This is a spoiler version of the 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: Batman review, which I normally keep everything on the podcast 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: completely spoiler free, so I don't ruin anything for anyone, 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: but with a big movie, I always like to get 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: into all the details and talk spoilers, so this is 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: only if you've seen The Batman. If you haven't yet, 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: well click off of this and don't come at me 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: because I'm going to talk about a lot of spoilers, 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: So this is your last chance to get out of here, 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: all right, now that we're all here. I also like 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: doing these reviews because I'm a little bit more kind 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: of open with everything because I don't have to worry 14 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: about saying anything wrong or giving away any endings. But 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: we're going to get into all that here now. I 16 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: wanted to start with why I didn't rate The Batman 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: higher and the flaws that I found with it that 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't mention in the you know, spoiler free version, 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: and I hate to start at the end, but I 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: didn't love the hint an introduction of the Joker. I 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: kind of feel like, now that's a character you can't 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: really touch one because Heath Ledger has already played him 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: so well in the Dark Night, but too because I 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: loved Joaquin Phoenix as a Joker and him in that 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: role is just what I want to see now, and 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: seeing a third or I guess this would be a 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: fourth version because of Jared Leto, I wasn't into it. 28 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: I felt like that took a little bit out of 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: the movie at the end for me, so seeing them 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: hint at that, and I don't know exactly what's going 31 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: to get into the sequel to this, which they're saying that, 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the Riddler and the Joker breakout of 33 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Arkham and that's the next movie. But that's what kind 34 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: of took a little bit away from me, as I 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: didn't love the Joker in it. And the other thing 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: that was a little bit weird for me watching this 37 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: movie is I know it had to be greedier and 38 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: completely separate itself from The Dark Knight because if it didn't, 39 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: people would just say it ripped that off and it 40 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: wasn't unique enough. And with it being now that grittier, 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: darker version, there was something that lacked a little bit 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: in the fight scenes that happened, you know, in Gotham 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: that made me realize I was watching a movie and 44 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just a personal thing, 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: but when I saw Batman fighting some of the thugs, 46 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: I just felt for the first time that I was 47 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: watching some dude in the costume being a vigilante and 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: saw like how that would really play out in the 49 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: real world. And it felt a little bit of a 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: dumb idea to me that it took me a little 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: bit out of the idea of Batman just being the 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: super rich guy that did all these cool, amazing things 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: and had all these gadgets, that just Batman being this 54 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: dude that went out and played dress up, and I 55 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: had that, you know, thought, for just a little bit 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: of the movie that a little bit took me out of, 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: you know, it being how I described it, being a masterpiece. 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: So those are the two things that I didn't like. 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: And again, I was going to rank this movie and 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: be a lot harsher on it because I was expecting 61 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: it to be that good. But now that I got 62 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: what I didn't like out of the way, let's get 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: into what I loved. And I think it was the 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: fact that Robert Pattinson was so different as the Batman 65 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: in a way that I wasn't expecting. I didn't really 66 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: ever think of Batman being this really weird outcast before 67 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: and having that idea really play out and done so 68 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: well here, it just gives it a whole different feeling. 69 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: It's like the movie I've been wanting to see and 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: didn't know how it would get delivered. And with his 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: true detective skills coming out in this movie, it just 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: made it so fun to watch. And the Riddler's entire 73 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: diabolical planning, this was so almost chilling and real like, 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: resembled real life so much that at times it was 75 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: a little bit scary, Like I don't think this movie 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: is for everybody, because it gets a little bit so 77 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: realistic that it makes you feel like in today's world, 78 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: like it's a little bit dark. And that kind of 79 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: comes back to in this movie how the Wayne family 80 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: is actually flawed, and a point they get into is 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: the whole story behind how his parents died was actually 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: they were trying to cover up something, But then you 83 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: find out on a much bigger scale they were actually 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: trying to at the core do good. But in Riddler, 85 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: trying to expose all these people and gotha them and 86 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: show them for you know, the awful people, awful things 87 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: they've done. They go after Bruce Wayne, and they go 88 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: after Batman and him revealing all these things about people 89 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 1: after he kills them, just a it's like this other 90 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: big layer. It's like, oh man, this is a really 91 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: intense villain, and it doesn't feel like you're watching just 92 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: a normal comic book villain. This could be a real 93 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: guy who's like sitting behind a computer and finding out 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: all these things. He just feels like this hacker persona, 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: which I know they based it a lot on the 96 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: Zodiac Killer, but putting it in you know what would 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, as it just felt so realistic of like, man, 98 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: this could actually happen. And yeah, just having that feeling 99 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: and that idea of Bruce Wayne and his family, you know, 100 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: having a dark past was something we hadn't seen before. 101 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: And for some people it feels a little bit like, 102 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: oh man, this is this is Bruce Wayne, this is Batman. 103 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: But it makes the ending that much more heroic. Before 104 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: I get into more talking about the ending, I really 105 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: even though it I didn't get taken out a little 106 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: bit from some of the fight scenes because of that reason, 107 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: My favorite part A couple of my favorite parts. One 108 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: was the chase scene between Batman and Penguin. One of 109 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the greatest chasings I've ever seen, and it created this 110 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: emotion of you really wanting to see Batman just pummel somebody. 111 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: And what I think really great superhero movies do is 112 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: they give you that, you know, that feeling of wanting 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: them to take down the villain at different parts in 114 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: the movie and not quite getting there, getting a little 115 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: bit closer, but not quite getting there, and then when 116 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: they actually do get the villain, it's so gratifying, and 117 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: I think I really felt that in this chase scene. 118 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: I kind of hoped that the Penguin would have had 119 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: a bigger role throughout this entire movie. I thought he 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be a little bit more of the as 121 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: the main villain, but the Riddler totally still the show here. 122 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Although I think what I do kind of see coming, 123 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: especially going into the sequel of this is the Penguin 124 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: growing strong, younger and stronger, and then becoming more of 125 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: a force. You'd see a little bit more of, just 126 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: like his introductory stages here. Feel a great villain. But 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I think what really set this movie apart was the 128 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: ending when they finally capture the Riddler in kind of 129 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: anti climatic way of his actual arrest, but the whole 130 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: thing leading up to them, all the details of the 131 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: way that the Riddler played Batman got him to do 132 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: exactly what he wanted to do, landed him in prison, 133 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: but it was such a mind game. And that scene 134 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: at the asylum where the Riddler is in jail, Robert 135 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Pattinson as Batman is there, you know, interrogating him. That 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: was my other favorite scene when the Riddler tells Batman, 137 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: You're not as smart as I thought you were, which 138 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: was a part that was in the trailer, And going 139 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: back to the trailer, it was able to show these 140 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: little moments that you thought were going to be bigger things, 141 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: and the movie was a completely different story than I 142 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: was expecting. So I love that I didn't give that 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: away in the trailer, but with that line, it was 144 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: so chilling and such a turning point in the movie 145 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: to where you thought it was already over, it wasn't over. 146 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: And the fact that the Riddler was able to play 147 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: Batman was a truly great accomplishment and film. It was 148 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: such a great twist and I'm just sad that I 149 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: won't be able to experience that again and feel that 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: same way. That's why I think the beauty and what 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: would go against this Batman movie is once you've experienced 152 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: all these twists in turns, you know what's coming, it 153 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: may not make it that much of a rewatchrble movie, 154 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: which I'm starting to consider if I should really even 155 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: put into consideration with thinking how good a movie is. 156 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Some movies are only meant to be that exciting one time. 157 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: But I love that scene and what that scene sets 158 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: up is Batman truly saving the city of Gotham, which 159 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: we've seen time and time again the theme of every 160 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: Batman movie he tries to save the city. But here 161 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: you have this grittier and more fleshed out version of 162 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: Batman to where he now has a whole, entirely different 163 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: reason why he's fighting, why he's trying to do good. 164 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: He's trying to prove to people that the Wayne name 165 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: isn't disgraced while saving the people of Gotham at the 166 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: same time and proving that he isn't as bad as 167 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: a person or a bad person at all. That the 168 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: Driddlers trying to play him out to be, and that 169 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: scene when all the bombs in the vans start to 170 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: go off around Gotham City, the entire city starts to 171 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: get flooded and the Batman has to spring into action 172 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: was quite utterly amazing. And again it goes back to 173 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: it being so real and so life like that the 174 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: entire Riddler scheme was him recruiting people online to basically 175 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: set up this you know, slaughtering of people, getting them 176 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: all joined at one place and then essentially picking them off. 177 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: I felt that was pretty scary to portray in a movie, 178 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: especially in today's world. I felt a little bit scared 179 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: by that, and I like dark twist and stuff, but 180 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: even to me, I was like, I can't believe, like 181 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: this is the direction they're going. But the reason it 182 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: worked is because Batman was there to save the day, 183 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: and at this point in the movie, I loved seeing 184 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: him so broken down physically and mentally, and the moment 185 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: of satisfaction to where he was able to beat that 186 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: one guy to a bloody poll after you know, stabbing 187 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: himself and reviving himself was so gratifying to watch. And 188 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: that's the moment I love and superhero movies in any 189 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: movie where they are finally able to overcome everything and 190 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: have that big Hurrah moment. But the difference in this 191 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: movie then Marvel movies is in Marvel movies, that's a 192 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: lot more of like a cheering you know, you see 193 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: those reaction videos, everybody going crazy in the theater. This 194 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: was almost just the more internal like brought me joy, 195 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: but you're not, So it didn't feel like I was 196 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: watching a supporting event like I did when I watched 197 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: Spider Man you know, No Way Home. Like I I 198 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: yelled during No Way Home, I didn't feel the need 199 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: to yell during Batman because it just has a whole 200 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: different feeling to it. And I think Spider Man No 201 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: Way Home was very much playing onto fans like those 202 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Those movies just serve fans like me so well. But 203 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: what the Batman did was serve any level of movie 204 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: fan if you're into dark stuff like this. But that 205 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: scene where he saves the day, it was so different 206 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: because what happens afterwards, It's something I've never seen in 207 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: a Batman movie. He goes on to immediately start saving people. 208 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: And the reason that's important is because all the other 209 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: times of every portrayal of Batman really any superhero. They 210 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: do all these things to stop the villain, They make 211 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: all this collateral damage to quote unquote save the city, 212 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: but in that process, they don't really help people. They 213 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: don't really seem like people doing those little small things. 214 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: And while they save people from maybe you know, the 215 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: entire city baby dying, they don't really hop into action 216 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: to do the little things. They're not there for the cleanup. 217 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: You don't see the Avengers out there picking up or 218 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: extinguishing all the buildings they set on fire. But in 219 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: this moment, you see Batman, after he just did one 220 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: heroic thing after another, immediately going in and starting to 221 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: rest you people. And he wasn't even a superhero in 222 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: that moment. He wasn't even Batman. He was like a 223 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: first responder. He was out there, you know, in his 224 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: Batman suit, but covered in mud, pulling people from the wreckage, 225 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: getting people out, helping kids on stretchers, you know, getting 226 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: them rescued, and being there to pick up the pieces. 227 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: And that was something I've never really seen in any superhero, 228 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: just be a real person trying to do something good. 229 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: While he is this vigilante, he's also there just to help. 230 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: And after all this destruction of Gotham. There's no big 231 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: sunshiny day. Right after that final scene, it actually talks 232 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: about them, you know, having to live with the effects 233 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: of like you know, it took weeks or months even 234 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: to recover from this. They referenced the National Guard coming in. 235 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: So it really felt like Gotham was actually a real 236 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: city and all these things were happening for a reason 237 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: and it wasn't just in some big fantasy world. It 238 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: just felt yeah, more realistic in that sense. And the 239 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,119 Speaker 1: other part is that catwoman in this was the smartest 240 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: person to be, one of the only people to be like, 241 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: you must be rich. The way you're talking, in the 242 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: way you're saying these things, you must have grown up rich. 243 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: The only person who's ever kind of put that thing 244 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: together of like, well, there's this guy who runs around 245 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: this town with all these cool expensive gadgets, how is 246 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: he able to do this, Well, he must be a billionaire, Like, 247 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: no one never puts that together that Bruce Wayne, one 248 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: of the richest people in Gotham, couldn't be Batman. So 249 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: I love that aspect too. I love the explosions. I 250 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: love the greediness and the realness of all those fighting 251 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: and chase scenes, and I love that feeling it gave 252 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: me once he finally was able to win and prove himself. 253 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: So that is it. My full spoiler review of The 254 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: Batman and I talked about a little bit earlier, but 255 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: it looks like there will be a sequel going into 256 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: this in the same world of the Riddler escaping, possibly 257 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: teaming up with the Joker. I'm excited to see Robert 258 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: Pattinson in another movie. I would love to see them 259 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: bring in other villains again. I don't love the reintroduction 260 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: of a different Joker, but what I've heard from director 261 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Matt Reeves is he will have a different spin on 262 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: the Joker. He's not going to have an origin story 263 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: of a guy who was dropped into acid. I think, 264 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: like what Keen Phoenix is Joker. He will just be 265 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: utterly disturbed individual and I kind of think that will 266 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: play up nicely into countering The Batman. So there you go. 267 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: There's my full spoiler review. I hope you have watched 268 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: and enjoyed The Batman as much as I did.
