In Matt Reeves' TheBatman, three idealogues broken by Gotham can relate in at least one way.
Matt Reeves' crime noir influence in The Batman permeates every corner of the near-three-hour film. The shadowy lighting, the crime scene investigations, and the parsing of the Riddler's encoded messages are reminiscent of works like Zodiac or Se7en . All the while, the story's themes only bolster this noir style, featuring a corrupting city's influence and how it can bring out the very worst in people.
Batman begins the film hoping to be a symbol for all of Gotham, one of vengeance that could devastate the scum and villainy of the city, slowly healing its wounds one microcosm at a time. He retreats from his public persona as the heir to Thomas and Martha Wayne and the massive fortune of Wayne Enterprises and dons the cape and cowl instead. Over time, Bruce's symbolism evolves as he reacts to the travesties of the Riddler and the Falcone Crime Family.
Each of these characters are disparate in their worldview and how they process pain, but it was only natural for them to be brought together based on their common desire, even if none of them would ever state what that desire is outright. But why does this matter? What does it say about us?
