This was an EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM. Absolutely. I think they screwed up with a few of the Batman’s but in my opinion, this is the second best of the Batman’s behind the Dark Knight.
What I liked about this, compared to the Dark Knight was, this was darker. This focused much less on Bruce Wayne and his role in community. They spent a lot of the movie focusing on the criminals in the city, the dirty underground, exploring how ruthless Gotham is. There was a focus on a darker side of “batman” Robert Pattinson. An almost, troubled youth, who wasn’t angry but definitely has issues. I could not get over the fact he seemed so young too. That is just a small caveat.
What I DID NOT like about this vs. Dark Knight was the “cat woman” thing was sloppy and goofy to me. I was not buying it. I also felt some of the other roles were sloppy in their arcs. I would have loved to see more of the RIDDLER AFTER he was de-masked and caught. Paul D’s acting was superb and he plays an incredibly good “troubled person’. We didn’t get enough of him as we should have.
There is an interaction between Batman and Riddler in the insane asylum which is pretty fucking good. That back and forth. It really showed how crazy the Riddler was.
This movie is a marathon of 3 hours, but there are A LOT of really dope scenes throughout and incredible visuals. Absolutely watch it. That is a review.
