Going next Tuesday, looking forward to it. | |
it was...dece!
Patts and Kravitz were definitely the highlights. The villains...were mostly fine
I thought the first act was really enthralling and was super into it, but I felt like it kinda started to falter after that. The pacing definitely could've used some work
Would I see more from this universe? Yeah. Do I need to see more? Eh!

I do think Kravitz was good but man she's kinda wasted after the first half or so I think. The Bat & Cat romance feels super sudden and not that organic. I feel like if they would've honed in more on that this movie would've been much better for it cuz that at least had the strongest ELEMENTS. But there was too much else going on
Riddler was...unique. I didn't love it tbh, felt kinda just like a creepy Paul Dano performance turned up to 11. I think I would've much rather seen Jonah Hill take a crack at it
Also, would've liked to see Batman actually outsmart Riddler at all? In the beginning it felt like they were playing up the World's Greatest Detective moniker but Batman becomes p dumb after the first act. I really thought that's where it was building, that the Riddler would be constantly one step ahead until finally Batman cracks the case at the end and foils the final step of his grand plan
HATED the Joker appearance at the end. I mean obviously they were gonna go there again eventually but, c'mon. This is the 4th Joker in 14 years! And two of those were all-timer performances, and just based on the teaser this one seems very generic. Although with that said, that scene was awfully reminiscent of the way Telltale Batman introduces their Joker who I similarly hated at first, and later grew into a pretty great rendition once he got more of the spotlight. So perhaps this will end up the same way, perhaps. Still sick of these new Jokers tho
...POSITIVES:
Tuturro as Falcone was probably the best villain of them all tbh. RIP!
Noir atmosphere was good, liked the constant rain and night scenes
Pattinson was p believable as a weirdo loner billionaire kid. Would've liked to see him play more of the Bruce Wayne side of things |

I kinda agree with Boc here. It started off so well but about 3/4 of the way through it felt like it dragged. Definitely better than most superhero movies out there today, but it's hard to top Dark Knight.
I will say it feels like a long story from the 90s animated series. Which in this case, is a good thing.
