The Batman Review - The Mother Of All Superhero Movies
The difficulty with superheroes is that, beneath the accessories and costumes, they are all flawed guys who have been traumatised by their past and are still trying to make amends before answering the call of duty. You know Batman's backstory and the anguish and suffering he went through as a child. Even now, he has the scars of loss and pain, hidden beneath his black suit. In The Batman, Reeves goes all out to examine this aspect of Batman, which is frequently used as an undercurrent or a side storyline to create a frame of comparison.
The movie begins with Franz Schubert's Ave Maria sounds playing in the background, but what follows is nothing at all like the heavenly and calming voice of that heavenly hymn to Mother Mary. Gotham is in shambles, and there's a nefarious link between the crime syndicate and those tasked with keeping the city safe. They intend to do something heinous and heinous to the city. Men in authority are at the heart of this, and these individuals have their own ambitions and games to perform with Batman.
The Batman is significantly better on many aspects - the batmobile appears to be revved up; this isn't a slick, gleaming vehicle, but one that means business. The elaborate artistry on his chest and shoulders, as well as the lengths of his cape, all contribute to the on-screen enchantment. Catwoman, played by Zoe Kravitz, is absolutely lovely. There's so much energy here, not just in the way she moves in that suit, but also in the way her eyes light up every time she locks them with Batman! Batman has a screen length of almost three hours, and a lot of effort is taken into crafting a suspenseful, compelling plot that feels like Zodiac movie, not just in the action sequences and CGI.
Overall, The Baddest Superhero movie you shouldn't miss and if possible watch it on IMAX
