Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films The Batman was a interesting movie if you like the Dark and Gritty side of Batman you will definitely want to watch this reboot, I wasn't sure if Robert Pattinson was going to be a good Batman but he is and the story was good too. The visual effects of the film was great Gotham City looks so good and I thought the design of The Batsuit and The Batmobile looks really good. Having The Riddler as the main villain was the right choice because this gives us Detective Batman and watching him try to figure out the riddles and tracking down The Riddler shows us that Bruce Wayne is still new at being The Caped Crusader of Gotham. I don't have much to say about Alfred but I thought the interaction that Alfred and Bruce had was okay.
I really like that we have a black Jim Gordon the partnership between Jim and Bruce was good. They had some funny moments in the film and I hope we will see more character development of Jim in future films. The Fight scenes was amazing and the car chase scene between Batman and Penguin was so good I still can't believe that was Colin Farrell as Penguin. I like that we got a little bit of The Penguin story in the film which is good because with Penguin getting his own HBO Max Series we can get more of his story and see him become the kingpin of Gotham.
Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle is the best one we had in a Batman film, her story was okay but I didn't really care about Carmine Falcone being her farther but I did like the interaction between Selina and Bruce. Her fight scenes was really good and the costume design looks good too but I did not like the mask. Carmine Falcone was a okay villain he play an important role in the film but he was just not that interested to me.
Paul Dano as The Riddler was really good he was creepy and creative but the way he kills his targets was crazy and his backstory was really good too. The reason that Riddler wanted to bring down some of Gotham mob bosses, GCPD officers and city officials is because they were corrupt and he had a grudge against The Wayne Family because they did nothing for the orphanage that he grew up in. The Riddler also reveal that Thomas Wayne had Falcone murder a journalist that was going to expose Martha Wayne history of mental illness. Bruce and The GCPD was able to catch Riddler and put him in Arkham Asylum and the interaction between Bruce and Riddler was so good. Seeing Riddler flood Gotham is interesting and the final fight scene was great. The ending of the movie has me thinking about how they are going to set up the sequels and I hope we will see Hush or Joker as the next main villain.
This is the type of storytelling that I always wanna in a DC film and this is the best Batman film that DC has made. I would recommend to go watch it and I will give it a 9/10.
