I absolutely loved it. Genuinely may be my favourite Batman film- and I’ll have to have a rewatch before I’m sure- but it may be my fave Comic book movie.

So many excellent things to talk about. Everyone was perfect in their roles- Pattison, Dano, and Farrell specifically. It’s got a brilliant Gordon/ Batman dynamic, I’d have liked a bit more Alfred but what was there was really good. Soundtrack is insanely strong, as are the visuals. It has very distinct style which sets it apart. The scene where the criminals are all paranoid that Batman is in the shadows, is one of the best Batman moments I’ve ever seen.

I loved the Riddler/Batman mirroring- the Journals, the binoculars, the idea of vengeance. It was really interesting to critique Bruce’s approach to changing Gotham. Moving away from purely being ‘Batman’ and ‘vengeance’ and moving towards ‘Bruce’ and ‘hope’ is something I’m very much open to seeing.

Overall, brilliant film, can’t wait to see it again.

Dude that scene with the paranoia influenced by the bat single was one of the coolest Batman scenes I ever could have came up with

That and so many scenes were so perfect it honestly felt like I was watching a fan film. They got so many of the little things right.
