Critics Consensus

A grim, gritty, and gripping super-noir, The Batman ranks among the Dark Knight's bleakest -- and most thrillingly ambitious -- live-action outings.

Audience Says

It's long, but The Batman looks and sounds great, and its grounded take on Gotham is a solid fit for this Caped Crusader.

“The Batman” reaches for an ingenious and compelling new way to tell a story about the thin lines between corruption, greed and nobility — but ever so limply and always just out of its grasp.

The film I imagine Ricky Fitts would grow up to make after the events of 'American Beauty.'

Still, the premise is solidly seedy. Imagine a sleuthing mash-up of Seven and Silence of the Lambs transposed to Gotham City.

It’s too bad because the unwillingness to scratch at some deeper thoughts about Batman’s cultural positioning leaves us with… an almost-decent neo-noir knockoff.

I don’t care what anyone says, Best Batman movie of all time! I love the dark Knight, but I feel like the Joker is who carries the movie whereas this is a full Batman movie that that’s incredible

The should have casted Christian Bale. Now that we got that out the way, The Batman delivers a brooding, detective-driven take on the iconic character that feels fresh and grounded. Robert Pattinson brings a raw intensity to the role, and the film’s noir style, haunting score, and moody visuals create a gripping atmosphere. The Riddler is a chilling villain, and the supporting cast shines. It’s a bit long, but every minute adds depth to Gotham’s dark world. A bold and impressive reinvention of the Batman mythos.
