A relatively spoiler-free review of Batman vs. Riddler vs. Penguin vs. Catwoman.
Sign up for ourNothing I tell you in this post is going to stop you from seeing “The Batman.” Certain pop culture institutions have become so deeply embedded as to be not only critic-proof, but everything proof. Vladdy Putin could unleash hydrogen bombs a week from now and, in the fallout, someone out there would still cobble together $200 million to make a new Batman movie where the latest flourish is that Alfred is played a Portuguese woman. You can’t kill Batman.
Yes. It’s a good movie. VERY good in parts. I’m gonna try to keep the spoilers to a minimum for this post. But if you’re still wary, read no further. I liked “The Batman,” and you probably will, too. There were multiple moments where I jerked around in my seat and went “OH S—T.” That’s the hallmark of any quality action movie.Oh my God, it’s so gritty. Gotham City looks like crap.
Pattinson’s Batman is a character defined less by who he is than by what everyone else in Gotham, near and close, thinks of him. That’s the whole meta subtext to “The Batman,” which I will leave for more annoying critics to pore over. All I’ll say is that a lot of people call Batman a freak in this movie, and they’re entirely correct. Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is more than aware of this, and on a certain level agrees with it. This Batman knows he sucks.
Again, it’s about details. You can tell that Reeves put thought and care into every aspect of “The Batman.” The production design has a backstory girding it. Gotham City looks spiritually run down, even in its moneyed enclaves. Nightclubs look realistically unpleasant. Wayne Manor is properly dilapidated. Bruce Wayne looks tired all the time. And the cast itself is fantastic. Again, when used properly.I told you about the frowning thing, but there are other missed opportunities.
