The Batman (2022)
If you had told me in 1997 that this movie would exist in 2022, after I had watch Batman and Robin, I would have thought you are pulling my leg.
These two movies are night and day.
I actually heard there are fans of Batman and Robin and they are not wrong.
That movie was target at very specific audience (kids) and this movie, well for lovers of good cinema.
For some odd reason there were resistance to this movie before it was release.
Robert Pattinson casting was controversial. Criticism about his previous works. About his work attics. About troubles in set etc.
I will add this, from the first frame Batman enters the movie, I was sold.
His entrance is AMAZING.
There are elements of Batman The Long Halloween here.
The transition from comic to film is very flesh out. I mean LITERALLY!!
The production value of this movie is off the charts
The casting is first rate. The Penguin is fantastic. Colin Farrell is unrecognizable and IS The Penguin. Jeffrey Wright is GREAT as Captain Gordon.
Many people forgets that Batman started in Detective Comics.
It was Crime Noir
This movie does not forget and the whole movies is solving a mystery... A mystery called The Riddler!
I am not sure this movie is for everyone.
This is different from Nolan's and Christian's works.
This is a THINKING movie.
I for one is appreciative.
