The Batman (2022)
8/10
Gripping, Living, Breathing Graphic Novel Comes To Life
1 March 2022
The Batman is grounded in realism like the Nolan films, yet drenched with a neo-noir pulp that captures the comic book vibe of Batman better than anything since the animated series like "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm". Matt Reeves for sure understands the character.

Finally we got to see a detective drama punctuated by moments of incredibly visceral action. Reeves's direction is dark, deep, intense & flooded with instantly iconic imagery! A live-action Batman movie unlike any we've seen. Beautiful and also Badass.

The script, performances, set pieces, & visual storytelling is phenomenal. Robert Pattinson shines as an emotional brooding Batman next to Paul Dano's terrifying Riddler. Zoe Kravitz and Colin Ferrell are so goud in their respective roles.

There are scenes that will forever remain attached in your mind. Also some of the dialogues in particular those with the Riddler will leave you speechless!

Tremendous music from Michael Giacchino once again! This guy knows the assignment.

Most likely this is the universe that must continue to develop at full speed, not the other one...
