The Batman

MOVIE REVIEW

Jun 8, 2022

PG-13

2022

When legacy lies.

Visually spectacular & narratively great, The Batman never ceases to suprise. While, slow at times, its 3-hour runtime is easily forgiven thanks to its high-paced action and slow built suspense..

Bruce Wayne, only a 2 year batman, still struggling to fullfill his fathers legacy, which was to bring the city of Gotham up onto its own two feet. But when a mysterious riddler tries to tarnish all that Bruce has of his familiy, he must choose whether to be better then what was given to him, or to remain the same.

This movie handled its thematic ideas wonderfully. Although, I do wish, at times they spent a little more time fleshing out other characters, its 3-hour runtime was well spent.
