| Hey, loved "The Batman!" probably my second-favorite of the live-action Batman movies.
I really like how Batman goes through an actual character growth arc, unlike all the other movies where it's all about his wonderful toys and where he gets them. [spoiler]At the start he's basically Rorschach with a trust fund, by the end he's starting down the road toward being the more compassionate Batman of the Animated Series.[/spoiler] To people drawing similarities between this and the Nolan movies, I say this is what the Nolan movies would have been like with an actually decent script and none of that terrible quick-cut editing. Heath Ledger's performance is the only thing Nolan has over this. Also holy shit Zoe Kravitz is better than the horribly-miscast Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. But then HBO Max suggested I might want to finally see Mask of the Phantasm after all these years, and subsequently all my enthusiasm for "The Batman" melted away. Phantasm is so much better as a character study, an action movie, a comic book adaptation, everything! The original Christopher Reeves Superman is about the only other superhero movie I've seen that fully embraces its comic book world without betraying the studio's disdain for the genre with excessive Marvel snark, or overcompensating Snyderverse edginess. [spoiler]I saw the twist coming a mile away, but the experience didn't suffer for it.[/spoiler] |
