Robert Pattinson’s The Batman is now in theatres

Posted on by

Earning over $20 million before opening weekend, the highly anticipated ‘The Batman’ has hit the big screen.

 

Robert Pattinson has been passed the torch to continue on the DC mega-franchise of ‘Batman’.

Also starring Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the infamous Riddler, and Colin Farrell as comic book supervillain, Penguin.

The vampire teen heartthrob isn’t exactly who I pictured as Gotham’s new dark knight, but critics say otherwise.

“The Batman is a gripping, gorgeous, and, at times, genuinely scary psychological crime thriller that gives Bruce Wayne the grounded detective story he deserves. Robert Pattinson is great as a very broken Batman, but it’s Zoe Kravitz and Paul Dano who steal the show, with a movingly layered Selina Kyle/Catwoman and a terrifyingly unhinged Riddler. Writer/director Matt Reeves managed to make a Batman movie that’s entirely different from the others in the live-action canon, yet surprisingly loyal to Gotham lore as a whole. Ultimately, it’s one that thoroughly earns its place in this iconic character’s legacy.”

 

Leah Greenblatt of EW calls The Batman (2022) possibly “the Darkest Knight yet.”

The legacy of Batman and the city of Gotham is a story that’s been told countless times.

Director, Matt Reeves had a near-impossible job, to earn his place among Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed The Dark Knight franchise, and Tim Burton’s iconic Batman films.

With odds stacked against The Batman (2022), critics are raving about the franchise reboot on opening weekend, with an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

And that’s Rotten Tomatoes!

Something about those British Batmen huh?

Now that we know Matt Reeves’ Batman reboot isn’t a total flop, get to the theatres quick this weekend to avoid spoilers… because we all have that one friend.
