The only complaints I’m seeing are “it’s too long” which I can’t judge for myself, but “too dark”?

Really?

Have you never seen Gotham City outside TDK and TDKR?

The only “poor” reviews for The Dark Knight was it was simply too dark. I went through a lot of those reviews once and what’s clear is reviews are opinion. Ofc opinions will be based on quality but some critics just go eh Rachel’s titties were too small and could just give it 3/5


But my expectations are seriously high at this point. Critics are basically putting this ON TDK level. Which.....I would love to see


I might have to go see this in theaters. I love DC much more than marvel but I was putting every DC work in the dumpster automatically ever since MoS, the casting of Jesse Eisenburg, and the casting, just the casting reports of suicide squad alone back years before it came out.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Looks like a sequel is pretty much confirmed, and a Penguin spinoff show on HBO Max.

wondering what villain they could possibly go with on the next film...


Probably would have to bring back the Joker, I read it's possible it could be a copycat Joker inspired by the Joaquin Phoenix character and it could somehow bridge those two universes... Would still be a detective like film.

[Patrick Chewing]

Time to get some new character villains in the films. Let's get Hugo Strange out there.

Mad Hatter gets my vote...

Mind Control and PizzaGate detective movie. Would be great.


The Mad Hatter (Jervis Tetch) is a supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. He is modeled after the Hatter from Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a character often called the "Mad Hatter" in adaptations of Carroll. Mad Hatter is depicted as a scientist who invents and uses technological mind control devices to influence and manipulate the minds of his victims. He is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.

https://www.lewiscarroll.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Jervis-Tetch.jpg

Jervis Tetch / The Mad Hatter in his first appearance in Batman #49 (October 1948).


In his first appearance as the Mad Hatter, Tetch attempts to steal a trophy from the Gotham Yacht Club, and begins a crime spree that ends when he is foiled by Batman while he is trying to rob spectators from a high society horseshow.[3] Tetch is subsequently sent to Arkham Asylum


The Mad Hatter's next appearance marks the first time he is portrayed in comics with the mind-controlling devices for which he would eventually become best known. Allying himself with other villains in an attempt to kill Batman


During another early encounter with Batman, the Mad Hatter escapes from Arkham in time for Halloween, and makes his home in an old mansion that had been abandoned after a gruesome murder years before. Retreating deeply into his delusions about Wonderland, Tetch offers sanctuary to runaway children, asking them in return to dress up as characters from Alice in Wonderland and attend his tea parties, where he serves them drugged tea to keep them sedated.

I take back my comment. I would rather chow down on a bat in the wettest of Wuhan's markets than sit through another hour of that. I hope it never sees the light of day.

You saw it and it wasn't good?

[Patrick Chewing]

So here's a confusing question, is Phoenix's Joker supposed to be in this Batman universe as his foe? I would assume so seeing as how Jared Leto is already tied to Ben Affleck's Batman.


Haven't seen this film yet, but from all reviews, it's a really dark film. Did see The Joker and didn't like it, but it's also very dark which naturally explains the connection here.

No, Affleck's batman, Phoenix's Joker, and this batman are 3 different universes.

[Bimbo Coles]

You saw it and it wasn't good? That is correct.

[hold this L]

That is correct.

That's damn disappointing. I'm seeing it tonight, was pretty hyped since it's from the director of the POTA trilogy.

[Patrick Chewing]

That's stupid if true. Phoenix's Joker would fit well with this Batman. What are they going to do? Introduce a new Batman for a Joker sequel??

[AlternativeAcc.]

There's not gonna be a joker 2... and that was a totally shit movie. But even so, how would he fit well? He portrayed a mentally ill dweeb. Isn't the joker supposed to be a criminal mastermind with a very high IQ? That's not what we saw in the Joker movie. We literally saw a lazy ****ing loser dweeb, like many of the ilk we see on ISH. Maybe that's why so many people liked that horrible movie. They related to the guy:oldlol:

[1987_Lakers]

Watching this tonight. :cheers:

[bladefd]

Pattinson is only 35, and Joker is something like 10yrs older in the comics. So technically you could make Phoenix work as Joker in this universe, but they would have to significantly alter the backstory to bring Phoenix's Joker into this universe. It would get messy because there would be big continuity issues.

Better to introduce a new younger Joker for this batman universe but based on Phoenix's representation. Essentially do a copycat Joker but a different backstory that fits this Batman universe.

It’s an unbelievable movie, curious to hear why he feels that way

[Bimbo Coles]

ItÂ’s an unbelievable movie, curious to hear why he feels that way I found it completely uninteresting and unengaging. It misses all its beats. There's emotional scenes that are flat. Close to the end, it gets embarrassingly preachy. Nothing to do with the runtime. I'm used to Lav Diaz slogs. It felt like a regular 90 minute feature.

I love Jeffrey Wright, but he makes it feel like a b-film. If they were going to go co-lead, they should have installed Farrell as Gordon. The fIlm revolves around the most forgettable depiction of a villain since Scarecrow. Zoe Kravitz is a walking perfume commercial. Bring in someone with heft, chops. Debicki, perhaps. Pattinson is a serviceable Batman, I'll give him that. It's just that the film isn't in service of, well, anything. It's all paper-thin characters in meandering storylines.

People will say it's original. It's completely indebted to Blade Runner and Nolan (I don't really get the Fincher). And making something dark and real doesn't automatically equate to being going good. It's a blue and yellow simulacram of our world that's neither grand in scope nor great in detail.

[Bimbo Coles]

*equate to good

I bookended it with The Godfather 1 and 2 (at the cinemas), lol. It didn't do The Batman any favours. The dissolves, the deliberate pacing, the performance, the music, the rhythm, the nuanced and sweeping strokes (I'll concede the sequel does get more than a little melodramatic -- but it delved deeper into the dynamics of the family)... there's no comparison. I thought my favourite FFC was The Rain People or The Outsiders, but I'm back in love with The Godfather.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Doesn't hold a candle to any of the Nolan films. This film tries so hard to be dark and ominous than it just ends up being bland and boring.

I mean, it wasn't near the level of The Dark Knight, but I still found it very enjoyable. I liked how they kept the dark undertones, overall I thought it had a very good story and the acting was top notch.

[Doomsday Dallas]

I wanted to like this movie… I did everything in my power to like it….

Overall I was disappointed.

The film is a bit of a mess. It’s not horrible, just not all that great.

Skip the theaters on this one and just wait until it’s on HBO max.

[Doomsday Dallas]

The more I think about it… I’m done with watching the trailers to movies I’m anticipating. This movie was ruined by the trailer. Absolutely ruined & spoiled.

Why put all the best parts in a 2 minute advertisement? Trailers haven’t always done this, but as the years have gone by it’s just gradually gotten worse and worse.

Every badass scene this movie has to offer… you see a clip of it in the trailer. I’m not letting that happen again.

Catwoman is black, the mayor is a black woman, the "good" cop is black.... and of course they had to mention white privilege in the movie too.

When the black woman mayor got shot I already knew she wasn't gonna die. No way Hollywood is gonna let a black female character playing a mayor die like that. :oldlol:

[coin24]

I enjoyed the movie overall. I’m a huge fan of the Nolan Batman’s and it’s hard to say this was better. Definitely up there though. It’s hard to compare them

The only scene I hated was the white privelege part. Was so forced and out of place just sounded ridiculous..

the top 1% are white dummy. even if the white population was cut from 60% down below Hispanics we would still be in power cause they aren't part of that 1% and neither are you.


the best of the best will always be white because our best is a notch above in terms of pride, ambition, creativity, ruthlessness and leadership

just look at my situation. I inherited money and instead of spending it all on drugs and guns like something highweight would do I instead put it into investments. I'm using money to make money. I didn't get tattoos and 100,000$ chains. I got a bit of gold but most of my money is in a hoard of lebron, Giannis, Trout, Ohtani, Ovechkin, mcdavid and other all time legends most expensive rookie cards. my hobby is researching all sports and putting money in them for future pay outs. 2 years ago I flipped 5 grand into 20. now I'm gonna flip 100 into 500 grand in a 10 years. us white people just have a more cunning nature. we don't spend money unless it holds value or gains value. I spend like 10$ on t shirts and 150$ on jerseys. why? because jerseys last longer. t shirts last a few washes. minorities will spend 100$ on clothes they can wear maybe 3 or 4 times then they sell them for pennies on the dollar online or to a friend. it's pathetic

Poopsie, you agree?

it is possible for black people to succeed just as much as white people. you just have to drop the failed hood culture and practice those qualities I listed. there's some black people in that top 1% and they're usually conservative, have pride, ambition, creativity and through those traits you can attain leadership and hold onto it with ruthless aggression

it's rare but I've seen it. like Candace owens, Larry Elder, Jesse Lee peterson and others

[John_Connor]

The Republican trust fund baby is telling the working class how to live.

when did I tell you how to live. I know for a fact you couldn't invest money you earned or had handed to you. minorities feel the need to go all out whenever they have wealth so they buy expensive cars that depreciate in value. expensive homes that they know they can't afford if their money ran out.


I've been getting tons of money for free every year and I still drive a 2011 camry. still live in the same house and all I've put into it is a new laundry and dryer over the past decade.

I dont spend money unless it makes money. period

I will drive that car into the ground before I get a new one. that's just how white people with confidence think. I've spent a ton on collectables but I've only ever sold them for a profit. I have the same bbq I've had for 10 years. I have the same couches I've had for a while. till I get a hole in one I don't replace them.

I also look for deals on food constantly. I still use coupons. I could order lobster every day and I still cut out 2 can dine for 12$ things for Wendy's

I drive up to the window wearing 10k in gold and hand them a coupon to save 5 bucks

never buy anything unless you get a deal and it doesn't depreciate in value. if you have to spend more do it. like for guitars I only bought gibsons cause the older one gets the more it's worth. buy it for 2 grand and sell it for 2500$. that's smarter than buying a no name guitar for 300 and selling it for 150

[John_Connor]

just got a torrent for it. saw about an hour and a half of it then skipped through the rest. it's good but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. it's like 6 Netflix episodes all in one. its not bad from what I saw. probly didnt even get to the white shaming part. feels like a good dark batman. but not as good as the tim burton or chris nolan batmans. I'd probly give it a 6.5 if I had the patience to finish it.. don't even know how it ends. it's a marathon like lord of the rings extended edition.. yawwwn

[John_Connor]

almost forgot..I kinda got turned off when batman walked in the front door of a crime scene passing by a bunch of cops. that's soooo un-batman. it just looked goofy. kinda turned me off

hes a vigilantly and is supposed to be hated by cops and only seen by Gordon

he needs more mystery than that. that's why he shows up and disappears. but he just seemed like a dork snitch pig cop in a goofy outfit in that scene


and its filmed way too much like a TV show. doesn't have the feel of a movie at all. seemed low budget


and he's way too much of a doomer emo suicidal kid. he seems like a goth hermit that sits in the back k of his parents car with his arms crossed and says he hates everything and wears his headphones the entire trip. not a good choice for the role


if they just fixed a few things that I mentioned it could be a 7.5. but still the most important thing is to cut it from 3 hours to 2

[Lakers Legend#32]

The same people b!tching about the length of The Batman movie are the same people who had no problem with Lord of the Rings being over three hours.

[John_Connor]

The same people b!tching about the length of The Batman movie are the same people who had no problem with Lord of the Rings being over three hours.

I liked the condensed DVD versions but the extended ones were so ridiculously long they're unwatchable

and even then when I saw the movies in theaters I remember the 3rd movie having like 5 endings. I just left before the credits cause I had to meet people


and seriously that batman shit should be cut at LEAST an hour. there's so many slow build up shots to every scene to set the "mood" but we get the picture front the start. we don't need to be constantly reminded of how dark and disturbed he is. we know it's a doomer batman but damn.. an hour of doom music. I think they played the entire track from nirvana something in the way at one point


and I think the reason people were able to stomach Lord of the rings was because of breakthrough cgi. this batman movie isn't even a big production. has way more of a made for Netflix feel to it

[8Ball]

I give it a 7/10.

2nd behind dark knight.

[John_Connor]

I give it a 7/10.

2nd behind dark knight.

low IQ


it was poorly put together. it could have been a 7+ with a proper edit and condensed but even then it's nowhere near batman begins (the best of the chris nolan films. sorry but its true. better story. better intro and ending. better character development. heath ledger being cool and dead doesnt make up for that ) and batman 89 will always get bonus points for being the original Gothic take that revolutionized the role. all other batmans are a copy of it.

if this new batman was made into a Netflix series and was cut into 6 half hour episodes it would probly get a 7.5 out of me. but as it stands it's a 6.5. great look for a low budget TV show quality batman. they made the best of their cheep looking bat suit, bat bike and bat muscle car. but it was a doomer dorky version of batman. only a post millennial who's first batman experience was dark knight would say something like this. and for you to say 7.0 is the 2nd best batman should be castration worthy. batman begins is a minimum 7.8 so if you believe dark knight is as legendary as other people say it is then that's at LEAST an 8.0+


your rating scale isn't even respect worthy so how can your opinion on anything matter

it's not about your rating. 7 is about right if you can make it through the entire thing after half a day but your rating scale of batman movies is completely retarded

there is no way in hell its better than batman begins or 89


and there's no way on earth it's 2nd to everyone's favorite batman for the most part (the dark knight) even though I thought it started and ended poorly and is slightly overrated. so that's 3 batmans it's definitely not better than


then I find a hard time putting it above dark knight rises. that's actually become underrated. it's better than batman returns due to it aging badly and il obviously put it ahead of anything Adam west, ben Affleck, Val Kilmer or George clooney did.


so it's 5th. and there isn't any logical reasoning for putting it higher than that. but it could be a 7 and be 5th. those other movies are all near 8s and one might be above it

the music/ lead ins to every scene pushed the movie an hour over what it should have been

the casting was terrible. batman was way too much of a doomer and way too small. everyone else was kind of boring

the villains were plain like it wasnt even batman. riddler just looked like the gimp from pulp fiction. not batman level like bane from rises. joker from dark knight or 89.

the realism was there but the production value wasn't. it was like watching Netflix

it had a comic book feel sure but it needed to be cut into 6 episodes because it was dull like a comic. it wasn't a major motion picture high budget looking movie. it felt too raw and post covid like everything was done very safely and inexpensive. seemed too artsy fartsy from what I saw honestly. it needed a bit of an action/suspense/thriller to it. but all I saw was a drama/artistic detective boring TV show like some daredevil/Gotham level shit. would be good in half hour episodes but a movie? meh

it's not the dialog. I watch kevin smith/ Quentin Tarantino/mystery/detective movies all the time

3 hours is too long. it's too long for any movie. even 2 and a half hours is pushing it. most movies are like an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes


3 hours is waaaaaaaaaay too long for something slow paced. it's like a marathon. you have to be in the theater with friends/popcorn and sorta drunk to make it 3 hours. sober by yourself watching it on TV with a way to fast forward? no chance.. after 1 and a half hours I skipped through the rest and gave up

do you know what everyone says killed wwe. every fan and writer says the worst thing they ever did was switching from a 2 hour show to 3 hours. people get bored of the same shit after exactly 1.5 to 2 hours of it. it's why sports have half times and it's why baseball has been trying to find ways to speed up the game for a long time. it's also why there's a kill bill 1 and 2.

history has shown that anything that's 3 hours has either failed or gotten harsh criticism. it's not even debatable. perhaps if it was some ground breaking movie like lord of the rings then MAYBE it would be somewhat OK. and even then people would talk shit who aren't hardcore fans


and I'm a hardcore batman fan since childhood. so that's saying a lot. I think black people are just inclined to push this batman as a success due to the progressive blm agenda casting selections. its why so many people went to see black panther 5 and 10 times each. the movie wasn't anything special but it became a political agenda. you need batman to be good to justify its racist casting picks

Pattinson is a better Batman than Bale, right after Keaton.

Pattinson is a better Batman than Bale, right after Keaton.

depends... bale in batman begins is great as Bruce Wayne and batman. him in dark knight was cringe. his voice got way too much like some 80 year old grandma smoker to try and disguise it. got so weird. his batsuit in dark knight was trash too.

so doomer geek pattinson batman might be better than dark knight. but not begins

The first two Godfather movies were both over three hours and are considered two of the greatest movies of all-time.

The first two Godfather movies were both over three hours and are considered two of the greatest movies of all-time.

impossible to compare movies from that era to today. the deer hunter was a classic but today it feels like it takes forever to get into the story. people back then had literally nothing else to do. before and after the movie they would just sit outside all day or listen to music. maybe go to the bowling ally or a coffee shop with friends. kids would just play baseball all day. it was a time when seeing a movie was a huge event. people have literally a million other things they can watch or play or read or people to talk to or things to buy. people back then just chewed tobacco working on a farm shoveling pig shit all week or pumped gas for old ladies before going to the drive in with a date. and 3 hours for a date movie in a car obviously wouldn't be long. it probly wouldn't be long enough fir some young people


that kind of movie wouldn't never be made today

try again

Trump supporters don't like The Batman because it has too many people of color in authority positions over white males.

So instead they say,

It was too long.

OK, just saw it. Took me two nights to watch it. First half of the movie is great. Lots of action. Dark, gritty. Batman coming out of the shadows to face his enemies is pretty badass. The car chase scene was pretty epic. The scene where he's interviewing The Riddler is great. He looks at the camera when he thinks the Riddler knows his true identity by mentioning Bruce Wayne's name. He stays still, doesn't say anything. Then, the Riddler mentions to "Batman" that they failed to get him, so he realizes The Riddler hasn't given away his true identity, and he can now go on the offensive. Although, it's still up in the air if the Riddler knew who he was the whole time. They could have probably cut at least 20 mins off the film and it would have been just as good.

wrong. I said it was a 7/10 if they cut out an hour and the 5th best batman behind the dark knight series and 89

if I had an agenda I would put it behind batman returns and possibly the Ben Affleck ones

I'm completely fair and balanced and gave detailed explanations for everything and didn't even bring up the racist casting in my critique


the only thing that it effected was me waiting to pirate it and not give them my money

Why do you keep whining like a little 6yr old girl? In every post, you are just whining. Either watch the movie or don't. Nobody cares what you do. Just stop whining.

I dunno if you realize this but this is a message board. if you can't handle differing opinions I suggest you log off. call up your service provider and ask them to cancel your internet. then tell your family and friends you won't be seeing them anymore. then lock yourself in your house and curl up in a bathtub with your dog and cry yourself to sleep every night like will Smith in I am legend

people keep addressing me and my points so I keep replying and defending my position. you literally just did it again. if you want me to go away stop quoting me. stop speaking for me. or just wrap your lips around a revolver and squeeze the trigger cause you're obviously a doomer incel cuck ass f*ggot like Robert Pattinsons portrayal of Bruce Wayne

IMDB is currently giving it a 8.2

So my vote... is that the film is overrated.


like I said before... I did everything in my power to like this film, it just didn't do it for me.

Trailers ruined this film, that's #1 first and foremost... if a trailer has ever completely ruined film, it was The Batman's trailer.

I'm not watching the Final Trailer of Dr.Strange 100% thanks to The Batman's trailer.


Like seriously? We just need to go back to Teasers... and get rid of trailers all together.

Trailers are basically becoming cliff notes to the entire film. What's the point of spoiling scenes from all the best parts?

Each big movie has 3 trailers before it's released. Usually by the time we get to the Final trailer... we have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

When we go to see the actual film... it loses half of it's entertainment value.




Secondly... it just wasn't that great. It was 3 hours of a mediocre film... I don't mind watching a 3 hour film... but it needs to be badass for 3 hours.

The Batman had some good moments, and they got some things right... but for the most part it slow.

The Irishman was a slow 3 hour movie... and way better than The Batman.

This was not comparable to Se7en... or Silence of the Lambs, the suspense and intensity was nowhere on the same level.

Falcone (John Turturro) .... they needed to better this character.

Bat-suit scene was garbage.

Anti-climatic (music towards the end is garbage too), all 3 of Nolan's films were the complete opposite.


I honestly didn't even really notice some of the wokeness with the Black Female Mayor until it was pointed out...

Didn't bother me I guess... I've gotten better at tuning that stuff out.



I'll give it a 7.2... worth a watch, but severely overrated.

Deleted 5 minute Joker scene:

Is this really all that great? I suppose if you're a fan of Batman it's better than nothing, but no masterpiece with this first film.

The people bitchin' the most about The Batman the most only recently saw it on HBO.

They were too anti-social to see it in theaters.

[John_Connor]

I think everything looks better in theaters and can inflate the movie quality due to you basically being locked in with friends and nothing to distract you. plus the atmosphere and sound system. I've sat through the rocks tooth fairy movie on a date. also thought that dumb and dumber sequel was good. then realized it was trash the 2nd time


when you watch it at home you know if it's actually good or not.. like Dunkirk was insane in theaters but a total bore fest the 2nd time. the seats shaking made it insane.


I bet you couldn't sit through that 3 hour batshit again on bluray

however I can pop in 89 or begins for the 50th time and enjoy them

There were a few cool scenes but overall it was pretty mediocre, I would give it 6/10 and I think thats being generous.

[Meticode]

Overall for me this is my favorite Batman film. I liked the feel of it, the cinematography, the opening monologue gave me goosebumps. Loved how they incorporated a more detective Batman into. Pattinson did a pretty damn good job as Batman. Really didn't like the Bruce Wayne emo-thing, but that's the writing not Pattinson's fault.

Was on the fence with this or The Dark Knight as my favorite. I landed on this becuase this is what I envisioned Batman being as a kid when I was growing up.

Wrong. Caring is someone having a back and forth conversation with you about any topic. You have no such interactions on here with anyone. I'm sorry about that. Not everyone can be cool and interesting.

Finally got around to watching the movie. I thought it was very good and very well done. They probably could have slashed 20 mins out of it to speed it up, but it was fine how it was too.

I felt there was some injustice done to the riddler. They built him up very well then took him apart too fast. There was almost a disconnect there.

Regardless, I would probably give this a 9. It is on par with Nolan's trilogy. Much better than that idiot Ben Affleck as batman or even any of the 90s craps. I always thought of batman as bit dark so this batman was exactly how I envisioned him, which I found surprising.

the first hour is good. in fact it's really good. then it goes to shit and is pretty boring the rest of the way till the end when the riddler basically cucks batman and talks to a lame excuse for a joker. it goes from an 8 down to a 7.. too long. drags on. peaks too early

[Patrick Chewing]

Yeah that new Joker ****ing sucks.

That's something I wish they did was change the villain. I'm all Joker'd out. Maybe if it was Phoenix's Joker it would've been better.

that's a major flaw. he seems younger than batman. he should be at least 15 to 20 years older

Agreed. I think, in many ways, it's tighter and more resonant thematically speaking than Nolan's films. I'll definitely have to rewatch them to be sure. Matt Reeves is one of the best directors around.

Time to get some new character villains in the films. Let's get Hugo Strange out there.

Willem Dafoe would be perfect for the role.

I'd like to see Clayface too. You could have him be a tragic character that was disfigured by the mob. Wants to get revenge; uses prosthetics/disguises.
