The Batman is the newest iteration of the Batman and was directed Matt Reeves. Robert Pattinson is the newest actor to play the character, along with Paul Dano as the Riddler and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. A lot has changed for the DC brand in the past year. After almost a decade of divisive storytelling, most conclude that Matt Reeve's The Batman is fantastic. Why is this the case? What makes The Batman so great compared to other DC movies?

2022s The Batman is the newest iteration of the caped crusader and features Robert Pattinson behind the mask. We have gotten many iterations of the batman. Some are borderline universally beloved, some universally hated, and some with mixed but strong opinions. As someone who is familiar with Batman but not a die hard fan, I didn’t know what to expect from The Batman. Matt Reeves is one of my favorite working directors, the planet of the apes trilogy is one of the most underrated trilogies ever made, so I was optimistic. I remember talking to big batman fans after this movie and they told me so many things they loved about this movie. They loved that this was the most detective batman we’ve ever gotten on the big screen. They loved the tone of Gotham and how it’s presented. They loved that this batman was maybe more brutal than any other batmans we’ve seen. And yes they loved that Batman wasn’t killing people anymore. I couldn’t disagree with them because, again, I’m not the most familiar with the batman lore. But what I am familiar with are movies and stories. So while this may or may not be a great adaptation of the batman character, it doesn’t change the fact that this movie was phenomenal. There are plenty of aspects of this movie that make it great, but today I want to focus on the character work. I haven’t seen every Batman story that exists, but what I can say is that of every Batman story I have seen, this movie has done the best job at building characters. So in this video, I want to dive deep into what I would argue are the 3 most important characters in the movie and what makes each of their stories so compelling. So with that being said, hello everybody and welcome to another video, my name is the gold man and today we’re gonna talk about the characters of Matt Reeves’ the batman.
Of course we must begin this The Batman video essay by talking about the batman and his character arc. We’ve seen many different types of arcs for batman. Sometimes it’s about him undergoing some change. Sometimes it’s about Gotham undergoing a change and how Batman will react. The Batman presents a story where Bruce Wayne goes on a typical character arc. He begins the story one way and by the end he is a changed man who has learned a valuable lesson. So even though the kind of arc he goes on is fairly generic, Matt Reeves perfected Batman’s story and gave him one of my favorite character arcs in 2022. So let’s dive deep into the character arc of Batman and what makes it so effective. In a character arc like Batman’s in this movie, there are 4 important narrative elements that must exist. The first is the character’s Want. What does that character want to happen in the story? Usually this is an external goal that is related to the plot. Bruce wants to protect Gotham City and its people. He goes around town and terrorizes criminals who dare bring harm to Gotham.
