There's an interesting symmetry in the ending of The Batman and ANOTHER of the World's Greatest Detectives iconic endings, one that Christopher Nolan gave us in The Dark Knight. But for all the obvious comparisons to be made, we think The Batman might've done it better.
Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson took almost 3 hours to tell the story of the early years of the caped crusader and his first super villain encounter in the form of Paul Dano as the Riddler. But the real story is told with the film's use of light and dark, charting The Batman's course from a monster lurking in the shadows to a symbol of hope for Gotham City. Nowhere is the impact of the work of Matt Reeves, Cinematographer Greg Fraser, and colorist David Cole more apparent than the film's final shot. Here is why the visuals of the ending work so well in The Batman, better in fact, than how they worked in The Dark Knight.
