The Batman

The Batman encapsulates the tone and visuals I associate with the Batman comics while still leaving room for invocation, with a great reinvention of the riddler from a campy supervillain into a viral serial killer. The performances put in by the entire cast are worth remembering, especially Paul Dano’s portrayal of the Riddler and Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of the Batman. Pattinson captures the both brooding and sometimes brutal nature of the Batman, and a more depressed and broken and depressed Bruce Wayne. Reminds me a lot of Seven but still differentiates itself enough to creat a unique identity. A murder mystery, to me, better fits the idea of the Batman bette than the idea of a big scale plot like the dark knight rises. Also the use of music in the film is top tier.
