Very cool movie, didn’t love it as much as the Nolan Batman movies, but nevertheless very fun and entertaining

Genuinely hadn’t heard the Keaton version being referred to as campy before.

Pretty campy scene

Just got home from watching it.

Loved it.


Could have done with a tighter edit, but meh.



One thing that stood out to me is the score. Reminded me a bit of The Lighthouse.

Off topic a bit but for the batman fans… I’m listening to the rewatchables and they’re doing batman (89). Jack Nicholson was nominated for a golden globe for best actor that year… in a comedy or musical

Batman is always such a dork, how many films are they gonna keep recycling his lame arse for.

Gimmie the Joker any day, was the only good thing about the last time they rebooted it.

Insightful contribution.

Very good movie, well shot and well acted. Liked the noir look and detective elements.

My main criticisms are the length (could have trimmed about 15-20 mins off it) and I don't reckon they nailed that ending.

8/10 type film for me.

Seen it twice and loved it

The obvious one was the deceased mayor’s son, but I also wondered about the cop in Riddler’s apartment with Batman towards the end, and the reluctant member of the train gang that Batman spared.

Spoiler

I’m going with the reluctant gang member who is ironically Tim Drake in titans [/spoilers]

 

[Strange Cat]

This movie is unreal.

I've seen it 3 times already and I still want to go watch it again lmao

Seeing it for a third time with my daughter …such a special moment for me

How old is your daughter? My sons are too young for this stuff as yet, going to be amazing when they’re old enough for me to take them with me to see in cinema. That batmobile experience for example would be brilliant.

Go nuts without spoiler tags kids.

Obviously any actual spoilers for future installments remain tag needed but theories and the like have at it.

Rumours that the sequel will be an adaptation of a mix between no man’s land and the war of the jokes and riddles

Please sequel be set in winter

Loved Felix from 007, the Penguin, Catwoman and the butler from Mr Deeds. Thought the supporting cast was excellent.

No man's land would be amazing. Especially with Bruce now realising how much good Batman can do

Thought that, above all else, this was a beautifully crafted movie. The only thing stronger than the cinematography was the score, which I loved.

Found Pattinson the opposite of Bale, in that I loved his Batman, but wasn’t enamoured with his Bruce Wayne. He pulled off a younger Batman well without any diminished presence on screen in spite of his obvious development still to come.

Loved his transition from ‘vengeance’ to ‘hero’ in the last few scenes and thought thematically that worked really well.

Farrell was fantastic as Penguin and would never have thought it was actually him, which speaks volumes for the performance. Kravitz was great as Catwoman - the purrfect casting choice. Wright’s Gordon was wonderfully hands on. Dano I preferred after being unmasked, reminded me of your classic loner serial killer.

The one I was a bit meh on was the guy who played Falcone - Turturro? Thought he lacked any real menace.

I thought with the visual of the face wrapping and the ‘Hush’/‘Elliot’ references that they were going down a different pathway for a minute, and felt kind of letdown that it was probably just an Easter Egg. That villain would be perfect for this tone/universe so I hope it’s something they explore in a sequel.

The flooding/climax felt a little anticlimactic to me, but that’s really a nitpick. Fantastic movie and I can’t wait to see it again this week. It felt like one of the grittier graphic novels had leapt onto the screen before me.
