"The Batman" is an unexpected masterpiece

I’ll get right to the point. “The Batman” is hands-down the best film about the character that has been made so far. Yes, as a die-hard fan of the Christopher Nolan films, it is difficult for me to write this. But director Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park, the city, and the entire state when he made this movie.

I'm watching this tomorrow. They are even saying it's better than the Dark Knight, which to critics is the greatest movie adaptation of a comic book ever made.

Do let me know if it lives up to the hype,. I’ve heard it is quite a leftist piece of work and have no interest in seeing it if it’s just leftist propaganda.

None of the Batman movies had leftist propaganda. In fact, the very essence of Batman itself is that of a conservative-libertarian icon. This is worth the 20 bucks alone to go to the theaters, for me. This movie has gotten tons of good reviews and they’re saying it’s the best one ever made, or at least #2 after the Dark Knight.

I hope that is the case.
However, liberals just can’t help themselves.

Catwoman makes a white privilege reference at one point, I’ve heard. AFIAK, that’s the only thing woke in the movie and I think it’s just a throwaway line.

I think it was Ayn Rand who said that most American males never really grow up. She said it came from a youthful and unhealthy fixation on comic books.

I’m not huge on superhero movies, but this one does intrigue me. The younger, more hotheaded, and less experienced Batman sounds like a fun thing to explore.

Seen it. It’s a little long a little slow. Good action but takes a couple of shots and mean white guys. Very atmospheric, mood and dark. I’m a HUGE Batman fan and I loved the dark knight films.

In her day, comics were one-off adventure stories that told silly stories. Now, comics are written at a literary level that is more Robinson Crusoe or Gulliver’s Travels.

Would she have said the same thing about Robinson Crusoe?

Are white guys always the bad guys in the Batman movies?🙄

Will people still not have the foggiest idea that Bruce Wayne is Batman? And will it still be hard for everybody to figure out where the batcave is? lol

I’m sorry, but Robert Pattinson in the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman was and still is a bad casting choice.

Family Guy had a great parody. A full episode could have been decent.
