Where to Watch The Batman
- Alexis CeballosOctober 22, 2026I fucking loved it.
- borhan9October 7, 2026So I got a new TV the other day, and I thought, why not watch Batman with Robert Pattinson for the first time? Did everyone know that it was a near 3 hour epic. I was ready for it to breakout in Bollywood Dancing!!! This movie took its time and went into great back story and actually gave you an understanding of all the characterts in the Gotham Universe. To me it feels like DC are trying to build the universe again via the Batman side of things last time it was Superman and now its Batman or should I say The Batman. For me its just hard to see Edward Cullen as a Bat and not a Vampire. I guess its every boys dream to dress as Batman and become a supoerhero i know i did when i was a kid. Zoe Kravitz was Catwoman with a twist and you get to understand more about her backstory and understand why she has a bit of shades of grey. I wonder if we are getting a second part to this film? I just felt that Batman was a tad younger in this version, and so were the other characters in the other versions of Batman; he was an adult not a younger adult. Although rated PG 13 it was a lot darker and not suitable for the kids I felt. This had a graphic novel feel to it and an adult graphic novel feel to it. The gloomy feel to it makes me feel like they want to make like a Christopher Nolan saga over many parts but if its 3 hours long each this is going to be lord ocf the Rings epic level but for me I want to see where the second part goes. This is definitely a movie series I would keep in my library but I prefer Michael Keaton as my Batman and the Chris Nolan version of the Batman series. I give it a 8 but i did say dont like on Netflix. I feel it's not suitable for kids If you guys play the new LEGO Batman the game is based on this movie and the Nolan series. What I would love it to listen to the commentary on the Blu-ray

- TheMovieWallSeptember 8, 2026It's good! I have found myself coming back to this for multiple watches now. The strong points in my opinion are Robert Pattinson does a great job as a younger Batman. While he is nowhere near as jacked as I want to see a young batman (please lets just CGI some more muscles on at this point). With how obsessive Bruce Wayne is you know he would be obsessive over his physique and conditioning. As well as his mastery of martial arts. We want to see that! Pattinson gets the attitude and vibe right. Cat Woman was ok. Gordon was Ok. Alfred, Carmine, and The Riddler were all ok. Penguin was amazing. Those practical effects were crazy. I enjoyed the dark and moody Gotham. I found myself wanting to pause the movie on many scenes because I wanted to take in the background. I also really enjoyed the Batman tech. By that I mean his suit, "weapons", and his lair. Everything was more toned down and a little more realistic for this movie. That is a good thing in my opinion. Makes him and his situation feel more real. That said we still have the very non real things going on which is expected for a Batman. I slightly cringed, but then was impressed, then laughed when he glided off the building just to smack his head on an underpass and eat shit. Walks it off. lol. His car was super cool. It's on my movie wall for now. I hope we keep going in this direction for Batman. I like more dark and gritty. They should lean in to what the audience wants. I don't think we want lame goofy over the top super hero movies anymore. The audience that enjoys this stuff are adults now and we want rated R Batman!
- Spider-ThanAugust 20, 2026THE perfect Batman movie.
- AngusMcNutzFebruary 21, 2025Without letting the Batman-obsessed nerd in me spiral here, I adore everything about this movie. Exactly the tone, aesthetic and grit that I would want and that, I hope, continues into the sequel. Felt like a genuine attempt to capture the gloom and starkness of the original animated series while maintaining an insane level of brutality that isn’t too far and fits where it needs to. Pleasantly surprised with how well the entire cast sort of falls into their respective characters while keeping things fresh. Can’t wait for more.
- Popcorn245August 19, 2026I'm a huge bat-fan and while I was excited to see Battinson, it really just fell flat for me. They spun Bruce's story as trust fund billionaire that is almost embarrassed of his family name and it makes him come across as whiney and unbearable. His acting as Bruce is also incredibly flat and lifeless, but in the bat suit he's super expressive and has more personality. There is a ton of great acting but I can't help but not really feel any of the stakes of this movie. It felt like trying to throw Batman in a saw reboot more than it felt like a genuine elseworld take on the character. Penguin was great but pointless and I don't really care to see him crime bossing. Just a messy movie in my opinion, but the fight scenes were fucking badass, wish I cared about the outcomes. Hoping for better take from Gunn but not holding my breath with his goofy Ah style.
- michael.r10June 30, 2026Seen for the third time and its themes are even more interesting and compelling today than when the film was released.
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025Matt Reeves has delivered what feels like a quintessential Batman film. The noir detective story feels extremely reminiscent of David Fincher’s Se7en. Zoë Kravitz kills as Selina Kyle, possibly my favorite performance in the film. The baddies, were fantastic. John Tuturro, Paul Dano, Colin Farrell all seemed pitch perfect. Paul Dano even gets a song credit for his vocal performance of Ave María. Andy Serkis and Jeffrey Wright also seemed absolutely perfect for their roles. While I thought Pattinson made for a great Batman, there didn’t seem much difference between his Bruce Wayne. To be fair, there is very little Bruce Wayne in this film, so I’m probably just nitpicking. The car chase is one of the best I’ve seen and the fight scenes are punishing. On the flip side, this film is too long. It never really drags, it just doesn’t feel like it truly earned the long runtime. There are a few minor missteps as well. Without getting too specific, there’s a moment where Batman is told something by someone who should be untrustworthy, and he appears to take that persons word at face value. The very next scene he finds out that it was indeed false. Felt like a needless detour that diminished Batman’s acuity and unnecessarily padded the runtime. Last nitpick is that there’s some people that get involved in the final skirmish, that I just didn’t really buy their motivations, or at least it didn’t feel fleshed out very well. Essentially, they were there solely to be fodder for the action set piece. Please consider these critiques to be only very minor nitpicks. Honestly, this film delivered very nearly exactly what I wanted out of a Batman film. I am so down for the inevitable sequels that Matt Reeves has in store and they can’t come fast enough. Edit: I somehow failed to mention that the cinematography and score are superb as well. Bonus points for featuring a Nirvana song actually performed by Nirvana and not a down tempo cover with pop vocals.
