Obviously, I was going to follow Batman Returns with The Batman -and because it turned up on NowTV Cinema, and I hadn’t seen it yet, I just had to watch it. I advise against this, by the way, there are definitely moments you compare -like cat woman’s strength when lifting a man. And obviously Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is very different from Michael Keaton’s.

The Batman Review Conclusion
I would watch another one: but it might take me a while to get comfortable with Pattinson as Bruce Wayne. It just didn’t seem like the greatest fit, there was something lacking. But I’m good with him as Vengeance, that totally works. Loved the whole vibe of it though, how dark it was and the almost everyone in crazy masks because it was Halloween. And the Riddler was not at all what I was expecting when he was revealed. I really enjoyed it, despite not quite connecting with Bruce Wayne or the occasional comparison between the characters and previous incarnations -Ozwald gave vibes of the character from the series rather than from Batman Returns. But he also reminded me of someone else, I couldn’t quite put my finger on, Ronald Reagan in some other movie perhaps.
