Batman is one of the greatest detectives in fiction, and I was enthralled with the world in which he operates. <em>Batman Begins <\/em>(2005) had a similar approach to this type of world, with Bruce Wayne becoming the titular character and operating in the dark underbelly of Gotham City.<\/p>\n<p>However, this film gets right to the point. Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) doesn\u2019t fall into a hole filled with a bunch of bats. He\u2019s already been Batman for two years and has gained the trust and partnership of Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright). I&#8217;m glad this film is not a repeat of Batman&#8217;s origin &#8211; been there, done that.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26995\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26995\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1877830\/mediaviewer\/rm2323899905\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26995\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/the-batman\/the-batman-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?fit=1170%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1170,656\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Batman 3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?fit=1024%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-26995\" title=\"the batman 1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?resize=624%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the batman 1\" width=\"624\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C574&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?resize=710%2C398&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-3.jpg?w=1170&amp;ssl=1 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeffrey Wright and Robert Pattinson in &#8220;The Batman.&#8221; Warner Bros. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The news of Robert Pattison playing Batman gave me some doubts. To me, he was always Edward in the <em>Twilight <\/em>movies, despite having seen him first as Cedric in the Harry Potter films. My wife even told me to watch out for sparkly superheroes when I left for the theater. I haven\u2019t gone out of my way to see him in other things, though <em>Tenet<\/em> (2020) won me over. Now, I\u2019m glad he is donning the cape and cowl and will look forward to more chapters.<\/p>\n<p>This film has Batman investigating the crimes of The Riddler (Paul Dano), who is notably different than what we\u2019ve seen before in Frank Gorshin and Jim Carrey. This Riddler seems like a clone of the Zodiac Killer from the &#8217;60s. He also uses social media to convince the people of Gotham City that their city is run by corrupt officials and that he&#8217;s doing them a favor by killing those officials. Truly believing himself to be a hero, The Riddler leaves greeting cards for Batman at each crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>I love this sort of plot device. It seems to reference earlier cat-and-mouse detective films like <em>Se7en<\/em> (1995). I also love that each Batman franchise is becoming more sinister than the previous one. You can tell which film belongs to a particular franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Batman also crosses paths with Selina Kyle (Zo\u00eb Kravitz), better known as Catwoman. She has her vendetta against the Gotham underworld and even teams up with Batman for clues. Kyle also has connections with Oswald \u201cOz\u201d Cobblepot (Colin Farrell) &#8211; The Penguin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26994\" style=\"width: 526px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1877830\/mediaviewer\/rm4220904193\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26994\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/the-batman\/the-batman-2-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?fit=1170%2C778&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1170,778\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Batman 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-26994\" title=\"the batman 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=526%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the batman 2\" width=\"526\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=270%2C180&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?resize=710%2C472&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-2.jpg?w=1170&amp;ssl=1 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colin Farrell in &#8220;The Batman.&#8221; Warner Bros. Image from IMDb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I believe this is Farrell&#8217;s best performance yet. He should get his first Oscar nomination for this film, and I&#8217;m amazed he hasn&#8217;t gotten one yet. There\u2019s a first time for everything and hopefully, this will be his.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Batman<\/em> also has one of the best screenplays I\u2019ve ever seen. Director Matt Reeves struck pure gold with this film. The story seemed to be influenced more by noir films than by comic books and gothic novels. As I&#8217;ve said before, though, there&#8217;s a reason this is Ryan&#8217;s Movie Corner, not Ryan&#8217;s Comic Corner.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves&#8217; attention to detail is phenomenal. He plants several clues throughout the film that make sense during the finale \u2013 but of course, I will not spoil anything. I also love that we finally see Bruce Wayne with the black eye makeup when he is not in the bat-suit. I think this is another reflection of Wayne\u2019s own personality as he is more of a recluse than the previous Bruce Waynes we have seen before. He isn\u2019t a playboy billionaire but more of an outsider.<\/p>\n<p>Another original element I appreciated was Alfred (Andy Serkis). He has always been a father figure to Bruce Wayne, though here he&#8217;s more of a mentor. I&#8217;m not sure what he was doing before being the Wayne family&#8217;s butler, but he has the distinction of being a badass. He can\u2019t buttle anymore, since he walks around with a cane, but he is still useful. He even has scars on his face, which might be a hint that he taught Bruce how to fight and defend himself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26993\" style=\"width: 871px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1877830\/mediaviewer\/rm3395282433\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26993\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/the-batman\/the-batman-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?fit=1170%2C470&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1170,470\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Batman 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C411&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-26993\" title=\"the batman 3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?resize=871%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the batman 3\" width=\"871\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?resize=300%2C121&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C411&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?resize=768%2C309&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?resize=710%2C285&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The-Batman-1.jpg?w=1170&amp;ssl=1 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Pattinson and Zo\u00eb Kravitz in &#8220;The Batman.&#8221; Warner Bros.

Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer created very <a href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/10-best-film-scores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>memorable scores<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for Batman films before, but Giacchino\u2019s truly brought each scene to life. I never thought that Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSomething in the Way\u201d would be in the final cut, even though it was in the first trailer. I\u2019m not complaining, though \u2013 it worked! The music is some of the best I&#8217;ve heard in a film.<\/p>\n<p>If you couldn\u2019t tell by now, I highly recommend this film. It is fun, thoughtful, and well-made. The runtime might be a bit too long for some, but it flowed. If <em>Titanic<\/em> (1997) can be a masterpiece at 194 minutes, <em>The Batman<\/em> can be just as wonderful at 175. There are more characters in this film than a typical Batman film, but they serve a great purpose.
