WolverineX Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 So like, Riddler basically won, right? He didn't get Bruce, but he killed everyone else, exposed the corruption and flooded the city. Loved the film but I don't know what to make of that. William-James88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman still saved the innocent civilians from being killed like fish in a barrel. And that's the ark of the film. Batman actually becomes a hero at the end rather than a vigilante that inspires death. This film is still an origin tale in that sense.

Red84 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The first Batman movie to really feature Batman as a detective. Loved the film noir element. AGGIEZ, The Commissioner, D84 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Batman's theme sounds exactly like the imperial march from star wars. I assume they got permission and paid a hefty fee, otherwise they are going to be paying big time in court! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyFein Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This one was disappointing. Many touched upon the frailness of Bruce, and even Batman at times. I could even try to understand the reasoning, but it was tough to see. I know he was still fresh, as it’s the early days, but I wish he was a bit more fierce at times. If he was going to be dark, they should have committed to it. It might have been said, but him putting the flying raccoon suit on and then falling was killer for me. C’mon, where’s the great cape! C’mon. D84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This was my favorite batman movie. With Dark Knight coming in second. The Dark Knight is fantastic because Ledger's Joker is the best villain ever on screen, but the movie itself feels 40 minutes too long. This movie was 3 hours but didn't feel long to me.

Bosco685 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 I really liked how Batman had criminals so spooked every dark corner had them imagining he was there - waiting to pounce. That was some sharp storytelling like out of a solid comic book series of panels to convey how much of an impact Batman truly had on Gotham.

Bosco685 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 So the murdered reporter's name was Edward Elliot. So I guess that confirms further that Hush will have some impact on this Batman's universe. bentbryan, Larryw7 and The Commissioner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eastriver400 Posted March 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Batman didn’t win or lose. He evolved. I interpreted the movie this way based on 2 scenes in the movie. Batman starts out as vengeance and fear.. criminals are scared but crime goes up. Unexpectedly, he also inspires criminals (at least that’s how I interpreted the unmasked Riddler clone saying he is vengeance). by the end of the movie Batman becomes “hope” as opposed to fear and vengeance. Saving people during the flood and the one woman holds on to him after he gets her to safety. two seemingly minor scenes that defined the entire movie to me. Can’t wait for the next Reeves movie.

Maskedvigilante Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Is it me or did any anyone else had a hard time watching the movie because of the color grading?

I have a feeling your theater failed to read the Matt Reeves note about calibrating their project brightness for the film.
