I really like the twist that he inspired his villains. He realizes that his whole vengeance message is inspiring the wrong people and at the end he turns to inspire hope. A good character arc that make me excited to see the future of this character and Pattinson’s acting when he thought the riddler found out his identity was so good. He looked so scared that his identity was found out, and then you see his facial expression change so fast when he realizes riddler doesn’t know.

Word of God: According to Matt Reeves, the appearance of *Barry Keoghan as the Joker* was not meant to set up the villain of a future movie, but instead to convey that after being active for two years, Batman already has a history and a growing Rogues Gallery. In a Deleted Scene early in the film, *Batman sneaks into Arkham to get Joker's take on the Riddler murders.*

To me, Batman’s lack of emotion in the “leaning over to look at Penguin” scene is way, _way_ , *_way_* , scarier than if he was pissed. And I think so for the same reason I think those big, thunking footsteps when he’s _walking_ , not _running_ ,are scarier than if he just jumped on you from behind- this version of Batman isn’t afraid of you getting away. You can run, if you’ve got the energy. But he’ll get you. And it will hurt until he does.

I love how this film subtly calls out Riddler for what he really is near the end. His campaign of terror has always been about "no more lies", when he himself is living a lie. When Batman tells him his delusion of them being a team is rightfully insane, he breaks down into a tantrum, rejecting the reality around him for the one that serves his ego the most. Underneath the guise of the chess master who can plan it all out, he's a dangerous child who never grew up.

See, I understand why Doug didn't like the climax, but I really liked it myself. The fact that the villain wasn't there in person I actually thought was a great touch. Often in real life, the worst villains are not the ones who do everything themselves, but rather the ones who inspired others to do evil (think Charles Manson). The reveal that the Riddler had all these followers ready to carry out his will, and they considered Batman as much of an inspiration as the Riddler was powerful. The climax was an emotional one where he's forced to confront his own dark side in a way we haven't really seen from Batman before. He learns what he's done wrong, and realizes what he can still do right. Even the choice of using water in the climax I thought was good because of the "wash away the filth" aspect, and bats don't generally do well in water.

I appreciated the fact that this was a new Batman, not Batman in his prime. So yeah, the Batmobile isn't spectacular, he wears like a jumpsuit and crashes horrifically cause he's not used to it, and the cops really, really don't trust him. You see how vulnerable he is, but he is trying to establish himself. Also, I freaking loved that you could hear his footsteps. It just added to his fear factor. None of the other Batmans were ever really scary or that threatening, but this guy? Yeah, I'd be shaking in my boots. But again, he is young and inexperienced, he will figure it out in the sequels, so I can really appreciate all the things he's doing that typically most Batmans do not do. Makes for a great character arc. I will say, I may like this more than the Dark Knight...almost...cause that's how freaking phenomenal this movie is

Im all for a young batman making mistakes but dude is supposed to be an absolute master of the martial arts and ninja shit. It was such a cool scene only they fucked it up at the last moment to foux realism. He was going so fast the blow he took should have crumpled his spine like a stack of pringles.

I like the chase scene, but it's basically just a really fast car. I know they were going for a more "realistic" version but in my opinion, the Batmobile should always be a little ridiculous looking. Even the Nolan films understood that. 3: I LOVE that they made Martha Wayne an Arkham and that she has more of a backstory as she always seems to get sidelined when it comes to the flashbacks. And I think understanding both of Bruce's parents is key to understanding Batman.

They can make him sympathetic too, he wants to control peoples mind because he wants to stop people from committing crimes and make evil people kill each other but he’s also willing to kill innocent people that get in his way. His tech could only work on a limited amount of people he needs some alive to control the mob. Also with mind control being introduced it can set up Poison ivy and her mind controlling plants

@@Hession0Drasha My only issue with him one day becoming Joker and not already being Joker is the screen time it will take from other villains to eventually turn him. And truthfully all fans really want is a live action Killing Joke origin and that isn’t the easiest to pull off without making Joker the leading villain. If it was up to me, since we never get a clear backstory- he should already be The Joker by the time we see him. He should be such a threat that Batman bringing him down earned blind loyalty from Gordon. But we should never get to see the full story, but only have it referenced in case files and conversations. Joker could say something about how he use to be a handsome fellow before “our little tussle at ACE left me with these beauty marks” but leave it at that. They planted the seed that mental health is so poor in Gotham that even the Wayne’s were not spared. So in this case I think simply having Joker be born from the sickest and ugliest parts of Gotham is a good enough origin. DC just needs to take the time and not rush bringing him into the big picture too soon. If they save it for like The Batman 4 as a payoff for all his smaller appearances it could be epic

It's a tough balancing act to get right, though, and at times it can feel a little *too* subdued -- Riddler's physical appearance being one such case, he's utterly unrecognizable. I would have appreciated some overt nod to the classic Riddler style, like maybe he uses a cheeky cartoon "intellectual gentleman" in a green bowler hat as an internet user icon.

Question for everyone: do you feel like that removal of the joker extra scene was beneficial or detrimental to the movie? I feel like it’s removal allowed for the movie to keep riddler in the main focus and not have people constantly asking when the joker would break out and show up in the last act

beneficial. But they should've also removed the other one or at the very least, like what Critic said, placed it post-credits but I guess they just didn't want to copy Marvel since it was them who popularized that.

I like how Batman loses in this one. Batman is usually seen as unstoppable. Unbreakable. Undefeated. So for him to catch the Riddler but miss the true plot was a good idea. It shows his inexperience and highlights his faults and how much he still has to learn. Also by losing the battle, but still continuing to help, that highlights his unbreakable spirit more than if he had defeated the Riddler. I just like the chances taken in this story. There were a lot taken and most of them played off big time. And the use of lighting/ shadows in the film was masterful. I'm one of the few people who don't like the Dark Knight Trilogy, but I LOVE this Batman.

If this movie was 45 minutes shorter, it would have been near perfect. Everything after the Riddler is captured has that "Dear God this movie is still going" quality to it and it just gets worse as it goes on. Before that my biggest complaint is the car chase ultimately being pointless. Like you say, people died and for no good reason, he could have just hit up the Penguin later.

I think my vote for "best bit of cinematography" does actually go to that penguin car chase. But not quite for the reason you talked about. The batmobile is, throughout almost the entire scene, cloaked in shadow from all angles but the back. You only see the headlights, silhouette, and engine. Which considering he essentially built the thing to roar like a dragon, really hit home what it meant for him to make criminals fear the bat. I mean every other movie can't get enough of showing off their batmobiles. This one wanted to show off what the batmobile actually means, and it payed off in spades.
