It’s not just a call… It’s a warning.
The long-awaited film, The Batman starring Robert Pattinson as the Batman himself and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman will not disappoint you! From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne.
Is it the BEST Batman film? Probably not, but it is definitely top 5. It will fulfill your expectations as it takes your on a wild detective journey, it’s grim and gritty filled with all the action you want. Most definitely different from all the other Batman films which will make you love this film.
Get ready because the film is dark and I mean DARK. While the film is three hours long and might make you nervous, trust me the three hours fly by; which only means it’s just that intriguing to watch and will keep your attention.
Must say I was a bit nervous when I heard that Mr. Twilight vampire, Robert Pattinson was taking on the role of The Batman, but I must say I can’t see anyone else filling these shoes especially with the stellar cast around him. Zoë Kravitz brought in the sex appeal and strong woman vibe as the Catwoman to the dark film while also bringing in a bit romance.
What most surprised me about this film was the makeup! Watch the film and see if you recognize Colin Farrell. It’s like the penguin devoured him!
Now lets get on to the villain, the Riddler played by Paul Dano… WOW! His portrayal of the Riddler will give you chills and might even make you cringe. You don’t see much from Paul Dano but when you do, it just smacks you in the face!
Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies—Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.
When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.
