Wait.....Doug was in The Batman?!?!?!??!?!??!?!? Follow us on Twitch www.twitch.tv/channelawesome
-
The film marks the first time since 1966's Batman: The Movie that the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Catwoman have all appeared in a live-action movie together.
-
Glad to see Doug talk about his iconic role as “Thug who got the sh!t kicked out of him by Batman”
-
"DON'T YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EL AND LA?!?!?!" had me dying laughing in the theater. The comedy is criminally underrated in this movie
-
I really like the twist that he inspired his villains. He realizes that his whole vengeance message is inspiring the wrong people and at the end he turns to inspire hope. A good character arc that make me excited to see the future of this character and Pattinson’s acting when he thought the riddler found out his identity was so good. He looked so scared that his identity was found out, and then you see his facial expression change so fast when he realizes riddler doesn’t know.
-
One of the things that made me laugh the most is that Gordon is constantly trying to establish some sort of human connection to Batman, he tries to make small talk or crack jokes or anything he possibly can to just have a normal interaction with the guy and Batman just stonewalls him the whole time, it’s great.
-
I love how The Riddler just keeps on yelling "No!" Like a 5 year old refusing to take a bath.
-
Fun fact: This isn't the first time Zoe Kravitz played Catwoman. She also did the voice of Catwoman in The Lego Batman Movie.
-
The twist the Riddler really had expected Batman to figure out his plot and downright disappointed he didn't is still great.
-
The best part of Pattison's performance was the look in his eyes. Eerie, haunting, tired, and intense
-
I love how this film subtly calls out Riddler for what he really is near the end. His campaign of terror has always been about "no more lies", when he himself is living a lie. When Batman tells him his delusion of them being a team is rightfully insane, he breaks down into a tantrum, rejecting the reality around him for the one that serves his ego the most. Underneath the guise of the chess master who can plan it all out, he's a dangerous child who never grew up.
-
Speaking of humor, I absolutely loved the moment where Falcone is telling Bruce that Thomas Wayne saving him had to mean something. Bruce’s deadpan response was classic: “That means he took the Hippocratic Oath.” 😂
-
When Batman led the people out the stadium literally carrying a torch, I remembered his quote, "I am the shadow", and I thought "And now he's become the light". Might be just my interpretation, but I felt that that symbolism was on purpose and I liked it, because it was shown, not told.
-
The cinematography and visuals are great. The opening and closing monologues really represents the first few years of Batman's career.
-
Word of God: According to Matt Reeves, the appearance of Barry Keoghan as the Joker was not meant to set up the villain of a future movie, but instead to convey that after being active for two years, Batman already has a history and a growing Rogues Gallery. In a Deleted Scene early in the film, Batman sneaks into Arkham to get Joker's take on the Riddler murders.
-
My biggest problem with this movie is that I realized I had to pee about halfway through but kept thinking 'hey, it's gotta be almost over by now'.
-
What I loved about Pattinson's performance is how haunted and somber he looked as Batman. It's exactly how I would imagine someone like Batman to look.
-
I love how Pattinson whispers all his lines and only shouts like 2 of them. The portrayal of Bruce Wayne really worked with this film due to its dark setting and creepy imagery. Can’t wait for the sequel to come out!
-
Speaking of the specific humor in this movie, I love the brief running gag of Catwoman having the shit scared out of her, whenever Batman sneaks up on her.
-
To me, Batman’s lack of emotion in the “leaning over to look at Penguin” scene is way, way , way , scarier than if he was pissed. And I think so for the same reason I think those big, thunking footsteps when he’s walking , not running ,are scarier than if he just jumped on you from behind— this version of Batman isn’t afraid of you getting away. You can run, if you’ve got the energy. But he’ll get you. And it will hurt until he does.
