Review of The Batman (2022) by Snowadian — 11 Mar 2022
Not a great movie. Crow and Seven were far superior and the very obvious inspiration for this version of Batman. The love is for the dark atmosphere and sullen Bruce Wayne, which was okay but needed an R rating to be effective.
Riddler was no where near as intelligent as the writers wanted him to be. His garbage bag uniform was poorly constructed and his character was totally undone in the third act. The penguin was an awful villain and only played a small role in what was an excellent car chase scene.
Zoe was one of the best Cat Woman I've seen, she did a great job. Music was good, I enjoyed Batman's theme. Batman mingling with cops and the public upset me, it was such a detour of who his character is.
As always these days, atmosphere and cool shots seem more important to directors than actual story. I have no interest in seeing a sequel. For sure this movie benefited from a long Covid lock down, people's excitement to get back to the movies overflowed into their general senses.
Okay movie - not the Batman I'm looking for.
