It's completely mediocre but has a couple of nice aesthetic choices. Ultimately it's not a real movie, it's studio meddling take to such an extreme it's no longer a movie. But that's most movies now.
>learned some buzzwords he wanted to use today
there was no studio interference you idiot. they cut it down but it's unlike any of the other production hell like snyder's because snyder was retarded in the first place.
>there was no studio interference you idiot
It literally started out as a ben affleck project before being overhauled multiple times including during production with extensive reshoots. It went overbudget to almost double the original budget. The main star said if it wasn't a hit he was quitting mainstream movies because the production was hell. You have literally no idea what you're talking about. Also have sex
I wouldn't call it worst, but it's certainly not one of the better ones. It feels medicore from the first to the last second. And about 30 minutes too long.
It's a movie called batman starring a character called batman who doesn't act like batman and isn't convincing as batman. Could replace him with a generic detective and it wouldn't change much.
At least Snyder has some idea who batman is unlike a studio lackey like Reeves who made the most generic movie possible.
Snyder's Batman feels like Batman. So what he killed a couple people, so did Burton's Batman and the original comics Batman. Matt Reeves tries hard to be Nolan 2.0, and his movie just comes off as an embarrassing rip off.
How does it feel like Batman?
Why do you think so?

The car chase scene starts really fun but the way it was shot and edited was just a little too disorienting for me.
I actually liked Dano's Riddler, him being a based autist was funny.
The ending of the car chase scene was defintely supposed to be like a cowboy western thing. They even made Batman's stomps sound like he had spurs (or whatever makes those metallic jangly sounds when cowboys walk into town)
I think it looked pretty good. It's still not as good as the truck chase in TDK, though. It wasn't set up well, I agree, and Batman is way too indifferent about the destruction he helped cause.
Out of all the things you'd cut you're going to cut the best action scene in the whole film? The reason it was so long is because they were trying to develop Batman, Catwoman and Riddler and to a lesser extent Gordon and Penguin and Falcone all in the same movie.

The best action scene was was the first two fight scenes. This dredge of a car chase scene was so unnecessary and unsatisfying. And it was all fake it's not like it was great stunt work.
They were alright, but I wanna see Pattinson distinguish his Wayne/Batman personalities a little more in the next one. Kravitz was better than Hathaway but the character isn't as interesting as she's been before.
Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale were completely okay letting this franchise die satisfied with 3 great batman movies and Hollywood just had to dig it up again and again. Better than Ben Affleck Batman (didn't see) but a far cry from being better than even the worst movie of the trilogy (DKR).
This movie would be a banger if these changes were made:
Fire Paul dano
Get rid of riddler character entirely
Focus on penguin and Falcone as antagonists
Do more groundwork characterization so we actually empathize with emo Wayne
Have Zoe Kravitz get her tits out
Have Zoe Kravitz get her cheeks clapped by Pattinson like Halle berry did by billy bob
Cut 25 minutes from the film
The movie would be a banger if these changes were made. >Bruce Wayne is a teenager and his parents are still alive >He is an emo blacksheep because he lives in the shadow of his father and the Wayne Legacy >He has an autistic interest in criminology etc that contrasts with his parents wishes for him >Parents are killed at the end of the first act >There's a cover up to protect the Wayne's public image >Bruce has to solve the case >In doing so he becomes The Batman
This isn't even a huge departure from batman lore. It's on the same level as Joker
>This isn't even a huge departure from batman lore. It's on the same level as Joker
Yeah, and joker is joker in name only, so it's a pretty colossal departure
Joker in name only got them a fucking billion dollars. At this point DC has to stop fucking caring about the source material. Most people don't give a fuck as long as you entertain them for a while with something. Comic nerds don't matter.
It made a billion dollars because let's face it, Joker is the most popular character in comics and Joaquin did a good job, even if it wasn't true to the source material. The hype around it didn't hurt, either.
I don't understand why they didn't continue his story with The Batman. Do a time jump, Arthur is older but wiser, maybe kill him in the sequel and make him do "an inspiration" so another Joker comes. I don't dislike the new Joker but would be kino to see Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Pattinson sharing screen at least once.

There's no THE Joker. Batman, Joker, all those characters, are not real characters. They're not literature. They're not "people". They're concepts, at best. Concepts you can use.

>Buckets of vague malleable traits aren't characters.
That's what comic book characters are, retard. We are not talking about beautiful written characters here, we are talking about characters made for children, and not the kind of characters in stories for children that were well written and told. Most comic book characters are one dimensional, and two dimensional at best. That's why they were used so often as just propaganda and still are. Remember Superman punching Hitler in the face? Not so different from Falcon giving a speech to a senator about "YOU GOTTA DO BETTER!". See?
Why? It's not like we are talking about a product of the week that has much value: comic books aren't classic literature. Batman lore itself is pretty vague, has millions of versions, and most of them contradict each other.

True but in that case we should also dismiss The Killing Joke for the same reason.
Not really because Joker is still in character for the whole story. They also hint he might be misremembering his origin, although I choose to believe it's the real one.
Man you guys are so gay. Go pick up a classic Batman comic book. If you don't like this movie you don't like Batman. Just go back breaking bucks and quit bitching.
>MUH Realism
The main cast is ugly and they look like two drug addicts and not two super athletes just because of that the WB has lost 40% of its audience, capeshit audience want to see beautiful people with athletes healthy sexy looks in a fantasy world and not some realistic nonsense
That doesn't matter, it's a comic book an half the shit doesn't make any realistic sense. Also, a wider opening in the mask helps prevent this weird Bat thumb look.
>That doesn't matter, it's a comic book an half the shit doesn't make any realistic sense >Nothing matters, everything is equally ok all the times.
Postmodernist homosexual
They were trying to be realistic though, but also failed spectacularly at it. Moreover, I don't want see to Batman's face. The allure of Batman is the big dark scary shadow, not the man. Bale looked way better. He looked like a giant bat, not a man walking into rooms.
I'd say they weren't trying to be as realistic as the average retarded capefan thinks. There's definitely some tongue-in-cheek moments like the gliding scene for instance. I think there's a little more camp in this movie than in Nolan's and that's on purpose.

Dark Knight Rises has aged into the Worst Batman of all while the Schumacher and Burton movies get better with age.
Begins is still boring.
Batman vs Superman is not a Batman movie.
The Batman, Batman Returns and The Dark Knight are literally peak. The holy trinity of Batkino.
>It's not a pure Batman movie like the rest, it's a sequel to Man of Steel.
I'm a huge Snyderfag but this is true, the Snyder movies are all ZSJL projects, they aren't stand alone batman or superman movies.
What else do you want from Scarecrow? They kind of got all the best parts. Katie Holmes is a beautiful woman and that's all her job is. I could argue The Batman didn't do enough with Riddler and Penguin. They certainly didn't do enough with Maroni even though his arrest is essential to the story. Only hardcore batman fans can even understand what's happening and who he is.
See you make an excuse for the Riddler barely appearing in The Batman but complain about Scarecrow in Begins, who appeared way more, and actually fucked up main characters like Batman and Rachel. Referencing Seven doesn't change that.

But Scarecrow isn't the villain in Begins, Raas Al Ghul is. Scarecrow is like Penguin only instead of getting his own show he shows up for smaller roles in the next two movies. Nolan utterly wasted Cillian and Scarecrow.

Not at all. Ras was an actual mentor for Bruce. He had a fatherly relationship with him and helped shape in some ways. And Ras and Bruce actually had fights, unlike Riddler and The Batman.

Skipping to Tim but not even naming him to be epic and original was a double retard idea
>>"I just had to look at you once to realize you were Batman because I was an orphan you see"
Obviously this was super retarded like most of the movie's plot. However, the relationships between characters was kino. Specifically Bruce and Alfred, Bruce and Lucius, Bruce and Gordon, and Bruce and Robin. There relationships were heartfelt and soulful the entire trilogy. They are emphasized even more in Rises, which makes that movie more soulful than most. Plus the whole actual film making thing with real stunts and fights.
It's amateurishly directed/written: the cinematography has some weird angle choices and uneven lighting. The music themes (Darth Vader ripoff/Ave Maria chords) are repeated too often. Many of the dialogue lines are trite.
I enjoyed it because it felt different from the usual capeshit schlock but there were issues like Catwoman should've been cut entirely, Alfred wasn't very good but I can understand why they went this way and the ending is a bit bleak, Riddler won and you think showing him having an autistic freakout moment changes this?
>Riddler won >The best Batman can achieve is saving a few more people in the final stage of Riddler's plan and have a moral epiphany >Riddler being a giant perfectionist egomaniac is not satisfied with his grand work being tainted
People complain about the last 30 minutes but it's lasting effects on Gotham and Batman justifies it imo
this shit was at least 45 minutes too long
catwoman didnt need to be in the movie at all, she was so uninteresting
a few of the riddles were good, wish that they gave batman more detective things to do. they tried but i wanted more. he should have really outsmarted the riddler somehow
i like he was a little more grounded, but at the same time he survived way too many bullets and i csnt emphasize how unbelievably bored i felt during the majority of this movie. i cant say that about the nolan movies
NO ONE in the history of batman media has ever found the mob part to be the most compelling part of it.
why would you base your movie around it? the riddler is so irrelevant to the plot he disappears from it for 45 min.
the great cinematography is the only reason people are fooled into thinking this trash was good.
In The Batman sequel, he is gonna institute a city-wide ordinance to stop the incel menace. Proof-of-sex passports will be needed to go anywhere in public.
So you haven't seen Batman v Superman, The Dark Knight Rises, or Batman & Robin then?
i have. thats why im saying it
It has some lower points than those movies with the woke politics, but it's till better overall than any of them.
It's completely mediocre but has a couple of nice aesthetic choices. Ultimately it's not a real movie, it's studio meddling take to such an extreme it's no longer a movie. But that's most movies now.
In which aspects of the film do you detect the interference of the studio?

True. I sort of enjoyed NTTD but it was just a generic spy thriller that happened to star a charater called James Bond. It was not good.
Batman forever is also worse but THE BATMAN was much more boring
Those movies were at least focused on telling a batman story. This movie had other priorities.
I wouldn't call it worst, but it's certainly not one of the better ones. It feels medicore from the first to the last second. And about 30 minutes too long.

This. Everything the second unit director shot was better than what Reeves shot.
The car chase was completely unncessary and too long. How the story set it up was terrible, and the result was terrible (a Spanish lesson).

Is Batman the main character in Gotham City fighting one of his rogues gallery?
Can you say that about BvS? Because I definitely don't consider Lex, Supes or Doomsday as a part of his Rogues Gallery
So every Batman story where he leaves Gotham isn't a Batman story?
Seeing Batman on top of skyscrapers in china in IMAX, kidnapping a bugman, then going back into a plane was peak kino
That's a fucking BAT-man right there
Does he even fight a recognizable name in Gotham in BvS?
Does he fight any of his rogues in Gotham in the Snyder cut of Justice League?
I've seen the theatrical version and the only thing he fights there is a fuckin bug.
He fights somewhat better bugs in ZSJL, it's a bit weird but less jarring than the theatrical cut.

I could argue The Batman didn't do enough with Riddler and Penguin. They certainly didn't do enough with Maroni even though his arrest is essential to the story. Only hardcore batman fans can even understand what's happening and who he is.

By the time he's enjoying the mass fear on his horse he gets tased in 5 minutes and sent off. He felt like a leftover from Batman: Triumphant.

You could argue that, however he's not gone for good and they're giving him a miniseries somewhere down the line.
See you make an excuse for the Riddler barely appearing in The Batman but complain about Scarecrow in Begins, who appeared way more, and actually fucked up main characters like Batman and Rachel. Referencing Seven doesn't change that.
I don't care about Paul Dano Riddler as much as I care about the wasted potential of Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow.
Plus The Batman gets away with by out kino-ing Begins.
So you admit the villain is worse in The Batman, but also claim it's more kino? What type of retardness is this?
But Scarecrow isn't the villain in Begins, Raas Al Ghul is. Scarecrow is like Penguin only instead of getting his own show he shows up for smaller roles in the next two movies. Nolan utterly wasted Cillian and Scarecrow.
So now we are comparing Paul Dano Riddler with Liam Neeson Raas. Dano Riddler was better in 5 minutes singing Ave Maria than literally all of Lima talkingtalkingtalkingtalking, simple as.
Not at all. Ras was an actual mentor for Bruce. He had a fatherly relationship with him and helped shape in some ways. And Ras and Bruce actually had fights, unlike Riddler and The Batman.
Again, you can't cite tv shows and other shit that isn't in the actual movie, to argue the movie was better or worse.
>Ras and Bruce actually had fights
1 million jump cuts
3 Hours of Cinematic Art, Begins just can't compare.
It's time to admit the only good Nolan Bats was The Dark Knight
No because Begins was better. Pure batkino.
More like puree
>Plus The Batman gets away with by out kino-ing Begins.
This doesn't mean anything, you're just a low IQ Fincher fanboy.
Paul Dano clearly had ZERO direction from the director on what to do with the character. A lot of the scenes look like he was told 'just act crazy', 'just act retarded'.
>just act like someone from Cinemaphile
It was perfect.
>You could argue that, however he's not gone for good and they're giving him a miniseries somewhere down the line.
Won't be in The Batman movie though, so that's irrelevant.
>What else do you want from Scarecrow? Him running a biotech company selling gene therapy vaccines that make people insane so he can sell them the cure.
Rises is aging better and better because of new capeshit. It's the illogical, emotional movie of the trilogy. Some people want that.
Shit Catwoman
Shit Robin wannabe
Silly Bane voice
Decent Talia with a silly death scene
Don't disagree there except with the Robin criticism.
>"I just had to look at you once to realize you were Batman because I was an orphan you see"
>"I like your first name... Robin"
Skipping to Tim but not even naming him to be epic and original was a double retard idea
>>"I just had to look at you once to realize you were Batman because I was an orphan you see"
Obviously this was super retarded like most of the movie's plot. However, the relationships between characters was kino. Specifically Bruce and Alfred, Bruce and Lucius, Bruce and Gordon, and Bruce and Robin. There relationships were heartfelt and soulful the entire trilogy. They are emphasized even more in Rises, which makes that movie more soulful than most. Plus the whole actual film making thing with real stunts and fights.
>Begins is still boring.
Filtered.
Zoe Kravitz is the worst Catwoman of all. She is even below the versions of the 60's show
What a shit tier opinion. Julie Newmar is the best Catwoman.
seethe and dilate
It's amateurishly directed/written: the cinematography has some weird angle choices and uneven lighting. The music themes (Darth Vader ripoff/Ave Maria chords) are repeated too often. Many of the dialogue lines are trite.
Checked wdjom
Mmm yes Nolanfags, feed me your delicious (You)s
I enjoyed it because it felt different from the usual capeshit schlock but there were issues like Catwoman should've been cut entirely, Alfred wasn't very good but I can understand why they went this way and the ending is a bit bleak, Riddler won and you think showing him having an autistic freakout moment changes this?
>Riddler won
>The best Batman can achieve is saving a few more people in the final stage of Riddler's plan and have a moral epiphany
>Riddler being a giant perfectionist egomaniac is not satisfied with his grand work being tainted
People complain about the last 30 minutes but it's lasting effects on Gotham and Batman justifies it imo
It was literally reshot so the riddler lost.
The only part of the movie I liked was watching Zoe in her outfits. The rest was forgettable.
this shit was at least 45 minutes too long
catwoman didnt need to be in the movie at all, she was so uninteresting
a few of the riddles were good, wish that they gave batman more detective things to do. they tried but i wanted more. he should have really outsmarted the riddler somehow
i like he was a little more grounded, but at the same time he survived way too many bullets and i csnt emphasize how unbelievably bored i felt during the majority of this movie. i cant say that about the nolan movies
NO ONE in the history of batman media has ever found the mob part to be the most compelling part of it.
why would you base your movie around it? the riddler is so irrelevant to the plot he disappears from it for 45 min.
the great cinematography is the only reason people are fooled into thinking this trash was good.
To be fair, it's far more interesting than the mob stuff in previous batmovies
This version of Falcone was better than the guy in Begins
Kino
FILTERED
Nah it's a good movie and every complaint I've heard about it has been literally retarded.
AAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEE MARIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAA THIS ISN'T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO
It's not as good as people say and it's not as bad as people say. It was fine. The ending was where it dropped the ball though, it was just dumb
it really was.
In The Batman sequel, he is gonna institute a city-wide ordinance to stop the incel menace. Proof-of-sex passports will be needed to go anywhere in public.
