The Batman (2022) Starring Robert Patterson (Spoilers Discussion Thread)

It's average, nowhere near the best but it wasn't the worst. It was dark, could have used more grittiness. It was very film noir. More Sin City ish than grimey. They needed a hotter cat woman but white boys like women that are built like teenage boys.
Running time was way too long. Needed to be 30-40 minutes shorter and it would have been a B-. I grade it a C.
The highlight award goes to cinematography.

'The Batman' Release Date on HBO Max Confirmed by WarnerMedia CEO
The day-and-date era seems to be approaching an end.

'The Batman' Release Date on HBO Max Confirmed by WarnerMedia CEO

One of the most widely felt impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic has been a shift in the way distributors strategize theatrical releases. Studios like Warner Bros. have forgone the traditional theatrical window, choosing instead to release their films simultaneously in theaters and on their bespoke streaming platform, HBO Max. (Both HBO and Warners are subsidiaries of WarnerMedia.) Even the biggest titles of the year have been impacted: the likes of Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, and The Matrix Resurrections all hit the streamer at the same time as the silver screen, which theater moguls have speculated to have impacted their box office takes.
But now, it looks like the release practice, known as day-and-date, is drawing to a close - at least as far as Warners is concerned.
In conversation with Vox's Recode, WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar confirmed that upcoming Robert Pattinson title The Batman - along with some of the studio's other tent poles releasing this year, like DC's Black Adam and The Flash - will return to a more traditional theatrical release window, streaming 45 days after its theatrical premiere. That's still markedly shorter than the classic window, which would span half a year or more, but it's something of a return to normalcy. In Kilar's words:
"Think about when movies would show up on HBO, which is eight to nine months after theatrical premiere. The Batman is going to show up on day 46 on HBO Max. [...] That is a huge change from where things were in 2018, 2017, 2016."
This would mean that The Batman will hit HBO Max on April 19, 2022. Kilar further added some of the other titles also coming to the service with a 45 day window, implying that this will become the regular model for the studio moving forward.
"I feel really, really good knowing that The Batman, and Black Adam, and The Flash, and Elvis, and a whole host of other movies, are literally going to be showing up on day 46 on HBO Max in a variety of territories all over the world. That is a very, very big change that I don't think people appreciate, and I feel really good about it."
The Batman hits theaters on March 4, 2022, featuring an all-star ensemble of Pattinson, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, John Turttoro, Colin Farrell, and Zoë Kravitz. Check out the film's official synopsis:
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, Lt. James Gordon — 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, Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin, Carmine Falcone, and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler. 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.
It’s such to be on HBO MAX on April 18, 2022.
I’ll wait for it then.

Told you guys it was nowhere near as good as the hype. I hate that we live in a world where whenever something new comes out, people rush to call it the “best ever.”
If there wasn’t so much unearned hype, maybe I would have had lower expectations and liked it better.

Kevin Smith reviews 'The Batman,' says superhero movies are saving Hollywood
Of course Kevin Smith has seen "The Batman." And he has a blunt message for genre critics like Scorsese, Coppola and Campion.
Tore up the mother fucking streets!!!
Seen it, thought it was the best Of how Batman is supposed to be. Thought the movie was very solid. Thought the cinematography was really good. The music was good. Thought the riddler was good. Penguin was ok. Thought the actor playing Batman was ok. DC can only do Batman good movies; all other characters usually suck or not good. Hopefully they only do Batman universe and not include him with other DC characters…
Recently yes! WW was ok at best; 2nd WW was awful so overall WW was badSo every DC character based movie other than Batman was bad??
Man of steel was solid. Batman vs Superman was terrible! Aquaman was umm well enough said. If it wasn't for batman, DC would be lost...
For what it was intended to be I thought Shazam was good. Suicide Squad was good.Recently yes! WW was ok at best; 2nd WW was awful so overall WW was bad
Its just a different world then Marvel. ITs clear to this date they can't do a universe like Marvel has with all their characters. But between Joker, Shazam, The Batman, Suicide Squad....they've shown to find their lane when they make stand alone films that either barely link or don't at all.
I'm not comparing DC to marvel because they are in two different leagues. Shazam was awful and Suicide Squad 1st was solid. 2nd one not so much. Joker was good acting just didn't really care for the movie...
Ah you see I thought the first Suicide Squad was trash and the 2nd one was pretty good.
Not watching The Joker.
Shazam was pretty good. A kids movie but still pretty good.
Since there's no world building, there's no point in even grouping DC films together. Such wasted potential.
Watching that scene in a Dolly theater with my seat vibrating as if I was in the passenger seat was a surreal experience. This was the first movie I've seen in DD.
Experiences like that will definitely keep movie theaters around a little longer.
On a separate note, props to the Penguin's driving skills. If he didn't get mesmerized by the Vengeance mobile jumping through fire, he may have gotten away... Lol.
Nigga u trippin
Why's that?
I felt like he should have been more gangsta..
