The most important moment in this movie is when Bruce hears one of the Riddler's henchmen use his signature line, "I'm vengeance". That is the moment Bruce realizes that he can't be JUST fighting for vengeance as The Batman, but also needs to be a beacon of hope as Bruce Wayne. I thought this was a perfect portrayal of Bruce when he's first starting out and hasn't realized how to use his Bruce Wayne persona for good yet.

I can't get enough of how perfect his casting is, not just as the Riddler, but as a grimdark version of Frank Gorshin's Riddler straight out of the '60s. Paul Dano's resemblance to a young Frank Gorshin is uncanny, and it's only when the Joker puts a sense of humour in him that you start to hear Gorshin's iconic, completely unhinged Riddler laugh start to filter into a character who was angry and humorless all the way along. Everything about this movie, from the young Riddler's ongoing, incomplete growth into the mad laughing Riddler we know, to Batman's recognition that he still needs to develop Bruce Wayne into a fully-fleshed-out cover identity, to his obvious still-present fear of heights, makes this feel like an early-stage Batman that nobod, not even Year One, has given us before. It makes me excited to see more of this, which I guess is how you get a sequel greenlit. Well done on all accounts.

This movie was just a couple of scenes short of being classified as a "horror" movie, rather than a "superhero" one. The Riddler was just a fancy "serial killer," going around and killing public figures on some twisted path of vengeance. And the overall dark tone of the movie's appearance was also very reminiscent of a slasher flick. This Batman wasn't the best (I'll still love the Nolan trilogy most of all), but it was definitely DIFFERENT! In the same way that "The Joker" was different. Honestly, WB should have slapped a "Black Label" on this film, and they would have gotten away with it.

I honestly really really disliked this Riddler which is a shame as he is one of my favorite batman villains I was hoping for something a bit different personally.

The way I view it, the “alter ego” was Bruce Wayne, not the Batman. This was the most true-to-comic version of Batman. He was originally billed as “the world’s greatest detective”, and this movie was a true detective movie rather than a superhero movie. The entire casting was genius. Cheers guys!

About his haircut: this is supose to be a young Bruce Wayne. At the time of the story he was Batman for only two years. He hasn't the calmness, the experience and the super dope gadgets yet. This also explains his suit (the mask) and vehicles, it's all "selfmade".. I think we will se some big changes in the second one, when he finally accepts that he can use the fortune of his father for good..

Paul Dano is an AMAZING actor he really puts his entire entity into his characters that he plays hes amazing in ALL of the movies he plays and he brought his VERY own version of riddler and i love it so much

I think a lot of the comments have addressed this already but this is an early version of Batman (Year 2) and at this point Batman and Bruce are indistinguishable; Being Batman is all Bruce cares about and its deeply impacted his personal life which is practically nonexistant. This Bruce is also still confused about his role as Batman and basically just goes out every night to take out his grief on criminals and as we know his perspective changes by the end of the movie on what Batman needs to be. Riddler was right saying that Batman was the real him, the Bruce persona will come later. If you guys havent already I recommend you read some of the comics that inspired the movie like Year One, Long Halloween, Batman: Ego, No Mans Land. I also recommend Batman: Black Mirror which is Dick Grayson not Bruce, and Court of Owls too just because theyre both good reads.

This movie was awesome and I’m so happy to see I guys enjoyed it as well! They even announced that there will be a sequel coming!

14:03 I totally get *Nikki's* criticism at this point. However, as you said, he's only been _Batman_ two years. And as you saw in the film, his singular goal of being _"Vengeance"_ was not working. In fact, he believes it helped create _The Riddler.¹_ It had people afraid of him that shouldn't be (such as the guy he saved from the _Joker-looking_ gang, and the initial hesitation people had when he was trying to save them at the end). This film is showing his birth. He reaches a crossroad and decides to be _"Justice"_ (and hope) instead of _"Vengeance."_ And my guess is the picture is also telling us that his _Bruce Wayne_ persona is also going to be doing more going forward. And of course we see how his relationship with _Alfred_ certainly changes after _Alfred_ is almost killed. Great reaction, as always.😎👍 ··•🦇•·· ¹ ─ Of course they both have similarities (e.g., both being orphans, they both keep immaculate, almost manic, journals, etc.).

For Nikki as a reference to liking Bruce Wayne's personnality in the other movies. This persona "bruce wayne rich philanthropist guy" is created later on in the comics, as this is early between year 1 and 3 of being batman. later in the movie when the candidate for mayor says " you do nothing for this city unlike your father did" and Alfred saying you cannot be "just batman" and all... it's hinting at how eventually he will create this philantropist personna. This is very Comic accurate as Bruce wayne identifies as Batman and not as actual Bruce wayne in the comics. Think of it as Steven Grant from moon knight. An alternate personna to deal with real life people.

i thought this was the best batman movie that depicted him as a detective. like they emphasized him more of a detective than anything else and his answering of the riddles. man epic.

The score which was done by Michael Giacchino he cites one of the main influences being the Imperial March from Star Wars. Very perceptive.

Getting shot 100x, bomb blowing in his face and smashing into a bridge going around 50 mph. Not to real to me. Badass but not that real. At least show me some injuries he gets not past ones.

I learned my lesson with Ledger, never doubt a casting before watching the movie. And Pattinson didn't disappoint. First 15 minutes of the movie I already loved him more as batman than Christian Bale. No disrespect to Bale, he also was decent. But Pattinson's batman actually felt like he struck fear into criminals.

One of the best things about this Batman is that he makes mistakes, he’s not perfect. Real and authentic

That shot of Batman walking in the dark only being seen by the light from the gunfire was also a callback to a scene in Mat Reeves earlier film War for the planet of the apes in 2017. It seemed like a Batman moment when it came out back then and fits both films perfectly. Now you guys will probably think of this movie if you guys continue the apes trilogy and get to that part

Robert Pattinson did fantastic job. Its unfortunate that Nikki did feel the same. I really like this interpretation of Bruce Wayne. The grungy sightly unkempt look he had. Definitely got the Kurt Cobain vibe and aesthetic they were going for. The whole cast was pure perfection. In my opinion this is the best Batman live action movie to date

The chase scene with the penguin in a big theater with big theater speakers was an incredible experience. This movie has a great cast and some great acting and I love the very dark and violent tone they went with it gave some Se7en and Zodiac vibes plus the score was great and how they used the Nirvana song fit perfectly too.

It's a young Batman : he's not that skilled as Batman, and he doesn't know how to be Bruce Wayne, not realizing how Bruce Wayne has its uses too. He's still super angry, violent, taking unnecessary risks. We barely saw that young Batman ever in movies.

i like the little detail of bruce putting on sunglasses when he was in front of natural sunlight because he’s always in the dark

The Bruce she's talking about is much older i guess, this is a relatively a very young Bruce so he's bound to be a bit fiesty, angsty and stuff like that.

These are the characters before they fully develop into the comic book versions of the characters. It's the most faithful rendition to the comics and it's a trial by fire and coming of age story and a story of transformation from a symbol of vengeance to a symbol of hope by the end. Everyone killed it in the movie. This is definitely underrated, in my personal opinion. This is bob kane and bill fingers batman.

I LOVED this film. I get the reluctance to like Pattinson as Batman but you gotta remember, Batman is still in his infancy in this one. He mentions he's been doing this for just 2 years in the beginning, which explains the small mistakes he makes. He's also on the smaller side still. I can't wait to see the sequel. I hope he bulks up for it.

He's only been Batman for two years in this movie, so he's so consumed with living that Batman persona that he hasn't taken the time to come into being Bruce Wayne yet. Vengeance is his priority right now, and he hasn't realized all the good he can do as Bruce. I believe that in future movies, he'll slowly start to come into being more of himself, and the Batman will come out when needed most. Also, I need much, much more of Paul Dano as the Riddler. He was so incredible in this role.

As I understand it, they did the scene of Batman getting his parachute caught on the bridge. They had a stunt person do the crash and roll.

Nikki got to remember this Batman is young hes 2 years in, he hasnt yet developed the suave millionaire playboy persona yet. He doesnt yet realise he needs it.

This was so much fun, I LOVE that you both loved it. Damn good film!

Great start to a new franchise. That Batmobile and the Penguin’s makeup were incredible.

Matt reeves is so good, both his planet of the apes movies are extremely top tier as well. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Audio delayed for anyone else?

@@NikkiStevenReact Thank you very much!

Just watch this a few hours ago so this is perfect!

Can’t wait to watch this with you guys after work today! 🥳🥳

I was enthralled when I saw this in theaters. The closest to The Dark Knight for My favorite Batman movie.

Ben Affleck will always be my favorite Batman, but I knew Robert would replace Bale as my 2nd favorite when this came out. I'm glad I opened my mind up and gave him a chance. My mother wants his batmobile and I'm here like "god please no" LMAO

This was a fantastic movie!! I'm a Batman fan, this more of a Detective Batman story which I loved it was different and much needed. Your reaction was awesome keep up the great content the wife and I enjoy your channel alot!!! ❤❤

A good way to describe this movie is “7even (the Morgan Freeman/Brad Pitt thriller) as a Batman movie” with emo Bruce Wayne. When cross-examined with the comics, it’s very much a Year Two style Batman. He hasn’t figured out his public/private life balance yet, his costume has strong body armor because he isn’t as physically capable and able to dodge attacks yet, he doesn’t silently take out half a gang before any of them notice, he doesn’t have Batarangs but the symbol on his chest is removable and he uses it as a utility knife, he’s very emotional, savage, and feral when he fights, and much more. He’s sassy with Alfred because he’s at a stage where his only concern is his mission and he hasn’t achieved the “Billionaire Playboy” image.

The thing with superhero movies is they're only as good as the villain, & this version of the Riddler was fantastic, as an orphan myself I really connected with his story, the scene between Batman & Riddler in Arkham was so haunting & yet powerful, one of the best scenes in any movie from my perspective.

Well, that's simply not true. Batman Begins is outstanding, but it's villains, Scarecrow and Ras, aren't exactly great villains. Scarecrow especially seems kind of wasted because he has so little to do. Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of the best mcu movies, and those villains aren't memorable. Logan. X-men first class and days of future past. Great movies. Villains are nothing special.

This movie was Badass! I’m a huge Batman fan and I loved everything about it Robert killed it! The whole cast was amazing. This was like watching a live action graphic novel. Roberts mannerisms and body language especially the way he conveyed emotion using just his eyes was brilliant amazing Batman and riddler is creepy Af!

Robert is my Batman. " he wants to save Gotham, and he does so by making criminals shit their pants. What it's not working , he said so constantly throughout the movie. In the story Alfred treats Bruce warmly but they still have a distance. Alfred genuinely feels like the humanity Bruce once had has been gone in his quest to stop crime. Bruce is just awkward he's weird doesn't know how to act like a person. For example, Christian Bale Batman was a version where he needed to isolate himself for a time to understand what he needs to do, what he needs to become, but he never felt alien. Pattinson Bruce, Pattinson Batman feels alien. The dudes desperate for some kind of relationship that's beyond beating people's faces in but he doesn't allow myself to open up" - Brown table

Startled by the inset disappearing after '...someone's breathing heavy,' revealing the t-shirt.

I absolutely LOVED this movie.. I understand some people have mixed emotions, but as a film in general this was a masterpiece. Matt Reeves killed it! Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm fully invested now.

I totally understand Nikki’s perspective on a cleaner, playboy Bruce Wayne. Which she’s fine to have her own opinion because we all have our preferences/opinions. But I also think it’s a nice change of pace of exploring this side of young Bruce Wayne since we always see the cleaner side of him. Matt Reeves mentioned he wanted this Bruce Wayne to have that emo rockstar quality to him. Which makes sense for this Bruce Wayne and this world. So it’s all intentional. We’ll eventually get that clean, playboy Bruce Wayne we all know as Matt Reeves wants to develop these characters in the sequels.

This is incredible movies! Paul Dano looks such eerily as Riddler, it blow my mind! Also thanks for your reaction, I really enjoyed.

Literally sat in the theater with CHILLS when the Batmobile first started up....that sinister growl mixed with motorhead magic was EPIC...and the soundtrack...HOLY BATBALLS it was chilling and so dayum good!!

Nikki was right about the SAW feel, but there was also a Seven vibe to it. WHAT’S IN THE BOX. 📦👩🏼

I loved this movie! A young vengeful Batman who is coming into his own. Paul Dano did a terrific Riddler and I hope we get too see him in the sequel. And can we please praise the makeup on Collin Farrell? Looks amazing!

All hail the makeup on Colin Farrell!

The music is strangely reminiscent of "The Imperial March" from The Empire Strikes Back. The two themes actually share the same ancestor, a classical music piece that itself brings forth several connotations of evil and death. Chopin's "Funeral March." The somber, haunting classical tune first appeared in the 1830s and has since become synonymous with death and funerals, conjuring impressions of grief and pain which audiences learned thanks to its appearances in various media, most notably in early animations such as the Looney Tunes.

"I like that.. running on the side of the building" doesn't go well with " Looks like he's scared of heights.. which I can appreciate" . . .

This isn't a Bruce Wayne movie; it's The Batman...a film about a vengeance-fueled vigilante that the city is afraid of, BECOMING a hero in the eyes of Gotham. The suave mask of Bruce Wayne hasn't been realized by the young, angry Bruce just yet. That being said, as far as Batman films go, this is easily my fav so far. Perhaps it's because I'm an old fart, but I haven't been entirely impressed with most of them to date, though I did enjoy the Nolan trilogy. And that's saying something as I grew up with the Adam West Batman. ;)

I love the look on your face when the batmobile growled , the man inside us kicked in thats a muscle car at its best

One of my favorite blink-and-you'll-miss-it details in this movie is that the "adrenaline" Batman shoots himself up with is green, just like the "drops" that are referenced as a new street drug. Potentially laying the groundwork for Bane to appear in the future, because he gets his strength from "Venom," a green super-steroid which turns him into a rage monster.

This movie was ok, not bad, but not great, I think people were just super excited because there hasn't been a standalone batman movie in about 10 years, so they want to hype it up so much. like I said it was ok, there was quite a bit of filler for me, and the pacing was a little slow in the first half, it picked up in the middle. Pattinson was ok as this batman, I don't think hes a great actor, but he did a decent job on this role. This is only my opinion, i know others feel different, but glad you guys enjoyed it.

I agree with you 💯%. And for a "smart detective movie" with Riddler as the antagonist there were plot holes galore. It was almost laughable at times.

You can tell Nikki ruined Steven’s groove in the intro after she said she’s Batman 😂 His tone changed real quick, “That’s a different Batman” It reminded me of being a kid when someone would repeat you and you’re like “Don’t copy me😑”

Riddler is psychotic for sure but he was the right necessary evil that Gotham city needed as much as Gotham found Batman as a force for good. The city was so systemically corrupt that it needed a rude awakening and Riddler was the match. "It Can Be Cruel, Poetic, Or Blind. But When It's Denied, It's Violence You May Find" Answer: Justice.

I’ve been waiting for this one. Wish I could have caught it live but c’est la vie.

Finally A Batman Movie Carried By The Batman Himself...Easily tops Dark Knight for me

I respect Nikki’s opinion, however the comment about Bruce having long hair and looking so disheveled in this version is how I expected someone with childhood trauma to look, especially since this is supposed to be a much younger version of Bruce/Batman than we are used to seeing. I like the previous Batman’s but I like that with Pattinson’s Batman, we will get to see him progressively get better as both Bruce and Batman.

I don’t get why a lot of people don’t understand that he hasn’t built his Bruce Wayne persona yet. Matt Reeves has stated this multiple times. And so many people the first thing they nitpick about the movie is they weren’t sure about his Bruce Wayne. Bruce isn’t even sure about his persona. It was done on purpose. He’s more focused on his mission and not caring about anything. That’s why you see he gets hit and punches and shots without any caution. And that was his whole arc in the movie. Realizing he can’t just be vengeance. And I feel like she was basing everything on the Bruce Wayne persona instead of the Batman persona which Pattison killed. Easily on of the best Batman,
