A spectacle that’s firmly planted in Reeves’ indie philosophies. It’s an experiment that works at all levels. Dark, brooding and unbelievably realistic. Read more

The Batman is an auteur-driven superhero masterstroke, with the visible finger prints of real directorial vision and all around passion all over over it. Everyone here, on and offscreen, brings their best and it shows in this breathtaking, artistic and daring work of cinema. Read more

It is a dark, grimy, and hard-hitting new beginning for the iconic Caped Crusader, who has here been returned to — and refamiliarized audiences with — his World’s Greatest Detective-nickname. Read more

The Batman checks off all the boxes of what a Batman film should be! It has riddles, fisticuffs, “wonderful toys,” the Batmobile, Catwoman, and a few bonuses too. Read more

It’s a bladder-testing 3 hour movie that still manages to remain engrossing and at times beautifully poetic. Read more

The nit-pickers and flag-planting loyalists will be missing a damn good movie. The Batman has the teeth to impress any of the opposition and eat their hearts out in the process. Read more

Yes there are some well executed action sequences and fight choreography, but it's rooted in the grizzly mystery that will have you guessing right up until the end. Read more

Reeves’ self-possessed direction digs into the character with gravitas and precision, making for a reinvigorating return to basics. Effectively paced, with sober special effects as well as depressingly noir scenarios, the film embraces this darkly captivating mood that, even clocking in at 180 minutes, never felt exhausting.

At the dark heart of it all is, of course, Robert Pattinson, who consistently makes interesting choices in the parts he takes on. He’s perfect for Matt Reeves’ emotionally twisted, brooding incarnation of The Batman, or simply ‘vengeance’ as he identifies himself as to his hapless victims. If the writing improves for the chapters that will undoubtedly follow, it may well become his greatest role to date. Read more

This just might be for diehard fans alone; less faithful viewers will surely wonder what has happened to all of the standard exhilaration and the general sense of fun. Read more

An undeniably compelling take on The Dark Knight with strong worldbuilding that suffers from surface level characterisation, a bloated running time and incomplete exploration of the ideas it presents. Read more

There's nothing here we haven't seen before, with a few moments reworked from Christopher Nolan's trilogy in a manner that comes off as very expensive fan fiction. Read more

The Batman is een duistere, visueel indrukwekkende film noir die geen grote verrassingen kent, maar wel kan leunen op een indrukwekkende cast. Read more

The Batman is een pakkende misdaad-thriller die begrijpt hoe het karakter in elkaar zit. Het is misschien even wennen aan deze andere insteek voor DC's meest bekende superheld, maar tegen het eind ben je om. Read more
