So it's a cohesive, interconnected narrative but the billion dollar Phillips Joker and critically acclaimed Reeves Wayne get carve outs?
Maybe Joker ends after the musical sequel and perhaps Reeves also naturally ends after a trilogy (those Max spin off shows might also have run their course by the end of a Reeves trilogy)
When compared to Batfleck, or to Batsuit nipples, this was much better. Honestly I think people forget that Batman Begins had issues too and did seem a bit too long and boring. The series got better though, and I'd argue the second film made the series good mostly because of Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker (best Joker ever). Tom Hardy's Bane helped it finish strong.
Christian Bale was a decent Batman, but when the supporting cast was not quite as intriguing (like in Batman Begins), the movies seem much weaker and less interesting. If the sequel can fix that issue, this series can get better.
I'm not upset I watched it, but doesn't hold a candle to the Nolan Batman trilogy.

In the Pattison Batman, many characters and villains have no charisma, and some have no build up or no reason to care what happens to them
since they either are, not interesting, or are just there to be a minor plot device.
I'd give The Batman a 7/10. Still better than the Joakim Phoenix Joker movie at least.
I would say It is dark for anyone under 10.

Ultimately it depends. But is 9 too young regardless of maturity level?
I find the guy a little creepy TBH

It isn’t my wifey’s cup of tea but I’m intrigued.
Only seen up to Batman with Catwoman infiltrating the club but so far, interesting.
Definitely more of a detective story vs a super hero movie but I’m good with that.
Honestly this doesn't get talked about enough, but the cinematography in The Batman is beautiful, purposeful, and actually very thoughtful. And it's not like any "superhero" film to date. Because it's basically a noir film.
I love the shallow field of view of a lot of the shots, and learning that the filmmakers de-tuned their lenses to ensure softer edge focus in contrast to the centre focus makes so much sense now.
The batmobile chase is another instance where they went beyond what I expected from this movie. Did you know that the crew actually filmed it using modified Helios 44-2 lenses? These are cheap, ubiquitous Russian lenses from like the 70s that many photography nerds own for the special bokeh qualities it can provide (I own one and can confirm). It's cool to think that the director and cinematographer went to some of these lengths to get the shots they wanted. I hope they win awards for this.
zoe kravitz is short and looks tiny compared to some of these thugs, but somehow, she is stronger than all, she beats them all in very artificial fighting sequences.
Casting is one of the most difficult things to do, and nobody is happy at the end, but this was a bad choice.
In other words... If I never see this Catwoman again, I would not miss her at all.
I thought the Riddler's characterization was very interesting (not cartoonish), Batman was oK, Penguin was great, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone should have had more screentime.
To be honest, I'm a little surprised it got the amount of box office receipts it did. I guess this movie just wasn't for me.
BTW, I think the role of Catwoman was almost superfluous to this movie, and the same goes for Penguin. However, I guess they're setting these characters up for the next movie. I did like the portrayal of Penguin though. Catwoman, not so much.
If you look at this as an alternate origin story than what we've seen before (just like Earth One), I think it works better. This Batman needs a psychiatrist and therapy... He's stuck in stage two of the five stages of grief, angry, jaded and he just doesn't have yet the right type of mentorship to get him where he needs to be to help Gotham properly. A need for vengeance makes him reckless, less methodical. And it isn't until later in the movie where he's actually told that he can use his wealth and stature to be someone the city needs, instead of the recluse he currently is. Imagine if prince charming was raised by a mercenary or pirate instead of by a King, Queen and their royal servants... Because that's the guy we have to begin this movie.
All of that is even reflected in his batsuit, his choice of vehicles, etc...
The problem for me is the abundance of great source material, and how the movie did not really delivered much of anything. Also, the casting and characterization of Catwoman let me down. Also, the vehicles sucked (cars and motorcycles).
People already posted the comics, The Long Halloween, and I was thinking Batman: Zero Year, Year one, Year Two. Tons of ideas right there.
The music was great to set the tone, but then I realized that the main theme is a remix of Darth Vader / Star Wars' The Imperial March. LOL.
John Williams should sue them.

Overall I was not too enthused with this movie. 3/5.

There's the pre-video of them discussing the idea. Good little snippet of how The Bat-Man went from being all dark to the camp Batman.

Definitely didn't enjoy it as much as the first time I watched batman begins or any of the nolan movies.
I'd rather watch a standalone batfleck movie
Agree they could have done so much more with the Penguin and even the Riddler for the most part. I was originally looking forward to seeing other villains besides the Joker but in the end, felt let down and underwhelmed.
Maybe my expectations were set a little too high. Would give it 7 out of 10. Not higher. And unlike other superhero films, I can't see myself bothering to watch this one again.
