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— Lando (@orlandoenelcine) February 28, 2022 ## #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.— Dre. (@Aboutdre3) February 28, 2022 ## #TheBatman is the greatest CBM ever made with the greatest Batman performance ever by Robert PattinsonGreat performances all around. Especially Riddler & the Cat.
