Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman' Early Reactions Are Out
Mumbai, February 28 - The wait for Batman fans ends here as Warner Bros.' "The Batman", starring Robert Pattinson as Caped Crusader, is readying for March 3rd worldwide release. Touted to be the darkest in the franchise, the DC Comics movie has been one of the most-anticipated movies worldwide.
Directed by Matt Reeves, "The Batman" has had its world premiere on Monday. As expected, the superhero movie, which is more touted to be a detective story, is getting blockbuster reception from Hollywood critics. The reboot of the Batman film franchise is currently rated 91% from 116 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in his second year of fighting crime, the film sees Batman uncover corruption in Gotham City while pursuing the Riddler (Dano), a serial killer who targets Gotham's elite. It stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman alongside Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell.
Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz make a terrific duo & Colin Farrell steals every scene he’s in. A truly GREAT Penguin. But for me it was all about the narrative. The story here is rich, complex & layered in ways that will have you thinking about #TheBatman long after watching pic.twitter.com/GpLBOYOfnJ

#TheBatman is a ridiculous, bold, brilliant event, absolutely jam-packed with style & a surprising sense of humor. It’s like nothing else in this space, and that has only made me love it more with each passing moment. I’m obsessed. pic.twitter.com/TPdCSeX5JT

I never thought I would see a Batman movie like #TheBatman: an actual detective story, methodically paced, dripping with atmosphere, modestly stylish. And it's sort of incredible to look at. @GreigFraser_dp and @mattreevesLA have crafted an aesthetic at once evocative and unique. pic.twitter.com/xSAPUDZrQF

#TheBatman starts out intensely, letting you know it’s pushing as close to an R-rating that it can while maintaining a PG-13.

Matt Reeves sets the tone early to say this one is gonna be gritty, intense, and sometimes scary with true horror elements injected - which is cool. pic.twitter.com/fQg9J16hpV
absolutely **loved** @mattreevesLA #TheBatman. Reeves has crafted an amazing film that happens to star Batman. The filmmaking on display from all departments is brilliant. @GreigFraser_dp cinematographer + @m_giacchino score + James Chinlund’s production design is superb. pic.twitter.com/jcS2mAiATA

Matt Reeves #TheBatman FINALLY gives us the most comic accurate portrayal of the DARK KNIGHT DETECTIVE in film. The movie to me is an homage to the great Batman writers like Denny O'Neil, Frank Miller, and Jeph Loeb. Pattinson did the homework and delivered. #TheBatmanMovie pic.twitter.com/rLCzPG5OYK

It uses those rare pauses and moments of relief in life to their fullest potential.

This is an incomparable piece of work that exists in its own bubble. A bubble gently floating through the air ready to pop but living in complete tranquility while it still can.
#TheBatman is a dark crime noir that floors you from start to finish. This isn’t just one of the most Unique comic book movies to date…. It is easily the BEST Batman Adaptation YET & Yes Robert Pattinson is everything the trailers have promised you & more. He is INCREDIBLE pic.twitter.com/GgeSTqS7B9

#TheBatman is an engrossing crime thriller with grounded characters and pitch-perfect performances by the entire crew. Its lengthy runtime is filled with methodical storytelling that mixes several iterations of the source material. Action is great, but not the focus. pic.twitter.com/3aTgxGcC8q

#TheBatman is a dark and thrilling ride through Gotham City, and can't stop thinking about Paul Dano's performance. Greig Fraser shines with that stunning cinematography in #TheBatman. His work here is breathtaking. Michael Giacchino has delivered his finest score to date. pic.twitter.com/pMnRkpa5gI

#TheBatman is fantastic! A three hour story that feels focused on the caped crusader, instead of his villains, which are still very present here! Pattinson kills it as a tormented Bruce Wayne. Tone overall reminded me of films like Zodiac and Se7en. Some choices might upset fans. pic.twitter.com/tvdQeEEdE8

#TheBatman is nothing short of a cinema masterpiece. From that terrifying opening to the emotional moments between Batman and Selina. This was the least comic book movie ever (structurally) but carries the most “Batmanism†film fans ever wanted.

#TheBatman is the greatest CBM ever made with the greatest Batman performance ever by Robert Pattinson

Great performances all around. Especially Riddler & the Cat. Scored & written to perfection with elite cinematography & world building
An absolute masterpiece by @mattreevesLA pic.twitter.com/V61P7I468E
One major standout was the relationship between Robert Pattinson's Batman & Jeffrey Wright's Commissioner Gordon. It's my favorite on screen pairing of them both. In the end they trust eachother the most and its so rewarding to watch. pic.twitter.com/piA7ZWwlLh
