About this movie

Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high‐profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman, Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin, Carmine Falcone, and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

That is 3 hours I am never getting back. Nothing new, if you take out all of the film filler scenes you can get this down to 1.5 hours and that would still be too long. Give it a miss or wait for it to come on TV for free. When will DC\owner of the rights stop hashing batman films. Let hom rest for a while and give us more superman, give us more characters just give us more. If not then stop

For the uninitiated The Batman can be very laborious with its runtime Matt Reeves/PeterCraig put a lot into the screenplay for this but for me it helps characterise and stretch out the story , like marmite people will always have their opinions but for me this adaption far exceeded my expectations this grips you from the start with the voyeristic POV of The Riddler and never let's goes , the camera and lighting oozes with perfection , I'm gonna give this a 9 out of 10 as a future classic

This is my favourite Batman movie. it's really the first time we see the World's Greatest Detective being that on screen, especially the first hour which is basically Batman investigating. The movie makes sense, end of the day we live in a post 9/11 world, The Riddler as a terrorist makes a lot more sense, he's far more creepy than Jim Carrey prancing around in a leotard... Hmm maybe not actually 😂 this is why I love DC, they're brave enough to make movies like this and Joker
