@davinponynl Perfectly described. This is the world of BATMAN come to life. An endless struggle in a city that is doomed. He himself is a victim and product of the city. It would be hard for Part II to top this. It doesn't need to because this is the best definitive film for Batman and Gotham
This movie shows how ridiculous, silly, nihilistic and endless the concept of batman is but it also shows what kind of a man could be pushed to undertake such a crusade and makes it look so cool
It's a movie you can describe as embodying the soul of the character.
And in a way? Reeves makes it NOT cool to be the caped crusader. Look at how corrosive and stagnating two years of nights has done on Bruce and Gotham at large. Look at how the Riddler and his bitter nobody’s are. Angry, single minded, judgement without compassion or understandin
I love to talk about this movie and i one day make a video. I think it has such a great understanding of what births batman and answers the question of why batman didn't pour time into being a lawyer, cop, or some kind of billionaire who is dedicated to fixing gotham.
@Aesthetician29 I agree but I think cool is subjective. I think he clearly highlights that being batman is not something that is really good for bruce. If Martha and.thomas could see him, they probably wouldn't want him being batman
On that note, i am super excited to see how part 2 takes us into discourse of mental health. We can already infer a lot from the Journaling and monologues in part one. I wonder how far reeves and Tomlin can take this in part 2. It needs to be groundbreaking stuff.

They would never be able to depict the character in this light and make you feel and connect if he was not THIS human and this real. I think he could obviously grow into something more mythical but this story touches on the actual soul and psyche of Bruce wayne/batman.
I got into comics SERIOUSLY to butress my point that amongst all people who have touched the character in comics, animation or live action. Matt reeves and mattson Tomlin are up there with the best. They didn't ground batman cause they thought the more fanciful stuff was silly +

To also* inspire hope. Becoming more is not an abandonment of his utilization of fear. Its just that the bigger part of the mission has shifted. The goal is now to also inspire hope instead of strictly instilling fear
So beautiful when you remember that bruce understands how ridiculous this is but his goal is very human. He's not here to do the impossible. He is here to have an effect. To make an impact. Starting with fear and later opting to inspire hope which is more sustainable .
I really hope fans will stop talking about a third movie once the trailer hits for Part 2 (you know…the movie that actually exists and they’re working hard on)…
Why does it feel like we have to keep saying this…
ONLY TWO BATMAN MOVIES EXIST FROM REEVES!
The second comes out in 15 months! A third film is NOT in development. It literally does not exist. Just because a director said he had ideas, doesn’t mean it’s real beyond ‘thoughts’.
@Shauner2027@erikmts123 It has nothing to do with a hypothetical Reeves vs Skydance feud.
Just legally James Gunn couldn't had forced Reeves to merge or remove him.
He didn't had the legal rights
