Movie: The Batman (Battinson)

[Ms Harmless]

For some reason I thought this was rated R. That's really disappointing.

it's 15 in the UK, same as plenty of horror movies; I think it'll be fine as long as it strikes the right moods

[lennytheweedwhacker]

It's long, but well paced. There is only one scene I would snip out to make it shorter, and it's the one everyone else is complaining about

The dance scene?

[Jorge]

Yes, the musical number came out of nowhere

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Well, I don't know if I'd call it a musical number.

[wease]

The oldest Weaseling saw it tonight and loved it.

[The Argonaut]

What is it about superhero movies that if I think they are even barely good or mildly interesting, I immediately want to go back and watch them again? I thought this one was OK, it was good, alright, fine. Why do I already feel the need to go watch it again? What is wrong with me?

[Got Some]

I liked it. 8-8.5/10

Dano is brilliant smashes it out the park. Bill gates/young James Spader looking psycho.
Pattinson was good as Batman but made Bruce Wayne look like a skinny emo kid.
Kravitz was excellent
I Loved Penguin He was great and looked so menacing.

Cool story it kind of had a “seven“ feel to it.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Yeah I thought about Seven as well.

My son wanted me to explain the rat contraption.

What's the deal there? There are rats trapped in a box with the guy's face? Then when they get hungry they eat his face?

If that would even work, it would take months to kill the guy, wouldn't it?

[BurtReynolds]

I think he also injected him with arsenic? I don't know it was vague.

[BurtReynolds]

The Riddler is clearly the hero in this right?

Does he turn Catwoman straight?

Kinda

[lennytheweedwhacker]

There are so many terrible human beings in this!

[BurtReynolds]

There are so many terrible human beings in this!

We're all just trying to make our way in the world, man, damn.

You would say such!

[BurtReynolds]

The last action scene is so tacked on.

It's like they made a 2.5 hour movie and then realized a.) they had no big dumb action set piece, and b.) they basically made a movie about a heroic Alex Jones acolyte taking on the corrupt system and winning.

So they add a saintly black female mayor (who definitely won't turn out like Lori Lightfoot or Catherine Pugh) and an attack by some incels, naturally stopped by a good-guy white lib institution defender. The righteousness of the ruling regime is restored!

Rank the Batman films

[Jorge]

Tacked on or no, it’s fun as hell and that flare gun sequence is beautiful

[JuanHamm]

Does Batman actually beat up a bunch of incels in this movie? That would be pretty cool.
