For yet another Batman reboot that was 3 hours long it did well. They just need to kick Reeves off the sequel or not let him have anything to do with the script. And try make it under 2 hours!
what did btman stop anyway?
riddlercel got to kill all the guys except bats and mayor. He even managed to blow up the city and get the whole place flooded.
Batman was kind of shit at his job tbh
>riddlercel got to kill all the guys except bats and mayor. He even managed to blow up the city and get the whole place flooded.
This movie would've benefited from Batman realising that playing Riddler's game was pointless and done some actual detective work to catch him. Felt insane seeing him look at those photos the Riddler took of the mayor at the Iceberg Lounge and then just never ask where those pics were taken from
Catwoman actress was also just plain bad. She looked cute but cannot act and only ha one pouty expression. The dual "romantic" bike scene at the end was literally gay as frick
I feel bad for the people who will hate an entire movie just because of a 5 second line or because one of the characters is black. They must live in absolute misery.
>huh hu huh they must hate it because of blacks
The problem with The Batman isn't that it has black characters, its because it is a terrible boring overlong film with a bad script, bad casting and bad dialog.
>The problem with The Batman isn't that it has black characters
funny, because half of the people in this thread say that this is indeed the main problem.
>Nooooooo why don't you, as a White man, like our anti-White propaganda?! Fricking chud!
There is no excuse for that line in the movie. Batman movies have never even acknowledged race before, but of course they had to have a line shitting on White people in this one. It's automatically the worst Batman movie for bringing cancerous identity politics into the franchise.
I didn’t mind Black person Gordon. I mean whatever. But Black person Catwoman annoyed me. b***h can’t act. And you know they didn’t look at anyone but Black person actresses for woke points
It was ok but way too long and boring
The writing was pretty cringe definitely needed a rewrite at least the dialogue
Also it was blatantly just copying the nolan films
>terrible casting with actors who don't look or act like the characters. Why is Gordon, the most obvious Irish name in the world, played by a black person? >Obnoxious and hostile propaganda built into the story. Why should I tolerate a movie that always depicts white characters as being corrupt, "rich privileged buttholes" and black characters as being the innocent, the city's salvation? >"Grounded" setting is boring and necessitates that characters from the comics are bastardized. We won't be seeing Mr Freeze in this world unless he's another generic killer who has a gimmick that subtly references his character, like stuffing bodies in an ice cream truck. They'll only use a character if they can find an angle that will allow them to further brainwash the audience. Riddler was used to make anti-establishment types look unhinged and psychotic. The fun and soul of a sci-fi fantasy universe is replaced by miserable identity politics. >Batman is an inept detective. He doesn't solve anything and only finds out about Riddler's ultimate plan when a police officer spells it out for him. >Resolution of the plot involves Bruce deciding that being a figure of fear doesn't help. It's a complete rejection of Batman as a character. This movie was made by people who hate Batman and want him to be something else.
Riddler made no sense. The trope of having him turn himself into the police made no sense. The last 1/4 of the movie made no sense. Taking Batman to such a grounded level that he doesn't even has a cape and has to use a wingsuit doesn't make sense when you then have him survive a fall at comical speeds with no injury. All of this, and the movie didn't need to be 3 fricking hours long.
Haven't seen the flick since it first released, so I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. That's just what stood out to me and are, in my mind, the biggest issues. The Riddler just didn't end up working as a villain. At all. If you really want to condense it down to one thing, the Riddler is the through line for all the problems in the flick
>Batman tries to locate russian prostitute for questioning on what she knows about that guy murder. >Batman locates girl. "Oh what's that... panties! Yummie" Batman forgets completely why he was there in the first place and follows a girl he didn't know and should not been a person of interest at that point. >later after pointless scene with catwoman they return and... russian girl is gone! Oh no what a shame. Who could have prevented this? Anyways... >"You're not my father" >Falcone spills the beans and tells Bruce that his father asked him to murder a journalist for writing mean things about Martha. >*literally the next sequence:* >Alfred survives a 1kiloton explosion in the appartment. He's in the hospital but Bruce knows 'the sekrit'. >Alfred wakes from his coma, instead of being happy and glad he is okay, "you lied to me, you're so mean I will stop being The Batman" >*not giving the audience nor the movie to marinate this idea, literally 1 second later:* >"No Bruce, you see, your father only wanted to SCARE the journalist, how was he supposed to know that this dangerous and crazy mob boss whom your father asked for help would actually KILL journalist? now go home and get your fricking cape and let this movie continue" >police loves Batman first, then want to kill him, the he's loved again. Wtf?? >in the fight at the warehouse: Catgirl goes for the money, opens the wrong bag and sees his bbf/roomate girl dead is she shocked and traumatized? NO, she lets out a gasp and some fake tears then escapes with the money. Russian girl is fricking dead because of Batman too. >epic batmobile reveal. Only good thing you'll see in this movie >dangerous chase through busy highway. Batman kills dozens of people but we get a cool shot of the Batmobile jumping above some fiery trailers and probably some innocent motorists burned to death >final scene:"welp, I guess this is it, see ya later" *they both go the sane way awkwardly*
>nonsensical script >villain is literally an incel >villain baraly in the movie >when villain is in the movie, he's terrible >3 hours of a non story >anti climatic end with black female politician assassination plot out of nowhere
What happened that made Cinemaphile hate this movie all of a sudden? I've only read good things on here when it came out.
I haven't seen it myself yet.
Batman fatigue... im literally fricking sick of seeing a Batman origins story, this was losely based on Batman Year Zero i guess, but after the Nolan trilogy which was a meme fest, and Afleck's depressed Batman i dont have any interest in the character anymore, and i love Batman since i was a kid.
Leti it rest for a decade then do Long Haloween and the Dark Knight Returns...
This. I loved Batman before was even cool to like Batman. Before Keaton movie. Everyone thought Batman was the Adam West clown showing up on Scooby Do. Comic fans knew better but wasn’t until Batman ‘89, Summer of The Batman
Now, Batman is boring and done to death
I hate capeshit in general but I kinda liked this one just because Batman was doing actual detective shit. My problems with this film are problems i have with film in general.
1) unrealistic depictions of the endurance and strength of the human body
2) unrealistic and ridiculous depictions of firearms capabilities and use
Like when Batman survives being shot at from 2 feet away by couple of assault rifles and he doesn't move an inch, literally Iron Man tier. wtf was that?
Were they full auto I can't remember? If they were full auto they fit the technical definition of an assault rifle. anti-gun gays keep trying to apply that label to semi-automatic rifles.
I'll give you like a slight leeway with body armor especially in a fantasy setting like capeshit. but the ending where all those "ebil incels" had scope big bore rifles and he's just hanging there with a CLEAR fricking headshot possible. Even if it's rifle rated helmet the kinetic force delivered at that range would have knocked him out or snapped his neck or both.
It's one of the better Batman movies and easily better than Nolan's shit, but of course it's not perfect. I found the Alfred sub-plot to be ridiculous.
>"The Batman, say, all these pictures the killer sent us...they are kind of similar, like they were taken from the same place. Should we take a look?" >The Batman: "no, let's follow these stupid fricking riddles and kill innocent people in the way, we will reach the same place but will take longer for no fricking reason. It'll be fun"
catwoman actress was shit and stuff like the joker scene should've been cut to bring down the run time
that's it. best live action batman and one of the top quinoa this year
>no playboy bruce
This is the best part. I've see plenty of playboy Bruce. You can argue THAT'S THE CHARACTER and you'd be right but still I've seen it all before and am sick of it.
israeli wokeism
Too many blacks
SOMETHING IN MY ASS
MMM MMMMMMMMM
mmmmmm mmmmmm
monkey pooooooxxxxxx
mmmmmmmmm
mmmmmmmm
Relatively few things.
For yet another Batman reboot that was 3 hours long it did well. They just need to kick Reeves off the sequel or not let him have anything to do with the script. And try make it under 2 hours!
Movie reminds me a lot of Superman Returns. Had a bunch of awakes scenes but as a whole was a fricking mess
blacks.
Too long
Too boring.
also, too stupid and shit
what did btman stop anyway?
riddlercel got to kill all the guys except bats and mayor. He even managed to blow up the city and get the whole place flooded.
Batman was kind of shit at his job tbh
its the first batman movie where batman was actualy more concern about SAVING people's lives than stoping the big bad plot
>riddlercel got to kill all the guys except bats and mayor. He even managed to blow up the city and get the whole place flooded.
This movie would've benefited from Batman realising that playing Riddler's game was pointless and done some actual detective work to catch him. Felt insane seeing him look at those photos the Riddler took of the mayor at the Iceberg Lounge and then just never ask where those pics were taken from
What did Batman stop in The Long Halloween, arguably his most popular story of all time?
Shhh, don't tell them that Batman actually fricks up a lot in the comics.
Something was in the way
It was boring and Dano flubbed hard
Too much filler. Catwoman was unnecessary and the movie should've ended when he caught Riddler.
Catwoman actress was also just plain bad. She looked cute but cannot act and only ha one pouty expression. The dual "romantic" bike scene at the end was literally gay as frick
Nothing. Best Batman movie after the Burton ones.
Shilling so nice he had to do it twice
Best Batman ever. Nolan is kitsch. Schumacher is a joke.
Nothing. Great film. Glad chuds hate it. Stay involuntarily celibate, "men".
I feel bad for the people who will hate an entire movie just because of a 5 second line or because one of the characters is black. They must live in absolute misery.

do you really think Zoe Kravitz is a good actress?
I have no idea, I haven't seen a single movie with her including The Batman. It is on my watchlist, though.
>Nooooooo why don't you, as a White man, like our anti-White propaganda?! Fricking chud!
There is no excuse for that line in the movie. Batman movies have never even acknowledged race before, but of course they had to have a line shitting on White people in this one. It's automatically the worst Batman movie for bringing cancerous identity politics into the franchise.
The writing was godawful, the direction was bland, and the acting was hilarious. Did you watch Riddler spazzing like a moron without laughing?
Someone post the webm where Batman smashes headfirst into a steel bridge abutment at 80 feet per second and then just walks away.
A movie with great atmospheric direction bogged down a bit by its writing
The perfect Catwoman but had to get a Black person who couldn’t act
she would have been better easily
that's a man
I mean she is part Black person too....
Anne Hathaway was more elegant and classy (though, unfortunately, less loose too)
Batman isn’t supposed to be a homosexual leftist he’s supposed to be a rich fascist that strikes terror into people
I didn’t mind Black person Gordon. I mean whatever. But Black person Catwoman annoyed me. b***h can’t act. And you know they didn’t look at anyone but Black person actresses for woke points
only Cinemaphile dislikes this movie.
getting really tired of you homosexuals
Normies hate this movie. Look at the comments under every The Batman post on Facebook kek
much better movie than what mcu shits out these days.
Felt like an episode of a tv show.
It was ok but way too long and boring
The writing was pretty cringe definitely needed a rewrite at least the dialogue
Also it was blatantly just copying the nolan films
>YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER
ill-fitting mask
every time a capeshit movie bombs, it's because the mask was ugly
prove me wrong
(you literally can't)
Nothing 🙂
It was fine, Cinemaphile just worships Nolan.
That one line. You know the one. Otherwise, it's alright. Batman is just tired.

Three hours.

That's a pretty short list of scenes that didn't make sense for a superhero movie.

And that's all I can remember for now.
Bro I think you might be autistic and I mean that in the nicest way possible way
I liked Gotham in the movie. Actually felt like a huge gothic shithole.
Atmosphere is kino, first fight scene is keno, then the movie shits itself with its pretentiousness
Didn't watch it because it's not interesting. That's it.
Nothing, its kino
(you) are an adult watching superheroes movies expecting great cinema
Not much.
Begins was well liked but didnt start the world phenomenon that TDK caused. Usually in a Batman saga the second episode is the best.
>nonsensical script
>villain is literally an incel
>villain baraly in the movie
>when villain is in the movie, he's terrible
>3 hours of a non story
>anti climatic end with black female politician assassination plot out of nowhere
What happened that made Cinemaphile hate this movie all of a sudden? I've only read good things on here when it came out.
I haven't seen it myself yet.
Or is it a loud minority like Breath of the Wild haters on Cinemaphile?
>made by a Netflix algorithm
>what if Villememe made a Batman movie, wouldn't that be cool?
Shitty Batman. He only saves one chinaman, explodes and kills a bunch of drivers and is mean to Alfred for no reason
How many people did he kill when exploding that glass dome right over their heads?
>and is mean to Alfred for no reason
he apologized off screen.

Now, Batman is boring and done to death
changed hands like 5 times before being released
It needed to be longer and have more aimlessly riding motorcycles around
and more Gordon looking grim and slowly saying "Hmmmm..." while looking at Batman
I hate capeshit in general but I kinda liked this one just because Batman was doing actual detective shit. My problems with this film are problems i have with film in general.
1) unrealistic depictions of the endurance and strength of the human body
2) unrealistic and ridiculous depictions of firearms capabilities and use
Like when Batman survives being shot at from 2 feet away by couple of assault rifles and he doesn't move an inch, literally Iron Man tier. wtf was that?
“Assault rifles”
moron doesn’t know shit about guns
Were they full auto I can't remember? If they were full auto they fit the technical definition of an assault rifle. anti-gun gays keep trying to apply that label to semi-automatic rifles.
Sturmgewehr => assault rifle => firearm between a sub-machine gun and a rifle
Eat my shit fake cuc/k/
I'll give you like a slight leeway with body armor especially in a fantasy setting like capeshit. but the ending where all those "ebil incels" had scope big bore rifles and he's just hanging there with a CLEAR fricking headshot possible. Even if it's rifle rated helmet the kinetic force delivered at that range would have knocked him out or snapped his neck or both.

>Yes
catwoman actress was shit and stuff like the joker scene should've been cut to bring down the run time
that's it. best live action batman and one of the top quinoa this year
Too long
too dark and no playboy bruce
>no playboy bruce
This is the best part. I've see plenty of playboy Bruce. You can argue THAT'S THE CHARACTER and you'd be right but still I've seen it all before and am sick of it.
I want to see a noir Batman set in the 1930s or 40s with retro-futurist tech and art deco aesthetics.
just do a live action of the jack the ripper one anime
I'm basically asking for a live action Batman the animated series but a detective story not a capeshit action movie.
The writing.
Paul Dano.
Matt Reeves is overrated
>nothing happens for 40 minutes
>another plotline starts
good fricking lord what were they thinking
The writer's room wrote themselves into a corner with the Riffler.
cursed film for disrespecting kurts music
