Peter Debruge

Feb 28, 2022

This grounded, frequently brutal and nearly three-hour film noir registers among the best of the genre, even if — or more aptly, because — what makes the film so great is its willingness to dismantle and interrogate the very concept of superheroes. Read full review

Pattinson and Kravitz bring real heat to their scenes together—there’s a great moment where he holds her against his chest as they’re hiding from a pursuer and their breathing slowly, erotically falls into rhythm. Even at three hours, the movie could use more of her. Read full review

Christopher Machell

The film is strongest in its first half but the double act between Wright and Pattinson sustains throughout: never has the Bat-Gordon partnership been so well-realised. Inevitably the door is left open for sequels, but The Batman stands up as an incredibly satisfying, grown-up vision of its own. Read full review

It’s too long, and maybe there’s a little too much concern about the way Pattinson’s hair flops over one eye. But from first frame to last, Reeves matches the master, Christopher Nolan in two important regards. As in the last Nolan “Dark Knight,” this Batman is embattled and almost overwhelmed by a city and its institutions coming apart at the seams. And like Nolan’s “Knights,” this beast of a movie looks, sounds and plays as epic. Read full review

Feb 28, 2022

There’s real filmmaking here in The Batman. Matt Reeves, the director and co-writer, has a serious interest in the tantalizing Batman/Catwoman dynamic. His script, in collaboration with co-writer Peter Craig, parcels out the action sequences carefully, and when they arrive, they’re both visually lucid and excitingly reckless. Read full review

Jacob Oller

Feb 28, 2022

The Batman is ambitious and dedicated to its vision, but despite some rather obvious clues, it can’t crack how to make the World’s Greatest Detective seem like one at all. Rather, we just have another passable Batman, not different enough to outrun his legacy’s ever-growing shadow. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Feb 28, 2022

Nothing that works here adds up to anything worth a long slog in a movie theater, watching Pattinson punching guys and knocking guns out of their hands. From start to finish, The Batman is mostly just a collection of bad ideas. Read full review

Definitely the best Batman movie since the dark Knight. I would not say that surpasses the dark Knight but it definitely could be debated. It is the darkest version of Batman which is excellent.

The Batman es una espectacularidad y una gloria por dondequiera que se le mire, es intensa, cruda y explosiva, definitivamente Robert Pattinson llegó a cerrarle la boca a sus detractores, no tiene comparación alguna y su interpretación como el vigilante es auténtica y creíble. Un aspecto queThe Batman es una espectacularidad y una gloria por dondequiera que se le mire, es intensa, cruda y explosiva, definitivamente Robert Pattinson llegó a cerrarle la boca a sus detractores, no tiene comparación alguna y su interpretación como el vigilante es auténtica y creíble. Un aspecto que me pareció increíble aparte de toda la película fue que sigue un patrón muy similar a los siete pecados capitales quedando impecable, la ambientación de Ciudad Gótica luce menos decadente y fría que en otras adaptaciones y Zoë Kravitz desempeña bien su personaje de Selina Kyle sin necesidad de compararse con versiones previas del personaje.

No hay escenas post créditos, así que no necesitan quedarse a ver toda la rola de créditos finales.… Expand

It starts out slow. But once it gets going, it's an intense ride from beginning to end. My only real issue is the sound mixing. I can't stand it when the talking scenes are set to whisper volume.

Although engaging by the end it is a long and boring slog to get there. I almost fell asleep during the first half of the movie just because I honestly didn't care about emo batman or the murders by weirdo riddler.
