If it was an MCU movie that would have been a post credit scene and no one would bat an eye. Spot on with everything. Spoiler as for the Arkham scene, I really thought we were getting a glimpse of that character in the final battle scene when one of the acolytes shoots Batman point blank while he was dangling and holding onto the rail while the area below filled up. Almost the origin story in reverse, if you will. Edit: I even liked the subtle nods to past movies and the campy show. Little things like Penguin waddling around at the funeral and the Mozart statue in a room in Wayne Manor Edited March 4, 2022 by INbengalfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or moreso I rather it not be the joker. Would’ve preferred like Mad Hatter or someone like that. He would’ve had the same playful talk with Ed, but not be yet another Joker. Especially with the dumb twin henchmen, can very much see them becoming this universes version of Tweedledee and Tweedledumb working for Jervis in a future film.

Kiltman Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Sequel thought Spoiler The reporters last name was Elliot, I wonder if they will rework that into Hush’s storyline in a future film. Especially that info getting out there, and public perception being Thomas ordered a hit on him. Can be part of a series of transgressions by the Wayne’s Hush perceives on his family.

My buddy wants to go see it, so I may break down and go either this weekend or next. I might just go by myself at some point. Im excited to see this, but a few spoiler free reviews I saw confirmed what I saw from the trailers (but since it is slightly spoiler-ish).. Reveal hidden contents ...that there is really no difference between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Several have confirmed that Bruce Wayne is very brooding and acts relatively the same all the time. I dont blame Pattinson for that, and Im not saying it will affect the quality of the overall film for me....but it does disappoint me somewhat. Thats a BIG part of the character that is seemingly just ignored. Although based on what ive heard, he spends most of the film as Batman and not a ton of screen time as public Bruce Wayne. Either way, it sounds like a winner. It sucks that they seemingly hit home runs with these non-extended universe movies, but largely shiz the bed with anything that connects to the other stuff. You've seen all the Bruce Wayne scenes really. Ill throw this in a tag but... Spoiler He is out of the suit and in public ONCE in the entire movie and it is at a funeral. There is no moment for Bruce Wayne to come out. That being said, the lack of Bruce Wayne plays to the character development. I promise you, it wont be an aspect that effects your opinion on the flick. It was all very Year One or Zero Year 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 looking forward to seeing what Robert and Matt do with the Wayne character going forward. After hearing his final thoughts in the film, I think Bruce will be more social in the sequel. Spoiler speaking of the sequel, Gotham is going to look like a mess. Gang wars taking place in a city that was just destroyed with the flood. I can see whole parts of the city being unkempt/abandon. I wonder if Matt will use some Post-Katrina imagery and incorporate it into Gotham. A lot of corruption comes out of disasters like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continue to question if that is a better way to use his time. Only to have people go after him and realize part of the purity of Batman is he’s a symbol, and that while he might do more philanthropy to keep up appearances, he has to stay Batman til the job is done.

Spoiler I can see that happening. would have Bruce rubbing shoulders with the rich/corporate elite and that's where the next conflict/villain can come from. The people who have the real power in the city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I may actually have to pay to see it in theaters. Without spoilers, is there a mid or post credits scene? I would say the same thing to @43M knowing how much he loves the characters but hates the DCEU. Edited March 4, 2022 by INbengalfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattinson was awesome. Can't wait to see what they do next. For this to overtake TDK I’d have to orgasm in the theatre. looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've seen so many people miss the whole point of this Batman character and it makes me wonder if they even watched the right movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 right now I have this just a notch below TDK. I feel like the Nolan trilogy and part of the TDK have not aged well, but Heath Joker and some of the moments in that film are still hard to top. Reeves series is off to a great start tho I think this is my 2nd fav live action Batman flick for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDK pretty much solely stands on Ledger's performance. There's so many plot holes in that damn movie, it's hilarious. The Batman is a far superior film.
