Riddler: "Bruuuuuuuce Waaaaaaayne". Batman internally: "oh fuck oh shit he knows who I am he's going to tell everyone fuck me there's a camera recording it's going to be everywhere this is the end for batman". Riddler:"He's the one guy we didn't get". Batman internally: "thank fuck I didn't say anything"

That shot of the Batmobile leaping through the flames, followed by the upside down shot of Batman walking toward Penguin, is easily my favorite sequence in any Batman movie

I will never stop raving over this movie. The shot as he literally leads the people of Gotham out of the darkness is absolutely beautiful. Bruce’s realization that being “Vengeance” is not actually creating good in the world and that if he truly wants to make the world a place where nobody has to lose their parents he needs to be better. He needs to care more, he needs to be Batman.

2 things: 1. It’s awesome as hell that both Batman and the Batmobile get basically the same intro, where you hear them before you actually see them. Absolutely pitch perfect Batmobile sequence with perfect build in tension. 2. Love how subtly funny Bruce is in this, contrasting how dour he is. Constantly turning phrases and being a smartass, but not in a cocky way, more biting. “Alright, I got you on assaulting an officer!” “You got me on assaulting three”

You missed 2 wins: - When Batman is about to jump off the building, he was initially hesitated. This shows how inexperienced Batman is at the time. - The street he crashed is La Salle Street, the same one used for the truck flipping scene in The Dark Knight.

Even though this movie is 3 hours long, it’s one of the most rewatchable movies I’ve ever seen

Here’s a win that should be mentioned: This is Zoe Kravitz’ second time playing Catwoman, after the LEGO Batman Movie

I love the fact that the filmmakers included the black eye makeup for Bruce. It makes his whole Batman getup look that much scarier.

Batman’s arc in this movie is perfectly surmised by one consistent bit of physical acting 1.) Bruce is visibly squinting in the entire scene where Alfred is trying to decode the first cipher because of daylight streaming in from the windows (“Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal”) 2.) At the end, when Bruce is helping the woman being airlifted, he’s looking up, clear and wide-eyed in the daylight Vengeance in the night -> Hope in the light

This was everything I wanted from a new Batman movie, I absolutely love it.

I love how they did Bruce's arc. They gave us a by-the-book Batman flick where he spends most of the time brooding and dealing out concussions, just to pull the rug and have him ultimately fail because his approach would largely be ineffective since he was only dealing with the symptoms of crime, not the cause. I also love how, political read aside, the final climax is Bruce having to literally deal with Batman fans who romanticize him as a brutal punisher. I extra love how that revelation pushes him closer towards his role as the first responder/defender role he takes in the comics (and the animated adaptations). Also, I just interpreted the large explosions as stylish flair, not an actual representation of the size and intensity of the blasts.

That's it! This is how they're going to get the iconic line! The first movie has, "I am vengeance." The second movie will have, "I am the night." And the next movie will have, "I am Batman."

Paul Dano is finally getting the praise he truly deserves. Dude has been so underrated for a decade, glad that his Riddler performance was highly praised

The slow creepy bat eyes is cuz he’s recording so he wants to scan everything so he can look back at it later. That’s why he walks so slowly around crime scenes I love this movie

The Batmobile in this movie had the feel of an angel of vengeance coming for your soul, an absolutely terrifying, and incredible sound. Others may have had guns, but this batmobile was truly a tool of fear, designed to not only be a fast car, but also to instill fear into those Batman is hunting.

I have ADHD and struggle even sitting through a 10 minute episode of a show without leaving the room to run around. I sat through this entire 3 hour movie without leaving the room once, and I think that says something about how compelling it is

I love in the funeral scene where Battinson exits the car he starts to smile just a tiny bit for the cameras but immediately bails. It's so forced from him and equally hilarious and sad

On Battinsons workout routine, his physique much more closely resembles world champion fighters rather than a bodybuilder, which makes much more practical sense for Batman in general.

Can we just appreciate the sound design that went into making the Batmobile almost a vigilante in itself? I saw this in the theaters TWO times, and every single time I heard that monstrous roar when Batman fires it up, making my seat and the whole theater rumble, I had GOOSEBUMPS all over my body. Absolutely top notch sequence!

I especially love Batman's relationship with Gordon in this film. It feels very unique from other iterations where they basically treat each other as equals. Here, Gordon almost seems to begrudgingly look out for Batman out of pity and often voices his frustration with the guy's caginess. I almost get George and Lenny vibes from their relationship, like Gordon fears the idea of Batman snapping and going too far one day and having to put him down. I also love how the two actually share a bit of a chuckle when Gordon tells Batman to punch him in the face so he can escape. We never really get to see that side of Batman in the movies.

Eyyy Saw the movie multiple times with different friends, some liked it more than others, but no one disliked it. No one believed Collin Farrel was the penguin under prosthetics. And even if you know, its a completely different person.

My favorite part about this movie is that they turned the Riddler into a twitch streamer/tiktok influncer and they managed to pull it off pretty well

As someone who was rooting for Robert Pattinson as an actor since 2010, him playing Batman was a dream come true for me he was perfect imo definitely my favorite love action Batman

I always found it fascinating that as Batman he stands taller than even most of the cops. He towers over everyone he talks to as this intimidating force but as Bruce he seems almost reserved and like hes hiding in on himself. He always keeps his head sort of down and slouched not really meeting anyones eyes. It goes to show just how split the two personas are from each other at this point. Honestly that difference that Robert displays made him my favorite live action batman. No disrespect to any of the others (especially adam west) but this is a batman that is broken and suffering in his own personal hell and it is fascinating to watch. Throughout the movie i also noticed that he basically lives the line from Iron man in the MCU "if you need the suit you dont deserve it" towards the end of the movie we see him becoming more confident and grounded. His two personas mixing to form THE batman and by the end of the movie we see him become someone worthy of the suit and the symbolism behind it

Robert Pattinson's Batman has the greatest introduction of any of the live-action Batmans ever simply because of how he's created as this Baba Yaga like figure. The camera focuses on the shadows, and we get his voiceover to start off the film, and once the Jokerz are brought in we slowly hear his footsteps emerging from the darkness and then he appears. I got shivers the first time I saw this film in theaters and he was introduced.

From the moment I walked out of the theater I couldn't stop thinking about The Batman. It just wouldn't get out of my brain. I saw it twice, got the prequel book, and got the art book when it came out. I adore this movie so much.

I know it's all gonna be said at the end of the next part but I really love that The World's Greatest Detective actually does some detective work for once! It was so damn refreshing. but I also love that, even though he knows the lingo and even gets a lot of the earlier clues before the other cops, eventually it's his own lack of perspective from the poorer Gotham experience that gets in his way. Not knowing Spanish, (the second most spoken language in America), or not knowing the tools of a working man's trade. Catwoman clocks him for a rich boy after knowing him a day. it's such an amazing take on how he sees himself as just another victim of Gotham, but doesn't recognise the privilege he truly has.

This movie gets better and better the more you think about it. So many layers and so much appreciation to detail within the films reality and the characters themselves. Batman having a character arc for once where he thinks vengeance is the only way to change things and then seeing his real role is as a watchful protector was a very fulfilling and credible change for a year 2 batman to have. Both the opening and closing monologues are tow of my favorite scenes. I could gush about this movie all day, an incredible film on every level

Love this version of bruce so much because hes just so… shy. When hes not in the suit, he keeps his head down and avoids eye contact and is so soft spoken. He doesnt have the playboy persona yet. Even in the suit he is HORRIBLY socially pathetic and ONLY can communicate through the investigation. Hes got the tism….

I love how in the movie, the first shots of the movie from riddlers perspective made us think the kid was Bruce Wayne.

The opening narration of this movie perfectly explained who Batman is, what he does, and why he does it the way he does it. God I love this movie. Also one of my favorite movie scores ever? I can't even listen to the funeral music without tearing up.

I like how they made use of his walking/boots. The fact, that he can be absolutely silent when he needs to or terrify the crap out off his next target, just by stomping in the dark. And the sound it makes...oh i love the metal clanking.

another thing I love is the fact that we see Bats put on his eyemakeup. it's rushed, panicked and greasy. in the shot where we first see him without the mask after his night of batmanning, the makeup is faded, smudged and dropping and it's greasy and not matte like other batman movies tend to make it out. perfect attention to detail

*The Riddler in the comics and other adaptations:* A genius with a bowler hat, a mask, a question mark cane, and a green suit. *The Riddler in The Batman:* Looks like the kind of guy that you can find on the Dark Web.

I love the opening when Riddler kills the Mayor because you get the sense that after all his years of planning and revenge it could have all fallen apart if he had screwed up bonking him on the head.

Batman's angry, calculated fighting style is so brutal. He's always aiming for points to cause the most damage. I love that he always takes a few hits in every fight. It feels much more grounded when he's not perfect.

Just a personal thing, but I love whenever Batman is called THE Batman. Or the Bat Man Because it gives him a mythological/urban legend-like feel and its brilliant for an early Batman. Like Arkham Origins, which was set a similar amount of time into his career and the thugs often questioned wether or not he existed and I love that.

12:22 I like how this moment is shown from Bruce's perspective So we can feel what is like to escape from an angry mob Even when you rely on your best gear, moments like this are truly terrifying

I love that the bat in the light is made from cut pieces of the light. It isn't an additional piece

One of my favorite scenes of the movie was with the bat-signal, followed by the criminal looking at the dark alley. It just made it seem as though the shadows was an actual living being the way it was displayed here. Your own imagination would conjure images of the shadows with tendrils just slipping out and pulling you in.

Also, can I say the fact about Michael Giacchino’s Score is pure perfection? The man is truly built like our new John Carpenter, now directing a Special (Werewolf By Night)? I support him 100%.

I watched this at an early preview with my older brother and dad, and at several points throughout the movie, my brother would just quietly whisper “I feel like I’m watching a comic book”…… and he’s 100% correct. Matt Reeves, his DP Greg Fraiser, Michael Giacchino, and Robert Pattinson absolutely nailed every aspect of this.

This version of the Batmobile is the best one yet. That intro shot of it coming through the alley, looking like it was coming out of the depths of hell itself. And then that roar as he floored it.

Colin Farrell was AMAZING in this. I can't see how he didn't get an award for this.

A phenomenal, perfect Batman movie. Up there with the Batman movie series that featured Heath Ledger's Joker. Just perfect in every way. What a unique take, depicting Batman in the early years. And I love the unique take on the Riddler. He isn't some silly guy in question mark suits. He is equally as much a dangerous, psychotic terrorist as the rest of them. He was so intimidating. He was great! Riddler is so underrated, nice to see him get his due like this. And Robert Patterson impressed me. Sounded like a haha meme when he was cast, but he truly was great in this role. If it weren't such a long movie, I'd be watching it over and over again.

I can only describe this film as a miracle. Amidst the muck within the genre and against all likely odds of turning out mediocre, we instead received a timeless film of pure technical brilliance

Everything about that early shot at the crime scene...him staring at the kid who found his dead dad, holding that stare a few seconds too long, reminded you everything you need to know about why Bruce Wayne is Batman. What a creative way of re-establishing that trauma without a Thomas & Martha death scene... Though I do hope we get some sort of glimpse through nightmares or something. That would be cool. Also, the bat-signal being a normal spot light with a few shutters broken and bent into the shape of the bat wings? C'mon. So good.

Honestly my favourite batman movie personally

I think the way they made the new batmobiles "scream" as it started up really sold how terrifying it could be, how the sound of it can inspire terror. Peak audio work

The opening 30 minutes were perfect, the criminals terrified of the shadows because batman is that good at what he does

the batmobile introduction scene is probably the best batmobile introduction scene I've ever seen in any Batman movie. The way it looks and sounds, like an actual beast hunting its pray and how it actually strikes fear, it's absolutely insane, I love that scene so much.

One thing shown in this video that I really loved in the film is when we hear Bruce Wayne’s voice from Batman’s cowl. It’s so rare in any Batman feature to break through the mask like that and remind us of the man underneath. Pattinson’s performance in that scene definitely doesn’t hurt, either.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE BATMAN!! This is definitely my favorite version of Batman, next to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Matt Reeves made this cinematic masterpiece and I loved every second of it. And the cinematography in this movie is unmatched. It is the prettiest cbm ever made. The soundtrack was pitch perfect and Michael Giacchino really over delivered in this.

The upside down slow walk up to the penguin might be my favorite shot in film. Everytime I see it the better it gets.

The fact that the sponsor was Adam and Eve, and they probably have Batman and Catwoman themed (but obviously not officially licensed) stuff is not lost on me. Use the promo code to get a whip!

The batmobile entrance was the greatest movie scene I have ever had in a theater. The sound design alone made it amazing. I went a second time just to see that scene. The theater literally shook and it was so loud, it was fucking amazing. It was pure bliss. I literally can't find the words to describe it.

Honestly what I love most about this movie is how it shows Bruce becoming an almost mythical figure to criminals in Gotham by the end.

The best part of this movie for me was the introduction/Batmobile chase. There’s no better scene in this movie. The startup in the dark, hearing the mix of turbine whine and big V8 rumble, while only seeing the glow of the engines is absolutely insane.

Me and my friends watched this movie kind of on a whim and we went in with honestly not much in terms of expectations, but holy crap I am so glad we watched it because I don't think I've enjoyed myself that much in a movie for a long time. This movie is fantastic

One of my favorite things is the walk after the car chase. It’s the only time in the film his walk has spurs played over it like he’s some bat cowboy

Fun Fact: Riddler was actually inspired by The Zodiac Killer

I've never been so on the edge of my seat and surprised by a movie in a while. The mystery in this movie is absolutely amazing.

I'm not usually one to notice all the film techniques but I really noticed how good the cinematography was in this, especially of the city. The batmobile winding up gave me chills in the cinema, as a car guy it was awesome.

The opening and closing monologues are the best representation of Batman's beginning career. The cinematography is so phenomenal

The sound of the new Batmobile warming up is my favourite part by far, sounds like a witch screaming type thing. Puts everyone so on edge!

I better see a win for the opening fear montage showing that whilst the criminals fear batman, it *doesn't* actually make any of them fail at their crimes. They all pull off their crimes, they just were a little afraid on the escape

2 Things 1) Colin Farrell is such a fantastic and often unappreciated actor and from first hand accounts he's actually an awesome human being IRL too. 2) When I saw this in theatres (twice) I couldn't help but laugh nervously at the Batmobile because however they managed it I believed that it was like an animal of it's own. The engine roar winding up like its a jet motor and especially jumping through the flames just absolutely terrifying in theatre.

Absolutely true to that one, Michael Giacchino is always a win. You got that right. 13:35

This is the last sponsor I ever expected for CinemaWins lmao

The fact that they had a character named Anni and said it correctly is enough for me to only have great things to say about this movie. 👏🏻

This is the only movie I've ever watched in movies twice, I think that chases scene was the most tense moment of my life

What I love about main theme in this movie is that it almost sounds like it's trying to say "IT'S... THE BATMAN..."

To me, THIS is the most true Batman film ever made. Feels like it was made from the ground up by people who truly care about this character and his world. The Direction. The Acting. The Music. The Cinematography. Everything is just to such a high standard. Makes other comic book films look even more like the family friendly, super hero comedies they are in comparison.

I like that they kept it fresh.

Never have I been so excited for a pt.II to a video of yours. This was a momentous film in history and you making a video of it cements that into my soul lol

This has quickly become my favourite movie of all time. Saw it for the third time last night and it’s just flawless to me!

Seeing this movie in theaters was worth it. The action scenes were so loud compared to the rest of it whenever someone starting fighting I got jump scared tho.

This movie gives us something the others only gave pieces of: Authenticity. To the character and the universe. I can't wait for the sequels.

I really appreciate your videos. It's also helped me pay way more attention to the composers of every movie but especially to Michael Giacchino. He is indeed always a win. Your videos are also always a win, even on movies I didn't care for (looking at you Tenent). The uplifting and positive outlook and review has increased my love for certain movies but also helped me appreciate things I hadn't noticed before.

I personally love how in the car chase scene with Penguin and Batman, the Batmobile is filmed and made to sound like a savage, feral monster. The way the engine revs sound like roaring or snarling, the way it slams into the back of Penguin's car like it's trying to tear the bumper off. It's all so amazing and really puts into perspective how terrifying Batman is in the eyes of the criminals he fights

Thanks for the new ball gag Lee! 😂

This movie is probably one of my favourites, had a massive hyperfixation on this since it came out!! love this

I've watched this movie many times already and I know I'll always come back to it, but it's just amazing how you can notice new things every time. Truly brilliant. My favorite Batman movie so far.

Of course the movie shows us Bruce is facing his trauma, something that needs to be shown more, the fact Batman is dealing with things in the worst possible way, he’s also trying to give people something to fear so they will think twice before doing crime.

I really hope one day we get everything great about a silent voice.

YES- I loved this move and I’m so glad that you’re covering it now!!!

Love how purrrrrrrrrkour made you giggle mate. Gotta love those fun little moments at work

Great video as always!! My one snag was I wished you mentioned how amazing the sound design for the batmobile reveal was. That in theaters was such a goosebump moment for me

Easily one of the best comic book films in years

5:06 I find that kinda funny since Rob Pattinson keeps stuck with that Twilight vampire reference! (Except that vampires in Twilight can withstand sunlight)

god i love cinemawins so damn much! keep up the amazing work mate!!!

What I love about your videos is that I can watch a movie and like it then kinda forget about everything except the fact that I like it. Then your video comes out and now I can relive the feelings I felt watched the movie! Keep making videos they are great!

When the Riddler started singing Ave Maria, my stupid mind immediately went to those Filthy Frank videos where he'd sing it as a joke. So I am in the theater trying to stifle a laughter while everyone is terrified of him.

You’re such a wholesome guy. Everything you say in and outside of your script feels so genuine. Have a great day man!

I love Batman as he can be the darkest superhero or the most light hearted and kid friendly superhero

Yesssssss, I've been hoping for the video since I first found your channel!! ♡ This film is absolutely incredible and manages to bring in so many of my favorite elements of Batman that most media miss ♡ A personal win for me is when he jumps in front of the car to save the son--even though he's in his 'Bruce Wayne' disguise and there are so many people around, while everyone else scatters to gets out of the way, without any hesitation he turns right to the kid to try and protect him ♡ You can take the suit off the Bats but you can't take the Bats out of Bruce

Me and my big brother watched this movie 1 day before it came out in IMAX Theaters. TBH, it does feel so dark and scary, especially when they are solving riddles. I love the Batman movie.

I absolutely love this version. Paul does so well with acting as both Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Plus, this movie goes way more into his roots. Some of the more recent movies go more into his fighting and backstory, but this one goes more into his roots as a detective. It's called DC for a reason, and this reminds fans where Batman as a character started. Plus, the more creepy version of the Riddler and the mystery and misdirection works SO well with the detective Batman. I love this version so much and am so excited to see if more like this comes from DC. If it does, they can do a lot better than they have. They tried too hard to catch up to Marvel, but this new version can actually work for some audiences! I love this so much.

I love the shot between that lines up the space behind the penguin in the car between the headrest and the window he has to look through it as if he doesn’t believe the reflection he just saw in the mirror

Honestly, one of my favorite things to enjoy during my viewing of the movie was catching all the "Something in the way" reprises throughout the soundtrack.
