Thank You For Watching!! Leave Me Your Thoughts On Everything Revealed In This Prequel Novel?! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!

Imagine Riddler being your door dasher and he won’t give you your food until you solve his riddles first

Mentions of "exploding gel", "The Bowery", the description of his suit and the forensic obsessions that Bruce grew up with really give me Arkham vibes, which is awesome

I haven't seen the movie But I like how smart they are making Bruce sound in the book. I agree with you on how he thought about the cop giving him special treatment. He just wants to be seen like everyone else.

I really love that we got confirmation that Alfred was part of British intelligence. I was really hoping for badass Alfred when Andy was cast and the fact that he helped train Bruce gets me so excited to hopefully see flashbacks of Alfred and Bruce fighting. The movies have always avoided the military background of Alfred

The ending got me hyped “ I am the shadows, I am vengeance, I am The Batman.”

Batman: works out only for agility and speed Also Batman: slowly walks into every crime scene

I love the idea of bruce doing his travel around the world thing as changing his major and studying the martial arts there. It is in fact genius. Everything has such a logical explanation

I like the way the story goes with Bruce. It just gives him a fresh personality and it makes Bruce become even more interesting which I really like

Pretty cool for the prequel novel digs deeper of the story before the actual movie. And it’s exciting for Bruce do some drift racing which explains why his batmobile is pretty badass.

Okay two things: One: if Bruce Wayne likes chemistry and experimenting with different substances, than this could prove a good way to defeat villains like Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and Bane, if we see them in this trilogy. And two: if the bat cave is an abandoned subway station that was connected to Wayne Manor, and riddler went to live in Wayne manor, then he could know how to enter the bat cave…

The Riddler is just a hater bro. Dont sweat it

What I really like is that Edward made sure that the kids and staff were out of the building before he set the fire. Like yes he’s the villain but he isn’t going out of his way to murder a bunch of kids

This book is a YA book that is intended for a younger audience. To get them interested in The Batman universe. It’s really good cross marketing and it’s cool that we also get some information out of it. I don’t think they released it with the intent for people to feel they needed to read it before the movie. Especially adults. I will say, I read it with my kids and they LOVED it and are excited for the movie and it’s actually interesting to read even if you are an adult.

3:34 for anyone actually really excited that the prequel novel gives the training montage Alfred gives to Bruce, which explains the epic fight choreography Pattinson’s batman will have. As Pattinson’s batman seems to learn karate, judo, and tae kwan do, but I am actually so hyped to see him do some Brazilian jiu jitsu which as he was trained by rigan machado, who trained Keanu reeves for John wick.

I would love to see MR. Freeze in this universe he’s such a tragic character and I feel like Matt reeves can finally do him justice!

I had no idea they made a prequel book, gonna have to go pick this up , sounds quite interesting

I love this realistic take of The Batman, it respects the source material while still being it's own.

they weren’t wrong whenever they said that this is a completely new take on batman

I LOVE the idea that Bruce hates being recognizable especially right now when he’s younger. It really makes me hopeful that this movie is going to be the first Batman movie to truly get the “Batman is the person, Bruce Wayne is the mask” in the second/third movies (depending on the time jump and/or the development done in the spin off shows they’re planning) they can have him slowly grow into making the Bruce Wayne mask more of a Socialite that uses his recognizability and the special treatment of rich people that he hates to aid his true identity - Batman. I’m not even a huge Batman fan, honestly I tend to find Bruce Wayne to be among my least favorite of the Batman family characters, but I LOVE everyone associated with this movie and I’m genuinely excited.

Man I feel sorry for the riddler...having no parents and constantly being bullied and failing in exams does make one very agitated and angry...add into that the corruption in Gotham where the rich get special treatment...I think he can easily be one of the most sympathetic and memorable villains ever if done right

I needed this today after having a very stressful and crappy start to my day in a research lab and just seeing more stuff about the Batman has really increased my anticipation for this film

I would mind this book being adapted for a prequel series of The Batman.

13:51 whew...thank god. I was scared for second. As much as I like the idea of Alfred training Bruce, I much prefer the idea of Bruce traveling the world and learned things from different teachers. It's one of the things that made him so fascinating to me. Batman's mind is like an amalgamation of different studies from around the world which is what makes him so dangerous and feared by even demi-gods.

Just by listening to this prequel you get an idea how practical and real this version of Batman is you can hardly find any plot holes in this really excited for the movie

This batman I can tell will grow throughout the movies he's not interested in the business side as of now but he'll probably realize running business and RND would benefit his batman mission in later movies imo

I’m way too excited for The Batman and this just adds to my never ending hype!

4:20 to where the novel gives the proper explanation of Robert Pattinson’s physique is specifically on speed and agility, which fits for the style of the earlier years of Batman before bulking even more in the future.

This movie seems very much like Batman: earth one. The Wayne’s not being so clean, Alfred training him, Thomas running for Mayor, it’s kind of scary

"this is the elevator to the batcave" rip unlucky guess

I like the idea of young riddler telling an insult riddle to one of the bullies but they don’t know so they leave to try and figure it out, then realises and chases down riddler and beats him up

"the detective side of Batman" is super important to see and something I'm excited about.

So it sounds like we're likely to get two connected Batcaves in this trilogy, one under Wayne Tower and the other under the Manor, can't lie it makes sense to have the batcave built with existing infrastructure and an easy access to Gotham City so pretty dope

You're telling me I can get my crunch wrap supreme delivered by The Riddler?

I’m so freaking excited for this movie I hope it’s gonna be super good I’m truly pumped to see Roberts portrayal of the Batman

you know the fact that the riddler sound the fire alarm of the orphanage so the kids living there could escape before he burning down the building shows that he has some form of morality which is nice to see

Thank you for this video Chris. Was a great watch, and fascinating to see the direction they're going down. I have such a good feeling about this film, I'm just praying it lives up to it all. The fact that it's nearly 3hrs suggests WB are very confident in it

4:38 I imagined that was the case with this version of Batman I've seen some people body shamming Pattinson... that he's too thin (like "Bat in the Sun") I like that he's muscled but lean, makes sense for Batman, who tends to be a Ninja-like type of character In a fight (or competition like MMA, for example) where you use your whole body in an anaerobic way, the smaller and more lean type of guys are more mobile and can push the pace and keep the fight going for a lot longer, which can turn the tide in their favor, regardless of strength. - Having big muscles sure helps you pack a punch, but it also means you burn more energy the more strikes you throw. As the fight continues the bigger guy will gas out. - Huge muscles do mean limited endurance. These type of guys will tire more easily in a fight, and their speed also suffers, as does mobility and flexibility.

Riddler definitely has ledger potential

What hypes me up the most about The Batman movie is the visuals, the fighting choreography, how everyone looks , Gotham City is dark and gritty, and the fact it's not a typical origin story & Batman finally using his detective skills and figure out what and why the Villain is targeting him and etc . I'm glad we get to see that because we already know his origin story why keep seeing it. I want to see Batman on missions using his detective skills and etc.

The fact that they mention Bruce Wayne going to different universities and taking different majors is what gets me pumped up.. now we know the origin of how he became "the greatest detective"

Great recap! The book was a nice quick read and got me even more hyped (possible?) for the movie. “Batman is all about justice, over the poontang!”

That prequel sounds excellent! I love the little details about Bruce and the Riddler and the depth it adds to their characters. I love how it leans into Bruce's antisocial and obsessive nature, but also that he cares strongly about justice and helping people, even if he doesn't necessarily like people very much. I kind of wish it talked about Catwoman, though.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the book. It was a quick enjoyable read.

Love the clarification on the audible lol I hate when someone says read when they listened lol also thanks for this I'm so hyped!!

I like this Bruce. I like the thought of him going to colleges around the world learning the subject that it's best at and the martial arts of that country. That to me makes sense

Can't believe it comes out in 1 MONTH! So excited🦇

Imagine ur watching the news and they start going over a serial killer who was just arrested and ur like "Oh sh*t. That's the guy who delivered wing stop to me last week"

I'm glad they're giving the Batmobile into a much more grittier and realistic approach and how it reflects Bruce's characters. It's like his Magnum Opus since he dedicated so much to the car since he was 16.

You should review the old Batman movies just like how you did for Spider-Man

Thank you! This prequel doesn't spoil the movie yet gives so much context to it that I'm more excited than ever to see The Batman. A lot of thought went into this story.

ive been reading interviews and watching the tv spots but this prequel book is honestly the best piece of info. I already love the idea of the batman movie and now im gonna appreciate it even more. As a huge batman fan, i love this book. my fav part is that Bruce goes to different universities to learn a different course and fighting skills across the world. Brilliant interpretation, get best of two worlds. That reminds me of a comic elseworld story where Bruce goes to Italy or somewhere and a man teaches him the fighting skills and detective work. I cant wait for the movie. #thebatman

I'm so excited to see this I hope this movie does well I can't wait if matt will make his own DC world

Bro your whole set up with your collectibles and lighting is so awesome. Thanks for the video!

I really the interesting relationship between Bruce and Dax and how he helped her and her father. I love how he travels around the world to learn more about martial arts. I definitely love the mention of Metropolis and Lexcorp. I didn't see that coming at first. Got me excited.

Whenever you said Bruce had a lab I thought of bane because when Batman comes across bane he can take some of the venom serum ( if they do that ) he can use his lab to see what it is.

You made me more excited to read the novel

Just realized your caption of "this is elevator to bat cave" is wrong after watching the movie... it was not the bat cave.

The origin story for Robert Pattinson's Batman is perfect!😃

I really like how they spent a lot of time developing the street racing aspect of Bruce cuz as I was watching the car chase scene in the film I was just thinking “damn, I wonder how he learned to drive like this/where he was able to drive like 200mph without getting his ass beat. Like how did he just wake up one day after deciding to be Batman and go: wanna bet I can drive down incoming traffic with expert maneuvers at 150mph without so much as a scratch?” Like it really rounds out him as a human being. Makes him the most believable Batman I think.

I love how realistic this movie seems. Like the bat mobile seems like something someone would actually drive, the riddler isn’t running around in green gimp-like spandex and looks so badass. But it gives him a realistic motive, and how the cat women doesn’t look like she came out of a sex dungeon but just, man the entire character design and everything is nice, it’s more realistic that Batman would just use a hollowed out metro system and not a crazy man made cave

I love that I literally just got this book in the mail, sat down at my desk, refresh youtube and see four spoilers before I get to read a word 😂

Excellent breakdown Chris! Super hyped for this!

I actually like Riddler not having some deep backstory or reasoning as to why he hates Bruce and wants revenge on him. He’s jealous and petty which sounds like a stupid reason, but that’s the point. Batman’s villains (and most villains for that matter) are deranged and crazy. People like that usually don’t need or have a reason for the evil things they do

Ok. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! It is so original and still keeps the important key moments in Bruce Wayne's origin with a little twist. I love how they treat Bruce in this story as it steers away from the usual version we all know and tries something knew. Chef's kiss.

I have faith this will be the best Batman movie after the dark knight .

Chris you’ve been killing it lately my dude! Nonstop awesome content! Keep it up cause I’m hoping they put you in a KZfaq clip in scream 6! 😂

Wow. They need to shoot this prequel story. The batman would be an incredible mini series!

I just finished reading the actual prequel book. I loved all the backstory and my favorite part was actually the relationship in the mob between falcone and cobblepot and how Bruce hates being Bruce, and the treatment he gets as a rich kid. He wants to be treated like a normal guy.

This subway Batcave idea, it reminds me of the 2012 Ninja Turtles cartoon, and that lair works

Wayne Orphanage? If Bruce Wayne is in charge of it; try and guess who he'll take in...

This was so good, I went ahead and hit that subscribe button. Nice work!

The only difference I feel like they've made with this Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne himself....in earlier iteration and even based on canon. Bruce Wayne has this rich play boy persona by default...I guess it comes with his identity for who he is. But in this iteration, I feel like they are making him more relatable and eventually they'll build up that classic persona, in a way building a mask for Bruce Wayne. In both cases of the earlier and the new iteration, Bruce Wayne wears the mask. Except now we are gonna see him build that mask rather than see him adopt it naturally.

Well I wasn't expecting this video but thank you Chris for this pleasant surprise. 🙌🙏

One of my fav KZfaqrs! I get more excited to watch your vids than to pick up my life😩🤣

I appreciate you putting together these type of videos grow to give that kind of information and background on this upcoming highly anticipated movie without this video I never would have learned this information until maybe the movie if the movie explaining great job

That's a pretty good story and explanation. Bro you're killing it 🔥

“Riddle me this, what’s blind and has eyes, used to make your fries, what used to live and now cries. You have 30 seconds” “Please just give me my food man”

It’ll be nice going into the film now knowing this information, thanks Cris I enjoyed the story it told.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

What a great video! I'm an MCU fan through and through but Batman is the best hero there is. This film has me so hyped, I've bough the Batmobile and Batcave Lego sets.... I'll listen to this audiobook too!

Everything ive heard for the planning for this universe and how every character are about to be introduced in the future are so exciting and very intriguing to be honest. The universe they are making here for sure got me and made me more invested to this upcoming universe. Hope this movie will set the tone for how upcoming dc movies operate.

Thank you brother! I wanted to know if it was canon or not, I'll definitely pick it up now!

Thank you thank you thank you! I was dying to know more about it, but I only had time to read Year One. I had no idea about this "novel" though. Thanks a lot for summarising for all of us! It completed the whole story after watching the movie (which was amazing!)

appreciate you making the dive into the novel for us, didn’t even know about this book until now!

Going to pick up the book now because of this vid! Interesting take on the Riddler, although the origin story is giving me major Hush vibes (grew up in Bruce Wayne’s shadow, orphan, jealous and obsessed with him, etc.).

Just read the book yesterday! Keep up the good content Chris!

This was awesome much needed look into the Batman thanks Chris !

Thank You for sharing this C4 really great insight

7:42 Riddler’s last name isn’t Nygma in this version. Its Nashton.

I REALLY Like this origin for The Riddler.....I read and really enjoyed this book...just increases my already through the roof excitement level. Great video here!

Thank u so very much Chris for this.

13:39 YESS thank you Matt reeves and the writers of this novel! Y’all get the character! That’s exactly what he does in the comics! This is gonna be a good one!!!

Clicked on this video so fast love your content ❤

Sounds like a Batman with addictions and problems. I like it. Adds some layers to the character besides what we have seen in the previous adaptations. As he’s always the same but has one fear and the no killing rule. At least now we understand his humanity and problems with his own life.

I love how I can relate to aspects of both Bruce and riddler, having a connection to both makes thier dynamic more interesting

looks so good i dont know but this content i am waiting for is info on the clifford sequel that's in development i hope to see more

The book is sold out on Amazon UK...this film is going to make $1B easy< I was cast as police officer and due to the pandemic they cancel me and another 200 extras and they brought other people, at least I had the opportunity to see the movie getting shot (Batman on the top of the clock tower and the exterior of the funeral scene) this movie is going to be epic! I can't wait!

At first I thought it was kinda stupid that they made this book but it actually took a really good approach and kinda got me more hyped for the batman. ALSO 31 DAYS TIL ANOTHER MASTERPIECE COMES TO THE BIG SCREEN!!!

Thanks for this video. I was unaware of this novel and was just about to purchase Batman Year One to read before the movie
