The BEST Batman?! // The Batman Reaction 

The opening scene where Bruce has his monologue, the music blasting, criminals fearing the shadow of the unknown, and then hearing Batman’s heavy footsteps walking, was a masterful scene. Really shows the essence of Batman in this movie.

I went to see The Batman in cinemas with my moms bf who is a big fan of Batman and the comics, and we both loved it. The acting, the fights, the atmosphere, the characters and music. Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and definitely one of the best Batman movies. 🖤

You can see the mistakes Bruce makes being only in YEAR TWO. Rough around the edges. Bruce Wayne persona not polished yet. Love it 💘

fun fact: around ~30min into the film, you can see the riddler in his apartment peeping into the iceberg lounge (before his location is made obvious later in the film). one of the most terrifying portrayals of a villain imo.

His vengeance thing inspired a lot of criminals. He realizes that after pulping that Riddler fan so he chooses to become the knight in the end.

26:07 Gordon’s trying to act like he’s pissed at Batman in front of the cops so that it “justifies” Batman punching him later. Gordon is trying to help him but also trying to stay on the cops good side because Batman did screw up, but Gordon still believe him

The fact that this movie rakes place from October 31st-Novermber 6th making it 7 days is probably the coolest nod to the movie "seven" ever. I always knew the movie had elements from seven but having the movie take place over 7 days is so cool.

Pattinson knocked it out of the park. Such a great job portraying a younger Batman.

nah we gone talk about the “id let robert patterson beat my ass”💀

49:40 I think that the “Ave Maria” taunt it is a little funny. He knows he is pissing Bruce off, which is why some people may either choose Bruce’s anger, or the Riddlers witty taunt (behind a bulletproof glass)

I feel like people don't appreciate that this movie fully shows the "world's greatest detective" aspect of Batman's character. I love that you enjoyed that aspect of the movie

26:05 he's doing these facial expressions to mask what he's talking about with Batman... he's trying to appear aggressive, so that the punch seems more believable

He's unexpectedly the best Batman so far y'all 😂 Didn't see that coming.

So here’s something I keep noticing- Batman being a detective and peeping in on Selina= creepy. Edward Cullen (a 100 year old man) watching an underage girl sleep for a month without her knowledge = romantic. I don’t understand true romance I guess.

I loved this film, the way they showed the more Noir/ detective side of Batman makes this film!! Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattinson's chemistry as Batman/ Selina is flawless!!

sometimes u gotta sacrifice these first reactions for the theater experience because comic book movies in the cinemas just hit different fr. When that batmobile engine started roaring, the surround sound from the theater was amazing

This movie is 3 hours long and it never drags, everything is to the point and every character is given the amount of screen time for development

I really like this film pattinson did a great job tbf. I like that he’s only been Batman for two years and he’s still angry and not pulling his punches. He’s the worlds greatest detective and Alfred is an amazing actor Bruce is his new precious lol

I watched this movie two weeks ago with my parents in the cinema. My dad (who’s 60) loved the movie. He usually falls asleep watching movies but he was son invested he watched all three hours without closing his eyes.

I think you missed the point of the "I'm Vengeance" line, it's supposed to show how Batman inspired people the wrong way. Instead of people seeking Justice for the people of Gotham, they're instead acting on Vengeance, a selfish act. That's why he stuck around to help the survivors, because he wants to change his image to a protector, not a vindicator

Now with the sequel being announced, I really hope they introduce more villains that hadn't appeared on film for years, the way they did for Riddler and Penguin. I really wish they seize this opportunity to bring back the "loving husband who's origin and motivations shatters our hearts"-Mr Freeze

The Batman is easily one of the best Batman films after Mask of the Phantasm I think Robert Pattinson is the best Batman because he gave us the more comic accurate Batman his Batman reminded me a lot of the animated series Batman and I love it I am so excited for more Battinson he's great and I hope they do Mr. Freeze in the sequel he's a amazing villain

40:49 Frankly, the problem is that no individual act of revenge is going to really make a difference. And--Bruce Wayne is trying to save Selina, not Falcone.

Hear me out: The Batman 2 will be even better than this one! Reason: This is the first movie whit Matt Reeves Vision in it, the actors now did a movie and know how to do another one. The cinematography will be better (I guess), the score was and will be great as well, the Story was so well written and everything has led up to a great sequel. The Batman 2 will break even better for sure.

the reason gordon was making those weird faces was because he was trying to make it look like he was scolding the batman in front of the cops (an act)

YES!!! I'm watching this Tomorrow night on HBO! The movie is inspired by BLADE RUNNER, Se7en Saw, Silence Of The Lambs, All The President's Men, Klute, Zodiac, Chinatown, The French Connection and every single Hitchcock movie.

The Alfred Bomb scene is actually really good screenwriting, a classic misdirection.

I watched this in the cinema with my sister (We're both pattinson fans) and we love every second of it. The introduction to Batman. The car chase, Zoe Kravitz. And the more i watch it, the more i appreciate it. You know how much you love Batman and Rob Pat so this reaction did not disappoint

He's mad at Bruce because he had all that money and didn't do nothing to help the orphans correct me if I'm wrong comments.

the technical aspects of this film were so amazing, would be 12/10 if the car chase scene had the batmobile jumping the ramp a scene earlier (cause it cut to another view and then the batmobile appeared outta the fire)

Saw it in the theater loved every minute of it all the actors did an amazing job and yes Robert Pattinson is underrated

If you know the real Batman comics you know Batman is dark and violent stories and he is more of a detective than a cgi super hero

When I saw this in theaters hearing the footsteps that was a really cool touch because it felt like he was actually the shadows and then when he emerged it felt like the Arkham games were he wasn't perfect at countering but when he got the combat down he could pretty much take down a group of bad guys

If you watch TDK trilogy Pich Meeting videos on RU-vid, you soon realize just how much of the Nolan trilogy doesn't actually make much sense and if you take Heath Ledger out of TDK, it is an average film. In the Pitch Meeting vid for this film, they struggled to find anything out of place. That speaks volumes. This is probably the first Batman film in which Batman was the most interesting character (by a wide margin. And the villains were so good!), the first to bring him back to his roots as 'The World's Greatest Detective' ('DC' originally being 'Detective Comics', afterall) and the first film to realize that the old "Billionaire playboy persona" is not a requirement for a good Bruce Wayne story (as the animated series demonstrated years ago). Best on-screen Batman and the best Batman film ever made. No question

Saw this one in theaters, it's absolutely AMAZING, the cinematography was amazing, the cast was brilliant, overall it's fantastic 💯

Fun fact: the half face painted kid is Tim Drake(robin) in the Teen Titans show

I loved every part of this film, from soundtracks to the whole atmosphere. Even without "the batman", it's a great detective movie. I've talked about this with my friend that the whole movie itelf is decent enough and the character Batman makes it even more interesting. They tried to stay away from the usual superhero shticks as much as possible. I also loved that here, Bruce is still going through a lot, he's not an unbeatable madman and Pattison was perfect for this role. In recent years, I've honestly fed up with superhero movies. These new dark, gloomy DC movies are breath of fresh air for me. I'm glad it did well in box office, so they'll probably make another movie.

(Bat screeching like a thousand tortured souls in the depths of hell) "Look how cute it is!"

That Jaw line of Robert Pattinson suits very well for a masked character in my opinion. Can literally cut glass in your opinion 🤣🙂

I love the Seven vibes and detective aspects. Robert Pattinson killed it! My 2nd fave Batman movie easy

Didn’t expect this reaction, can’t wait to watch it when I get out of work. I strongly recommend getting into DC tv shows or movies. Much more variety than what marvel has to offer in terms of tone and layout. If you were to watch the DCEU movies (DC’s Marvel’s MCU) the timeline goes : 1. Wonder Woman 2. Wonder Woman 1984 3. Man of Steel 4. Batman V Superman (Ultimate edition) 5. Suicide Squad 6. Justice League / Zack Snyder’s justice league 7. Aquaman 8. Shazam 9. Birds of Prey 10. The Suicide Squad 11. Peacemaker (HBO Max)

Dangling the criminals was similar to what was done to the cops in the Dark Knight, which took the idea from the comic, Batman: Year One (if i remember correctly).

As great as the Dark Knight is, this movie is the best BATMAN movie ever made and it’s not close. The Dark Knight is a Nolan movie they just so happens to have comic characters in it. But this movie is TRULY a Batman movie. The immersive experience of Gotham, the way the characters are written, it just FEELS like Batman and it’s absolutely sensational

Robert and Zoe were awesome as Wayne and Selina but for me the standouts were Paul Dano as The Riddler and Colin Farrell as The Penguin, both of them completely embodied their characters and with the mask/prosthetics both were unrecognisable which allowed them to completely become their respective roles, Matt Reeves’ filmmaking is unparalleled and this movie is the first to match The Dark Knight

Batman does not kill. Even when people deserve it. He believes that anybody can change and become a good person, and as long as he believes that, he will not take a life. Not on purpose, anyways.

31:40 funny how they made him walk like a penguin

Didn’t think it was possible but this movie imo surpassed The Dark Knight

Great opening scene. The dark knight trilogy and the Batman is never going to be boring to watch it more than two times

Considering this batman is his second year I wonder who he stopped in year one, in my opinion we all know he captured joker, but i think he also captured bane because when he was hurting and couldn't get up at the end of the movie i think he used some of banes serum to give him a supernatural boost to defeat the rest of riddlers goons. There may be others but I'm not sure.

A lot of people seem to miss the fact that Batman himself is a fucking nutter. He's an unstable metally scarred person with an obsesive personality. He's utterly broken as a person. In most the Batman comic runs it takes a good amount of time before he starts to heal and settle but even then at his core he's still that little boy who lost his parents and it fucked him up something crazy.

41:02 Oh you're gonna love Zoe with blue hair in Kimi ;)

There’s interviews with Robert and Zoe, where they said when they were talking close and doing those intimate scenes sweat was draining off from the inside of his mask’s nose piece onto Zoe’s face and into her mouth 😂

I like that Bruce Wayne himself looks vampiric and gothic somewhat

This is the best Batman movie because this movie is totally different from previous batman movies And This movie has a dark theme that is just like the Arkham games

You really should've seen this im the Cinema...The chase scene in Cinemas was UNREAL!

Watching a movie with Alyce feels like I’m watching stuff with the homies at the house! 👏🏾🙌🏾

Thanks for another great reaction. What a movie! It's brilliant, I love how he's not perfect and gets his ass kicked all movie. The car chase was PHENOMENAL, what a beautifully shot film. Zoe was fantastic and gorgeous, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon was sooo good! We want MORE!

This Batman movie is more grounded & realistic and he's playing a year 2 Batman so yeah

Two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now. For when I'm needed. But when that light hits the sky, it's not just a call. It's a warning. To them. Fear... is a tool. They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.-Bruce Wayne

4:52 ”I’d let Robert Pattison beat my ass too” Wait, that didn't come out right.. 😅

The Batman is a beautiful cinematic and gothic masterpiece.

Falcone knew she was his daughter. That’s why he knew her when they met at the club. Saying “I’m Maria Kyle’s kid” was making a statement.

Holy shit Alyce you're batman voice is better than Christian Bales for real 😂. I'm impressed

If the cops were smart they would shoot the wings, you probably don’t own a gun to know to aim center mass and for a fast moving target on top of a city skyscraper you most likely won’t and should just pop a few shots, the amount of paperwork for a dead pedestrian from a cop who just popped a few shots is how we end up hating the police IRL

This is the Batman I was waiting for. This felt like I was living in Gotham City for 3 hours.

Oh man I love your idea of Zoe as Ventress!

Went to see this at the theater, like an idiot didn’t go to the bathroom beforehand and had to pee the entire time. Refused to leave my seat bc I was too into the movie and loved every second of the movie. Can’t wait to watch it again on HBO MAX. 10/10 Batman in my book. Pattinson crushed it

This is by far my favorite version of Batman/ Bruce Wayne. I think this is (maybe batman begins as well) where batman is the spotlight of the movie. Every batman film, the villains steal the show but this one is about the development of being Batman.

By far the best Batman film ever made. I saw it 5 times in the theater, and I lost count of how many times I've watched it at home now. It's actually my favorite film as of now. Absolutely love this film, and I'm still blown away by what Matt Reeves was able to create. And Robert Pattinson is easily the best Batman in live action, in my opinion. And it's not even close. I can't wait to see what Matt Reeves has in store for us in the sequel!! I'd suggest watching it again by yourself, and not having to worry about talking in the video 😉

I love this Batman, I didn´t think I would, the cinematography the detective batman, the Gotham city portrait are just amazing, can´t wait for the next one

Even though this movie reminds me of the tv show gotham, since Robert Pattinson aka Edward Colin’s was Batman, it would be cooler that if daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter was the Tim drake robin and if daisy Ridley aka rey skywalker was batgirl.

Man, this movie is living in my head rental free 24/7 I need help

'Fun fact' - the funeral scene was filmed at St George's Hall, Liverpool, where I got married - watching it at a cinema in the same city was oddly exciting. Pleasantly surprised by this movie, proves Batman movies can still be fresh and unique. (And the clock tower he jumps off of is the Liver Building, next to where I used to work - part-Scouse Batman film, maybe I'm biased).

Good news, a sequel to The Batman has been confirmed today!

You did got everything right now the last thing when the Riddlers thug said "I'm Vengeance"...it got a meaning...they used Batman's Vengeance and fear as a tool...and so Riddler said we are both in it and Riddler did helped to take down the corrupt people there .. Lol you saw the deleted clip before and then checking for end credit like a Marvel fan...lol

Hour long video!! 🤯 Loved watching this first time along with your patreon reaction! Movie was so good!! Thanks for all the hard work Alyce!!

in fairness to gordon, he only really made the weird faces when he was pretending to be chewing out batman in front of the other cops. 😂

I’ve always wonder people who talk this much over reaction videos, are they actually watching the movie or pretending they seeing it for the first time hence the talking over every few seconds. It never seem realistic to me that you can watch a movie for the first time and pause and comment every minute or so .

🦇"Look at the Bat Signal and question your choices in life!"😂 I don't think it was planned but that actor who played the kid that didn't want to assault the train passenger ended up becoming Robin in the DC series "Titans".

Your "I am Vengeance." was pretty awesome.

Overall I enjoyed the movie from a visual standpoint, loved Gotham City looked amazing very Arkham Knight (Video Game) the mix of old meets new Gotham that 1930s gothic look meets modern 2020 and hints of 1970s/1980s. Wish we saw a little bit more art deco designs but this is more of a nit-pick. Of course this movie also had modern tech what you'd expected in the 2020s with those massive Monitors on the side of buildings adding so much to the overall look of the city, modern version of classic 1930s billboards. You may be wondering why I brought up Modern tech when Batman movies like the Nolan Trilogy had a modern day setting. But both Tim Burtons and more so The Animated Series had this very timeless 1930s look from the fashion to the cars and the architecture but it also had modern tech (for the 90s) as the series was set in the 1990s, Gotham just had this really cool hybrid of old and new. The Batman film doesn't go as much into that look but you can see little elements of Gotham past something I really enjoyed. I also love the classic 1950s style diner where Riddler was captured just felt so much like the opening of Arkham Knight and it's Gotham in general which drew from every depiction of Gotham from the Neon Lights of Joel Schumacher Gotham to the more retro 1930s artistic from the Burton movies and of course the modern day artistic featured in the Nolan movies. This film nailed the Gothic look while also keeping it more grounded. Wish we got a little bit more retro vibes maybe have some Blimps overhead (actually could've came in handy when the city flooded you know with transport and supplies) along with some retro looking posters and adverts, adore the location where Bruce talked to Falcone that looked very Tim Burton/Arkham series. I enjoyed the city more than the The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises which really lacked that Gothic artistic and felt more like Chicago than Gotham but were still great movies, music was also amazing very much inspired by Shirley Walker who was the composer for the Batman Animated Series creating some of the best Batman music to date. Wasn't a big fan of this rendition of Bruce Wayne felt movies like Mask of the Phantasm (Highly recommend watching it) did a way better job at dealing with the conflict between a younger Bruce and Batman but I can see this version developing overtime which is something I can't wait to see in the sequels. This film drew heavily from the Batman Earth-One issues in one key area. Martha Wayne being an Arkham instead of a Kane pulled right from Batman Earth-One. In almost all renditions Martha is a Kane just like Bruce's cousin Kate Kane who is of course Bat woman. Maybe Kate still exists in this universe but as an Arkham but who knows. Alfred also trained Bruce in both Earth-One and this film with the Earth-One Alfred being a Royal Marine. Since Frank Millers Year One comic Bruce has spent his early years exploring the world coming back to Gotham like we see in Batman Begins which is where he learnt to fight. My ideal Sequel would 100% be a movie focused around Mister Freeze inspired by his appearance in the Batman Animated Series would both give us an interesting villain but also a fun setting go more for a winter theme with blue overtones instead of Red maybe add more colour instead of the film being dark 24/7. Glad you enjoy the film and cannot wait for any future Batman movies/Shows you react to.

Wow! An hour long reaction for a movie. I’m impressed

I am Vengeance is the first third of Kevin Conroy's top famous Batman catch phase which is I AM VENGEANCE I AM THE KNIGHT I AM BATMAN.

LOVED this film soooo much, watched it on the opening day myself! Been wainting for your reaction since, thanks for the content Alyce

35:05 Bruce: My dark knight has risen.

When that bomb explodes, you can see Bruce block his face with his arms by the way.

24:27 you can see Batman covering his face with his arms

i flip flop this and TDK as my favorite batman movie. i saw it 3 times in theaters and i still can’t pick a solid #1. this movie was *insanely good*

I typically have only watched your Star Wars show reactions and this is the 1st movie one I've watched from you. You are so good at doing these I have to say. I enjoy the comedy that you include with your reactions. Very well done.

Rob pattison looks so dope as Bruce Wayne and the batman. ❤

“Hush money” could be a Hush Easter egg

Watched it in cinema, definitely the best movie I've ever watched in cinema. The visual, sounds etc. Are so great. Unforgettable experience. Btw great reaction!

The best movie intro ever ever seen

this movie is a masterpeice, Robbert is the new definitive live action batman

"What is that?" It's the Bat-drenaline, of course.

Bruce put his arms over his mouth, that's how he survived.

To tell you the truth this is the first time I've finally watching the Batman with you. I'm excited 😁. This is so awesome watching this movie with you. Thank you love.

The sound the snippers made when pulled from the tire

Carmine Falconi quoted a comic book clip in the Batman Long Halloween comic series where Bruce was remembering to a night before the night in the alley where Carmine was being fixed by Thomas Wayne in Wayne Manor.

This is the greatest Batman movie of all time.
