The Batman
I had to see this film again to completely gather my thoughts and perspective on this film. What has stuck with me since the first watch has been the pulsating score by Giaccino accompanied by the awe inspiring cinematography, action sequences and the performances of every major cast member.
Aside from my appreciation of paying perfect homage to comic stoylines such as The Long Halloween, I absolutley love this take on the costumes and the Batmobile.
I also admire this more relatable version of Bruce Wayne that has a more socially awkward demeanor with Bruce having very few voluntary social interactions with other people outside of the suit . This is a far cry from the more “playboy-like” depictions we have seen before. The small amount of dialogue Pattinson has allows him to portray emotion with body language, particularly with his eyes.
The opening 10 minutes was some of the best I have ever seen in a comic book movie and that City Hall scene was 👌🏻.
My only gripe is that I wish DC could go one film without referencing or including the Joker.
