The plot: Batman ventures into Gotham City’s underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans become clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.
I was really excited for this film
The Batman was awesome.
Pros: The atmosphere of Gotham in this film feels gorgeous & stylish. Everyone did an A+ Job with their performances. This version of the Riddler did work well for the direction of this film. I like how it showed Batman brought fear to his enemies & I didn’t have any issue when it came to the Run Time of this film.
Cons: I was disappointed that Ben Affleck’s solo Batman film didn’t get made for the cinema.
The Casts:
- Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman:
A billionaire socialite who protects Gotham City as a masked vigilante. Batman is around 30 years old and is not yet an experienced crime fighter, - Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman:
A nightclub worker and cat burglar who meets Batman while searching for her missing friend. - Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / Riddler:
A serial killer who taunts Batman and law enforcement with riddles. Reeves based The Batman‘s Riddler on the Zodiac Killer, who he felt was the “real-life” Riddler for his practice of communicating with ciphers and riddles. - Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon:
An ally of Batman in the Gotham City Police Department. - John Turturro as Carmine Falcone: A Gotham City crime lord.
- Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson: Gotham’s district attorney.
- Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth: Batman’s butler and mentor.
- Colin Farrell as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot / Penguin:
A disfigured, rising crime lord. Cobblepot is not yet the crime kingpin he is depicted as in the comics, and dislikes being referred to as the Penguin.
I recommend watching this film to those who Loves Batman.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
