He may be corrupt, but I kinda respect how he rather chose to die than to put his family in danger

Dano’s delivery of “I’m giving you a chance…. Nobody ever gave me a chance” with the hit of his music never fails to give the chills.

This version of Riddler is straight up Jigsaw

0:45 The fact that the blast happened in exactly 2 minutes is something rare in films nowadays. Good editing.

*1:33** - "58 SECONDS!"* Paul Dano is one of the best actors I've ever seen. The psychopathic, sadistic personality he has as the Riddler, the mental breakdowns... it's so accurate to the comic book character. That part in the theater everyone around was silent. They didn't laugh, or say anything. It was scary.

It was such an in-character moment for Batman to stay there with Colson and not let him die alone, in this scene he was already growing as a hero.

1:47 “Don’t lose your ahead” I love the Riddler’s wicked sense of humor in this movie.

1:36 "HOW MUCH?!!", Batman asked calmly

A true masterclass from Pattinson, Dano, and Saarsgard. The delivery of the line "HOW MUCH?!?!?" from Pattinson's Batman is so great because despite him not caring about the fate of Colson due to him being one of the corrupt cops in Gotham, he still doesn't want Colson's blood on his hands.

Robert Pattinson did a awesome job with the character

Peter Sarsgaard's wife Maggie Gyllenhaal played Rachel Dawes in 'The Dark Knight', where her character shared the exact same fate: Got blown up by a Batman villain.

Peter Sarsgaard is so underrated in this scene. Gil Colson, although a terrible person, feels so human that you have to emphasize with him in this scene. And it's a great divide between the Riddler and Batman

This scene was a masterclass in suspense and acting imo. I was gripping the sides of my chair the whole time in the theater as Paul Dano's Riddler utterly commanded the scene with his unsettling, yet subtlety tragic presence. I actually felt butterflies in my stomach as he was about to blow up the DA despite having no connection to that character.

At 1:41, I laughed when he said "he didn't ask me that", and after watching the rest of the movie, I realize that he said that so he'd avoid bringing up that the cases involved Falcone.

Watching this scene in the theaters, gave me chills. Especially the Riddler's voice on the phone. Paul Dano really nailed it!

Frankly speaking, how great was Paul Dano? I will repeat this forever...like Heath Ledger's Joker is THE JOKER, Paul Dano's riddler is THE RIDDLER! He is exactly like Zodiac, awesome!!!

People seem to forget Paul Dano was able to keep up with Daniel Day Lewis. It’s really no wonder he’s such a good actor

the fact that batman survived the bomb without his face getting burned is mind blowing!!!

Robert nailed the quiet and intense detective Batman.

I still can’t get over how GREAT Robert Pattinson’s American Accent is!

I love this vastly different take on The Riddler. Instead of being depicted as a wacky criminal mastermind like he's mainly depicted in most of the Batman media whether it's Jim Carrey or the late Frank Gorshin's portrayals, but as a mysterious and deranged serial killer, but still keeps his general characteristics & traits like his obsession with Riddles and Puzzles etc Paul Dano really nailed it as The Riddler in _The Batman_ I must say.

“HOW MUCH!” Pattinson has a great Batman voice when he yells

I love this version of the Riddler. This one; he is based on the Zodiac killer. Also; Putting a bomb around a guy's neck; something The Joker would do.🃏

Something really underrated about this scene is that Colson actually died choosing to protect his family. A dirty POS, but at least he died with some sense of honor

1:54 paul dano is extraordinary. I got chills just by him singing "last riddlllee~"

I love the contrast between Batman keeping his calm and charisma and the guy who’s freaking out with the riddler jubilating !

Can't believe that behind that creepy mask lies a baby face nerd. Dano was perfect for the role. I love his playful tone as he messes with Colson.

1:36 How much Battinson asked calmly

This scene is perfection on so many levels, the fear on his face knowing he’s dead either way is just amazing and I hope we get a performance of this level in the later sequels.

“ Last riddle “ it’s so perfect

The system he’s talking about is probably the Court of Owls.

He didmt even count down to one. He just said, "BYE!" That's was ice cold! I think even if he fully confessed, he wasn't gonna let him go.

The way Colson was so scared of giving out information really made it feel like it was hinting at Court of Owls. I don't think Falcone would put such fear of God in him alone. Also on another note. I love how the last comment you see at 2:30 on that stream is someone actually feeling bad for Colson and asking if this is okay to watch him explode. It's hilarious.

That last bit where Riddler's counting down and instead of "2, 1" it's just a long "goooodbye" man that's chilling

2:14 “he’s gonna kill you” gives me chills

That scene was so intense

1:04 Lol I love how Colson looks at Batman like he just told him that he won the lottery when all he did was say “Justice”

This movie was an absolute masterpiece

Bruce knew the answers right away. Impressive

Paul Dano is the most underrated actor.

Paul Dano crushed it! A true testament to how great of an actor he is that even though a good amount of his scenes are through a phone/computer screen and his face is completely hidden under a mask that he manages to make you feel like Riddler is in the room with you. “I’m giving you a chance. No one ever gave me a chance” is bone chilling.

The funny thing is, most people probably assumed that Batman having a deep and growling voice is just a throat problem. One of the two reasons why I am happy Robert Pattinson did not got all out with the growling.

The Direction, Screenplay, oof, simply AMAZING.

No words to describe how sensational Paul Danos performance was. To me, just as good as Heath Ledgers joker. So terrifying and disturbed.

the way batman yells "how much" is so funny like he doesnt even move his head when he says it

Dano's voice is so musical in this movie. I love it. He's freaky and funny. Good mix for Riddler.

“It’s the whole system!” Literally the cherry on top.

I'll never be able to hear anyone playfully say: 'Boop!' without going into a shivering flinch.

the tension on this scene is surreal.The acting of Pattinson,Saarsgard and Dano is incredible.

The moment The Riddler screams at Coulson paid a nice homage to Heath Ledger's Joker screaming "LOOK AT ME!" from The Dark Knight.

“I’m giving you a chance….no one ever gave me a chance” Damn.

1:20 - He said it guys! He said the line! 😲

Dano, Pattinson, and Sarsgard made this scene. Amazing acting from the trio

Paul did a fantastic job portraying Riddler's obsession and love for puzzles and riddles. He gets extremely excited and happy whenever the DA plays along with him, so it's very convincinf

I mentioned, in a true crime group, about how Riddler is largely based off the Zodiac in the movie and someone mentioned how this scene might’ve been influenced by Death of Brian Wells. A pizza delivery man that was held hostage and forced to rob a bank with a collar bomb locked to his neck in 2003. Netflix did a documentary on that called, “Evil Genius”.

My head-canon for Batman somehow surviving basically a 1 inch distant explosion is the shrapnel from the explosive was directed into the DA and not outwards. From my understanding, the actual fiery explosion itself is not the super lethal part of explosions, it’s the shrapnel. The fiery bit is just a chemical reaction and lots of blast pressure but the little fragments that are expelled by the explosive’s high pressure are the real killers. Then again, that amount of energy is still not very healthy for a human body and you’d probably die unless you were a super-hero… which Batman is. Also, Batman’s gloves are armoured so the ‘minimal’ shrapnel that had been expelled outwards was most likely blocked when he covers his face. And the blast wave was probably padded out by his armour overall. But tbh, I am more surprised about his actual armour plating and cape being intact, more so than his face being unaffected. Sorry, I just wanted to nerd out about Batman and alleviate plot armour confusion. If anyone has more scientific explanations please give.

I feel like we’re getting the court of owls in the next movie like he said "it’s so much bigger than you can imagine it’s the whole system".

I saw the movie in theatres, this plus the car chase scene hit different with those cinema sound effects on high volume.

This scene felt like it came out of Saw, straight intensity on a trap with the timer running.

One thing I love about this scene that isn't shown in the clip is right afterwards, when you can _clearly_ see the concern on Gordon's face after the bomb's gone off.

As a Batman fan, the fact that we get so many good interpretations like Bale, Affleck and Pattinson is so cool. every single one of them did a great job in different aspects of the character.

How did y’all not put the opening scene. That’s a damn shame

Who else was trying to solve the riddles in the theatre but batman beating them to it

Jigsaw would be proud of the Riddler.

I just now realized that the Riddler theme is basically a scarier, more chilling of Ave Maria. Michael Giacchino is a seriously underrated music composer.

I love how the DA still thinks on his toes, 'he didnt ask me that come on' great acting!

This riddler was on point.

1:28 “oh god, BRIBES”

How much?? HOW MUCH???? His voice is 10 times better than Christian bales voice

To me Robert Pattinson was the best as Batman (while I still love Christian Bale as the Dark Knight) to me Robert was like the equivalent of Tom Holland when he played Spider-Man.

2:24 Court of Owl?

I knew this movie would be legendary when I heard Paul Dano say, “…I’ve always loved little puzzles…”

This felt like a scene out of the first Saw movie.

Riddler giving me vibes of the Zodiac Killer

This scene was actually really suspenseful and the acting of Riddler’s actor was amazingly psychotic, I haven’t seen a superhero movie in a while that had a good suspenseful scene or was good at all, this film is great

So funny that the actor who played Colson is married to the actress who played Rachel in "The Dark Knight." And they both blew up.

the way batman solved "justice" is so epic

"he didn't ask me that come on" is the best piece of comedic energy needed in a situation like this. Major salute to the writers.

I absolutely love the moment where Riddler was laughing while making a joke about him to “not lose your head” was actually really in tone to how Riddler is. I love how they combined this serial killer but still has the big part of who the Riddler is, I love this movie, no one can tell me otherwise.

I love how calm Batman was during this scenario

Fun movie trivia: Peter Sarsgaard plays an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. His wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal also played an attorney who gets blown up in a Batman movie. Gotta keep it in the family, amirite? LOL

This is the second time Sarsgaard got blown up by Dano.

This scene was Scary, Thrilling and pure DREAD. The Atmosphere, The Acting, The Plot, THE MUSIC! And pure feeling of Hoplessness is just clear as daylight and PERFECT. It's a masterclass of not only Suspense, but Horror. Reeves treated Batman like a God and Portrayed him as what he's meant to be: A Horrorifying Entity (in the thugs perspective) and Vengeful Spirit of the night that puts genuine fear into thugs and brings justice to the streets of Gotham in an extremely Rash, violent and raw way in his early 2 years. I couldn't take my eyes of the screen, it's that scary. It just feels so real and scary since it's a situation that literally could happen in real life. Not only that, it felt like a Batman Graphic Novel come to life, the darkness, horror elements and grittiness in this Movie is what makes it the BEST Batman movie to date, and it's not even a Horror movie, yet there are so many moments in this that make you jump as if it IS one. I cannot wait to see what Reeves has Planned for The Caped Crusader in The Batman 2. By far a Masterclass in Cinema, Acting and Plot. This is a Masterpiece.

people hate what they don’t understand

1:35 1:37 how much , HOW MUCH

Paul Dano killed it in this scene as I loved all of it Matt Reeves certainly knows how to pick his actors for his villains

This scene just gave me chills in the theater.

This is the best Batman movie imo. Also one of my favourite movies ever partly because of Pattinson and Dano!

My absolute favorite batman movie ever

I love the little boop he make when he start the timer

The Riddler really creeped me out in this movie.

A perfect scene in cinema history !

Godamn watching this in the theaters was so exciting, the scene picked up so much speed and suspense in during the last riddle

Can't blame coleson for not telling who's the rat, he knows that his family would be in serious danger.

This is one of my favorite scenes. I absolutely loved this movie's take on the Riddler.

Amazing how the time of the bomb starting to the bomb detonating is pretty much perfect filmed perfect to actual time whereas other films has 3 real life minutes for a 30 second timer in the film 😂👏

1:54 , laaaast ridddlllleeeee :)

Batman movies always amazing

Riddler was having that conversation with Batman, and then followed with that calm "wait a minute" to shout at Coulson 😂😂.

Such an iconic & memorable scene. By far the greatest Batman movie ever, and by far the most realistic and modern one as well. If I were to rank this, it would definitely be ranked first out of all of them. Going to keep things short and simple, and not try to spoil it for anyone that hasn't watched it yet as it only came out this year but I watched this on Christmas and fully on the 26th just like every year when my brother and I pick out a movie to watch on Christmas since its always been a tradition of ours. Like this is honestly such a masterpiece, there's no flaw with it. It's the most realistic version of the actual storyline version of Batman that they were able to portray properly, realistic, and accurately. The movie literally tells us the actual story of "Batman"/"Bruce" storyline from how it began and how his legacy started out as well as grew from a very different perspective in comparison to all the other Batman movies. Like even the cast were amazing, especially Pattinson where he successfully managed to depict both Bruce as well as Batman perfectly well, same thing with the rest of the cast, like Carmine who was played so well, same thing with Catwoman especially the riddler. Even the Batman and Commissioner duo was amazing, and one to watch. Goodcop, and batcop. Such an amazing soundtrack, a perfect, realistic, modern storyline that fits in with today and isn't overreached, or unrealistic, great cast with amazing potrayls of there characters that had no flaw, great effects, and emotion. Like you would always be on edge, and on your seat thinking as well as wondering what was going to happen next. You were literally focused on the movie at all times, esepcially with the amazing detail of the storyline that they nailed, and the attention in detail. Its literally a masterpiece and such an unforgettable movie, theres honestly no flaw with it and is one of my most favorite movies that I've ever watched on Christmas with my twin brother who never fails with his picks. Truly worth it, as well as a must watch if you wish to understand it or to see for yourself. Honestly can't wait for its sequel, trilogy if there's going to be one, and the future of this Batman. It's the best version of Batman as well as the most realistic Batman yet. One that isn't over the top, overreached and is just like the rest of us - having emotion, a past etc. - 12.26.2022
