T/FB: 2022 movie #90. I was skeptical but Pattison does a good Batman and a broody Bruce Wayne. He fights crime (villains such as The Penguin and The Riddler) with Catwoman (Kravitz) in the always hell-hole known as Gotham. A bit long at 3 hours, but a good movie. ( )

A serial killer with a conspiracy theory is a Batman fan.

1/4 (Bad).

It's Batman for David Fincher fans: joyless, monotonous, pretentious, and brutally dark. It does nothing to entertain the audience, or to give us any reason to care about the characters or story. And Batman makes so little effort to catch or stop the villain, he might as well not be in the movie at all. He's just there as some sort of walking metaphor, not as a character who has any agency in the story.
