Definitely true 😂

Dude went full on Jared Leto

can confirm matt reeves told me

NERD!

That's definitely a change i've noticed over the years. Back in like the Tobey McGuire Spiderman era. The actor usually would only read the comic the movie was specifically based on. The research was fairly surface level. He still did a great job and actors can still do a great job in these roles with minimal research (some would actually refuse to read the comics so they could really do their own take), but it's so amazing to see present day actors really DIVE IN head first into the deep end of the comics. Actors always talk about having meaty roles to really sink their teeth into and i'm glad they finally realize the last decade or so that comic book lore is a big fat juicy steak. The versions of the characters they can bring to the screen when they really dig in like that result in a more nuanced take on the characters, as everyone in this cast has shown.

Yes!! I feel bad for Zoe in this vid in a way. It's obvious that she doesn't read the comics, which is absolutely fine, but she has to keep herself in the convo. She reminds me of one Friends episode where Joey buys an encyclopedia so that he can do more than just nod in smart chats lol.

the glasses over the mask weren't only a reference to zodiac killer but they are the exact same glasses used by Jim Carrey's Version of the riddler i thought that was awesome

Yet he doesn't know about the flashpoint Batman with Thomas Wayne being batman

@@redder_ Nobody cares

@@ProcyonNite appearently you do, I posted this a year ago dude.

that's kinda the point right? He could easily focus just on the big baddies but he always fights the low-level thugs too to make sure other kids don't lose their parents and the sole reason he has adopted so many kids but also made them into his sidekicks cuz he's obsessed with vengeance.

It’s almost like an act of self affirmation. He needs to prove to himself that if Batman had been in they alley the night his parents were murdered, Batman would have stopped it. He could have save them.

3:55

As he says in the movie "This is my father's legacy".

It's like partaking in a Tarantino movie of your own past, at least in Batman's case

@@kaytamurray same

I was so impressed they both read the Court of Owls series.

Just finished the game a couple of weeks ago, it was an awesome take on the backstory of the Wayne‘s. And I loved that they included a little bit of it into the Movie!

They sadly haven't seemed to have heard of flashpoint there missing out.

When I watched The Batman, I felt the same excitement as when I'd first watched Batman Begins, before the Dark Knight was a movie. A love of how the portrayal was done, and an excitement to see what happens next.

L + Too dark + Too long + Boring + TDK is better

^ fatherless child

I loved all 4 of these actors in their roles!! Cant wait for the sequel. Very excited.

The movie isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be. Its the perfect not perfect movie. And by far it was THE BEST Batman movie as of yet. It isn't a better movie than TDK, but again, it doesn't have to be. Its already a much better Batman film.

Yeah plus in rebirth when the timeliness crossed over and flashpoint batman did actually meet mainline batman like he said

@@glenlewis1086 that was hilarious he mentioned that but didn’t even know

And batman made batman cry

Which is sad because i don't think he noticed it.

Well yani had 1/2 truth with him

well, they had commissioner Gordon with them

Yeah. Paul is the most enthusiastic one while Robert is a close second

They were standing which I think was a weird choice lol

@@CulturedBear I forgot is he now the new commissioner??

That’s what I was thinking during my watch of the movie. They never said anything to the contrary so until I see otherwise, this is my head canon

@@PillowMane Isn't the reporter's son Thomas Elliot, aka Hush, rather than Edward Nashton? I think if they wanted the reporter to be the Riddler's father, they'd have made it explicit. In this case, I think it's better to take Riddler at his word for his motivations.

@@DomoftheDoctor Ope you’re probably right. I’m wrong. Especially with Matt Reeves saying he wants to do a Hush storyline.

@@PillowMane x2

I wondered that too while I was watching it until they revealed that the reporter's name wasn't Nashton.

Read some of the graphic novels like dark Prince Charming and noel

shame they dont know about Thomas wayne tho

@@spade2278 Right? Haha. I was like Paul, someone wrote that already

Very true usually I don’t get intimidated or scared by villains but Paul is an exception because I have never been so scared in a movie theater Ever before like Heath ledger joker scared

Might be the scariest superhero villain after Nolan's Joker. Paul nailed it.

He's a fantastic Riddler.

I couldn’t help but feel he was trying too hard to be like Heaths Joker, wasn’t impressed

@@AllWithinReach91 well, this is what every batman fan has being saying since the dark knight's release to everyone that plays a villain of the Batman universe.

Same I thought the telltale story was an amazing Batman story and it got swept under the rug because of telltale antics around the time. The validation feels awesome

True!!! It's sad to see how underrated it is

@@moemamadarasz4016 Indeed it is, I am still waiting for Telltale Batman season 3 since they revived telltale and still have Batman’s license.

Yes, the Sins of the Father graphic novel that goes with those games is literally mentioned. Kind of an Easter egg, or more.

That was a cool moment where he knew that interactive batman series! I know it too, as a big Batman fan I guess, but I never had an interest in playing well.. semi-interactive games. I just always come back to the Arkham series - especially Arkham Origins/Knight. Origins is also pretty underrated!

DC has a multiverse too, on Earth-Two Thomas and Martha Wayne watch Bruce's murder and become Batman and the Joker.

He even know that thomas wayne actually became batman in an another timeline

Im glad he is coming back in the sequel or maybe all the three movie

Affleck was the worst, Pattinson is way better. I still think Bale is the best but Pattinson has the potential to be better I just wanna see the Bruce Wayne side of the character grow more. I get he’s all emo cuz of his trauma but I feel he’d be the top suspect for being Batman with the eyeshadow stains and acting the same as Batman when he’s not in the suit while he’s this famous billionaire.

Ben affleck was a awful Batman. Christian bale was good but Robert Pattinson is without a doubt the best onscreen Batman we’ve ever gotten.

I agree, but I think the script for The Batman let him down.

I had my doubts about Pattison because I will always correlate him to that awful vampire movie but I reminded myself we had Afleck as Batman for many years and there couldn’t possibly be anything worse than that. After seeing the movie, I am glad I gave Pattison’s rendition a try. I still think he is quite cringe for that twilight role but he did a great job showing the angst side of Batman and not the playboy douchebag side that we always see on screen.

I like batfleck

He was INCREDIBLE as The Riddler! Saw the movie in IMAX last night

I watched early screening yesterday n i can tell u the first 2 minute of this video i thought "it's the same guy that did a murder spree n had a creepy voice in the movie" haha..It's disctracting for me now to hear Paul Dano talk normally

yes he is. paul is freakin crazy as edward. i think its almost perfect as a villain

Singing was on point🤌

@@leonardohenrique5172 I think as an individual movie, the Batman is better But some of the actors and writing was better in TDK. And if this movie gets a trilogy, I think it will surpass the Nolan trilogy

i need court of owls

they’re definitely going to go down that road in the next movie. looking forward to it

If they don't go into it in this movie it would be really interesting to have a reveal later on in the series, the whole idea is that the Court of Owls operates in the background without being recognized.

@@vagabond8460 maybe they’ve set it up in the batman

Court of owls or mr freeze

both telltale batman games are such underrated gems.

@@acestesquintin7233 I absolutely love those games. Brilliant storytelling

@@RShadow12 I always hoped for a season 3 but it never came out. Of course then telltale fell but was revived and apparently they still have the Batman license so it may be possible.

It was an interesting game

Definitely. It's also a really good portrayal of the Batman universe that is kinda underground because few people actually played the telltale series.

Agreed

Telltale Batman was great. I just hope they do a telltale Batman season 3 since it’s quite possible.

I also see something alike with Arkham Origins, which is also a vigilante batman story not far into his years as Batman. He's just a tad bit more brutal in his younger years kind of like in the film. Lots of interesting detective sequences!

@@r3t_r3tro3 iirc telltale shut down

It’s because they’re English

@@pinkchihua You could throw in Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr Strange and Charlie Cox as Daredevil for other English actors who are very knowledgeable about their comic book characters and take their respective roles seriously.

@@lowqualitygamihng1880 because he's on team iron man

He gets a lot of movie roles. What I’m hoping is that this will make other ppl check out his previous movies. He was great in There Will Be Blood, Prisoners, and 12 Years a Slave

he's in MANY critically acclaimed movies and had jake gyllenhaal and carey mulligan in his directorial debut in 2018. what i'm hoping is that people will be watching his previous films for his roles.

Yeah Paul Dano is in many great movies, I’m sure he chooses his roles wisely instead of any Hollywood blockbuster.

So sad that people only discover actor through their pop corn flicks. Dude even shined next to Daniel Day Lewis.

@@Lari_A Fell in love with Paul Dano after this film so I'm on it! I had watched Prisoners previously and was impressed with him in it (although I didn't actually know him as Paul Dano at the time). I've been watching his previous films ever since I finished The Batman!

respectfully disagree, I thought the rest of the casting was great but the delivery on a lot of his lines seemed a bit off, and his role just seemed out of place compared to the rest of the story. But we shall see how they continue the trilogy

Jeffrey as jim gordon was amazing!! They all were amazing.

I liked Gary Oldman better. But then again, he *is* my favourite actor. I love Jeffrey Wright, but his Gordon didn't seem very invested in anything. He was in a lot of scenes but didn't have a lot to do. With Oldman you could really feel how he needed to rise to the occasion. But it's only the first movie. Lots of room to grow and I'm already hungry for more. Wright was still good, don't get me wrong 😉 It's just opinions anyways. Cheers, have a good one!

@@andregulick3925 Yeah, I thought he made his voice sound like he was trying to be one of the previous Batmen. But his irl voice is good and would’ve suited Gordon, so I don’t know why he did what he did.

The movie hasn’t came out yet though

He actually did lol, you know him well ! I saw in an interview that he's read Mindhunter, and a lot about trauma. He also did some research about online forums of incels / toxic masculinity

You can tell, the way he yells when things go wrong for him make me think the riddler is almost mentally I’ll because of the poor conditions of the orphanage. It was really interesting, and it fits the riddler character well because for him to be obsessed with puzzles he always did this to enjoy something through his awful upbringing. It was actually a new fresh take in a movie, but not one that ruins it. That is very rare to see on movies now.
