X-Men and Grindlewald but liked her in Big Little Lies. I was skeptical given her lack of martial arts but it is evident she gave her best during training and for me, her portrayal of Selina was perfect. Chemistry wise though, needed some work between Bats and Cats but nothing worth losing a star over.
Mr Dano, wow; Saw like sadist perhaps inspired by Mr Spacey a bit, a Riddler far from the kooky "riddle me this" we have come to know and enjoy but he gave in a performance no less than his stellar efforts with Daniel Day Lewis. I have become a fan of Mr Dano's acting.
Mr Serkis, just when I thought a re-imagining might go awry, there is Mr Serkis. He portrays Alfred so naturally, it's as if he is Alfred Pennyworth.
Mr Wright is a fair enough Gordon and without any fault of his, once you've seen him as Felix Leiter (as he was the best Leiter for me) it's hard to not compare his take on Gordon with Leiter. Also once you've seen Mr Oldman in and as anything...well Mr Oldman is my best Gordon (like Mr Simmons is my best JJJameson).
Mr Farrell was a believable budding Cobblepot and I hope he brings the same effort to the supposed spinoff (suffice to say I also had enjoyed his take on Bullseye..but InBruges is till my best for Mr Farrell).
Mr Turturro is limited but still impactful as was Mr Skarsgard.
Direction/Plot - I appreciate good work and Mr Reeves clearly put in an honest effort. I enjoyed his vision and never felt bored or distracted whilst watching his movie. He is not Mr Nolan or Mr Burton or Mr Timm/Mr Dini, but a league of his own and in this, he owned it. Thank you for not messing it up.
Story wise the movie is entertaining and well made - there is a threat, hero and allies must work to show their relevance and save the day - done quite effectively (not life changing but films rarely are, however storytelling is meaningful). Obviously production values are impressive and the cinematography is amazing. Set designs are useful while costumes are well thought out and used relevantly.
Overall - 10 out of 10 from me.

Gorgeous
eddiesnyder-132601 March 2022
For a hero movie, three hours is a bold attempt; At the same time, with a serious tone of narrative, it is extremely brave challenge. Like 'The Joker', this novel tries its best to create a three-dimensional character; At the same time with a ups and downs of the story, the success of the character image more rich and full. At the expense of course, the other characters are somewhat weak compared to the main characters. And this also leads to some of the emotional depiction is a bit abrupt, which is regrettable. However, whether it is dazzling brilliance, or shocking sound effects, or excellent screenplay, a number of advantages all make this is a high-quality work that cannot be overshadowed by flaws. And as the new Batman Pattinson, also with mature acting presented a qualified answer.

The Batman Is A Hell Of A Movie
HabibieHakim1232 March 2022
Matt Reeves The Batman is a hell of a movie, it is the darkest live action Batman movie ever made, and the longest one too, The Batman fills with a top notch action sequence that not only exciting, but it's cinematic too, the cinematography was just incredible, Michael Giacchino The Batman theme song has just become one of my favorite movie theme song ever, it's enduringly great, the action is perfect itself without the theme but they making it even more perfect with the theme in the background especially when Batman shows up, it really making me hyped more because of that, Colin Farrell transformation is as amazing as his performance as The Penguin, Paul Dano performance is giving me a Heath Ledger Joker vibes but not trying to be Heath Ledger Joker which is still great, Paul Dano The Riddler is still a terrifying and a very disturbing villain, Zoe Kravits performances as Catwoman was amazing though she is not as wild as Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns but boy did her gesture and look is as wild as Michelle Pfeiffer, and the Catwoman fighting sequence is definitely a win for Zoe and i did still like her a lot in here, and in the end we got The Batman himself, Robert Pattinson, all i can say about him as The Batman is that i hope everybody is starting to know him as the guy who play The Batman which is a really good movie and not the guy who play in the horrible Twilight film anymore because he is indeed an awesome Batman, now he was become my second favorite Batman next to Christian Bale in number one still, the story of The Batman itself is great, and my only problem with the movie is that there is quite a lot of particular scene that for me are just very slow or too slow, it's not boring but i feel like they can make it a little bit faster, if it's only one or two or three scene i probably still can forgive it but unfortunately it happens more than that, but at in the end The Batman is still a hell of a great movie, it's still amazing and it's still incredible, i was impress by most of the thing that happens, i was excited, i was hyped, i was stunt by all the amazing thing that they've done, The Batman is fire!!!.
The Disappointing Batman
AdrenalinDragon5 March 2022
Wasn't a fan of Emo Batman. Sorry Robert Pattinson. Film was just a bit bleh and felt like it was trying too hard to emulate Christopher Nolan and David Fincher. In the end, the mystery was a bit meh and not worth the three hours of what was mostly a run-of-the-mill Superhero film lacking much excitement or thrill. The Riddler was a bit lame too. Forgotten most of the movie and characters already. Underwhelming.
5.5/10.

Great Movie - No Spoiler Review
Shazam13031 March 2022
I was able to see the movie yesterday. So let me start of saying that the movie is amazing.
The tone and the visuals really hit different and it's a different Batman movie than all the previous iterations. Matt Reeves and Peter Craig really are a skilled writer set and the plot, the dialogues and even the humor are sharply written! Kudos to both of them. The score of the movie is amazing! Please do not listen to it before the movie. You need to hear and see the combination of visuals and the movie. It's full on amazing. Michael Giacchino has perfectly crafted a score for ages. In certain scenes I could feel my excitement and my adrenaline pump just because of the score. It's a very long movie, so it really does take its time in developing the story and the characters. I found myself liking the first 2/3s a bit more than the final stretch but overall it was amazingly told from start to finish.
The visuals, fight scenes and the camera work is very well crafted too. There's no shaky cam scenes, no fight scene is shot too close. And one particular scene had my jaw dropping.
I tried to avoid all the trailers and promo material to not spoiler the movie for me so I kind of went in not knowing and from the opening the movie turned out to be way darker than I expected it to be. But it's a good thing honestly and I am full on with it if it turns out to be a trilogy. And with that said people will try to compare it to TDK which in my opinion isn't fair because TDK was the second Part in a trilogy. This movie here should be compared to Batman Begins. And to answer the question. Yes I think it's better than Batman begins. And if Matt reeves can keep up the good writing and really develop the story even more we might have a better overall trilogy of Batman!
And one more thing which I find very important. Since the movie is rated PG-13 i would still advise parents to have a second thought about taking younger children to the movies. It's a very dark movie and very intense. I personally think it's even a bit hard for some teenagers who might react sensitive to the themes and scenes of the movie.

A good Batman movie
FeastMode3 March 2022
The headline can be taken two ways. If you remove any hype or expectations, saying it's a good movie is positive. But if you are hoping for an amazing new Batman iteration, good means it wasn't great, let alone amazing.
This review will come off as negative but I did enjoy it. I love the tone. It's super dark and grounded in reality, even more than the Nolan trilogy. And it feels true to the character. Zoe Kravitz and Jeffrey Wright are great casting choices. It's a mostly well-made film and a good addition to the franchise. And the Bat suit looks awesome.
At the same time, nothing about this movie wowed me. I did not connect with the characters, especially the villain. The relationships seem undeveloped and not organic. I was not nearly as emotionally invested in the story as I should have been. It mostly feels surface level.
If you're a huge Batman fan, I think you will really enjoy it. But as a movie, I don't think it fires on all cylinders. The Nolan trilogy still reigns supreme. (1 viewing, fan early screening 3/2/2022)

Pages come alive
vespalavis1 March 2022
It was so good! The beginning, the narration, Bruce's voice, his accent, Gotham City, music and sounds... it felt like I'm reading the comic and the pages come alive in my head! It was great! And I live violence, action, crime... this movie has everything! Beautiful car scenes to strong fight scenes to memorable and emotional and dark scenes to those detective scenes... I can't find the right words. You have to watch it.
I was told it's about 3 hours but didn't feel like it. I could easily go on for another hour or more.
And one last thing, make sure to watch it on a big screen because it's very dark and detailed, a movie theatre would be the best place to feel the movie as a whole!

Overrated. Nolan has raised the stakes too much.
nickeron20 March 2022
A lot of hype, but the end result disappointed me.
It's not a bad movie. For me, it's mediocre.
With that big a budget; the music is not good enough, the story is all over the place and the running time too long.
Andy Serkis is a good actor, but a terrible cast for Alfred.
The way Batman was presented in this movie, I came to think, why isn't he just a cop after all?
The cinematography and sound design are 2 things that stood out for me.
Was I entertained?
I slept, I looked at my phone and my watch more than 10 times, impatiently waiting for it to end. No.
Would I recommend it? If it were a 6-part miniseries on Netflix, definitely.
For a cinema experience, no.

No fun
jdomar-8645319 June 2022
I've never been so bored watching a superhero movie. Is this the new standard? This movie has a good user rating, so I realize I'm the wrong audience for it. The dialog was awful and I'm not sure if it's the writing or the delivery. Probably both. None of the characters were interesting and most scenes felt awkward. But the worst part is the lack of fun. This movie is so dull.
Most Complete Batman Movie
rhrayhan-176951 March 2022
Unlike other batman movies..The batman shows us the most important aspect of batman( batman's Detective work) as well as combact skills and brutality.
First 2/3rd of the movie is absolute masterpiece But it has some minor flows BUT nevertheless everything about the was great Absolutely loved the film.

Most visceral Batman detective Film
vishwatej2861 March 2022
3 Hours run time is totally worth it.
This one feels like a proper Film not a movie.
A well mature dark movie which Batman character deserves.
Robert Pattinson as Batman and Bruce Wayne is the best casting choice after Christian Bale.
It's so dark, gritty, visceral and god damn great.
Colin Farrell as Penguin was Fantastic. Couldn't recognise him.
Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle and Cat woman was great. She was fantastic.
Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis were great too.
Casting was done greatly.
Batmobile was so f*ing great. When the engine revs, you will get the goosebumps.
Action scenes were absolutely f*ing great. Its loud, bombastic and visceral which will give goosebumps.
Fight sequence were absolutely gritty.
Cinematography done by Greig Fraser is another masterpiece from him.
Michael Giacchino music composition really great. It has that dark gritty grandeur theme music.
The dirty, criminality and madness in Gotham City, you will feel it. It's so dark and grey which Batman character needs.
Production Design is just brilliant.
Story wise this movie felt more to Detective Batman comic book and done outstandingly.
Detective Batman which is the original DC stands for.
I couldn't not find any error in the whole movie.
This is a well made brilliant movie by Matt Reeves.
Totally worth waiting for. Can't wait to see it again.

Best Batman movie ever made
siams-619411 March 2022
Robber Pattinson just outplayed the character,The way batman act,The dark effect,the detective mode.. It's really amazing to see,Speechless about Catwoman aka Zoe Kravitz and riddler's role was too much op. Brilliant movie ever made in history.
Lengthy and boring
yadavjhary5 March 2022
I went to watch the movie with an open mind and not setting any expectations. The first half had me gripped but there's so many loopholes and bad acting. Batman has the same face throughout the movie, that catwoman could have been avoided (I thought I had started to watch a romantic crime drama). The vilain is quite generic and while the whole cast seems fresh, there lacks a depth in their characters. They tried hard to show things from the perspective of Batman but ended up showing it from a Batboy perspective. Dozed off in the final hour of the movie. I watched it in IMAX for the thrill but the background score and music is just so flat and add no depth to the Batman movies we are used to.
Better Than The Dark Knight?
averygab1 March 2022
This film did exceptionally well on showing Bruce emotional side (partly because of the amazing acting by Pattinson) and had some good character arcs.
We all know that Bruce has a sort of relationship with Catwoman, but for me the relationship between Gordon and Batman stood out the most.
The Riddler is shown as a dark figure and is executed well with Dani's eerie, unsettling performance.
Is it better than The Dark Knight? It is around about the same level, but for some it could be better or worse.

marcflynn-205575 March 2022
I don't think pattinson makes a good batman and DC just don't seem to know how to make a decent movie its just disappointment after disappointment. I had high hopes for this new take on batman but I found myself squinting at the screen for most of the movie, I couldn't see the action properly! The movie was watchable but only barely.
AMAZING
ashkeczupq1 March 2022
A true detectie Batman movie. In my opinion best comic live action movie of all time. Just wow. Other hand when I saw reviews from some strange people of metacritic and rotten i was in shock. Most of the negative reviews are about how darkness and depressing this film is. For duck sake, this is film about THE BATMAN, not frinendly Spiderkid fan service movie. A truly i can recommend this film to overyone who likes comics/drama/detective movie.
TOTALLY GOAT OF ALL TIME.
TOTALLY GOAT OF ALL TIME.
This movie could be better.
joaoesps5 March 2022
I was so hyped about The batman when it came out and i started watching it, the beginning part was amazing but then the movie had no lights so i had no clue what was going on, the pacing was way too slow and it was a 3 hour movie, and most of the movie Batman was at the club so we didnt really see his bruce wayne side and Bruce looked like an emo.
Another awful batman movie
agusatu-809-1517915 March 2022
So slow, so boring and with so many scripts problems that made me almost leave the cinema twice.
1/3rd of the movie is worthless, with scenes as the one in the hospital that make you ask "why???"
Pattinson looks much better with the mask than Ben Affleck, much better. But when he takes the mask off he looks like a teen ager with a need of two slaps on the face. And the Ridller.... Really? Really?????
With so many great villians in Batman's history... Jack Nicholson, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Joaquin Phoenix, lovely Margot... Heath Ledger we miss you!!
Not even the batmobile is worth the ticket, and the motorcycle... Looks someone realized on set that they needed one and picked one randomly from the parking lot.
Another missed opportunity.
This movie makes me want to go to the movies to see The Darknight.
