Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well :) A quick side note. This video essay is a re-upload. I felt that I could improve upon the last version in many ways such as adding a opening montage for example and improving the sound design to name a few in an effort to make the video as 'Perfect' as it can possibly be. I hope the added adjustments create a much more pleasing and enjoyable experience for you all! :D New video coming soon! As always take care of yourself and stay safe :D - Rayu ❤️ P.S If you happen to like this video there is a slight chance that you may also like a Redhood film trailer I made for a movie I'm working on...Link is down below thankyou! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jryZhNp6kqvFlGw.html

The batman is my fav movie of all time. It’s every thing I wanted as a batman movie from a dc fan. Matt reeves understands the character

The speech at the end of the movie was insanely good and affective. This my favorite Batman movie version for sure.

Matt Reeves truly just understands Batman or at the very least he understands what his version of the Batman is. Not many movies can hold my attention anymore. I get bored and frequently my mind starts to wander. When I went to see this in theaters it held my full attention. Every minute I was glued. What’s even more surprising is that this is an almost three hour long film yet never was I bored. Only wanting more. While I’m sure Matt will never read this I sure hope he gets the praise he deserves for directing this masterpiece

I Personally Think Out Of Any Batman Movie. This One Gets The Core Of Batman Perfectly And Maturely. Was A Great Movie

So I recently watched this movie and this essay is so awesome

The Batman is my absolute favorite Batman movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. The cinematography is beautifully terrifying. The cast is perfect. The atmosphere of the movie is chaotic, moody, and scary. But, at the end of the movie, its flipped on its head. Gotham transforms into a sunny, hopeful city, and its absolutely beautiful.

My Batman🖤 This movie Made me believe In Movies, Cinema again💯

Great video, and an awesome depiction of Batman!

The Batman completes me

Absolutely wonderful video! It truly honors the movie. The editing, the points made, and even the praise given; all proper and succinct!

Amazing. Thank you ❤

Your voice is intoxicating I love listening to your videos x

Great editing in this video

This is a delightful piece. Really appreciate it. I think what this film does so well is accentuate the things that make Batman the most intriguing Superhero. Batman, at his core, is a balance of opposites, a conjunction of opposing symbols, emotions, social dynamics, and archetypal metaphors. What this story does is zeroes in on one specific dynamic, the knife-edge Batman walks between hero and anti-hero. His partnership with Gordon represents the side of him that wants to be a hero, a protector. While his similarity to the Riddler shows us the anti-hero side, that doesn't want to fix the world, but punish it for hurting him. The hero in Batman is angry, but the anti-hero is wrathful. And wrath doesn't seek to fix anything, to repair, to heal. It takes pleasure in pain and destruction. Gordon may be angry, but the Riddler is wrathful. And Batman spends the movie on the edge, ever-tempted to indulge his wrath, to give evil-doers "what they deserve," regardless of the fact this this will fix nothing. The part of him that wants to make a difference is baffled that punishment isn't doing that. And at the climax of the film, he sees this, sees that punishing Gotham can't heal it. Not can it heal him. When he refocuses on helping Gotham, he feels a sense of fulfillment, and perhaps even a serenity he hasn't felt since the death of his parents. In doing this, the film addresses the debate at the core of the character, whether Batman does good or not. Both sides are right. When he's trying to help people, he's a hero. But when he's punishing, torturing, sometimes (depending on the story) even murdering them, he's no hero at all. And from here, all the other contradictions come into focus. It's important that Batman is a billionaire, because it accentuates the contradiction that he has everything but the one thing that matters most, the security of a loving family. The Riddler is right that Bruce Wayne's incredible privilege makes his suffering nothing in comparison to Edward Nashton's. But he's wrong too. They have both lost the same thing, the thing that wealth can't replace. Yet the comfort and ease of wealth can't compare to the unspeakable deprivation of poverty. But here, we see that Edward is only looking for divisions, not commonalities. Just as Batman seeks to separate himself from those he punishes, rather than finding connection and empathy with them. Every aspect of Batman can be defined as a union of opposites. He's an ordinary person, yet superhumanly capable. He's supernatural, yet entirely human. Driven by self-centered compulsions, yet devoting his life to what he sees as a greater good. He's a monster who's very much a man, a criminal who's also a champion of law and order, the DC hero without powers who's the most powerful. When the character is shown not as one or another of these things, but both, then he becomes the captivating figure we love. I think he endures because he contains these contradictions. We connect the version we want, the hero or the anti-hero, the man above the law, or the man serving society. And of course, those who don't like Batman for being one or the other of these things aren't wrong either, they're just seeing half the picture. I loved that the film examines that union of opposites. This is a Batman who can jump off of buildings and fly, and yet, his terror of doing so, and his very imperfect execution, makes you feel all the more what an extraordinary thing that is. He's a superman that's very much an ordinary man. And that contradiction is born out in every aspect of the film. I'm reluctant to throw around the word "perfect" when it comes to art. Being perfect isn't the point. Perfection is for craft, when there's only one way of doing something. So I'd rather judge art for the presence of its qualities than the absence of flaws. That said, I agree that this is a perfect superhero film, in that it encapsulates what the "superhero" means perfectly. A superhero, from where I stand, is a person who becomes a living symbol for the virtue they strive for. That's why the costumes and iconography are an essential component. The symbol represents the character, and the virtue that character signifies. Batman, you might say, is the story of the meaning of the Bat symbol. And that story is more than just the act of fighting criminals, or saving Gotham. It's the story of the person who lost what matters most, and fell into darkness, but turned that darkness into a crusade to make the world a better place. All that is contained in the bat symbol. And this film encapsulates that "perfectly," if that's the right word.

The Batman movie with Pattinson as The Batman (turned out to be a good choice) directed by Matt Reeves is one of the best (if not the best) Batman movies of all the Batman movies thus far and I anticipate the next Matt Reeves directed Batman movie.

I love this movie it it’s more than perfect it does justice to what the dc comics source material can do on screen it shows why these characters deserved to have so many movies before the mcu did lol I love both but I think there’s a reason that dc had so many movies and especially series of movies that were before marvel did I for the most part look forward to the mcu still but I’m very excited to this movie to be followed up

This man gets it! Great review, this is exactly why The Batman is the best Batman movie till date. These are the points that all the haters don't understand with the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman and him growing as a symbol of hope in the movie. Thanks man 💪

I Absolutely Love This Movie 🎬

One thing I'm still saddened till this day is we couldn't see the full potential of ben affleck's batman. I know it would have been wonderful. Ben really did capture the broken man inside part very well.

This guy would make a lot of money doing ASMR

This is an awesome video!! May I ask which font you used for all the titles?

When that light hits the sky Like a big pizza pie It's a warning 🎶

Yeah, aside from The Dark Knight, The Batman is my favorite version of Batman, and one of my favorite Super Hero films. Granted, I do think The Avengers is a better Super Hero movie simply because it also captured the essence of feeling like a cartoon.

It's my favorite batman movie.. there....I said it.

I liked that it was really different because I like to see what your take on the character is? I liked Tim Burton I liked Christopher Nolan....I didn't like Joel Schumacher although he did make other good movies....I liked The Batman......at the time going through the confusion of the world, the movie reflecting that sentiment is thought provoking.

it's perfect❤

Can somebody tell me why the movie was 3 hours long.

Wasn't feelin that Joker. But overall it was the best movie Batman interpretation yet.

whats with the ASMR voice bruh . Good Vid tho

If anyone says there's a better Batman movie they're only speaking from the nostalgia

genuinely a flawless film other than the awful joker scene

my top 3 solo superhero films 1. iron man 2. blade 3. the batman

This and Joker are comic book movies for adults.

It was good. Some phenomenal film making, but not a perfect Superhero film. The only perfect Superhero film so far is Spider-verse.

It was good. Perfect? Not at all.

Great video, but totally delusional. I do applaud your effort and you have a lot of talent obviously. But in the end, this was one of the worst batman movies I've ever seen. And I've watched the Batman movies from the 60's. Frankly I think Robert Pattison's acting is less than subpar. It was alright for preteen vampire stories I guess. But he is absolutely horrible in this role. I mean he isn't Val Kilmer bad (but Val who is an amazing actor just was completely wrong for the part). I'm glad that Pattison 's Batman will not be connected to the DCEU at all. And I understand why they are making a sequel Hollywood doesn't care about quality and the last movie did make a ton of money (though most people I talked to were extremely disappointed in the movie). But you know it's very hard to compare any other Batman to Christian Bale's batman who is really the only Batman you can compare Pattison to because the others were more campy and not as serious. Though I thought Michael Keaton was awesome for what the movies were at the time. But we all know that Kevin Conroy is the ULTIMATE BATMAN..... ;)

Oh here we go again, another wannebe @Hitop coming in with his hot take.

I feel people have forgotten the actual characteristics of Batman. Nice message and all but no version of Batman is this incompetent

I loved The Batman at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think this movie is overrated as fuck. It has a great sound design, great image, a great atmosphere and a great Penguin. Batman is cool also, but not the best ever. However those elements aren't enough to credit it as a perfect movie. It has many script problems and drags a lot. And to compare Robert Pattinson to Robert Downey Jr. in 2008 is a bad joke.
