Review of The Batman (2022) by Vicferrari — 04 Mar 2022
The Batman is an empty, dreary slog. Pattison's performance is one note as both Bats and Wayne. Batman (in his 2nd year) has to be schooled by the Riddler that crime exists outside of street level thugs - when he follows the clues the corrupt are so obvious - some detective.
Superficial attempts at realism fall flat - the more you try to take 2-dimensional characters seriously, the sillier they seem. Standard modern representation (white lead, supporting characters of colour) yet in a 3 hour runtime it fails to pass the Bechdel test.
Contrived, tedious, dumb.
