Bruce Wayne was also central to the plot. Since the Riddler planned on killing Bruce Wayne as part of his vengeance on the city. Also, Bruce Wayne goes to Falcone's club to learn that his father might be corrupt just as all the leaders of the city. I think this is more than enough.

The Batman - 8/10

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I was expecting a run-of-the-mill batman story, but it turned out to be pretty compelling. I found the first and second acts to be very well written but the ending was pretty weak IMO. Also, the Riddler's motivations didn't seem strong enough IMO.

I think Robert Pattison portrayed Batman pretty well and the rest of the casting was pretty good as well. The grimdark Riddler is also a very a good change from the usually flamboyant versions we are used to.

Overall I'd say it's a pretty good movie. Reminds me of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie and I liked the darker tone of the movie in general.
Is this Batman released offline not in OTT Platforms?

Another thing I forgot to say is that it's a 3 hour movie and when I went to the rest room during the interval, I overheard a lot of guys saying that the movie is too slow. Personally I don't mind long movies but perhaps not everyone will like it.

Had a chance to watch no way home recently and was really disappointed - perhaps its one of the worst super super hero movies to have ever been made. Even though it was hyped to death, its story had little to no depth and the acting was absolutely subpar. And why was everyone cracking some stupid joke every few minutes?

And wth does scooby doo this $hit even mean? I wonder why almost every who has watched it speaks so highly of it-even reputable media outlets, youtubers etc have awarded it glowing 5 star rated reviews which it absolutely doesn't deserve. Maybe the marvel team had paid them off really well to write highly favourable reviews!

Does anyone else feel the same way about the movie?

I hated the needless censoring in the movie. It broke the flow completely.

Wow. I almost forgot about that. It's almost not worth watching any movie in the theater just because of that.

I watched Spiderman No Way Home yesterday night and the only thing I thought of was "What a silly premise!". Also, the other "spidermans" were added just for fanservice. Technically the whole movie seems like fanservice with little in way of plot.

Romance angle between Selina and Batman felt forced and unnecessary. Other than that, for me, it was between Batman Begins and The Dark Night Rises.
Why the hell is Gotham below sea level and they made walls to prevent flooding? Do they even know about Mumbai?

Do you have HBO Max?

I felt the scene of the other "Spidermen" introduction and the important scene just before that was jarring. Humor was misplaced.

Batman - 7.5/10
Movie is well made, but the reason people feel is slow is because of long dialogues scene in the movie. So, most people will Yawn at it.
Cinematography, Special effects and Fights are really good.
But I liked Christian Bale more as a Batman. Pattinson was looking too serious and silent Batman who speaks very less :)

I think the video game Batman Series character voice (from Arkham Asylum to Arkham Knight) Kevin Conroy is the best Batman voice till date.

They have not portrayed the following things in detail
  • Batman Underground Mansion
  • Batman Mobile was looking very dull & meh
  • Gadgets used by Batman are not paid attention to.
  • Cat woman costume (as if she is coming out of poverty)

In the movie Batman is not yet in his final polished Batman form! More of a becoming Batman movie.
So gadgets etc are not hi-tech, bat mobil is just a car with jet engine and Selina Kyle is indeed from a poor family or rather a homeless.
Her early years too.

Also Batman is shown cooperating with the police more directly because Batman used to actually do that in early comics. This can also be seen in the 60s Batman series.
