To me this film is like Blade Dunner or Dune. The story is solid, but what I’m really coming back for again and again is the atmosphere. This movie gets so much out of sound design, lighting, score, etc, that most blockbusters don’t take advantage of.

Right I feel like that was so symbolic. When we someone experiences trauma and is left with PTSD they can sometimes remain the age they are mentally when the trauma occurred or split off and become an entirely new person. The little boy trapped in the heap of metal could symbolize Bruce (him as a child when he experienced the trauma) and Batman takes inner Bruce by the hand to lead him to the light. Now the two personalities are simpatico.. so to speak. Idk my interpretation I suppose.

To get an even better look into Edward/The Riddlers mind and motives you need to read Riddler: Year 1. It's a six issue comic based on him a year before the events of The Batman and basically explores what Edward goes through to get to that point in his life. There is currently 3 issues out and they're incredibly well written and the art suits the tone of the character so well. It's also written by Paul Dano, the actor who played The Riddler. You come to find he's not as uncaring as you assume but he's really just incredibly mentally ill and doesn't know where to channel all his negative emotions. Obviously only 3 issues are out so he's due to get more character development in the next 3 but yeah. Very good read, I certainly recommend it.

Nice work. Good points, good commentary. Some sharp applications of modern screenwriting philosophy around character wants, needs, etc. I also like how you tied in the themes from Last Jedi, and counterpointed the flaw of Infinity War. I hadn't put my finger on why Thanos feels like an empty character, but you caught it nicely. We don't see how he arrived at his plan. He explains it, and even provides visual aids, but this just isn't the same as showing. He never actually comes together as a character, because we never actually understand who or what he is. He's just a threat. I loved this film, but I definitely feel it could have stood to make more of Catwoman and Batman's connection. I felt like Catwoman ended up getting less development than she deserved. The film does a great job early on showing Batman's total lack of interest in her needs or feelings, but I felt like this sets up the need for Batman to get schooled a little more harshly over his callousness. Not just an off the cuff mention that he's probably rich. I feel like Catwoman is the perfect character to really lay it out for him that he's not the only one in the world who's known loss. Riddler can belittle Bruce Wayne's loss, but Catwoman could come from the other side, pointing out that Batman isn't alone in his suffering. The movie touches on that, but doesn't really dig into it. Annika's death should have changed everything for Catwoman, but we didn't get to see directly how badly it affected her. That whole plotline felt clumsy, missing opportunities to strengthen the movie's core themes in order to rush to the Batmobile sequence, which felt tacked on, no matter how cool it was. But hey, that's just one man's opinion. Still probably the best Batman movie to date. Which is a miracle in itself, considering it emerged not only from the turmoil of the studio, but also the pandemic.

I still remember the EXCITEMENT during the Penguin chase and the Batmobile going through the fire

I liked it a lot when it first came out, but the more I watched it, the more I loved it.

All ''THE BEST'' things this movie brought us: - The best ever Gotham in live action (not debetable) - The best ever Batman in live action (my opinion ofc) - The best ever Bruce Wayne character arc live action (also my opinion) - The most realistic Batman ever. (thats not debetable) - ONE of the best villains in superhero movies (opinion but quite not debetable) - By far the best ever Riddler (not like he had much opponents)

Loved the idea of a Bruce Wayne being addicted to batman. To deal with trauma people often use an escape, and end up diving deeper into darkness. Bruce indulges in this escapism this to the point where Gotham suffers because he’s ignored his responsibilities as a Wayne. Really unique perspective on the character I’ve never seen before. Also the cinematography and set design is unmatched. Every single shot uses movement, perspective and focus in a unique way, not a single shot is wasted or taken for granted.

Couldn't agree more!

This is film and it's 12min theme "Sonata in Darkness" has been the backdrop of my life since it came out 👌🏻

I think the movie had more potential. The trailer got me hyped for the movie, but there were definitely a lot of flaws; story plot holes, overuse of swearing, mediocre fight scenes and the second part of the movie didn’t really have a payoff. In comparison to the dark knight (not fair I know), it really isn’t the best Batman movie.

Safe to say for me that this movie is on a whole other level despite my stance on the Dark Knight trilogy being the best iteration of the character. It took a few viewings for me to really grasp Batman’s arc even though I did understand the basic idea the first time I saw it and your analysis also helped. There’s a lot of great potential for future sequels, and I’m really excited to see what the creative team brings next.

I love this movie, people that hate on it just don’t understand where Matt Reeves is trying to go with this version of Batman

Although a minor character, Batman’s interactions with Penguin are my favorite. Hope to see all these actors in a future addition - they certainly left the story open for expansion (they put Riddler in the cell next to the Joker - what could go wrong there?). 😂
