Ok so The Batman has one of my favourite opening half hours in a comic book movie ever.
That's some high praise and you only have to look at some of the opening scenes in The Dark Knight trilogy to know that Reeves had very some steep competition.
Christopher Nolan was an expert at introducing the villains and though Reeves does that brilliantly with the Riddler too, the scene in which he brings in his version of Batman is a whole nother level.
But why is it so captivating and what does the director do to give us the best introduction to Batman that we've ever had?
Well that's what we're gonna be breaking down in this video so hold onto your batts, hit that thumbs up batton and make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, I'm your host Paul aka the guy who's bat to the bone, now let's get into the breakdown.
Ok so after we watch the horrifying scene in which The Riddler murders the Mayor in his own home we cut to the cityscape of Gotham to see the cesspool that it's devolved into. Criminals occupy every corner and we very much get the impression that they've used the night as a weapon for decades in order to terrorise the good people of the city.
Darkness clouds the entire landscape but this is cracked open by the bat signal which pearces the skyline. After Gordon activates it we see it cuts through the clouds and hovers over the landscape, standing as a beacon in the darkness. This is where we hear Bruce's voice come over the top of the scene and here he introduces us to the city.
Narration is something that's often used in films to set the tone and it's a staple that's appeared in several detective noir stories. Through it we very much get Bruce's inner thoughts and how he sees not only Gotham but also The Batman.
It's a very effective technique and it was used expertly in Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns before he brought it over to Batman Year One. We even get a shot in the introduction where we catch Bruce in civilian clothes walking through a crowd of people and this is very much taken from Year One when he went out on his first night downtown.

I love how realistic the fight scenes were in this one, compared not only to Nolan's or Snyder's Batman, but to the superhero genre overall... The hero gets worn-out, he gets outnumbered, he can only take himself so far, it takes him time to get back on his feet and the criminals also take their time to recover, it's just incredible and it really helps set the tone for the story... Reminded me of the Daredevil series, which was until this movie to me the only superhero product that genuinely had not only an engaging story, but engaging fight scenes

@angryraccoon3158 2 года назад

I get that intention behind showing a public perception shift in Batman but by comic standards Superman is hope. Batman doesn't care for the most part on any good publicity. At least not by society's standards. His good publicity is people thinking he's a myth with a healthy dose of doubt. He is fear, he is vengeance, he is justice. That's what makes him so iconic and distinctive from Superman who represents hope and Wonder Woman who represents truth and love.

to add to this when he goes into the club as Batman he says: “do you know who I am?” and they laughed which shows that his fear hadn’t reached that far up the chain, until he gave them a good ol’ Batman beat down and chased down the penguin.

It reminds me of an intense feeling of the one in the Nolan series - the Dark Knight (I think) when Gordon throws on the Batsignal and a colleague asks him why and he says its to let people know Batman is out there and this crook bricks it when he sees the signal and tells his friend he's not going to do the job. However, I do like the fact that the crooks - every single one - bricks it when they see the signal because they think Batman's in the shadows, or in the air, or in the alley and the thing about it all? They never say anything: they all just look like over their shoulder thinking they know they done wrong and something is coming. Vengence? no....PUNISHMENT. Punishment is coming. (That's quoting another superhero though).

Agreed! This was the best intro of Batman in film. He just slowly walks out of the dark just as Giacchino's awesome music begins and you feel the intimidation. It's also a great intro juxtaposed with the ending where he is helping citizens and realizes he needs to not only be a pissed of vigilante but also needs to be a inspiration of hope as opposed to inspiring more Riddlers.

@sockpastarock7082 2 года назад

I think something great about this scene being juxtaposed against the closing scene which got missed is the response of the citizens themselves. In this opening scene, after batman dispatches the gang, the victim's immediate response is to cower from batman saying "please don't hurt me". In the closing scene, as batman fastens a citizen to a medical evac helicopter lift, she grips on to him as though she perceives him as a greater symbol of safety than the medical evac team. Only willing to let go of his arm and be taken by the helicopter after he comforts her. The stark contrast just further reiterates the arc he goes through in the film as he transitions into a symbol of hope from a symbol of vengeance portrayed through the eyes of the public.

One of my favorite thing about the fight scenes in this movie is that Batman gets hit. It isn't like in most superhero flicks where the goons wait for their turn to attack. They fully gang up on Batman, but he just rolls with the punches and keeps moving. He barely even acknowledges them unless they're serious hits (like the shotgun at the end of the movie). Just a small bit of added realism which shows the fact that Bruce is still human, despite how freaking terrifying he is.

@Ghasthund 2 года назад

There’s so much I love about the 3 criminals’ perspectives, each of them should logically know Batman has bigger fish to catch than themselves, but it’s the fear of “What if tonight, that’s me?" That causes 2 of them to run away. And while I was listening to this I remembered something I thought of during the Penguin chase scene; Batman must seem invincible to them. In the same way Superman is looked at like a god to everybody else, the criminals watch Batman tank guns, bats, tire jacks, fists, bombs, 500 foot falls off of buildings, cinder roadblocks, pseudo natural disasters/flooding, veritable armies of goons+themselves, and logically he should be feeling exhausted, but he just keeps coming. The sense of powerlessness you would feel as a criminal watching this shadowy god of a man walk off everything you throw at him would be overwhelming. People know Superman won’t be harmed by guns, but Batman should because he’s just a human. And yet he doesn’t seem to care if you hit him 5 times or 50, he’s still gonna get you. He’s always there, and he’ll always push through whatever you’ve got between you and him.

The Batman was brilliantly written and portrayed on the big screen! Everyone appreciates how this Batman is like a mix of a highly intelligent, resourceful private detective like Sherlock Holmes, a reclusive, skilled fighter like John Rambo who can take out multiple offenders at once all by himself, and has the coolest gadgets and arsenal of weapons at his disposal like James Bond all in one under his signature cape and cowl! It was interesting to get to see Batman's early experiences. I just wish WB would have integrated this young Batman with the JL one that was played by Ben Affleck! I think we could have seen two related but different universes seeing Batman's early career progress. Obviously, Patterson's Batman is in his early to mid 20's so he's about 25. Affleck mentions to Alfred in JL that he's been fighting crime for 20 years so that timeline could have placed Affleck's Batman at about 45 still young enough with to physically kick butt with that older man strength and more muscle mass after years of working out and experience fighting dangerous criminals! The way they can manipulate storylines now with the intro of different alternate universes and realties it is still possible to pull off to extend the stories.

The music was a great complement with parts of it giving off a Darth Vader vibe. The acting was flawless. Brilliant chemistry between the Bat and the Cat. My favorite version of Commissioner Gordon for sure! Colin Farrell was unrecognizably perfect as Penguin. Creepy Riddler was ultra disturbing. Zoe's Cat was raw and fierce, made you wanna take care of her even while knowing she could take care of herself ...time stopped for me in every one of her scenes. Alfred and Carmine were both subtle but engaging. I didn't want it to end. It was dark and I usually don't like dark...but it was so hopeful...still can't figure out how they executed that contradiction so beautifully.

@MichaelKhaimraj 2 года назад

Extreme Marvel fan here. I went into this movie skeptical, and was overwhelmingly pleasantly surprised. Coming off such a blockbuster that was Spider-Man No Way Home I couldn't imagine this movie would hit me the way it did. Robert Pattinson was an absolute tour de force. His performance evoked Charlie Cox's Daredevil for me. The dark, gritty, sullen vigilante struggling against their own mind. The dark, melancholy tone throughout the entire movie sucked me into it so entirely it's almost embarrassing to admit. I couldn't look away. The music elevated everything to another league. The noir take was beautiful. I found myself trying to piece together Riddler's plan as if I was there with Bruce. The twist's genuinely shocked me, and it felt like an interactive noir game as much as it was a movie, If this is the tone/writing the trilogy will use going forward, they have me hook, line and sinker. No Way Home was the first movie I ever went to theaters multiple times to rewatch. This movie will become the second. Absolute masterpiece.

@qownsqud3207 2 года назад

People so quick to disrespect the king as soon as something new comes along. This movie was solid, its potential is exciting. But beyond Heath's legendary acting, the pacing (movie keeps you on the edge of your seat for 2hrs 45min) and godly script is what pushed TDK over the top. This movie doesnt have the airtight dialogue nor does it go beyond surface level examinations in any of its definitely intruiging themes. Its pacing is inconsistent to straight bad. Is our picture perfect Batman one that almost gets wiped by a handful of untrained incels? Bale took down Joker, his thugs, AND a full SWAT team simulataneously regardless of the poorly choreographed fight scenes. Excited for the next movie, but this doesnt hold up to any kind of substantial evaluation and cannot touch TDK

@VizzyBon3 2 года назад

So dumb that everyone is putting this up against TDK. It’s two completely different style movies. It should really be compared to Batman Begins. Nolan obviously killed it w TDK. Ledger will never be touched. Zimmer’s music will always be my favorite. But Bale’s Batman was hit or miss. Nolan can’t direct action sequences. Gotham was a bit too nice and neat imo. This one has a completely different style and tone. It’s obviously more accurate to source material. Great action and characters. After seeing it twice, i really can’t find a flaw. People complaining about the length is laughable. Every single scene was needed. The detective stuff was spot on. Not one cringy line of dialogue. Just absolute perfection. Imo. Regardless they both are 10/10 masterpieces. Can’t wait to see how Reeves continues and Batman upgrades to the hero he is. I don’t think it’s fair to compare anything to the Nolan Trilogy until Reeves is done w his take in however many films he does.

No dialogue necessary, but the entire interaction told a story in itself.
