“The Batman” is the first Caped Crusader adventure in a while to come off as completely purposeless. His final monologue is grossly overplayed, as though he thinks it’s his own “or else it gets the hose again” speech from “The Silence of the Lambs.” It’s annoying. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett CĪs for Dano, ever since Heath Ledger won an Oscar for playing the Joker in “The Dark Knight,” every actor treats Batman villains like they’re King Freakin’ Lear.

Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) and Batman (Robert Pattinson). He doesn’t act conflicted, determined or scared - he just seems bored. Normally, he’s an electric, funny and unpredictable actor - but that’s the opposite of Batman, who hides by necessity. With not much to sink his fangs into, Pattinson is wasted here. Batman holding a flare toward the end of the film, and a fiery highway chase and a fight by strobe light all make for thrilling imagery.

Batman, in full winged regalia, goes to their dull nightclub over and over again. Too much screen time is given to Sal Maroni and Carmine Falcone, basic Mafiosos. They quietly trudge through a banal story that, other than the Riddler (Paul Dano), is a stage for some of Batman’s more boring adversaries.

“Come again?,” you want to repeatedly shout at these aspiring librarians. The Riddler, Batman, Catwoman, Gordon, Alfred and pretty much everybody else whisper through the entire movie. Going the old-school mystery route makes the viewer tune out, and our attention spans are tried even more by the acting. Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle in “The Batman.” ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett C

There’s a series of escalating killings by a mystery assailant known as the Riddler, who uses such unsavory murder weapons as rats, a carpet-tucking tool, bombs and more, leaving a clue on every corpse. Then “The Batman,” for better or worse, begins to resemble the “Saw” films. Kravitz is taking a catnap Michelle Pfeiffer was way more fun. She wants Batman to help protect her friend, an escort who was having an affair with the mayor. What unfolds is a slowly paced detective noir, with Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) - a k a Catwoman - acting as the not-so-helpless damsel. There’s a letter on the body: “To the Batman.” Inside it - a riddle. He still works alongside Alfred (Andy Serkis, making no impression) and Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), who brings Batman to the crime scene of Gotham’s brutally murdered mayor. Robert Pattinson is the latest actor to play Bruce Wayne, a k a Batman. That’s good, because even with a pointy mask and a cape, there’s no mistaking Rob’s “Twilight” jawline. Whereas previous iterations hid their crimefighting alter ego by being charming, tuxedo-clad socialites at parties, Pattinson’s billionaire Bruce is a brooding recluse who stays home all the time and whom many residents haven’t seen since he was a little boy. Holy runtime!īruce Wayne has been millennialized. Not to mention the nearly three-hour length. There’s an unshakable feeling here of “What’s the point?”

Director Matt Reeves’ downer movie embraces the realism of “ The Dark Knight” - the opposite of Tim Burton’s purple-hazed funhouse - only without the payoff of excellent writing and acting. In the latest perfunctory film, “The Batman,” Gotham is bleaker than ever. Rated PG-13 (strong violent and disturbing content, drug content, strong language and some suggestive material). I'd come with this pad full of notes.Running time: 175 minutes. After Reeves finished the script 8 months later, he finally met with Pattinson, who still didn't know that Reeves wrote the role with him in mind: 'I had to kind of try to imagine what he'd written, and I hadn't even read the script. And then he starts kind of saying, 'So what's going on with Batman?''. Clark: 'We're talking about 20 different things. Around that time in 2018, Pattinson and The Batman producer Dylan Clark had a general meeting about potential collaborations, with no specific project in mind. But Reeves didn't know that at the same time, Pattinson became fixated on the role of Batman without even knowing the status of the project. I thought what if Rob doesn't want to play Batman? This would be a disaster'.

There's this part of me that so saw Rob as that & I had no idea that he would be interested in playing the role at all. I think of Bruce Wayne as this recluse rockstar in a decaying manor. Pattinson was Reeves top choice because he was 'always that version of what I saw in the page. After watching Pattinson's performance in Гарні часи (2017) and becoming captivated by him, Reeves started to imagine Pattinson in the role at a certain point as he was writing. Director Matt Reeves wrote the script with Robert Pattinson in mind, not even knowing if he would ever want to be in the movie.
