The Batman

i wanted to write some pretty upset thoughts about the sequel (which from my understanding might not even be called “The Batman Part II” anymore but whatever the fuck i guess) being delayed to 2027, but i got way too absorbed into the film and completely forgot by the end of it. i was 13 when i first watched this in theaters, i am currently 16, and will be 19 when i’ll see the sequel. which is unfuckingbelievable and sincerely and respectfully, fuck you matt reeves you better be cooking some cinematic masterpiece in Final Draft with that script that you’re writing since like august 2022 and a first draft is still not submitted to DC — which is wild but again whatever the fuck i guess. i am literally turning into unc status by the time the trilogy ends. in other words, i fucking love “The Batman”, it literally changed my life, influenced some heavy shit on myself as a person, and am still absolutely stunned and into this whole (almost) 3 hour film about a man with severe control and anger issues mentally obsessed with dressing up like a bat while blasting nirvana. also another thing i never seemed to notice when people talked about this film - it is always said that its whole theme and bruce’s theme is vengeance. which yes is completely true cause duh it is literally said by batman himself (“I am vengeance”) and other characters calling him vengeance (“Hey vengeance!” / “Mr. vengeance” / “I thought you were vengeance” and so on and so on) — but here is another one that works: OBSESSION. obsession is a HUGE part of his whole character - there is this angry man wearing black camo around his eyes, not washing or cutting his hair that would do ANYTHING to escape human interactions and what other people are expecting from him - and that anything is wearing that bat suit for days. makes you feel its being batman or death for him (and yes ik robert pattinson himself said that). anyway, just cook up the sequel matt reeves. i barely grew any facial hair when i watched the first and i’ll have a fucking drivers license when the second drops. but again its whatever the fuck i guess (its not). also i typed this review on the toilet
