The Batman: Out Now!!! Spoilers Are Welcome Here

Just snagged my tickets for 3/5. I'm pumped.

Thinking about making the hour drive to see this in Dolby. Worth it?

Man that was.

Oh 7 central.

Not reading the thread yet but I bought my tickets last night. Thursday at 8:20. My body is ready.

Getting ready to go grab me a little Canes, and then a 4 o’clock showing in Lafayette. I’m excited

Saw the film today. It’s good.
Not on TDK/Batman begins level, but a solid Batman movie.

So my thoughts… it was a very good but very flawed Batman movie. I’ll start with the Good:

1) Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Jeffrey Wright are great as Batman, Catwoman, Riddler, and Gordon respectively.

2) I love the attention towards Batman’s detective work. About time that’s a focus of a Batman film.

3) Soundtrack, tone, and plot are good.

4) A good variety Batman villains which is standard in the comics and felt like the comics due to that.

5) The batmobile chase was great.

The Bad:

1) There’s no reason this movie should have been more than two hours and twenty minutes long. If you have something to say, then take your time to say it, but this didn’t. Three hours is ridiculous for this plot. The pacing lulls quite a bit.

2) I’m going to blame this on the direction and script over the actor, but Robert Pattinson was a god awful Bruce Wayne. Fine Batman, bad Bruce Wayne. Again I think he’s capable of this and it’s not his fault, but it’s as if the script and direction tried to make sure he was the worst most emo Bruce Wayne possible. Kevin Conroy and Christian Bale got Bruce Wayne right and that’s the direction his Wayne should have gone.

3) How many times was Batman shot? I’m sorry, he was shot so many times that it became beyond parody. It was 40+ times, no exaggeration. Batman dodging the shots is way more believable than him repeatedly taking them in the chest and living. I’m sorry, Batman should have been killed ten times over in this film. I remember nitpicking Batman slamming onto Scarecrow’s car in the Dark Knight thinking he’d shatter his legs over that, and that was nothing compared to this.

4) I don’t like Serkis’ Alfred or his relationship to Bruce. The two seem to be at odds and dislike one another. That I outright despise about this movie. Alfred has always been the heart of Batman even when he doesn’t see it himself, and the movie just looks past that.

But I’d give this three and a half out of four stars. Enjoyable for Batman fans, but it’s flawed. Probably the best DCEU film. But IGN are obviously foaming at the mouth fanboys and are insane to give this a 10/10. 8.5/10 from me.

The movie is woke/liberal regurgitation.

It's beyond silly.

When Zoe first showed up in the white tank top and the black wig…

I’m gonna say it…

That was one of the sexiest introductions to a character I’ve seen in quite a while . She looked amazing.

It was good but a notch below BB and TDK.

The cinematography and fight choreography were great


Character dialogue was kinda meh. The Alfred hospital scene and the first face to face between bat and riddler jump out to me as scenes that should've been more impactful but the writing just wasn't there

Wasn't a fan of batman becoming a bulky tank who can withstand fricking shotgun blasts from a foot away. Much prefer the quiet, stealthy, live in the shadows batman.
