Yep, that was part of Batman’s arc in this movie realizing his approach was wrong. In his quest for vengeance, he was instilling as much fear into the victims he saved as in the criminals he beat up, which obviously was not his intention. He needed to be a symbol of hope for the victims, a hero who will make them feel safe not scared.

You forgot when Falcone called Batman Zorro. In ALLLLL origins of Batman comics, his parent took Bruce to go see The Legend (or The Mark depending on who's writing) of Zorro before they were killed.

I found it interesting that when The Batman went to rescue the people during the flood, they hesitated at first. It showed that, up until that point, he was viewed more as a villain than a hero. And the boy was the first one who took his hand, probably because of the connection they shared from the night of his father’s murder.

I surmised that the boy knew when he saw Bruce at the funeral he was Batman. The grief in those eyes would be immediately recognizable.

Small details: Penguin's feet are bound when they interrogate him after the car chase, so he's left to waddle after them - like a penguin. Also when Batman discovers Riddler's map under the carpet the beat of the music coincides with the steps Batman and the police officer take towards the map - strengthening the symbolism that they are "dancing" to Riddler's tune

@@silverhand8744 You’re absolutely correct. Matt Reeves stated that his two biggest influences when creating his version of the Riddler were Kevin Spacey’s John Doe from the movie Seven and the San Francisco Zodiac Killer. The Riddler uses murder, puzzles, and Riddles that he sends to the police as well as cryptic information that causes them to explore the physical clues left behind by the Riddler, just like John Doe does in the movie Seven. In addition to that, The Riddler’s overall costumed appearance is heavily modeled after the Zodiac Killer, right down to the detail where the Riddler wears his glasses over his mask just like the Zodiac. Personally, I love this interpretation of the Riddler. It gives him a lot more depth and it really helps him look creepy while still setting him apart from Batman’s other villains. Part of wishes they kept that Joker deleted scene in the film but I totally understand why they cut it out. They wanted to set up the Joker in a very mysterious way by saving his big reveal for a future movie.

I'm almost certain that the Riddler doesn't know he is Bruce. I think he genuinely hated Bruce and wanted him killed and I think he genuinely considered Batman his partner and thought they were friends. Kind of like a psycho stalker who thinks the imagined relationship with the one being stalked is real. This was my impression of the final monologue and why he was so upset. Sure, he was disappointed batman didn't figure it out but he was also pissed about being insulted by a perceived friend. I think that interpretation speaks powerfully to the message of the movie, that batman was having an effect on Gotham in a negative way. Also spoke to how crazy the Riddler was. One more piece of information to this theory. More clues were left labeled "to the batman" after the planned death of Bruce. If he was actually meaning to kill Bruce, why would he leave a note "to the batman" on the bomb and then later in the bat cage?

@ItsScapeGoated

Жыл бұрын

The scene where Batman saves the gothamites, Batman uses his chestarang to cut the rope. In this process he endes up losing it. I think him losing it is a physical representation of his rebirth as the Batman. He sacrifices his old ways to save Gotham and become the beacon they need. Now he can fill the emblem cavity with a more refined symbol that represents his growth.

Just watched, it's really good. One easter egg (I think) I noticed is Alfred mentioning to Bruce that he used to work at The Circus. I could be missing some comic context but to me that sounds like a nod to the John Le Carre novels, where The Circus is the location of MI6, which would line up with Alfred's background in the film.

16:14: That Alfred was the Wayne Family’s bodyguard is also supported by Alfred previously serving as a spy for the British Gov’t (which is also the backstory for Alfred in the comics and in BTAS.) Alfred says at one point, “I learned this in the Circus…” “The Circus” is a colloquialism for the British secret service during the Cold War. The term was popularized by John le Carré in books like “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”

Also, his whole backstory as a SAS soldier, independent security, and later spy is explored in detail on the show "Pennyworth." It can be found in services like HBO Max and Apple TV.

i think the Batman is proof that if u can follow the comic book story arcs nicely , you will end up with a great script!

I love John Turturro as an actor. When he was shooting pool when Bruce Wayne visited him, my thoughts went right back to The Color of Money. He played Julian to Cruise's Vincent. But John played an excellent Falcone.

Also the scene of the mass flooding, and Gotham being held under martial law has a lot of parallels to one of my favorite Batman stories, Cataclysm/No Man's Land.

I watched this movie last night. It was hard to see where Matt Reeves was for going in the first quarter of the movie...until I realized, that he literally found Gotham City and then filmed it live. This is by far the greatest live action adaptation of the batman comics ever. A fantastic portrayal of comics brought to life.

I’m really shocked that no one has drawn the parallel between Colin Farrell’s Penguin and Robert Dinero’s Al Capone from Untouchables. They look very similar and the old mobster style of acting is spot on. And we can’t forget the scars on his face. I mean come on, Capone’s nickname was literally Scarface because if his scar.

I noticed the Hush easter egg too, but it's worth noting that in the animated adaptation of the Hush storyline from a few years back, Hush actually turns out the be The Riddler, not Thomas Elliot. So if this movie's Riddler, whose real name we never actually find out because he's got multiple aliases, is maybe potentially the son of the guy who in the comics is Thomas Elliot's father, then this character could almost be seen as a sort of a Riddler/Hush hybrid. I mean, especially with the look, that mask is way more Hush than it is Riddler

Whether or not other people love the film as much as I do, I think we can all respect how many Easter eggs and comic book precedents influence the Batman. The director clearly paid high attention to the details.

You forgot to mention when Penguin calls Batman Zorro. Batman was heavily influenced by the story of Zorro. Plus in many versions of the comics, it's The Mask of Zorro movie the Waynes are leaving when they get shot.

I don’t think it was implied at all that the reporter was the Riddler’s father. It was a nod to Thomas Ellitott the villain Hush.

In other deep cuts, and I'm much less confident in this one, but the fact that the flood is triggered by bombed vans reminded me of the Oklahoma city bombing of 1995, which was carried out by radical neonazis, who had partially been radicalized online - which is sadly the route some people go when they are confronted with the very real systemic issues, blaming minorities for the issues and embracing nihilistic, indiscriminate violence.

No one else but me seemed to notice that every time Batman and Catwoman were on screen together, the music playing was very reminiscent of the music playing in Batman Returns when they're together. Slow, full of strings, sad...in fact the score used in the Batman for them felt like it was composed by Danny Elfman. It was a nice touch.

What an absolutely amazing amount of research done for this video. Outstanding work, sir 👏🏼

There were two things that my wife pointed out to me that weren't really addressed in this video. The first being that the Subway Terminal that Batman works out of is called Wayne Terminus. The terminus is where the train makes its last stop. The second thing I wanted to point out is that in the first fight scene Batman beats up the Joker gang to save the businessman, and then he leaves him scared and shivering and soaked with rain. In the final scene Batman saves all of the people in the stadium, but instead of leaving them soaked and alone to figure it out by themselves, he helps them get to safety. In my opinion this is showing that he has grown, and realized that being Batman means more than just beating up criminals, it means helping people who need it.

I liked how they made detective Gordon say "does this look like anything to you" to batman in the murder scene. Cuz reminded me of that actor whole in the Westworld series.

Amazing movie, though I’m wondering if anyone else noticed the large amount of similarities it shared with the Telltale games (I know not a whole lot of people played them). The Wayne twist, the cycle of corruption between Falcone, the mayor, etc, the characterization of Riddler (to an extent, especially the torture devices), even certain set pieces and shots (the truth about Thomas Wayne being revealed to Batman via a projector, a fight in a mayoral debate venue with Catwoman involved, overall Batman and Catwoman moments and shots, Falcone trying to relate to and pull in Bruce over a game of pool, etc.) I was even getting strong Children of Arkham vibes with the Riddler’s followers and orphans. I doubt Reeves had any real exposure to these games, so I find it pretty interesting how much they share in common.

i have a theory that since bruce knows how the mayors son feels and he could possibly recruit him as robin in a later movie which is similar to jason todds backstory.

Y'know, I thought the fact that the chest emblem is clearly a batarang blade would put to rest all the talk about it being made from a gun. I've said this 100 times at this point, but here we go again: NOTHING about that chest emblem looks like it's made from any part of any gun. Do people not know what guns look like? Because that's what I'm starting to think. EDIT: 'Also, his whole suit looks like it could be, like, made of guns.' Well, that definitely confirms my hypothesis. 😂

From the acting, to the score, to the cinematography, to just the feel of it.... Left me speechless.. easily 9 or 10/10

random one, but there was a store (maybe diner, i kinda forget) called Good Times near the beginning of the film. Def a reference to Good Time which Rob starred in and helped land the Batman role

Yes. That's because he was being initiated. They wanted him to beat up (maybe even kill?) that man who got off the train. That's why he didn't fight the Batman, because he wasn't a full member of the gang yet. You could tell that his heart wasn't in it. Batman saw that and that's why he let him go without beating his ass.

You missed the reference when penguin said to Selina when she was startled by Batman “don’t worry, mr Vengeance doesn’t bite” with the whole twilight

I newly just subscribed to your channel. You, alongside your team do an excellent Job!

One of the greatest bait-and-switches is how it introduces the Riddler before Batman. We are led to believe that the mayor's son (who in a possible sequel could become Robin) is Bruce, with decades of psychological conditioning behind that, but then we see the eyes of a man in the shadows. That man turns out to be the Riddler. And Bruce is fighting crime in the streets at the time. Perfect bait-and-switch.

Anyone else notice in the scene where Bruce is driving to the memorial there was crowds of people holding signs, and the last sign shown was someone holding the Riddler question mark? It really looked like that someone was The Riddler. His silhouette is pretty distinct.

When the penguin is left tied up he waddles like the penguin from the '66 TV series. The collar on the batsuit is similar to the one in batman by gaslight.

A very nuanced film. One that made me appreciate it’s many layers and one I will gladly re-visit

Very good work guys. But you should check more interviews of the creators, like Matt Reeves spoke about that he finds interesting that people thought that the bat simbol was the gun of Batman's parents murder, but he just wanted a utilitarian place for a knife. And also he said that he is not planning necessarily to use the joker in future movies, he likes Mr Freeze as a possible villain.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet but in The Batman there's a restaurant called Good Times and I heard that Good Time is the film that made Matt Reeve's want to cast Pattinson as Batman. It could be a reach but my knowledge of mise en scene makes me think it was intentional. Also a lot of people are complaining that Bruce Wayne wasn't playboy Bruce but if he were like that in the first film, it wouldn't leave any room for character growth. We even see that in the finale he inspired the villains. And he does mention in his closing monologue that he needs to evolve in order to achieve the goals he originally intended.

What a beautifully shot movie, met and exceeded my expectations. Love the Long Halloween aspects

I don't know if this was another small and subtle parallel between Bruce and Riddler, but I noticed that their street clothes were *very* similar as well. Dark, bulky, etc. The similarity is even closer when Bruce puts on his bike helmet.
