The Batman

Enough time has passed that I can officially call this the greatest superhero movie ever made Story-wise, it’s perfect - the dark knight was a crime thriller that had Batman in it, this is a crime thriller that needs Batman to exist, and it’s a perfect crime thriller too with enough moving parts to make it super engaging the entire way throughout. The riddler in this movie is so effective in his evil and feels super realistic and matches the tone so well. All the mob stuff is great too. Technically this film is also a marvel. The cinematography and lighting in this movie is perfect and scratches a really good itch tone wise. The music is perfect and is great. The last half hour of this movie gives it all star status - the conversation at Arkham between Batman and riddler is super well written and acted. The climax at Madison square garden is intense and has some wild moments, culminating in Batman leading the people through the water, and becoming a true hero to the people on the roof with Nirvana playing in the background.  This is a perfect movie
